Ch 139: True Ability
The Team Members all knew their Captain’s intuition was very reliable, and at this moment, they all became vigilant, their gazes nervously scanning their surroundings.
Could it be that the other side had left people to ambush them?
“We can’t chase any further; something’s not right.”
The Squad Captain said in a low voice. His right eye kept twitching. This premonition had never been wrong before, and it was definitely dangerous now.
“Click!”
Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. The Yan City Squad’s few members instantly changed their expressions; they all genuinely felt a death threat.
“Run!” the Squad Captain yelled.
The Team Members immediately scattered in different directions, attempting to evade the impending unknown attack.
“Buzz!”
A beam of Electric Light descended from the sky, accompanied by a thunderbolt, like divine punishment, striking directly at the Squad’s location.
The Squad Captain looked up at the Electric Light, his eyes full of fear. He could clearly realize that this attack was aimed at him.
The Electric Light’s speed was too fast; he couldn’t dodge it.
“No!” The Squad Captain let out a final roar, but his voice was swallowed by the ensuing thunder.
“Crack!”
The Electric Light accurately pierced through the Squad Captain’s chest. His body was instantly electrocuted by the high-voltage Electric Current of the thunderbolt, instantly turning into a lump of charcoal.
The surrounding rainwater became an excellent conductor for the Electric Current. The terrifying Electric Current rapidly spread through the rainwater, forming a lethal electric net.
“Ah!” The other four Team Members simultaneously let out shrill screams, then could no longer make any sound. Their bodies twitched under the effect of the Electric Current.
As wisps of Flame appeared on their bodies, they finally fell into the rainwater, their bodies completely charred and motionless.
“One arrow hit five people!”
Fu Xiyao’s eyes widened, incredulously reporting the situation from afar.
“Amazing.”
Li Yu’s expression and reaction were very calm after hearing the result:
“It’s alright.”
Although this arrow’s Power was extremely strong, instantly killing five Awakeners.
Even without this Thunder and Lightning-type Super Psionic Ability, he could have done the same with his previous Strength.
Li Yu still longed to be like other Super Espers, to Elementalize himself and fly in the sky.
He mainly wanted to try it; whether he could fly or not didn’t really matter.
However, he had now completed his advancement, and it seemed his Super Psionic Ability would remain as it is.
Li Yu controlled the Cyclone, and the Electric-form Crossbow in his hand gradually returned to its normal form.
“Let’s go; maybe Yan City will send more people.”
“Okay.”
Li Yu was about to leave with Fu Xiyao when he suddenly seemed to sense something and froze.
Although the Electric Eel King’s remaining Electric Energy had been depleted, he could still clearly feel the existence of countless Water Elemental Energy around him.
On second thought, it was quite reasonable; after all, in this world, water was the most abundant thing.
“Could it be…”
Li Yu’s heart stirred, a bold guess appearing in his mind. He immediately activated the Cyclone again and began to fully absorb the surrounding Water Energy.
Soon, a large area’s Water Elemental Energy gathered on the Crossbow, and the Crossbow’s form changed again.
“Whoosh.”
Accompanied by the sound of waves from the Crossbow, the Crossbow began to gradually turn into blue-white water droplets. The Water Element flowed on the bow, forming a thin film of water.
The Water Energy inside flowed rapidly, as if a rushing river was circulating inside the bow.
The Crossbow’s form became softer, completely formed naturally by the traces of water flow, instantly transforming into a Water Elemental Form.
Li Yu’s eyes lit up: “So that’s how it is!”
The Nightmare Beast on the Crossbow widened its eyes again. It could feel a cool stream of water flowing through its entire body.
“How is this possible!” The Nightmare Beast shouted incredulously in its heart.
It had never seen a Super Esper possessing two Elemental Powers.
Li Yu gripped the Water Elementalized Crossbow. The cool Power flowed from the Crossbow to his arm and then slowly to his entire body.
The surrounding Water Element seemed to have formed a slight connection with him.
Li Yu tried moving a few steps. His body became lighter and more agile in the rainwater, and the rainwater was no longer an obstacle to his movements.
Fu Xiyao immediately noticed Li Yu’s difference.
“Li Yu, I feel like you…” Fu Xiyao tried to describe this wonderful feeling but couldn’t find the right words for a moment.
“You seem to have become like water.”
Fu Xiyao tried to reach out, lightly tapping in the air. A little water actually sputtered on Li Yu’s Water-form Crossbow.
She could clearly sense the strong Water Element on Li Yu.
Even without the surrounding rainwater, she could clearly know Li Yu and the Crossbow’s location.
Within Fu Xiyao’s ability range, Li Yu and the Crossbow seemed to be made entirely of water, unusually conspicuous.
Seeing Fu Xiyao’s surprised little eyes, Li Yu was about to speak when the Crossbow in his hand suddenly shook violently.
Looking down, the eyeball on the Crossbow frantically moved up and down, seeming eager to speak.
Li Yu curiously removed the shielding; the Nightmare Beast’s voice instantly entered his mind.
“Good, very good!”
“I admit I underestimated you before. Your Psionic Ability is indeed different from others.”
“I’ll give you a chance. If you’re willing to let me go and be reborn, I can reluctantly help you. After all, I am…”
Before the Nightmare Beast could finish, Li Yu shielded its voice again. He didn’t have time to listen to this big-eyed creature boast.
The big eyes on the Crossbow struggled even harder, as if there was a feeling of discomfort from having its words interrupted mid-sentence.
【Alloy Crossbow LV16（Water Enhancement）】
【Arrow Enchantment: Water】
【Unlocked Skill: Water Prison】
“So that’s it.”
Looking at the Water Enhancement Crossbow, Li Yu suddenly understood the key.
“No matter what kind of Elementalization, the weapon isn’t my Super Psionic Ability,”
Li Yu closed his eyes, carefully feeling. His Cyclone continuously absorbed the surrounding Energy, with the Water Element content being particularly high.
“My Super Psionic Ability is not weapon Elementalization but the Cyclone’s utilization of Elemental Energy in the environment!”
“No matter what type of Element is in the environment, I can utilize it.”
The surrounding Water Element was very rich, and the Crossbow’s consumption to maintain Elementalization was minimal.
If Li Yu wanted to, he could even keep the Crossbow in Water Elemental Form indefinitely.
The only difference between him and other Super Espers was that he couldn’t fly in the air.
Li Yu comforted himself in his heart; with this multi-elemental Super Psionic Ability, he didn’t need to fly.
Controlling the Cyclone, he retracted the Elemental Form, and the Crossbow quickly returned to normal.
Only then did he notice the Jar, which had been upgraded to level ten in one go before the advancement.
Looking at the Jar’s Attribute, Li Yu was speechless. How good it would have been if so many Experience Points had been used on his Main Weapon.
But now it was too late; who told him to switch the Experience to the Jar and forget to switch it back.
Li Yu took out the Jar and found that its capacity Space had indeed reached 100, a full ten cubic meters.
Well, now he could store anything.
Li Yu helplessly switched the Experience target back to the Main Weapon bar and turned to Fu Xiyao, saying:
“Let’s go back to Qingcheng.”
“Mm.”
The two quickly packed up, mounted their Black Horse, and sped away like arrows from a crossbow.
The Black Horse’s four hooves galloped continuously, with a trace of Electric Light flashing on its hooves, its speed as fast as a gale.
Xiao Hei’s stamina seemed to have been greatly improved. Now, carrying both Li Yu and Fu Xiyao, it still ran easily and freely, completely unlike its previous strenuous state. Its speed was also incomparable to before.
