My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 61 - 60: Target Mission

Inside the Staff Department’s office hall, the walls were shattered, tables and chairs overturned, and looking around was like a scene of devastation.

Severed limbs were everywhere, and even the fallen documents on the ground were soaked with blood.

The air was thick with the smell of blood, so strong it seemed to almost become tangible.

From the moment Lv Bai tore through the encirclement, within just a few minutes, only five or six scattered people were left standing in the scene.

Yan Zhiquan looked at the corpses everywhere, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Lü... Brother Lü, can we talk?"

"?"

Lv Bai stopped his action, slowly raised a pair of eagle pistols in his left hand, aiming at Yan Zhiquan.

With a smile still on his face: "If the next nine bullets in my gun all jam, then we can talk."

Facing the dark barrel, Yan Zhiquan’s heart instantly sank.

Although he noticed that the Mauser occasionally had no bullets, it’s unrealistic to think it would jam nine times in a row.

So to Yan Zhiquan, this clearly sounded like a refusal.

"Hmph..." Yan Zhiquan snorted coldly, maintaining the [Star Realm Body] state, stepping back two steps towards the door: "You’ve been dodging before, you probably aren’t confident in taking me down, right?"

Bam!

Lv Bai responded by directly firing a shot.

A wisp of smoke rose from the barrel, and the pungent smell of gunpowder could be smelled.

The bullet hit flesh, Yan Zhiquan staggered back a step, sucking in cold air from the pain.

After all, the weakness of the [Star Realm Body] is too obvious; if he can’t make up for the lack of flexibility, it’s often less useful than the Silver Level ability.

"Fool! You’re just a sitting duck now."

Fei Xiao couldn’t stand it anymore and cursed loudly.

He turned to Lv Bai and said, "Brother Lü, right? My request isn’t much, just let me leave and I promise I won’t come after you again."

Meanwhile, he pulled Xiao Xueyin in front of himself, indicating he still held a hostage.

Lv Bai didn’t even glance at Fei Xiao, continuing to fire at Yan Zhiquan, only subtly inching towards the window.

Not until Yan Zhiquan’s body was riddled with holes, collapsing limply on the ground, did he stop pulling the trigger.

Having dealt with this guy, Lv Bai leisurely turned to look at Fei Xiao by the window.

"Sorry, I didn’t quite catch what you said earlier, so I plan to refuse."

Fei Xiao’s eyelids twitched, feeling the logic of this wasn’t quite right.

However, faced with the situation, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction, pinching Xiao Xueyin’s neck as a reminder: "He should be your companion, right?"

Though not explicitly stated, Fei Xiao’s intentions were clear.

Lv Bai nodded, with a smile on his face, but his tone was very calm: "Please go ahead."

"Fine, fine, fine."

Fei Xiao, enraged, smiled bitterly and made a move to first deal with Xiao Xueyin.

Lv Bai suddenly stepped forward, leaning his body in, and keeping his back straight.

[Flash Time] quietly activated, everything around froze, even time seemed to stagnate, leaving only him able to move freely.

With extreme speed, he crossed the distance, 0.5 seconds passing in a flash.

Lv Bai exerted force from his waist, half-turned his body, swung the sword, barely letting the tip of Eight-sided Han Sword slash towards Fei Xiao’s right arm.

Swoosh~

The sword light flashed, stirring up a sound of slicing through the air.

Having lost the support, Fei Xiao’s arm and Xiao Xueyin nearly simultaneously fell to the ground; Xiao Xueyin, already severely injured, was now at almost a life-threatening level.

Still, there remained a breath.

"You really can dodge."

Lv Bai stepped over Xiao Xueyin on the ground, and with interest, he examined Fei Xiao.

In fact, he initially aimed for a beheading, only reserving some strength for a move change.

As expected, the moment he activated [Flash Time], he saw Fei Xiao releasing his grip and attempting to retreat.

This was an exaggerated anticipation, precisely reacting in the zero-something seconds before Lv Bai activated [Flash Time].

In a normal fight, this kind of anticipation could fully seize the advantage.

Unfortunately, facing an ability like [Flash Time] with its level of rule-breaking, the strongest anticipation could only barely avoid being killed on the first encounter.

Fei Xiao groaned, holding back not to cry out in pain.

Having lost his right arm, it could be said he was now defeated, he could only stare deadly at Lv Bai, speaking word by word.

"I’ll remember you, this time... count yourself lucky, better pray you won’t meet me next time."

"Alright." Lv Bai responded with a kind smile.

Whoosh!

Fei Xiao presented a resigned look, then suddenly spat out a jujube seed nail, aiming directly at Lv Bai’s forehead.

Clang～

Eight-sided Han Sword lifted upwards, accurately slicing the jujube seed nail, the collision even sparked some embers.

Then swiftly slashing down a sword, eliminating Fei Xiao from the game.

"Didn’t I say? Ambushes won’t work."

Lv Bai’s expression remained unchanged, seemingly unsurprised.

He turned the Eight-sided Han Sword in his hand horizontally, wiped it clean on Fei Xiao’s clothes, and then turned to help Xiao Xueyin up.

Although he had not been with Xiao Xueyin for long, Lv Bai considered him a useful auxiliary attachment, and naturally wouldn’t leave him to die.

