All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 182: Rapid Enhancement

After leaving the headquarters of the Nirvana Association, Su Xin instantly teleported to a training base located on an isolated island overseas.

Initially, he spent more than an hour finding all the base locations one by one and setting space-time anchor points at each one, to ensure he could swiftly move to the next location when the operation began.

This was to prevent startling the snake, causing everyone from the other bases to flee in panic once he started acting somewhere.

To his surprise—

This training base was not caught in the chaos and panic as he imagined but was instead methodically arranging several boats for a distributed evacuation.

In fact, given the many bases Nirvana has worldwide, it was impossible for all to scramble for their lives just because Su Xin showed up at one or two of them.

One reason was wishful thinking.

Another was that the data, supplies, and equipment in these many bases are extremely valuable, and they couldn't just abandon them without knowing if the threat was real.

Furthermore, a large-scale evacuation could easily expose the bases, resulting in substantial losses.

Therefore, when Su Xin arrived at the training base, the person in charge was just as a precaution, preparing to temporarily evacuate with some key members to avoid risks in an orderly manner.

However, Su Xin moved extremely quickly.

From appearing at the Nirvana Association headquarters, to massacre between two major bases, then returning to the headquarters to issue orders, and finally arriving at the training base again, the entire process took only a few minutes.

On the few ships at the harbor, some key members were boarding but hadn't had the chance to leave yet.

Su Xin appeared on one of the ships, sitting on the edge of the lookout, and shouted loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, where do you think you're going?"

Those who were boarding and those already on board, along with those waiting to board at the harbor, all turned instinctively upon hearing Su Xin's voice.

At this sight, everyone trembled all over.

"I'll give you two choices."

Su Xin called out loudly: "First, resist me, have a great battle with me, and die here."

"Second, gather everyone here and obediently follow my orders."

"Now, make your choice!"

Everyone looked at each other involuntarily, then turned their eyes to a tall and burly middle-aged man at the harbor.

Su Xin's reputation was so great that even on this remote island overseas, everyone knew of him, and they dared not openly defy his orders.

Including that middle-aged man.

He knew well that Su Xin had just slaughtered two other bases, with his power and ruthless means making any thought of resistance impossible.

As a partner in the Nirvana Association, his loyalty was indeed not lacking, but still, one must be discerning about the situation.

Meaningless resistance would only get himself killed, along with everyone in this base.

So, he decisively raised his right hand, drawing Su Xin's attention, and shouted loudly:

"Mr. Su, I am Shen Liyong, the person in charge of this base. Please wait a moment, and I will gather everyone here and await your orders."

Su Xin nodded with satisfaction:

"Go ahead."

Shen Liyong immediately turned and began issuing instructions, with several people rushing inland at his orders.

He then ordered the people on the ship to disembark and gather with others at the harbor.

Su Xin turned his gaze, sweeping his eyes across the crowd and quickly locking onto a tall woman.

"Fang Mengzhu?"

"She also joined the Nirvana Association?"

Su Xin frowned slightly.

If she hadn't appeared before him, he would have almost forgotten about this woman with whom he once had a relationship and grudges.

After taking a deep look at her, Su Xin instantly teleported to a part of the forest on the island.

The affairs of the Nirvana Association were about to conclude, and now he had time to test his earlier idea to see if he could complete the "Unrivaled Shooter" task and awaken new superpowers.

Conjuring a short knife, Su Xin gazed at a tree ten meters away and drew his knife to slash.

A blade light cut through the air effortlessly, slicing the small tree into two pieces.

Su Xin turned his gaze to another similar distance tree, sending out another blade light.

After a few consecutive slashes—

"Ding! 'Unrivaled Shooter' progress +1."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the 'Unrivaled Shooter' task is complete, and a superpower awakening opportunity is awarded. Would you like to use it?"

"Yes, use it!"

"Ding! Superpower 'Burst Shooter' awakened."

"Burst Shooter LV1: When launching objects, you can choose to amplify one of three properties—kinetic energy, size, or distance—up to ten times."

"Upgrade progress: 0/10000."

"Good stuff!"

Su Xin's face lit up with joy.

This superpower is simply a perfect match with the Sword God Slash. From the situation observed when acquiring the final task progress earlier, the blade aura emitted by the Sword God Slash is also deemed by the system as a projectile, naturally receiving the corresponding amplification effect.

Kinetic energy, size, and distance — any one of these three amplified tenfold represents a significant boost for the Sword God Slash.

