“Cough, cough cough…”
Hearing this, Yao Yi nearly choked on his stomach acid, frantically swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva to barely suppress the sour and bitter taste in his mouth.
Setting Wang Ting aside, he said excitedly, “Brother Lu, I believe you. If you really were some perverted murderer, I probably would have died back on the hot air balloon.
No matter how others see you, I will always stand by your side.”
“You’re saying strange things again.”
Wang Ting was very dissatisfied: “You saw the big move Lu Bai pulled off before. Do you think he needs your help?”
Lu Bai made no response to this, silently experiencing the changes in his body for a moment, then asked: “Do you think I’m human?”
“Of course, uh…”
Yao Yi’s expression froze. He really wanted to say that Lu Bai was of course human.
After spending some time together, he had finally accepted these absurd situations, only for Lu Bai to pull off another massive stunt for everyone right after.
One look up would tell him that there were still masses of black text hanging high in the sky at this moment.
Possessing such supernatural power, how could he be considered human?
Lu Bai felt waves of abundant power surging out from his limbs and bones: “Then let me rephrase. Do you think I can fly?”
Yao Yi was a bit dumbfounded and subconsciously said, “Probably not… Holy shit?!”
Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, Lu Bai suddenly lifted off the ground, rising until he was level with the utility poles before hovering in place.
Seeing this, Wang Ting wished she could pop her eyeballs out: “How did you do that?! This is unreasonable!”
Lu Bai looked down thoughtfully at the stunned Yao Yi and Wang Ting.
It seemed that Five Immortals Seeking Bestowal depended on the anchor point’s true heart; even if their words didn’t match their thoughts, it didn’t matter.
But this ability fundamentally couldn’t be achieved through cooperation; it had to stem from genuine cognition deep in the heart to take effect.
Fortunately, as long as there was no change in Yao Yi’s inner thoughts, the added flight ability wouldn’t expire.
He landed back on the ground and kindly patted Yao Yi’s head.
“You’re not quite suitable.”
Adults lacked sufficiently wild imagination. He pondered that he might try switching to a different anchor point.
“What do you mean not suitable? Can’t I fly like you?”
Yao Yi didn’t understand what he meant, and Lu Bai didn’t explain further, instead saying.
“You’ve seen me now, so hurry up and leave this urban area.”
He didn’t know what the remaining death fighters were planning, but one thing was certain: this urban area would be very dangerous for ordinary people next.
“Ah? You’re not leaving with us?”
Yao Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly added: “Bureau Chief Xu really wants to see you too. I only got permission to come find you because of him.
And from his attitude, he probably wants to worship you. I bet your wanted status will be canceled.”
“We’ll talk about that later. I still have some things to handle here.”
Lu Bai waved his hand, then soared into the air, leaving Yao Yi and Wang Ting staring wide-eyed at each other in the alley.
Splash splash~
It was worth mentioning that the flight in Yao Yi’s cognition was more like Superman’s, so Lu Bai flying had none of the immortal aura.
Of course, even with some flaws, the experience of soaring through the sky still thrilled Lu Bai endlessly.
Places like his shirt hem and pant legs billowed wildly in the strong wind, feeling the biting gale constantly whipping past both sides of his body—an extremely unique sensation.
But though excited, Lu Bai didn’t forget the main task.
He resisted the impulse to howl at the sky and descended to fly about two hundred meters above the ground, overlooking the urban area below during flight.
From this high vantage, his field of vision was excellent, allowing him to clearly observe the overall situation in the urban area.
Lu Bai slowed down and finally hovered above a convenience store.
“Those two junior high school students haven’t left yet?”
His gaze brightened.
Perfect, just what he needed.
One of those junior high school students had been clamoring to apprentice under him. Why choose adults? Five Immortals Seeking Bestowal should be used on this chuunibyou youth.
He glanced at the cooldown time for switching anchor points—still nearly half an hour left.
He couldn’t waste this time. Lu Bai made up his mind and flew back.
During flight, he spotted a group of death fighters hurrying along. He had originally planned to wait until patrolling the entire urban area before acting, but now with a change of plan, he decided not to wait.
In an alley.
Four death fighters huddled together, clearly at a loss.
After all, they had joined the alliance to encircle and kill Lu Bai, responsible for blocking the side to prevent his escape.
They had been proceeding normally according to plan.
But halfway there, the data panel from the deathmatch system suddenly glitched—the red light representing the “node” flashed chaotically on the real-time positioning map, leaving them clueless about where to go.
Helplessly, they patiently hid in this alley, planning to wait for the “node” to stabilize before checking again.
This decision wasn’t wrong, just bad luck.
If one of them had looked up at that moment, they might have noticed Lu Bai rapidly diving toward them.
Lu Bai had no intention of saying anything to these death fighters.
He first blanketed the alley in black paint, then summoned Long Fang and followed up with Flash Time’s explosive sprint.
He didn’t even swing the blade, just gripped Long Fang and swept low through the alley, and the four death fighters inside dropped dead on the spot.
[Ding!]

No matter how many gold level abilities they had, they were meaningless if they couldn’t use them.
Ink Black and Flash Time, these two color level abilities, were simply unstoppable for sneak attacks when combined.
Unless they had strong defense to tank it, it was one slash each.
Lu Bai stowed Long Fang and returned to the convenience store’s location.
He needed to spend some time properly convincing those two junior high school students—ideally, once Five Immortals Seeking Bestowal was applied, turning him into a maxed-out hexagonal warrior right away.
Under the sunshade on the second floor of a civilian house.
Chang Hu withdrew his gaze from the real-time positioning map and said to the glasses man with a chuckle: “Looks like that one chose flight ability in the third round, and at quite a fast speed too.”
Even with a change of circumstance in the plan, the glasses man remained calm and composed.
“No need to worry. We don’t lack abilities to restrict mobility. The situation is still under control.”
He adjusted his glasses and changed the subject: “Heh, that smiling face has finally stopped. Before the encirclement forms, want to go see that one together?”
