Chapter 78: Help Me, Xiu!

The saying goes, "The more a person lacks something, the more they care about it." That was why Fang Xiu suddenly understood Zhao Hao's mindset.

If just "side-effect" physical strength was this formidable, then it only meant Zhao Hao's sexual power was even more capable. Maybe his bragging about his stamina and hardness was true.

As for Zhao Hao's saying, 'It's time,' that was easy to grasp. His ability activated between 11 PM and 1 AM, precisely the time he lay in bed fantasizing.

Now, Fang Xiu wondered if the adult films on Zhao Hao's phone were really all he had. _'Can watching private tutoring, plumbers, and convenience store theft themed movies awaken such powers?'_

He really suspected Zhao Hao had other films hidden away, like 'Superman vs. Catwoman' or 'Batman Interrogating Harley Quinn.'

Liu Shuai, standing nearby, was dumbstruck by Zhao Hao's display of power.

He watched as Zhao Hao easily lifted a Specter Slave over his head and tore it in two. His eyes were wide with disbelief.

"Zhao Hao is so powerful!" Liu Shuai murmured, dazed.

"Did you see the whole process of Zhao Hao transforming?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked. Liu Shuai swallowed hard and nodded, "Just now, he was weak and scared in my arms. But as soon as it hit 11 PM, a white light flashed over him, and he seemed to become a different person, full of confidence."

Fang Xiu cut him off, "I only want to know one thing. Zhao Hao's transformation making him taller and more handsome is explainable by his powers. But can anyone explain his slicked-back hair? Does this power magically produce hair gel?"

"Uh, actually, that's not hair gel. That's saliva. I saw Zhao Hao spit in his hand and then slick his hair back with it after transforming."

Fang Xiu rolled his eyes, speechless.

Nearby, Zhao Hao, still fighting, seemed to hear something. He nearly stumbled and fell, but quickly pretended as if nothing had happened and continued fighting.

However, his movements became more forceful and showy.

Watching him, Liu Shuai felt a mix of dizziness and inferiority. "Am I the only useless one in the team? No, at least I have more blood."

Comforting himself with this thought, the chubby Liu Shuai clenched his bronze candlestick, trying to extract more blood, glowing and heating it up.

Then, he blacked out from blood loss. As he fainted, the candlestick rolled out of his hand, sparing him from being drained to death.

At this point, the bronze candlestick was no longer needed because Zhao Hao had attracted the attention of all the Specter Slaves.

This commotion naturally caught the attention of the silver-haired woman. She frowned upon seeing Zhao Hao's impressive display. Her shift in focus gave Shen Lingxue, who was trapped in the mud pit, a chance to strike. Enraged, she climbed out and launched a flame at the silver-haired woman, yelling, "Go to hell!"

However, the silver-haired woman, without even glancing at Shen Lingxue and focusing entirely on Zhao Hao, casually summoned a thick column of water from the sky, putting out Shen Lingxue's flames. This also shattered Shen Lingxue's illusions about her own power, knocking her back into the mud pit and breaking several of her bones.

Shen Lingxue then rolled her eyes and fainted.

The silver-haired woman never looked at Shen Lingxue during this entire episode. The battle between second-tier water and first-tier fire was a clear mismatch.

After dealing with Shen Lingxue, the silver-haired woman turned to Zhao Hao and waved her hand. The hair Zhao Hao had torn from the Specter Slaves began to rise, twisting like tiny black snakes. Soon, all of it lifted into the air, forming a massive black web under the moonlight, enveloping Zhao Hao.

The web was so extensive that it completely blocked Zhao Hao's escape, trapping him inside. Zhao Hao, however, remained calm and confident, even adjusting the web to avoid messing up his slicked-back hair.

"You think this little trick can hold me? You still don't grasp the gap between us," Zhao Hao boasted. With a burst of his tremendous strength, he tore a huge hole in the web.

But then, the silver-haired woman smirked. Suddenly, the torn hair began to grow back at a visible pace, quickly repairing the web. Zhao Hao's expression turned cold as he frantically tore at the hair, but it kept regenerating, seemingly endless.

"Damn it!" Zhao Hao cursed, not so much worried about being trapped but frustrated that his show was immediately countered.

In his frenzy, he didn't notice the accumulating hair strands at his feet. These strands began to move like tadpoles, swarming towards Zhao Hao, aiming for his eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, and every other opening in his body.

Trapped in the web of hair, Zhao Hao couldn't dodge the swarm of hair fragments rushing at him, and he panicked.

"Xiu, help me!"

Suddenly, a flash of silver light descended from the sky, slicing through the hair net with lightning speed.

It was Fang Xiu.

Miraculously, the hair cut by Fang Xiu didn't regenerate. This was because he had used the power of pain.

Zhao Hao quickly crawled out of the hair net, frantically brushing off the hair fragments. Once he was clear, he stood up, once again arrogantly smirking.

"You've pushed me to this extent. You should be proud. But this ends now!" Zhao Hao yelled, bending his legs slightly and then propelling himself forward with great force, leaving deep footprints in the ground. He shot towards the silver-haired woman like a cannonball.

The silver-haired woman, seemingly infuriated by his contemptuous attitude, snorted coldly and flicked her head, sending her silver hair towards Zhao Hao like a fierce waterfall.

BOOM!

"Ah!"

Zhao Hao was sent flying back even faster than before, crashing through the forest, plowing through numerous trees, and leaving a long trail before finally coming to a stop in a heap of trees, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Clearly, this was the true power of the silver-haired woman, far surpassing the Specter Slaves that Zhao Hao had easily defeated.

After dealing with Zhao Hao, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the silver-haired woman's eyes. But before she could savor her victory for long, suddenly, an unexpected turn of events occurred."
