My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 187: Warden

After Haide Prison Area Chief leaped into mid-air, he rapidly fell under the influence of gravity.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see.

This allowed him to clearly see the wave-like black paint surging out from Lu Bai’s position.

And this endless darkness spread crazily, covering the entire field of vision at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He couldn’t judge what exactly was going on and instinctively wanted to avoid it, not wanting to be tainted by this strange darkness.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

No matter how fast he dodged, he couldn’t outpace his gaze.

He didn’t even have time to think; when his entire body was enveloped by the black paint, he hadn’t even landed on the ground yet.

If someone were standing high up overlooking at this moment, they would discover that this darkness, centered on Lu Bai’s position, had diffused into a spherical black paint area with a diameter exceeding ten kilometers.

All light was swallowed by the darkness, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Bang!

His vision was pitch black; without visual calibration, when Haide Prison Area Chief landed, he missed his step, causing half his body to crash into a building.

Fortunately, his physical fitness was exaggeratedly strong, so no serious injuries were caused.

He quickly stood up and looked around.

Everywhere he looked was pitch black, without even a hint of light source.

Admittedly, aside from his line of sight being obstructed, he didn’t sense any other danger.

But he still tensed his muscles, entering combat stance, fearing that Lu Bai would sneak attack him from somewhere.

“What exactly… is this means?”

……

Beneath the prison’s high wall.

Lu Bai didn’t sneak attack as Haide Prison Area Chief had guessed.

To be honest, he didn’t have superhuman physical fitness; even with extraordinary talent, he still needed to find a method of cultivation to exchange for it.

This led to him now only being able to arduously climb this high wall under the cover of darkness.

Fortunately, this prison’s wall didn’t have high-voltage electricity attached; it merely had some barbed wire added at the top.

It couldn’t be considered the prison cutting corners in this aspect; after all, those prison area chiefs were the prison’s true high walls.

Facing the fierce prisoners who could survive from those prison area chiefs’ hands, no matter how perfectly the wall was designed, it held no meaning.

When Lu Bai was halfway through climbing, he heard clamor coming from the cells behind him, and even a few sporadic gunshots.

The movement was indeed quite big, but there was no other way.

Swish~ Swish~

His fingers rubbed back and forth between the brick wall a few times, trying to make these gaps deeper before reaching out to grip them.

Lu Bai had never applied for a freehand rock climbing course at Deathmatch Campus; he could only crouch low and climb by feel, making it hard for his speed to pick up.

Fortunately, the wall he chose wasn’t too high; even with slow climbing speed, he gradually approached the top of the wall.

He slightly pushed aside some barbed wire, then supported his body to flip onto the wall top.

Beneath the wall was a nearly barren grassy area; several hundred meters away, there was a slender river flowing gently, not wide, with the narrowest part even less than two meters.

Without delaying too long, he gripped the wall top with one hand, lowered his body to close the distance to the ground, then kicked off the wall and leaped down, finishing with a standard landing roll.

He had finally jailbroken successfully; he couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

This deathmatch duel could truly be called a heaven-collapsing opening; if not for possessing [Flash Time] and [Ink Black], he would have nine times out of ten died in the prison like those other four unlucky eggs.

……

Monitoring Room.

A man with a slicked-back hairstyle, wearing something like a prison guard uniform, pushed the door and entered.

Behind him followed several robustly built prison guards; upon closer observation, one would notice that the gazes these prison guards directed at this man carried obvious reverence.

The prison guard watching the surveillance turned his head upon seeing the arrival, immediately standing up hurriedly and shouting in a fluster: “Warden.”

The slicked-back man called Warden casually nodded, then looked towards the pitch-black surveillance footage.

“Rewind to before the darkness arrived.”

“Yes!”

He repeatedly observed the footage of the black paint encroaching, then smiled without much emotion.

“Interesting, even I can’t tell what this means is. Check that prisoner’s information.”

With that, he turned and walked out of the monitoring room, saying to the prison guard beside him: “Tell Haide to get out here and see me; don’t waste time in that dark area anymore. The opponent clearly isn’t there to destroy.”

He arrived at the open ground and roughly estimated the center position of this black paint.

“Hmph, wanting to escape.”

He calmly reminded the several prison guards beside him: “Step back a bit.”

Seeing the prison guards scatter, he lunged forward with a clenched fist, held his breath, then suddenly punched toward that black paint starting position.

The fist wind was fierce and unyielding, stirring up overwhelming violent airwaves, with immense force.

Rumble!!!

The massive sound was deafening.

With one punch, it was as if a huge wave surged through, forming a passage that destructively pierced through everything within this passage.

“Hiss…”

The several prison guards behind the Warden neatly drew in a sharp breath.

Even though they were very certain their own Warden was absolutely a top expert in this world, every time they saw the Warden make a move, they were still deeply shocked.

……

Lu Bai ran wildly toward the stream.

He did not cancel the black paint created by [Ink Black], figuring that with this patch of darkness existing, it should maximally attract the prison guards’ attention.

However, just as he approached the riverside and had not yet decided which way to go next, the intense rumbling from behind interrupted his train of thought.

Looking back, the high wall collapsed in an instant, and the originally invisible fist wind was so fierce it was visible to the naked eye.

That scene like a hurricane sweeping wildly made Lu Bai’s hair stand on end.

Without delaying even a minute, [Flash Time] activated directly.

Everything before his eyes came to stagnation, and Lu Bai decisively took a deep breath before jumping into the river.

Time resumed flowing, and the exaggerated fist wind carrying airwaves swept past, splashing up a large area of river water.

Although he did not take the punch head-on, and the water flow dissipated much of the impact force, Lu Bai was still shaken to the point of dizziness.

He simply stopped struggling and drifted downstream with the river water.

After drifting for nearly three hours, even his skin had wrinkled, and as he saw this river about to merge into the moat, Lu Bai moved his arms to swim toward the shore.

After landing, he switched his main title back to “Pure Smile,” then conveniently hid the two secondary titles.

Otherwise, the effects of these three titles would easily cause chaos in the crowd.

But none of that was as conspicuous as the prison guard uniform on his body; he had to quickly change into a different outfit.

He looked at the row of shops along the moat, feeling slightly relieved—at least borrowing some clothes would not be a problem.
