Huo Yu's Arrival, Bai Xuan's Self-Deduction

Time passed slowly. Bai Xuan chatted with everyone in the Chat Group while exercising. This was nothing new to him; ever since his past life, he had been able to listen to lectures while sleepwalking.

Perhaps it was an innate talent.

Unknowingly, it became evening. After finishing dinner, Bai Xuan originally planned to train for a while longer, and he was also considering whether to renovate his house and purchase some specialized training equipment.

His physique, after these days of training and autonomous evolution, was no longer what it used to be. Ordinary exercise could no longer make him feel fatigued.

Training without any sense of exhaustion was meaningless to him.

If possible, he really wanted a Gravity Chamber from the Dragon Ball World; only then could he achieve greater progress.

Unfortunately, there wasn't one.

This was true for both his own world and the worlds of the other group members.

Group Leader Su Yunqing's world had one, but as she was currently just an ordinary person, she had no way to purchase it.

"Ding-dong."

"Ding-dong."

"Ding-dong."

The sound of the doorbell rang, and Bai Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Someone was knocking at the door?

He checked the time; it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for any acquaintances to come looking for him at this hour.

Although puzzled, Bai Xuan walked to the door and opened it.

With his strength, he shouldn't have to worry about anyone on Earth being able to harm him. If there really were such a person, he should be able to sense a threat rather than feeling so natural.

However, after opening the door, he frowned slightly.

What met his eyes was a woman, and an extremely beautiful one at that.

A head of fiery red hair danced in the breeze, her willow-leaf eyebrows were slender, her eyes were charming and alluring, her red lips were dripping with vibrancy, and a playful smile rested on her snow-white face.

Judging by her appearance, she looked to be in her early twenties, but Bai Xuan couldn't analyze her actual age; he didn't have the skill to determine a woman's age based on her looks.

He was only wondering why she had sought him out, and why her emotions carried a hint of... amusement?

"Who are you?"

Although he was confused, Bai Xuan didn't show it on the surface and asked in a flat tone.

"What's this? You do something so presumptuous to me, and now you don't recognize me?"

Huo Yu said with a teasing smile at the corner of her mouth, then tried to slip past Bai Xuan into the house, but the next second, a right arm blocked her path.

"I have no interest in playing word games with you."

"If you have nothing to say, please leave."

Bai Xuan said indifferently.

Huo Yu looked up at Bai Xuan. After about ten seconds, she shrugged.

"High school students these days are surprisingly mature."

"Not really, it's just that you are a bit special."

"If it were anyone else with power, they would be impatient to show it off when facing danger and play the hero; yet you chose to hide among the crowd. Although you used your power, no one could discover it because of the unique nature of your ability."

Speaking of this, Huo Yu paused, then looked at Bai Xuan and smiled slightly.

"Can you invite me in to sit for a while now?"

Bai Xuan looked at her deeply. He certainly knew what she was talking about. Without hesitation, he said calmly:

"Please."

Although he didn't know how he had been exposed, if there were no surprises, she must be from the government.

Only the authorities could identify him so quickly among a large number of students.

Even though he still couldn't guess the method.

Clearly, there were no surveillance cameras installed on the playground; they couldn't have identified him as the one who acted through psychological analysis of footage. His registered Superpower was Gold Element Control, and since so many people had awakened elemental powers, they had even less reason to be sure it was him.

In the living room, Huo Yu sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking at Bai Xuan with a smile on her lips.

"Although smiling is a way to bring two people closer, if you smile too much, the other person might think you're silly."

"Bang!"

A cross-shaped vein popped up on Huo Yu's head. Can this person even hold a conversation? You're the one who looks silly smiling!

"Normally, you should be asking me how I determined that you were the one who attacked the Crimson Flame Bird on the day of the Superpower registration."

"Oh, is that bird capable of manipulating fire elements called a Crimson Flame Bird? Its strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Has the country already named it? So, the number of these birds is not small, perhaps even numerous."

"I asked friends from other middle schools, and their schools also encountered the same birds, but they were uniformly killed by firearms."

"So, does this species of bird come from the authorities? A tool used to demonstrate the power of firearms?"

Bai Xuan had already speculated about this, especially after friends from other high schools complained to him about encountering the same type of bird during their own superpower awakenings.

This bird. Forget it, let's just call it a Crimson Flame Bird.

The strength of the Crimson Flame Bird was not weak, especially considering it possessed such power on the very first day of the superpower awakening.

Even if other creatures had awakened simultaneously, this should still be considered a prodigy.

However, the fact that these birds appeared in other schools meant that the number of Crimson Flame Birds with such strength was not small, yet he had never encountered one in the city; this was not normal.

Therefore, the only possibility was that they came from the authorities.

There was no need to mention the display of firearm power; it was mainly to prevent students like them, whose minds were not yet fully mature, from becoming too confident in their own abilities and causing social unrest.

But these things didn't really amount to much.

What puzzled him more was another issue.

On the other side, Huo Yu was left completely bewildered by Bai Xuan's series of deductions.

Had she revealed anything? She had clearly only mentioned the name of the Crimson Flame Bird.

How could he deduce so much from just a name? And, damn it, it was all correct?!

"Hoo."

Fine, fine, this didn't really count for much. She had looked into Bai Xuan's background before coming; he had excellent grades and a mature mind, so it wasn't strange that he could deduce these things based on a few pieces of information.

Or perhaps he had already harbored such suspicions, and her mention of the Crimson Flame Bird's name simply confirmed them.

Coughing twice, Huo Yu was just about to say something when she heard Bai Xuan's inquiry again.

"The power of the Crimson Flame Bird is not weak. In what way did the state cultivate them?"

"I am very certain that the Reiki Revival began on the night of the Seven-Star Alignment; there is no such thing as a situation where the Reiki Revival had already begun in the past but was simply not obvious."

"Under these circumstances, it is impossible for the state to have cultivated such a large number of Crimson Flame Birds with non-negligible combat power."

"So, is it because of superpowers? Beast-taming or summoning-type superpowers?"