He briefly examined Xiao Xueyin’s injuries. The wound was manageable, but the main issue was excessive blood loss.

Blood transfusion was not something Lv Bai could provide, so he looked around.

Yan Zhiquan lay on the ground, bullet holes all over his body, only the faint rise and fall of his chest indicated he was still alive.

The man with the bat tattoo and the man in the black vest stood together, neither attacking nor fleeing, just silently watching.

Downstairs, the "Hulk" was still fiercely battling Er Bao, with frequent roars and sounds of smashing resonating.

"Do you have any healing ability?"

Lv Bai suddenly looked toward the door and asked.

Liu Yue, hiding at the door with only her head peeking out, shivered.

She cautiously moved half her body out from behind the door: "Huh? Well, I was just doing what you said, keeping watch on the Iron Man, I don’t know anything else."

Lv Bai: "..."

He adjusted his emotions and repeated the question.

Liu Yue was evidently still in a state of extreme shock, responding incoherently: "Are you talking about me? I don’t have, I don’t have any healing ability, you know that, it’s just Immortal Jump, Position Transformation..."

Lv Bai didn’t listen further, and turned to look at the duo in the corner of the hall.

The man in the black vest seemed calm, and shook his head: "Few Death Fighters choose healing abilities."

This was true. Death Fight duels were essentially individual competitions, and typically, improving one’s combat ability took precedence.

At worst, one might choose abilities like [Super-speed Regeneration] that increase personal fault tolerance.

Supernatural healing abilities were clearly out of reach.

So it’s better to be practical.

Lv Bai tore off Xiao Xueyin’s shirt without considering the risk of infection, simply performed a bit of hemostasis, and began bandaging.

Due to his unfamiliar actions, Xiao Xueyin had already fainted from pain during this time.

After finishing, Lv Bai wiped his blood-covered hands on Xiao Xueyin’s pants a couple of times.

Watching this scene, Liu Yue felt slightly at ease.

Initially, she was indeed shocked by Lv Bai’s terrifying combat power, but she wasn’t as incoherent as she appeared.

That frightened look was mostly an act to hide her inability to gauge Lv Bai’s intentions.

"I remember you’re supposed to be with the Investigation Corps, right?"

Lv Bai rubbed his hands, raising his eyes towards the pair in the corner.

The implication, naturally, was to ask why the two hadn’t acted or fled, what were they up to?

Upon hearing this, the bat tattoo man and the black vest man exchanged a glance.

Then the black vest man said deeply: "We’re planning to follow you."

The bat tattoo man considered his words, adding: "If you noticed, you’d realize I didn’t even attack you."

Lv Bai tilted his head slightly, signaling them to continue.

"You plan to complete the mission, right?"

Seeing Lv Bai didn’t object, the bat tattoo man continued: "There are two ways to end the Death Fight duel. Since you’ve chosen to save people, you’re likely not opting to eliminate all Death Fighters, and since you aim to complete the mission, you probably wouldn’t mind extra help.

Don’t worry I’m plotting anything. Everyone knows I always disliked Duan Jianhui. I never sincerely joined this crappy Investigation Corps anyway..."

After a long spiel, the main point was essentially to join if you can’t beat them.

Besides, having previously followed Duan Jianhui, as long as you’re strong enough, changing leaders wouldn’t be a problem for them.

Lv Bai pondered for two seconds and said: "Duan Jianhui is still alive."

Bat tattoo man: "..."

The bat tattoo man coughed awkwardly a couple of times, managing his expression before speaking seriously: "Even if Duan Jianhui were here, I’d still say the same."

With this little interjection, the atmosphere between them became much lighter.

Lv Bai unconsciously smiled, without any mockery or coldness, exuding positive energy.

In the eyes of those two, it naturally conveyed acceptance.

The man in the black vest, laughing along, approached Lv Bai, and promptly said: "But Brother Lv, shouldn’t we find a way to eliminate Duan Jianhui first?"

"Uh...indeed, it’s best to resolve such uncertainties quickly." Yaro, feeling a bit uncomfortable, was still young and couldn’t match the middle-aged man in the black vest’s shamelessly eager attitude.

"No worries, I’m terrifyingly strong now."

Lv Bai stood up, handed the unconscious Xiao Xueyin to Liu Yue, and quickly walked over to the life-or-death Zhou Zongming’s side, squatting down: "Still alive, Company Commander Zhou?"

Of the two mission completion methods, if possible, Lv Bai preferred rebuilding order.

For rebuilding order, Zhou Zongming was evidently an ideal entry point.

Seeing the unresponsive Company Commander Zhou, Lv Bai flipped him like an egg with a hand.

"Ugh..." Zhou Zongming emitted a hoarse groan subconsciously.

Having survived owed much to Liu Yue timely drawing attention from the "Hulk."

Nonetheless, Zhou Zongming’s vital signs were extremely worrying.

He was riddled with fractures, internal organ damage was unclear, and without assistance, he’d likely be immobile.

Let’s hope the doctors in this temporary shelter possess exceptional medical skills.

Lv Bai looked around, then dismantled a somewhat intact office desk’s surface, turning to the duo: "I appreciate your help."
