Favna suddenly felt an immense impact surging towards her from the front.
In the face of such great power, her minor psychic abilities seemed to hit a solid wall, instantly rebounding and collapsing without any effect.
She involuntarily retreated back into the room, only to be immediately intercepted by the giant man.
“Haha! You can’t escape now.”
The big man, ecstatic, lunged forward in a bear-hug tackle.
Under his massive dark shadow as he spread his arms wide, Favna appeared like a little white rabbit, pitiful and vulnerable.
“This doesn’t concern you, so get lost!”
But the young voice spoke again, and suddenly a pale, delicate fist filled Favna’s field of vision.
Bang!
The floor cracked, a terrifying drilling force emerged, and crashed head-on into the bear-like figure before her.
Immediately, the opponent seemed as if struck head-on by a high-speed locomotive, flying backward and slamming heavily into the wall, leaving a large indentation.
“Who exactly are you?”
Seeing the Watcher, whom she had been unable to overcome despite her best efforts, reduced to this state, Favna could no longer hide her shock and stared at the black-clad figure who had appeared before her.
He wore a black trench coat, his face surprisingly young, yet his entire being exuded a sharp, seasoned aura that made her dare not make any rash moves.
“Favna? The Mind Witch?”
Wu Ming spoke indifferently, his voice deep.
“That’s me. Who are you?”
Favna’s expression turned puzzled.
“Come with me!”
Wu Ming glanced at the now wrecked villa. Although this place was relatively remote, such a commotion would easily draw the attention of patrolling police.
“Why should I listen to you?”
Favna raised her head defiantly: “Although you’re powerful and defeated that big guy, the Watchers aren’t the kind of people who give up easily. They will definitely send more people after me.”
“The Watchers?”
Wu Ming smirked: “Sounds like another one of those cliché organizations of superhumans dedicated to protecting world peace. Can’t you come up with something more original?”
He stared at Favna: “What did you do that caused them to attack you?”
“They’re just a bunch of lunatics!”
At this mention, Favna’s face darkened: “I merely spread a little panic and collected the stray mental energies from others…”
Boom!
At that moment, a massive explosion erupted from the rubble where the giant had been buried.
Dust flew, and a tall dark figure slowly emerged from the debris, his dust-covered muscles suddenly gaining a metallic sheen.
“Favna, you caused a stampede by creating mass panic, resulting in three deaths and over a hundred injuries… You only got one thing right: we will never let you go!”
He glanced at Wu Ming: “And sir, I advise you: this is a society governed by law. Don’t think you can do as you please just because you have some abilities!”
“Oh my… this feeling…”
Wu Ming immediately felt like making a sarcastic comment: “I came here to settle accounts with her too, but now I suddenly feel like I’ve become the villain!”
“What? Settle accounts with me?”
Favna immediately had a bad premonition.
One Watcher was already more than she could handle. If this even more unfathomable mysterious figure joined forces with them… she probably wouldn’t even have the luxury of trying to escape!
“However, I don’t like others interfering with my affairs!”
Wu Ming waved his hand, and numerous steel bars from the building shot out like snakes, twisting and coiling around the big man, firmly locking him in place: “That applies to you too!”
The steel cage, specially reinforced by psychic power, was clearly beyond the big man’s current capability to break free.
After futile attempts, he could only shout threats: “The Watchers will never let you two go!”
“I look forward to it…”
Wu Ming, who had already steadily recovered to fifth-level power since obtaining the Core Space, now stood at the peak of this world.
Unless true deities or monsters appeared, a few superhumans, no matter how formidable, could easily be dealt with, even the Redeemer Church’s priests and the Punishment Warrior Corps.
Grabbing Favna, he quickly disappeared from the villa, leaving the giant man alone in his cage.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
He roared furiously. Hearing the approaching police sirens, his expression became even more complicated.
Breaking into a private residence and causing destruction made him look like a criminal no matter how one looked at it.
Moreover… if patrol officers and reporters saw him in this state, he’d probably make the headlines tomorrow, which he definitely did not want.
“How can ordinary steel bars be so strong and actually trap me?”
After his rage, he finally calmed down, looking in the direction Wu Ming had left: “Controlling magnetism? Another superhuman?”
…
“You, exactly who are you, and what do you want?”
Favna was taken to a wilderness area and faced Wu Ming and Diya behind him, her expression slightly changing as she sensed he was clearly part of some organization.
“That should be my question!”
