The Reversal of Heaven Begins with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer

Lin Mu could clearly feel the girl in his arms’ awkward yet powerful “attack”, as well as the astonishing heat and violent trembling that emanated through her thin clothing.

His spider-sense was also responding to this strong attraction, but his powerful mental strength was enough to control this instinct.

However, continuing to control this situation would be worse than being an animal.

Chapter 45: Training

One day later.

Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, bathing the room in a warm, golden glow, while tiny dust motes danced leisurely in the beams of light.

Cindy's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she felt was a languid, bone-deep soreness, but intertwined with it was an unprecedented sense of clarity, brimming with vitality.

The previous images flashed through her mind like a high-speed film reel, clear and intense, making her cheeks instantly burn. She subconsciously turned her head to look at her side.

Lin Mu had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard, one hand casually supporting his head, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. When he noticed Cindy waking up, his eyes held a hint of mockery and undisguised admiration.

He was radiant, as if the exhausting "battle" was nothing more than a warm-up for him.

Good morning, dear 'Spider Silk'.

Lin Mu spoke with a smile, his voice exceptionally magnetic.

"Good morning...Lin..."

Cindy's voice was faint and barely audible. She shyly pulled the blanket up a little higher, trying to cover her burning face.

But then she looked down at her hands, which were fair and slender, yet she could feel a powerful force beneath her skin.

"You are already a superhuman, but you are not yet proficient in using your powers and are prone to hurting people. It's best if you don't go to school for the time being."

Lin Mu said something, then threw off the covers and got up, his smooth muscle lines resembling an ancient Greek sculpture in the sunlight.

He pointed around the room: "Take a look at your 'artwork'."

Cindy looked in the direction he was pointing and was immediately so shocked that she covered her mouth.

Strands of white cobwebs clung to the ceiling, walls, and even the chandeliers and furniture.

They crisscross, shimmering with a crystalline light in the sunlight, and in some places they even form irregular nets.

The whole room looked like a spider's web.

"Oh my god! This... I did all of this?"

Cindy 820 was both embarrassed and surprised, with a hint of bewilderment about her own power.

"if not?"

Lin Mu shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Having just gained the ability, and with emotions being rather...excited, it's normal to lose control of one's instincts."

"Don't worry, these organic spider silks will decompose automatically after a while, but they still need to be processed."

He walked to the center of the room, stretched out his hands, palms facing up.

He curled his fingers into a claw, as if an invisible force field was emanating from him.

The scattered spider silk seemed to be soldiers receiving orders, detaching from their attachments and gathering in his palm as if drawn by a force, quickly compressing and condensing into a dense and soft white silk ball the size of a volleyball.

The whole process was smooth and fluid, full of a strange sense of rhythm.

In just a few seconds, all the cobwebs in the room were cleared away, as if they had never been there.

Cindy stared in disbelief: "How...how did you do that?"

"Precise and meticulous control."

Lin Mu casually tossed the silk ball up and caught it again, then threw it into the trash can in the corner: "This is the key to mastering power, and it's also the first lesson you'll learn."

"Alright, go take a shower and change your clothes first. We'll go to our new house later. The driver should be on his way."

Half an hour later, the two finished washing up.

Cindy changed into a light gray tracksuit that Lin Mu had prepared for her in advance. The fabric was comfortable and the cut was well-fitting, unexpectedly fitting her figure perfectly.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her skin was as smooth as jade, her eyes were bright, and she radiated an unprecedented glow from the inside out. She felt a little dazed, as if she were in an incredibly real and beautiful dream.

Just then, Lin Mu answered his phone. It was Norman Osborn calling personally to inform him that all the formalities had been completed and he could move in at any time.

　(cdbh) Downstairs, a black Maybach was waiting, and the driver, dressed in a smart uniform, respectfully opened the car door for the two of them.

The car drove into a quiet, upscale neighborhood in Queens and finally stopped in front of a modern, two-story villa with a private yard and garage.

The villa offers excellent privacy, exquisite interior decoration, and complete facilities, a world apart from the previous shabby rental house.

"This will be our home from now on."

After confirming that there were no cameras around the room, Lin Mu placed a key in Cindy's hand and lightly touched her palm with his fingertips: "Pick a room you like."

Cindy stood in the spacious and bright living room, looking out at the meticulously maintained courtyard through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and felt her breath slow down.

Just a day ago, she was an ordinary high school girl who was bullied by school bullies, but now she has superpowers, lives in a dream mansion, and has an unfathomable yet inexplicably reassuring Lin Mu by her side.

This dramatic change in her life left her speechless for a moment.

"Alright, time for the amazement is over."

Lin Mu clapped his hands, pulling Cindy back to reality from her daze: "Today is Saturday, perfect for your special training."

"Your current power is like a supercar with the accelerator welded shut but no steering wheel—it's beautiful, but also extremely dangerous."

"The first priority is to learn to control it."

He led Cindy to the spacious lawn in the backyard.

"The first step in special training: strength control."

Lin Mu picked up an ordinary glass and handed it to Cindy: "Try taking it from my hand."

It was just a simple action, but Cindy was a little nervous, and when she reached out to touch the cup, she applied a little too much force—

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the glass shattered into a pile of fragments in her hand without any doubt.

"Ah! I'm sorry!"

Cindy withdrew her hand as if burned, quickly apologized, and her face was full of annoyance.

"It's okay, it's like this at first, you'll learn to control it."

