Chapter 55

What is true strength?

Is it strength when your combat power is 180,000 and the combat detector explodes? Is it strength to lie on a beauty's lap and wake up with the power to rule the world? Or is it strength to be renowned and have countless disciples? Is it strength to understand the rules of the universe and explore it?

There are many definitions of strength, but at this moment, Lei Xuan's understanding of strength has undoubtedly changed greatly.

Strength is when, no matter whether it's a horror movie, an action movie, a fantasy movie, or a sci-fi movie, they all damn well turn into a Korean drama!

This is what true strength is!

During Chu Ci's coma, Lei Xuan finally got to see his charm.

...

Clearly a disheveled man in his thirties, even if he had a decent appearance, he would never be considered handsome. Yet, this guy, lying in bed without moving, had a dedicated doctor (medical officer), a beautiful nurse (curse officer), and two young girls (Shinku and Shin'aku) taking care of him. Most importantly, the eighteen-year-old, gentle, and rare beauty, Sato Sadako, sat by his bedside, peeling apples one after another.

Peeling the f**k out!

What the hell is there to peel!

Because they were afraid that Sato Sadako would run out of apples to peel and start peeling Chu Ci's head, Wang Shibao, Gao Zhongsheng, and Xiao Xuechun had become fruit workers, ensuring that Sato Sadako always had fresh, red apples at hand, 24/7.

It's not that Lei Xuan is a coward and dares not face Sato Sadako head-on.

The moment she resurrected, her overwhelming spiritual power spread over two acres, directly suppressing everyone present!

The spiritual pressure was almost tangible, even locking a passing dragonfly in mid-air, unable to move.

Lei Xuan felt that his initial plan to confidently kill Sadako was a complete joke. Who would dare to make a move!

Lei Xuan thought that if they didn't follow Chu Ci's method, Sadako's ghost's combat power would be about one-fiftieth of her living state, roughly twice the team's total combat power. Although Sadako's ghost is无形无踪, it is still not invincible. Since Sadako's ghost is trapped in the video tape and can only attack those who have watched it, there is still a chance to complete the main mission.

But it's better than her sitting there perfectly fine while he dares not attack.

Main mission? It depends on her mood!

So far, apart from the magical doll created by Chu Ci, Sato Sadako does not allow any living thing to approach Chu Ci within three meters, including cockroaches and flies, which have died in waves.

Almost no one dares to test the difference between themselves and cockroaches. The pressure is like a rectum after taking twenty pounds of laxatives; even with the strongest willpower, it is almost impossible to hold back.

Why? Because Chu Ci has been in a coma for four days!

There is only one day, four hours, and eight minutes left before Asakawa Reiko dies. The atmosphere is extremely tense, and a conflict could break out at any moment.

Takashi Kusanagi knows he is no match for Sadako, but he cannot just watch Asakawa Reiko die. So, unexpectedly, he called in a group of henchmen, all of whom have superpowers.

With a considerable number of superpowered individuals gathered, even Lei Xuan couldn't help but take notice. Perhaps their abilities are singular, but when they burst out, even Lei Xuan's side would have to retreat.

Unfortunately, these superpowered individuals are all arrogant and foolish. With a little bit of ability, they look down on others through their noses and speak without thinking.

"Hex, quickly remove Asakawa's curse, or we will kill you!"

If Chu Ci were awake, he would definitely mock this guy. If you're going to do it, just do it. What's the point of all this nonsense? Did you practice mouth cannoning?

Sato Sadako completely ignored these people, her beautiful and gentle face remained calm as she continued to peel apples. If you ignore the pyramid of apples on Chu Ci's bedside table, it's like a heartwarming scene from a Korean drama where the heroine waits for the hero to wake up. If you add some music, like "My Destiny" (a song from "My Love from the Star"), it would be even better.

Unfortunately, the group of people with their eyes on their heads didn't understand the mood. Seeing that Sato Sadako, a 'country bumpkin,' ignored so many 'powerful' superpowered individuals, they immediately switched to the "Fūrin Kazan" (theme song of "Fūrin Kazan") mode.

Superpowered Individual A (an unnamed character even the author is lazy to name) bulged his eyes and puffed his cheeks like a toad, which looked quite funny, but the other superpowered individuals didn't laugh.

Superpowered Individual A's spiritual power gradually condensed during these actions, forming an intangible spiritual power spike.

"..." Superpowered Individual A opened his mouth silently, and the spiritual power spike vanished in an instant, entering Sadako's body without any reaction.

Success!

Takashi Kusanagi, who had shouted for help and then hid behind to command, was greatly invigorated.

Sato Sadako finally showed a reaction, turning her head to look at the superpowered individual and then continuing to peel apples.

"Ugh!" Superpowered Individual A panted heavily. This move had cost him a significant amount of spiritual power, but Sato Sadako showed no reaction at all.

The other superpowered individuals lowered their heads and looked at her with their eyes.

They all knew Superpowered Individual A's strength, and none of them could take his full attack without showing any reaction.

Using their true sight, these superpowered individuals suddenly realized something—

This girl is too beautiful, like a ghost in the mountains or a sprite in a clear spring. Her face is flawless, as if she doesn't belong to this world!

This is the beauty that only superpowered individuals can observe through the combination of spiritual power and their eyes. Ordinary people would at most consider Sadako a normal beautiful girl.

These superpowered individuals were immediately overwhelmed by lust, and their original hostility and disdain gradually dissipated, showing a bewitched expression.

Only Takashi Kusanagi was a bit better, sensing something was wrong. His voice, infused with sharp spiritual power, shouted, "Guard your mind, don't be seduced by Sadako!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sato Sadako turned her head, and the calm and gentle facade finally fell, revealing a cold and ruthless side.

"You're asking for death!"

Her spiritual power surged like a tsunami, and if she didn't consider Chu Ci's presence and fear of losing control, she could have used even more power.

"Unite and block it!" Takashi Kusanagi shouted, and all the superpowered individuals joined forces to form a spiritual power shield just in time to block the impact.

Lei Xuan and the others were collateral damage, hit by the sweeping attack. The talismans worth thousands of reward points burned up, and they quickly retreated, finally escaping Sadako's range just as the talismans were completely burned.

But Takashi Kusanagi and the others were specifically targeted by Sato Sadako. They struggled to hold on, drenched in sweat, trembling all over, and using all their strength to resist, with no energy left to escape.

Sato Sadako put down the apple, picked up the fruit knife, and stood up, her murderous intent completely unhidden.

"Stop!" A weak hand promptly grabbed Sato Sadako's delicate wrist.
