Chapter 672: Chapter 662: New Human

Judging from the aura coming off Long Suo, his strength was certainly extraordinary; among those present, probably only Qiao Feiya could definitely suppress him, while the others were somewhat weaker than he was.

Hmm... Wen Wen, who had advanced to Calamity Level, should also be stronger than him.

However, what concerned Wen Wen wasn’t this cool guy’s strength, but the fact he was staring intently at Qiao Feiya, his gaze filled with both admiration and combativeness, while his looks at Wen Wen contained five parts anger and five parts envy.

It seemed that Mr. Long Suo had a secret crush on Qiao Feiya, and Wen Wen’s ease in chatting and laughing next to her had ignited his jealousy.

Fortunately, Long Suo wasn’t a fool lacking common sense; he didn’t look for trouble with Wen Wen because of this. Otherwise, Wen Wen might have been forced to confront him and then play out a scene of showing off and slapping faces, a scenario that made Wen Wen’s skin crawl even thinking about it.

Even though he hadn’t looked for trouble, Wen Wen still felt uncomfortable under his relentless gaze, to the point even the food in his mouth lost its flavor.

Whenever Wen Wen looked at him, he would turn his head away, but as soon as he retracted his gaze, Long Suo would stare at Wen Wen unblinkingly, which was quite annoying.

But soon, Wen Wen was no longer troubled by Long Suo, for he saw two familiar figures entering the side hall, causing his brows to instantly furrow.

One was Li Dazhuang’s good brother Tao Wen, and the other was Song Ling, who had masterminded the ’Assimilation Town’ incident!

Wen Wen put down his chopsticks and walked up to them, asking, "What are you two doing here?"

Tao Wen was a somewhat incomplete superpower user; what business did the Association have sending him to a Demon Hunter exchange?

As for Song Ling... Although Wen Wen had fought alongside him, it didn’t change the fact that in Wen Wen’s heart, Song Ling was an undeniable troublemaker.

Song Ling smiled and said to Wen Wen, "Don’t be so nervous, I’ve reinstated my position as a Demon Hunter, and now we are colleagues, plus, we are both set to attend the exchange."

Wen Wen coldly said, "Right now, I’m totally in the dark, so you might as well clarify things for me."

"Tch, it seems you must have answers, then come with me."

Song Ling led Wen Wen and Tao Wen to a meeting room in Extreme Flavor Tower, then he asked Wen Wen, "What do you think of Tao Wen’s strength?"

Wen Wen glanced at him and said, "Calamity Level Monster standard, nothing noteworthy."

Song Ling asked meaningfully, "Do you still remember what his strength was like at the end of the Assimilation Town incident?"

Wen Wen thought for a moment and answered, "Back then, he was just an ordinary person, he must have awakened his Supernatural Power recently."

Song Ling, staring into Wen Wen’s eyes, stated emphatically, "He has never awakened any Supernatural Power!"

"That’s impossible, he clearly has Calamity Level strength..." Wen Wen frowned.

"Yes, he has Calamity Level strength, but he is neither a superpower user nor a modified human. That’s why I can freely appear before you."

Wen Wen thoughtfully sized up Tao Wen, then said to Song Ling, "Tell me everything you can."

"I won’t say now, you’ll find out eventually. Do you remember the hybrids of humans and monsters I created in Assimilation Town?"

"Of course, you said you wanted to create your kin, didn’t you?" Wen Wen replied.

Song Ling nodded and said, "Yes, the hybrids I created are now living peacefully on an isolated island, but that’s not the point. The point is this young man."

"He didn’t inherit the monster traits, but two months after returning home, he discovered he had new abilities. According to the Hunters Association’s investigation, that ability isn’t Supernatural Power, but a mix of his Mental Strength and Physical Strength."

"That strength, with proper training, can keep getting stronger, although it cannot be compared to Supernatural Power in any aspect, but it’s a power that ordinary people can also possess. Furthermore, it’s estimated that his offspring will inherit the same Talent."

Wen Wen instinctively straightened his body; if everything Song Ling said was true, it could indeed be a discovery capable of changing the world.

Song Ling, slightly fanatical, said to Wen Wen, "If we, with our great abilities, are called superpower users, I call this kid a ’New Human’!"

"New Human..." Wen Wen mulled over these words, feeling as if he was at the turning point of a historical tide.

Under Song Ling’s gesture, Tao Wen stretched out his hand, and Wen Wen could clearly feel an invisible force in it.

"Come on, hit me."

Tao Wen looked at Song Ling, then channeled that force into Wen Wen’s body.

Wen Wen closed his eyes and carefully sensed the nature of the force for a while before he understood its properties.

The first characteristic was that it was mild, gentle enough that even ordinary human bodies could withstand this force. The second characteristic was nourishing; cells that the force flowed through became slightly more active. If one had enough of this force in one’s body, it could make the body stronger and potentially elongate life.

"This power is indeed splendid, so what do you plan to do next?" Wen Wen asked.

Song Ling naturally said, "Of course, to thoroughly investigate what exactly happened to this kid, and then try to replicate the same traits across the entire Federation."

"Although this power, compared to superpower users, is still too weak, but giving ordinary people power is a change from nothing to something."

"Think about it, if every single person in the Federation could possess the same traits as this kid, possess some ability to defend themselves, would we still need to be as fearful of the monsters from the Inner World, would we need to keep blocking the news like this?"

"No need! You understand what this means, right?"

Wen Wen nodded, indicating he understood Song Ling’s words; if everyone had power, at least some small monsters could be eradicated just with the people’s strength, and in the face of major calamities, they would have more resilience, not perishing wholesale.

And constantly altering the public’s memory was ultimately a desperate measure. If it was possible not to hide the situation from the public, it would allow concentrating efforts on major actions, and mobilize the Federation’s resources more efficiently.

The current situation was akin to a group of Hunters protecting a piece of tofu surrounded by ferocious beasts; if Song Ling’s claims were realized, that piece of tofu would turn into a brick, providing much relief to the Hunters.

Wen Wen earnestly asked, "Are you sure you can grant everyone abilities like Tao Wen’s?"

Song Ling shook his head and started somewhat dishearteningly, "I’m not sure, no one dares to be sure, and even if we truly made a breakthrough, deploying it realistically would probably take decades."

Then Song Ling’s expression became passionate: "But even so, I am willing to dedicate my life to this cause; I want to personally usher in an era for New Humans and superpower users!"
