Chapter 6 Deprivation of Power
Yang Fan adjusted his mask and strode into the alley.

As he took a step forward, he touched the back of his right hand with his left hand.

A light green mark, with an outline like a cicada, immediately emerged.

This was the third rare item he had obtained.

Yang Fan called it the Soul-stealing Cicada.

The origin of this thing is also simple and unpretentious.

three months ago.

In one of his dreams, he saw a ray of light floating into a grove in a park and merging into a leftover cicada shell.

He traveled a long way and climbed up the tree to pick this rare object.

At this moment.

When Yang Fan entered the alley, he immediately saw the yellow-haired man hugging the beautiful woman and touching her all over.

He shouted, "Hey!"

The yellow-haired man was startled and subconsciously let go of the beauty, turning his head to look over.

The guy looked at Yang Fan a little guiltily at first, and found that the latter was alone and did not look very strong.

Huang Mao immediately became bolder and cursed: "I'm making out with my girlfriend, what does it have to do with you?"

Yang Fan didn't reply, but just took a step back.

In Huangmao's eyes, this became a symbol of weakness.

The fellow took two steps forward aggressively and threatened, "Get out of here, or I'll cripple both of your legs!"

This action widened the distance between the yellow-haired man and the beautiful woman.

Yang Fan felt that it was about time and he shouldn't hurt the beauty by mistake again, so he decisively stretched out a finger and pointed it at the yellow-haired guy.

at the same time.

The mark representing the Thunder Branch emerged from the skin of his chest.

A flash of red electric light flashed from Yang Fan's fingertips and hit the yellow-haired man's right chest.

As a rare and unique item, the Thunder Branch can not only act as a large power bank, but also release electric light to attack targets.

Although Huangmao had awakened his special powers and his physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people, he still couldn't withstand the red electric light.

"Snapped!"

Just hear a soft sound.

The yellow-haired man fainted without a sound and fell straight to the ground.

A burnt smell came from this guy's chest.

But Huangmao was still breathing and was not dead.

Yang Fan took a glance, swung his right hand, and whispered, "Go!"

A very faint shadow, that is, the soul-stealing cicada, penetrated into the yellow-haired body like lightning.

Yang Fan smiled with satisfaction: "In a coma, his consciousness cannot resist, and we should be able to seize this guy's supernatural power soon."

He sincerely thanked Huangmao: "Brother, thank you for your generous gift."

He looked at the beauty again and found that her hand moved, as if she was about to wake up.

Yang Fan didn't want to be seen by the beautiful woman, so he turned around and left without hesitation.

A few seconds later.

The beauty blinked and came to her senses.

She looked around, confused.

Why am I here?
Weren’t we in the vegetable market just now?

She had no memory of what had just happened.

The beauty then discovered the yellow-haired man lying unconscious on the ground. She was a little scared and left the alley in a panic.

The yellow-haired man lay there motionless, his body twitching from time to time.

the other side.

Yang Fan waited patiently for a while, and suddenly felt something.

A very faint shadow flashed by and penetrated into his body.

The Soul-stealing Cicada is back!
Yang Fan’s mind moved.

The cicada shadow mark felt slightly cool.

An illusory panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.

----

【attribute】

Physical value: 6.3
Spirit: 7.4
【Ability】

Spiritual language: Not activated, low-grade psychic ability, activation requires 1 point of spiritual source value.

【energy】

Spiritual Source: 1.2
----

This is the magical ability of the Soul-stealing Cicada.

In addition to digitizing properties, this magical item also possesses an incredible ability - forcibly absorbing the target's energy and supernatural powers.

The target that is extracted will either lose its superpowers permanently or have its superpower level greatly reduced.

This is exactly what is meant by "taking the soul".

Yang Fan was filled with joy: "This time I snatched Huang Mao's ability and gained 1.2 points of spiritual energy. It's really a good deal."

As for the "Spirit Source Value", according to his understanding, it is actually a universal attribute point.

He sighed again, "If Huang Mao had just joined the country and not done such despicable things, I wouldn't have done anything to him at all."

This is a typical case of perception determining destiny.*
Go to the capital.

Inside the secret base.

The mermaid Jana, as usual, talked about the knowledge about the original world.

To her, this was just basic common sense.

But to the Canglan people, this is very precious knowledge.

“The process of a civilized world descending into the primordial world can be roughly divided into three stages.

"The first stage is the 'capture period', when the civilized world is captured by the primordial world and can never escape from it again.

