My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 163 - 162: Dance of Chaotic Demons

The county town where Master Bai the Fourteenth resides.

On a small street spared from disaster, there’s a fortune-teller’s stall.

A middle-aged man wearing round sunglasses sits at the stall, his originally hunching back gradually straightening.

The townsfolk on the street seem busy, conducting post-disaster reconstruction under the leader’s command.

Originally, no one would have noticed him.

Suddenly, the fortune-teller joins his fingers together, takes off his sunglasses, revealing his bright, piercing eyes.

"Your eyes are fine? Then why do you pretend to be a blind fortune-teller? Isn’t that deceiving people?"

A passing teacher noticed the fortune-teller’s action and couldn’t help questioning him.

His voice deliberately raised, wanting everyone to know the truth and avoid being deceived.

The ruffians sitting by the roadside suddenly became interested, aggressively approaching the fortune-teller: "Exactly, how dare you deceive people! Bastard, pay back the money!"

The fortune-teller let out a long sigh.

He stood up, lifting his foot to lightly tap.

The movement was gentle.

But,

Boom!

Suddenly, a massive explosion sounded, stirring up billowing smoke and dust.

From the point where he stomped his foot on the ground, extending a crack several centimeters wide.

[Stepping on the Stars and Treading the Dipper (Color): Acquire Divine Dao Step Technique, Master of the Celestial Flying Essence, Earth Spirit, True Human Transporter, Unite the Three Talents in Virtue, Nine Qi Combined, all ghosts and gods, revolving heaven and earth.]

...

On the country road heading to Sheepbeard Mountain.

A man and a woman were facing off.

For Ding Kai, he actually disliked the appearance of a color wheel in the Ability Pool.

It causes the situation to lose control, moving entirely into the realm of luck, significantly diminishing the hard-trained sense he honed in school.

Of course, what he disliked even more was the appearance of a Color Level Ability Pool, yet he hadn’t randomly acquired any useful ability.

"Why are the other two risks so high... can I only choose this one?"

Facing the road-blocking female Death Fighter, Ding Kai made his choice.

[Needle Woman’s Spirit (Color): 20% chance to trigger Needle Woman effect with each attack initiated by the user’s body, inflicting true damage of 10% of the target’s maximum health.]

"What are you waiting for?"

The female Death Fighter leaped high like a flea, punching down toward Ding Kai.

[Ascension (Color): Acquire this ability, user’s physical attributes will increase tenfold from the current base.]

The ability she chose was straightforward and forceful, purely numerical overwhelming.

It’s not just a simple increase in strength and speed; such enhancement includes metabolism, cardiopulmonary function, bone strength, etc., representing a comprehensive improvement.

With one punch she struck, the ground shattered instantly.

...

Second Young Master Hu, pressed by the serpent shadow above the altar, was listlessly counting the ants crawling over the table edge.

In the eastern sky of Sheepbeard Mountain, dense dark clouds quickly gathered.

From time to time, tree branch-like lightning flashed in the clouds.

Rumble~

A thunderous clap startled Second Young Master Hu.

"Why is there thunder over there?"

The lightning in the dark clouds flashed more frequently, gradually reaching what could be described as snakes of electricity dancing.

Rumble!!!

Another resounding thunder echoed.

This time, Second Young Master Hu clearly saw a lightning bolt as thick as a barrel splitting towards the ground.

He stared wide-eyed at the heavy dark clouds, watching for a while, yet amidst the tangled lightning, he vaguely discerned a figure?

In a daze, he almost thought he was seeing things.

"This doesn’t seem right, does it?"

...

Sheepbeard Mountain, within a pine leaf forest.

Two Death Fighters were quietly conspiring.

"Have you chosen yet?"

"Not yet, don’t rush, what’s the effect of the three abilities you randomly got?"

"How about we stick to what we initially planned? You strong control, I rule-kill?"

"Well, I always felt this combination is not stable enough."

The turbaned Death Fighter angrily said: "The hell, I’m not scared, what are you worried about? Who can withstand this set of ours?"

"After all, everyone has color abilities this round, what if an unparalleled ability appears..." The other Death Fighter shrank his neck into his scarf, never feeling easy.

"Damn, how come I never noticed before you’re so fussy? If we weren’t classmates, I’d strike you first!"

With such a teammate, the turbaned Death Fighter only felt a headache.

"Maybe it’s because there are too few people, should we find two more teammates?"

Lv Bai squatted nearby, earnestly suggesting, "In my impression, every villainous team needs a dumb big guy, a little schemer, sexy, wisdom, these four iconic roles."

Turban guy: "!"

Scarf guy: "!"

The two Death Fighters sprang away like cats with tails stepped on.

Lv Bai leisurely stood up, smiling as he reminded them: "Hurry up, choose your ability first."

"Such nerve!"

The turbaned guy opened a safe distance between them, rebuking with lingering fear.

If Lv Bai hadn’t spoken, he genuinely wouldn’t have known when this person mingled over.

"Wait a minute..."

Scarf guy suddenly realized, hastily reminding his teammate: "’Node’ is on his body."

The turbaned guy instantly turned surprise into joy: "He actually delivered himself to us, Old Yang, proceed with the plan!"

Since they encountered upfront, the scarf guy naturally knew this wasn’t the time for hesitation.

Resolutely choosing an ability, a long sword appeared in his hand out of nowhere.

Then, he swung a virtual slash towards Lv Bai.

[Absolutely Catch Bare Blade by Hand (Color): Rule-based control ability, affecting only a single target, when the user swings a sword at the target, regardless of location, the target immediately comes to catch the sword.]

Lv Bai joined his hands to catch the sword, lightly laughed as he evaluated: "This ability is interesting." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ha, the interesting part is yet to come."

The turbaned guy’s expression turned serious, sitting cross-legged out of thin air, pulling a copper mirror from his chest.

[Must Directly Observe (Color): One of the Ancient God attributes, upon acquiring this ability, oneself becomes a source of ineffable attraction, all organisms present must become your observers, or they will face irreversible distortions, chaos, madness, and other negative impacts, this ability is highly uncontrollable, remember, observers, also include yourself.]

"You even dare to choose such a dangerous ability?"

Lv Bai turned around holding the sword.

The turbaned guy stared directly at the copper mirror in his hand, engaging in a mutual gaze with himself in the mirror.

Hearing the voice, he was about to chuckle coldly but quickly realized something was off.

Something seemed wrong.

According to prior activation of the ability by scarf guy, Lv Bai should have been facing away while catching the sword.

Where is the distortion? Chaos? Madness?

The turbaned guy wanted to know what happened but, under the threat of [Must Directly Observe], dared not move his gaze away.

Lv Bai walked up to him, slightly sympathetic: "I don’t want this ability."
