Yue Bay District.
Yang Fan patiently waited for a while, as a crow swooped past the district.
The Soul Stealing Wisp returned instantly.
He finally saw the spoils from hunting the mutant rat.
[Superpower]
Spiritual Language: Activated, Low grade Mental Superpower, currently evolution level is 1%.
Light Spirit: Activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, currently evolution level is 1%.
Light Concealment: Unactivated, Low grade Mixed Superpower, activation requires consumption of 1 Spiritual Source Value.
[Energy]
Spiritual Source Value: 1.4
Yang Fan looked at "1.4 Spiritual Source Value" and couldn't help but complain: "That fool Huangmao is not just worse than a dog, he's not even as good as a rat."
He glanced at the new superpower he acquired, clicking his tongue in wonder: "A hybrid superpower? There's actually a superpower involving both the mental and physical elements, that's interesting.
"It seems the mutant rat's invisibility ability involves more than just color-changing fur; there's some mystery involving spiritual power.
Yang Fan considered this for a moment and shook his head: "I don't seem to need invisibility right now, so for the time being..."
A sudden inspiration struck him: "Mental Superpower and Physical Superpower can be fused into Mixed Element Superpower, I wonder if Spiritual Language and Light Concealment can be merged?"
Yang Fan was just thinking about it, and his heart leaped.
If the little brothers contracted by superpowers can use the unique invisibility ability of the mutant rat, wouldn't that be amazing?
More than amazing.
It's simply mind-blowing!
Yang Fan excitedly muttered to himself: "If it's really possible, then all my little brothers would be invisible assassins coming and going without a trace!"
Imagine it.
An invisible crow grabbing a bomb and dropping it on the head of a monster, isn't this image incredibly beautiful?
What?
You ask if the bomb can be invisible?
Nonsense!
Superpower is a form of supernatural power, making a mere bomb invisible is an easy task, isn't it?!
Yang Fan took a deep breath, gripped the Soul Stealing Wisp in his right hand, and tentatively muttered: "Fusion Superpower."
"Buzz!"
The artifact trembled.
An information stream appeared in his mind out of nowhere: "Spiritual Language Superpower and Light Concealment Superpower can be fused, fusion requires consumption of twelve Spiritual Source Points, currently insufficient Spiritual Source Points."
It really can be done!
Yang Fan's heart was filled with joy: "I understand now, this is the right way to unlock the Soul Stealing Wisp.
"Previously I thought that constantly hunting mutant creatures to gather too many low grade superpowers didn't seem very useful.
"Now it seems I was wrong, low grade superpowers can be used as fusion materials, as long as there are enough materials, a very powerful superpower can definitely be synthesized.
"From a fusion perspective, mixed element superpowers have the advantages of both types of superpowers, the most powerful superpower must be a mixed element superpower."
Yang Fan lowered his head to gaze at the Soul Stealing Wisp: "I greatly underestimated the potential of this item before, it is definitely a divine artifact!"
He suppressed his excitement: "I need to find a way to gather more Spiritual Source Value to quickly fuse the two superpowers."
Currently, there aren't many mutant creatures, only relying on killing dogs and rats might not reach twelve points even after two months.

Shangjing City.
Secret Base.
General Lou played another video for the Mermaid.
The video was about a near riot situation in Yue Bay District, with electric currents paralyzing hundreds of people.
General Lou explained: "At the time, the community was experiencing a power outage, it's certain this is related to superpowers."
The Mermaid nodded: "Indeed."
General Lou turned the topic: "We also found a coincidence, the Crow Beast Tamer's crow had appeared on the scene."
His old eyes carried a hint of expectation: "Miss Jana, do you think..."
The Mermaid interrupted: "I've said before, warriors cannot awaken dual superpowers, this is an iron rule of the Primordial World, and there cannot be exceptions on Canglan Star.
"Based on the Mei Jia Civilization's experience, given your Canglan Star's potential, it would take at least ten years to produce the first Dual Superpower User.
