After calming down.

Su Xin looked at his personal panel. At this time, there were more than fifty thousand causal points left. His rule was to consider upgrading only after exceeding fifty thousand causal points, and this number was just at the acceptable line.

Even if a less satisfactory trait appeared, he still had enough points on hand to refresh it.

So he decisively chose to upgrade.

“System, upgrade Burst Shooter!”

“Please choose from the following two traits: 1. Trajectory Correction, 2. Phantom Rain of Bullets.”

[Trajectory Correction: When launching an object, its flight trajectory can be moderately corrected, causing it to deviate towards the target direction by up to thirty degrees.]

[Note: The corrected deviation angle is based on the initial direction at the time of launch.]

[Phantom Rain of Bullets: When launching an object, up to one hundred identical-looking phantoms of the projectile can be produced to confuse others.]

Su Xin did not have high expectations for the Burst Shooter superpower, as it was just an auxiliary enhancement type of ability. The quality of the trait wouldn’t differ much, so he didn’t bother wasting causal points and directly chose the first one.

After a few simple attempts, Su Xin put away the short knife and instantly teleported back to the port.

…

At the port.

A dense crowd stood on the open ground, everyone silent with a somewhat despondent expression, like prisoners awaiting judgment.

Among the crowd, Fang Mengzhu stood alone in a corner, staring blankly in the direction of the sea, lost in thought.

Shen Liyong, the person in charge of the training base, walked up to her and said in a low voice:

“Rakshasa, don’t be impulsive. Su Xin’s strength is beyond our resistance. No matter what grudges there are, you must hold back, understand?”

Fang Mengzhu retracted her gaze and said indifferently:

“I understand, I won’t seek my own death.”

Shen Liyong continued: “Su Xin previously carried out a massacre at two other bases but specifically promised not to kill superpower users. He seems to value superpower users or doesn’t want to kill his own kind. With your ability, as long as you don’t defy him, you likely won’t be killed. Don’t worry.”

Fang Mengzhu had been in training earlier and didn’t know about this news. She nodded upon hearing it.

Actually, Shen Liyong didn’t know much about the situation. After all, during the attacks on the two other bases, the staff there had no time to share much detailed information with the other bases; everyone was just trying to escape.

And the headquarters staff, uncertain of Su Xin’s attitude, didn’t dare to rashly share the news of the headquarters’ complete fall with others, let alone mention that everyone had already surrendered.

As a result, Shen Liyong didn’t know that Su Xin’s purpose in sparing them was to recruit them as subordinates.

He could only speculate based on Su Xin’s behavior, thinking that Su Xin really wouldn’t kill them.

At this moment, Su Xin’s voice suddenly sounded from a distance, attracting everyone’s attention—

“Shen Liyong, is everyone here?”

Shen Liyong quickly replied, “Everyone’s here!”

Su Xin’s gaze was domineering as he loudly proclaimed:

“Good, then I’ll be blunt. The headquarters of the Nirvana Association has already been subdued by me. From now on, they are no longer members of the Nirvana Association and have no relation with it. From now on, they are all under me and must obey my orders.”

“The same applies to all of you.”

“The Nirvana Association will soon disappear from this world. Do not associate yourselves with this organization anymore, or you will be my enemy, and for my enemies, there is only one path—death.”

“Do you all understand?”

The crowd couldn’t help but look at each other.

Half of these people were formal members of the Nirvana Association, while the other half were new members who hadn’t been in the organization for long and were currently undergoing organizational training, such as Fang Mengzhu and others.

In the eyes of these new members, they had just joined the Nirvana Association and had started to develop some sense of belonging to the organization, only to now be suddenly required to change allegiance and cut ties with the Nirvana Association to become Su Xin’s subordinates.

This wasn’t too difficult to accept.

After all, Su Xin’s power was known to the world. The entire Nirvana Association combined couldn’t match him, and becoming his subordinate was considered an honor for everyone.

Some young superpower users were even secretly harboring a fervent admiration for Su Xin, who was hailed as “God Su” by the world.

However, under such circumstances, it wasn’t appropriate to agree too enthusiastically, so everyone exchanged glances with each other.

No one opposed aloud.

No one agreed aloud either.

The scene fell into silence.

Instead, Shen Liyong, who was being watched by many, had no choice but to respond. He said solemnly:

“We understand!”

With him taking the lead, everyone else began to speak up in response, and the atmosphere became lively.

Su Xin smiled slightly and gently pressed down his raised hand.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

“Alright, since no one has raised any objections, from now on, you must sever all connections with the Nirvana Association, eradicate any traces of it, and until my new orders are given, no one is allowed to leave this base.”

