Chapter 228: Shackles of Morality

Soaring recklessly in the high sky using the force field.

He discovered that his strength had actually increased slightly.

Silently sensing the growth of power within his body, in this short time, it had probably increased by about half a ton.

Shortly after, he found the corresponding passage in the ancient book:

'It is because I used my abilities without any scruples that my mind felt extremely pleased; thus, after the mind grew, it acted upon the body, causing strength to increase in sync.'

Recalling the content of the ancient book, Fang Can remembered his answer to Instructor Yang Lie during the very first class he attended back then:

'To achieve unimpeded thoughts, if anyone dares to disobey me, I will leave not a single soul from their entire family, not even my own father; I will absolutely not be soft-handed. If I want something, I buy it; if I can't afford it, I snatch it; if I can't snatch it, I cheat and swindle; if I can't steal it, I poison or assassinate. The main principle is to be lawless.'

Following this set of actions, as long as one isn't killed by the collective fire of the world, sooner or later one will surely become an unparalleled expert.

'So...' Fang Can looked at his own hands: 'The more pleasure I have from now on, the more I follow my heart, the faster my martial arts progress?'

'Should I... try it next...' Fang Can looked at his own hands, as if a devil was whispering in his ear:

'Let the heart move with the will; just follow desires and thoughts. Abandon the shackles of morality from now on, act without scruples, and immediately become a Buddha or an Ancestor.'

While pondering, Fang Can had already descended into City F. As he slowed down and descended slowly from the high sky, he was immediately met with the attention of everyone around.

After all, flight is a clear sign of a superpowered individual. Seeing a superpowered individual, rarely seen in reality, land directly on the street naturally drew the attention of the surroundings.

But these people dared neither approach nor leave; they all froze stiffly in place, because when facing a superpowered individual, whatever you actively do is wrong.

If you leave, does that mean you despise the superpowered individual? You deserve death!

Approach? What if the superpowered individual likes solitude? Aren't you disturbing the superpowered my lord?

So, amidst hesitation, these people quickly chose the most correct response.

On the street, these superpowered individuals faced Fang Can's direction, first slowly raising their hands high, their eyes filled with deep, grateful affection.

Then, they jumped up excitedly.

While jumping, they clapped happily, producing loud clapping sounds.

Fang Can, who was deep in thought, was pulled back to reality by the surrounding applause.

Looking at the sight of men and women on the entire street clapping, his eyebrows furrowed slightly: 'A group of NPCs.'

Immediately, a desire for destruction surged from the bottom of his heart, followed by the AT force field radiating from the formless void to envelop the surrounding crowd.

From now on, if Fang Can exerts just a little force, these guys on the scene, who are like NPCs, will instantly turn into blood flowers.

At the same time, desire tempted Fang Can to continue transgressing next, not to follow rules and regulations, to pick out a good-looking one from these people, and to directly favor them on the street.

'Wrap the favored woman in the force field, then sprint through the city at supersonic speed; while doing it, rely on the sonic boom to destroy the entire city. You've never done this before, right? Want to experience it once?'

'I am a superpowered individual, and a First Turn at that. In New Nation, I can do whatever pleases me. Even if I destroy the city, Ji Donglai won't do anything to me. So let's use this city as a bed and have an orgy!'

In Fang Can's sea of consciousness, the fireball originally formed by order now burned even more fiercely, constantly churning.

As an internal manifestation of Fang Can's true nature, his thoughts, spirit, and personality are all expressed on this star.

At this moment, part of the fireworks within it gradually shifted from golden yellow to a deep, gloomy blood red, showing vague signs of degradation.

But in the next instant, the golden flames representing morality and order once again gained the upper hand, and Fang Can immediately retracted the released force field.

'I've lost my mind; I'm living well, yet thinking of these things.' Fang Can lightly tapped his own skull, wondering if he had become stupid from practicing martial arts recently.

'Martial arts emphasize carrying out the self. Isn't letting desire and the self swell up leading to the evil path? If reason cannot be reined in at the end, wouldn't that be tragic?'

Fang Can internally restrained himself, realizing he had almost taken a step onto the evil path just now.

However, looking at the pedestrians around him performing a respectful salute, Fang Can roughly understood why superpowered individuals were so united.

When they were ordinary people, since no one knew who would awaken as a superpowered individual, Ji Donglai shaped superpowered individuals as gods throughout New Nation.

Some people would directly worship and long for the gods; if they suddenly transformed into superpowered individuals next, they would not only have high status but could also work alongside the gods, which would likely mean they would integrate into the rentier class at lightspeed.

And the commoners of the entire New Nation, in Ji Donglai's eyes, were human meat machines for superpowered individuals, after all, no one knew where or from what identity the next superpowered individual would awaken.

Simply put, in Ji Donglai's view, ordinary people are enemies, objects to be guarded against with utmost caution, but among these enemies, there is an extremely tiny probability of one giving birth to one of their own.

Seeing the full-city aerial view from the sky, Fang Can walked towards the center of City F; from now on, he needed to follow the tradition of veterans guiding newcomers to welcome the new arrivals.

Ignoring the ordinary people around him performing a respectful salute, Fang Can casually took a hat from his personal space and put it on his head, covering his somewhat eye-catching white hair.

All the way to the Police Headquarters, from far away Fang Can saw a group of police officers guarding the entrance, waiting for him like a welcoming party.

Obviously, having received news early that a superpowered individual was coming, these police officers lined the road at the entrance to welcome him directly.

From far away, seeing Fang Can approaching with a hat on his head, just as they were about to open their mouths to ask, their entire bodies were already pulled up.

'Yes, this is the flavor of a superpowered individual!' Feeling their bodies suspended in mid-air, these people on the scene immediately confirmed Fang Can's identity.

'My lord, your family has been waiting inside for an hour. During this time, we have been carefully attending to them, absolutely daring not to be negligent.' The lead police officer said in pure Chinese.

Although this area used to belong to the Sakura Nation, the entire New Nation primarily uses Chinese, so other languages have been abolished.

Now, the only two mainstream languages the whole world needs to learn are Chinese and English.

'Take me in to take a look, and also, what crime did he commit?' Fang Can put down the several police officers and asked casually.

'No... no crime. Those few women, worse than pigs and dogs, actually bullied the superpowered my lord for a long time. My lord is a national traitor who deserves heavenly punishment.'

The Chief of Police hurriedly explained from the side, then glanced up and recognized Fang Can's identity through the face beneath the hat, causing great shock in his heart.

After roughly understanding the course of events, Fang Can, led by the police, walked down a long corridor to the very end.

Seeing the person sitting in the office, his eyebrows raised slightly: 'So it's a woman after all.'
