146: Chapter 146 Speed ​​Bumps?

As the black energy surged into his body, Zhang Qian's Physical Body began to tremble uncontrollably.

His consciousness felt as if it had been suddenly dragged into a dark abyss by an invisible hand, instantly falling into a deep sleep.

Chen Moxuan was well prepared; a surge of vigorous True Qi issued from his palm, steadily catching Zhang Qian's body as it collapsed from the loss of consciousness, allowing him to be laid flat gently.

The moment Zhang Qian's consciousness completely drifted into sleep, Chen Moxuan perceived a Soul power, powerful enough to be heart-stopping, surging out from within Zhang Qian.

In an instant, a phantom figure darted out from the collapsed body of Zhang Qian.

This phantom was clearly visible, a Soul so powerful that it had condensed into a tangible substance.

The phantom gently beckoned with one hand, and the dark gold ring in the box, as if pulled by invisible threads, instantly settled onto the ring finger of his left hand.

A massive amount of black energy, like a bursting flood, poured madly from the dark gold ring, wrapping the phantom tightly within the blink of an eye.

That mass of black energy swirled and churned, its wisps exuding a hair-raising, ominous sensation.

Yet, beneath this cold and ominous appearance, a vast and boundless vitality faintly emanated from within the black energy.

"Creating a Physical Body with the Soul as the core, what exactly is the principle behind this..."

Chen Moxuan was filled with doubt and curiosity, resisting the urge to investigate further using [Po Yuan].

He had already learned from Song Xin that after the Lust Maniac fulfilled the price, his Soul would leave the host's Physical Body.

Afterwards, the Lust Demon possessing him from behind would use the possession medium and its demonic power to reshape a Physical Body for him.

There was a one-hundred-percent compatibility between this reshaped Physical Body and the Soul, so there would be no rejection or discomfort.

"It's just that the process is a bit long, and the commotion is also quite large."

Chen Moxuan's gaze swept over the flickering black energy, where the embryonic form of a Physical Body was faintly condensing.

He estimated that it would take at least five more minutes for this Physical Body to fully condense and take shape.

Meanwhile, the people around them, from the moment the black energy appeared, had gradually fallen into a dazed and vacant state.

Chen Moxuan had been maintaining his Spiritual Sense pressure to intimidate everyone; now, he could more clearly perceive that an unprecedented power system was quietly infiltrating the depths of their Souls, further controlling their consciousness.

The source of this power was undoubtedly that mysterious black energy.

However, this seemed to be merely a passive effect of the black energy; as long as one's Mental Energy was slightly weak, they would easily be affected the moment they saw the black energy.

Chen Moxuan moved the fallen Zhang Qian to the side, letting him lean against the wall.

Among the current Great Sin Madmen, the Lust Maniac's Soul strength was considered outstanding, standing out uniquely among them.

Once his consciousness began to awaken, the host's Soul would be like a helpless boat tossed in towering waves, instantly capsized by this powerful Soul strength, causing the consciousness to fall into a comatose state without any power to resist.

The duration of this coma could be anywhere from a few hours to two or three days.

At the same time, under the condition of being occupied by such a high-intensity Soul, the longer the latency period, the greater the possibility of the host becoming an Awakener in the future.

Many Awakeners in the Madman Society were recruited during the multiple times they searched for Lust Maniac hosts.

Of course, depending on the situation, if the other party might become a potential enemy, the Madman Society would also take action to eliminate them in advance.

"Hmm? Someone has shattered the barrier I set up..."

Just as Chen Moxuan intended to wait quietly for the other party to complete the condensation of the Physical Body, he realized that the barrier he had set up had been shattered.

He immediately focused his Spiritual Sense to probe outside the air-raid shelter, sensing a figure rushing toward this location at lightning speed.

This figure was drenched in blood, his body caked with some nauseating bits of flesh.

He was the B-rank criminal Speedster; his Special Ability could drastically increase the momentum generated when running, and the more excited his state, the greater the increase.

At full speed, he could easily smash through an armored vehicle.

During a mission, he accidentally obtained a special stimulant produced by an organization, targeted at Transcendents.

In a moment of obsession, he tried injecting a dose.

The pleasure of having his Special Ability greatly enhanced, with his body flying like an arrow released from a bow, overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, leaving him unable to stop.

Since then, he had become addicted to this stimulant, and every time he went on a mission, he would inject a dose to seek that short and thrilling pleasure.

Moreover, as his addiction grew, the dosage he injected became larger and larger.

Finally, during a mission, his Special Ability completely went out of control, rampaging through the streets, leaving a trail of devastation wherever he went.

He crashed into and killed hundreds of innocent citizens, blood staining the streets, with screams echoing endlessly.

Even more seriously, he also collided with a C-rank Transcendent, crushing them into fragments, and was therefore sentenced to sixty years of imprisonment.

"Just now... it seems I crashed into something again?"

"Whatever, probably a speed bump!"

The Speedster, while speeding along the street like a bolt of black lightning, shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with madness and recklessness:

"I haven't enjoyed this feeling for decades, it's fucking awesome!"

The Speedster agreed to the Hero Association's participation in this event, but it was not to gain an early release.

The only condition he proposed was for the Association to prepare the same type of stimulant as before for him.

As soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to inject a dozen doses of the stimulant in succession.

Subsequently, like a beast that had lost its reason, he charged wildly toward the coordinates marked on his watch.

During his dash, no matter what he encountered, he treated it all as a speed bump, ruthlessly crashing into it without mercy or hesitation.

Debris flying and flesh splattering only made him more excited.

At this moment, he was high to the extreme; he didn't even notice that he had shattered the barrier Chen Moxuan had set up, nor did he feel the electric current from the barrier's attack.

He simply mistook the tingling sensation on his body for a hallucination from being high.

He continued to rush straight ahead like a crazed bull.

"Someone in front again?"

The Speedster saw a figure appear in his field of vision; he was so excited that his facial features were twisted and deformed, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably from excessive agitation.

He hadn't seen anyone standing so recklessly in the middle of the street along the way.

Previously, he had to crash through a layer of houses before hitting people, which wasn't satisfying at all.

If he could smash through flesh at full speed directly, the feeling would surely be quite wonderful.

Excitement caused the Speedster's speed to soar again, and he slammed into the figure with a boom.

"Splat!"

"Eh?"

The familiar sound of flesh exploding entered the Speedster's ears.

However, unlike the feeling of flying with his feet on the ground earlier, at this moment, he felt as if all his bones had been removed from his body, and a floating, drifting sensation washed over him.

The Speedster widened his eyes, looking down in disbelief, only to find that his body no longer existed; all that remained was a lone head, still maintaining its momentum and flying forward.

Just in that instant, Chen Moxuan had activated [Overlords Heavy Body], summoning two Overlord phantoms, each delivering a punch that blasted the Speedster's body to pieces.

Then, without looking back, he waved his hand to condense a blade of lightning, which accurately struck the back of the Speedster's head.

Accompanied by the blinding electric light bursting forth madly, the Speedster's head exploded with a boom.

Chen Moxuan's expression was calm as he stood there waiting.

Within his Spiritual Sense range, he had already perceived nine more unmasked Special Ability fluctuations approaching this location.
