My Ability Pool is Superior

The “Node” positioning provided by the Deathmatch System is a flat display rather than a 3D one.

This led to a problem.

That is, there’s no way to judge exactly which floor the “Node” is on based on the positioning.

For this reason, Lu Bai had come to the third floor with the USB drive, while the Death Fighters fiercely fighting in the Office Hall still thought Duan Jianhui was wandering around on the fifth floor.

“Who are you?”

Fei Xiao frowned slightly; he didn’t know Lu Bai at all.

By repeatedly comparing the “Node” positioning, it all indicated that the “Node” was on this high school student at the entrance… but this was just too unreasonable.

In his cognition, shouldn’t the USB drive still be in Duan Jianhui’s hands?

Xiao Xueyin and Yan Zhiquan did know Lu Bai, but they also couldn’t figure out what was going on with him right now.

Looking at the blurry pile of flesh and blood under Fei Xiao’s feet, Lu Bai tilted his head slightly.

“Who told you to take out Osas?”

His tone sounded like he was smiling, without any malice.

Even though he was questioning, it exuded an utterly harmless vibe.

Under the influence of this vibe, Fei Xiao inexplicably relaxed a bit.

“You know Osas?”

He playfully tiptoed and ground a few more times: “Are you with the Survey Corps too? How come I’ve never seen you?”

Seeing the two starting to chat, Yan Zhiquan couldn’t help but remind them.

“Brother Lu, this guy’s the boss of the Ten Blades. You arrived just in time—let’s team up and take him out.”

Fei Xiao glanced sideways at Yan Zhiquan and sneered.

He didn’t speak, but the mockery was already full throttle.

Lu Bai, however, didn’t take advantage of the moment to attack. He silently counted the number of Death Fighters present.

“You haven’t answered me yet.”

Fei Xiao prompted with interest.

“Once I understand the situation, I’ll decide.” Lu Bai answered irrelevantly.

Such playful words made it hard to feel any threat.

Fei Xiao raised an eyebrow.

He wanted to say something more, but suddenly realized Lu Bai had vanished from his sight.

In an instant, a stinging pain came from Fei Xiao’s neck. Looking closely, the hairs on his neck were all standing on end.

Whenever he encountered danger, his body would always give him advance warning—this was Fei Xiao’s innate talent.

Every teacher at school who taught him fighting skills praised him endlessly, believing he was a born warrior.

So he would never doubt his unique talent being wrong.

Such a strong warning from his body meant this was a potentially fatal attack for him.

Without thinking, Fei Xiao reflexively leaned back quickly.

The next second, a sword gleam slashed through the air.

Lu Bai’s figure reappeared, and he was slightly stunned.

He really hadn’t expected his sword during Flash Time to be dodged by Fei Xiao.

He saw it clearly—it was different from the situation with Duan Jianhui.

This was clearly the opponent predicting his attack trajectory and dodging in advance.

The reason was simple: while the Flash Time ability was powerful, it had certain requirements for the user.

Don’t forget, activating Flash Time crossed at most 0.5 seconds, and in such a short time, there was basically no way to change moves.

It was like a normal person throwing a full-force punch—even if they saw the opponent dodge, they couldn’t pull back.

“What was that just now?”

Fei Xiao touched his neck, staring at Lu Bai with lingering fear.

He actually hadn’t seen clearly what happened, but his own formidable combat talent assured him it wasn’t an illusion.

Even Fei Xiao, who experienced it firsthand, didn’t know what happened, so the onlookers were even less likely to understand.

Only Xiao Xueyin and Yan Zhiquan stepped back thoughtfully.

They weren’t seeing this attack method for the first time—earlier, when Lu Bai took out the suit-and-sunglasses guy, it was the same frame-skipping sword strike.

Lu Bai naturally wouldn’t explain. He frowned: “That’s weird. Let me try again.”

Before the words finished, Fei Xiao felt the stinging sensation from his body again.

This time, he was prepared in advance and violently retreated.

In the process, he saw Lu Bai appear in front of him like a teleport.

“You can indeed predict my attacks.”

Lu Bai chuckled lightly, but his actions didn’t pause at all. His figure ghosted after him, and the Eight-Sided Han Sword in his hand quickly thrust upward.

The moment he realized Fei Xiao could perfectly predict his attacks, he had already prepared to continue pursuing after Flash Time ended.

Fei Xiao naturally wouldn’t let that Eight-Sided Han Sword hit him. He roared deeply, and a circle of anomalous fluctuations centered on him, spreading outward.

The powerful repulsive force sent Lu Bai flying backward.

[Repel Enemy Field (Silver): When life drops to 70%, it repels nearby enemies. Can also be actively used by consuming 30% life.]

After repelling Lu Bai, Fei Xiao finally stopped, his complexion noticeably paler, and he could barely stand steady.

He gritted his teeth and demanded: “You snatched the ‘Node’ from Duan Jianhui, right?”

Besides his guess, the reason he said this was also because Lu Bai’s displayed combat power was excessively exaggerated—he had no grasp of resolving this seemingly harmless high school student on his own.

“What?”

“‘Node’ is on him?”

“That’s right, the positioning shows it.”

“What about Brother Hui?”

Fei Xiao deliberately raised his voice, making almost all the Death Fighters in the Office Hall hear this.

In an instant, the Death Fighters who had stopped fighting all eyed Lu Bai with bloodshot eyes.

The temptation was too great.

Without exaggeration, as long as one could obtain the “Node” and hold onto it until the Deathmatch Duel ended, not to mention first place, top three was guaranteed.

After all, from past experience, having around ten points most of the time could steadily secure first place.

Lu Bai landed and adjusted his balance, looking around.

Several Death Fighters blocked his retreat routes. Survey Corps, Ten Blades, including Survivor Alliance Death Fighters—all eyed him menacingly.

He wasn’t surprised by this.

When he arrived at the scene with the “Node,” he knew this situation would arise sooner or later.

Xiao Xueyin swallowed hard, made a decision, turned, and elbow-smashed the window glass: “Brother Lu, get out of here quick!”

“Pah~”

A Date Pit Nail instantly pierced Xiao Xueyin’s chest.

It had to be said that Fei Xiao’s two Silver Abilities were both pretty strong.

After quickly severely injuring Xiao Xueyin, Fei Xiao ignored him and turned to Lu Bai: “You can leave if you want—just hand over the ‘Node’.”

“Right, hand it over!”

“You gonna take on all of us single-handedly?”

“Cut the crap—to me, we should all charge together.”

The Death Fighters present started clamoring, all looking eager to jump in.

“Look at you saying that.”

Seeing this, Lu Bai’s smile grew even brighter: “I never said I was leaving.”

Unnoticed, the skin on his body exposed to the air gradually turned rosy.
