"How about we hide the Talisman somewhere and give Talisman to Robet and the others when they come looking for us?" Pietro suggested softly.

"Can you give me some reliable advice?" Lorna rubbed her forehead, sighing helplessly at her brother's lack of intelligence, and said softly, "Those Shadowkhan can track the location of the Talisman and find us. No matter where you hide the Talisman, they will find Shadowkhan. What difference will it make if you just throw them at them?"

"Um... that seems to make sense." Pietro scratched his head awkwardly, then said hesitantly, "But we can't just sit here and wait! Taking two or three days off is fine, but if we keep taking leave, it'll be hard for either side to explain!"

"And it seems Robet is quite badly injured. He was already unconscious when Kara held him. I see a large wound on Robet's abdomen; it will probably take a long time for him to recover."

"So we still need to find a way to go to their house!" Lorna's eyes darted around as she said softly, "Barry, you've been the one contacting Teacher Selina before, why don't you ask if you can find out where Robet's house is?"

"Um... if we ask for leave under a different pretext, and then ask where Robet's house is, won't that give us away?" Barry Allen asked Lorna hesitantly.

"You don't need to look anymore, we're here!" Just then, Kara's voice rang out from outside the door. She took the initiative before Robet could speak, pushing open the door and walking in.

After finishing their family dinner, Kara and Robet went straight to find out about the Talisman without any delay. After all, they didn't know that the Shadowkhan wouldn't appear again, at least not the Shadowkhan controlled by Demon Sorcerer. They were also worried that Peter Parker and the others might cause too much trouble...

"Kara? How did you know we were here? Oh? Robet, are you healed?" Lorna frowned slightly when she saw Kara, and was asking her questions when she suddenly noticed Robet behind Kara. Lorna's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked at Robet and asked with concern.

"Huh? You've all gained superpowers?" Robet looked over instinctively upon hearing Lorna's voice, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, because he sensed that Lorna's aura was completely different from before.

It seems Lorna, like Pietro, has awakened superpowers, and not just the two of them, but Barry Allen as well. Only Peter Parker remains unchanged, his aura showing no alteration whatsoever...

"Talisman have this kind of power? How come I never noticed it before?" A hint of doubt flashed in Robet's eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Robet was already quite familiar with the Talisman, after all, quite a few people had obtained Talisman, and Robet himself had even studied the Lucky Talisman. However, although he could deduce the power contained within the Talisman through his Qi, he did not awaken any superpowers because of the Talisman, and neither did Jackie Chan and Jade show any signs of gaining superpowers.

"Yeah! We've gained superpowers! And it looks weird, a little different from the original Talisman's power. Is there something wrong? Robet, could you take a good look at it for us?" Lorna blinked, glanced at Kara with a hint of provocation, and then smiled at Robet.

"By the way, Robet, you still haven't told me if your injuries have fully healed? After all, you looked quite badly hurt that day, and we... we were really worried about you!"

"Crack! Crack!" Two sounds came from Kara's side, it was hard to tell whether they were from teeth or fists, but it was certain that Kara either wanted to punch Lorna or bite Lorna hard!

"My injuries are fine. Is your superpower different from the power of the Talisman itself?" Robet waved his hand, carefully sensing the auras of Lorna, Pietro, and Barry Allen as he inquired.

When Pietro first awakened his superpowers, Robet vaguely sensed that Pietro's abilities were only somewhat similar to the Rabbit Talisman, and that the essence of their power was not entirely the same. Now, after hearing Lorna's words, Robet carefully sensed it and found that this was indeed the case.

"Give me the Talisman first, and we'll find a secluded place to study them!" Robet said to Barry Allen and Lorna after he had finished sensing them.

"Hehe, okay." Lorna snatched the Rabbit Talisman and handed it to Robet along with her Rooster Talisman, while giving Kara, who was silent beside her, a provocative look.

It's unclear how interested Lorna is in Robet, but Lorna definitely wants to provoke Kara. After Lorna, Kara is her number one rival, and she has to surpass Kara in some way!

"Hmph!" Kara gritted her teeth at Lorna's provocation, but she didn't confront Lorna directly in front of Robet, because she could tell that Robet hadn't understood Lorna's attempt to be friendly at all.

"Let's go! Let's find a place. Peter, why didn't you get superpowers?" Sure enough, Robet took the Talisman, looked at Peter Parker, raised an eyebrow, and teased him as he led the group away.

"I don't know either! Do you think I don't want to? Robet, you have no idea how envious I am when I see them gain superpowers. And I feel that the superpowers they gain are the real superpowers. My superpowers seem to be just physical enhancements..." Peter Parker followed behind Robet with a helpless wry smile.

"Let me investigate. If the Talisman really can unleash superpowers, it might be able to help you..." Robet said to Peter Parker with a smile.

"Really?" Peter Parker was overjoyed and looked at Robet with shining eyes.

"I can't guarantee that! After all, I've dealt with so many Talisman before, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this..." Robet shrugged, preemptively saying, "So it's also possible that the three of them are special, awakening superpowers due to the stimulation of the Talisman's power..."

"One or two being special is one thing, but what a coincidence that out of the four of us, only three of them are special?" Peter Parker clearly didn't think Pietro two companions were special, but soon the greater Peter Parker's expectations, the greater his disappointment.

"It seems that the three of them are indeed special!" Robet didn't spend too much time researching the Rabbit Talisman and the Rooster Talisman. He quickly came to a conclusion and grasped the power contained within the Rabbit Talisman and the Rooster Talisman.

However, the Rabbit Talisman and the Rooster Talisman didn't offer Robet much help. The Rabbit Talisman made Robet a little faster than before, but not by a significant margin; the Rooster Talisman gave Robet's aura Levitation Power when it became invisible, but like Telekinesis, this didn't enhance Robet's combat abilities and could only be considered supplementary...
