153: Chapter 153 Have you awakened a superpower?

Lu Xingye felt as if he were naked right now.

This was not a figure of speech, but a sense of nakedness on a soul level.

When Jiang You's blue-glowing eyes swept over him, Lu Xingye felt that his pride-and-joy blade intent, his supposedly impregnable defensive stance, and even the little secrets he harbored deep in his Heart regarding Qiu Yunan, had all been seen through by those eyes!

That was not the gaze of a human.

It was the indifference of a god looking down upon ants.

His knees were trembling, and cold sweat soaked the leather jacket on his back.

"Th-this kind of gaze, how could it be that guy Jiang You?"

"Could it be... that he has been playing house with us all this time?"

As a Tier 5 Great Demon and a Phantom Demon Fox, Bai Lan possessed the sharpest perception in the room.

The moment that blue light erupted, the fur all over her body stood on end, and the phantom image of the tail behind her almost manifested out of sheer terror.

In her perception, the big brother who usually only fought with her over potato chips had suddenly turned into a giant beast from the primordial wilderness!

That aura... it was more ancient and noble than any human grandmaster she had ever seen, or even the Demon Emperors in the inherited memories of her bloodline!

"Wuwuwu..."

Bai Lan huddled behind the sofa, covering her fox ears tightly with both hands, trembling:

"Big brother is so scary..."

"I won't eat the potato chips anymore... I'll give them all to you... please don't glare at me..."

The others were also looking at Jiang You in front of them with shocked expressions.

In the entire hall, apart from the lingering echo of Jiang You's cold, metallic voice, there was nothing left but the ragged, almost stifled breathing of the crowd, and the thundering of their Hearts pounding against their chests.

They looked at Jiang You, that familiar yet strange figure, now shrouded in a mysterious and terrifying halo.

...

At this very moment, Jiang You, the person involved, was experiencing a marvelous journey with his consciousness.

The instant the blue light erupted, Jiang You felt his soul being dragged by an invisible giant hand into a vast starry sky.

All around were brilliant galaxies, and beneath his feet was endless void.

And at the end of that galaxy stood a towering figure seen from behind.

The person wore black-gold armor, long hair dancing wildly; just that back view seemed to support the entire heaven and earth.

Just as Jiang You wanted to see who that person was, the figure slowly turned around.

He could not see the face clearly.

He only saw a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes, just like the ones now, burning with ghostly blue divine flames, as if containing the birth and death of the universe!

A desolate and ancient voice, spanning across eons of time and space, exploded in his mind:

"Divine Treasury... Open."

"Boom!"

The scene shattered.

Jiang You's consciousness was instantly ejected back to the real world.

...

In reality.

The blue light in his eyes slowly receded, and the suffocating, terrifying pressure dissipated along with it.

Jiang You felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and an extreme sense of exhaustion instantly flooded his Heart.

"Huff..."

He let out a long breath of stale air, his originally straight spine instantly slumped, and his whole body flopped back onto the sofa like a pile of mud.

"Ouch..."

Jiang You covered his aching eyes and rubbed them with teary eyes:

"It's killing me..."

"What just happened?"

"Why does it suddenly feel like there's a brick in my eyes?"

He opened his eyes groggily, wanting to see the situation around him.

At this look, he was startled.

He saw that Lu Xingye, Xiang Batian, Gou Fugui, and even Bai Zimo, who only knew how to type on a keyboard, were all maintaining an extremely strange posture.

Everyone was far away, pressed against the wall, looking at him with terror, and even a hint of fanaticism.

It was like a group of believers looking at a divine statue that had just manifested.

"Uh..."

Jiang You scratched his head and asked blankly:

"Why are you... looking at me like that?"

"Is there a flower on my face?"

"Or..."

Jiang You subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth:

"Did I drool in my sleep?"

Everyone: "..."

Looking at Jiang You, who was sprawled on the sofa rubbing his eyes, asking if he had drooled, and looking completely drained.

Lu Xingye's nerves, which had been stretched to the breaking point, suddenly relaxed.

That divine pressure that made people want to prostrate themselves had vanished without a trace, replaced by that familiar, frustratingly lazy "salted fish" aura.

"Phew..."

Lu Xingye let out a long breath of stale air, even leaning against the wall with weak legs.

He looked at Jiang You, his gaze slowly changing from terror to... an extremely complex sort of ecstasy!

"I knew it!"

Lu Xingye slapped his thigh hard, disregarding any expert demeanor, and rushed to the sofa in a few steps:

"I knew you kid were holding back a big move!"

"Jiang You! Did you just awaken, damn it?!"

Following Lu Xingye's shout, the people present also suddenly came back to their senses.

That's right!

In this world where spiritual energy is recovering, a sudden burst of powerful energy, other than going into a demonic deviation, only had one explanation—Supernatural Ability awakening!

"Holy crap! Brother Jiang!"

Gou Fugui scrambled over, his glasses crooked, but he couldn't care about fixing them, grabbing Jiang You's arm with an excited face:

"That blue light just now! That blue light that blasted through the roof!"

"That was a pupil technique, right? It must be a rare pupil-based Supernatural Ability, right?"

"Oh my god! Our Class F has produced another mage who can kill without lifting a finger!"

Xiang Batian was even more excited, his muscles trembling all over, and he rushed over to give Jiang You a bear hug:

"Too strong! Too scientific!"

"I knew it! For someone who is usually so lazy, where else could the energy have accumulated?"

"So it all gathered in your eyes!"

"This is what they call a breakthrough after long accumulation!"

Even Bai Lan, who was hiding behind the sofa, poked her little head out.

She looked at Jiang You, who had turned back into his "useless big brother" appearance. Although she was still a little scared, she felt more of the happiness of "my caretaker has become powerful."

"Big brother..."

Bai Lan asked weakly:

"Will your eyes glow in the future?"

"If the power goes out at night, does that mean we won't need to light candles?"

Jiang You, surrounded by everyone and being watched like a monkey, was full of question marks.

Awakening?

Pupil technique?

Jiang You felt a little creeped out.

He looked down at his hands, then touched his eyes. Apart from the tearing pain from earlier and his current feeling of weakness, there didn't seem to be any special changes.

"What... are you guys talking about?"

Jiang You blinked his still-sore eyes, looking innocent. "What glowing? What power outage? My eyes just suddenly hurt a lot, like something was about to crawl out, and then I didn't know anything else."

He paused, looking at the hole that had been pierced through the wall, and the scattered concrete fragments and dust on the floor, his mouth opening into an "O" shape.

"Holy crap! What happened to the roof? Who did this? You have to pay for vandalism! Our class is already tight on budget!"

This completely clueless appearance left everyone, who had just experienced the "baptism of divine light," in silence once again.

Lu Xingye opened his mouth, looking at Jiang You's dead fish eyes, which had returned to being half-closed and lusterless, and then looking at the clearly visible hole in the ceiling that led straight to the sky, he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

This guy... did he get amnesia after awakening?

Or could it be that he really had no idea about the earth-shattering blow he had just unleashed?

Senior Ji Youyou walked up to Jiang You, curiously examining his eyes, and began to analyze to herself:

"Theoretically... when a Supernatural Ability awakens, the person involved can indeed experience temporary amnesia due to energy shock, or have a blurred memory of the specific details during the process..."

"Jiang You, can you feel any changes in your eyes?"
