"Why did I even come here..." Xiao He lay on the ground, his body already numb. He guessed most of the bones in his body were broken, but at this point, it did not hurt that much anymore. Maybe his brain had secreted too many morphine-like chemicals and temporarily numbed his senses.
He could not move now, so all he could see was the patch of sky above him.
"With this trash Superpower, I still wanted to be some kind of superhero. How stupid..." Xiao He muttered. "Come to think of it, I never planned to become a superhero in the first place. I just wanted to lie around and make some money. In the end... I didn't even make any money, and now I'm going to die a virgin. Isn't that just embarrassing?"
Thinking of that, Xiao He sighed helplessly. "Ah... If I knew I was going to die now, I should've copped a feel of that girl's chest in the helicopter. At least I could've experienced what an E-cup felt like before dying."
Xiao He felt his consciousness growing hazier, but his body, in turn, felt increasingly relaxed.
Though helpless, he had accepted this ending. He calmly clasped his hands together and waited for the end to come. His story was about to reach its finale.
But after a while, he realized that his body really was feeling lighter and lighter.
"Yinglong? Yinglong!" Cui Man's voice came through his earpiece. "We've confirmed his identity!"
Xiao He suddenly opened his eyes, then sat up in one motion and checked his body. There were indeed some bloodstains on him, but... he was completely uninjured.
He moved his arms and jumped around a couple of times, discovering that his body was in perfect health.
"My injuries healed..." Xiao He murmured in surprise. "I clearly didn't have regenerative abilities last time."
When dealing with Typhoon last time, he had been hit once. He had not felt anything at the time, but after returning, he discovered a small scrape on his forehead. Though it healed after two days, it still meant he had no regenerative ability.
But this time, there was no doubt about it. His injuries had completely healed, even his broken bones.
His body brimmed with power. Xiao He clenched his fist, looked at the enemy before him, then folded his arms and said angrily, "So you're the damn Lin Tiannan, huh?! Huh? You enjoyed beating me up just now, didn't you? My turn now!"
However, this Spider-Man had no way of understanding him and simply threw a punch at him.
But Xiao He was no longer in the same league as before. When fighting "Lin Tiannan," his attributes could increase tenfold. In other words, his punch now carried ten tons of force.
Of course, he could not kill this mutant.
The Spider-Man's six fists struck him one after another, but to Xiao He now, it felt like being pelted with snowballs. There was a slight impact, but no pain at all.
"Um, Sister Man, how do you want to deal with him?" Xiao He asked through his earpiece as he endured the other party's attacks.
"Capture him for now. If he refuses to cooperate, knock him out," Cui Man replied. "But don't kill him under any circumstances. Maybe we can find a way to persuade him to help us later. Then, if we run into this kind of situation again, you won't have to personally stall for time. Other mutants can stall for you, confirm their identity, change their name, and then you can step in."
"I see!" Xiao He suddenly understood. He reached out, held his hand before the Spider-Man, and lightly flicked his index finger. The Spider-Man flew backward four or five meters as if struck by a car, rolling across the ground several times before climbing back up.
"Ah, looks like one finger isn't enough." Xiao He raised an eyebrow. The opponent's body was tougher than he had expected.
After getting up, the Spider-Man sprayed a huge mass of webbing at him. The webbing wrapped around his wrists, and the Spider-Man grabbed the strands with all six arms and pulled hard. Xiao He's strength had increased, but his weight had not. He was immediately flung into the air.
A familiar sensation came over him. Xiao He steadied himself in midair, then flew upward.
I didn't expect the flight ability I evolved last time to still be here. Xiao He looked down at the Spider-Man, then grabbed the webbing and yanked it hard. The Spider-Man was immediately pulled into the air.
"Let's finish this and go home." Xiao He muttered, punching the airborne Spider-Man in the abdomen.
He had not used his full strength in that punch, but while it was not ten tons, it still carried at least five or six tons of force.
The Spider-Man's body slammed into the street like a meteor, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"This webbing... is incredibly tough." Xiao He frowned as he tore at it. Even with his current abilities, tearing apart the webbing was difficult. He had heard that spider silk was resilient, but this was absurdly strong.
At that moment, a huge web shot up from the ground and draped over him.
"She still hasn't lost consciousness!?" Xiao He thought in surprise. But more webbing shot toward him, continuously wrapping around his body. It quickly formed a thick cocoon and sealed him completely inside.
"This is getting troublesome..." Xiao He tore at the webbing wrapped around him, but it was far too slick, leaving him with nowhere to exert force. He struggled with all his might, yet it had no real effect. The webbing's elasticity could fully withstand his strength. It stretched but refused to break.
Xiao He immediately grew anxious, and his body began to heat up as the warmth gradually concentrated.
He opened his mouth, and a torrent of fire blasted out, burning away all the webbing on his body.
Another new ability. Xiao He thought. Just as he had deduced before, his Superpower could always enable him to defeat "Lin Tiannan." To achieve that goal, it would keep granting him all kinds of new abilities.
Flight, regeneration, fire-breathing... In the future, he might even gain freezing powers and more.
"What an annoying ability." Xiao He could not help complaining. "It's incredibly powerful once it activates, but the activation condition is ridiculously absurd."
After breaking free from the webbing, Xiao He looked at the Spider-Man on the ground and said seriously, "This time, I'm ending this fight."
With that, Xiao He flew toward the Spider-Man on the ground. Now that he knew how tough the opponent's body was, Xiao He threw this punch with all his strength. A visible shockwave tore through the Spider-Man's chest, shattering the glass of every shop behind him.
The Spider-Man's body convulsed violently, then went limp and collapsed toward him.
"Eugh..." Xiao He stepped back in disgust, having no desire to touch that huge, hairy, spiky spider.
But as the spider fell, the bristles all over its body receded, revealing fair skin and graceful curves. Xiao He immediately opened his arms and caught the young woman.
"Hey..." Xiao He stared dumbfoundedly at the Spider-Man before him and asked in disbelief, "Why is she a girl!?"
"Yes, this Spider-Man is named Xia Yu. She's twenty-one years old and works at a women's clothing store. While working in the warehouse, she transformed into Spider-Man for unknown reasons," Cui Man explained. "Bring her back for now. We'll study the rest slowly afterward."
