Episode 194

Han Linmei had her own plans for that. She got Han Jun to detonate all the bombs he had placed around the area. Han Jun was an expert in explosives, plus the Handbook had provided him with bombs that were more advanced in technology than the world today, so they were way more destructive.

A few minutes later, Han Jun detonated the bombs remotely. His willpower could actually be used to create timebombs that could be detonated when he wanted them. Some of his bombs did not explode immediately, but had a wisp of his willpower attached to them. If someone touched that wisp, the bomb would go off. The outer team of five were in charge of placing such bombs around the outer area of the city.

If anyone got too close, even a veteran would not be able to hold up against the destructive power of such a powerful bomb. Su Jin had to say that Han Jun was really cut out to be a soldier. If a war broke out, Su Jin felt that he might not be as formidable as Han Jun.

The explosions immediately attracted the attention of the owners inside the building and a large number of them immediately made their way toward different sections of the city. But once they got close enough, they set off the wisp of Han Jun’s willpower on the bombs and caused new explosions to occur. Within moments, the entire city seemed to be embroiled in a war as explosions resounded from all directions.

In no time, most of the owners within the skyscraper had left the building to try and calm the situation down. Su Jin nodded at Han Linmei, then disappeared in an instant.

After Su Jin left, Han Linmei saw that Li Jinpeng had a dazed expression on his face. She frowned and used her knuckles to hit him lightly on the head. “Still daydreaming? We’ve got work to do!”

“No, it’s just that… this guy is really formidable,” said Li Jinpeng with a stiff smile.

“You’re only saying that now? Didn’t you get a taste of it earlier? You couldn’t even make it past his finger.” She rolled her eyes at him.

Li Jinpeng had a sad smile on his face as he turned to look at where Su Jin had gone and whispered, “I’ve met a formidable owner like that before in a Challenge. His physical body was also practically invincible. His name was… Jiang Li? Or something like that.”

“That’s not important now! Let’s go!” Han Linmei whacked his head harder this time and dragged Li Jinpeng away from the skyscraper. Their job was to stall the owners who had left the building and keep them from returning too quickly.

Meanwhile, Su Jin kept going up the building rapidly, floating past everyone like a ghost. It was easy for him to avoid detection since he had psychokinesis and he could move faster than they could see.

This building had a total of 28 stories and Su Jin finally ran into an obstacle on the 26^th floor. An Indian man was sitting cross-legged on the floor. His eyes were closed, and his hands were pinched together in a strange manner. He seemed to be sleeping.

Su Jin immediately stopped walking. He would be foolish to think this man was asleep and walk past him. This man was brimming with a dangerous aura and even someone like Su Jin felt that he had to be very careful around him.

“The Order has a visitor at this hour? An unfriendly one too, I see,” said the Indian man as he opened his eyes. He was very advanced in age and his face was covered in wrinkles, but there was a silver glint in his eyes.

“He has psychokinesis!” Su Jin’s eyes widened slightly as he realized that this man had psychokinesis like him. But he quickly realized that this man’s psychokinesis was not like his. It was not a Spirit Power from the Handbook and seemed to be an ability he was born with.

“You have a sharp eye, huh. So, are you going to walk out by yourself or… do you need me to send you to the Holy Hell?” The man smiled faintly and floated into the air.

Su Jin’s expression remained unchanged as he responded, “I didn’t expect your Order to be such a friendly one! Someone has barged into your headquarters and you’re actually giving him a chance to walk away just like that?”

“Our Order is a friendly and forgiving one that does not wish to make any enemies. If you leave on your own, I can take it that nothing happened today.” The Indian man nodded slightly at Su Jin, as if he were really a kind and peace-loving person.

Su Jin merely snorted. “Ha! I don’t think it’s because your religion is friendly. It’s more because you feel that you can’t defeat me in a fight, isn’t it?”

The Indian man froze for a moment before suddenly thrusting a palm forward, attacking Su Jin without warning.

Just like what Su Jin just said, if he were confident of taking Su Jin down, he would have done so immediately instead of chatting with Su Jin. Now that Su Jin had seen through his thoughts, he decided to make a sneak attack.

Su Jin felt his body fly backwards against his own wishes after the man thrust his palm at him. This wasn’t because the Indian man had a lot of strength in his palm, but because that was a palm filled with psychokinesis. Psychokinesis was making him fly backwards.

The Indian man had a gleeful look on his face. His psychokinesis was different from the Spirit Power given by the Handbook, but it was just as powerful. Once another person had fallen victim to his psychokinesis, it was going to be hard for them to fight back.

Su Jin was slammed into a wall like a limp ragdoll, making a huge crater in the wall.

That shocked the Indian man as he realized that this young man’s body was very strong, since he could make such a crater in the wall. This was not caused by his psychokinesis. If he had used the same amount of strength to fling a piece of tofu against the wall, the thing that fell apart certainly wouldn’t be the wall.