Su Xin started trying it out immediately.

As he drew his sword from its sheath, a blade aura slashed out, simultaneously triggering the Burst Shooter superpower, choosing to enlarge the size of the blade aura tenfold.

The original blade aura, about one meter long, rapidly expanded to approximately ten meters, sweeping across the forest.

Five small trees were instantly cut down uniformly.

Subsequently, he tried amplifying kinetic energy and distance separately, both effects were remarkably perfect.

Su Xin glanced at his personal panel.

There were more than seventy thousand causality points.

The reason these causality points are preserved until now is to compare their usage between the newly awakened superpower and the Exercise Maniac superpower, determining which would be more beneficial.

At present, the Burst Shooter superpower seems decent, but it still pales against the Exercise Maniac.

"Upgrade! Exercise Maniac!"

"Ding! Exercise Maniac upgraded to LV5."

"Please choose from the following two traits: 1. Bloodthirsty Frenzy, 2. Vigorous Energy."

[Bloodthirsty Frenzy: When inflicting damage to enemies in battle, you can absorb vital energy to rapidly restore physical strength and injuries, and any excess can be absorbed by the body, slightly enhancing physical qualities.]

[Vigorous Energy: During exercise, energy and physical strength recovery speed increase tenfold, and require no material consumption.]

Looking at the system's two options, Su Xin was momentarily caught in indecision.

It's not about hesitating which one to choose, after all, the second trait, Vigorous Energy, appeared already and he had decisively rejected it before. Even now, he wouldn't consider this trait. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He's actually contemplating whether to spend causality points to refresh the options, because the first trait, Bloodthirsty Frenzy, emphasizes the recovery effects which hold no value for him. Only the slight enhancement to physical qualities is somewhat useful.

But the description merely mentions a minor enhancement without specifying how minor it really is.

Minor, minor – who knows how minor the system means by this word?

Since the system upgrade, Su Xin often faces such dilemmas. Whenever a trait doesn't fully satisfy him, he wonders if refreshing it might yield something better.

Nowadays, the number of superpowers and traits can't grow indiscriminately like before, making each superpower and trait especially significant.

He needs to strive to choose the best possible ones.

But the issue is, if he refreshes repeatedly and no better traits appear, what if it ends up worse than the initial traits?

Not refreshing feels discontented.

Refreshing could waste causality points with no good results.

After a moment's inner struggle, Su Xin gritted his teeth and finally decided to refresh the traits.

After all, the description of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy trait seems to mostly emphasize recovery effects, which are meaningless to Su Xin, almost rendering this trait half useless.

The remaining effective part is only a slight enhancement to physical qualities, and it's mentioned as minor.

This implies choosing this trait is tantamount to choosing only half a trait, regardless of its effectiveness.

Might as well take a gamble.

Unfortunately, the traits refreshed weren't good either, forcing Su Xin to refresh again.

This time, a trait appeared that made his eyes light up, prompting him to make a swift choice.

"I choose [Rapid Enhancement]."

[Rapid Enhancement: The effect of all physical enhancements brought by superpowers is doubled.]

The trait description is concise and straightforward, directly doubling the superpower's own effects, effectively doubling his enhancement speed.

Originally, a normal workout increased strength by one pound per hour, now it increases by two pounds.

As the superpower upgrades, when strength rises to two, three, four pounds, under the Rapid Enhancement trait, the actual effect becomes four, six, eight pounds, and so forth.

This means, as the Exercise Maniac upgrades, the trait's effects become increasingly apparent.

Moreover, using the Ultimate Battle Form for improvement, the Rapid Enhancement also gains amplification.

Originally enhancing one pound every 36 seconds.

Now, every 36 seconds enhances two pounds.

Imagine, someday the Exercise Maniac superpower reaching LV10, with six pounds strength increase per hour, then under the Rapid Enhancement, it grows twelve pounds per hour.

If during combat, it's twelve pounds increase every 36 seconds.

Every three seconds increases one pound.

Just one hour of combat each day can increase twelve hundred pounds of strength — how exaggerated!

"Looks like my focus in the near future should be on the Exercise Maniac, accumulating causality points to upgrade it to LV10 quickly, making it my highest level superpower."

Contemplating the future potential of the Exercise Maniac, Su Xin was filled with excitement.

So far, this superpower is the most valued by Su Xin aside from the Unyielding Dead and Concealment Prayer, and also the one he anticipates the most.