"I personally judge that the electric current is most likely the effect of some kind of deceitful artifact, the beast tamer is likely to be the holder of this artifact.
"You're aware deceitful artifacts carry negative effects; the beast tamer vastly misuses the artifact, naturally he will pay a corresponding price, greatly damaging the superpower's potential."
General Lou sighed: "I understand."
The Mermaid changed the topic: "Yesterday I discussed the Physical Superpower and Mental Superpower, today let's talk about Hybrid Superpowers."
General Lou perked up his ears, listening very intently.
The Mermaid spoke gently: "On the surface, Hybrid Superpowers seem to have the advantages of both types, in reality, this is the biggest issue.
"Using your Great Xia People's words, it's diverse but not refined, lacking a truly strong decisive move.
"According to our Mei Jia Civilization's experience, the higher the rank, the fewer strong beings among Hybrid Superpower users..."

Maritime Province.
Accompanied by the engine's roaring.
The tires of a large passenger plane's landing gear touched the runway, and the aircraft began to jolt violently.
This sensation is very uncomfortable, yet Zhao Hengping couldn't suppress showing a big smile: "Finally, I'm back."
He was born in Tintera, grew up in Tintera, and although he speaks Great Xia language, he's only been to Great Xia three times, totaling less than a month.
But now he says, "I'm back."
This isn't deliberate.
Zhao Hengping truly feels a kind of inexplicable call from the heart, giving him a sense of "a wanderer returning home."
His wife Alena, or Zhao Aixia, with a face still showing charm, bloomed with a brilliant smile: "Honey, we're safe."
She glanced through the window a few times and whispered: "The airport over in Tintera always seemed to have security personnel everywhere, Great Xia's airport doesn't seem to have many."
This stark contrast is enough to explain everything.
A lot of security personnel indicates that social order is collapsing, thus the airport is forced to strengthen security forces to maintain normal operations.
Zhao Hengping nodded: "Great Xia is vast, disasters are far more numerous than in Tintera, yet social order remains very well maintained."
Zhao Aixia laughed: "I like Great Xia!"
Their eldest daughter, Zhao Xiaoying, hearing the constant praise of Great Xia from her parents, secretly pouted.
Humph!
Always saying this and that is good about Great Xia, but returning here without a house to live in, still having to wait for official allocation.
Soon.
The passenger plane came to a stop.
The cabin door opened, an embarkation ladder was pushed over, and the passengers began lining up to disembark.
Zhao Xiaoying stood at the cabin door and glanced outside, perplexed: "Such a large airport, how come there aren't any boarding bridges?"
She stepped onto the ladder's steps and complained: "I thought only outdated facilities at small airports use ladders for boarding."
A nearby elderly passenger answered her question: "This airport used to have boarding bridges, but now the airport's electricity is restricted."
Zhao Xiaoying pursued: "Why?"
The elderly passenger didn't answer but laughed instead: "Young lady, shouldn't you have lived overseas long-term and aren't quite familiar with matters here in Great Xia?"
Zhao Xiaoying nodded: "Yes."
The elderly passenger said "No wonder," then replied: "In response to a food crisis, Great Xia is constructing indoor farms on a large scale.
"Indoor farms' electricity demand is prioritized as the highest, Great Xia is currently restricting electricity supply nationwide to ensure farms have enough power."
Zhao Xiaoying couldn't help but say: "How much grain can indoor farms grow?"
The elderly passenger smiled: "An indoor farm indeed doesn't grow much grain."
He immediately retorted: "But what if it's one million, two million farms?"
Zhao Xiaoying was stumped.
The elderly passenger continued: "Each additional grain Great Xia harvests may mean one less Great Xia person might die in future disasters."
Zhao Xiaoying remained silent.
Zhao Hengping was a bit stirred and gave a thumbs up to the elderly passenger: "Great Xia is a great country."
Zhao Aixia nodded repeatedly.
The elderly passenger smiled: "Welcome back to Great Xia."
