177: Chapter 177 Teleportation

G District Hero Association branch, Hero Preparation Area.

This was a sprawling area that housed the equipment, uniforms, and combat gear for various heroes.

Within it stood rows of mechanical pedestals, identical to those seen in C City.

Upon one of these mechanical pedestals, an oval-shaped teleportation portal had suddenly manifested.

However, compared to the blue arc of light flickering on the other end, the light emitted by this portal was orange.

"Wan Chaoren, the portal sub-machine I teleported over using my Special Ability has started up normally."

An A-Class Space-type Transcendent wearing precision helmet equipment said.

His Special Ability allowed him to teleport objects to a designated location.

Coupled with a Special Ability amplification device custom-made for him, he could achieve ultra-long-distance teleportation.

Limited by the rules of his Special Ability, he could only teleport objects, not living beings.

To teleport heroes, it required the use of a portal device composed of a main machine and a sub-machine.

This set of equipment was not developed by the Human Race technology of this world.

Because the Superpower World lacked pressure from external races and was intentionally controlled by the Superpower Association, its technological level lagged behind that of the Martial Arts World, which had received help from the Mechanical Race.

Its overall technological level was only slightly ahead of the old society before The Great Annihilation Period.

Some creations that far exceeded the current technological level were all thanks to Special Abilities.

For example, this portal device was another creation of the Superpower Association's S-Class Transcendent, "Dream Box".

His Special Ability could roughly be described as:

Bringing things he encountered in his dreams across the boundary between reality and illusion, and introducing them into the real world.

Based on this Continental Carnival event, the G District Hero Association had applied for quite a few necessary supplies from the higher-ups.

"That's great, Lao Ge. Once you pass through this portal, you'll be able to see that kid you've been thinking about so much."

Wang Puchuan interjected from the side,

"But I must remind you, you can only stay for five minutes. The people from the Superpower Association might be watching, so we can't be too obvious about cheating."

"After five minutes, we will teleport another sub-machine to your location, so make sure you come back then."

"Lord 'Hand of Order' hates rule-breaking behavior the most," Wang Puchuan emphasized again.

"Has the nationwide live broadcast started?" Wan Chaoren asked.

"The nationwide network has already been connected, and we're currently driving traffic; there will be more and more people later."

Wan Chaoren walked up to the orange portal, turned back, and said to Wang Puchuan:

"One minute is enough; the remaining four minutes are just to pass the time."

"Also, if I hear you use that 'Lao...' whatever nickname again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing Wang Puchuan repeatedly using the Superpower Association to pressure him, Wan Chaoren vented his anger on Wang Puchuan's verbal tic.

Immediately, Wan Chaoren took a large stride and stepped into the portal.

Watching Wan Chaoren's disappearing figure, Wang Puchuan muttered:

"You won't hear it again..."

...

The nationwide live broadcast of the Continental Carnival was divided into two modes.

One was like the pre-warm-up event, where the person who gifted the most became the streamer, occupying a drone for the broadcast.

The other was the multiple live broadcasts operated by the officials.

Utilizing a micro-drone network covering the entire C City, they captured footage with no blind spots.

Although the official live streaming room was still black, netizens from all over the country had long been waiting in the room for the broadcast to start.

When the officially announced start time arrived, the screen suddenly lit up.

In an instant, countless bullet comments flooded in.

"It's starting, it's starting!"

"Grandpa, I'm continuing to watch the show you loved the most for you!"

"I heard that Transcendents are joining this year too."

"Holy crap, will that Wan Chaoren from G District be entering too? I really like the manga based on him."

"Who are these two people on screen?"

"I'm from G District; I recognize the one whose legs are trembling next to him. That's the Mayor of C City. As for the other one..."

"He has quite a bit of charisma, looks a bit handsome. I hope the thugs out there won't go easy on him later."

"This is a nationwide broadcast; what if kids watch it and imitate it?"

"Damn it, why are there people like you every year... This live stream is 18+."

"Eat sh*t, you in front. See if kids imitate it or not."

"Speaking of which, what is that thing glowing blue on the side for?"

While the viewers of the live stream were discussing, the light patterns on the portal surged.

A burly man wearing an iconic uniform emerged from within.

At just a glance, some viewers already recognized the man's identity.

"Oh!!!"

"Wan Chaoren!"

"He's actually appearing already?!!"

The strength of the G District Hero Association could be ranked among the best nationwide.

Otherwise, the Superpower Association wouldn't have handed the hosting rights for the 99th Continental Carnival to G District.

And Wan Chaoren was undoubtedly the hero in G District who was best at publicity and building a persona.

The manga books and figure merchandise based on him sold very well nationwide.

Apart from G District, there were many of his fans all over the country.

Under the gaze of fans from all over the country, Wan Chaoren clearly felt himself being enhanced in all aspects.

But Wan Chaoren couldn't care about this right now.

He frowned and stared at the man he saw the moment he walked out of the portal, saying:

"Did you summon me? Is there only you here?"

He felt this person looked a bit familiar, but he only wanted to know Chen Moxuan's location right now.

His keen perception told him that within a range of several kilometers, only this one person's presence existed.

Mayor Ma, whose legs were trembling uncontrollably, was visibly stunned upon hearing Wan Chaoren's words.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly raised his hand and pointed behind Wan Chaoren.

In his eyes, Chen Moxuan remained as he was before, sitting cross-legged in the same spot, motionless.

Only, compared to that sharp and oppressive Aura from just a moment ago, he now had no presence whatsoever.

Following the direction Mayor Ma pointed, Wan Chaoren turned his head abruptly.

He saw that Chen Moxuan had already opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as water, fixed directly on him.

"He was actually right behind me?!" Wan Chaoren was greatly shocked in his heart.

You must know, his perception could clearly capture the heartbeats and breathing sounds within several hundred meters.

Once someone showed even a hint of hostility toward him, he could react quickly.

But now, his perception was even stronger than before; at such a close distance, how could he have no awareness of being stared at so directly?

It wasn't that Chen Moxuan's breathing and heartbeat had stopped.

Rather, his Aura seemed to have achieved some kind of miraculous resonance with this vast world, perfectly merging into one.

Chen Moxuan's killing intent was deeply hidden within, not revealing a single bit on the outside.

Beneath the calm, raging waves were hidden.

"Stop the theatrics!"

Wan Chaoren's figure instantly vanished from where he stood, and he threw a violent punch toward Chen Moxuan's chest.
