Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 361 The future of the world was already predetermined; "friends" brought together by fate.

Ye Xuan looked at the scene in the courtyard, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He looked up at the azure sky, the sunlight shining on his face, warm and bright.

The road ahead is long, and walking the strongest path alone can be lonely and boring.

Having some companions is not bad.

As for the road to the summit, there is still plenty of time; take your time.

The future belongs to him.

However, the "friends" who came together by fate are not limited to Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin.

Before them, at the beginning of his awakening memories, he had two friends, who were also the first friends he truly recognized in this world after his memories were awakened.

"Second-tier strength is no longer enough to keep up with the pace of the world today."

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the orchard.

Unbeknownst to anyone, deep within the orchard, two fruits quietly underwent a transformation. Their shapes gradually twisted and contorted into bizarre forms before vanishing instantly.

Meanwhile, at the training ground of the Hangzhou Tian Shu Bureau.

"boom!"

One figure was knocked back heavily and staggered to his feet.

"Jiang Kai, you still need to work on your skills."

"You can't even withstand 30% of my strength?"

The young man opposite grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

The man called "Jiang Kai" rubbed his numb arm and, after hearing his words, said speechlessly:

"Do you think everyone is like you, a freak, who can improve in every way just by eating?"

"What superpower have I awakened?"

"Just like Spider-Man, improving some strength, speed, reaction time, and web-slinging skills—can that compare to you?"

Zhang Yu chuckled and patted his firm belly proudly:
"That's right, I'm exceptionally gifted!"

His special ability is indeed unique, otherwise he wouldn't have named it "Taotie".

Although it is not the real "Taotie" from mythology, its ability to strengthen its physique through eating is somewhat similar to that of "Taotie".

If his appetite were any bigger, or if he could consume higher-energy foods, he would be more than just a second-tier individual now.

But it's almost time; he's just one step away from reaching the third tier.

"What do you mean by 'exceptionally gifted'?"

A boy wearing a purple tracksuit, whose eyes looked excessively "intelligent," walked over and curled his lip after hearing Zhang Yu's words.

"How long has it been since Jiang Kai awakened his superpower? He only awakened it during the second proper spiritual energy tide."

"How long have you been awakened? You were awakened before the first spiritual energy tide, and you're only at the second level now."

"You call this a genius? If you're so special, then Jiang Kai is a prodigy!"

Upon seeing him, Zhang Yu said in an annoyed tone:
"You deadhawk, trying to sabotage me, huh?"

"And you have the nerve to talk about me like that? Aren't you only at the second tier yourself?"

Besides, what's wrong with second-order?
He's at the peak of the second tier, reaching the threshold of the third tier.

How many Tier 3 individuals are there in the entire Great Xia Dynasty? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's one in ten thousand.

It's just that there are more people in Daxia, which makes it seem like there are more third-tier ability users.

Hawkeye's strength is not as good as his.

"Can I be the same as you?"

Hawkeye stood tall with an air of arrogance.

"I'm an archer, understand? Archers rely on eyesight and weapons! If the weapon's power is sufficient, even a second-tier archer like me can kill a third-tier one!"

"But you're just a brute who relies on your physique. A second-tier is a second-tier; you can't possibly beat a third-tier."

"Damn it!"

"Today, I, a mere brute, will show you what the wrath of the Taotie truly is!"

Zhang Yu rolled up his sleeves.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hao immediately took two steps back, but still couldn't resist being stubborn:
"What, you want to hit me? Don't you know what 'a gun is fast from seven paces away, and accurate and fast within seven paces' means?"

"Believe it or not, I'll snipe your head off?"

As he spoke, he took out a slingshot from his waist.

Playing around is fine, but how can you pull out a gun on your comrades?

Zhang Yu lunged forward, raising his right leg high in the air, and delivered a flying kick:
"Eat my kick!"

Hawkeye nimbly dodged to the side, his slingshot already fully drawn:
"watch out!"

"call out!"

A small pebble hit Zhang Yu's bottom lane precisely.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Yu winced in pain, but his movements didn't stop at all. He turned around and pounced again.

Chen Hao retreated while firing, his movements fluid and graceful.

Within three seconds, five pebbles flew out in succession, all hitting Zhang Yu's "vital parts" with precision.

"Holy crap! You're the one who specializes in hitting the groin, aren't you?"

Despite the pain, Zhang Yu relentlessly chased after Chen Hao.

Jiang Kai, who was standing to the side, grimaced as he watched; just looking at it made him feel a dull ache down there.

In other words, Zhang Yu's "Gluttony" ability can transform the nutrients from what he eats into a comprehensive way to strengthen his physique, even in that area.

If it were an ordinary second-tier ability user, they would probably be kneeling on the ground clutching their groin by now.

"call out!"

Another pebble flew out and hit Zhang Yu squarely in the buttocks.

