Chapter 25: Supernatural Ability Reconstruction

The afterglow of the setting sun had not yet completely faded, but the smell of smoke still permeated the air.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, looking at the city ruins that seemed to have been gnawed by a giant beast, ripples appearing on the calm lake of their hearts.

They thought that after this black-robed man fell, the next step would be a lying-down victory, but they didn't expect this to be the real hard mode.

"This... it's just like being ransacked by a demolition team." Ji Chen looked around and said in a slightly self-deprecating tone.

The buildings that once towered into the clouds were now only broken walls, and the road was pitted, as if telling the tragedy of the great battle just now.

He reached out, wanting to grab something, but his fingertips touched only rough gravel.

Ceng Yue was still that ice-mountain beauty, but her slightly frowned brows betrayed a hint of imperceptible worry in her heart.

Her cold eyes scanned the surroundings, as if evaluating the difficulty of reconstruction.

"It's much worse than imagined." She was sparing of words, but hit the nail on the head regarding the cruelty of reality.

The horn of reconstruction sounded, but the resource problem quickly taught the two a lesson.

It was like playing a game, working hard to push the BOSS, only to find the backpack empty, with nothing dropped.

The major factions of the Supernatural World, in order to compete for the few reconstruction resources, were like wild wolves waiting to be fed, beginning to bare their fangs.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue tried to mediate, but all parties refused to give an inch, arguing endlessly, as if vegetable market aunties were grabbing discounted vegetables, not giving an inch, none of them convinced by the others.

Ji Chen's throat was almost smoking, and Ceng Yue rarely showed an impatient look.

"Can you have some perspective? Is now the time for infighting? When the ruins become high-rises, everyone will have soup to drink!" Ji Chen couldn't help but raise his voice, trying to wake up these guys who were caught in infighting.

"Heh, sounds nice, who knows if you want to take the opportunity to monopolize resources?" A sharp and mean voice came from the crowd, carrying full of doubt and hostility.

This sentence was like a fuse, instantly igniting the tense atmosphere at the scene, and everyone looked at Ji Chen and Ceng Yue with suspicious eyes.

The atmosphere that was originally quite cooperative instantly dropped to freezing point.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood like they were in the center of a storm, feeling the pressure from all directions, and a suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air.

Just then, Ceng Yue suddenly looked into the distance. A hint of imperceptible light seemed to flash in her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, and then she turned to look at Ji Chen and said slowly: "Have you noticed..."

Her words were not finished, and suddenly stopped abruptly.

Ji Chen kept running among various factions, trying to mediate the contradictions between them.

His throat was already hoarse, but the effect was minimal.

In the surrounding crowd, voices of doubt and mockery kept coming, as if he had become the scapegoat in everyone's eyes.

"Ji Chen, you might as well tell us, did you divide it privately long ago, just waiting for us to fight until our heads are broken?" A middle-aged man in a black robe sneered, his...

Ji Chen felt his heart tighten, and grievance and anger gradually surged in his heart.

He shook his head with a bitter smile, trying to explain, but his voice became even weaker: "We... we really have no selfish motives, just for everyone's good."

Ceng Yue stood aside, looking at Ji Chen's tired and helpless appearance, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She couldn't help but step forward, scanning the crowd with those cold eyes, her voice still indifferent, but carrying an unquestionable firmness: "If you still have a little reason, you should believe him. Ji Chen has always been thinking for everyone."

However, Ceng Yue's words did not have much effect, but instead made the scene even more chaotic.

Voices of doubt and mockery rose and fell, surging like a tide.

Ji Chen felt unprecedentedly isolated and helpless. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood.

Just then, Ceng Yue suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.

Her gaze focused into the distance, where it was the edge of a ruin, and something seemed to be flickering faintly.

She gently pulled Ji Chen's hand, signaling him to look there.

"Have you noticed..." Ceng Yue's voice carried a hint of surprise, light shining in her eyes, as if she saw the dawn of hope.

Ji Chen followed her gaze and looked over, only to see a massive stone at the edge of the ruins, with a faint blue light seeping out from the cracks in the stone.

He immediately understood Ceng Yue's meaning, and his heart felt inexplicably excited.

"This... what is this?" Ji Chen asked in a low voice, his heart accelerating.

The two walked quickly toward the stone block, and the surrounding doubts and quarrels drifted away.

When they approached the stone block, they discovered that it was a hidden Supernatural Ability resource treasury, filled with various precious Supernatural Ability energy sources.

"This is simply a miracle!" Ji Chen said in disbelief, light shining in his eyes.

Ceng Yue also showed a rare smile, and the two's hands were tightly held together.

Just then, the crowd in the distance seemed to notice the movement on their side and cast surprised and curious gazes.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with firmness.

"Ji Chen, let's work together to make everything better." Ceng Yue said softly, her voice carrying unprecedented tenderness.

Ji Chen nodded and said firmly: "Let's work together to distribute everything fairly."

The two's figures stretched in the setting sun, and the air was filled with the smell of hope.

Ji Chen didn't say a word and directly opened the "Resource Sharing Conference."

He distributed the resources in the treasury according to the number of people and contributions of each faction, without hiding anything, without bias, simply a living fair scale, not cheating the old or the young.

This operation made the guys who were originally full of doubts about him instantly become fans, expressing "Brother Chen is mighty," "Brother Chen is awesome."

Especially Ceng Yue, looking at Ji Chen's majestic back, little stars almost popped out of her eyes, simply a large-scale fan-gathering scene.

Ceng Yue's ice-mountain face that hadn't melted for ten thousand years actually melted!

She looked at Ji Chen, her gaze so gentle it could squeeze out water, simply a large-scale "True Fragrance" scene.

Ji Chen also felt this thick love, feeling beautiful in his heart, as sweet as eating honey.

The surrounding Ability Users were caught off guard and stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, but actually felt...

Still quite sweet?

However, good times didn't last long, and there were always some blind guys who wanted to make trouble.

Night fell, and a group of people in black appeared like ghosts, launching a fierce attack on the resource treasury.

"Want to grab our resources? No way!" Ji Chen roared and instantly entered the battle state.

Ceng Yue did not show weakness either, her Frost Supernatural Ability fully opened, freezing the enemies into ice sculptures.

The surrounding Ability Users, seeing the two big bosses so brave, also ignited their fighting spirit and joined the battle.

The battle was extremely fierce, with shouts and explosions deafening.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue cooperated tacitly, like two sharp knives, weaving back and forth in the enemy formation.

They were not only powerful but also had superb tactics, always able to turn danger into safety and lead everyone to reverse the battle situation.

Finally, this group of people in black was beaten to a pulp and fled in panic.

After the battle, the reconstruction work of the Supernatural World proceeded smoothly.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's leadership position was more consolidated, becoming heroes in everyone's hearts.

But Ji Chen always felt that things were not that simple. He felt vaguely that a greater conspiracy seemed to be hidden behind this...

"Those people in black, well-trained, not like ordinary rabble..." Ji Chen muttered to himself. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
