Panlong, magnetic field rotation

Chapter 152 S-Class

In the Panlong World, within the Hongmeng Space, beneath the osmanthus tree, three first-level Hongmeng controllers are drinking tea and conversing about the myriad realms.

Lynn was mainly in charge of speaking, while Hongmeng and Lin Lei listened, both of them looking amazed and yearning for a higher level of worldview.

Lin Lei's eyes lit up, and he said, "Second Brother, the world level of this Devouring Starry Sky is very likely even higher than that of Panlong."

A look of eager anticipation appeared on his face. He had thought that becoming the controller of Hongmeng was the pinnacle, but he never expected that his second brother would have the opportunity to explore a new path. How could he not be pleasantly surprised?

Hongmeng shook his head upon hearing this and calmly said, "It's hard to say, Third Brother. No matter how a novel's story is set up, it's just a combination and pile of words. Whether it's consistent with reality is still unknown."

Lin Lei's burning passion subsided somewhat. Upon careful consideration, he realized that his elder brother's words made sense. Whether the world of Swallowing the Stars truly existed was still a question mark.

Hongmeng smiled and said meaningfully, "I'm more curious about the author than the story."

He looked at Lynn and asked, "Second brother, since you shared those memories, do you know anything about the author?"

Lynn shook his head and said regretfully, "I've disappointed you, elder brother and third brother. I didn't go to find the author over there."

Hongmeng laughed and said, "It's alright. You can talk to them next time you have the chance, find the author to chat with, and do some experiments while you're at it."

Lynn was a smart man, and he instantly guessed some of Hongmeng's thoughts. He frankly said, "Big Brother wants to try to get the author to change the Panlong storyline or add new settings?"

Hongmeng nodded and said, "Your world is very special. It's hard not to be curious about why an ordinary person can understand such detailed stories about our world."

Lin Lei interjected, "Perhaps the author is not an ordinary person!"

Lynn nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, but this sharing session just ended, so it will probably take a while longer."

Hongmeng cautiously said, "It's alright. There's no need to disturb you over there too often. It's best to wait until your strength is close to yours before you go to test the author."

time……

For HarmonyOS, the cheapest thing is stability.

Lynn nodded and silently made a note of it.

……

the other side.

It was midday, a beautiful sunny day.

"Hello everyone, I'm an enhanced superpowered user who has been training for two and a half years... I'm good at singing and dancing... basketball..."

Lynn comfortably lay on the balcony scrolling through short videos, enjoying her leisure time, and ordered a takeout.

At this point, WeChat notified you.

Upon opening the message, I discovered it was from my mother, Li Mei.

"How's the relationship going with that girl your second aunt introduced you to last time?"

Lynn replied helplessly in a text message: "It's not suitable for me, so please don't worry about it. Now that spiritual energy is recovering, technology is advancing, human lifespan is increasing, and there are gene serums, I'm not even thirty yet, what's the rush?"

When the topic of blind dates came up, he felt both headache and annoyed.

Before the spiritual revival, he was just an ordinary working man with an innate divine body. His appearance, physique, and family background were all unremarkable, and his love life was as uneventful as an electrocardiogram of a dead person.

The women he likes don't like him back, and he's unwilling to settle, so he stays single.

Since a month ago, when I went shopping with my family, I encountered a criminal with superpowers who injured people. I was forced to show my abilities, which made it to the top of the news and brought me into the official spotlight. After receiving a B-level certification from the Superpower Management Bureau, all my long-lost relatives have started to come out and try to build relationships with me.

Li Mei: "What did you eat for lunch?"

Lynn: "I just ordered takeout."

Li Mei: "Your dad and I are going to your maternal grandfather's house tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

Lynn: "No, I'm not familiar with my relatives there. Didn't we have dinner together last month?"

Li Mei: "Okay then. Take care and get some rest. Don't eat takeout; it's not hygienic."

Lynn rubbed her temples to calm herself down and continued watching videos.

A Hanfu-clad livestreamer is enthusiastically promoting their product: "Family members! Authentic Longhu Mountain Spirit Gathering Talismans, three for only 998! Don't miss out! You won't regret it, don't be tempted! I'll say it again, we're having a promotion today, three for only 998!"

During the time he absorbed sunlight, Lynn's super vision improved further, and he could see through the screen the anti-counterfeiting code printed on the back of the talisman, which read "XX Cultivation Culture Co., Ltd."

This……

Perhaps it's just about keeping up with the times.

Lynn sighed, scrolling through various channels.

Suddenly, a news item popped up on Weibo: "Giant octopus silhouette spotted in Tokyo Bay, Self-Defense Forces scrambled (video attached)"

Lynn immediately perked up and clicked to watch.

The video showed a 100-meter-tall, semi-transparent creature tearing apart the Rainbow Bridge, and the comment section exploded instantly.

