My Ability Pool is Superior

The evening glow reflected against the sky.

At the village head, the old tree’s treetops carried the calls of birds returning to their nests.

The young farmer stood at his own entrance, gazing distantly at the distant mountains, his expression inscrutable.

That mountain was called Yang Hu Zi Mountain in the mouths of the locals.

“Bro, could I trouble you for a sip of water?”

A passing traveler stopped and inquired.

The farmer sized him up and down, judging that the dusty, travel-worn look on the other man was genuine, not feigned.

Xu Ling nodded at once: “Brother, no need to stand on ceremony. I’ll head back to the house right now and ladle some water for you.”

“Thank you so much.”

Yan Tiangong gratefully cupped his hands, but before he could lower them, he couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Xu Ling immediately halted his action, planning to wait until the other had laughed his fill before speaking.

“Alright, bro, drop the act?”

Yan Tiangong adjusted his expression and added: “Your appearance is far from that of a native. If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t even dealt with the native corpse in the house yet?”

He raised his hand to rub his nose, clicking his tongue in wonder: “Seems like I can still smell a bit of bloody smell.”

Having his identity as a Death Fighter recognized, Xu Ling wasn’t annoyed.

He slowly flexed his wrist: “Couldn’t you just pretend you didn’t recognize me? Now I have to trouble myself to kill you.”

Yan Tiangong showed no awareness of the threat and asked his question anyway.

“During this time, the ‘node’ position hasn’t seen any major changes. What does that mean?”

Xu Ling, dressed as a farmer, didn’t answer.

Yan Tiangong didn’t play coy and explained proactively: “The answer is obvious. This time, the ‘node’ fell into the hands of a ruthless person. That one seems very confident, clearly planning to take on all the Death Fighters heading there single-handedly.

And the facts prove that one isn’t arrogant. After an entire day, the ‘node’ still hasn’t changed hands.”

Yan Tiangong spread his hands: “This is really too ruthless. Anyway, I have no grasp of snatching the ‘node’ from such a ruthless person.”

“So?” Xu Ling finally spoke again.

Yan Tiangong chuckled.

“So us weaklings have to huddle for warmth.”

“What ability do you have? Are you worthy of huddling with me?”

“No choice, bad luck. I only randomly got a negligible support ability…”

……

The moon and stars were sparse, a thin mist rising in the mountain forest.

【Ding!】

【Points +1, Current Points: 267, Current Rank 1/104】

Lu Bai set down his pen and opened his eyes.

Using the lighting from the bonfire, he looked toward Chang Shengtian nearby and softly inquired: “The next one?”

“Uh… there are none now.”

Chang Shengtian sensed for a moment and confirmed that all those who had entered the mountain during this time had disappeared.

After answering, it hesitated a moment, then cautiously added: “It should settle down for a bit, right?”

Because it had provided Lu Bai with positioning, it knew very well what had become of these people entering the mountain.

This left it completely unable to understand what these reincarnated demon persons were after, rushing to their deaths one after another.

Lu Bai glanced at the data panel in front of his retina.

【Double Points Reward loading remaining time——】

【03:48:19】

Less than four hours remained until obtaining the double points reward for the “node”.

He smiled and said: “I’m afraid those reincarnated demon persons won’t settle down. Trouble you to keep surveilling.”

Second Young Master Hu was still pinned down by the Great Serpent Phantom, his actions restricted.

But having heard the two’s conversation, he couldn’t help inquiring.

“Are the threats from reincarnated demon persons that great?”

He didn’t deny that reincarnated demon persons were unstable factors; otherwise, he wouldn’t have controlled so many Death Fighters in advance.

But even so, in his impression, Death Fighters were at most ordinary people who had mastered some special abilities. Were they really worth this much attention?

Hearing this question, Chang Shengtian’s mouth twitched.

It’s not you getting beaten, huh?

Lu Bai looked up at Second Young Master Hu: “Household Guardian Immortal still hasn’t found any new reincarnated demon persons?”

Second Young Master Hu’s expression froze slightly, and he awkwardly explained: “Screening takes time.”

“I spared your life originally because you still had some use. Now you have no results, which puts me in a difficult spot.”

Lu Bai’s tone carried a hint of amusement, yet it made Second Young Master Hu break out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly said: “I’ll urge them right now.”

Lu Bai noncommittally shifted his gaze, taking a moment to appreciate the bright moonlight in the sky.

Unfortunately,

Idle times are always brief.

Chang Shengtian suddenly called out: “Got one. Someone’s entering the mountain on the North Slope path.”

Before the words finished, he hurriedly corrected himself.

“No, not just North Slope. There are so many… how can there be this many? What are these things?!”

Lu Bai didn’t press, closing his eyes to activate 【Full Map Vision】 the moment Chang Shengtian mentioned North Slope.

His view pulled high, and with the help of the 【Full Map Vision】 ability, he took in the entire scene of Yang Hu Zi Mountain.

Chang Shengtian wasn’t exaggerating.

Lu Bai indeed saw countless figures entering the mountain.

However, these figures weren’t Death Fighters; they barely qualified as human.

They were thousands upon thousands of corpses.

Their surface skin rotted and damaged, leaving only humanoid skeletons.

In the hollow skull eye sockets flickered two clusters of eerie blue flames.

Under someone’s control, these thousands of skeleton soldiers carved paths through mountains and built bridges over water, all marching steadfastly toward Yang Hu Zi Mountain.

“A probe?”

Looking at the skeleton soldiers covering the mountains and plains, Lu Bai muttered softly.

There wouldn’t be too many fools among the Death Fighters.

The Death Fighters who had entered the mountain during this time had died inexplicably, naturally drawing the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Someone wanted to figure out what ability Lu Bai had. The Death Fighters lurking in the surroundings were naturally happy to see it succeed. Even with the skeleton soldiers making such a commotion, the Death Fighters along the way wouldn’t step in to destroy them.

……

At the mass grave some ten li outside the county town, a hut had been set up.

Inside the hut, no lighting was used, but one could vaguely make out one male and two females sitting together.

“Tao Dajie, still no movement in the mountain?”

“You little bastards, what’s the rush?”

The female high school student called Tao Dajie waved her hand impatiently: “My little guys haven’t spotted the main target yet.”

【Undead Scourge (Colorful): Powerful summoning ability. Using the corpses of the deceased, summon a scourge legion to spread evil and terror among the living, but the undead have no thinking ability and can only follow the summoner’s commands by instinct.】

The male Death Fighter was probably used to Tao Dajie’s foul mouth and didn’t mind, rubbing his chin.

“Still need to use them sparingly. There are only so many skeleton soldiers in total. I say, we should first send the scourge legion to slaughter the county town.”

“Heh…”

The other female Death Fighter sneered: “You think that hedgehog in the city is a pushover?”
