363: Chapter 363 How could a person possess two superpowers?

At the same time, outside Forbidden Zone No. 009, in the plaza of the National Martial Arts Competition Center, the atmosphere had long since frozen to the point of absolute tension.

The team leaders from various universities and the high-ranking officials of the Organizing Committee had all surrounded Captain Ji Xiaoyun.

This was because ten minutes ago, the staff had once again asked all participating team members for information regarding that Faceless Man.

As a contestant who was among the first to encounter the Faceless Man and had spent time alone with him, Captain Ji Xiaoyun was naturally asked for more details.

Consequently, Captain Ji Xiaoyun recalled that when she left that space, the Faceless Man answered her with: "I am called, Jiang!"

"Jiang?"

When Principal Pang Ban heard this word, it was as if he had been struck on the head with a heavy club, and his brain went "buzz" and exploded.

Is this, damn it, just an ordinary word?

In normal times, there are plenty of people surnamed Jiang across the entire Blue Star.

But placed at the center of today's storm, and considering the Magic City Martial Arts University team that had won the first round by simply "sleeping until the end"...

this word "Jiang" was as glaring as a searchlight in the dead of night!

"Principal Pang, if I recall correctly, the team leader of your Magic City Martial Arts University's first team is named Jiang You, right?"

A team leader from Kuangsha Academy initiated the attack, staring fixedly at Principal Pang Ban, his tone filled with intense questioning: "The Faceless Man claims his surname is 'Jiang'. This is far too coincidental!"

"Bullshit!"

Although Principal Pang Ban's heart was pounding with panic, his instinct to protect his own student made him stiffen his neck without hesitation and shout back:

"There are plenty of people in the world surnamed Jiang!"

"Why should just because he said the word 'Jiang', it must be our school's Jiang You? I could just as easily say his name is 'Great Bandit Jiang'! You are spitting blood and slandering the reputation of our Magic City Martial Arts University!"

However, once the seeds of suspicion were sown, they would take root and sprout wildly in people's hearts.

The mentors from other surrounding universities whispered to each other, feeling more and more terrified the more they thought about it.

"Could that Faceless Man rampaging through the secret realm really be Jiang You?"

"Think about it carefully; Jiang You didn't show his face at all during the first round and still ended up winning the championship unscathed."

"In the second round, he found a place to drink white spirits and sleep as soon as he entered the light gate. His behavior is indeed a bit strange!"

"Could it be that he is deliberately acting like a salted fish, while secretly wearing a mask and doing this business of slaughtering the prodigies of our various schools like pigs?"

Listening to these increasingly outrageous speculations, Principal Pang Ban's back was already soaked in cold sweat.

Because after hearing this news, the first person he subconsciously associated it with was Jiang You!

There was no helping it; this kid was just too capable of attracting attention!

The key point was, if it really was Jiang You, wouldn't this kid be way too arrogant?

Robbing people and then revealing his own name?

Just as public opinion was about to nail Jiang You to the pillar of shame as the "mastermind",

"Stop talking nonsense! This is complete gibberish!"

A cold and dignified voice suddenly rang out, interrupting everyone's groundless speculation.

A core technical expert from the Organizing Committee pushed up the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and strode into the crowd.

He held a freshly printed contestant file in his hand, scanning the surrounding mentors with a livid expression.

"Before making such absurd deductions, have you forgotten even the most basic martial arts knowledge?"

The expert slammed the file in his hand onto the table, pointed at Jiang You's profile, and said loudly:

"What is the registered exclusive Supernatural Ability for student Jiang You at the Martial Arts General Administration? It is the Mythical-grade SSS Supernatural Ability [Eye of Tianshu]!"

"However, according to the verification by President Xia Yun and the documentation team, the Supernatural Ability used by that Faceless Man is the Mythical-grade SSS Supernatural Ability [Boundless Ink Realm], which can devour living people and seal off space!"

The expert took a deep breath and threw out a fatal point of doubt that no one could refute:

"In the hundreds of years of history of our Great Xia Martial Arts World, who among you has ever seen one person capable of awakening two Supernatural Abilities simultaneously?"

"And what's more, two Supernatural Abilities that transcend SSS-grade!"

"If two supreme laws of equal intensity were to coexist in a mortal body, the only outcome would be to explode and die! Not even a speck of ash would remain!"

These resounding words were like a heavy blow.

The noisy plaza instantly fell silent.

Indeed, how could one person possess two Supernatural Abilities at the same time?

This completely violated the basic laws of the martial arts world!

"Right, right, right! That's what I've been saying!"

The clouds of worry on Principal Pang Ban's old face vanished instantly, and he immediately felt his spine straighten as he shouted righteously:

"I know Jiang You's personality better than anyone! He's just a lazybones who only knows how to sleep all day; where would he have the spare time to play ghost and rob you all?"

"This is definitely a deliberate frame-up! That Faceless Man left the word 'Jiang' on purpose just to splash dirty water on our Magic City Martial Arts University!"

Although Principal Pang Ban's defense sounded very reasonable, the identity of the Faceless Man had hit a dead end once again.

If it wasn't Jiang You, then who could it be?

"Could it be..." An officer from the Northern Territory said with a grave expression, putting forward a conjecture that made people's backs chill, "that the high-ranking member of the Wusheng Divine Sect who snuck in has actually silently possessed student Jiang You?"

"Or perhaps, the Faceless Man has been possessing Jiang You the whole time, using the pretext of participating in the competition to bypass security?"

"Bullshit! You're the one who's been possessed! Your whole family has been possessed!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Pang Ban was about to roll up his sleeves and fight the officer right there, scaring the mentors beside him into quickly hugging his waist tightly.

Just as everyone was arguing endlessly, and it was about to turn into a full-blown brawl,

"Buzz—!" The massive reception teleportation array in the center of the plaza suddenly erupted with a blinding white light.

The laws of space oscillated violently, and this familiar movement immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the plaza.

"Someone else has been thrown out! Go take a look!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, staring fixedly at the direction of the teleportation array.

The light gradually dissipated, and two figures fell onto the marble floor in a disheveled state.

These were two team members from a second-rate academy.

At this moment, the protective gear on their bodies had long since vanished, and even the spatial belts at their waists had been stripped clean.

The two hugged each other, crying in a heartbreaking manner.

"Wuwuwu... It was too dark! It was inhuman!"

"My Bone-Tempering Pills that I saved up for half a year, he didn't even leave me a bottle cap! That guy is simply a bandit reincarnated!"

Seeing the miserable appearance of these two, the big shots present also felt a headache.

It seemed that the Faceless Man's "stocking up" in the secret realm was still continuing; he was simply scraping the ground three feet deep, leaving nothing behind.

However, just as everyone was preparing to step forward to ask if these two had seen the Faceless Man's appearance,

a faint white light suddenly flashed again in the center of the teleportation array.

Immediately after, with a "whoosh" sound.

A third figure was gently "spat" out by the teleportation array.

Unlike the previous unlucky ones who were tossed out like garbage, this third person fell out in an exceptionally peaceful posture.

When landing, he even slid smoothly for half a meter on the polished floor tiles, finally striking a wide-open, uninhibited sleeping pose.

The gaze of everyone in the plaza instantly locked onto this sudden, uninvited guest.

The moment they saw the person's attire, the entire massive National Martial Arts Competition Center plaza seemed as if someone had pressed the mute button.

The air solidified, the wind stopped.

Even the two second-rate academy contestants who were still crying and howling noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off, and they forcibly choked back their sobs.
