What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

"A-rank Light Priest?"

Yang Xi swirled the wine in his glass. For him, the more important thing was the characteristics of his superpower. The higher the level, the greater the difficulty of the hunt.

But for Yang Feifei's sake, Yang Xi decided to take this risk.

After several rounds of bidding, the banquet atmosphere became even more lively. Yang Xi, who had eaten and drunk quite a bit, felt the urge to urinate. This middle-aged man's bladder was still not big enough.

Before going to the toilet, Yang Xi temporarily returned control of his body to him. After losing control of his body, Yang Xi had more energy to observe his state after his arrival.

For example, whether his special ability bead came along.

Yang Xi had always been very curious about the way the Superpower Beads existed.

After examining the body, Yang Xi did not sense his own power bead on Hot and Sour Noodles Superman, which meant that the power bead did not follow the soul and remained in his body.

After the hot and sour noodles superhero finished his water-relieving process, Yang Xi regained control of his body. Taking advantage of the remaining time before his arrival, Yang Xi decided to take a walk around the manor where the charity gala was being held.

As soon as I entered a secluded garden, I overheard a melodramatic conversation.

"Senior, are you drunk? I can forgive your behavior just now, but if you do it again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The speaker was a cute girl wearing a tight-fitting leather superhero costume, with a slightly childlike face.

Standing in front of her, covering his face, was a young man reeking of alcohol; he was also a hero.

Hot and Sour Noodles Superman introduced Yang Xi: "This is Jungle Ranger, a B-level hero from 'Shenlong Heroes Management Company.' I don't recognize that girl; she's probably a hero trainee."

The jungle hunter had a neat short haircut and a physique that, while not exactly muscular, looked quite sturdy. He suddenly laughed, "Are you mistaken? Do you think you can be rude to me? Do you think you can stand out from so many graduates based on your abilities? It's all because of your physique and face! Meet my requirements obediently, and I guarantee you a formal contract with the company!"

Yang Xi then noticed that the girl's uniform had a simple dragon logo, which he guessed was a standard uniform issued by Shenlong Company to the hero trainees.

“Master, he’s lying. A B-class hero wouldn’t have that much influence in a large company like Shenlong Company, which has S-class heroes.”

Yang Xi laughed and said, "Mind having more female fans? It'll be a good opportunity for me to experience your abilities."

"I have a hot and sour noodle compressed capsule in my chest pocket. The company paid a research institution to make it specially to reduce the limitations of my superpower. Eating it will allow me to transform."

Very good. After taking the compressed capsule, Yang Xi felt a tremendous power surging through his body.

The hot and sour noodles superhero has transformed from an ordinary 1.7-meter-tall uncle into a super strong man over 2 meters tall. Thanks to his highly elastic superhero suit, an embarrassing scene of his clothes bursting off was avoided.

Yang Xi exclaimed, "If your superpower had fewer restrictions, it would definitely be an extremely powerful ability!"

057 Frame-like operation

wrong.

Yang Xi sensed something was amiss; the superpowers of the hot and sour noodles superman were probably different from what he had described.

What triggered his transformation was not the hot and sour noodles, but the change in the mental power of the hot and sour noodles superhero himself.

Yang Xi's spiritual power descended along with his spirit body. After all, although spiritual power is not directly equivalent to the spirit body, its relationship with the spirit body is much closer than that with the physical body.

He could observe that at the moment of transformation, it was the change in the mental power within Hot and Sour Noodle Superman that stimulated the energy within him to go berserk.

"Your superpower doesn't seem to be as strongly connected to hot and sour noodles as you thought."

Hot and Sour Noodles Superman rarely showed a hint of surprise in front of Yang Xi, "Really, Master?"

"Hmm, let me give it a try."

As he spoke, Yang Xi's immense mental power began to interfere with the mental power of Hot and Sour Noodles Superman.

After collecting so many supernatural abilities, Yang Xi's mental strength had become terrifyingly powerful.

