Old Chen swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing as he stared at Qi Wu in delighted surprise.
He had never expected his student to awaken a Second Superpower.
And what was more...
From the looks of it, this was the most mysterious kind of ability: an ocular power.
In the world of Psychics...
Some people, after awakening their first ability, would awaken a Second Superpower through some stroke of fortune.
Their potential exceeded that of ordinary Psychics.
The classroom erupted the moment everyone heard that Qi Wu had awakened a Second Superpower.
"A Second Superpower?!"
Class monitor Zhang Hao exclaimed, "How the hell did Qi Wu get so lucky?!"
Li Yunpeng excitedly grabbed Qi Wu's shoulders:
"Holy shit! Since when did you get this badass, bro? You already had an A-rank ability. With a second one, doesn't that put your potential right up there with S-rank?"
Feng Yuyao stared fixedly at Qi Wu's azure eyes. Her heart suddenly pounded harder as she recalled something her family elders had said:
"Those who awaken a Second Superpower are all chosen ones..."
Qi Wu lazily put his sunglasses back on, a faint smile playing on his lips:
"Mr. Chen, maintaining this ability drains me a lot. Could I apply for a special classroom exemption? Like being allowed to wear sunglasses in class?"
"Of course! Absolutely!" Old Chen's face flushed with excitement.
"I'll report this to the principal shortly. Qi Wu, you must take part in today's sparring session."
Sparring was a special class held once a month at Nanjiang Advanced Superpower School.
Usually, the entire year group participated together.
During these sessions, students could choose opponents to fight and hone their combat skills.
Qi Wu nodded slightly:
"I'll participate."
Old Chen took a deep breath:
"Good. As you all know, today is our practical combat class. Now that Qi Wu has awakened a Second Superpower, this sparring session is all the more necessary!"
His eyes gleamed as he scanned the class:
"Everyone, assemble on the field! I want to see how much you've improved lately!"
The students exchanged glances, but excitement quickly took over. This was their chance to see a Second Superpower up close!
Five circular arenas had been set up on the field. Students from the entire year group gathered around them, whispers rising from every direction.
The subject of their conversation was none other than Qi Wu.
Qi Wu was the handsome silver-haired guy who had gone viral, and now he had awakened a Second Superpower.
The news had already spread throughout the school through its group chats.
As Class A walked onto the field, every student in their year turned to look at Qi Wu.
The whispers grew louder:
"Holy shit, he really is handsome."
"Is that Qi Wu from Class A, the guy who awakened a Second Superpower?"
"I heard he used to be a total simp for Feng Yuyao, the school beauty in Class A. He's completely different now."
"Hasn't Lin Yao from Class B always had a crush on Feng Yuyao? This should be good."
Old Chen walked at the back of Class A's line, using spiritual energy to carry his low voice to every student's ears.
"The principal is watching today's combat class. Don't embarrass yourselves!"
Qi Wu glanced to the side. Sure enough, the goateed principal stood on the spectator stand beside the other school administrators.
The goateed principal's name was Li Shen. When Qi Wu looked up, their eyes met.
He gave a slight nod, signaling that he, too, was watching Qi Wu.
The classes in their year soon assembled on the field.
The dean stood in the central arena and announced in a booming voice:
"Today's sparring session will follow an arena format! The rules are simple-there are five arenas, and you may freely choose one to defend. Win a match, and you can stay on to defend it again. Rewards will be awarded according to your victory points."
As soon as the dean finished speaking, the students were itching to get started.
The top ten scorers in every combat class received rewards, and those rewards were worth a considerable amount.
Soon, several students jumped into the arenas to accept challengers.
One arena in the middle remained empty.
Old Chen gave Qi Wu a meaningful look:
"Awakening a Second Superpower is a good thing, but you still need to hone it in combat. Qi Wu, you're up!"
Qi Wu hopped lightly into the arena and turned to face the crowd with a spin as graceful as a waltz.
The moment the much-talked-about "silver-haired heartthrob" stepped up, every student's attention turned to him.
"Would anyone like to challenge Qi Wu?" the dean asked, looking around.
"I will!"
A tall, muscular young man with handsome features jumped into the arena.
Everyone immediately recognized him as Lin Yao from Class B-another of Feng Yuyao's biggest simps.
Even before Qi Wu stopped simping for Feng Yuyao, Lin Yao had always disliked him.
Now Qi Wu had somehow dyed his hair silver, become effortlessly charming, and awakened a Second Superpower.
It left Lin Yao burning with jealousy and feeling deeply threatened by Qi Wu.
Seeing Lin Yao step up to face Qi Wu, many of the spectators wore knowing, gossip-hungry smiles.
This was going to be good.
The atmosphere in the arena instantly turned hostile. Lin Yao glared at Qi Wu, jealousy blazing in his eyes.
"Qi Wu." Lin Yao sneered:
"Don't think awakening a second ability makes you something special. Today, I'll show Yuyao who really deserves her!"
Below the arena, Feng Yuyao's expression immediately soured:
"Lin Yao, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Qi Wu suddenly burst out laughing:
"Pfft... that's it?"
He picked at his ear with his little finger. "I thought you might come up with a more entertaining line~"
[Enraged Lin Yao] [Annoyance points +100]
"You're asking for death!" Lin Yao snarled through gritted teeth. With a furious roar, his muscles instantly swelled, and a metallic sheen spread across his skin.
His ability was called "Steel Body," and it allowed him to turn his entire body into metal.
He stamped his foot, cracking the arena floor, then hurtled toward Qi Wu like a cannonball!
Whoosh!
The spectators' hearts jolted. None of them had expected Lin Yao to develop Steel Body to such a terrifying degree.
Lin Yao reached Qi Wu in an instant. His heavy metal fist slammed toward Qi Wu's face, only to stop eerily in midair.
It was as though an invisible barrier stood between his fist and the tip of Qi Wu's nose.
Qi Wu gave a lazy yawn. "You can't even touch me. How are you going to kill me?"
Lin Yao's eyes widened. Refusing to believe it, he threw another dozen punches.
Dull thuds rang out one after another, but every punch was forcibly stopped a few centimeters from Qi Wu's skin.
"Done playing?" Qi Wu's smile suddenly vanished. "Then it's my turn."
His figure disappeared in an instant. Before Lin Yao could react, a sharp pain tore through his abdomen.
Qi Wu had driven his knee hard into his stomach!
"Urgh!" Lin Yao spat up a mouthful of sour fluid and doubled over like a shrimp.
"Too weak."
"You're not even worthy of making me use Blue."
Qi Wu looked at Lin Yao with pity, looming over him as he seized his collar.
"Get off the stage!"
Boom!
A fist wrapped in cursed energy struck Lin Yao square in the face.
His body flew out like a rag doll and crashed onto the field.
