Chapter 6, Superpowers

"Have I also triggered the fluctuations?" Luan couldn't help but ask softly. "Then why haven't I been discovered?"

Xia Xingrui said: "The northern dragon, the southern tiger, and the mysterious bird reside in Chang'an City to the west. The mysterious bird is not so easy to provoke, and moreover, the tiger faction has taken action, so the dragon faction will not remain idle either." After speaking, Xia Xingrui glanced at the photo on the table, which appeared to be of an abandoned warehouse.

Although major organizations have different names for the five stages, the rating criteria are largely similar. As for the specific classification of abilities, there are more detailed categories. A total of 5,230,000 individuals with superpowers are registered worldwide, concentrated in various cities

The properties of dark matter differ from those of normal particles, and the enrichment rules for dark matter particles are distinct from those of ordinary particles. In a typical chemical process, a common particle undergoes metabolism, while dark matter particles gradually precipitate during this chemical process. If a chemical process continues for a sufficiently long time, and if the changes occurring in that process are substantial over an extended period, then dark matter will accumulate in such a chemical process. Everyone can imagine what this chemical process is. However, dark matter particles gradually precipitate during this chemical process. If a chemical process continues for a sufficiently long time, and if the changes occurring in that process are substantial over an extended period, then dark matter will accumulate in such a chemical process. Everyone can imagine what this chemical process is. It is the replication of human genes.

The entire city is filled with various new technologies, a combination of the cultural fusion of the East and West from the last century and modern science and technology. This allows the city to radiate a dazzling brilliance

In the library, Luan is browsing through a book, reading the information he desires. This book elaborates on the phenomenon of superhuman abilities among humans in this world

Luan quickly flipped through the pages of the book and soon found the answer—superhumans are able to manipulate the changes in the surrounding dark matter field, and the human government can locate superhumans based on these changes in the field

The duration is long, from the ancient times of life's birth to the present.

Luan closed the book, affirming what he should do at this moment. Being free from disaster and harm is the greatest utility of his current abilities. As long as no one targets him, with the halo of an ordinary passerby overhead, he will not be harmed by any unforeseen events

The entire range of fluctuations is too broad. So far, the Xuanbird Department of this world can only confirm that the source of the fluctuations of the atomic clock's inertia phenomenon is in East China. It cannot even determine which specific province it is in, let alone pinpoint the city.

In his previous life, Luan had watched the classic Hollywood movie X-Men, in which those superhuman beings could not be uniformly contained by the government, leading to a war between the mutants and the human government

The scene shifts again to the top of a building in the Shanghai area, where a white-haired elderly man dressed in a Tang suit has received news that two powerful individuals in Chongming City have accepted a mission. The elderly man nods and then speaks to the image on the computer screen, saying: "Hua Ming, oh Hua Ming, in your quest to explore the powers of time, you have actually resorted to using the sacred ground!"

Xia Xingrui shook his head and said: "To rest with closed eyes, one should close their eyes, rather than rolling them around restlessly."

However, upon reaching Level 4, Liu Yu was able to focus sunlight over hundreds of light meters into a spot the size of a palm on a sunny day, sufficient to melt a coin. Liu Yu's self-designation as the Son of Sunlight thus originated from this.

Liu Yu scanned the card with the device on his wrist, and a series of numbers appeared in the frame of the wrist display. Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "I will take this job."

Xia Xingrui glanced at Liu Yu, took out a bank card, waved it in front of Liu Yu, and said: "This card contains the operational funds. If successful, the reward will be ten times the amount in this card."

These two handsome young men and women, both around seventeen or eighteen years old, are at level four. While their abilities are similar, Liu Yu's attack power rivals that of a level five in sunny weather, yet he is restrained by Xia Xingrui

In the single room, Xia Xingrui placed the documents from his bag in front of Liu Yu. Liu Yu glanced at the documents with a puzzled expression and said, "That is not within the sphere of influence of the Tiger Department. What exactly do the old gentlemen above want to achieve?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "As long as it's during the event period, you listen to me, everything will be fine. I have completed many tasks like this, and our cooperation has a success rate of up to 90%. Now, there is only one question left: what is the remuneration?"

Caught in the act, Liu Yu faced reprimand from Xia Xingrui and did not dare to retort. However, this time, Xia Xingrui did not further criticize Liu Yu for personal moral issues.

In fact, Luan's guess is quite accurate. The amplitude of the self-induced fluctuations is not large, but the range of the fluctuations is very broad. Looking ahead to the next second means being able to simulate all particle phenomena within a light-second. The information within a light-second of topology. The real impact on this world is only the weak phenomenon of atomic clock stagnation.

After brushing her long hair, Xia Xingrui said: "None of the four level 5 abilities in Chongming City are suitable for infiltration. Among the level 4 abilities, yours and mine are the most suitable for hiding and stealth."

