Chapter 229: The Second Ability

Half an hour later, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli returned to the Awakening Academy. The nanosuit on Su Mengli’s body automatically faded away, returning to its normal form.

Soon after, Su Mengli said, “Ye Xuan, you go and receive Long Hanjie and the others. I want to be alone for a while.”

Ye Xuan could tell that Su Mengli’s mood was somewhat complicated, probably because of the disappearance of the Empress’s remnant soul.

Seeing the same self but living a completely different life, and now, this remnant soul had disappeared again, Su Mengli needed some time to be alone.

After Su Mengli left, Ye Xuan thought to himself, “System, bring out the Twin Fruit!”

Next, a bright red cherry appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand.

This cherry was a twin fruit with a single stem bearing two fruits produced by pistils, hence becoming the Twin Fruit.

Ye Xuan examined the Twin Cherry for a moment, then swallowed it in one gulp.

Moments later, the system notification sounded, “Congratulations, host, for acquiring the second ability, SS-class Electromagnetic Manipulation!”

Electromagnetic Manipulation: The host can manipulate the electromagnetic field, changing the distance between molecules to create gravity and repulsion.

Note 1: Electromagnetic manipulation is different from Magneto’s ability, as it can manipulate everything, not just limited to metals.

Note 2: The development class of the host’s second ability is on par with the first ability, currently at 30% ability development.

Ye Xuan heard the system notification and was very happy. His luck was still good, drawing the Electromagnetic Manipulation ability.

This ability, although it carries the words ‘electric’ and ‘magnetic’ in its name, is not closely related to metals. By changing the distance between molecules to create gravity and repulsion, it is essentially controlling gravity and repulsion.

This ability is somewhat similar to the Rinnegan. When releasing repulsion, it can push away all attacks on oneself, and when releasing gravity, it can directly pull enemies over. Moreover, compared to the Rinnegan, Ye Xuan’s control of gravity and repulsion has no cooldown time limit.

This ability is extremely practical in battle, especially when combined with Ye Xuan’s own formidable Sky Dominator Body.

Even though Ye Xuan has lost the Hammer of the Thunder God, he is confident in competing with geniuses of the same period. Not to mention, Ye Xuan also obtained the Fortune Cudgel!

With a single thought, the Fortune Cudgel appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand.

Initially, the Fortune Cudgel was only the size of a needle, resembling a golden needle lying in Ye Xuan’s hand.

Ye Xuan’s playful side emerged as he said, “Bigger!”

Next, the needle-sized Fortune Cudgel instantly grew to the size of a pencil.

Ye Xuan said again, “Bigger!”

This time, the pencil-sized Fortune Cudgel turned into a length of over half a meter, but it still felt weightless in Ye Xuan’s hand.

The Fortune Cudgel weighs thirteen thousand five hundred catties, but that is for others. For Ye Xuan, it is as light as a feather, easily controlled at will.

At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but think of the scene from the TV series where Sun Wukong continuously enlarged the Cudgel. No wonder the Monkey King was so excited at that time.

The Fortune Cudgel, versatile in size, was truly fascinating.

Of course, this was the dormitory of the Awakening Academy. After extending it to over a meter, Ye Xuan did not make it any larger.

He held it in his hand, feeling very comfortable. It was perfect for subduing those mutated beasts.

After playing with it for a while, Lin Xu called, “Ye Xuan, your friends have arrived. Go to the school gate to receive them.”

Ye Xuan replied directly, “Okay, I got it.”

Then, Ye Xuan hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and the Fortune Cudgel shrank to the size of a needle and flew into his ear on its own.

After taking a few steps, Ye Xuan felt a bit itchy in his ear. He reached up and patted it, and several ear studs fell out.

This ear became the home of the Fortune Cudgel, and it seemed not very satisfied with its new home, so it took the initiative to help Ye Xuan clean his ears…

Two minutes later, Ye Xuan arrived at the school gate, and Long Hanjie rushed up to him.

He gave Ye Xuan a hug and said, “Kid, I thought you were really dead. I didn’t expect you to be alive. Do you know I haven’t slept for several days worrying about you?”

Long Hanjie was not lying. His face was a bit pale, and he even had dark circles under his eyes.

Because China lost Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, two great geniuses, Long Hanjie felt that as the leader of China’s talents, the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.

In order to nurture more talents and relieve the pressure on China in the future, Long Hanjie had taken on more clients in the past few days, making him extremely tired.

It wasn’t until he heard that Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were not dead that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to be on edge.

After embracing Ye Xuan, Long Hanjie asked, “Where’s your wife? Why isn’t she here?”

Ye Xuan explained, “Mengli isn’t feeling well. She’ll come later.”

Long Hanjie nodded, then looked around and said, “Indeed, this is the Magic City. The conditions at this Awakening Academy are better than our academy. By the way, do you guys want a hug?”

Zhou Yun directly said, “Forget it. If Mengli were here, we sisters would hug, but her boyfriend can skip it.”

At this moment, Ye Xuan said, “Don’t just stand here. Come in, I’ll take you around and spend a few days in the Magic City.”

Long Hanjie said, “That’s no problem. But my father-in-law said that when we go back, we have to take you with us. I don’t know if your strength with Mengli has fallen during this time. You are the first on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, don’t let me surpass you!”

Ye Xuan laughed at Long Hanjie’s words and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not that easy for you guys to surpass me.”

During this period in the Magic City, although many things happened, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli’s strength did not decline.

Ye Xuan relied on the Advanced Cultivation Progress Card, and now his ability development class had reached thirty percent, possessing two SS-class abilities. Combined, he should not be inferior to an SSS-class Awakener.

Moreover, although he lost the Hammer of the Thunder God, he gained the Fortune Cudgel. In terms of weapons, he was even stronger than before. How could he become weaker?

As for Su Mengli, her ability development class had increased to twenty percent, and the power of the Flame Red Lotus had greatly increased.

Although Long Hanjie had the help of his father-in-law’s group, he was inevitably slower in progress compared to Ye Xuan and Su Mengli!