“Shen Liyong, organize these tasks, then bring all the important members, including management and superpower users, with me. I have some instructions to give.”

Saying this, Su Xin walked towards a certain direction.

As he walked, he closed his eyes and calmly waited for three seconds before entering the stealth state.

At the same time, he quietly activated the True and False Illusion Body trait, leaving an Illusion Body in place of himself, while his true self quietly returned to the crowd.

While Shen Liyong was organizing tasks, Su Xin quietly plucked a few strands of his hair. Shen Liyong turned around cautiously but found nothing unusual, then resumed his instructions.

Su Xin then moved to another area and similarly plucked a few strands of Fang Mengzhu’s long hair.

He remembered that Fang Mengzhu’s ability seemed quite impressive, capable of disintegrating objects into powder, making her destructive power potentially very formidable.

Additionally, he picked out a few young people in the crowd wearing the same uniform as Fang Mengzhu, similarly plucking a few strands of their hair, knowing this was the Nirvana Association’s training base, and those wearing the same uniform style were likely new members, with a high probability of possessing superpowers.

Su Xin first instantly teleported back to his temporary base, placing these hairs separately into sealable bags, then instantly teleported back to the island.

When he revealed himself, the Illusion Body automatically vanished, making it appear to outsiders that Su Xin had suddenly teleported.

Shen Liyong led a dozen people to Su Xin’s front, including Fang Mengzhu.

However, both Su Xin and Fang Mengzhu acted as if they didn’t recognize each other, one at the front, the other in the crowd, their eyes casually crossing paths.

“Introduce yourselves briefly, name, age, rank and position in the Nirvana Association, and if you have any superpowers, briefly describe them. If any superpowers are inconvenient to disclose, inform me separately later.”

“Let’s start with you.”

Seeing Su Xin pointing at him, Shen Liyong composed himself and began introducing:

“My name is Shen Liyong, code name Tyrant Fist, 45 years old, previously a partner level in the Nirvana Association, position as the general manager of the training base. My superpower, which I call Blood Armor, allows me to forge a full set of armor using my blood, enhancing my combat abilities. Damages can be continually repaired by consuming my blood…”

After Shen Liyong’s introduction, the other dozen people also introduced themselves one by one.

Once everyone finished introducing, Su Xin pointed to a young man named Tian Zixiang, saying:

“Lin Zixiang, from now on you are the highest person in charge of this training base, everyone must cooperate with your management. If anyone refuses, inform me the next time I’m here, I’ll back you up.”

“If the next time I’m here, I find you have died, I will choose at least three people from everyone present to accompany you in death.”

“Does everyone understand?”

Lin Zixiang’s superpower is a rather ordinary physical enhancement type, capable of amplifying leg strength, highly limited and almost worthless, merely slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Including Lin Zixiang himself, everyone was puzzled why Su Xin suddenly promoted him to be the total person in charge here, but regardless of understanding, everyone including Shen Liyong could only accept, solemnly responding in unison:

“Understood!”

“Additionally, you… you… you…”

Su Xin pointed at Shen Liyong, Fang Mengzhu, and three others, then said:

“You five prepare yourselves over the next two days. I have other arrangements for you, and we’ll depart in a couple of days. If there are any handovers needed, handle them promptly within these two days.”

“Alright.”

The five responded one after another.

“Before I leave, one last reminder, don’t even think about running away. If I can find you once, I can find you countless times.”

“But my kindness has limits; I won’t forgive an enemy a second time, nor will I tolerate anyone’s betrayal.”

“Now, you all belong to me, alive as my people, dead as ghosts under my command.”

“At the same time, since I decided to take you under my wing, I am your support. If you encounter trouble, I can back you up, helping you survive better in this world.”

“That’s it, all has been said, I’ll first leave, I’ll be back in two days.”

After finishing, Su Xin instantly teleported away.

…

Su Xin had always accumulated space-time marks whenever he had time, including the previous period when he trained in the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day state, accumulating more than two hundred thousand space-time marks.

So today, his rapid movements around the world consumed merely a few hundred space-time marks each time, which was no big deal to him.

In just a blink, Su Xin instantly teleported back to the Nirvana Association headquarters.

By this time, Ma Boyi’s wounds had already been addressed simply, and others were ready with the various materials Su Xin previously requested.

Upon Su Xin’s return to headquarters, everyone immediately handed the materials over for him to review, awaiting Su Xin’s forthcoming new orders.
