Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Lu Xiao’s Mutant Ability (1)

Seconds later, Lu Xiao dashed around the corner with a swift roll.

Bang!

Just as Lu Xiao took cover around the corner, a thunderous boom echoed, and Chen Fei was sent flying backwards.

The metals amassed in front of Chen Fei were almost completely scattered.

Four Mutated Crystals coupled with one Mimic Mutation Crystal, totaling five.

The energy released by the simultaneous eruption of five Mutated Crystals was something even Chen Fei couldn’t withstand.

"Puh!" Chen Fei spat out a mouthful of blood.

In midair, Chen Fei exerted herself to mobilize her superpower, gathering the dispersed metals to form multiple metallic shields in front of her once more.

But these metallic shields couldn’t hold against the energy bursting forth from the Mimic Mutation Crystal at all.

One by one, they were torn apart and overwhelmed.

"Fuck, that’s intense!" Around the corner, Lu Xiao peeked out to take a glance.

Just one look was enough to send shivers down his arms and legs.

This Mimic Crystal was outrageous. It was one thing for it to erupt with energy on its own, but the fact that it could have other Mutated Crystals embedded into it and be freely manipulated was too much.

Isn’t this saying that as long as there’s enough Mutated Crystals, one could become absolutely invincible?

Just five Mutated Crystals could suppress Chen Fei; what about ten or twenty? The thought alone was terrifying.

Of course, thinking was one thing, but Lu Xiao’s actions were not the least bit slow.

The moment Chen Fei was blown away by the superpower, he had already burst forth.

After catching Chen Fei, Lu Xiao ran off again, only barely ducking back around the corner as the last of the metallic shields shattered.

As their target vanished, the assault from the Mimic Mutation Crystal abruptly ceased.

But Lu Xiao could clearly sense the temperature around them dropping even further.

Obviously, after he had plundered the energy from one Mutated Crystal, something had triggered a rule causing an increase in its energy level.

"Later... we should try not to come down here," Chen Fei panted heavily and said to Lu Xiao.

With her current strength, she couldn’t withstand a full-scale eruption of five Mutated Crystals.

It wouldn’t matter how much more metal she could gather.

In the face of this berserk energy, the metal might as well be made of paper.

"Fine by me," Lu Xiao nodded vigorously.

Now that the thing was attacking him as well, why should he go back down? To seek death?

Although he had tempered all his meridians once over, he was still Third-tier.

If Chen Fei couldn’t hold out, facing such pure energy attacks, he likely would be reduced to smithereens in a flash.

"Let’s head upstairs," Lu Xiao picked up Chen Fei horizontally and quickly left the basement.

In the living room, Lu Xiao examined Chen Fei’s condition and found two broken ribs.

For a Fourth-stage Mutant, such injuries were virtually equivalent to no injury at all.

"I’ll be fine after some rest. How about you? Did you develop a Mutant Ability?" Chen Fei queried with a bit of curiosity from the couch.

"Let’s check," Lu Xiao took a deep breath, his heart silently praying as he did so.

He hoped for some badass Mutant Ability—if he got something like a Guardian Bird, he’d probably pass out on the spot from frustration.

"Wait a second, I don’t have superpower in me right now, let me absorb some," Lu Xiao took out the Mutated Crystal Victoria had given him earlier.

After about two minutes of absorption, Lu Xiao tucked the Mutated Crystal back into the box.

Then, he released the superpower within his meridians.

Inside his meridians, the Inner Qi and superpower were still split into separate flows, not interfering with each other.

But unlike before, Lu Xiao felt as if his meridians were divided into two tracks, one for Inner Qi and one for superpower.

Additionally, in terms of capacity, even with the division, it was many times larger than before the tempering.

Kathy was right; the meridians had expanded to a staggering degree after being tempered.

"What is your Mutation Ability? I can’t feel it," Chen Fei asked after several seconds, looking at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao’s superpower apparently wasn’t Elemental, or she would have sensed it right away.

"I... don’t know either," Lu Xiao shook his head. After releasing his superpower, it seemed like nothing happened.

Could it be that he still hadn’t developed a Mutant Ability?

If that were the case, it would be bitterly disappointing.

"Let me try again," Lu Xiao concentrated his superpower and hurled it at the fruit bowl on the coffee table.

The fruit bowl was blasted to smithereens, sending debris all over the ceiling.

Chen Fei’s face was full of question marks. "Why are you using your superpower on the fruit bowl? The result would be the same with a blast like that, you have to try bit by bit."

Lu Xiao frowned. Try bit by bit? That would take forever.

"Here’s the Mutant Handbook, it has the methods," Chen Fei said, handing over a booklet to Lu Xiao.

The Mutant Handbook listed eight major categories, each with different methods of testing.

Since Lu Xiao’s Mutant Ability wasn’t Elemental, at most seven more tries would determine which major category it belonged to.

Knowing the category would make things much easier.

"Alright, I’ll go through them one by one," Lu Xiao flipped open the Mutant Handbook and began attempting the methods listed.