Wow, what a huge Squidward!

"Which summoning master came up with this?"

"That's terrifying, it gave me goosebumps."

"Hehe, this world is getting more and more magical!"

"Calling for Giant Mountain Super Powerhouse!"

"Quickly boil the pork bones into soup!"

Lynn's lips twitched involuntarily. Since the revival of spiritual energy, nearly half of humanity has awakened superpowers, but they are all kinds of strange and mostly useless. Only a few have the potential to upgrade. Among them, the summoning system is a peculiar one, where all sorts of weird things may appear.

Fire-breathing lizards, wildly growing plants, undead knights burning with flames, tentacle monsters, and zombies are all commonplace.

If you're lucky, you might also find garlic-shaped turtles, yellow-skinned rats, and white devils.

"I happened to be traveling in Japan and happened to witness the scene..."

Lynn clicked on the search bar and entered a visitor's live stream.

The thing resembled a black mountain rising from the sea, with tentacles as thick as skyscrapers, each covered with wriggling suckers and its surface was covered with strange patterns.

"This might not be a summoned creature..."

Lynn frowned, his super vision automatically focusing as he analyzed the energy flow of those strange patterns.

"Crench!"

The bridge was severed in half by a tentacle, the steel bars twisted, and cars were thrown into the sea like toys.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

Fighter jets roared past, and missiles exploded on the surface of the tentacles, but it was like a pebble thrown into water, not even causing a ripple.

"Physical attacks are ineffective?"

Lynn frowned; this alone was terrifying.

He casually refreshed Weibo, and in that short time, the trending topics had exploded.

"The Tokyo Bay Monster!"

"Self-Defense Forces attack ineffective!"

"Global superpowered individuals urgently respond!"

When Lynn checked again, the tourist's live stream had already been shut down; they probably ran away because it was too dangerous.

Fortunately, there are too many people these days who are willing to die for traffic, so I can just find one to watch.

The footage shakes violently as the camera focuses on the broken section of the bridge, where steel bars are twisted like pretzels, and car wreckage floats on the sea.

Suddenly, a white streak of light shot out from the shore.

The white, translucent wings of qi unfolded, and it swept across the sea at great speed, stirring up large waves.

"Aura manifests as wings! It's Steel Fist Sato! A-rank Enhancement type!"

The photographer excitedly shouted in neon, which Lynn couldn't understand, but she could see the subtitles thanks to the simultaneous translation function.

And he did indeed know this person; he had seen related short videos on social media.

Kenta Sato is a well-known Japanese fighter, a power-enhancing psychic, and a martial arts expert.

His muscle density is comparable to that of an alloy; he once smashed an abandoned building with a single punch.

At this moment, his body was enveloped in white martial arts energy, his right arm muscles swelled to three times the thickness of an ordinary person, and the surface of his fist even turned red due to high-speed friction.

"Drink——!"

He flew over at lightning speed, roaring as he slammed his fist into the nearest tentacle, compressing the air into a visible shockwave.

"boom--!"

The fist struck the surface of the tentacle, and the resulting shockwave shattered the windows of nearby buildings.

The power is so terrifying that if it were a human, they would be instantly reduced to a bloody mist.

however……

But the touch remained completely still.

"Nani!"

Sato's pupils contracted sharply, and the next second, the suction cup suddenly wriggled, clinging tightly to his arm. "Ugh...?!"

His skin shriveled at a visible rate, his muscles atrophied, his white aura was drawn away, his wings of light disappeared, and he looked as if his life force had been drained.

Three seconds later, he fell like a rag doll, crashing into the sea and splashing up murky water.

The barrage of comments exploded.

"An A-rank enhancement-type martial artist... was instantly killed?!"

"That suction cup is disgusting!"

"This monster seems to be immune to physical attacks."

On the streets along Tokyo Bay, a young Onmyoji dressed in a white hunting robe performs hand seals and chants incantations, while a complex pentagram array unfolds beneath his feet.

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Lord Hakuzō, appear!"

A giant white fox shikigami leaped out of the formation, its nine tails surging like snow waves, its eyes burning with ghostly blue flames.

This is an A-rank summoning shikigami registered with the Japanese Onmyoji Bureau, who once single-handedly suppressed a gang of tens of thousands of rampaging evil spirits.

Hakuzosu roared as he charged toward the octopus monster, his claws tearing at its tentacles.

"Shh!"

The tentacles suddenly split off, coiling around the white fox like pythons. The moment the suction cups touched the shikigami, Hakuzosu's body convulsed violently, and its fur quickly turned gray and fell off.

Even more terrifying, its form began to distort, its fox head gradually turning into a deformed octopus-like head, its eyeballs multiplying, and its fangs transforming into tentacles...

"No...impossible!"

The Onmyoji coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground; the backlash from the contract caused him to bleed from all seven orifices.

