Chapter 55: We Numerical Monsters Are So Skilled!

Li Ang stretched his shoulders and neck, exhaled a breath, then charged at Higgins again.

Seeing this, the blond man's expression grew even darker.

He merely waved his hand, and invisible wind swept up shards of stone from the ground, firing them at Li Ang.

Ssssshhhh—!

Watching the shards hurtling toward him, Li Ang did not dodge or evade—he chose to take the attacks head-on.

In an instant, countless shards slashed across his body, leaving only faint marks, not even breaking the skin.

With the bonuses of 【Body Strength 3.2】 + 【Reverse Return to Primordial】 + 【Reverse Birth: Three Layers】, this attack was no more than a tickle to Li Ang.

Seeing this, Higgins' pupils shrank sharply.

Only now did the psionicist finally realize his opponent's defense was terrifyingly strong.

'What is his profession!?'

This was Higgins' thought at this moment.

Before he could think further, the young man, his clothes torn and revealing pale skin, had already rushed to his front.

Facing the enemy so close, Li Ang extended his right hand and grabbed straight for the man's throat.

Wind flowed through his open fingers; just as Higgins was about to be seized, an invisible pressure suddenly formed, enveloping Li Ang and halting his motion.

Seizing this opportunity, Higgins pulled away from him.

The blond man, still shaken, touched his neck, confirmed no injury, then exhaled: "Just barely."

In that instant, he truly smelled the scent of death.

"Lei Mengde"

Higgins had just opened his mouth to call for backup when Li Ang reappeared before him.

Watching the fist swinging toward him, his face twisted into a snarl: "Li Ang!"

"You really think I have no way to deal with you!?"

As he spoke, a piercing howl erupted around the blond man; invisible wind sharpened into blades, relentlessly tearing at Li Ang's body.

"Aaaah!"

Higgins let out a cry of agony, blood streaming continuously from his eyes and nose.

This was his ultimate technique—squeezing his own mental energy to massively amplify his psychokinesis.

Of course, the cost was immense; after using this move, he could not use psychokinesis for a short time.

But if he could eliminate Li Ang, everything was worth it to Higgins.

Under the full power of his ability, Li Ang's body was instantly covered in countless tiny wounds.

Seeing this, Higgins' face curled into a twisted grin: "Li Ang! You—"

His voice cut off abruptly; the blond man stared, stunned, at what unfolded before him.

His attack had indeed landed; Li Ang had indeed been wounded.

But the problem was—

The wounds on Li Ang's body did not bleed blood; instead, pure white energy continuously leaked from them.

Most crucially, his wounds were healing at a visibly rapid rate.

"How is this possible!?"

Li Ang looked at Higgins, whose face was filled with disbelief, and grinned: "Never seen it before?"

As he spoke, the blond man flew backward like a dead dog, rolling several times across the ground.

And psionicists were clearly a high-attack, low-defense profession—Higgins naturally could not possess Li Ang's absurd defense.

Thus, just one punch left him half-dead.

Seeing his opponent had lost combat capability, Li Ang exhaled deeply, feeling his internal energy largely depleted, his face slightly pale.

To be honest, his energy drain had been intense in just that short time, since Higgins' final attack had covered his entire body.

Healing wounds of this scale was a heavy burden for Reverse Birth: Three Layers, which had only just reached 【Proficient】.

Only because his defense was strong enough did Higgins' scattered attacks cause merely superficial injuries.

Li Ang walked slowly toward Higgins, where the blond man, face covered in blood, glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Huh… huh…"

"Li Ang…"

A weak, resentful voice drifted from Higgins' lips.

Before the fight, he never imagined he'd end up like this.

You should know that within the Public Security Bureau, even if his strength wasn't among the very top tier, it had already surpassed that of most people.

And what about Li Ang?

Just a prisoner who'd joined the Peace Bureau not long ago.

Moreover, intelligence reports never mentioned Li Ang possessed this level of self-healing—if they had, Higgins would never have dared face him alone.

Li Ang paid no heed to the defeated man's whimpers; he kicked, snapping all four of Higgins' limbs.

At that moment, his profession panel flashed new information.

【Used Qimen Dunjia in combat, Skill EXP +11】.

【Used Reverse Birth: Three Layers in combat, Skill EXP +114】.

Li Ang had never seen Reverse Birth: Three Layers gain so much EXP at once.

He stared at Higgins and murmured in confusion: "Are you that strong?"

Hearing this, Higgins' eyes widened, his throat emitted a few choked whimpers, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Li Ang didn't mean anything by it—he was genuinely puzzled.

But soon, Li Ang realized that part of this was due to his full activation of Reverse Birth: Three Layers to repair his body.

Once he realized this, a thought flashed through his mind:

'Too bad I'm not a masochist.'

At that moment, Lei Mengde and Danika, who were fighting nearby, noticed the situation over by Li Ang.

Seeing Higgins lying unconscious on the ground, Lei Mengde's face darkened, and he erupted in curses: "Federal national treasure*!"
