What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

A glass of cold water was poured over Liu Yuan's head, jolting him awake. He immediately flew into a rage: "Who dares to pour water on me, Young Master Liu? Have I not been beating people up lately? You son of a bitch... godfather!!!"

Just as Liu Yuan was about to get angry, he turned around and saw Yang Xi wearing a rooster-patterned vest.

Yang Xi turned the water glass upside down on Liu Yuan's head and laughed, "What, you want to hit me?"

Liu Yuan quickly took the water glass, shaking his head like a rattle drum, and said, "How could that be? If anyone should be hit, it should be Godfather who hits me!"

Yang Xi waved his hand, parted the girl's legs, and made room on the sofa to sit down.

Liu Yuan knew that Youji must have something to say when she came to see him, so he tentatively asked, "Godfather, should I let them out?"

Yang Xi shook his head; he had already used his super brain to knock these girls unconscious.

"Ah Yuan, do you really think I'm just using you to get close to your father?"

Liu Yuan's body trembled. Isn't that how it is?

Yang Xi continued, "You underestimate yourself. In my eyes, you have more potential to become a strong person than anyone else in Lukang City. For me, you are the main reason why I stayed in Lukang!"

Liu Yuan cried...

"Is...is this real...Godfather?!"

From birth until now, Liu Yuan has never experienced such a sense of affirmation...the happiness of being recognized.

I, Liu Yuan... am the person with the greatest potential in the entire Lukang City?

111 Genting Palace

Yang Xi struggled to pull her feet out of Liu Yuan's embrace.

"Alright, to dispel your doubts, I've decided to make an exception and give you the treatment that only official members of the organization receive!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan even stopped blowing his nose.

So, I was still in the internship stage before?

But what are the benefits of being a formal member of the Tribunal? Is it perhaps an A-grade superpower drug?

"Godfather... I'm so sorry. Even though I'm your godson, I still have to respect the organization's rules and regulations... What level of superpower serum is it?"

Liu Yuan was practically drooling uncontrollably.

Today, I, Liu Yuan, will declare myself the capped one, and I will be completely at odds with my own brother.

Become an A-rank hero... and have millions of fans...

Liu Yuan thought to himself with a sense of smug satisfaction.

Yang Xi, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. He waved to him and said, "Follow my steps."

This was Yang Xi's first time signing a "spiritual contract," but with his previous experience controlling puppets, he wasn't completely clueless.

Seeing that Yang Xi hadn't produced the uniquely flavored and unforgettable superpower potion, Liu Yuan wondered to himself, "Could it be that the formula for the A-grade superpower potion has changed, and some kind of ritual is required beforehand?"

Full of anticipation, Liu Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated his mind on the area between his eyebrows as Yang Xi instructed.

Yang Xi activated his Mind Contract ability, and a profound mental seal appeared on the tip of his outstretched index finger.

This spiritual seal has symmetrical and complex patterns and is composed of pure spiritual energy.

If Yang Xi didn't have the special ability of a mental contract, it would probably have taken a lot of effort to "create" such a complex curse mark with his mental energy.

Moreover, this is merely a superficial resemblance; there are countless mysteries within that Yang Xi, or rather, humanity at this stage, are unaware of.

In fact, to date, most people with superpowers only understand their abilities at the stage of "using" them, and very few have been able to truly grasp the essence of these mysterious powers.

Among the "superpowers" that human races can currently learn and use, the most famous is the "Alchemy Matrix".

The emergence of the Alchemy Matrix directly led to the creation of the "Equipment Maker" profession. The beast weapons they created greatly enhanced humanity's ability to fight against the invasion of beasts.

If Yang Xi can delve deeper into the spiritual seal of the Mind Contract and discover its operating rules, he might be able to achieve something like "founding a school of thought" like the great alchemist Damon.

In fact, the superpowers that can be most "understood" are the "inherited" abilities. These have structured combat techniques, but many superpowered individuals do not have Damon's talent. At most, they know what to do, but not why, and cannot teach others.

Ultimately, it's because superpowers have only existed for a short time. If humanity were given a few thousand years, our current civilization would definitely be replaced by magical or cultivation civilizations, or at the very least, it could be transformed into a mechanical civilization that can roam the stars.

Yang Xi pulled himself out of his thoughts and placed the mental seal on Liu Yuan's forehead.

Liu Yuan felt a burning sensation between his brows, followed by a refreshing coolness that washed over his body and mind.

He couldn't help but wonder, could this be the legendary initiation and transmission of power?

Just then, Liu Yuan heard his godfather's magnetic voice in his ear: "Use your spirit to sense the spiritual seal!"

A spiritual seal?

What is that thing? Can it make me stronger?

Trusting his godfather, Liu Yuan focused his attention on the space between his eyebrows without hesitation.

In a daze, he seemed to use his mental power to "see" the symmetrical and complex mental seal floating in the space between his eyebrows.

"Ding--!"

The moment Liu Yuan's spiritual power came into contact with the spiritual seal, the entire seal emitted a dazzling light, rendering everything Liu Yuan's spiritual power perceived as an extremely bright, incandescent white!

The spiritual incantation completed the signing of the spiritual contract in the space between Liu Yuan's eyebrows.

