My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 46 - 45: Leveraging Power

Perhaps it’s because Lv Bai always has a warm, youthful smile on his face, giving off an impression of being harmless to humans and animals.

So when he suddenly questioned, the contrast inexplicably sparked an unnamed anger.

It’s like seeing a small follower who is bullied by everyone suddenly daring to swear back one day.

"Oh? You have an opinion?"

The boss in the black suit had a grim expression and walked up to Lv Bai, deliberately leaning his upper body forward to try and create an intimidating presence.

However, Lv Bai showed no intention of dodging, still smiling peacefully at the opponent, as if jokingly saying, "The Investigation Corps hasn’t even arrived, and you’re already squabbling among yourselves?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Squabbling?" The boss in the black suit laughed furiously.

"Your behavior is very dangerous."

Lv Bai nodded as if it were a matter of course and added, "To put it more plainly, many good things about me, like my patience, courtesy, and morality, are about to disappear."

While speaking, his face retained a kind smile, making it hard for anyone to believe he was threatening.

"Then we’ll wait for those good qualities to disappear first."

The boss in the black suit wasn’t willing to back down.

In fact, he was well aware that these Death Fighters present could never work together harmoniously.

With the possibility of the Investigation Corps appearing at any time, there was no time for them to negotiate slowly.

Taking a tough stance to craft these surviving Death Fighters into a loose alliance and hold a dominant position wasn’t a bad choice.

In other words, even if Lv Bai hadn’t contradicted him, he would have picked out a cowardly guy to establish his prestige.

It just so happened Lv Bai seemed to be in the easily bullied category, everything was falling into place.

Hmm, until his head hit the ground, he held onto this thought.

Xiao Xueyin: "!"

Liu Yue: "!"

Yan Zhiquan: "!"

Bald head: "Boss!"

No one clearly saw what had just happened.

They all had dazed expressions, their memories like fragments after a blackout from drunkenness, even banging their heads couldn’t piece them back together.

From the perspective of others, the boss’s head was abruptly chopped off by Lv Bai’s sword, the process was so abrupt.

Yes, abrupt.

They didn’t really see Lv Bai swing the sword, only confirmed his action from seeing the Eight-sided Han Sword in his hand stained with blood.

It wasn’t due to speed being too fast; if they had to find something to describe it, the scene was more like a stop-motion animation — a very low-frame-rate stop-motion animation.

"What was that just now?" Liu Yue’s words sounded like a dream-talk.

Nevertheless, her words made the bald head react.

He swung a fist at Lv Bai, and during the movement, his fist gradually blackened like ink and took on a metallic sheen.

Since he didn’t know what ability this was, Lv Bai had no intention of trying it out.

The scene froze again briefly, no flashing sword light was seen, and the last remaining member of the black suit trio met the same fate.

[Ding!]

[Points +2, Current points: 22, Current ranking 1/45]

Seeing this scene, Yan Zhiquan exchanged glances with several of his classmates.

Then, he clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Good, good, well done. We’ve been annoyed with those three guys for a long time. Now the purity of our team has improved. Isn’t it time to discuss how to deal with the Investigation Corps?"

"A bit impulsive, huh?"

Xiao Xueyin sighed but didn’t intend to pursue the matter further; instead, he turned and shouted, "The remaining friends, if you plan to settle accounts with the Investigation Corps, please step aside."

Lv Bai had no objections to this.

He stood still, quietly experiencing the feeling of using [Flash Time].

He silently used [Flash Time] consecutively a few more times, though the intervals were over a second apart, he could vaguely sense the danger hidden within this ability.

He didn’t even need to consciously count time before using it again.

Because the closer the intervals approached the one-second limit, the more he felt an indescribable terror.

...

Just as Lv Bai was exploring this ability, four more Death Fighters gathered around.

None of them paid attention to the fresh corpses on the ground; after all, it’s "death of fellow not self."

Finding a reason to settle accounts with the Investigation Corps was merely an official rationale; in essence, the remaining Death Fighters were huddling together for warmth.

The Death Fighters chatted for a bit, barely familiarizing themselves before getting to the main topic.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do?" A lone Death Fighter asked Yan Zhiquan.

This Death Fighter had a typical science-tech guy image, classic cropped hair, rectangular glasses, a skinny face, and tall figure, as if grown according to a formula.

Yan Zhiquan didn’t rush to speak, turning instead to Xiao Xueyin.

By this moment, the latter had arranged his thoughts, speaking fluently: "The fact is, after the Investigation Corps joined forces with the Ten Blades, their numbers hold an absolute advantage. So I don’t recommend a frontal assault, but we can try to weaken their overall strength first."

"So you mean to hide first?" Yan Zhiquan raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Xueyin hadn’t had the chance to reply before a rumbling noise interrupted.

Everyone present looked towards the source of the noise, it was a troop, hurrying over from the direction of the refugee placement.

Two armored vehicles painted in military camouflage led the way, followed by two rows of fully armed soldiers behind.

A rough count revealed about a hundred people.

Seeing this troop, Xiao Xueyin said, "Perhaps we should consider leveraging local forces."

The surroundings of the research center had turned to ruins following the explosions, and the gathering point of Lv Bai and the others was conspicuous.

Naturally, the troop hurriedly approached them, and the armed soldiers behind the armored vehicle quickly surrounded them.

"Squat down and put your hands on your head."

Zhou Zongming jumped out of the armored vehicle, immediately noticing Lv Bai amidst the crowd, waving him over: "You kid, come here."

"What’s wrong?" Lv Bai asked knowingly.

"You’re asking me what’s wrong?!"

Zhou Zongming glared at the ruins in front of him, his anger rising: "What the hell happened? Who caused the explosion?"

"Company Commander Zhou, a group attempted to overthrow the temporary refuge, the explosion in the research center, as well as your previous attack, were all done by them." Xiao Xueyin concisely answered in Lv Bai’s stead.

As it happens, Company Commander Zhou was initially going to gather troops to quell disturbances. But upon arriving at the temporary headquarters at the refuge, the explosion at the research center occurred.

Decisively, he quickly mobilized troops, rushing over in an emergency, otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived at the scene at this time.

Undoubtedly, with just a hundred or so personnel, "frontline" temporarily ceased offensive actions to muster enough manpower.
