<h4>Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Awakening Superpower: Plunder</h4><h4></h4>


    "Why are you all gathered around me?" Xiao Jinsheng sat upright on the sofa, and there were people seated in three directions around her.


    Even behind the sofa, someone was standing.


    Xiao Jinsheng looked back at Su Ye and said, "Go sit down, don’t stand behind me."


    Huaiqing smiled and replied, "We’re keeping watch nearby so you can call us if you need anything."


    On the Mist Continent, beastmen typically experience a fever when awakening their superpowers.


    They weren’t sure what awakening superpowers for a female would entail, but staying close provided peace of mind.


    Xiao Jinsheng, being afraid of death herself, found that her fear of the unknown outweighed the nervousness of being surrounded by several beast husbands.


    The Flower of Hope transformed into an energy cluster and was gradually absorbed by Xiao Jinsheng bit by bit.


    The power belonging to the Superpower Origin slowly stimted the awakening of the superpower Xiao Jinsheng was destined to have.


    Superpowers on the Mist Continente in various types—not just the traditional categories of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, or traits like speed and strength.


    Thus, relying solely on the color radiated by a superpower is not an urate way to determine its type.


    Looking at the small white cluster of light located in her dantian—a cluster seemingly no different from spiritual power—Xiao Jinsheng felt puzzled too.


    "It seems my superpower has awakened," Xiao Jinsheng said hesitantly.


    It only took five minutes for the Flower of Hope to be absorbed.


    This speed of awakening her superpower made Xiao Jinsheng question whether she had truly seeded in awakening.


    "Your physical condition seems fine." Yu Yunxiao ced a hand on her forehead to check her temperature and then used his healing element superpower to examine her.


    Xiao Jinsheng stared at the small white cluster of light in Yu Yunxiao’s hand. She raised her own hand and summoned a simr cluster of white light in her palm, asking, "Could my superpower also be a healing element?"


    "No." Yu Yunxiao simrly summoned a cluster of white light in his palm andpared it with hers.


    Yu Yunxiao’s healing element white light had a warmer hue.


    On the other hand, Xiao Jinsheng’s white light was purely white.


    "Not only is the brightness different, but we also can’t sense any energy from your superpower." Su Ye, standing behind the sofa, leaned in and poked the perimeter of the white cluster with his fingertip.


    "Let me take a look." Caicai approached curiously.


    Today, Caicai had taken on a different form.


    It had transformed into a green parrot.


    Flying to Xiao Jinsheng’s side, it stretched out its ws and grabbed a fragment of her light cluster, saying, "It really shows no energy fluctuation. I’ll analyze the data and see what it is."


    When beastmen on the Mist Continent awakenedmon superpowers, they could learn how to use them from predecessors.


    If they awakened a special superpower, they often had to figure it out and adapt on their own.


    Having Caicai help with the analysis spared Xiao Jinsheng some trial and error.


    After waiting for a few minutes, Caicai opened its eyes and presented the analysis results.


    It eximed in excitement, "Your superpower is part of the knowledge type!"


    "The knowledge type—isn’t that more of a support type superpower?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.


    "Mist Continent superpowers have only been around for eighty years, so it’s normal to not understand their ssifications," Caicai exined. "In the world my hostes from, superpower ssifications are fully developed into manyrge categories."


    As it spoke, Caicai created a data chart on the spot, categorizing the superpowers of the eight men present into their respectiverge ssifications.


    Yu Yunxiao, 1 type of superpower: Light ss—Healing Element.


    Su Ye, 2 types of superpowers: Enhancement ss—Enhancement; Elemental ss—Invisibility.


    Mo Jiao, 1 type of superpower: Spiritual ss—Illusionary ck Mist.


    Que Zelian, 2 types of superpowers: Elemental ss—Wind, Cloud.


    Huaiqing, 3 types of superpowers: Elemental ss—Water, Wood; Knowledge type—Prophecy.


    Li, 2 types of superpowers: Elemental ss—Fire; Space ss—Domain.


    Shi Xie, 2 types of superpowers: Elemental ss—Water, Ice.


