Chapter 277: Blue Flash

After he killed the black cat, a green energy ball appeared out of thin air in Lin Yao’s Sea of ??Consciousness.

Compared to the giant energy ball in the middle, it looked a bit small, but even so, it still had 3,000 grams of energy.

‘I got 3,000 grams of energy for killing one cat. If I kill 10 beasts, I will get 30,000 grams of energy. By killing them, I can also receive points and merit points. That would be a total of three benefits. Beasts, here I come!’

In other people’s opinion, beasts were dangerous and were even seen as disasters, but in Lin Yao’s opinion, these beasts were like fruit in the field waiting for him to harvest them.

While Lin Yao was very enthusiastic and had a strong fighting spirit, Qin Ya’s voice was heard.

“The second mission has been found. This is in ** Park… By the way, Ah Yao, what beasts are you good at locating?”

“Monsters who are malicious to humans. Remember, when you search for tasks in the future, look mainly for beasts that actively hunt down human beings. Don’t find monsters that kill people by mistake or are simply on the run.”

People used different search methods based on the different areas of expertise that they had. Judging from what Lin Yao had just said, he searched for beasts by relying on his ability to distinguish good and evil!

Good and Evil Distinguishment was the first talent given to Lin Yao by the Tree of Heaven Punishment and it also seemed like a useless talent.

However, it had many functions. At the very least, people could not ambush Lin Yao.

The beasts had many ways of hiding. Take for example the tiger-like beast just now, which had disguised itself as a black cat. Regardless of its strength, aura, or even energy and magnetic field, it had looked like a normal cat.

Such beasts were very difficult to find. However, regardless of the type of the beast, if they actively hunted down humans, they would be malicious toward humans, and Good and Evil Distinguishment allowed Lin Yao to quickly locate the villains hidden in the city.

‘Humans have rich emotions. Unless they are evil gangsters that are anti-human, most people have complex emotions. In a peaceful and stable society, emotions are mainly positive. The freaks are pure evil, while there are good and evil beasts. However, at least from my perspective, most of the beasts that actively attack humans are villains. It would not be wrong to find malicious objects or beasts and kill all of them!

‘Unfortunately, although Good and Evil Distinguishment has a wide range, its range is still not as wide as the range of Electromagnetic Induction. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to listen to the briefing of the powerhouses to calculate and analyze the beasts’ active regions.’

As his mind jolted, Lin Yao also flew toward ** Park. Upon arriving, Lin Yao realized that this mission would be a bit troublesome. Although there were a lot of people there, after listening to the briefing, Lin Yao discovered that they were totally clueless.

Feeling desperate, Lin Yao could only activate his Good and Evil Distinguishment ability and flap his Tempest Wings to fly in the air at a high speed.

As a result, Lin Yao was delayed for a… minute!

It could not be helped. First of all, although the range of Good and Evil Distinguishment was not as wide as the range of Electromagnetic Induction, the observation range was still about 1,000 meters wide.

Besides, Lin Yao, who was flapping his Tempest Wings, was flying at a high speed in the sky.

Actually, he had an unblocked view in the air. However, in order to be efficient, he even activated the first-level gene lock to fly in the sky in an extreme state.

In this state, Lin Yao’s speed was as fast as electric light. Other people could only see the flash of the electric light, and Lin Yao had already disappeared out of their sight.

While he was patrolling at such a speed, as well as using the Good and Evil Distinguishment, which could be used to sense malice toward human beings, his searching speed was naturally unimaginably fast.

This particular beast also had amazing abilities. It could blend in with the trees and hide among them.

In the end, lightning struck the tree, and when the tree fell, the beast was also smashed to death.

Lin Yao looked at the dead beast and shook his head. ‘Why didn’t you run immediately upon seeing the energy fluctuations in my body instead of staying put? You shouldn’t think that you will get lucky. You could have escaped!’

“Forget it, I will say no more. Qin Ya, the mission in ** Park is complete.”

