Chapter 116: Return to Sacred Santiago

  The medicinal power of the Four-Leaf Blue Star Grass directly elevated Lin Xiao's cultivation to the level of a 2nd-stage 6th-rank Martial Artist, and his physical combat strength rapidly increased to 68 points. In addition, due to the increase in his cultivation, his spiritual energy also surged wildly, causing his mental power to start increasing rapidly as well. Now, Lin Xiao's mental power had also reached level 6.

  Facing the rising morning sun, Lin Xiao silently recited the attribute panel in his mind, and instantly a semi-transparent screen appeared before him.

  Host: Lin Xiao

  Gender: Male

  Age: 25

  Rank: Mortal

  Skills: 5th-level motorcycle driving, 6th-level car driving, 4th-level gambling, 7th-level fighting skills, 6th-level mind-reading

  Qigong: Wan Jie Jue (First Layer)

  Physical combat power: 68

  Combat Power: 65

  Equipment combat power: 0

  Comprehensive combat effectiveness: 133

  Status: Excellent (Status divisions: Peak, Excellent, Good, Healthy, Weak, Near Death)

  Equipment: M16A4 rifle, Beretta 92F pistol, Colt pistol

  Lifespan: 25/48

  Energy: 290 (Level 1 Small Thousand Boundary Power)

  160 (Level 2 Small Thousand Boundary Power)

  His physical combat power was 68, his skill combat power was 65, and his comprehensive combat power successfully broke through the hundred mark, reaching 133 points. If Lin Xiao were to engage in close combat with his opponent, his strength would be enough to contend with those whose combat powers exceeded 90.

  In fact, Lin Xiao had always felt that it was a great pity. If Nen wasn't Nen but rather a martial art, then he would be able to fully exert his 133 points of combat strength.

  "It's always been that I haven't systematically learned how to perfectly combine my mental strength with physical power, otherwise with my current combat strength, it would be enough to dominate the entire world before the Black Phoenix awakens." Lin Xiao couldn't help but imagine himself dominating the world, but he quickly shook his head and threw away these unrealistic thoughts.

  It's too early to dominate the world, and besides, his ambition is not here. He came to this world just to obtain Wolverine's ability to extend his lifespan. Until now, he still can't figure out what's going on with his body, which only has a 48-year lifespan. Maybe it's because his cultivation is still low. Lin Xiao thought so.

  It's been almost a month since he left the Huang Quan organization, and Lin Xiao doesn't plan to continue staying in the Amazon rainforest either. What he should do now is not to further improve his already unstable cultivation, but to spend some time stabilizing his current cultivation as much as possible. Otherwise, if he accidentally gets injured and causes his cultivation to regress, who will Lin Xiao cry to?

  "It's back, it's time for me to start my plan!"

  He lifted his head and gazed directly at the sun in the sky, the dazzling light unable to make him close his eyes.

  The sun rises in the east, and everything should start moving now!

  ……

  USA, San Diego.

  A massive clearing in the forest, with people surging forward, Lin Xiao stood proudly in mid-air, wearing a white bone mask made from the skull of a variant black bear, gazing down at the crowd below. Waves of energy that stirred the soul surged forth, ceaselessly spreading outwards in all directions through the air.

  The crowd was eerily silent, hundreds of people standing haphazardly on the grass, before them a row of 9 powerful 3rd-class variants.

  Lin Xiao's current mental strength has already reached the level of a 4th-level variant, and with his actual strength far surpassing this level, he is extremely confident that he can easily subdue these unruly guys.

  But in fact, Lin Xiao did just that.

  Five days ago, he left the Amazon rainforest and returned to Santiago, where he met with the three of them.

  Under the leadership of the three ghosts, Lin Xiao saw those new mutant humans who had just joined the organization, with a total number of more than 200 people. Adding to the original 101 people, the total number of Huangquan organization suddenly exceeded 300.

  This group of new Variants obviously had not seen Lin Xiao, the great leader, and were also unfamiliar with his strength. Although they knew that he could subdue those three powerful 3rd-level Variants, which meant that he himself was definitely a 3rd-level Variant as well, yet they still acted extremely arrogant.

  However, after Lin Xiao released a vast amount of spiritual energy that enveloped everyone, these guys completely calmed down.

  Compared to Magneto's ability to control metal, Lin Xiao's psychic powers were more likely to intimidate this group of mutants. Psychic powers were invisible and colorless, people only felt a terrifying force crushing down on them, as if they would be crushed to pieces the next moment. Compared to controlling a bunch of floating metals behind oneself, it was much easier to use.

  Moreover, in terms of level, metal manipulation can only manipulate metal, whereas psychic power has no such restriction. Although Lin Xiao's current 6th-level psychic power cannot achieve the ability to decompose atoms, he can still control most objects in this world.

  That's why it's not said so absolutely, naturally because some things inherently contain enormous energy, so Lin Xiao is also powerless.

  After subduing this group of unruly younger brothers, Lin Xiao inquired about the several 3rd-level variant humans mentioned by the Earth Ghost on the phone. After getting the Earth Ghost's affirmative answer and their specific addresses and appearances, Lin Xiao set off the next day.

  It only took a day for six powerful 3rd-level variant humans to surrender under his command. Originally, there were only five, but Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel that his luck was exceptionally good. When he found one of the 3rd-level variant humans, the other party happened to be meeting an old friend, who coincidentally was also a 3rd-level variant human. Thus, Lin Xiao took both of them under his command without hesitation.

  Of course, in the process, there were also encounters with people who had a bad temper and refused to obey. When encountering such situations, Lin Xiao slightly exerted his skills, and even peeling skin and extracting tendons didn't need to be used, and the other party immediately surrendered. This made Lin Xiao secretly sigh that he hadn't played enough yet!

  Having subdued this batch of subordinates, the variant humans within Santiago's domain were almost extinct. The remaining 1st-level variant humans didn't even bother Lin Xiao to subdue them. Maybe in the future when his foundation was more solid, he would recruit some 1st-level variant humans as cannon fodder, but definitely not now.

  Standing in mid-air, Lin Xiao looked down at his team, especially the nine 3rd-level variant humans at the front, and suddenly felt a surge of pride.

  Apart from the six mutants who were previously subdued in Los Angeles, namely Di Gui, Qi Yao and Dao Mo, the remaining six mutants were referred to by Lin Xiao as: Shui Yao, Gui Ying, Teng Mo, Jing Yao, Jin Gang and Ju Ren.

  The combat strength of the six people had all exceeded 50 points, with the strongest, Jīn Gāng, having already reached a combat strength of 59 points, pressing right up against the edge of being a 4th-level variant person. Perhaps if he was given a few more years, he would become another 4th-level variant person. At that time, he was also the one least willing to submit to Lín Xiāo. However, after being disciplined by Lín Xiāo for a while, he became much more obedient.

  ...ps: A new week has begun, and last week's update didn't even reach 1,000 votes, which is quite depressing. However, Mí Jiè knows that this is because his writing isn't good enough yet, so he will work hard to strive for most of the readers who have collected his work to give him their recommendation tickets. This is today's first chapter.