Lin Mu was originally a grandmaster-level martial artist with extraordinary comprehension and excellent control over his power. He could easily handle heavy tasks and light tasks with ease, and his control over power was at the microscopic level. Therefore, after obtaining Spider-Man's abilities and the human enhancement serum, he was able to quickly master the power to become stronger.

Cindy Moon was just an ordinary student who suddenly gained enormous power; it's normal that she couldn't control it well.

Lin Mu's expression remained unchanged as he magically produced another identical cup: "Continue. Concentrate your mind, forget your past muscle memory, use your new senses to 'feel' it, guide your power, instead of being driven by it."

With each attempt, the number of glass shards on the lawn gradually increased.

Cindy gradually became calm and focused, moving away from her initial panic and frustration.

Her learning ability was already outstanding; she possessed genius-level intelligence and a photographic memory. Coupled with the extraordinary perception brought by her spider sense and Lin Mu's precise guidance, her progress was astonishing.

After crushing the fifth cup, she reached out again, this time with just the right amount of force.

She gently took the cup from Lin Mu's hand. The cup was intact, without even a crack.

"very good!"

A hint of approval flashed in Lin Mu's eyes: "This is a successful start. Next is the absorption ability. Try to walk up to that wall."

Cindy looked at the smooth exterior of the villa, took a deep breath, concentrated, and imagined herself becoming one with the wall.

She carefully raised her hands and feet and climbed the vertical wall.

Her hands and feet seemed to have grown invisible suction cups, sticking firmly to the wall.

"I did it!"

She exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't get distracted, get moving."

Lin Mu instructed from below, his voice steady: "Feel the subtle shifts in your center of gravity, completely trust your abilities. You are now the spider, and the wall is your plain."

Cindy began trying to walk on the vertical wall. At first, she wobbled and almost fell, but she quickly got the hang of it and her movements became more and more fluid and natural.

She began to accelerate, eventually even running and tumbling on the vertical wall, hanging upside down in the shadows under the ceiling like the most agile cat, feeling the strange sensation of blood rushing to her head.

"awesome!"

She waved excitedly at Lin Mu from her high vantage point, her face beaming with the joy of discovering a new continent.

Lin Mu smiled and bent down to pick up a small pebble from the grass: "Finally, there's spider sense and reaction speed."

“I’ll use this to attack you. Try to dodge it, or… catch it.”

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his finger seemingly casually, but the pebble made a whooshing sound as it shot towards Cindy like a bullet.

Cindy felt a slight tingling sensation on the back of her scalp, a strange warning signal sweeping through her body. Her body reacted almost automatically before her brain could make a judgment.

Her head tilted swiftly and slightly, and a pebble flew past, grazing her hair.

"Your reaction instincts are good, but your movements aren't smooth enough. Keep going!"

Lin Mu's attacks came one after another, becoming faster and faster, and from increasingly tricky angles.

Cindy was initially flustered and was hit several times. Although Lin Mu controlled his strength, she still felt pain.

But with the constant warnings from her spider senses and repeated high-speed, life-or-death dodging training, her reactions became increasingly precise and efficient.

Later, she was even able to predict the trajectory of some attacks and tried to catch the small stones that Lin Mu flicked out with her bare hands at an astonishing speed.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, marking the temporary end of the special training.

Cindy sat on the grass, drenched in sweat and slightly out of breath. Her hair was soaked with sweat and clung to her skin, but her face was filled with immense excitement and a sense of accomplishment.

She has already touched the threshold of controlling her own power. Although she is still some distance away from the microscopic level of control, at least she will no longer easily damage everyday items or accidentally crush people's hands.

"Today is just the beginning."

Lin Mu handed her a glass of milk: "Your potential is far more than this. The specific application of spider silk, practical combat skills, and your keen mental perception all require a lot of systematic practice to develop."

"Ok!"

Cindy nodded vigorously, took the water glass, and said with unwavering determination, "I will try my best! Lin, thank you... thank you for giving me all of this."

Her gaze fell on Lin Mu, filled with gratitude and dependence.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Let's go, take a shower, and then we'll go out to eat."

"I also need to go."

Little Red spoke, saying it wasn't interested in human food, but simply enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

"Okay, I'll take you with me."

Lin Mu didn't mind bringing Xiao Hong along.

This super spider is very easy to keep. It catches mosquitoes and insects to eat on its own. It's small, so you can carry it with you. It's also obedient and can even help in battle. An ordinary person would die if bitten by it, so it's a pretty good pet.

Chapter 46: Green Goblin Armor

"Lin Mu, a Chinese, had a very ordinary background before, so why was he able to produce so much gold...? Is it superpowers? Or does he have a political background? Or... both?"

Norman Osborn stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his top-floor office at Osborn Industries, gazing at the thin yet weighty personal file, lost in thought.

Outside the window, the sky over New York City was gradually being dyed orange-red by the setting sun, but a layer of fog that was difficult to dispel shrouded his heart.

Ten tons of gold were taken without any international transfer records or customs declarations, as if they had appeared out of thin air.

This man named Lin Mu is definitely not simple.

"never mind……"

Norman finally put the documents into the shredder, thinking, "I need to focus on the tech expo in two weeks; I'll deal with the rest later."

The military's ultimatum hung like a sword over Norman's head, leaving him with few options.

Today, Dr. Strom's ninety-seventh in vivo test of the human enhancement drug failed again. Another mouse went berserk and killed several of its kind.

Clearly, the flaws of the human enhancement drug remained unchanged; the only unique element was the man named Lin Mu.

For the sake of Osborn Industries' survival and Harry's future, cooperating with Lin Mu is Norman's only option at present.
