My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 244: Ability Combinations

Lu Bai looked at the Bear Warden standing unscathed in front of him, his eyelids twitching wildly.

To be honest, he hadn’t held back when he swung his fist, yet the result was so discouraging.

Lu Bai instantly realized that his current means were insufficient to harm Xiong Pi.

Relying on Flash Time and Ink Black, he could protect himself without issue, but defeating Xiong Pi was still far too distant.

With this thought, the smile on Lu Bai’s face became even brighter.

“Actually, we don’t have any irreconcilable conflict, right? As for your idea of fully stepping into the Golden Core realm through a single battle, I can only say that one cannot force everything.”

Lu Bai retreated unnoticed, his tone extremely amiable: “Bear Warden, you’ve become obsessed.

As the saying goes, when does striving for fame and fortune ever end? Rising early and sleeping late leaves no freedom. Riding a donkey or mule while yearning for a fine steed, holding the office of prime minister yet longing to be a prince…”

He paused here, then turned his head and gave Xiao Xueyin and the others a look signaling to run.

He then turned back and continued: “How lamentable, only worrying about food and clothing brings toil, why fear the King of Hell coming to claim the soul? Scheming for heirs and grandchildren’s wealth and nobility, not one willing to turn back…”

“What do you mean by that?”

The Bear Warden’s brows furrowed slightly.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand the meaning in those words; he just didn’t quite get why Lu Bai would say them at this moment.

Seeing that he had pulled enough distance, Lu Bai scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly: “Simply put, I’m planning to run away first.”

Xiong Pi: “?”

Before the Warden could react, Lu Bai moved his feet, and his whole body shot up rapidly from the ground.

“Hmph, trying to escape!”

Even though Xiong Pi couldn’t see with his eyes, he judged Lu Bai’s action from the sound and followed without hesitation.

Facing Xiong Pi whose movement speed was nearly twice his own, Lu Bai had no choice but to use Flash Time to barely pull open the distance.

Leaping into the sky over a hundred meters high once again, Lu Bai quickly swiveled his head left and right, searching at the fastest speed for Death Fighters hidden in Chikan Bay.

The situation seemed somewhat urgent.

However, there was no other way; by the standards of a Martial Artist, this Bear Warden was really strong to an absurd degree.

Lu Bai had no choice but to first borrow some useful abilities from other Death Fighters, and at the very least ensure he could break through Xiong Pi’s defense.

This wasn’t too difficult for Lu Bai.

After all, the vast majority of Death Fighters were trapped in Chikan Bay, and with the broad field of vision from above, he absolutely wouldn’t miss the conspicuous feature of a Title.

Sure enough, with just one leap, a familiar line of small text appeared on his retina.

[Data File detected. Read?]

[Read complete. Data: Madden Moment (Gold), Legal Text Mastery (White)]

[Load data?]

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Lu Bai decisively chose to read it first.

[Madden Moment (Gold): Can make an object in hand instantly appear above any closed loop-shaped object seen within the last thirty-five seconds. Consumption for the user depends on distance and quality.]

A bit interesting, but not much.

Lu Bai figured that even dropping a Building onto Xiong Pi’s head wouldn’t harm that Warden in the slightest.

He plummeted toward the position of that Title, conveniently taking out the Death Fighter hiding in the dead-end alley.

For now, he stored this Madden Moment in the Gear Slot, then Lu Bai leaped up again, selecting the next Unlucky Egg.

The second round was the Gold Ability Pool; to say they were strong, most of them indeed were.

However, from the results of Lu Bai’s readings over this period, these Gold Abilities weren’t strong enough to confront the Bear Warden.

Things like Water Dragon Bullet Technique or Monster Transformation—Lu Bai even suspected these abilities couldn’t deal with ordinary Grandmaster Martial Artists, let alone be used against Xiong Pi.

Based on this, Lu Bai was forced to pay attention to some special ones, preferably those with Rule effects, in hopes of combining them for unexpected results.

[Power Bank (Gold): Can perform power operation on objects with plugs, power and duration depend on the user’s mental state; prolonged charging will cause Explosion.]

[Word of Truth (Gold): Consume certain stamina to activate forced truth-telling within range; everyone in the effect scope can only speak the truth, each use lasts ten minutes.]

[Dragon Raises Head (Gold): On the second day of the second lunar month, the user can awaken Dragon Descendant Bloodline by looking up, gaining Authority over favorable weather, exorcising evil and averting disasters, and attracting fortune and changing luck; however, after obtaining this ability, the calendar will only cycle in the first lunar month.]

Hmm?

Wait.

Lu Bai was about to replace this Dragon Raises Head ability when he forcibly stopped his hand at the last moment.

This ability sounded like it was just for fun, with no opportunity to obtain those described Authorities.

But it seemed like it could be combined.

Lu Bai shifted his gaze to the ability in his Ability Pool that he had selected but never used once—Shave Head and Kill Uncle.

With Dragon Raises Head, he could ensure every day was the first lunar month.

So the question was, was there an ability to recognize an uncle?

At least so far, Lu Bai hadn’t found one; he even started doubting if such a combination was possible.

Would anyone really choose an ability to recognize someone as their uncle?

After all, Death Fighters would generally prioritize abilities that enhanced their direct combat power; even if not too strong, it was better than ending up with nothing like a Gambler.

Perhaps he needed to change direction?

……

“I’ve hidden here, and you still come looking—then die! Great Fire Spray!”

In the dark, damp Sewer, a man with half his face shaded by a Baseball Cap swung his fist toward Lu Bai.

Veins bulged on his fist, but the anticipated Lava did not appear on it.

“Is this what you mean?”

Lu Bai raised his hand, his entire right arm gradually covered in a layer of Lava, as if emerging from his skin pores: “Great Fire Spray.”

“How is this possible?!”

The Death Fighter in the Baseball Cap’s complexion changed abruptly; in that brief instant, he entered a state of rapid Thinking and came up with many ideas.

Unfortunately, this couldn’t stop Lu Bai’s attack; one fist came down.

Crimson light flashed through the Sewer and vanished instantly, a thick Sulfur Smell instantly filling the nasal cavity.

[Ding!]

[Points +1, Current Points: 79, Current Rank 1/71]

Lu Bai lifted the manhole cover and jumped out from the Sewer.

He checked his current Gear Slot; the retained abilities were: Great Fire Spray (Gold), Dragon Raises Head (Gold), Power Bank (Gold).

He had to admit, there was no linkage between these abilities.

But this was already the best ability combination he could select from the Death Fighters he had taken out during this time.

“Don’t run! You can’t escape!”

Lu Bai had just emerged from the Sewer not long ago when Xiong Pi’s resounding shout came from overhead once again.
