Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

But just above the villas built within this valley, several figures flew into the villas at a rapid speed.

Inside one of the villas.

”Shadow, my lord, do you really believe that guy will give you any good elixir?” Ivan frowned.

”Yeah, it might be some kind of poison!” Edward shook his head.

Shadow stood in the courtyard, frowning, holding a small black pill in his hand, looking complicated.

”If he really wanted to kill us, he could have acted directly at the clubhouse back then, why waste so much time?” said Shadow.

Edward and Ivan were silent; indeed, at the clubhouse, with Lin Mo’s ability, he could have killed them on the spot, so why go through the trouble of using poison?

”Maybe he’s afraid of our Superpower Alliance’s strength,” Edward suddenly said.

The Superpower Alliance, a power group formed by superpower users, has strong influence and prestige on the Western Continent; even some major families and official sectors cooperate with the Superpower Alliance.

Offending the Superpower Alliance will be met with a hunt by all superpower users within it, so almost no one dares to provoke those in the Superpower Alliance.

Shadow showed a bitter expression: ”You underestimate his resolve. If he wishes to kill me, no power can stop him.”

Recalling Lin Mo’s fearless and even excited demeanor when facing his strongest moves, Shadow determined that Lin Mo hadn’t used his full strength at all, an assurance only a superpower might have.

”Moreover, after this injury, even if I strive in cultivation to halve the recovery time, it will still take five or six years to return to peak condition. After my strength diminished, I fear I have no qualification to remain in the Superpower Alliance,” Shadow sighed.

”Now, I have only this path to take.”

With that, Shadow opened his mouth and swallowed the pill Lin Mo had given him.

”Lord Shadow.”

”Lord Shadow.”

Ivan and Edward could no longer stop him.

”If Lord Shadow shows any anomalies, immediately notify the Lord Manager,” Ivan frowned.

After swallowing the elixir, Shadow sat on a stone slab, emitting a faint blue aura, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead as if under the impact of a tremendous force, showing a pained expression.

”I just knew Lin Mo didn’t mean any good. I’ll immediately notify the Lord Manager, Ivan, you stay here and watch over Lord Shadow.”

After finishing, Edward dashed out of the villa, leaping toward the center of the villa group.

”What, you say Shadow is injured and took poison?”

A middle-aged man, his head closely shaved and beard scruffy, widened his eyes.

Edward knelt on one knee, saying, ”Lord Manager, Lord Shadow is now in danger, please help.”

The middle-aged man before him was one of the Three Giants of the Superpower Alliance, standing below the Vice President and President, an existence infinitely close to sss-level superpower holders, capable of sweeping through ss-level users, and could engage in battle with normal sss-level users.

”Come with me to take a look.”

No sooner had the Manager spoken, he had vanished from the spot.

”Such speed.” Edward stood up; facing this mighty being, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.

The two soon arrived at the villa where Shadow was.

At this moment, Shadow’s skin was showing a strange red color, rolling on the ground, seeming to endure an unbearable torment.

”Ah!” Shadow opened his mouth, emitting a low roar from his throat.

Two dark shadows landed one after the other in the villa courtyard.

”Lord Manager.” Ivan immediately knelt on one knee.

Dan Dun glared with wide, tiger-like eyes, staring at the writhing Shadow on the ground, solemnly demanding, ”What exactly is going on here?”

Suddenly.

The entire body, previously flushed with an eerie red, suddenly calmed down, the red marks on his body faded away like receding tides, and his skin returned to its original color.

Shadow was already drenched in sweat, his face pale, yet he seemed to sense a strange energy, respectfully saying, ”Lord Manager.”

”Lord Shadow, you...” Ivan said suspiciously.

Shadow clenched his fists excitedly, saying, ”My strength has recovered more or less; in less than a year I can return to peak state, and I feel like my potential has once again been tapped into.”

”Hmm?”

”Explain to me in detail exactly what happened.” Dan Dun sternly demanded.

Shadow immediately recounted the entire sequence of events and all about Lin Mo to Dan Dun.

”A mysterious strongman from the Eastern world?” Dan Dun muttered to himself, then widened his eyes, ”Damn, he has contact with the Paul Family.”

”Shadow, you come with me to the laboratory.” Dan Dun said, immediately pressing a delicate high-tech watch bound to his wrist.

The Superpower Alliance cooperates with official sectors, and in addition to superpower users beyond level a being allocated villas, each month, based on level and contribution, they are given some energy crystals, similar to sect organizations in the Cultivation World.

Apart from these, the Superpower Alliance also has professional scientists studying the human body, with the world’s most precise and advanced instruments.

In a silver room, with silver floors, silver walls, and several truck-sized machines displayed inside, showing various symbols like flowing water.

”Conduct a potential test on Shadow.” Dan Dun frowned and said to a scientist in a white coat.

Immediately, Shadow walked to something like a massage chair and sat down. The scientist took out a blue helmet for him to wear; upon entering the Superpower Alliance, everyone undergoes a potential test.

Although not always accurate, there’s a seventy percent chance of judging a superpower user’s future growth potential. Based on potential value, the Superpower Alliance offers corresponding training and energy crystal distribution.

About five minutes later, a set of data appeared in the scientist’s hand.

”Lord Manager, according to our test, Lord Shadow’s potential seems to have improved once again, reaching a potential value of 5, capable of attaining sss-level superpower user status,” a scientist answered.

Shadow, Ivan, Edward, and Dan Dun were all stunned.

Shadow entered the Superpower Alliance five years ago; at that time, during his first test, his potential value capable of reaching sss-level superpower was 2. The higher the potential value, the greater the chance of becoming an sss-level superpower in the future, with the total potential value generally being 10.

Moreover, potential value is something innate, with only a few individuals capable of increasing it through some postnatal stimulation or fortuitous encounters.

Ivan and Edward both couldn’t help wishing Lin Mo would come and punch them too and give them an elixir.
