84: Innate x Sacred Physique?

“If you have the guts, just kill me!”

“If I get the chance to be Reincarnated again, I’ll hunt you down the very first moment!”

Murong Xue sensed Shen Yi’s arrival, yet she made no move to resist and simply lay defenseless on the sofa.

She completely gave up any pretense of fighting back.

Shen Yi, however, did not drop his guard; he stayed far away from Murong Xue and kept Teleportation ready at all times.

The closer it got to the end, the less he could afford to relax.

“Fine, if you can be Reincarnated again, feel free to take revenge or even torture me, I’ll be waiting.”

Shen Yi’s tone was indifferent.

He cared only about this lifetime.

Whether she started over now or in the next life, none of it could scare him.

Since he dared to kill her, he feared no damned retribution.

Hearing Shen Yi’s words, Murong Xue’s beautiful eyes flickered and turned to him.

She still wished she could hack this bastard to death.

Yet she had to admit that his mentality was impressive.

To survive in this ever more desperate world, one needed at least that kind of mindset.

Although Murong Xue hated Shen Yi, she had never called him evil.

Why?

Because she herself was not a good person either.

She had killed people too.

Reliving her life had taught Murong Xue that only those who were ruthless and vicious enough could live longer.

That was the law of survival in the apocalypse!

Setting aside their personal feud, she quite admired Shen Yi’s personality.

Cut the weeds by the roots, stay unrestrained, and do whatever one pleased.

The perfect self Murong Xue fantasized about was exactly that kind of person.

She had acted that way in this life as well.

Whenever she struck, she made sure to eliminate witnesses.

She did whatever she wanted.

For example, before the apocalypse began, she borrowed more than 100 million through various channels to build an apocalypse villa and never intended to repay the money.

Those creditors had tried to contact her, hoping to seek refuge, but Murong Xue could not be bothered to reply and simply blocked them all.

Since the apocalypse was already here, being a deadbeat was nothing; it was not like they really dared to block her door.

If they truly dared to come, she would just kill them all and remove future trouble.

After a few minutes of silence, Murong Xue suddenly asked, “Did you perhaps obtain a Constitution-enhancing type superpower?”

“You want to know? Become my woman and I’ll tell you.”

Shen Yi was still weighing whether to throw a grenade.

He had noticed that the hostility around Murong Xue had suddenly lessened.

The black aura slowly shifted to gray, even mixed with a trace of white.

What was going on?

She was inexplicably no longer hostile toward him…

An innate masochist sacred body?

The speed of her mood swing was more bizarre than Cthulhu itself!

“You’ve already used three superpowers, which means you can’t have a Constitution-enhancing one… could it be a drug that boosts stamina for a short time?”

Murong Xue sized Shen Yi up and analyzed him thoughtfully.

From this scene, one could not tell that the two had been fighting to the death just minutes ago.

“You mean everyone has only three superpowers?”

Shen Yi frowned, catching the key information.

He had already learned this from Lin Zhiwei, yet Shen Yi had always believed that as long as one obtained the Physical Evolution superpower one could host more superpowers.

He thought it applied to everyone.

But judging from what Murong Xue, the Reincarnator, said, it seemed the limit had also been three in the previous life.

Could it be that no one had eaten the Physical Evolution fruit in the last life?

Since Murong Xue had mentioned Constitution-enhancing superpowers, Physical Evolution ought to be among them.

If others had also eaten the Physical Evolution fruit, they should have been able to hold more than three superpowers.

Unless the Physical Evolution fruit was so rare that even Murong Xue, the Reincarnator, had never heard of it.

Of course another possibility was that Murong Xue had been too weak in her previous life and had never met real powerhouses, so her information was limited.

That possibility was high!

If she had been formidable in her previous life she probably would not have been Reincarnated.

Murong Xue had no idea what Shen Yi was thinking.

She remembered clearly that the strongest superpower users in the previous life had obtained at most three superpowers.

Some had tried to acquire a fourth superpower and their bodies had exploded on the spot.

Therefore Murong Xue was convinced that humans could have only three superpowers.

At least in her experience it was so.

Shen Yi had already shown a sensory superpower, a mental superpower, and a spatial superpower, which made three superpowers.

If he possessed a Constitution-enhancing superpower as well, it would mean he had four superpowers…

That was absolutely impossible!

That left only one other possibility.

Shen Yi must have raised the level of his spatial superpower, at least to level 5 or 6, so the stamina cost decreased and he could use it without worry.

However, that too was unbelievable!

Just now Murong Xue had been driven to desperation and had overdrawn her mental power to barely raise her own superpower to level 2.

Yet a space-type superpower was several times harder to level up than hers.

The stronger a superpower was, the rarer it became and the harder it was to improve.

Space and time-type powers were especially hard; advancing a single level was difficult, let alone reaching level 5 or 6 in only half a month.

Even cheating could not raise it that fast!

If rare, powerful superpowers were really that easy to level up, humanity would not have been nearly wiped out.

Murong Xue remembered that the well-known superpower users of the previous life all wielded common elemental-type superpowers.

Because common superpowers were easier to level up.

Once their levels were high enough, sheer numbers could crush space and time-type superpowers.

For example, a high-level ice superpower user could casually freeze several hundred meters of space.

A typical spatial superpower user could teleport only a few dozen meters and was no match for an ice superpower.

For that very reason

Murong Xue could not figure out what was going on with Shen Yi now.

With three superpowers already, it was impossible for him to acquire a fourth Constitution-enhancing one.

It was even more impossible for him to raise his spatial superpower so quickly.

So there were only two possibilities left: first, a recovery or enhancement-type superpower user was restoring his stamina and boosting his power.

That was unlikely because Murong Xue sensed no other superpower users nearby.

That left the second possibility: Shen Yi had taken a drug or fruit that increased stamina for a short time.

She had indeed heard of such items in her previous life.

They were a relatively rare resource that only began to appear more than 2 months into the apocalypse.

As soon as they surfaced, powerful superpower users and shelters seized control of them.

If Shen Yi already possessed such fruit or medicine, his dumb luck was off the charts!

So who is really the Reincarnator here…

I relived my life, knew so many opportunities, yet I’m still weaker than some ordinary nobody from the previous life!

Could it be that this guy never died in the last life and had been hiding his strength all along?

Was he actually a formidable powerhouse??

As she thought about it, the way Murong Xue looked at Shen Yi became increasingly strange…