The two individuals arrived at a private room under the envious gazes of those around them. The reason for the envy was clear—the man was handsome and charming, while the woman was as proud as a glacier and as beautiful as a winter plum blossom

Upon reading this, Luan revealed a look of confusion in his eyes— all the superpowered individuals were concentrated in their respective cities, which was one of the reasons for the relative peace in each city. So how did this world manage to locate and unify all the superpowered individuals

As Lu An gained more knowledge, he discovered that the state of the world was different from that of his previous life. He began to gradually realize that his current situation might be a form of superpower. The present Earth is very unique, more so than other planets. A large number of exotic particles erupt from the Earth's core, making the entire Earth one of the few regions in the universe where various particles can be observed. Experiments conducted on Earth can capture dark matter particles. Scientists have perfectly explained the structure of the universe based on physical theories.

Meanwhile, a young girl with her arms crossed said, "I think the one who is sick is you, Liu Yu." Upon recognizing the person beside him, Liu Yu was momentarily taken aback and smiled as he replied, "So it's you, Xia Xingrui. Well, I was just resting my eyes."

What is superpower? When Lu An first heard this term in this world, he naturally thought of some jokes from the 21st century. In the early 21st century, there were phenomena such as computer fortune-telling and nano rice. Various masters of qigong and various superstitions wrapped in the most fashionable technological terms exploited the general public's lack of understanding of cutting-edge technology, combining traditional mystique to deceive and swindle.

At that moment, a hand picked up a glass of ice water and extended it over Liu Yu's head, suddenly tilting it, causing the ice water to pour over Liu Yu's face. Stunned by the shock, Liu Yu's chair tilted, and he abruptly sat up straight, looking at his hair, which was drenched and in disarray from the ice water, and angrily shouted at the person who had splashed him, "Are you out of your mind?"

Liu Yu, dressed in a stylish high school uniform, leisurely sips iced black tea through a straw. His eyes, seemingly unfocused, are fixed on the ceiling.

Xia Xingrui's ability is to temporarily store the light within a radius of several hundred meters, manipulating the direction of light in any five cubic meters for fifteen seconds. Although the attack power is relatively weak, it can confuse a large number of eyes. Xia Xingrui's self-designation is the Illusion Manipulator

The white-haired elder finished speaking and stared at an old photograph of a warehouse on the computer for a while before continuing, "In 1915, the saint descended upon the land. What secrets are hidden here? Xuanbird Clan! You ultimately cannot keep secrets." After saying this, the white-haired elder glanced at the photograph on the wall behind him, where the saint prime minister was dressed in a Zhongshan suit, seemingly wearing a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu displayed a smug expression; however, after glancing at Xia Xingrui's gaze, Liu Yu suppressed his pride.

After asking himself, Luan smiled, quickly providing himself with an answer. The first possibility is that the fluctuations he induced were too small. The second possibility is that he was seeking benefits while avoiding harm

However, Luan himself did not excessively exploit his superpowers, choosing instead to remain in his own city and live as an ordinary person. The Xuanbird faction is unable to make accurate distinctions among the masses. Luan's trajectory is remarkably normal

What Liu Yu just did was indeed quite lewd. He has the ability to bend light, so within a range of one to two hundred meters, light does not travel in a straight line but can twist and turn, circling several times before entering Liu Yu's eyes. Liu Yu was peering under a skirt. This is a particular application of Liu Yu's ability.

The changes are numerous, with countless instances of evolutionary selection; the human genome is the most complex in the entire world. It has also undergone the most changes over a long period of time. Furthermore, it is the energy process that can most effectively enrich dark energy.

Thus, humanity has acquired superpowers. The world's authoritative organizations categorize human superpowers into five stages based on their comprehensive impact on the world. The first stage is the Awakened, the second stage is the Distinguished, the third stage is the Transcendent, the fourth stage is the Great Power, and the fifth stage is the Divine Favored.

Liu Yu's ability is light refraction, while Xia Xingrui's ability is light retention. When both reached level 3 abilities, they demonstrated the capability of invisibility. Liu Yu can perfectly bend the light that enters him from the side, rendering himself invisible. In contrast, Xia Xingrui's ability involves retaining the light he reflects, storing the light from the blank scene, and then releasing it to achieve invisibility.

This is a city of superpowers, with a population of 6,200,000 residents, of which 10% possess superpowers, while the remaining 70% are individuals with the potential to develop superpowers. There are a total of three such cities across the entire Huaxia territory. The entire Shanghai area is already the most economically developed city in Huaxia, and in the historical context where Meng Wei resides, it falls under the jurisdiction of a national metropolis.

There is certainly another flexible application, which is that during exams, he can also sneak a peek at the test papers from several classrooms. A normal person needs to turn around to see others' papers, but he only needs to bend the propagation of light to see them. It is evident that Liu Yu's ability has a higher combat effectiveness, but when faced with a nemesis, he suffers significant losses.
