Chapter 23: Desire to Divide Demon Chapter

Feeling the sunlight warm his body and bring a tingling sensation of newfound strength, Fang Can took a deep breath.

Although the technique is still in its infancy, making absorption efficiency low and preventing any violation of the law of energy conservation, it cannot even achieve 100% utilization.

The solar energy gained each day merely balances the food consumed, yielding a negligible increase in strength.

But this technique can be upgraded later, allowing the energy cap to be raised step by step in the future.

Besides, Fang Can is no fool; he possesses subjective initiative, so how could he rely solely on solar energy to improve his physique?

Whether practicing martial arts or stuffing a nuclear reactor into his stomach to radiate directly into the East Sea, the amount of energy absorbed would utterly dwarf the effect of passively absorbing solar energy.

Feeling his body transformed after switching techniques, Fang Can looked seriously at Jiang Ningan and said, "Thank you."

"Huh? Thank me?" Jiang Ningan was somewhat taken aback. "Thank me for what?"

"Of course, for guiding me; otherwise, I might have been bound by convention on the martial path for a long time," Fang Can said.

"No need to thank me; just don't keep going crazy," Jiang Ningan waved his hands repeatedly.

"True, the main credit isn't yours," Fang Can nodded in agreement. "It was my own extraordinary luck that attracted you here, so the one I truly should thank is myself."

Having spoken, Fang Can ignored the bewildered look on Jiang Ningan's face and turned his gaze toward the window.

After a night of visualization, the daylight outside had grown bright, and little time remained before school.

"For the coming period, just stay inside; as long as you don't go out, you theoretically won't be found," Fang Can said, feeling uncertain.

Superpowers are diverse; perhaps there happens to be one capable of locating people, depending on whether the opponent is significant enough to warrant official attention.

'Moreover...' Fang Can's eyes darkened ambiguously. 'Since she could come here, crossing between worlds isn't unique; absolutely, a second and third person will follow.'

Taking out food sufficient for one day from the room, after giving some instructions, Fang Can simply picked up his backpack, ready to take the subway to school.

Watching the door slam shut with a bang, Jiang Ningan felt somewhat worried.

She wasn't just concerned about this madman having an episode on the street; she was more worried that he might report her upon leaving.

After pondering for a long time, she chose to take a gamble, cast aside distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began circulating her technique to heal the injuries from yesterday's battle.

Sitting on the subway, Fang Can found a spot with the best sunlight, closed his eyes slightly, and let the sun fully cover his face.

Having been busy all night, now that he finally had some free time, Fang Can prepared to take a short nap.

The morning sun's rays shone on his softly contoured face; because the heat and radiation were absorbed, Fang Can felt no scorching heat, but rather an immense coolness.

Furthermore, because the ultraviolet rays were also devoured, his skin would only grow whiter the more it was exposed.

At this moment, Fang Can's already flawless face, bathed in direct sunlight, made him look like a child of the sun.

Under the gaze of surrounding passengers, who unconsciously fixed their eyes on his face as if examining an oil painting, their minds began to involuntarily drift into a trance.

But this state did not last long, for only a few minutes later, Fang Can reached his stop.

As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a circle of men and women staring blankly at his face.

Without making a scene, seeing these people avert their eyes in embarrassment at being caught staring by the person himself, Fang Can picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the subway.

Fang Can was not the type who was handsome without knowing it.

The various invisible benefits and troubles he had gained from his appearance since childhood made him fully aware of his charm; the love letters he received were enough to fill a cart or a barn.

Such looks were even of the level to be a male lead in some female-dominant worlds; simply starting a livestream could trick countless older women into tipping and fighting to be number one on the leaderboard.

But unfortunately, because the schools differed, here, being good-looking was sometimes not a positive buff.

On the contrary, the possibility of being locked in a basement and subjected to ultimate humiliation by four men in turns was actually higher.

Precisely because of this, Fang Can, aware of the chance of being locked in a basement by some wealthy woman with superpowers, chose not to show his face online, but instead to live as low-key as possible.

After all, if he didn't do this, he might one day in the future be taught a lesson.

'In the coming days, I don't know when I will cross over again; I must quickly raise the flesh mutation rate,' Fang Can looked at the 3% mutation rate on the panel.

Name: Fang Can

Body: 4.1

Spirit: 4.1

Qi: 4.1

Although the system had not tested it, Fang Can was certain that his strength now absolutely surpassed the human limit.

After school, he would find a place to test exactly what he could achieve after seven days of cheat-like arduous cultivation.

At the A City Dragon Group headquarters, in a conference room shielded from signals, more than a dozen individuals of varying ages, genders, appearances, and attire sat inside.

If any superpower enthusiasts were here, they would discover that these people were all ability users of provincial level or above.

Before them lay a stack of paper documents, detailing the contents of the Mind-Only martial arts.

Ji Donglai stated, "Everyone, what you see here is the data on imprisoned otherworld natives that I had mind-ability users collect; you are now free to express your opinions."

"Since this energy tide could wash people from other worlds over here, what about the next tide? Will it wash these people back, or wash more people over?" an elderly man with a withered complexion raised a critical question.

"There is too little intelligence; we do not understand this point," Ji Donglai shook his head slightly. "We can only wait for the next energy tide in a few days to verify."

"Since these Mind-Only martial arts can be cultivated through memetic infection, I think this is a great opportunity to make up for our shortcomings."

One of the youths, full of spirit, said, "Combining superpowers with Wu Gong, is there any potential?"

"That is precisely why I gathered you," Ji Donglai said.

"We have successfully captured that martial artist with a Transcendent Body and have completely controlled him through mind abilities, forcing him to hand over the techniques he learned."

"However, Mind-Only techniques are somewhat too dangerous; I worry you might cultivate into madness."

"Therefore, next I plan to first promote the technique, select ordinary people in a pilot city to attempt cultivation, and once risks are confirmed absent, let the superpower users within the group attempt it," Ji Donglai said seriously.

"Then let it be settled thus." The superpower users present showed little interest, having no objection to using millions of people as test subjects.

After a brief discussion, they finalized the matter, and just as they were about to adjourn, a voice sounded from a corner:

"Hey! I have an idea!"

"Have you heard of the Desire to Divide Demon Chapter?"
