Chapter 77: Superpower Experiment Lab

Ye Chen looked at their corpses, threw a fire, which quickly burned their corpses to ashes, leaving not even bone ash.

Ye Chen wouldn't bother with their affairs; after all, it was foreigners killing each other, what did it have to do with him?

Ye Chen walked out of that dark alley, and from the memories of the stars, he learned that superpowers were granted by an organization called the "Superpower Association".

Ye Chen sensed those superpower users, discovering that their souls were more or less deficient.

Therefore, using superpowers is not due to organ failure, but rather the loss of the soul; rather than saying it is lost, it is more like being sacrificed.

"Illusion-Breaking Heavenly Eye—open!"

Ye Chen's Illusion-Breaking Heavenly Eye on his forehead opened; after the muddy eye fell into a coma, the heavenly eye's position reappeared; the muddy eye and heavenly eye positions do not conflict, and their appearance depends on whom Ye Chen wants to use.

Now the muddy eye is in a coma, so he naturally uses the Illusion-Breaking Heavenly Eye.

At the moment his Illusion-Breaking Heavenly Eye opened, he saw countless tiny souls flying toward the sky; above the sky, there was a huge formation continuously absorbing the souls that flew up.

"What are the powerful beings outside Xingkong doing with these people's souls? Could it be that, like me, they each have a magical artifact that can absorb souls to enhance their own strength?"

Ye Chen thought to himself, aside from this possibility, given his current perspective, he could not think of any other.

Although he does not know what the powerful beings outside Xingkong are doing with these people's souls, his current goal is clear: to go to the Superpower Association and take a look.

This Superpower Association is hardly unrelated to the powerful beings outside Xingkong.

Ye Chen thought, and his figure suddenly vanished from the street; after he disappeared, the people on the street noticed nothing.

Just as Ye Chen was on his way to the Superpower Association, a phone call suddenly came in; he picked up his phone and saw it was Zhang Hai calling.

Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately frowned, "Could something have happened over there?"

Ye Chen spoke softly, then immediately answered the call.

The moment he answered the call, Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice came through.

"Brother Ye Chen! What are you doing?"

Ye Chen: "??"

"What's going on? I thought something had happened."

"I've been busy outside; what's up, Xiaoxiao?"

Ye Chen asked softly.

"I just haven't seen Brother Ye Chen for several days, thought he had left, so I called to ask what he's doing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This little girl."

"Nothing much, just been busy outside; I'll head back once I'm done."

"Oh, then will Brother Ye Chen come find me after he's done?"

"Yeah."

"Great!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao's tone was very excited and also very happy.

But Ye Chen suddenly realized a problem, "Does this little girl remember my number?!"

He brought this doubt and asked Zhang Xiaoxiao; upon hearing Ye Chen's question, she shook her head on the other end of the phone and then replied, "I can't remember Brother Ye Chen's phone number."

"Could it be that Zhang Hai is behind this?"

Ye Chen thought to himself, then asked Zhang Xiaoxiao again, "Then how did you call me?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's question, Zhang Xiaoxiao first gave a hehe laugh, then answered, "I recognize the two characters 'Ye Chen' on my dad's phone, so I called you."

"Huh?!"

"I specially went to learn it; how about it, Xiaoxiao is awesome, right?"

Ye Chen was utterly shocked upon hearing Zhang Xiaoxiao say she went to learn it.

"You can... do this?!"

Ye Chen was a bit dumbfounded.

At that moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice came through again.

"How about it, Brother Ye Chen, am I awesome?"

"Awesome!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he lifted his head to look at the Superpower Association before him and told Zhang Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'll send you a message after I'm done."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao somewhat amusingly said, "Brother Ye Chen, can we not type?"

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't read."

"..."

"Okay."

Ye Chen wearily said "okay," then hung up the phone.

"Looking at this, it's not Zhang Hai's doing; probably Zhang Xiaoxiao called on her own."

Ye Chen said, leaping up to the top of the building; his current flight altitude is several kilometers, so these few-hundred-meter-high buildings are trivial for him.

Upon reaching the rooftop, he punched through it with a single blow, simple and brutal.

The rooftop was empty; Ye Chen walked as if no one were there, and on the rooftop he saw many vessels containing strange people and beasts.

There were bear-headed human bodies, also hand-and-foot beast bodies, and "mermaids"; however, this mermaid Ye Chen could not appreciate, with shark teeth, octopus tentacles, still a human head.

Ye Chen felt a chill and nausea.

"A biological genetic engineering experiment?"

Ye Chen thought to himself, having looked over this place thoroughly.

Out of respect for biodiversity, Ye Chen set fire to the place, also not triggering the fire alarm, because the fire alarm had also been destroyed together, blocking the transmission of electrical signals, which was not difficult for him.

Ye Chen walked down, as he descended the stairs, a mysterious pressure gradually enveloped him; it was not from a strong person, but from a formation; the formation below was blocking his entry, but it was obvious that the person who set up the formation was not proficient in formations, and the formation they set up was extremely crude.

Ye Chen easily broke the formation's setup, and did not alert the person who set it up, but if it had been set up by those powerful beings outside Xingkong, it is very likely that the moment he tried to break the formation, he would be sensed.

Ye Chen walked down step by step, and as he went deeper, the number of scientific personnel appearing gradually increased.

"Andexi, how is the progress?"

An old man over fifty asked the young person beside him.

"Teacher Weilian, the progress is going smoothly; we will soon be able to develop another superpower."

Weilian listened, nodded slightly, and was satisfied with Andexi's answer.

"What superpower is this time?"

Weilian asked.

"It can make the body's skin like metal for a short time, granting extremely strong defensive power."

"Not bad; this way we can have the power to fight those cultivators."

"I'm afraid that won't work, Teacher Weilian."

Weilian, hearing Andexi's words, was utterly confused and said: "Our experiment is meant to surpass those cultivators; our results are also excellent, we have achieved great success, why wouldn't it work?"

"Although we have achieved great success in this research, Teacher, you seem to have forgotten a problem: they are constantly improving, and their growth rate is far... much faster than ours."

After Andexi finished speaking, Weilian fell silent; he wasn't unaware of this situation, he just didn't want to admit it.

"Teacher, they... have God!"

After hearing his words, Weilian finally couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