    Chen Yunji, 1 type of superpower: Elemental ss—Elements.


    "There are two things worth noting here—Su Ye and Chen Yunji’s superpowers," Caicai exined.


    "Su Ye’s enhancement-type superpower is a specialized enhancement ability—able to strengthen not only his own powers but also the abilities of weapons he’s bonded to."


    "Chen Yunji’s elemental superpower is the most powerful of its kind. He can harness any element that exists in the world."


    "So, my superpower is ssified as knowledge type. What’s its specific sub-type?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously.


    "In detail, it falls under ’copying,’" Caicai said while raising a wing and gesturing to the eight men present:


    "You can copy their superpowers and use them yourself. This is the most powerful knowledge-type superpower because once upgraded, it evolves into plundering."


    "That means, when your superpower level is low, you can copy someone’s superpower for use without affecting them."


    "But once your superpower is upgraded, you’ll be able to plunder—taking someone else’s superpower permanently. You gain a superpower, and the person you plundered loses theirs."


    "So this is the superpower I was supposed to awaken initially." Xiao Jinsheng was shocked, staring at the pure white cluster of light in her hand. She hadn’t expected it to be so powerful—or even a little unnerving.


    Of course, unnerving to others.


    The pure white cluster appeared to carry no harm whatsoever.


    "Don’t celebrate too soon," Caicai sighed. "Your superpower, widely referred to as ’data maniption’ or ’plunder,’ is essentially abination of ctrl+c, ctrl+v, and ctrl+x. Having this superpower is akin to possessing all superpowers."


    "To bnce such strength, this superpoweres with natural restrictions."


    "Can you confirm what the restrictions are?" Xiao Jinsheng’s grin faltered slightly.


    "It will cause your own superpower levels to decrease. For example, right now you possess two superpowers: one is spiritual power, and the other is plunder. Regardless of whether you copy or plunder someone else’s superpower, your original superpower levels will drop."


    "Moreover, since you’re using your plundering superpower to copy others, any drop in levels will first target the superpowers outside of plundering—like your spiritual power."


    "So essentially, every time I use plundering, my spiritual power level will decrease proportionally to how much the plundering superpower is used, correct?" Xiao Jinsheng confirmed.


    Caicai nodded, "Exactly."


    "Wait—your spiritual power is going to decrease. Why are youughing?" Caicai asked, puzzled, as Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t suppress her grin, even as she bit her lip.


    "Nothing. I just thought of something amusing," Xiao Jinsheng replied.


    "This is the first time I’ve seen such a beneficial restriction," Que Zelian interjected.


    "This restriction is more convenient than my superpower," Chen Yunji said enviously.


    During his two-year ordeal trapped on Snow Peak, he couldn’t recall how many times he had identally injured himself.


    "This isn’t called a restriction—it’s called good fortune~" Xiao Jinsheng showcased the pure white light cluster in her palm, her affection for it unmistakable.


    This! Plundering! It was her good fortune~


    It was no wonder this was the superpower she was destined to awaken—it was perfect for her.


    Because of the terminal restrictions, Xiao Jinsheng hadn’t dared to upgrade her spiritual power.


    But due to Bai Yan, she had to upgrade it to better hear Bai Yan’s and Bai Yan’s system’s thoughts.


    Previously, she had worried about how she’d manage her spiritual power levels if they reached Eleven Stars.


    Now, the problem was solved.


    With her plundering ability awakened, she could confidently upgrade her spiritual power.


    And... she could confidentlymit to working on upgrading her spiritual power too.


    The men present were all thrilled by the "restriction" associated with Xiao Jinsheng’s plundering ability.


    It represented an additional superpower for her, as well as a way to regte her spiritual power levels.


    Knowing the backstory of spiritual power upgrading, Que Zelian nced sideways at Xiao Jinsheng and caught her yful wink in return.


    Que Zelian’s lips curved upward slightly, but his gaze drifted to the notes written in his Star Map schedule.


    Upon seeing that his slot was scheduled for the 3rd, Mo Jiao for the 4th, and after realizing Mo Jiao had been scheduled the previous night, his vision darkened.


    Perfect. No more smiles.
