Very soon.
Yang Fan dressed in black clothes and pants, wore a black hat, black mask plus black gloves, and climbed out from the storeroom window.
He activated the Light Spirit Superpower, pressed his hands against the wall, and like a giant gecko, quickly crawled to the roof of building twelve.
"Woo~"
The cold wind howled by.
Yang Fan stood upright like a pine tree, looked up at the dark night sky, and focused his senses.
After a long time.
He withdrew his gaze, sighed disappointingly: "Still can't sense the third Primordial Star Formation, guess my strength is insufficient."
Yang Fan's gaze turned to the southwest: "Let's go take a look at Tan Lake now."
He spread his arms and directly leaped off the roof of the fifteenth floor.
Yang Fan pushed the Light Spirit Superpower to the limit, seemingly transforming into a falling leaf.
He gracefully flew across the sky, gliding astoundingly over 1,300 meters, adjusting his direction a few times mid-flight, and smoothly drifted towards a distant green space.
The reason for the "jumping off the building" action, partly for speed, partly to evade community cameras.
Since the implementation of the Emergency Bill, under official leadership, more cameras have been installed in communities nationwide.
The leap avoided the most densely camera-populated area.
"Bang!"
Yang Fan landed steadily.
The sound of his feet touching the ground was much quieter than normal footsteps.
He exhaled: "Refreshing!"
This sensation of flying can greatly stimulate adrenaline secretion, producing a unique pleasure.
He suddenly understood why some people are so obsessed with wingsuit flying.
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Physical Superpowers indeed need frequent practice, my control now is much better than at the start."
"Coo~"
The sound of birds chirping suddenly arose.
Yang Fan raised his head, his gaze catching sight of a Night Owl's figure.
This is his developed "night squad," consisting of only three Night Owls.
Ravens and sparrows can only appear during the day, at night they're nearly blind, so he "contracted" several nocturnal birds.
Yang Fan waved his hand, issuing a command: "Go!"
"Coo~"
The Night Owl flapped its wings and took to the sky.
Its role is to act as the vanguard.
Yang Fan can confirm through its vision where cameras are located ahead, thus avoiding being captured by them.
Of course.
Even if accidentally caught, he's completely masked, not worrying about exposing his identity.
Yang Fan turned into a shadowy phantom, swiftly traversing the silent city following the Night Owl.
Before long.
Ahead appeared the first obstacle.
This is a guard outpost, stationed with more than a dozen armed soldiers.
This is also one of the many changes brought by the Emergency Bill.
After Great Xia Kingdom expanded its military by twenty million, cities started constructing guard outposts to guard against unexpected attack events.
Linjiang City has already built more than twenty guard outposts, and more will be built in the future.
He heard from community members that each guard outpost stores heavy weapons.
At this moment.
Yang Fan shared the Night Owl's perspective, clearly seeing numerous cameras arranged around the guard outpost, leaving no blind spots.
On the outer surface of nearby taller buildings, many cameras are directly facing them, climbing up would definitely expose oneself.
He observed for a while and shook his head: "Seems like I can only activate the Light Concealment Superpower..."
Yang Fan suddenly thought of an idea: "There are no cameras directly above the outpost, this is the only blind spot."
He looked up at the night sky: "Maybe there's no need to waste Spiritual Source Points to activate the superpower, I have another way."
Removing one glove, he raised his hand high, quietly sensing the cold wind.
A few seconds later.
Yang Fan smiled: "As I suspected, the architectural layout at this intersection is likely to create crosswind currents."
Sensing subtle changes in airflow is one of the small techniques he discovered while using the Light Spirit Superpower.
The more he uses superpowers, the deeper he realizes that each superpower has many areas for deep exploration.
Yang Fan put on the glove again, resolving with determination: "I'll do it."
He first walked back over two hundred meters, then sprinted along a segment of road, reaching a speed of twenty meters per second.
Converting the unit, it's seventy kilometers per hour.
