72: Chapter 72 Special Abilities!

Xia Ling said.

"I hope you won't regret this!"

"Are you really sure you want to decline my challenge?"

Bai Ye replied as if it were a matter of course.

"Naturally!"

"There's no benefit to winning, so why should I fight you?"

For someone like Xia Ling, fighting experts could improve her own strength, so she naturally never tired of it.

But Bai Ye was different!

He had the System, so he didn't need such slow methods to increase his strength at all.

He only needed to complete the System's missions to continuously grow stronger!

Having two Superpowers also gave him a far richer foundation than anyone else.

There was absolutely no need for him to do something like this.

And Bai Ye's clear-headed attitude won the agreement of everyone around him.

"Exactly, there's no benefit, so why should he fight you?"

"Everyone's time is highly precious. Why waste it on you?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't accept it either."

"If you want to challenge someone, you should at least put up some kind of prize."

They all chimed in one after another.

Thinking to themselves that if they were in his shoes, they would have done the exact same thing.

The most displeased ones were some people from Bai City.

As locals, they were very familiar with Xia Ling.

At this moment, they were already waiting to watch the show.

"He dares to refuse Xia Ling?"

"You'll regret it bitterly later!"

At this moment, Xia Ling looked at Bai Ye, a smile like that of an overbearing CEO playing at the corners of her mouth.

"You still don't know me."

"My challenge to you isn't some request."

"It's a notification!"

Hearing this, Bai Ye became even more speechless. What kind of ridiculous speech was this?

Calling her a battle maniac didn't even cut it anymore.

She was simply an overbearing lunatic!

She was clearly a woman, yet she was so crazy.

Looking at her, it seemed as though she had made countless preparations.

Leaving him absolutely no room to refuse.

If she could actually offer a condition he couldn't refuse, that would be one thing.

Bai Ye knew that since Xia Ling dared to speak like this, it must be related to her Superpower itself.

But he wasn't interested in Xia Ling, and he wasn't interested in what other Superpowers were either.

Bai Ye turned around, intending to leave directly.

With this time, he might as well study his System.

Or control his own Superpower; both could effectively improve his strength.

Wasn't that much more worthwhile than fighting this woman here?

Yet right at this moment...

Xia Ling suddenly called out to him again.

"Wait, look over here."

The moment Xia Ling said this...

The locals from Bai City were instantly startled, shouting loudly one after another.

"Let's get out of here quickly!"

These people quickly retreated a long distance.

Directly clearing a massive space for the two of them.

The other people around were startled by their intense reaction.

Not understanding what on earth these people were up to.

After seeing their reaction, Bai Ye was also somewhat intrigued.

He wanted to know what exactly would happen to make them look so terrified.

So, he turned around and looked at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling suddenly said aloud,

"Bai Ye, don't you want to know why I'm so arrogant?"

"Because I know what others are thinking in their hearts!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked!

So that was it!

Xia Ling really was a Prodigy.

It was actually an s-rank Mind-reading skill!

This skill was also extremely formidable in human society.

It could almost be called a killer skill!

But when dealing with exotic beasts, it didn't seem as powerful.

After all, many exotic beasts acted purely on instinct.

Mind-reading had no effect.

This, on the contrary, proved that Xia Ling's own combat talent was extremely Prodigy-like. Relying solely on her combat talent, she had reached the second place in the entire province.

One could see just how ridiculous her strength was.

Furthermore, at Stage One, this ability was merely Mind-reading.

Many people weren't that interested in it.

But at higher levels, it became even more ridiculous.

For example, when it reached Level 5.

This ability could not only alter others' thoughts, but even occupy them.

Turning others into one's Puppets!

Whether fighting humans or exotic beasts,

this kind of power was completely unstoppable.

For example, being able to instantly control one's enemies to become one's own thugs.

With such ridiculous power, no wonder it could become s-rank!

After seeing this scene,

Bai Ye's classmates retreated one after another!

No one wanted their inner thoughts to be known by others.

Especially those little secrets deep in their hearts.

If Xia Ling spoke them aloud in front of everyone,

wouldn't they be completely ruined?

Therefore, everyone present didn't dare to stay close at all.

A large open space instantly appeared around them.

Leaving only Bai Ye and Xia Ling!

The others finally understood why the people from Bai City had retreated so quickly.

At this moment, Bai Ye also finally understood why those who were challenged had agreed to it.

Because everyone had secrets!

If Xia Ling announced their secrets in public,

their lives would suffer complete social death!

Xia Ling looked at Bai Ye.

"How about it? Do you want me to speak your secrets aloud?"

"Now, you should agree to my challenge, right?"

Bai Ye's expression remained extremely calm.

This was the first time he had encountered such a threat, and it was indeed quite novel.

Xia Ling could have directly read his secrets.

However, she hadn't done so, choosing instead to give him a chance to choose.

This was precisely to create a sense of pressure.

When anyone heard of Mind-reading, they would definitely tell themselves not to think about those things.

Never think about their secrets.

But this would instead allow the opponent to catch them red-handed!

Seizing the opportunity to read his thoughts!

Xia Ling wanted to use this method to control him.

Although this method was quite underhanded,

Bai Ye didn't feel too much disgust in his heart.

After all, having passed by those countless ruins outside just now, he finally understood that the nature of this world was actually very cruel.

Everyone had to do whatever it took to grow stronger.

Xia Ling was naturally no exception!

She hadn't used this power to do worse things, but merely to challenge others. This was already a very restrained behavior.

She was indeed a very formidable person. No wonder she could become the second place in this exam with such a Superpower.

However...

Xia Ling was definitely not getting her wish this time.

Because Bai Ye had the System!

The System would never let anyone detect its existence!

At this moment, the System in his mind also issued a prompt.

"Special Superpower intrusion detected. This System is initiating comprehensive defense!"