Ten seconds later, Hakuzosu completely mutated, becoming part of the monster, and turned around to pounce on its master.

The barrage scrolled wildly.

"The shikigami has been corrupted?!"

"This monster can assimilate supernatural beings!"

"Run! Run!"

"Neon Pills!"

"Go quickly and make some pork bone broth!"

"I'm already working on it, don't rush me!"

"Give me a bowl!"

"I'm Tiga!"

"Gaia—!"

"Rumble..."

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded, and the amount of water molecules in the air increased rapidly.

Lynn looked up at the sky where dark clouds were gathering, his expression somewhat regretful, as the sunlight had diminished considerably.

After waiting a while, the delivery arrived: fried chicken, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, fries, chicken wraps, and a Coke.

Lynn returned to her bedroom, a chicken wing in her left hand and a can of cola in her right, with seven live stream windows open simultaneously on her computer screen.

The female host, wearing a short skirt, shouted hoarsely, "The monster has now breached the third line of defense and is moving towards Shinagawa Ward!"

A blond reporter from the UK roared from the helicopter, "This is absolutely the most serious monster incident since the spiritual energy revival!"

A travel content creator on Bilibili, hiding in an office building, secretly filmed a Japanese man. The camera shook wildly, and although his face was pale, he couldn't hide his excitement. "Holy crap, big news! Guys, follow this!"

……

"Tsk tsk, this Japanese government is no good."

Lynn ate his hamburger in big bites and gulped down his iced cola.

The rain was pouring down outside the window, but it didn't affect his enjoyment of the melon.

Even through the gaps in the curtains, super vision penetrates directly through the clouds, and a super brain analyzes when the sun will rise.

The live stream showed a group of tanks firing at the monster.

"Boom...boom..."

The moment the armor-piercing round hit the tentacle.

"Paji!"

The shells bounced off like they were hitting putty, leaving no mark at all.

"Baka! What kind of monster is this?!"

The Japanese commander on the scene was both angry and terrified, and, refusing to believe it, ordered the tanks to get close and fire.

As a result, the octopus's tentacle flicked its tail, twisting the cannon barrel into a pretzel, and sending the tank flying dozens of meters like a toy car.

As expected, the comments section was filled with mockery.

"Pfft, that made me laugh!"

"It's really rubbish."

"Quickly, summon Ultraman!"

Lynn crumpled the hamburger wrapper into a ball, accurately tossed it into the trash can, and clapped his hands, laughing happily, "Well done!"

Then typed and sent a comment: "I suggest the Japanese Self-Defense Forces switch to making funny videos."

I picked up a bag of potato chips and started eating.

Video from the shore.

An old Onmyoji dressed in a magnificent hunting robe led a dozen or so priests to perform rituals, chanting incantations with spittle flying everywhere.

Amidst a dazzling display of golden light, a majestic azure dragon shikigami descended from the sky, and then...

He was slapped into the sea by an octopus tentacle and turned into a drenched dragon.

The old Yin-Yang Master vomited three liters of blood on the spot, and was still shouting "Masaka..." as he was being carried away on a stretcher.

The comments on each video scrolled rapidly.

Hahaha! That's it?

"The superhumans in Japan aren't good enough!"

"Quickly go to the Western Paradise and ask our Eagle Kingdom father to come and save the day!"

"Gentlemen, I'm so excited!"

After a while of pulling, rain started to fall on the screen, and it got heavier and heavier.

The octopus monster seemed to really enjoy rainy days. Amidst the screams of countless people, it climbed ashore, tearing a department store in half with its tentacles.

A girl in a high school uniform cried out beside the ruins, "My Nintendo Switch is still inside!"

Just as the city was being ravaged by monsters, a strong aura suddenly came from the sky.

A man draped in a white haori walked through the air, his katana still sheathed at his waist, yet the sheer aura of his sword sliced ​​the rain in two.

The screen was instantly flooded with comments.

"Holy crap, it's the Sword Saint, Yagyu Sousuke!"

"Japan's only S-class!"

"Here it comes! The grand finale!"

Lynn finally put down the potato chips and became slightly more serious: "Oh? A rule-based cutting ability?"

In the scene, Yagyu Sousuke slowly draws his sword.

There were no flashy special effects, no cringeworthy lines, just a simple horizontal slash.

"Shh!"

A thin black line appeared in the space, and the octopus monster suddenly froze, then slowly slid down along the smooth cut surface.

The dark red core crystal clattered to the ground and shattered into powder.

The global live stream was silent for three seconds, then the chat exploded with comments.

"One strike? Just one strike!?"

"The difference between S-class and A-class is greater than that between a person and a dog."

"Holy crap! To be honest, this is really awesome!"

Lynn remained calm; he had already anticipated this outcome.

Although Japan is bad, its large population means there are still powerful figures in power. However, this incident has indeed caused quite a stir.
