Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

The surrounding cheers started to erupt!

"Young Master Bu is amazing!"

"So awesome! He summoned the sword! Just one strike shattered this monster!"

"So cool! So cool!"

"My god! Look at that metallic sheen, it’s so exciting and reassuring!"

"The Prodigal Hero! The Prodigal Hero!"

"Young Master Bu, rule the Jianghu for eternity!"

"..."

Mr. Wang watched this scene unfold, suddenly a wave of heartache surged within.

Look at Lu Xiaobu, with each step, the battle armor dances, one sword strike, heaven and earth shatter!

And him?!

Thinking about his future, he would only be able to stand at the forefront to take punches?!

Such grievance isn’t just a little bit!

Really!

What kind of life is this!

Zhou Rui trembled on the ground with fear, watching the descending Lu Xiaobu as if a Heavenly God, his legs went weak, kneeling on the ground.

Immediately, a wet sensation spread between his legs, unbearably stinky.

Lu Xiaobu came down, looking down at this fellow with indifference.

"How old are you this year?" Lu Xiaobu suddenly asked this question.

"I... I... I..." Zhou Rui stuttered, unable to speak.

"Snap!"

The giant sword stabbed into the ground nearby.

"I’m seventeen this year!" Zhou Rui’s speed of speech suddenly became fluent!

"Seventeen?" The initial killing intent in Lu Xiaobu’s eyes began to gradually dissipate.

He shook his head: "Turn around and see for yourself."

Zhou Rui stood there dumbly, not knowing where to turn his head, or what to see.

"Look to your right."

Lu Xiaobu reminded once again.

Zhou Rui slowly looked to the right.

To the right was Lu Xiaobu’s giant sword, reflecting the metallic glow, completely usable as a mirror!

Suddenly, an image appeared in Zhou Rui’s eyes!

In the giant sword, his appearance was no longer his usual self.

But a wrinkled, grey-haired old man!

"How is this possible!"

Zhou Rui, with strength from an unknown source, scrambled away from the giant sword, using both hands.

He incredulously reached out his hand to touch himself.

The sense of friction came clearly!

He looked down at his hand!

Also covered in countless wrinkles!

"How can this be?! How can this be?!" Zhou Rui cried out with a heart-wrenching voice!

Although he’s a boy, although he never thought himself handsome!

But this kind of thing, worse than turning old overnight, happening to him, sent him into near breakdown!

Why is it like this?!

Why is it like this?!

Isn’t he the protagonist of this world?!

Shouldn’t he do as he pleases?!

Why did he change just within a short time?!

Impossible! This is impossible!

Lu Xiaobu shook his head slowly.

Ah, forget it!

No need to kill him!

He should understand what pain is!

"Elder Yu, leave him to you." Lu Xiaobu shook his head and said.

"Got it." Elder Yu nodded, "What’s happening to him?"

"If nothing unexpected happened, he overdrawn his Life," Lu Xiaobu sighed.

"Overdrawn Life?!" Elder Yu was startled, "You mean overusing Superpower will overdraw one’s Life?! Why haven’t Western people mentioned this before?!"

"Maybe they just didn’t let us know about it. This could be another flaw of Superpower Users, lacking a solid foundation, insufficient energy reserve, over-consuming leads to Life depletion!" Lu Xiaobu offered a simple guess.

He wasn’t sure about this either, just offering a rough guess.

The details would need Elder Yu and the others’ analysis!

"However, from this matter, I think it can be ruled out that it’s my elder brother’s dream causing all of this."

Lu Xiaobu shook his head: "My elder brother should have acquired a peculiar ability to sense someone’s situation during mutation."

"Then... does this count as overusing Superpower?!" Elder Yu suddenly recalled something: "Also Mr. Wang, and me! Our Superpowers are uncontrollable!"

All three of them had passive Superpowers, especially Lu Hongbin, which were completely uncontrollable.

If Lu Xiaobu’s conjecture is true!

Doesn’t it mean, they might silently die of old age?!

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu was startled too!

He had almost forgotten about this!

"You guys carry on! I’m heading back!"

Lu Xiaobu stepped forward, not caring if anyone caught this scene on camera, directly flying straight into the sky, arriving home in the shortest time possible.

"You’re back?" Lu Hongbin looked at Lu Xiaobu and spoke.

Previously, Lu Xiaobu hadn’t noticed, now he clearly picked up on the slight weakness in Lu Hongbin’s tone!

He should be full of vigor when practicing Martial Arts!

But why so weak now?!

"Elder brother, come with me!"

Lu Xiaobu urgently pulled Lu Hongbin into a nearby room.

Forced Calmness!

Forced Calmness allows viewing others’ physical conditions.

If enhanced through Intelligence Attribute, it can even alter Attributes!

After scanning Lu Hongbin’s attribute points, Lu Xiaobu immediately found that Lu Hongbin’s Health Attribute wasn’t full!

80/100!

Additionally, it was grey in color, indicating that Lu Xiaobu couldn’t forcibly increase, only wait for gradual restoration!

There’s definitely a problem!

Dammit! Should’ve noticed sooner!

However, aside from other familiar attributes, Lu Xiaobu saw another attribute!

Energy!

This attribute had never appeared before.

Because generally, when he uses Forced Calmness to examine others, the Attributes appearing on them are the ones he possesses.

He clearly doesn’t have this attribute, where did his elder brother get it?!

"System, explain it to me." Lu Xiaobu summoned the system.

"Five Elements Attribute and its effects perhaps," the system responded, though uncertainly.

Many matters related to Lu Xiaobu were beyond his control now!

That’s why, when suddenly asked about this, he was also a bit puzzled.

"Energy huh? Is this the energy required by Superpower?" Lu Xiaobu pondered: "And now the energy shown above is twenty points. Where did these twenty points come from?"

Suddenly.

He recalled the mutated lion cuisine he had before, a conjecture began to surface in his mind.

That meal wasn’t just cuisine, it also had the effect of replenishing energy!

If energy is insufficient, health value gets consumed!

Excessive consumption of health value turns one into that state like Zhou Rui!

Damn!

Lu Xiaobu clenched his fist. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He absolutely doesn’t want things to turn out that way, absolutely not!