“Okay, the next mission is at *** Plaza, and the following mission is at **** High School. You should fly east…”

This way, Lin Yao, who was completing missions, did not need to land at all. He soared in the sky of Shanghai, looking for beasts that harbored hatred for humans.

After finding them, he would either use Heavenly Thunder to slam them or use the Super Electromagnetic Gun to launch a super long-range strike.

As the monsters who were good at hiding were very confident in their hiding ability, they would not run right away when they noticed Lin Yao, who was surging with energy fluctuations. Perhaps they did not dare run. If they ran away once people with energy fluctuations appeared around them, they’d be beasts that were easily frightened and would have been found ages ago.

Thanks to their calmness, they had indeed escaped many disasters. However, Lin Yao was different. When the energy fluctuated in his body, it meant that he had already caught the beast.

By then, it was too late for the beasts to act. Regardless of whether he used a lightning strike or a Super Electromagnetic Gun, his speed was extremely fast. Unless one could predict the attack in advance, it would be too difficult to hide after the attack was launched!

Therefore, every beast was found by Lin Yao and struck to death by the Heavenly Thunder. He did not need long to kill every beast.

As the tasks were completed very quickly, many warlords who were also searching for beasts had a mental breakdown. In the age of the Internet, some people loved to post messages on social media. The martial artists who had a mental breakdown posted what they had seen online.

Many people had been startled by Lin Yao and took to the Internet to post messages about what they’d encountered. Eventually, there was even a legend about “Blue Flash” in Shanghai.

“Oh, I am having a breakdown. I worked so hard to search for beasts for a long time, but I didn’t find any. This is alright, but there’s a kid who flew to this area from far away. He stayed on the spot for less than 10 seconds and found and killed the beasts. The child was about the same age as my son. Are young people nowadays so powerful?”

A woman posted her complaints on the largest forum in Shanghai. What she did not expect was that half an hour later, her post would become the hottest topic in town and garner numerous replies.

“This is nothing. What happened here was more shocking. We searched high and low for the beast, but to no avail. Then, a flashing electric figure flew over. He did not stop. He flew directly over our heads.”

“There is nothing shocking about this. He merely flew at a high speed.”

“Flying fast alone is, of course, not a big deal, but when the guy flew past, thunder struck and it killed the monster we were looking for. To be honest, I didn’t know what happened while there was thunder and lightning. I finally discovered the reason when I received the official message that the beast had been removed.”

“Crap! What happened in your area is very normal. Did you know what the monster that we were searching for was? It was graffiti hidden on the wall. It was an ink-like beast. According to the authorities, this ink monster turned into graffiti and hid on the wall. Its aura and mental strength were hidden as well. It was exactly the same as real graffiti. Unless it moved about, one couldn’t find it at all. But do you know how much time it took for a powerhouse to find it? Half a day, an hour, or 10 minutes? Let me tell you. All these answers are wrong. Three seconds. That fellow is indeed a super-genius. He was there for three seconds before he found the monster.”

A group of warlords was complaining about their own experiences on the Internet. When they talked about the powerhouse in their areas, they seemed to share weal and woe with the powerhouse for unknown reasons and they would not allow others to question the powerhouses that they were talking about.

Therefore, three people ended up arguing with each other in the posts below that particular thread. Their argument was about which powerhouse was stronger. Some said that it was the second powerhouse, who continued flying from beginning to end without stopping and hence was obviously stronger.

Some people said that the third powerhouse was stronger. The ink-like freak was very peculiar. Although the person who had posted the thread did not reply, there was a martial artist who executed the task with her. He was upset that the powerhouse in his area was being “humiliated” and he made a comment to explain the strength and abilities of the monster.

In the end, as the three of them ended up quarreling on the Internet, this attracted many people’s attention. People who liked to post what they experienced also shared what they had seen today.

This in turn caused another round of arguments and debates.

While the keyboard warriors were arguing with each other, one person suddenly noticed something. “Wait a minute. A young figure covered in blue electric currents was flying and searching for monsters at an extremely fast speed. Sss… Have all of you ever thought of the possibility that these super-geniuses are actually the same person?”
