My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 122 - 121: I Am the Celestial Emperor

"You really are the Superpower Knight!" The middle school student stared at Lv Bai with shining eyes.

"To be honest, I don’t know any Superpower Knight. I was born way before that."

Lv Bai took a sip of his soda, speaking in a tone resembling a recitative: "In the past, chaos reigned, and the heavens and earth were not divided. It was vast and unseen. Since Pangu broke the vastness and established the separation of clarity and turbidity..."

The two middle school students sat on their small stools, looking increasingly excited.

Though they could barely understand what he meant, this only made Lv Bai seem more mysterious and powerful.

"And then? What happened next?" one of the students couldn’t help but ask.

"... I walked the earth, saw the world desolate and barren, so I called myself the Desolate. I spread the gospel among ancient people, and slowly, people began to call me the Celestial Emperor..."

...You could say I, Emperor Huang, have done right by everyone, except for Yun Yun in Xingdou Great Forest. It’s all Yunshan’s fault for arranging the marriage, insisting that Yun Ling marry Xiaowu, which led to Tangshan stealing Shi Hao’s million-year Soul Ring to save Xiaowu. Otherwise, Shi Hao would be nine red and one blue-gold...

...Gradually, I grew tired of these trivial matters and decided to disappear. But because I had made a pact with the earliest humans, the Illuminati later concealed my deeds, internally calling me the Ancient Dominator."

The two middle school students patiently listened to Lv Bai’s "self-introduction."

The student nicknamed Chicken Neck looked a bit peculiar.

He subtly nudged the mischievous friend next to him, whose face was flushed with excitement.

Seeing that his friend seemed to believe it wholeheartedly, Chicken Neck quietly countered, "Uh, honestly, doesn’t this sound a bit far-fetched?"

Even though Chicken Neck was a middle school student with excellent grades, it was hard for him to buy into what Lv Bai was saying, despite witnessing his otherworldly actions.

But,

"Master! Please, I’ve always dreamed of studying under a master since I was a kid. I’ve finally met you, please accept me as your disciple!"

The other middle school student was entirely accepting of the setting, so excited that he wanted to kneel immediately and give Lv Bai three respectful bows to become his apprentice.

Lv Bai was pleased with this reaction, patting the student’s head and laughing lightly, "This is what they call an Immortal touching my head, receiving longevity with knotted hair."

Chicken Neck saw his friend shake with excitement upon hearing those words and gently tugged at him, "Duck Neck, calm down."

However, before Duck Neck could calm down from his exhilaration, a shout came from outside the shop.

"Oi!"

Looking toward the direction of the voice, they noticed a group of three people arriving at the small shop entrance.

Chang Hu leaned back slightly, extending his right hand at a forty-five-degree angle, "What are you guys chatting about?"

Lv Bai lazily picked up the remaining half-bottle of soda, filled a disposable paper cup in front of him, and commented cheerfully, "Daring to show up in front of me now, that takes courage."

The middle schooler nicknamed Chicken Neck hadn’t realized what was happening yet, while Duck Neck quickly pushed his friend down.

In a voice trembling with both fear and excitement, he whispered, "Look, once the ancient Emperor Huang showed up, the enemies came knocking. These guys must be the combatants referred to as Death Fighters in the Illuminati."

"Heh heh."

Chang Hu grinned, "I hadn’t planned on coming, but someone wanted to meet you."

As he spoke, he gestured with his head toward the spectacled man on his left, then quietly stepped back two steps.

In fact, although Chang Hu appeared to act carelessly, he was overwhelmingly cautious, always ensuring an escape plan in advance.

He didn’t trust the spectacled man, even though they were nominally partners.

The spectacled man was well aware of this but remained indifferent, even taking a step forward.

He calmly raised his gaze and spoke with neither arrogance nor humility, "The online opinions, videos, and photos about you, and the pressure applied on the Special Affairs Bureau from official levels, were all results of my guidance."

The spectacled man scrutinized Lv Bai’s expression, attempting to discern any emotional change.

But there was none.

It’s said that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

But he couldn’t detect even the slightest emotional fluctuation in Lv Bai’s gaze.

Only a subtle hint of inner joy?

Damn it, is this Smiling Face in the alphabet circle?!

Guan Shen adjusted the frame on his nose, steadied his mind, and continued, "I must admit, your strength defies reason, forcing me to collaborate with the remaining Death Fighters to take you down."

The smile on Lv Bai’s face grew even more gentle.

He rested his elbow on the shop’s glass counter, cradling his chin in his palm, "So, at this moment?"

Guan Shen replied calmly, "There are nearly forty Death Fighters gathered around this small shop. You could try and see if you can still fly."

As if to respond to Guan Shen’s words.

The next second, invisible telekinesis dismantled the top and walls of the small shop, followed by an eerie wave that turned the shattered bricks into dust.

A considerable amount of building powder fell irregularly, turning the shop into an open-air stall within moments.

Glancing around, one could see at least twenty or more Death Fighters, and shadowy figures could be glimpsed by some eaves.

Considering there were supposed to be nearly forty Death Fighters, it probably wasn’t an exaggeration.

Lv Bai attempted to hover for a moment, feeling a heavy force pressing him down. The higher he rose, the more intense the pressure, indicating some sort of anti-flight force was present in this area.

Realizing this, he returned to the ground, and suddenly turned to look toward Guan Shen and Chang Hu, his teeth chattering with disbelief, "Ma...Masaka?!"

Seeing this, Chang Hu was about to mock but saw Lv Bai’s expression regain his consistently gentle smile and said with a chuckle.

"Just kidding, since everyone’s here..."

As soon as the cooldown for [Five Immortals Seek Titles] hit zero, he quickly shifted the anchor point to Duck Neck.

In an instant, an endless surge of power flooded out like a tide.

"Stop with the theatrics!"

Chang Hu wasn’t sure about Lv Bai’s source of confidence and decided to make a move to test it.

His left hand condensed into a bone axe over two meters in diameter, connected by a fleshy tendon, swinging it overhead, then fiercely chopping toward Lv Bai.

Lv Bai raised his right hand, as Long Teeth extended a blade in his grasp.

Clang!

A piercing clashing sound rang out.

The slender blade held steady against the bone axe’s formidable blow, giving the scene a sense of defying physics.

Lv Bai flicked his wrist, parrying the giant axe, and took a step forward.

In that instant, the sky turned from bright to dark, with gales howling and storm clouds rolling in.