Strangely enough, the Power Beads don't follow the spirits, but they can enhance the mental power closely related to the spirits. Yang Xi can't figure out the reason for this yet, but it must hide a secret similar to the Dark Energy Cube that points directly to the essence of power.

Under the soothing power of Yang Xi's immense mental strength, which was several times greater than that of the Sour and Spicy Noodle Superman himself, his restless mental energy calmed down, and the Sour and Spicy Noodle Superman also began to shrink from a height of more than two meters. However, the energy did not disappear; it was merely bound by Yang Xi's enormous mental strength.

"The reason you could only last fifteen minutes before was because you were using your full power. Now I'm letting that power remain dormant, so you can last even longer."

In the same transformed state, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman is now only about 1.9 meters tall, and his muscles are not as exaggerated as before.

"Not every opponent requires you to unleash your full power. If you can last fifteen minutes at ten times the normal power, what about five times? Or three times?"

"Furthermore, if you break it down further, even if you unleash a punch ten times stronger, it will only take one or two seconds. Fifteen minutes is a full 900 seconds!"

"By the way, does hot and sour rice noodles have any special meaning for you?"

The voice of the hot and sour noodles superhero was a little disappointed, "My dad got into a car accident just because he was buying me hot and sour noodles..."

Sure enough, the hot and sour noodles were just the trigger for the change in his mental strength.

"Your special ability is controlled and allocated using mental power. Only when you achieve this will you truly have control over your ability."

"Study hard during the remaining time I am here!"

With that, Yang Xi walked out of the corner where the play was being watched.

With each step Yang Xi took, he switched the output power of the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman. When he was 1.7 meters tall, it was double; when he was 1.9 meters tall, it was triple; when he was around 2 meters tall, it was five times; and when he was 2.5 meters tall, it was close to ten times.

With each step, the shape of the hot and sour noodles superhero changes, looking like a game lag.

Meanwhile, the hot and sour noodle superhero, who had temporarily relinquished control of his body, was already stunned by Yang Xi's actions. His superpower, which he had developed over decades, was no match for his master's mere few minutes.

This isn't entirely the fault of Sour and Spicy Noodle Superman. Aside from the initial misleading activation of his ability through the medium, his mental strength wasn't particularly strong, so he naturally couldn't control this transformation ability freely.

The female hero trainee was already questioning her life under the jungle ranger's silver tongue.

"You...you're lying! I clearly earned the appreciation of the company's upper management through my own abilities!"

Seeing his prey on the verge of collapse, the jungle ranger skillfully began to embellish the story, something he was already very adept at.

"Think about it, once you have a formal contract, you'll have all sorts of company benefits. You'll no longer have to squeeze into a cramped shared apartment. Your monthly salary will be enough for you to own your own apartment in Beijing, where land is incredibly expensive. You can bring your parents to live with you, and your sister will have access to a better education..."

"You will become a superstar, with millions or even tens of millions of fans on Hero Live. With your good image, countless endorsement deals will be waiting for you. Don't ruin your future because of a moment of impulsiveness!"

The jungle ranger struck a flamboyant pose. "Besides, I think I'm not bad looking either. If you have a wonderful night with me, you won't lose out, right?"

The female trainee collapsed to the ground, caught in an endless struggle.

The jungle ranger gave a greasy smile and reached out to take off her top.

Yang Xi controlled the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman and kicked the Jungle Ranger, sending him rolling twice on the ground, his face covered in mud.

He got up, dizzy and furious, and yelled, "Who the hell attacked me?!"

"Ahem, brother, how would you feel if your daughter were sexually harassed like this?"

"Hot and Sour Noodles Superman? Who do you think you are, you country bumpkin from Lukang? Who are you to meddle in other people's business?"

