Chapter 562: Chapter 566: Metamorphosis_1

Su Xiaoxi didn’t speak, she stood silently for a moment before quietly walking away.

The beach.

About a few minutes later, Yang Gang broke away from Zhang Miao’s embrace, forcing a smile: "Sister Miao, I’m alright, I just need some time alone."

"Okay." Zhang Miao didn’t say anything, simply stood up: "Go rest if you’re tired."

"Mm."

Zhang Miao opened her mouth as if to speak, yet she ultimately left in silence without saying anything.

Yang Gang stayed on the beach for nearly two more hours, it was already eight o’clock in Crow Feather Island time.

Yang Gang stood up and left the beach. Instead of going back to the mountaintop villa, he went straight to Old Wright, Gu Xiaorou’s father. He ’promised’ Gu Xiaorou that he would cure her father’s illness.

When he arrived at Old Wright’s private sanitarium, the faint sound of crying could be heard from inside.

Yang Gang’s heart tightened, and he quickly hastened his pace, eventually breaking into a full-on sprint.

When he rushed into the sanitarium, Yang Gang nearly collided with someone.

"Yang Gang?"

It was Carmen, Xiaorou’s second brother.

Yang Gang looked at Carmen, who had a white mourning cloth wrapped around his head, trembled, "Carmen, Uncle Wright he..

"Passed away, two hours ago."

Thump!

Yang Gang fell to his knees, his head lowered, hands tightly clenched.

"I, ultimately, couldn’t help Xiaorou in any way.. "

Carmen looked at Yang Gang’s ashen face in shock, quickly helped him up, and said; "Yang Gang, don’t take it too hard. My dad passed away peacefully.."

"I could have cured him, I could have!" Yang Gang suddenly exclaimed, overcome with emotion.

Carmen was silent, after a moment, he let out a deep sigh: "It’s hopeless. Because my father had completely lost the will to live. Strictly speaking, ever since my aunt, oh, that is Xiaorou’s mother, passed away, my father’s soul had left him. He once said that his greatest expectation in life was to meet my aunt in the underworld. A person unwilling to ’live’ on, even if we could cure all his diseases, he would just be a walking corpse, which might be even crueler. Letting him leave peacefully like this, perhaps, is the greatest mercy."

..

Yang Gang had no idea when he left Old Wright’s place. When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing on a secluded beach.

He looked at the endless sea, an intense emotion welled up in his heart, he faced the sea and yelled: "Aaaaahhh!!!"

Then he collapsed, kneeling on the beach.

Yang Gang felt as if his soul had been completely sucked out, reminiscing about his last twenty years of life, it was nothing but a joke.

He vowed to protect Su Xiaoxi, protect Gu Xiaorou, and in the end, he couldn’t protect anyone, even ended up losing Gu Xiaorou, the woman who was his emotional anchor.

For a moment, it felt like many things rushed into his mind.

All the promises he made, all the vows, seemed to be mocking him, mocking his ineptitude, mocking his naivety.

Yang Gang felt as if his head was about explode, he held his head, rolled around on the beach, and let out a painful cry.

Just then, a sudden surge of water dragon burst from the calm sea, smashing directly onto Yang Gang. The cold seawater brought a moment of clarity in Yang Gang’s consciousness.

Then, the figure of Li Qing appeared on the beach. He ran to Yang Gang’s side, helping him up: "Hey, Yang Gang, are you okay?"

Yang Gang’s listless eyes slowly regained their gloss. He sat on the beach, fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Elder Li, are Ice Series Superpowers considered special superpowers?"

"Uh, no. Ice Series Superpowers are quite common, but only I can truly maximize its potential." Li Qing said with a bit of narcissism.

He paused and curiously asked, "Why do you ask?"

Yang Gang shook his head, "I’m not very knowledgeable about this area, just curious."

"Oh."

Yang Gang fell silent for a brief moment, before suddenly asking again, "Elder Li, could I borrow some blood?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, it’s like this. I’ve been having frequent nightmares recently, always about evil spirits showing up. A fortune teller told me that I can use strong people’s blood to make a talisman for warding off evil spirits." Yang Gang explained.

"Nonsense!"

"How do we know if it will work unless we try. Just lend me a little blood." Yang Gang pleaded pitifully to Li Qing.