"Chen Hao! You're finished!" Zhang Yu roared, his speed suddenly increasing, and he pounced on Chen Hao like a hungry tiger, pinning him to the ground.

"Surrender, surrender!"

"How's my aim? Do you know the sharpshooter from the Tian Shu Bureau? Everyone calls me 'God Eagle Eye'."

Chen Hao quickly raised his hands, but a smug smile still lingered on his lips.

"Screw you!"

Zhang Yu was so angry he was grinding his teeth, about to teach this kid a lesson, when he suddenly heard a sigh behind him.

"You guys are really boring."

A boy wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt walked over and looked speechlessly at the two people wrestling on the ground.

"Ma Yi, what brings you here?"

Jiang Kai saw him and asked curiously.

Like him, Ma Yi was an ability user who awakened his superpowers during the second spiritual energy tide.

Although Ma Yi has a good talent for cultivation, his interest in learning far outweighs his interest in cultivation, and his goal has always been to become a top scientist.

However, the identity of a superhuman and the experience of joining the Tian Shu Bureau are quite attractive for admission to top universities, and the score requirements can be lowered considerably. If one can break through to the third level, they may even be specially admitted.

This was also the main reason why Ma Yi joined the Tian Shu Bureau in the first place.

Even so, Ma Yi still focused his main energy on studying, and only practiced cultivation in his spare time.

Without the corresponding knowledge, even if he cultivates to the third level, he will not be able to realize his dream of becoming a scientist. Therefore, reducing his score appropriately is enough for him.

Even so, Ma Yi's strength reached the second tier, which was comparable to his.

According to Ma Yi's habits, he should be reading a book at this time, so why is he at the training ground?
"I've been reading a lot, so I came out to relax."

Ma Yi rubbed his face, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Cultivation does indeed have many benefits. It can invigorate the spirit, improve learning efficiency, and even replace sleep. Before the spiritual energy revival, he would stay up all night.

Unlike now, where you can study intensively for a whole week straight.

Although it took some time to practice, it was nothing compared to the time spent studying.

It's equivalent to a ten-minute break after class at school.

However, as it turns out, even people with superpowers can't endure this kind of strain; he's starting to feel the strain now.

He actually wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned in bed; in the end, he could only get up and cultivate for a while before he felt much better.

Then I went outside to get some fresh air and thought that Hawkeye and Jiang Kai should be here, so I came over to check.

"Speaking of which, Zhang Yu, Hawkeye, I've always had a question I'd like to ask you."

Ma Yi seemed to suddenly realize something and looked at the two of them curiously.

Were you in the same class as Ye Shen back then?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kai immediately became interested and looked at the two of them with curiosity.

As ability users who awakened and joined the Tian Shu Bureau after the second spiritual energy tide, they initially didn't know much about Zhang Yu and Hawkeye's past.

It wasn't until they became friends that they learned that the two of them actually came from the same middle school as "Ye Shen" and were even classmates.

That's Ye Shen! The strongest person in Great Xia, and even the strongest person in the world! He is an existence that countless people worship and yearn for.

Although much information about "Ye Shen" has been circulating online, none of it is as detailed as what Zhang Yu and Eagle Eye, who were actually in the same class as "Ye Shen," know.

"Yes what's the matter?"

Zhang Yu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. This wasn't a secret within the Tian Shu Bureau, was it?

Ma Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Then can you tell me what Ye Shen was like before?"

This question had been on his mind for a long time.

Ever since he learned about their relationship, he had been trying to find out more about Ye Xuan.

Ma Yi had so many questions about Ye Shen's personality, academic performance, study methods, and hobbies, but he was too embarrassed to ask since they had only known each other for a short time.

Now that he's spent a lot of time with Zhang Yu and Eagle Eye, he feels it's time to satisfy his curiosity.

Zhang Yu stroked his chin and thought for a moment:
"Well, how should I put it? He's handsome, has a good personality, good grades, and is good at basketball."

"However, apart from me and Hawkeye, his attitude towards everyone else is polite but distant."

Speaking of this, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared on Zhang Yu's face.

Ye Xuan isn't someone you can just befriend. In the entire class, only he and Eagle Eye are Ye Xuan's true friends.

The others are, at best, just classmates.

"etc."

"Are you friends with Hawkeye and Ye Shen?"

Ma Yi stared at the two of them in shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Jiang Kai also looked at them with disbelief.
"real or fake?"

"Could this be a lie?"

"Let me tell you this: back in school, Ye Xuan always bought me breakfast and charged my power bank."

"Now you know what our relationship is with Ye Xuan, right?"

Hawkeye said with a proud look on his face.

Ma Yi and Jiang Kai exchanged a glance, then shouted in unison, "Godfather!"

This address stunned both Zhang Yu and Eagle Eye.

"What the hell?"

Zhang Yu was completely bewildered.

"Buying you breakfast and charging your power banks, what else is this but being a godfather?"

Ma Yi and Jiang Kai said this as a matter of course.
