My Ability Pool is Superior

“Get out of the way!”

On the street of Heping Branch Road, two men covered in blood were shouting while pushing through the pedestrians in front of them.

Behind them, a large group of thugs holding weapons were chasing relentlessly.

A rough count of heads showed no fewer than a hundred people.

The passersby along the way were not afraid of such street slashing, just somewhat surprised as they retreated a few steps to watch the excitement.

The two men fleeing for their lives looked panicked, their eyes filled with intense fear, running wildly ahead without regard for direction.

Under their influence, the street was thrown into chaos, with the confusion gradually intensifying.

Black Mole Xiang knew that fleeing like this wouldn’t work. After violently pushing through a crowd, he immediately grabbed the henchman beside him and turned into the nearby alley.

They then ran wildly for another stretch until they reached a very remote depth, finally stopping, leaning against the wall and panting heavily.

“Damn it! Looks like we’re really done for this time.”

Black Mole Xiang punched the wall behind him, steadied his mind, and turned to look at the only henchman who had escaped with him.

He comforted, “Huff~ Xiao Li, huff, your loyalty to me is all seen by me, Old Xiang, huff… Don’t worry, as long as we keep our lives, what worry is there about not rising again!”

Xiao Li grinned, but it pulled at his wound, making him draw in a sharp breath.

“Hiss… That’s right, Brother Xiang, I believe in you. When you rise again, I’ll still be your henchman.”

Before they could finish speaking, they noticed a figure that appeared out of nowhere at the alley entrance.

Blocking the alley entrance was a youth who looked harmless. He had a white cape similar to a naval one draped over his shoulders, fluttering in the wind.

Lu Bai turned around, showing them the back of the cape.

It bore two bold and flourishing characters—Evil.

Black Mole Xiang swallowed hard. Though he couldn’t understand what Lu Bai meant, he inexplicably felt that the newcomer was dangerous.

“Pretty distinctive, right? I plan to use this as the organization’s uniform.”

Lu Bai turned back with a chuckle: “This new organization, I plan to call it All Villains.”

“You…”

Hearing this, Black Mole Xiang immediately realized Lu Bai’s identity: “Could you be the Brother Bai that White Shark mentioned?”

If it was a martial artist, no matter how lacking in aggressiveness Lu Bai’s appearance seemed, Black Mole Xiang wouldn’t dare act rashly.

“That’s me.”

Lu Bai nodded.

With the affirmative reply, Black Mole Xiang had no more illusions, his expression visibly becoming complicated.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath and said: “Fine, you’ve got skills. I, Old Xiang, admit defeat. But I really can’t understand—since you’re already a martial artist, why get involved in struggles at our level?”

Lu Bai tilted his head slightly: “Because White Shark was crying poor to me a few days ago.”

Such an answer left Black Mole Xiang somewhat amused and exasperated.

However, having mixed around Chikan Bay for so many years, he knew when to yield and bow his head, never stubbornly holding on for face.

He decisively knelt before Lu Bai: “Brother Bai, I, Old Xiang, could tell at a glance that you’re a dragon among men. Please allow me to join our All Villains.”

Not only did he kneel quickly himself, he also pulled the henchman beside him to kneel together.

Seeing this, Lu Bai’s eyelid twitched.

“I could tell from your look that you dare do anything except good things. You just lack an opportunity.”

“Brother Bai!”

Black Mole Xiang suddenly looked up, tears welling in his eyes: “You read people so accurately.”

Lu Bai bent down and gently stroked Black Mole Xiang’s head.

“In that case, killing you gives me no psychological burden.”

“?!”

Crack~

A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed in the silent alley.

Realizing what happened, Xiao Li’s complexion turned extremely ugly.

He quickly got up from the ground, roared in anger, and punched toward Lu Bai in front of him.

This was both to avenge his boss Xiang and to fight for his own survival.

Regrettably, for the current Lu Bai, such an attack didn’t even count as a threat.

While easily dodging the fist by turning his head, his left hand lifted, crossing with Xiao Li’s arm. His hand instantly pressed onto Xiao Li’s entire face, slamming him heavily to the ground.

Lu Bai’s actions were rough, but his tone sounded unusually gentle.

“I didn’t say I was going to kill you too, did I?”

Xiao Li strained his neck, trying to meet Lu Bai’s gaze.

“In this life, loyalty comes first!”

Lu Bai couldn’t tell if this guy was deliberately striking a persona or just thick-headed, so he conveniently twisted off Xiao Li’s head as well.

Moments later, White Shark rushed out with a few henchmen.

“Brother Bai, are you alright?”

“With such thorough preparations, you still let two escape, forcing me to handle it myself in the end. Little Shark, don’t you want to improve anymore?”

Lu Bai was very dissatisfied with White Shark’s efficiency.

Initially, annexing surrounding factions was to make money.

But as the operation grew larger, Lu Bai began to consider using these criminal forces to get things done.

This was unavoidable.

After his internal energy stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, he quickly realized that body tempering with internal energy was a time-consuming process.

At the current quenching progress, to quench the whole body with internal energy would take at least half a year.

And that was only with sufficient nutrition and cultivation resources.

Would this deathmatch duel last that long?

Lu Bai wasn’t sure, but it was probably impossible for him to cultivate steadily to great accomplishment before emerging.

Based on this, he hadn’t even chosen to quench the whole body simultaneously, instead concentrating all internal energy to quench only his right arm.

This way, he could at least guarantee powerful attack methods in a short time.

“Brother Bai, I want to improve more than anything.”

White Shark was slightly panicked and said cautiously: “This was my oversight, please punish me!”

It was worth mentioning that this former White Shark Gang gang leader now had little dissatisfaction with Lu Bai.

Precisely, he quite enjoyed the changes during this time.

Previously, his territory was just a few inns. Now, relying on Lu Bai’s momentum, territories and manpower from other factions had been annexed, with controlled forces surging and status second only to Lu Bai.

White Shark wished such days could last even longer.

“No next time.”

Lu Bai glanced at him and withdrew his gaze: “Remember, from now on, All Villains is already the largest faction on Heping Branch Road.”

After all, aside from his flaw of liking ostentation, White Shark was quite diligent.

If replaced, Lu Bai really didn’t know who to find for the moment.

He walked toward the alley entrance and added casually: “Right, I have something to do tomorrow and will leave Chikan Bay. Don’t cause trouble before I return.”
