Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Another Legend Appears

Chen Xuan suddenly felt someone grab him.

Turning his gaze back, he found that it was Su Xingwan. Her lips parted and closed, seemingly anxious to say something, but all Chen Xuan could hear was a buzzing in his ears.

He pointed to his ear and shook his head, then patted the back of her hand, signaling not to be impatient.

Su Xingwan realized, pointing repeatedly to his chest and shoulder.

Chen Xuan followed where she pointed, discovering strange patterns appearing on his body, resembling mosaics made of snowflakes.

This was clearly not a normal phenomenon.

And not just himself, Lin Qing and Gu Zhaoning also had similar patterns on their bodies.

He smiled, let Su Xingwan look at him, and mouthed three words.

It’s, over.

Su Xingwan stood for a moment, then reacted.

She bit her lip slightly, just about to say something when the number of snowflake patterns suddenly increased rapidly, covering everyone in the blink of an eye!

Instinctively, Chen Xuan closed his eyes and stepped back. When he opened them again, he found himself back in the suite.

Lin Qing was the second to wake up; she blinked, turned sideways, and exchanged a smile with him, "A nice adventure, I thought I’d never dream again."

The other two took four or five minutes longer to gradually wake up.

"Ugh... my head’s so dizzy..." Gu Zhaoning slowly sat up, pressing his forehead and letting out a low groan, "Feels like we’ve been in the dream for a long time."

"Actually, it was only about an hour." Chen Xuan replied.

Even outside, the sky was still bright.

"Where’s Su Xingwan?" Gu Zhaoning fumbled to find his friend, "How do you feel?"

The latter was still lying on the carpet, her eyes somewhat dazed, as if not yet fully out of the dream.

"Don’t worry, the source of the nightmare has been cleared, she’ll gradually get better." Chen Xuan comforted.

By the way... has her ability awakened now?

He pinched the rim of his glasses, aimed at Su Xingwan.

The scan results made Chen Xuan shudder.

The previously shown "???" White Ability had already turned colorful!

"Dream Maker" Level 1, Multicolor.

—— "If the Creator is the ruler of the material world, then the Dream Maker is the ruler of the ideal world. Though the latter seems quite miniature, its consumption is often far smaller, usually requiring only a bowl of white rice to satisfy."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Legendary Ability!

Although he had guessed she could fabricate an incredibly real dream, probably related to her ability, he was still caught off guard by its high level.

No wonder Su Xingwan attracted the Shadow Demon, and the Shadow Demon could grow to such a plump extent.

In hindsight, it all made sense now.

Luckily, the Shadow Demon only harms those possessed by it, with very limited combat ability. If it were another Demon Fiend absorbing so much energy, it might have evolved into a Great Demon long ago, making this demon-elimination battle far more challenging.

Another thing that surprised Chen Xuan was the annotation for this Legendary Ability did not contain "non-tradable, non-transferable" instructions.

This means it is tradable!

Such a situation is the first he’s seen.

Before this, he even thought all Legendary Abilities were highly bound to individuals, given the Ability Store owner and Gemini were like this.

With this in mind, Chen Xuan changed the subject, "But... I can’t guarantee she won’t have a relapse in the future."

"Huh?" Gu Zhaoning’s complexion changed slightly, holding his friend’s hand with concern, "But you just said the nightmare’s source has been eradicated..."

"Is it because of my special constitution, right?" Su Xingwan finally spoke slowly.

"That’s correct." Chen Xuan nodded, "Did you sense something?"

"I don’t know how to describe it..." She hesitated, "Before the nightmare ended, I saw all the snowflakes contracted into a ball of light and then drilled into my head. It didn’t feel just like an illusion because when it squeezed in, my whole head felt swollen, even now... it still feels like there’s something in there."

Su Xingwan paused, "Is this the ability you mentioned?"

"You guessed right. It’s related to dreams, so it attracts monsters that feed on dreams." Chen Xuan replied. As for whether the Shadow Demon is a native species of this world or an invasive species accompanying frequent erosion, it’s still unknown, "As long as you have this ability, similar situations may recur."

"Are all Ability Users... like this?"

"No." Chen Xuan answered truthfully, "Not all abilities have pros and cons; the world does have abilities without drawbacks and those with no benefits whatsoever. Whether an awakened person falls into one category or another, it’s a matter of analyzing specific issues specifically."

"You know so much..." Su Xingwan murmured, "Could you be... an Ability User too?"

Chen Xuan nodded.

There’s nothing to hide; since the agency was exposed, abilities are no longer a taboo topic, Beitian Academy also knows his identity as an Ability User.

"No wonder you dared to immediately confirm I wasn’t ill." Su Xingwan sighed deeply, she almost mistook him for a fraudulent person deceiving Ning. "If I have nightmares again in the future, can I ask you for treatment?"

"I can cover her medical expenses!" Gu Zhaoning added.

Chen Xuan deliberately paused, "Actually... there’s a solution to solve this problem once and for all."

The two were equally startled, "Really?"

"Yes, just replace this ability."

Su Xingwan was surprised, "Abilities can be exchanged?"

"Not all abilities can, but yours just happens to be one." Chen Xuan pondered, "And I happen to have a very suitable ability for you, allowing you to steer clear of nightmares for life. However, I must point out, this ability certainly has its risks, but in certain areas it certainly holds some kind of benefit, how you choose is up to you."

He couldn’t deceive too much, even if the opponent is unaware of their ability now, once placed in the trade frame, Su Xingwan can still see the ability description and grade. A trade can only be accomplished if both parties already agree, so the more he tries to fool now, the harder it would be to maintain trust later.

"What kind of benefit?" Su Xingwan inquired.

"I don’t know, after all, I haven’t studied it yet, but the trade’s principle is that both parties benefit, you can decide after seeing the ability."

Chen Xuan said this, reaching into his pocket and pressing the trigger on the scanner gun.

A transparent frame instantly appeared before the two.

"What’s this!?" Su Xingwan gasped, instinctively reaching to touch it, but found the frame was directly projected into her mind, blocking it with her hand in front of her eyes wouldn’t make it disappear.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Zhaoning on the side was oblivious, "Did something happen?"

Chen Xuan placed the two abilities into the frame.

One was "Extraordinary Sleeping Ability" Level 1, which he had just used.

The other was "Dancing Genius" Level 2.

This was his first time using two abilities to trade for one ability, the longer he did business, the more sincere he became.

"Wow, you can see abilities so directly?" Su Xingwan was amazed as if discovering a new continent, "Being able to sleep until morning... this ability is really impressive!"

Despite Gu Zhaoning’s best efforts to open her eyes wide, she saw nothing. "Ugh, what did you see? Why can’t I see it?"

Actually, she had also gone through an ability trade, just with a hidden trade mode, lacking a complete experience.

Su Xingwan quickly grasped the trick, using her mind to place her only ability onto the frame.

On one side was the radiant Legendary Ability, on the other was the white and gray ordinary abilities, anyone could see the difference between the two at a glance.

Yet to Chen Xuan’s surprise, Su Xingwan hardly hesitated and pressed the "agree" button for the trade.

"Are you sure you’re not going to reconsider?" Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"You said earlier, the principle of trade is that both parties benefit, right?" She beamed with a brilliant smile, "I trust you’re not deceiving me. Even if this trade benefits you more, it is deserved... After all, you rescued me from despair. A few hours ago, I was considering ending myself, but now I’m full of the courage to live; just this is enough for me to owe you so much. If this ability can express my gratitude, then it’s the best for me!"
