Chapter 364

Su Quan shut down his Psychic Isolation and used no abilities.

In an instant, his life force rapidly drained away, and his face turned ashen at a visible speed.

"Ah..." Anna cried out in surprise and hurriedly shook off Su Quan's hand.

Immediately afterwards, Su Quan's complexion returned to normal.

"Good heavens, your speed and strength in Absorb Life are much stronger than Jiaying's!" Su Quan couldn't help but exclaim.

In just a few seconds, at least a third of his life force was drained. In other words, without Self-Healing Ability, his life force wouldn't even last for 60 seconds of voice communication!

It's important to understand that his vitality is different from that of ordinary humans. He has Super Vitality from countless Asgardians, including Thor and Loki, as well as Wonder Woman and Amazons.

Under normal circumstances, he could live for tens of thousands of years without any problem!

However, Anna withstood tens of thousands of years of life force for only a few seconds, which shows just how Tyrant's Path Anna's abilities are!

Of course, vitality was no longer of any use to Su Quan. With his Self-Healing Ability, his vitality was practically limitless, so Su Quan had already recovered.

But Anna is different!

Su Quan looked at the panicked Anna and noticed that blood was gushing uncontrollably from her nose, the corners of her eyes, and her ears.

Is this—an overflowing vitality?

That's right. She absorbed tens of thousands of years' worth of life force in one go. "Too weak to be able to absorb any more" doesn't even begin to describe her current state!

She is Mutants, and the life force she absorbs through her abilities can enhance her own strength, so she only bled from her seven orifices. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have died instantly.

"What happened? I, I'm bleeding. I feel something's wrong. Am I... am I going to die?" Anna frantically wiped the blood off her face, but the more she wiped, the faster the blood flowed.

In the blink of an eye, she had turned into a blood-soaked figure.

His face, hands, and clothes were covered in blood!

"Don't be afraid, you won't die," Su Quan comforted her, smiling as he took Anna's hand again.

As early as the very first contact, when they discovered Anna's awakening, the system had already determined that they had entered a combat state.

Absorb Life!

If this doesn't count as a battle, then what does?

Anna's ability to absorb many things—life force, memories, abilities, and even personality—is merely an application of her power.

She has only one ability: to gain superpowers and life force from others by touching them.

Now, Su Quan has also acquired this ability, and he's even stronger Anna!

After all, the key feature of this ability is absorption.

Su Quan possesses Jiaying's Absorb Life and the ability to Absorb Energy by combining countless other abilities.

Therefore, in terms of absorption, Su Quan and Anna are countless times different from Jiaying!

Su Quan planned to draw back the life force that Anna had drained, but if they were to come into contact without opening the Psychic Isolation, Anna would also be unable to control herself from absorbing his life force.

In other words, the two of them are now mutually inhaling.

What comes to mind?

Uh, those who think in the wrong direction should go stand in the corner. Anyway, Su Quan immediately thought of a math problem about a swimming pool filling and emptying water at the same time.

Su Quan was releasing water at a much faster rate than the incoming water, so before long, the life force that had been drained was drawn back in, Anna stopped bleeding, and her condition gradually returned to normal.

Feeling that it was about time, Su Quan let go of her hand.

"I... you... what just happened?" A dazed Anna was at a loss. All she felt now was fear!

Su Quan said, "I can tell you what happened, and I can also tell you definitively that you are fine now."

"So, go take a shower and change your clothes first. Once you've calmed down, I'll slowly tell you the truth that no one in this world knows yet!"

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, obediently nodded, and turned to go upstairs.

In fact, Anna's awakening came without any warning, unlike Cyclops, whose eyes were blurry and painful before he could release laser beams as long as his eyes were open.

Su Quan just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time. If it were like in the movie, with her boyfriend who ended before things even started, or with her parents, then it would be troublesome.

Without any psychological preparation, one might be sucked to death.

More than ten minutes later, Anna came downstairs wearing Su Quan's white shirt.