Li Qing, feeling a shiver from Yang Gang’s gaze, had no choice but to say, "Oh, alright, fine, I admit defeat to you. The belief in superstitions like ghosts and gods amongst young people these days is really astounding."

With a gesture, he made a small ice stinger and pierced his finger with it.

Yang Gang then collected Li Qing’s blood in a plastic bag.

"Is this enough?" Li Qing asked.

"Mm, thank you."

"So, we’re done here?" Li Qing asked again.

"Yes, Elder Li, you may go ahead with your other matters."

Li Qing nodded: "Old Wright died today, I’m going to pay him a visit."

After Li Qing left, Yang Gang took out the bag filled with Li Qing’s blood, pondered deeply, lost in thought.

Just moments ago, it felt like his head was about to explode, but when he came to, he found that his consciousness had expanded by a whole factor of two!

The expansion of consciousness meant that he had the opportunity to absorb a new special ability. Moreover, there was quite a bit of spare room left – although he still couldn’t absorb boss-level superpowers like Gong Shuiwei’s [Black Hole Space] or Sister Miao’s [Rule Space], he should have no problem absorbing more common superpowers like Ice Series.

His own combat power was currently extremely weak, primarily because he did not have any offensive superpowers. If he could successfully absorb Li Qing’s Ice Series Superpowers, his combat power would significantly improve.

Moreover, although Ice Series Superpowers are relatively common, their power is not to be underestimated. Li Qing’s feat of single-handedly freezing thousands of miles of sea surface was nothing short of terrifying.

Yang Gang refocused his attention on the blood-filled plastic bag in front of him, thinking to himself, "I should hurry and absorb it while the blood is still fresh."

He then bit his own finger and poured Li Qing’s blood onto his own wound.

Next, in an instant, the cells in Yang Gang’s body began to boil intensely, more intensely than ever before.

It felt like his entire body was on fire, and even jumping into icy sea water did no help.

After about half an hour, the heat sensation finally calmed down.

Through introspection, Yang Gang could clearly see a newly fused cell emerging in his heart. Just like other newly fused cells, this new cell maintained independence while also being connected to Yang Gang’s original cells.

This new fused cell contained Ice Series Superpowers.

After checking his consciousness space, Yang Gang couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

Just right!

The newly expanded conscious space was just enough to absorb the fusion of Ice Series Superpowers.

Thinking about the part of consciousness space that had just been expanded, Yang Gang couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

Generally speaking, enhancing one’s spiritual power is related to many things, and one of them is the body’s tolerance to pain. The greater the intensity of the pain one can endure, the stronger his spiritual power will be. For instance, profound sadness or joy in emotional experiences.

Profound emotional experiences can quickly increase the upper limit of spiritual power and expand consciousness space, but the heart-wrenching pain is something that Yang Gang does not want to experience again.

It was a form of torture and torment on the soul.

But, it was also a metamorphosis and maturation of the soul.

After calming his emotions, he stood up, looked at the sea in front of him, and with a slight movement of his heart, a small water dragon about ten centimeters in diameter immediately burst out of the sea; with another movement of his heart, the water dragon instantly turned into an ice stinger, violently piercing a tree on the beach, cutting it clean in half at its stem.

Yang Gang couldn’t help but be amazed, that was indeed powerful.

He later attempted to extract moisture from the surrounding air to turn it into ice, but he failed.

"As I thought, there’s still a long way to go to reach Li Qing’s level."

After practicing his newly acquired Ice Series Superpowers for a short while, Yang Gang stopped.

He then said goodbye to Su Xiaoxi and Zhang Miao, planning to return to Hangcheng.

Su Xiaoxi had decided to stay with the Xiao family and help her parents through their difficult times; Zhang Miao was planning to return to Hangcheng after a few days.

As Crow Feather Island did not have a large airport, Yang Gang first needed to catch a boat to Australia, then take a direct flight to Hangcheng.

Somewhere on Crow Feather Island.

"Yang Gang has left Crow Feather Island by boat. He’s as good as dead. My people have already laid an ambush on the boat arranged by the Xiao Family," said a man on the phone, the same middle-aged man who had been publicly humiliated by Yang Gang at the Xiao family banquet.

"Hmm, will it really be that easy?" A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Rest assured. Although Yang Gang is also a superpower user, his superpower is the auxiliary [Telekinesis]. This is basically a useless ability that has no use in combat between superpower users. He’s as good as dead!"