Yang Xi ignored the scumbag and helped the girl up, tucking her clothes in properly before saying, "I don't know if you can get a formal contract from Shenlong Company after you go with him today, but I can be sure that once you start, given this guy's shameless personality, he will definitely come back to bother you again."

"What was your original intention in wanting to become a hero? Don't put the cart before the horse!"

The girl calmed down after Yang Xi's words. Yes, if she used her body to exchange for a contract, would she be a hero or someone else's plaything?

She wiped away her tears. "Thank you, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman, you're a good person!"

Uh, sorry comrade, I didn't expect you to get friend-zoned.

Yang Xi would never admit that the girl gave him the "good guy" card.

After glaring fiercely at the jungle ranger, the girl quickly left the garden.

There were only two men left.

Jungle Ranger, having lost his chance, glared at Hot and Sour Noodles Superman with a sinister look. "Do you know what happens when you meddle in other people's business?"

Yang Xi crossed her arms. "What is it?"

"Even if I beat you half to death, I don't hit women. Beating you up for fifteen minutes is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

It's public knowledge that Hot and Sour Noodle Superman's transformation time is short. The Jungle Ranger's strategy is to force him to transform, and then teach Hot and Sour Noodle Superman a lesson after his transformation time is over.

"Are you going to find some hot water to soak your hot and sour noodles, you good-for-nothing!"

Yang Xi smiled slightly, suddenly grew to 1.9 meters tall, and punched the jungle ranger in the stomach.

"puff!!!"

Jungle Ranger vomited a bellyful of bile, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets!

After a few rolls, he disappeared into the bushes.

A faint voice came from all around, "Hmph, I almost forgot you're transformed from a compressed capsule now. Wait until fifteen minutes later, I'll beat you until you're begging for mercy!"

"Your superpower is only effective against alien beasts. Against us human heroes, even a C-rank hero could probably easily defeat you!"

Yang Xi laughed. Anyway, there was still more than half an hour before the arrival, so he might as well play along with this scumbag for a while longer.

Hot and Sour Noodles Superman reminded him, "Jungle Ranger is skilled in archery and can stealthily move through the jungle, so this garden is very advantageous to him."

"is it?"

Yang Xi's mental energy spread out, and every blade of grass and tree around him was clearly "deconstructed" by his mental energy.

"Here it is!" Yang Xi transformed to five times his normal power, becoming a streak of red lightning, and pulled the astonished jungle ranger out of the bushes.

"How is that possible!"

The jungle ranger, who was being lifted up like a chicken by the neck, was shocked. He hadn’t even fired an arrow to avoid revealing his location, yet the hot and sour noodles superman still managed to identify him!

Is this guy even a B-rank hero?

058 New alias "Snake"

Jungle Ranger regretted attacking Hot and Sour Noodles Superman. "So...you've been hiding your strength all along!"

Yang Xi sneered: "Couldn't it be because of your merciless sarcasm that I broke through on the spot during the battle?"

The young hero, who was being choked, said with a fierce but weak voice, "I admit defeat today, but aren't you afraid that Shenlong Company will come after you if you dare to lay a hand on me? I am, after all, a top-tier hero of Shenlong Company."

Yang Xi's reply was a resounding slap in the face: "You're making it sound like you won't cause me trouble if I don't take action, but you've certainly reminded me."

Yang Xi stared thoughtfully at the Jungle Ranger, looking him up and down. The sight of the Sour and Spicy Noodles Superman's somewhat muscular body sent a chill down the Jungle Ranger's spine.

Could it be... that this hot and sour noodle superhero has that kind of hobby?

Jungle Ranger felt a tightness in his anus; he'd heard that muscular men were attracted to pretty boys like him.

"Um...brother, no, big brother, let's talk this out. You can't force things..."

Yang Xi had figured out a way to deal with this scumbag, while also preventing him from seeking revenge on Hot and Sour Noodles Superman later.

A wicked smile crept across his face...

The jungle ranger wore a mournful expression beneath that wicked smile...