A symmetrical rhombus-shaped gemstone floated in the space between his eyebrows.

Yang Xi said, "Sense this gem again."

Liu Yuan followed the instructions blindly, and in an instant, he felt as if his soul had crossed a vast distance and reached the clouds.

Yang Xi sensed a kind of calling, but he did not resist this power, letting his consciousness drift with the tide.

Unlike Liu Yuan, as the contract holder, he could look down at the clouds from a higher vantage point.

Apart from the clouds, Liu Yuan was all alone in the same spot.

"Uh, I was still in my original form, I almost gave myself away."

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Yang Xi's appearance automatically changed into a rooster costume, but he was quite certain that he had not used any disguise abilities.

"So, above these clouds, everything I imagine can materialize?"

Yang Xi smiled faintly, and a magnificent temple rose up on the spot in front of Liu Yuan.

The temple has four enormous pillars, each engraved with reliefs shrouded in mist, but their majestic aura, seemingly existing since the beginning of time, is awe-inspiring and commands respect.

There were seats scattered on both sides, with people in various outfits sitting on them, but when Liu Yuan looked closely, they disappeared.

What shocked Liu Yuan the most were the twelve enormous seats at the very top, which were scattered across twelve positions in the main hall, arranged according to the directions of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

These seats are enormous, with gold-plated flowing patterns depicting the twelve zodiac animals in sequence.

"Silly boy, what are you standing there for?"

Yang Xi's voice came out, and Liu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and found that his godfather was sitting on the high Rooster seat and waving to him.

Liu Yuan's mouth went dry, and he said in a hoarse voice, "God...Godfather, what's going on?"

Yang Xi smiled and said, "Didn't we say we'd give you the treatment of a full member? This is the 'Cloud Palace' that our Judgment Organization uses to transmit intelligence. If you have any questions in the future, just activate the mental contract in your brow space and you'll be able to see me here."

This... the ruling organization is amazing!!!

Even their methods of communication are so sophisticated. Thinking of my old man's Kunlun Company, they either call all the heroes to a meeting or use video communication.

But look at the Judgment Organization now; all it takes to hold a meeting is for a soul to enter the Cloud Palace. That's the foundation of a large organization.

Even the Hero Association can only use holographic projection to show off.

Liu Yuan was once again incredibly grateful for his decision to choose the arbitration organization and to recognize Youji as his godfather.

With a way to find a sugar daddy anytime, Liu Yuan's suspicion that he was just a tool vanished instantly.

Yang Xi waved to Liu Yuan and said, "Because you are not a formal member yet, you can't see others. After you pass the test and get a seat in the future, I will let you get to know the other members of the organization."

Liu Yuan nodded to himself. No wonder he felt someone was next to him earlier, but when he looked closer, there was nothing there. It turned out he was just a "tourist". He could only watch five movies a day at the Cloud Palace. Ugh, I can't see anyone else.

Only after obtaining a seat and successfully "registering" can one officially communicate with other members.

Liu Yuan asked, "Godfather, what seats are left in our organization? Does anyone have a Zishu (Rat)?"

112 You are my real father, Liu Yuan?

Yang Xi flicked his finger and struck Liu Yuan on the forehead, sending him flying several meters.

He feigned anger and said, "Watch your words. The members of the Zodiac Seats in the main hall can still hear you. Are you trying to make your godfather fight the Rat for you by speaking so recklessly?"

Liu Yuan was terrified and quickly scrambled to his feet to hide behind Yang Xi.

Yang Xi sighed, waved his hand, and instantly time and space shifted, and they arrived in a slightly smaller palace.

"This is my Rooster Palace. From now on, you can come here to find me."

Realizing he had made a "big mistake," Liu Yuan nodded honestly and said, "Um... Godfather, is it okay to speak freely here now?"

Yang Xi sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Fine."

Liu Yuan asked curiously, "What kind of position will I get after I officially become a member of the organization?"

Yang Xi rolled his eyes at Liu Yuan. "You little rascal, the twelve zodiac animals are either my disguises or my puppets. Or maybe my sister can join in the future. You, my godson, are you really my real relatives?"

This forced me to make things up!

Yang Xi just randomly selected the number of seats below. What other secondary titles could be assigned under these zodiac seats?

Thirty-six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-two Earthly Fiends?

...There are too many, and the different names are all very similar, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

The twelve constellations?

...The quantity is too small, and it's also the culture of the second district, which is a bad mix of Eastern and Western cultures.

Otherwise, how about the Twenty-Eight Mansions? The number is just right. The key is that this kid has werewolf abilities, so we can just make up a Kui Mulang seat to appease him.

“Actually, as your godfather, I’ve already arranged a promotion for you,” Yang Xi said mysteriously. “Do you know about the Twenty-Eight Mansions in the culture of District One?”

Liu Yuan said, "This... I only know that there are twenty-eight constellations, but I'm not very clear about their specific names."

Yang Xi inwardly scoffed at the illiterate man.

However, Liu Yuan was originally a good-for-nothing rich kid. Although he was forced to turn over a new leaf under my intervention, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight by supplementing traditional culture.

We can't blame him.
