Chapter 320: The Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl took away the soul of the S-rank anomaly

After checking the anomaly's injuries, the experts were still full of doubts.

They discussed for a long time, still showing no intention to retreat.

Lin Meng and Ye Xiu exchanged a glance, then slowly stepped forward a few steps and walked to beside the corpse.

Ye Xiu took advantage of the inattention, crouched down, and with one hand quickly felt the anomaly's arm.

As soon as Lin Meng steadied her stance, she felt the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl at her chest begin to rotate.

In a corner unseen by others, a wisp of soul floated out from the anomaly and drilled into the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl.

From outward appearance, the anomaly showed no change at all.

Just then, Ye Xiu also slowly stood up, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Lin Meng immediately sent a mental transmission to him.

"Got it?"

Ye Xiu subtly nodded at Lin Meng, having finished drawing energy.

A hint of excitement hid in his eyes; from this S-rank anomaly he had drawn a full twenty points!

Each increase of his attribute points greatly boosts his strength.

These full twenty free attribute points, if evenly distributed among five attributes, would raise each attribute by a full four points!

This is enough to let him jump directly from the early stage of the Control Realm to the middle stage!

You should know that in the Night Watch Organization, such strength is already elite-level; reaching the Mastery Realm above would put him on par with Wu Jiang.

Ye Xiu had only been in school for less than two weeks, while other classmates were still struggling in the Entry Realm to cultivate their qi and blood, mastering the basic methods to boost qi and blood; he had already touched the threshold of the elite level.

However, Ye Xiu's excitement was only momentary; he quickly calmed down.

After all, he is a Summoner; no matter how strong his own body, he ultimately cannot compare to other supernatural power users, and can only strengthen the magic beasts that follow him.

The special talent of adding points on a magic beast is not as effective as on the main body; it requires consuming a large number of points to let a magic beast break through.

Using these twenty points on a magic beast is like a drop in the bucket; his road is still long.

Lin Meng glanced at the crowd, seeing they would likely need a while longer to study before leaving, and since her time was limited, she said to Ye Xiu:

"Let's go, I'll send you back to school."

Ye Xiu nodded, feeling happy inside; the journey back would not be short, and finally he could spend a long time alone with his older sister.

But just then, Wu Jiang carefully carried Lin Meng's laser gun over, reluctantly returning it to her, and said:

"Miss Lin, this pistol's power is tremendous, stronger than any supernatural device I've ever seen."

Lin Meng's face showed nothing, but she was secretly shocked; really? She actually felt the laser gun wasn't as strong as claimed.

If Wu Jiang wasn't exaggerating, then the supernatural devices of this world aren't much either.

"By the way, Miss Lin, do you know this pistol's name? In the attack it even carried an electric attribute, and its aim was very high; I hardly aimed at all back then, yet I actually hit the brow!"

Speaking of this, Wu Jiang became somewhat excited.

Actually, he doesn't have much shooting experience; he awakened metal-type supernatural power, his self-strengthening is strong, making him more suited to melee, so he usually uses knives and swords more, and his proficiency with ranged shooting weapons is very low.

But when he held this pistol and truly pulled the trigger, Wu Jiang felt like a sharpshooter, and indeed he managed a headshot.

Seeing Wu Jiang's reluctance to part with the laser gun, Lin Meng curled the corner of her mouth and said:

"It's called the laser gun, and it indeed has an attribute that improves hit rate."

While speaking, Lin Meng had already put the gun away; without any visible operation, the gun vanished from her hand.

Wu Jiang watched the whole process, his heart startled again.

Such a method that can make an object disappear instantly, he had never seen before.

It is said that in this world there exists spatial-type supernatural power, which can grant a person an independent space; could it be that this extremely rare ability is Miss Lin's supernatural power?

If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense; Miss Lin said she's not good at combat, and if it truly is spatial-type with only storage function, then indeed it has little combat use.

Wu Jiang remembered that Bai Shen's supernatural power also had a spatial attribute, but it was more advanced, not merely simple storage.

Lin Meng did not hide her spatial ability; in this anomaly world, she could actually be more open, without needing to conceal too much.

"Team Captain Wu Jiang, I'll take Ye Xiu back to the city first; if we get a chance, we'll meet again."

As Lin Meng's words fell, she once again summoned the flying sword.

She poured spiritual power into the flying sword; the originally thin and long blade suddenly lengthened and widened, enough for two people to stand on.

Then she said to Ye Xiu:

"Get on up, I'll send you back to school."

Lin Meng was already standing on the sword's body; the sword hovered only a dozen centimeters above the ground, yet it left Ye Xiu astonished.

At this moment, the others also noticed the movement on Lin Meng's side.

They had been staring at that supernatural device; Wu Jiang returned it to Lin Meng, and many people were envious to the point of being unable to bear it.

But just then, a floating long sword attracted everyone's gaze.

"That sword can actually hover in midair—what kind of supernatural device could this be?"

"A flying-type supernatural device? Dragon Country has never seen one!"

"Not to mention here, even several powerful empires abroad don't have this kind of supernatural device, right?"

For a moment, everyone gathered around, wanting to carefully examine what principle allows this sword to hover.

Seeing so many people staring at his sister's belongings, Ye Xiu frowned slightly and hurriedly stepped forward.

During the earlier escape, he had already ridden this flying sword; back then his attention wasn't on it, but now thinking back, that flying feeling was truly exhilarating.

Seeing the two step onto it, the flying sword remained utterly still, making everyone even more astonished.

"Definitely a supernatural device, no doubt!"

"Miss Lin, may I ask if this sword is registered? How many people can it carry at most? What is its speed?"

Lin Meng understood their intention; they were merely wondering whether it could be lent out.

It's just a pity that the magic artifact really can't be lent out; only she can use it.

Then Lin Meng thought for a moment and said:

"Sorry, everyone, this flying sword is extremely special; only I can control it—no one else can use it, no matter who tries."

After Lin Meng finished speaking, she nodded at Wu Jiang as a signal, then immediately activated her spiritual power and flew the sword swiftly up into the sky.

The two turned into a streak of light and quickly disappeared before everyone's eyes.

For a moment, there was another round of exclamations and sighs.

They either felt envy or sigh, and even after Lin Meng's figure had long vanished from the sky, they kept their necks craned, unwilling to look away.

At this moment, the two senior officials of the Management Bureau couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss Lin definitely has other supernatural artifacts in her possession; that flying sword is truly heaven-defying—if only we could use it too……"

"It seems we must quickly report this to our superiors; Miss Lin is absolutely a rare talent, and we must befriend her."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiang secretly wondered what conditions would be needed to buy a supernatural artifact from Miss Lin.

If their team could exclusively possess a supernatural artifact, the squad's success rate on missions could increase severalfold.

Most importantly, the team members' mortality rate could also drop significantly.

Thinking of this, Wu Jiang planned to first approach Ye Xiu to gather information……
