"Hahaha! Who's this pig-face guy? How did he get beaten up ? Hahaha!"
A childish laugh came from behind Wu Liang, which instantly sparked anger in Ren Tao and the shorty, who both glared in fury. For more chapters visıt NovєlFіre.net
"Who's hiding in the back talking smack? If you've got guts, come out!" The shorty yelled angrily.
The pig-face referred to by the speaker was naturally him, his face still swollen and bruised after Wu Liang's morning mist-assisted beating showed no signs of recovery.
The worst part was, he didn't dare go to the examination room for a check-up, so he could only buy medicine himself, afraid of being found out that his injury resulted from a private brawl.
After all, he'd been in too many of these private fights. If the authorities really investigated and exposed his past, he'd be finished.
"Your grandmother is standing right here! Can't you see? You think I'm underage, don't you? You're asking for it, aren't you?"
Zodiac Rabbit stormed out furiously.
Her tone of speaking was one of gritted teeth, and the powder that Wu Liang handed her was repeatedly squeezed in her hand.
"Uh... he didn't seem to mention underage. Anyway, he just called you a potato mine." Wu Liang shrugged and stoked the fire.
Just now, when bickering with the shorty, Zodiac Rabbit didn't pay attention at all; she seemed to have been daydreaming, clutching that powder.
Wu Liang didn't know that supernatural objects either lose power or become damaged.
But it had never happened that they completely broke into powder, and Zodiac Rabbit's mind had crashed as she reviewed every situation she'd encountered over three years of studying the paranormal, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
But she couldn't think of a corresponding situation.
Only then did she notice the buzzing chatter beside her, and on turning her head, she laughed seeing the shorty's pig-face.
"Damn, what's a little brat acting all arrogant for..."
Before the shorty could mouth off, Ren Tao suddenly interrupted him, quickly stopping him from saying anything further, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
Zodiac Rabbit, as Professor Guo's number one disciple for drafting training plans, her name in the building was almost known to everyone.
Of course Ren Tao recognized her!
But this fool around him used to be a civilian Awakened, only recently absorbed by the official expansion, so he didn't have the privilege to be trained by Professor Guo.
Therefore, he abstractly didn't know Zodiac Rabbit!
If this fool continues talking, offending some rural boy from Chengyang City is one thing, but offending Zodiac Rabbit would be troublesome!
"Oh? Little brat, huh? Weren't you just trying to fight? Go on, train with him!"
Zodiac Rabbit, teeth on edge, pointed at Wu Liang beside her and then swung her hand towards the pig-faced shorty and Ren Tao in front of her.
In the next second, they felt an indescribable feeling surge within, rendering their Spiritual Power unable to mobilize any Awakened Ability.
It was as uncomfortable as a fish accustomed to swimming freely in the sea suddenly being pulled ashore.
"To be fair, none of you should use your abilities. I have to see what qualifies you to call me a little brat?" Zodiac Rabbit leaned against the wall, coldly watching.
She remembered very clearly.
When she went downstairs, within the test room, this guy known as Shadow had left a pure physical strength value of over five hundred in the database.
Now that she limited everyone's Awakened Powers, Shadow beating these two would be akin to an adult fighting infants, wouldn't it?
"You... won't make a move?"
Ren Tao asked Zodiac Rabbit, his face looking grim.
He knew that this little girl, though able to only limit others' spiritual power, had trained herself thoroughly in combat to avoid being powerless.
Despite being physically only in her teens, very few could actually win against her in a brawl.
"Is beating you two necessary for me to fight? Let's agree; if you lose, find me next week to lift the restriction. I feel disgusted just seeing you two now!" Zodiac Rabbit stuck out her tongue and said.
"Alright! It's a deal!"
With things as they were, Ren Tao and the shorty knew there was no way out.
Especially Ren Tao, who had seen someone unable to use their Awakened Ability for a month after offending Zodiac Rabbit, until they bought her a sports car to appease her.
"Two against one, are we scared of you?"
Shorty now realized he misspoke to that little girl earlier, but when faced with Wu Liang, he grew arrogant again.
Since none of them could use their Awakened Ability, the difference in numbers was quite evident, and facing four hands with two fists wasn't a joke.
"Oh, is that so? Then let's fight one-on-one." Wu Liang said casually.
In the next instant, his figure shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring, arriving instantly in front of the shorty, scaring him into barely raising his hands in a defensive posture.
Ren Tao beside him screamed in his heart.
This foreign Awakened known as Shadow, why is his physical strength so astonishing?
Considering his speed, he could easily bypass the shorty's defensive posture and attack other parts!
But what nobody expected was that Wu Liang didn't circumvent but punched directly on the shorty's defensive posture.
And to everyone's surprise, the next moment, the shorty flew back several meters, rolled on the ground several times before finally stopping.
At this point, his arms hung powerless, obviously not broken but at least dislocated.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too vast!
"Now it's one-on-one; want to try me?" Wu Liang leisurely shook his fist, his gaze towards Ren Tao gradually growing malicious.
He just remembered the memories about the vagrant, especially how he completely lost his mind as the last incarnation as a Giant Ghost, never recorded by the Ghost Compendium.
Instead, the awakened who arrived at that moment considered him the culprit of the library collapse incident and exorcised him by then.
Wu Liang's mood was really irritated now.
Zodiac Rabbit taking him around to look at rooms to distract him had helped quite a bit.
But these two decided to stir trouble now.
Well, sorry about that!
"Haha, no need, I admit defeat, I'll come back next week to lift the spiritual power restriction, goodbye." Ren Tao wasn't a fool.
The opponent's bullet-like fist might not even have exerted full strength; insisting on trying would be asking for trouble, right?
Saying this, he reached down to grab the shorty lying on the ground and walked towards the elevator, leaving the 32nd floor.
"Yay! Shadow's physical strength is truly impressive! Come play at the research lab when you have time?" Zodiac Rabbit said happily, walking up.
"There's no need for that, you're not the first who wants to dissect me, the previous one was named Yuan Yi." Wu Liang shook his head, quickly refusing the invitation to the lab.
If he actually went there, he might have had to leave something behind.
Before Zodiac Rabbit could continue speaking, Wu Liang suddenly opened his mouth and inexplicably asked, "Were those two guys Awakened or Symbionts?"
"Of course they're Awakened, even the headquarters doesn't have many Symbionts, what's the matter?"
Zodiac Rabbit was still somewhat disappointed she couldn't open him up to see the body's structure.
But after hearing her answer, Wu Liang thoughtfully looked at his fist and, puzzled, said, "Then it doesn't make sense; I was actually planning to completely break both of his arms."
"But when I struck, a strange force dissipated a lot of it, only barely causing that potato mine a fracture."
"Both of them felt like they had Symbiont attributes."
"No, it should be—there's the aura of a Fierce Ghost within them!"
