Times are changing, whether it's Superman or Homelander is just a thought away

He and Huo Yu were friends from the same department, and after his Superpower awakened, he had shown decent talent. Although he wasn't as formidable as Huo Yu—who could even serve as the director of a Spirit Energy Bureau branch in a major city—he still held an important position.

He also knew all the members of the Hang City Spirit Energy Bureau.

Whether it was Chen Qiang, Su Yue, or Ye Shuirou, the emotions Huo Yu displayed toward them were quite ordinary, merely an appreciation for their respective abilities. But toward this guy alone, the emotions Huo Yu displayed were very strange!

Suspicion, curiosity, and even worship.

But regardless of the specific emotion, they could all see that Huo Yu's attitude toward Bai Xuan was highly unusual!

She would even run over to Bai Xuan's place for no reason at all throughout the week, asking if he had any complaints about his current treatment or if he needed anything, her tone filled with nothing but concern for him.

She was terrified that he might be even the slightest bit dissatisfied.

Yet this guy. This guy actually found Huo Yu troublesome, telling her not to disturb him unless it was necessary!

With an attitude like that, did he think Huo Yu was a sycophant? What a jerk!

Thinking of this, Li Feng's face was filled with envy, anger, and resentment. How he wished Huo Yu would treat him that way; he would never let Huo Yu be the only one putting in the effort!

He had come over this time to see exactly what made Bai Xuan worthy of such treatment from Huo Yu, but now it seemed that, aside from his looks, he had no other merits.

Although Bai Xuan could vaguely perceive what people were thinking, most of the time it was just a sense of their emotions.

If he knew what Li Feng was thinking right now, he would probably roll his eyes.

What era was this? Why was there still such a thing as being green with envy over a woman? Also, how did he know so clearly that Huo Yu came to look after him? Was he stalking them?

Or did Huo Yu share it herself?

"So, you want to test my strength to see if I'm qualified to enter the Spirit Energy Bureau and enjoy these benefits?"

Bai Xuan nodded.

He could be certain that the other party wasn't looking for him because of that; the so-called test was merely an excuse.

As for the real reason? It had to be because of Huo Yu.

After all, he hadn't had contact with anyone in the official organization other than her.

Regarding this, Bai Xuan was also a bit speechless.

What was this? A femme fatale?

But nothing had even happened between him and Huo Yu, so why target him?

Or was it because he was a man?

But Chen Qiang was a man too. Wait, had he already been taught a lesson?

Li Feng didn't know what was going through Bai Xuan's mind and simply said coldly:

"I will give this test my all, and I hope you can demonstrate strength that matches your benefits."

"If your strength doesn't meet the standard, I will apply to have all your current benefits revoked and have you transferred to a regular Spirit Energy Bureau member."

"Heh."

Bai Xuan's lips curled slightly. He didn't know what word to use to describe Li Feng's attitude, but one thing was certain.

"It's really a bit annoying."

"That tone of yours."

"What?!"

Li Feng frowned, not understanding what Bai Xuan was talking about.

"Without the strength to back it up, the weak shouldn't use that tone."

"Senior!"

Bai Xuan raised his head and said with a light smile.

"Bang!"

In an instant, Li Feng's expression changed drastically as his entire body felt an unimaginably massive force crushing down on him.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Without the slightest hesitation, his body was forced to its knees under the influence of this power. Accompanied by a loud thud, the sound of bones fracturing echoed, and intense pain swept through his entire body.

Bai Xuan walked slowly to his front, looked down at Li Feng from above, and said with a smile:

"This is an era where great power belongs to the individual, Senior."

"Those of us with powerful strength often don't like hearing harsh words, and we hate it even more when others talk down to us."

"In the past, it didn't matter. Even though your tone was extremely rigid and bureaucratic, we weren't qualified to do anything to you. But now, the times have changed, my friend."

"Compared to a Superman who saves others while still placing himself in the position of an ordinary person, more people would choose to become a Homelander."

"And what determines their future is the way you speak to them."

"Have you seen it now? My strength? Is it enough to pass the test?"

It was just like Madara Uchiha being taught a lesson by a Kage of some ninja village, or Whitebeard being taught a lesson by a member of some Pirate crew.

Even if there was nothing wrong with their words, was that enough?

Before speaking, they needed to adjust their attitude!

If you want to lecture Madara Uchiha, you must be Hashirama Senju!

If you want to communicate with Whitebeard as an equal, you must at least be a powerhouse on the level of Shanks.

Otherwise, you are merely placing yourself in the position of the weak before you even open your mouth.

The times are changing; the era of Reiki Revival is upon us!

When an individual possesses power sufficient to transcend a nation, the law becomes nothing more than a piece of paper in their eyes!

One of the reasons the state established the Spirit Energy Bureau was to address the emergence of such mindsets.

In a normal Reiki Revival, there would naturally be no issue. Even if geniuses of exceptional caliber appeared, there would never be just one; they could keep each other in check, and the state would have enough time to cultivate its own powerful geniuses.

With the state's assistance, the speed at which they increased their strength would certainly be faster than other Espers.

By then, even if they possessed certain privileges, they would still abide by the laws of the nation.

But the problem now is Bai Xuan. He already possesses the ability to ignore everything, and as someone favored by the World Consciousness with [Nature Authority], he will possess such ability forever in the future!

Neither humans nor Mutant Creatures could possibly possess the power to stand against him.

With him being like this, could he really still see himself as an ordinary person?

"Remember to adjust your attitude properly next time; I'm someone who prefers to hear compliments."

"Or, you could also go find Huo Yu or even someone higher up to complain about me. I don't care about such things."

"In fact, I'm actually quite looking forward to it."

People sometimes have unexpected thoughts, and he was quite curious to see how the state would handle him following a complaint from the other party.

Afterward, Bai Xuan made a phone call and had them take him away directly. Interestingly, Huo Yu actually came along with them.

Then, they saw Li Feng kneeling on the ground.

Huo Yu was no fool; upon seeing Li Feng, she more or less knew what had happened.

The look she gave Li Feng was filled with speechlessness.

"A beauty is a curse."

"I really am a woman burdened with sin."

Huo Yu watched as Li Feng was carried away by a group of people, then touched her soft, delicate face and said narcissistically.
