Chris Was Stunned

Chris Was Stunned. Soon, the recording reached the moment when the boy held a glass cup.

Seeing the strange movements of his hand, confusion appeared in Chris's eyes.

The next second, he was stunned.

The boy in the footage pointed at the glass cup. Then, space seemed to turn into glass before shattering with a bang! The powerful impact instantly smashed the cup, sending the shards shooting toward the wall at an astonishing speed! "What?"

Chris's face was filled with shock.

In an instant, he connected it to a Mutant Ability.

"Wasn't this kid's ability absorbing sunlight? Since when did he gain such a strange ability? And its destructive power isn't bad either?"

The burly middle-aged man said in surprise.

Though it seemed he had to get close for it to work, it was still far better than merely absorbing sunlight. At the very least, it set him apart from ordinary people and gave him the power to easily kill them! Unable to hold himself back, Chris hurried into the room. Looking at the puzzled boy, he bluntly asked, "Kid, isn't your ability absorbing sunlight? How can you use that move too?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand in demonstration.

Su Yao understood and asked suspiciously, "How did you know?"

"Sorry, I looked through the information in your pocket earlier." Chris took out his notebook and showed it to him. "And this..."

"Surveillance cameras?" Su Yao frowned slightly.

Chris said awkwardly, "As a mutant, you know, I have to be a little cautious, so I installed some cameras."

As he spoke, he walked over to the surveillance equipment and switched it off. Embarrassed, he said, "All right, kid. Now you don't have to worry about me seeing your private matters."

"You still haven't answered me. That ability of yours..."

Su Yao hesitated before answering vaguely, "Like you said, mutants have to be cautious, so I hid some of my abilities."

Understanding appeared on Chris's bearded face.

So that was it—he had hidden an ability? That made sense. It was normal for a mutant with two abilities to conceal one of them.

He looked at the boy approvingly and said, "Indeed, you did the right thing."

Then, he smiled and assessed him. "Your sunlight-absorbing ability is a bit weak, but this one looks all right. It isn't especially destructive, but it can keep you safe."

Compared to the destructive power of powerful mutants, the boy's ability could only be considered average. Still, Chris could not say that outright, so he offered some comfort instead.

After saying that, he shook his head and left.

Once he was gone, Su Yao let out a sigh of relief.

Now that he had calmed down a little, he noticed the changes in himself.

"The energy in my body has increased again..."

Feeling the energy inside him, enough to release Black Particle around sixteen times, a faint smile appeared on Su Yao's pale face.

Suddenly, he noticed something. The delight in his eyes deepened.

He realized that as the energy in his body increased, the lifespan estimated by the panel had actually changed, adding one more day to his life! Su Yao was astonished, then quickly understood.

Light Energy could already help his body recover faster. Given how terrible his condition was now, it was normal for the numbers to change.

Still, this gave Su Yao a glimmer of hope.

Could increasing the Light Energy in my body let me live longer?! Unable to restrain himself, he dragged his weak body out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled open all the curtains.

The little sunlight that had been there suddenly illuminated his entire body!

Light Energy +1

Light Energy +1

Noticing his Energy Points increasing, Su Yao was in a good mood.

But before he could be happy for long, his expression changed slightly.

He looked out the window and saw several uniformed FBI agents in the distance, going door to door and asking questions. They had not given up searching for him at all! The temporary peace had nearly made him forget that he was still being hunted. If they noticed him, he probably would not even be able to run! Su Yao quickly crouched down to avoid being seen, his expression turning solemn.

With his current strength, it would be difficult to escape if he encountered those people!

"Looks like I need to improve my strength as soon as possible!"

After thinking for a moment, he decided to focus first on improving Space Teleportation.

"The current environment isn't suitable for practicing anything else. I'll practice this first!"

He immediately began practicing Space Teleportation.

Space Teleportation Experience +1

His figure flickered in and out across the room, appearing everywhere in flashes. It looked frightening enough that, in the middle of the night, it could probably scare someone to death.

After consuming half the Light Energy in his body, he stopped for the moment and noticed a problem.

If he kept practicing, he would need to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy within his body to have enough energy for training. That would make collecting Energy Points for the panel much slower.

After all, sunlight would be supplied to his body first. If his internal energy was lacking, he would not be able to collect any Light Energy at all.

In other words, he had to choose between Unlock Progress and improving his ability level.

Gritting his teeth, Su Yao decided that improving his ability level would take priority at critical moments. Unlock Progress could wait.

After all, he already had more or less enough abilities for now. The most urgent matter was raising their levels, especially Space Teleportation! Time passed quickly as he practiced...

During this time, he also noticed something else. With a sufficient supply of food, the energy in his body actually recovered on its own, allowing him to raise his ability levels a little faster! Soon, noon arrived.

Under Su Yao's expectant gaze, the panel data changed.

A notification sounded.

Ability: Space Teleportation (0/500), Level 2

It was finally Level 2! Su Yao eagerly felt the changes in himself.

The most obvious change was that the distance of Space Teleportation had increased! After testing it, he found that the previously useless two-meter range had increased to nine meters, nearly ten!

"Let's just count it as ten meters!"

Su Yao was in a good mood.

This improvement greatly enhanced his ability to escape.

Though the difference was only a few meters, in this area full of houses, it would still be difficult for those people to catch him before his energy ran out!

Glancing at the panel, he fell into a happy dilemma.

The difficulty of leveling up had suddenly increased by quite a bit. There was no hope of raising Space Teleportation again within the next day or two!

After thinking for a moment, his gaze immediately shifted to Black Particle, his only ranged attack at present.

If the level of Black Particle increased, its attack range and the area covered by the Black Particles should increase as well...

"I should be able to finish by evening!"

As he thought of this, Su Yao's eyes turned cold.

"When those people come looking for me, I'll give them something to remember!"

He knew it would not be long now! If he thought those people would take a long time to find him, he would be underestimating them.

Moreover, during this time, he had seen that those people seemed to have started entering other people's homes to inspect them.

If this continued, they would find this place sooner or later. When that happened...

Shaking his head, just as he was about to continue practicing, he suddenly discovered that the energy inside his body seemed to have changed as well!