"During this period, the world will be affected by the original laws, and many changes will occur, such as frequent abnormal climates.

"The second stage is the 'gliding period', when the civilized world slides on the edge of the primordial world, just like skipping stones on water.

"During this period, the world will slide through many places in the original world, including many dangerous areas, and more and greater disasters will break out..."

When General Lou heard this, he felt his scalp tingling.

There are already enough troubles on Canglan Star now. The old man really can’t imagine what the scene of “more and bigger disasters” will be like.

The mermaid said: "The last stage is the 'anchor period'. As the name suggests, the civilized world stops sliding and is fixed at a certain point in the original world.

"This stage is very dependent on luck. If the world is unfortunately anchored in a high-risk area, it is likely to face a disaster of genocide immediately."

General Lou sighed, "I hope the Canglan people's luck won't be too bad."

The mermaid added: "My personal opinion is that Blue Planet is currently in the middle of the first stage, and the first batch of people with special abilities are almost awakened."

General Lou said with admiration: "Your judgment is very accurate. Daxia Kingdom has already discovered its first superpower a few days ago."

The mermaid smiled complacently: "According to the experience of the Mega Civilization, the first group of people with special abilities possessed outstanding talents and their potential was enormous.

"About 80% of the first batch of esper users were able to break through the first barrier, the 'physical barrier', and become powerful warriors."

General Lou nodded slightly.

He knew that the "warrior" the other party was referring to was the universal definition of those who broke through the first barrier in various civilizations.

According to the mermaid's explanation, warrior means "battlefield warrior", that is, a brave man who fights for this civilization.

The "warriors" referred to by the Canglan people include all those who fight on the battlefield. This definition must be revised as soon as possible, otherwise they will be laughed at by other civilizations.

The mermaid continued, “About 5 to 7 percent of the first crop of people with special abilities have the opportunity to go further.

"They will break through the second barrier, the 'mental barrier', and become even more powerful knights.

"There are many powerful monsters that only knights have the ability to fight against, so knights are the backbone of a civilization."

General Lou nodded repeatedly.

The mermaid added, "Without awakening the psychic ability, it is almost impossible to reach the second level of the power ladder and become a knight."

General Lou immediately asked, "So psychic abilities are more valuable."

The mermaid nodded. “Obviously!”

She made it clearer: "The first group of people who have awakened their spiritual powers, you should pay great attention to them?"

General Lou bowed and saluted: "For your guidance, the Great Xia Kingdom is grateful!"

The mermaid started chatting about other topics: "In the middle of the capture period, the influence of the original law will become more obvious. Daxia had better prepare early."

General Lou said: "Our country has made preparations and is about to launch a comprehensive conscription to better deal with natural disasters."

The mermaid gave a seductive smile. “A wise decision.”

*
Linjiang City.

Shengli Street Vegetable Market.

A full five minutes passed.

The yellow-haired man groaned "Ah" and woke up from his coma.

He immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest and broke out in a cold sweat.

The yellow-haired man struggled to sit up and pointed the camera of his mobile phone at his chest.

I saw a big hole burned on the chest of his clothes and his skin was almost turned into charcoal.

The burnt smell filled my nose, mixed with a hint of meaty aroma.

Huangmao hissed in pain a few times and suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had lost something vital.

He sensed it carefully and suddenly panicked: "My superpower!"

Huangmao struggled to stand up, endured the pain and walked out of the alley, came to a middle-aged stall owner, and stared at him with wide eyes.

This guy screamed madly in his heart: "Shock! Shock! Shock!"

The middle-aged stall owner was confused by the look and cursed: "You are f*cking sick!"

Huangmao's heart sank deeply.

This guy had a vague feeling that his super powers might really be gone.

However, Huang Mao didn't want to believe it, and said to himself: "No, it should be used up, and it will recover in a few days... Yes, maybe it will recover tomorrow."

The middle-aged stall owner frowned and cursed: "If you don't want to buy anything, get out of here. Don't fucking interfere with my business."

Seeing the yellow sweater not covering his body and acting crazy, he felt a little pitiful: "Did you steal electricity and get electrocuted? Is it worth saving such a small amount of electricity bill? Go to the hospital quickly."

Huangmao almost vomited blood.

You are the one who steals electricity!

Your whole family steals electricity!

But the middle-aged stall owner was tall and strong, so Huangmao didn't dare to curse back.

The guy covered his wound and staggered out of the market.

Huangmao did not realize that he had permanently lost his superpowers and missed an opportunity to completely change his destiny.