This is an inhuman speed.
Subsequently.
Yang Fan leaped, into a fierce current.
"Hu~"
His body rose with the wind, first an abnormal ascent of over sixty meters, then gliding over three hundred meters, only then did the altitude slowly decline.
That parabola trajectory just happened to pass right over the guard outpost.
The soldiers inside the outpost remained unaware.
They never imagined someone would evade the outpost surveillance in such a peculiar way.
Yang Fan floated to the roof of a three-story building, his eyes filled with excitement: "Maybe this is how the Light Spirit Superpower should be used."
The recent airborne leap made him feel an inexplicable sense of harmony throughout, as if he'd become the spirit of the wind.
He had a sense of realization, silently muttering: "Panel."
A line of phantom text flashed out.
Light Spirit: Activated, Low Grade Physical Superpower, current Evolution Level is 4%.
Evolution Level increased by 3%!
Yang Fan laughed happily: "Turns out besides allocating points, understanding the true essence of superpowers is also a way to improve."
He smacked his lips: "Perhaps this is the regular way of upgrading superpowers, though the difficulty of understanding seems very high."
Using Spiritual Language for so long, "contracting" nearly a hundred allies, the Evolution Level still remained at 1%, indicating a great difficulty in improving.
Yang Fan mumbled: "Once I save up enough Spiritual Source Points, I'll obediently allocate points."
Why challenge a thorn-covered path when there's an easier way?
*
Over half an hour passed.
Yang Fan, like a ghost, passed through most of Linjiang City and finally saw Tan Lake.
The place is completely shrouded in silence and darkness.
The city hall, to save energy, hadn't lit a single street lamp.
"Coo~"
The Night Owl landed, perched on a branch, curiously probing its head towards its master.
Yang Fan waved his right hand, and a piece of fish meat flew out.
To reward his allies, he'd long prepared plenty of fish pieces, having procured thousands of pounds from Lanjiang, not lacking such a bit of fish.
The Night Owl swiftly caught the fish piece with its beak, delightedly flapping its wings.
Yang Fan shifted his gaze, looking at the frozen lake surface.
He stared intently for a few moments, nodding lightly: "Indeed there's something here."
He clearly sensed that beneath the ice, there's an abundant vitality with countless small lives thriving.
Yang Fan's face expressed shock: "So many?"
He carefully sensed for a moment, roughly estimating a number: "Probably close to twenty million."
He also sensed these small lives' souls harbored nothing but malice towards other creatures.
They longed to absorb the life force of other beings, to satisfy their hungry stomachs.
Yang Fan confirmed his previous suspicion: "These are definitely Giant Poisonous Mosquitoes being nurtured."
Or rather—mosquito eggs.
He chuckled softly: "Unfortunately, I came, you won't have the opportunity to be born."
He motivated the Light Spirit Superpower, stepping through the snow towards the lake.
Each step left only a shallow footprint, unnoticeable from a distance.
Yang Fan glanced down, somewhat pleasantly surprised: "Evolution Level increased by only 3%, yet the effect is this obvious!"
He continued forward, slowly raising his right hand.
A trace of light flickered, the Soul Stealing Wisp instantly emerged in his palm.
The moment his right foot touched the ice, an invisible attraction emanated from the Soul Stealing Wisp.
"Buzz!"
The wisp's body slightly trembled.
Tiny streams of energy, like trickling streams, flowed towards the Soul Stealing Wisp from all directions.
As an alien nurtured by nature, each mosquito egg contains a trace of Spiritual Power.
Yang Fan glanced down at the ice surface, immediately sensing the aura of the mosquito eggs below growing extremely weak.
He naturally understood the extracted energy is crucial to the mosquito eggs, they will never have the chance to nurture Giant Poisonous Mosquitoes.
At the same time.
The Spiritual Source Points on the attribute panel began to soar.
2.9 points!
3.0 points!
3.1 points!