Wu Ming raised an eyebrow: “Why did you target Angelina?”
“Angelina, that little girl?”
Favna was startled, then quickly showed heavy caution, even a hint of alarm.
“You don’t need to be so wary. I can tell you, Angelina is my sister, my real sister!”
Wu Ming raised an eyebrow.
“You’re the eldest brother of the Strayling family, Steven?”
Favna immediately figured it out, her expression quite complex: “I’ve heard you’re very excellent, but I never expected you to be this outstanding!”
“So you’ve been investigating my family thoroughly!”
Wu Ming pulled out the set of cards: “What was your purpose in giving these to Angelina?”
“My purpose?”
Favna tucked her hair back, looking somewhat seductive: “Of course, it was to take her as my student. Don’t you know she has the potential to become a Mind Witch! No! That kind of trait is something I’ve never seen in my life! Her future achievements will definitely surpass mine, even all those in our school!”
“Mind Witch traits? Just that minor mental ability?”
Wu Ming scoffed.
“What do you know?”
Her profession being belittled, even though she knew her life and death were in his hands, Favna still jumped up like a hissing kitten: “Mental power is the greatest power in the world! Compared to the mind, what is that brute-force Watcher worth?”
“We Mind Witches can materialize various emotions like joy, sorrow, fear, and anger. The stronger the emotion, the greater our power, until eventually we can summon monster legions…”
“Materialization of emotions?”
Wu Ming shook his head: “So the more obsessive you are, the easier it is to achieve power? This method usually ends up with more people going mad, don’t you think?”
“How can you understand the techniques of us Mind Witches?”
Favna sneered disdainfully, her face showing a trace of arrogance.
“Oh? Are you saying your method is to collect others’ emotions and desires and transform them into your own power? Although this approach might not necessarily make one go mad, it’s also quite easy to be overwhelmed by the very creations you make, isn’t it?”
This was nothing but a variation of the “external incarnation” technique of the divine Dao.
There are thirty thousand great Dao paths, yet they all lead to the same destination. Wu Ming, who now possessed the bearing of a grand master, could understand all Western techniques through analogy, regardless of their origin.
“Even though the world’s rules differ, the principles of the Dao in the multiverse are still universal! Extracting and purifying these ‘universal rules,’ when reaching the ultimate, one attains the state of Great Luo!”
Suddenly, an epiphany arose in his mind.
“Moreover, the power of the Mind Witch does have some redeeming qualities…”
Wu Ming had already carefully examined Angelina’s constitution and found that she had great difficulty cultivating Daoist techniques. Since his own path wouldn’t work for her, and this Favna was so confident, perhaps her awakened constitution really was well-suited to that of a Mind Witch.
Although this little girl appeared as a well-behaved daughter in front of Wu Ming now, her curiosity and desire for power couldn’t be hidden from him.
Rather than letting her stumble around in society blindly, he might as well ask her opinion directly.
If she truly aspired to the supernatural, then he would cultivate her. Wu Ming didn’t expect her to help him with anything, but at least she could gain enough power to protect herself and take care of her family.
“Favna!”
He suddenly spoke, his voice low.
Favna shivered all over, as if awaiting her final verdict.
“Would you… be willing to become my sister’s private tutor?”
Wu Ming suddenly asked.
“What?”
Favna was stunned.
In her view, this guy had clearly come to warn her not to target his sister anymore. How had he suddenly changed his stance?
“Aren’t you afraid of trouble?”
Her expression suddenly became interesting: “After all, I’m already on the Watchers’ wanted list!”
“The Watchers? What are they worth? As long as you don’t cause trouble here, I guarantee you’ll be free from their troubles!”
Wu Ming immediately knew that this woman, like Diya, was also a restless soul.
“However, to keep you in line, I should still let you witness my power!”
Saying so, a surge of mental force shot out, piercing through Favna’s forehead and plunging deep into her consciousness and soul.
“Ahh!”
Favna cried out, her eyes rolling back, only feeling an incomparable, terrifyingly powerful force drilling into her mind, grabbing her soul.
Boom!
In an instant, she felt as if she had entered another world, where a soul as bright as the sun stretched across the center of the universe, continuously radiating light and heat.
Her immense soul power trembled. Favna felt that all the mental techniques she had mastered seemed laughably childish compared to his.
“What… what kind of existence was that?”
Diya, watching nearby, saw Favna drooling and lying on the ground like an idiot for half a day. When she got up again, she had become extremely respectful.