The Indian man dared not relax for one moment and used his psychokinesis to fling Su Jin about again and again. Su Jin smashed and shattered everything on the 26^th story in seconds. The man used his psychokinesis one last time to fling Su Jin toward the floor.

BOOM! Su Jin smashed through floorboard after floorboard, falling through ten floors to finally land on the 16^th floor.

“Humph! That should kill him!” The Indian man’s face was a little pale, and he was sweating profusely. He had sensed that Su Jin was dangerous, so he used all the strength he had. That series of attacks would definitely be sufficient to kill most owners.

“Aseem, is everything alright?” A beautiful woman came down from the 27^th story. She was surprised to see how tired the Indian man looked, because Aseem was a man born with extraordinary powers to begin with. After becoming an owner, he had become much more powerful than most owners. It was rare to find an opponent who could tire him out like this.

“Madam Peacock, it’s been settled. I’ve already dealt with the intruder, so you can go back upstairs to rest,” Aseem said respectfully to the beautiful woman.

She nodded slightly before her expression turned to one of horror. She let out a shriek and soundwaves instantly surged past Aseem, shocking him in the process.

Boom! The soundwaves shattered a giant rock that had been aimed at Aseem. She shouted, “Watch out, that fellow isn’t dead yet!”

Aseem paled and used his psychokinesis to search for Su Jin. But immediately after he did that, he felt like his psychokinesis had been hit violently by a giant hammer. His injured psychokinesis flowed back into him, causing him to turn deathly pale as he spewed a large mouthful of blood.

“Born with psychokinesis, eh? You’re pretty strong, but you don’t really know how to control it and you just use it to attack another person with brute force. Is that the difference between someone born with psychokinesis and an owner with Psychokinetic Spirit Power?” said Su Jin as he rose slowly from the hole in the floor with a thoughtful look on his face.

“You… you have psychokinesis too!” Aseem could barely stand. Having one’s psychokinesis crash back on yourself caused a lot of damage to the body. Su Jin went through something similar when he used his psychokinesis to hold up the avalanche the last time.

Su Jin grinned, then turned to the beautiful lady next to Aseem and waved. “Miss Peacock, was it? Those soundwaves were really impressive. I know how powerful anything I use my psychokinesis to throw can be, yet your soundwaves blocked it so easily. I see your position in this cult must be pretty high!”

Peacock’s expression fell. She had come down from the 27^th floor because she was afraid that Aseem would have trouble dealing with Su Jin, but she realized that she shouldn’t have done that in the first place. It would have been better to just let Aseem die instead of having to fight a formidable fellow like Su Jin.

“You think too highly of me. All I did was to break the rock, which is a lot easier than blocking it.” She put on a pitiful expression, which made Su Jin feel bad for her when he saw her face.

“Oh, you have the power to mesmerize others? Is that your Spirit Power? Then what about those soundwaves?” Su Jin was a little puzzled. Peacock had done something in an attempt to affect his mind, but his psychokinesis was too strong for her to actually affect him. Perhaps only the legendary nine-tailed fox could affect him. This lady wasn’t powerful enough.

Her expression turned a little nasty and Su Jin suddenly found an answer to his questions. “I see! So, the high positions of this cult are filled with people who are born with supernatural abilities. In that case, I suppose those soundwaves are your Spirit Power, while the ability to mesmerize others is your innate talent, am I right?”

She laughed hollowly. “You are correct. My little antics must make me look like a clown to you.”

“Oh no, no, don’t say that. Since Mr. Aseem gave me a chance to leave on my own accord earlier, I’ll give both of you a chance too. If you leave now, I won’t kill you. But if you don’t… you could accompany each other on the way to hell!” Su Jin’s expression turned frosty.

Peacock looked hesitant as she sighed and said, “You must understand that if we leave now, the Leader will kill us tomorrow. Our lives are all in the hands of the Leader, who can kill us anytime. We really wouldn’t dare to go against the Leader’s orders. We don’t have a choice here.”

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll kill you before your leader gets to kill you tomorrow.” Su Jin was getting a little impatient. If these two were to go all out to fight him, it would delay his efforts to get to Chu Yi. And if Chu Yi managed to escape as a result, all this effort would have gone to waste.

Peacock still looked extremely hesitant, as though she was put in a very difficult position. Just then, Aseem suddenly let out a maniacal laugh. “Madam Peacock, we’ve done it! It’s time to kill this fellow!”

Su Jin heard a crack in the ceiling boards above his head as they gave way. A figure had come down from above and was walking slowly toward Su Jin amidst the huge cloud of dust.

After the dust settled, Su Jin could finally see the face of the person who had crashed through the ceiling. It was none other than Chu Yi.
