Situation

Su Li watched seven or eight similar videos in total. Finally, he found what he was looking for--

"After two years of effort, we have successfully transformed superhuman technology into a Breathing Technique that anyone can practice. Next, I'll provide a detailed explanation!"

The video featured an elderly white-haired man. After speaking, the old man pulled a thick stack of A4 paper from beneath him. He read the contents on the paper while beginning his explanation.

An hour later, Su Li turned off the video and stared at the official website, which had no more updates. He fell into deep thought.

After listening to an hour of the so-called "Breathing Technique," Su Li was certain that it was an alternative form of Guidance Technique. However, someone had artificially added all sorts of miscellaneous elements to it, giving it other functions—for example, allowing ordinary people to guide energy, strengthen their bodies, and become superhumans.

However, everything had its gains and losses. This Breathing Technique could accomplish something even "Infinite Star Sea" could not, but its efficiency at guiding energy was simply unbearable.

With Infinite Star Sea, the amount of energy Su Li could guide at once was practically limitless. For example, if he consumed a Gorol Energy Crystal, Infinite Star Sea could easily guide and utilize that enormous amount of energy.

But if he switched to the "Breathing Technique," Su Li estimated that even drinking petroleum would result in some waste. It couldn't utilize energy efficiently, and that was a fatal flaw!

"Still, even so, if ordinary people really learned this thing, they'd have a certain chance of becoming superhumans!" Su Li muttered, stroking his chin.

Su Li stood by the dormitory window, staring absently at the street outside.

With news like this suddenly being announced, things would probably descend into chaos for a while!

Just as Su Li was thinking this, a camouflaged off-road vehicle suddenly drove down the street ahead.

A moment later, two fully armed police officers leaped out of the vehicle and took up positions on opposite sides of the road.

Su Li: "..."

"All right, I was overthinking it. Looks like they were prepared in advance!" Su Li shook his head, then turned around and sat back down on the bed.

"Su Li, have you finished watching that thing?" Zhang Yu jumped down from his bed and asked.

"Yeah, more or less." Su Li nodded.

"Do you think it's real?"

"Probably." Su Li answered indifferently.

"But people online are arguing like crazy. Some say it's real, while others say the website was hacked and all the videos were forged. After all, with current technology, making videos like that wouldn't be difficult at all!"

"Besides, although I don't know much about cutting-edge science, I do know enough to understand that with current scientific standards, how could anyone create something that exaggerated?"

Zhang Yu was rambling somewhat incoherently. The news on the official website had clearly dealt a major blow to his worldview.

Zhang Yu was a top student at Donghai University. If even he was like this, Su Li could already imagine how many people would remain anxious throughout the day!

Perhaps the heart attack rate would even reach an all-time high!

Su Li patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Zhang Yu. Take a deep breath first!"

In~

Out~

"And then?" Zhang Yu asked.

"We have to trust what we've seen. Whether it's real or fake is for you to judge yourself." After saying that, Su Li continued, "But I'll share my thoughts too. I think this thing is very likely real!"

"Come, take a look!" Su Li pulled Zhang Yu to the window, pointed out the two fully armed police officers, and said, "You understand now, right? The state is cooperating with this wholeheartedly. That proves the website wasn't hacked!"

"Then..."

"As for the issue of technology you mentioned, we have to believe that anything is possible!" Su Li interrupted Zhang Yu and continued, "Maybe it's a miracle of science. Maybe it was an unpredictable accident. It might even be alien technology... In any case, the state has already given us an answer. They possess this black technology called 'Superpower Technology'!"

Zhang Yu: "..."

After a long while, Zhang Yu finally said, "Old Su, I suddenly feel like you're incredible. How can you stay this calm in a situation like this?"

"Yeah, I'm doing all right."

"However, you can only rank third in our dormitory!"

Su Li: "Huh?"

"Zheng Hongyu is first. Look, he's been sleeping calmly the whole time, and he's sleeping incredibly soundly! Zhao Shengkai is second. He's been studying that 'Breathing Technique' since the beginning, and he's completely absorbed in it now!" Zhang Yu explained.

"You have a point." Su Li glanced at Zheng Hongyu and Zhao Shengkai, then nodded.

Zheng Hongyu was one thing, but Zhao Shengkai was actually able to study the "Breathing Technique," which was so complicated that it could give ordinary people a headache, under these circumstances. That was truly impressive!

"Since this is real..." Zhang Yu muttered a couple of times before suddenly saying to Su Li, "Su Li, the old man at the end of the video said that besides the 'Breathing Technique,' the key to becoming a superhuman was having a body that was constantly in peak condition. Someone in a sub-healthy state could never succeed!"

"So, let's go work out?"

"Uh..."

After hesitating for a moment, Su Li ultimately rejected Zhang Yu's suggestion.

First, he didn't need to. Second, no one knew what was happening outside yet, so it was better to stay hidden in the dormitory for now.

Although he was already E-, he still couldn't afford to act recklessly when the situation called for caution!

"All right, then I'll go run a couple of laps first!"

With that, Zhang Yu quickly changed clothes and ran out full of energy.

Watching Zhang Yu's back, Su Li fell into deep thought.

"Everyone becoming superhumans? That's unlikely. Even the Gorol Civilization only had one person in a thousand become a superhuman, so Earth has even less of a chance!"

"If that's the case, then it's no wonder the Detective Bureau placed its headquarters here in the university town!"

Su Li seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly cleared.

To become a superhuman, one first needed to learn the "Breathing Technique," and second, one needed a body that was constantly in peak condition. Ordinary people generally couldn't meet those requirements.

Ordinary people couldn't have large amounts of knowledge directly instilled into their minds like Su Li had. They needed to learn bit by bit.

The Breathing Technique was incredibly complicated, and ordinary people lacked sufficient learning ability. They would probably need a very long time to master it. In that regard, the people in the university town had an advantage in both free time and learning ability!

Furthermore, the human body was at its peak between the ages of twenty and thirty, while the university town was precisely where the most young people in the city gathered!

Thus, the place where superhumans would erupt in the greatest numbers in a city was very likely to be around the university town!

"Truly crafty. This way, the chances of ordinary people causing trouble after becoming superhumans are greatly reduced!"

Su Li hadn't forgotten that the so-called director of the Detective Bureau, Ye Mohan, was an E+ superhuman. An ordinary F- newbie was practically no different from a chick in her hands!

If Donghai City was like this, the other cities across the country were probably similar!

Even if the other cities weren't as important as Donghai City and their directors didn't possess Ye Mohan's strength, they should still be powerful enough to keep the situation under control!
