My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 195 - 194: Rooftop Conversation

Biao’s full-force assault rendered the unfortunate security guard unconscious on the spot, leaving him unable to speak and prove his identity.

In such a pitch-black environment, Biao naturally wouldn’t think there’s anything wrong. He was quite excited as he punched the security guard’s abdomen heavily.

The intense pain did wake the unfortunate security guard up, but he was only able to scream harshly.

The more the security guard screamed, the more excited Biao became. He continued to punch repeatedly, finding such torment unusually pleasurable.

He laughed out loud as he punched.

"Heh heh heh! Kid, you’re still too naive! All’s fair in war, and that’s how we Snake do things!"

Frankly speaking, Lv Bai couldn’t help but feel reluctant to continue watching.

To prevent the unfortunate security guard from being beaten to death, he had to move closer, raising the gun to Biao’s back of the head, and pulled the trigger.

It’s worth mentioning that Biao’s back of the head had already been shot by Lv Bai once before.

This shot hit the same spot again, causing Biao to instantly become stupefied, unconsciously releasing the unfortunate guard from his grip.

His whole body went slack, letting out faint whimpers, unable to form a complete sentence.

The gunshot wound at the back of his head still leaked some colorless, transparent cerebrospinal fluid.

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body; even a minor injury can cause tremendous impacts.

Biao was now in such a situation that he felt unable to effectively control his body; he wanted to reach out, but ended up lifting his right leg.

Lv Bai waited for a moment, confirmed that the opponent wasn’t pretending, and then confidently waived his hand, dispersing the darkness in the hall.

"Hiss..."

"Huh? Damn!"

"Biao! How is this possible?!"

As the darkness faded away, under the bright lighting, the scene in the hall became clear.

All those present were in absolute disbelief.

Xia was naturally beaming, whereas the security chief and his guards had a hard time believing their eyes.

It’s understandable; Biao was responsible for overseeing the bar, and they mingled together every day, so they knew very well how powerful Biao truly was.

Yet even such a fierce individual had been subdued; there wasn’t much left of their morale.

After a brief moment of shock, the security chief didn’t hesitate, didn’t even utter threats, just turned around and fled.

His security guards obviously couldn’t be foolish enough to stand their ground for Ai Shang Bar; they all followed closely behind the security chief, escaping in a frenzy.

In the blink of an eye, only Lv Bai and Xia remained in the hall.

"Help, help me, I don’t want to die, I’m begging you... What do you want? You want the Body Forging Technique, right? I can give it to you, I’m begging you..."

Biao lay face down on the floor, his head tilted slightly, pleading intermittently.

Truth be told, he had a premonition that he was truly done for this time, but survival instinct led him to cling to the sliver of hope.

Lv Bai squatted beside Biao, chuckled, and asked, "Where is this Body Forging Technique you’re talking about?"

The cultivation methods of this world were something he truly desired.

Admittedly, "Flash Time" and "All Ink" gave him a high chance of remaining undefeated.

But after battling with such martial artists, Lv Bai also clearly realized how powerful these martial artists indeed were.

Just dealing with a thug from a small gang was exhausting all his skills, ultimately relying on a gun to wear him down.

If it were a martial artist of a Prison Area Chief’s caliber, Lv Bai even suspected that he wouldn’t be able to penetrate their defenses even if they stood still.

He had to quickly enhance himself.

Either endure until the next round to see if he could acquire a useful ability.

Or, he had to rely on this world’s cultivation methods to become stronger.

With over a hundred points in talent, Lv Bai thought he could count himself as a one-in-a-million martial arts prodigy.

"You... you first, save me... I..."

Biao struggled to speak, giving a feeling that he might pass away at any moment.

Yet, he still hadn’t mentioned the whereabouts of the Body Refining Technique, just hoping to use this single bargaining chip to save his life.

"You really can’t see the situation, can you?"

Lv Bai shook his head, got up without hesitation, and left.

"Brother Bai, that’s great, I knew it, a mere Biao couldn’t possibly match you."

Seeing Lv Bai wrap things up, Xia quickly ran to his side, "You’re amazing, if you can rescue Xia Mei this time, my life—Ma Qingyun’s life—is yours. If you tell me to go east, I’ll never dare go west."

Upon hearing this, Lv Bai was silent for a moment.

He had indeed forgotten to keep someone alive to ask about Xia Mei’s whereabouts.

But it wasn’t a big issue; he naturally turned towards the staircase, "Let’s take a look in the upstairs private rooms, you don’t need to worry too much."

...

Ai Shang Bar’s rooftop.

Under a patio umbrella over two meters in diameter, there was a glass table set up.

Two men were sitting opposite each other. One of them picked up a tall glass, swirling the ice in the cup, appearing quite relaxed.

While the other muscular fellow was not so relaxed; on the contrary, he seemed rather anxious.

He gulped down his whiskey, then directly smashed the glass.

"Damn it! Why aren’t they coming yet?"

"Why the rush?"

The suited man opposite him loosened his tie leisurely and said, "Being able to witness such methods, it’s worth waiting all night, wouldn’t you say?"

The strong man glared at the suited man with dissatisfaction.

"It might be easy for you to say, but later I’ll have to step in and stabilize the situation. The seventeen hundred shops and twenty-six factions in the entire Peace Alley rest on my shoulders!"

The suited man snorted coldly, placed the glass back on the table, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Hei Jinbao! All Heart for Alley—it’s not your place to say those words."

The atmosphere between them gradually became tense, and it seemed the suited man noticed this as well.

He softened his tone a bit, "Brother Jinbao, we’re working for Daoist Master; don’t you know the kind of person Daoist Master is? I’m actually willing to take more hardship. If you’re really discontent, after things are done, I’ll compensate double whatever Peace Alley loses tonight from Chikan South Road."

To reach such a position, one can’t be merely a boor.

Hei Jinbao was merely finding an excuse to gain some benefits.

Now that he’s gotten the benefits, he wouldn’t continue to entangle over this topic.

He turned to talk about, "What about that little girl?"

"Up to you, after all, Daoist Master just wanted to test that guy, right? Lv Bai, you mean?"

The suited man shrugged, then continued, "I was wondering why Daoist Master knew such a minor character, but now it seems the guy really does have some special skills."

Hei Jinbao pondered for a moment and tentatively asked.

"Thirteen Orphans, do you think Daoist Master intends to take on apprentices?"

"Let’s not idly guess Daoist Master’s intentions."

Thirteen Orphans turned his head toward the staircase, "Oh, here they come."
