[Water Repulsion] and [Dangerous Electric Domain] are the abilities Su Qiangwei acquired during the A3 District Nightmare event at Henan Yingchuan Academy.
These two Pillar-level superpowers, in her eyes, were actually very weak and felt quite overrated and should have been thrown into the [Under Developnt] category instead.
[Water Repulsion] can only control no more than one liter of water within a ten-ter radius—regardless of superpower erosion, the activation conditions for this power already require being in a watery environnt!
It can’t create even a drop of water out of thin air!
In high humidity areas, it’s manageable, but if she goes to relatively dry places like a desert, she’ll turn into a muggle, completely useless.
[Dangerous Electric Domain] sounds a bit more high-class than [Water Repulsion].
But in practice...
The ability can only release an electric shock equivalent to three hundred and sixty volts, and it can only be released through the hands in a small range. Beyond ten centiters from the hands, the attack power drops significantly, like static electricity on clothes in winter.
And this can be achieved only in high-humidity conditions!
In dry conditions, [Dangerous Electric Domain] can’t even penetrate the air resistance barrier. For an effective attack, hands must be placed directly on the target!
The problem is, a 360-volt electric shock is fatal to ordinary people, causing burns, tallized skin, or even penetrating injuries with a single strike.
But to the life-force-strong Black Rock Martial Arts practitioners, the supposed [Dangerous Electric Domain] isn’t much of a threat.
As for using it against alien invaders?
Better forget about it!
Wanting to engage in close combat, barehanded, is like thinking firearms are no good or assuming one has lived long enough!
In the Yingchuan Academy, the original owners of [Water Repulsion] and [Dangerous Electric Domain] were quite unwilling, seeking to train through personal efforts to enhance capability limits.
For instance...
Controlling all the water in the Pacific Ocean in a mont’s thought to drown the enemy directly!
Or...
Summoning ten thousand volts raging across the heavens and earth in a blink to turn all enemies into charcoal!
Unfortunately!
As the Yingchuan Academy delves deeper into superpower research over ti, they have derived the second superpower principle following "Gain must co with loss"...
"Zero Growth"!
This principle ans that since a superpower’s awakening, its limit is already fixed, and one cannot raise its limit through individual effort, but only harness its potential, finding more suitable ways to use it.
[Water Repulsion] can only control no more than one liter of water within a ten-ter radius.
The electric shock intensity released by [Dangerous Electric Domain] remains constant at 360 volts, with no increase at all!
In Su Qiangwei’s mind, these two abilities rank very low!
Once acquired, they were briefly tested before being tossed aside.
The forr is useful when Su Qiangwei is lazy and doesn’t want to fetch a water cup.
The latter...
If it weren’t for Ma Ran through Liu Huadie’s hint using the [Unity] ability to remind her, she would almost have forgotten its existence!
Without thinking twice, Su Qiangwei nodded vigorously: "Got it!"
With Ma Ran strategizing from the back, she doesn’t need to use her brain.
Just charge forward and end it!
Even though usually, she finds Ma Ran sowhat annoying, wanting to always outdo him, in crucial monts, her subconscious is still willing to trust Ma Ran’s judgnt.
Su Qiangwei landed on the ground and snapped her fingers stylishly.
Snap!
"Water, co!"
With a "bang", several bottles of mineral water scattered on the ground burst open.
The pure liquid inside, as if it could fly in the air, quickly gathered in Su Qiangwei’s palm.
In a blink, a semi-transparent liquid spear about 180 centiters long was ford!
"If it’s purely for conductivity, it could be longer."
With a glint in her eyes, Su Qiangwei’s spear in hand instantly extended to ten ters, piercing hard into a steel puppet’s knee!
Plop.
Nothing happened.
The girl’s face flushed, activating [Dangerous Electric Domain] to full power!
Whizz!
Golden electric arcs followed the water spear, and in an instant, transmitted to the steel puppet’s body.
Crack!
The sound of shattering glass was heard.
The originally heavy, powerful, impervious steel puppet instantly shattered, turning into a pile of tallic rubble.
They fell to the ground, making clinking noises.
"It indeed worked!"
Su Qiangwei’s eyes brightened, the corners of her mouth curling up: "As expected of !"
"Hmm... I must thank Sister Die for the intel."
"Ma Ran also deserves just a tiny bit of credit, like a fingernail."
While Su Qiangwei was experinting with superpower combinations, Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi were about to be overwheld.
"Damn! My wrist is about to break!"
Wan Haihao, normally an elegantly cultured young man, couldn’t help but curse now.
Gripping the Dragon Hunting Spear as he felt like his wrist was about to crack open with excruciating pain: "This spear’s recoil is too fierce!"
"While it can temporarily stop these things from moving, it simply can’t deliver a fatal blow!"
These chunks of tal look sowhat humanoid with limbs and heads, but in reality, they have no vital points or weaknesses.
Whether hitting the head or chest, it only slightly impedes their actions, better off targeting knee joints directly.
Misfortune didn’t strike only Wan Haihao.
Zhu Hanyi faced a similar predicant.
"Goddamn it!"
"Why can’t they be killed?"
"What the hell are these things!"
With a Rain Boiling Sword capable of slicing through tal like mud, he could cut away parts of a steel puppet — an arm, a leg, or a head — with each full-force slash.
But...
It was all aningless!
These steel puppets tirelessly pressed on, impervious to pain, without vital points. Even decapitated, they moved freely.
Moreover, their heavy-handed attacks could smash a street lamp into two with a single punch.
Zhu Hanyi felt his heart was like a war drum, pounded intensely by a crazed giant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom...
His heart was about to leap from his throat!
Drenched in sweat!
Any mistake, if hit by a punch, would result in massive internal bleeding or a burst head, signaling the end.
Even if fate smiled and he wasn’t struck at vital points, only taking hits to the limbs, Zhu Hanyi would be violently dismbered, imdiately losing all combat power, falling on the spot.
Then, the tireless steel puppets would crush him rcilessly.
The steel fists’ wind whistled in his ears, giving Zhu Hanyi goosebumps all over.
In that mont, he felt weightless, dancing with Death on a knife edge.
Zhu Hanyi refrained from swinging his sword further.
Under attack from three steel puppets, rely avoiding hits was the best he could manage now.
An electric, tingling sensation erged from his feet.
As if the natural reaction after long-cut-off blood suddenly flowed along with oxygen again.
This caused Zhu Hanyi to move a bit slower.
Seeing the incoming steel punch, his pupils slightly dilated, mind blank.
Dodging was out of the question.
Taking a hit from this fist would be no better than being run over head-on by a loaded truck.
Dead at!
The wild instincts flowing in his blood urged Zhu Hanyi at life’s brink to glare fiercely, letting loose a primal rage toward the steel puppet from deep within.
"Damn you!"
