Chapter 548: Chapter 7: Urban Superpower User (Part 7)

Thank you ’Heart as vast as the sea’ for the reward, muah~

***************************

After the Association’s higher-ups learned about this, they frowned a bit. The target of Yang Yan’s sabotage in the dark was Li’s consortium, and Li’s consortium still wields significant influence over Xia City.

Originally, the impression Yang Yan gave to everyone in the Association wasn’t very good, and now with this incident, the higher-ups have an even worse impression of her.

When someone joins the Superpower Association, the Association naturally investigates them, especially after Yang Yan showcased her talents, all her details were scrutinized.

Ordinary Association members may not know, but the higher-ups and the chairman certainly do.

This Yang Yan was once a close friend of Li Shuning from the Li Family. Surprisingly, when Yang Yan was that ’incident’ with the Rabbit Demon, it was Li Shuning who saved her. But Yang Yan hysterically accused Li Shuning of harming her.

A regular person had no means to orchestrate the events at the gathering, which were fully planned by Yang Yan herself. How could they harm her? Could it be possible for a normal person to direct a demon? It’s simply baffling.

And now she’s targeting the Li Family.

Such character is really not likable.

A person can be desirous and have other flaws, but some basic ethics are of utmost importance.

If she wouldn’t spare even her close friend and life-saver, who knows what madness she will do in the future?

If Yang Yan had been taken away by the Rabbit Demon back then,

she would have likely been ruined too.

Not being thankful is one thing, but to do such things is indeed intolerable.

However, with the supernatural becoming increasingly rampant, they couldn’t simply discard someone with Yang Yan’s combat capabilities.

The Association ended up having someone give her a warning. Those who tend to follow the winds naturally wouldn’t dare to overdo it anymore, especially since Li’s consortium has its own backing, so Li’s consortium was naturally fine.

After Li Shuning found out, she merely chuckled.

At least the Association has some bottom line, otherwise….

But in the original storyline, Yang Yan was unrestrained.

Probably because the Association wouldn’t oversee ordinary people, and in the storyline, Li Family members were unaware of the Association’s existence, leaving no way to complain. Moreover, Yang Yan’s status in the Association was quite significant at the time. Most importantly, Yang Yan had such a favorable impression on others.

After all, she aimed to be the number one in the Association.

So naturally, she gave a lot of attention to her image.

This also led to the downfall of Li’s consortium in the storyline, with Li Shuning’s entire family moving abroad.

Now that such incidents happened, it’s uncertain whether she will climb to that position like in the storyline.

Yang Yan also knew that the Association intervened. She was somewhat upset, but before she could do anything, the chairman summoned her.

Yang Yan felt uneasy and went to the chairman’s office. Once inside, the chairman gestured for her to sit on the chair opposite him.

“Chairman, you asked for me?”

The chairman pressed his forehead and, smiling, said, “Xiaoyan, there are some things I want to discuss with you.”

“As they say, you’ve been with the Association for a while now, and you must be well aware of the current landscape. Our enemies are cunning and formidable, and we must do our utmost to protect humanity so that people can live well; that is our purpose.”

“You are still young. I understand there might be some grievances in your heart, but the past has passed. There’s no need to hold onto it. Li’s consortium is crucial to Xia City. Furthermore, we’re Guardians, not here to indulge in personal whims using our positions.”

“You are young, talented, and have a bright future ahead. If you only focus on the past, you’ll only disappoint those who have high expectations of you. Do you understand what I mean, Xiaoyan?”

Yang Yan felt a jolt in her heart, but she sweetly smiled and said, “Chairman, I understand. I won’t do unnecessary things anymore.”

“Good, as long as you understand. Next, there’s a month-long training in Beidu. I’ve submitted a list, and you’re on it. Make the most of it, learn from each other, and communicate. Although you awakened late, I think you’re no less than any other geniuses out there. Seize the opportunity.”

Yang Yan stood up quickly, “Thank you, Chairman, for nurturing me.”

Yang Yan knew the chairman reprimanded her but also allowed her to attend the training, showing where the chairman stood.

She was secretly happy, knowing that the chairman valued her a lot.

She understood that the training was only for geniuses from various regions, greatly benefiting her future development.

And it indeed broadened her connections.

But with only a month and a half until Li Shuning’s awakening, she wondered if there would be any chance after returning.

Never mind, she’d figure it out later.

Such a great opportunity cannot be missed.

While Yang Yan went to Beidu for training, Li Shuning started studying superpowers on her end.

The original character awakened her superpower a month and a half later. She didn’t know when Yang Yan would make a comeback, but being more prepared was never wrong.

She had already begun researching after the Rabbit Demon incident.

When Yang Yan and the Rabbit Demon were up to no good, she had used her spiritual power to cover Yang Yan and observe closely, wanting to know what causes awakening.

After days of research, she felt she had some leads.

Lately, her spiritual power had been continuously stimulating herself, hoping to trigger an awakening.

Her spiritual power attacked her own mental sea, struggling to find a second one.

The kind of pain Li Shuning endured was quite agonizing too.

But it wasn’t all for nothing; there was some gain.

Recently, Li Shuning felt something different about her body.

She could occasionally sense a hidden power within her body.

After another hour of stimulation, completely exhausted and drenched, Li Shuning took a shower and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, when Li Shuning woke up and opened her eyes, she was wide-eyed.

She discovered there seemed to be a gentle power flowing through her meridians.

That power was still weak, but Li Shuning’s spiritual power, already at its peak, naturally detected it.

She jumped up excitedly, remembering the storyline, and fused her mind with her spiritual power to guide the force. The next moment, she noticed a red glow in her palm.

Oh, it changed color again?

In the original storyline, the protagonist had a golden glow, but in the altered storyline, the protagonist exhibited a black glow.

Her understanding was that the golden glow was the protagonist’s innate power, and the black change was due to a corrupted nature, right?

So what does her current red glow mean?

Does it mean blood will be shed?

Indeed, she’s here to make some people bleed.

Li Shuning bursted into laughter, finding her own random musings quite amusing.

No matter the color, as long as there’s strength, any color is fine.