"I... I can't wear my clothes anymore, can I borrow yours for a while?" Anna said, bowing her head as she sat down next to Su Quan.

"Very beautiful!"

Su Quan glanced at her a few more times. Girls her age look good in anything, let alone a men's shirt, which is a killer weapon!

"What exactly happened? Why did your face turn like that when you grabbed my hand? And why did I start bleeding... and then you were fine when you grabbed me again?"

"No, it's not that nothing's wrong. I can feel something flowing out of my body."

Once Anna calmed down, she wanted to figure out what had happened to her.

Have you ever heard of Mutants?

"Mutants?"

Anna shook her head blankly, waiting for Su Quan to continue.

Su Quan didn't give a long explanation of the origins of Mutants; he simply gave her a basic introduction, letting her know that some humans possess Mutant Gene that awaken during adolescence, altering their original DNA and granting them different abilities.

"Your ability is to gain superpowers and life force from others by touching them. This ability is very powerful, and its potential surpasses that of 99% of Mutants, but—"

"But what?"

"Potential is just potential. Before it is realized, you have no control over your abilities. So when we came into contact, you absorbed my life force, and my life force is at least tens of thousands of years old. You absorbed a portion of it, which was enough to make you bleed."

As Anna listened, she seemed to realize something and said in a trembling voice, "You mean... I absorb the life force of anyone I come into contact with?"

"Yes!"

"Then does that mean I'll never be able to have contact with anyone again?" Anna was struck dumb, and her whole body collapsed.

Tell her that girls her age can't have any contact with people anymore. Anyone would be devastated if they were in her shoes!

For a teenage girl who is just beginning to dream about the future, suddenly becoming Mutants without warning and being unable to contact anyone is an extremely cruel thing.

Her life is about to undergo a dramatic change; her destiny will be completely altered!

Anger?

Despair?

Collapse?

Anna's mind went blank—no, it was completely dark!

In a daze, a warm hand wrapped around her shoulder, and then she felt herself leaning on a strong and reliable shoulder.

She subconsciously looked up and saw Su Quan's smiling face.

Yes, he was smiling.

I'm already in such a miserable state, how could he laugh? How could he gloat? He—

Why???

He, he, he—

Anna's eyes widened suddenly as she stared intently at Su Quan's hand on her shoulder.

"You've figured it out now?" Su Quan said with a smile, "Although you can't control your abilities, I can isolate them. Moreover, I possess the same abilities as you, or even stronger!"

"So we can have normal contact."

"Remember when I told you you would come back to me? Because no one but me could be your man!"

Anna stood up, somewhat agitated, and said, "You knew all along that I was Mutants? And you knew what abilities I had?"

Su Quan shrugged. "The first time we met, I told you that I was drawn here by you, but you didn't believe me!"

"I believe it now."

"So whether you have a boyfriend or I have a girlfriend is completely unimportant. What matters is that you can only be with me."

Anna blushed slightly, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say; things had happened too suddenly.

But one thing she was certain of was that Su Quan was no longer the same person in her heart.

What should I do now?

Anna, feeling lost and uncertain about the future, now has Su Quan as her only support.

In the movie, Anna chooses to run away from home, then meets Wolverine and becomes the target of Professor X and Magneto's struggle.

Magneto's goal in acquiring Anna was simple: he had created a machine that could transform humans into Mutants, and he wanted to use Anna's abilities to activate the machine and turn all of humanity into Mutants.

Professor X, who is on the side of humanity, naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, so he sent the X-Men to rescue Anna and stop Magneto's plot.

Interestingly, if I remember correctly, not long after Anna met Wolverine, they were attacked by Magneto, Sabretooth.

Immediately afterwards, Storm and Cyclops from the X-Men appeared, fought off Sabretooth, rescued Wolverine and Anna, and brought them back to the X-Mansion.

At first, Professor X and the X-Men thought Magneto's target was Wolverine, but Magneto's real target was Anna.
