Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Following “Psychic Ability: Mind Reading,” “Psychic Ability: Investigation,” and “Psychic Ability: Darkness,” a new Psychic Ability had appeared-

King’s Anchor.

These four characters were slightly chuunibyou, yet they perfectly illustrated the power of the Supernatural Ability.

Li Xin lifted his chin, his face full of pride:

“How is it? The name I picked is great, right? Brother Qi’s Supernatural Ability is so badass that only King’s Anchor can describe it. The Research Institute actually adopted it!”

Everyone: “…”

A collective silence fell over them instantly, their expressions complicated.

Long Tianyu suddenly jumped down from the table. The movement was too large and pulled at his wound, causing him to grimace in pain, but he couldn’t care less.

His eyes widened as he raised his voice: “Crap, King’s Anchor? That name is way too chuuni!!”

Wu Buyu walked over to Long Tianyu’s side.

He silently added: “He thinks the name is too overbearing, and he’s salty.”

Long Tianyu didn’t bother with him and continued: “Sheng An, this name won’t do. It’s so chuuni it affects the image of Group B. Change it.”

Wu Buyu translated: “He’s saying that since he doesn’t even have such a cool name, Qi Dui shouldn’t have one either. It must be changed.”

Long Tianyu: “What was the Research Institute thinking? They actually used a name thought up by a chuuni teenager? It would be better to just call it ‘Anchor.'”

Wu Buyu translated: “He thinks King’s Anchor is too domineering. He thinks ‘Anchor’ is also fine and strongly suggests changing it to that.”

Sheng An listened calmly.

Once the two finished speaking, she twirled her folder and glanced sideways at Wu Buyu: “Is this really Long Tianyu’s inner voice, or is it what you want to say?”

Caught in the act, Wu Buyu gave an embarrassed smile: “…Both.”

Hao Jingye rolled his eyes.

So he was using the excuse of translating Long Tianyu’s inner thoughts to speak his own mind.

Even Gu Qiansheng asked: “Why adopt the name Li Xin suggested?”

Just the phrase “adopting Li Xin’s suggestion” somehow made people feel… unreliable.

And as a group of self-proclaimed Chosen Ones, the fact that Qi Dui could use such a domineering Supernatural Ability name while they couldn’t…

They were salty!

Sheng An tapped her folder, her expression calm:

“The naming was decided after considering several factors. First, the apocalypse is approaching, and we will officially go public to the entire nation the day after tomorrow. You will all step into the public eye. Qi Dui’s Supernatural Ability is very strong; having a powerful name provides more deterrence and appeal.

“Second, the name is indeed appropriate. His Supernatural Ability is very special. In terms of combat power, he can even be called the strongest among all currently discovered Supernatural Abilities. If he isn’t a ‘King,’ then what is he?”

Everyone: “…”

They were salty before the explanation, but they were even saltier after hearing it.

“What do you mean by the strongest?” Long Tianyu said sourly. “It’s just a bit special, and he happened to take down the Aberrant Xu Jia. If he really fought me, he might not necessarily be stronger than me.”

Jiang Yu looked at him with disdain: “Give it a rest. I don’t know about the other functions of Qi Dui’s Supernatural Ability, but just the point of ‘gunless sniping’ is enough to deal with you.”

Qi Dui had almost taken down Long Tianyu even before he had a Supernatural Ability.

Now that his awakened Supernatural Ability could also “fire shots,” how could he possibly miss?

Giving a sniper a Supernatural Ability like this was basically a cheat code.

Using the name “King’s Anchor” wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

Long Tianyu was left speechless.

Song Linwei was more focused on other issues. He asked curiously: “Team Leader, you just said there’s a situation with Qi Dui’s Supernatural Ability. Is there some kind of problem?”

Sheng An nodded.

The others immediately suppressed their saltiness and shifted their focus to the business at hand.

Sheng An: “He is very strong. The researchers found that the special substances attached to his body are more active, but for some reason, he seems unable to exert his full strength.”

Pausing for a moment, she said with a solemn expression: “Qi Lingwu feels the same way himself.”

The Research Institute’s findings alone might not mean everything.

But Sheng An knew Qi Lingwu. Since he said so himself, it was almost a hundred percent certain.

Possessing power but being unable to fully utilize it, as if an accident had occurred…

No matter how one looked at it, something felt wrong.

Sheng An’s brow furrowed deeply.
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with confusion.

“How is that possible? There’s no precedent for anyone else having a second awakening,” Li Wanyun frowned.

Sheng An replied, “It’s precisely because there’s no precedent that I find it strange.”

She shook her head. “We still have too little information. We’ll discuss it tonight. I’m going to the camp hospital first to change my bandages.”

Long Tianyu snapped out of it and quickly grabbed her. “Wait, Sheng An! If his Supernatural Ability can be called King’s Anchor, why can’t mine be called Ghost King? I think Ghost King sounds very intimidating.”

His eyes were full of expectation.

Sheng An gave a faint smile. “Because his name is fitting, while yours… is inappropriate.”

“What’s inappropriate about it?” Long Tianyu bristled.

“Everything about it.” Sheng An brushed his hand off and turned to leave. “Fine, I’ll see you at dinner, little ghost.”

With that, she was gone.

Long Tianyu stood rooted to the spot, dazed.

Little ghost?

-Damn it, that woman thinks ‘little ghost’ fits him better than ‘Ghost King’!

Long Tianyu was fuming.

Li Xin was still gloating. “I guess I’m the one with the brains after all, coming up with such a badass name. Iron Man plus King’s Anchor-close-quarters combat and long-range attacks. We’re definitely the strongest duo in the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone turned to look at him.

Li Xin blinked. “What?”

Li Wanyun smiled thinly. “Close the door.”

Immediately, Long Tianyu, Wu Buyu, Li Wanyun, Gu Qiansheng, and the others all pounced on him.

“Ow! Why are you hitting me?!”

“Argh! Let go of me! Damn it, are you guys crazy?”

“I’m turning into my Vajra form! Let’s see you hit me then! Ow! Gu Qiansheng, what are you doing? Don’t you dare use Silence on my Supernatural Ability!”

“Ow, ow! That hurts!”

…

Seeing his nephew getting beaten, Song Linwei immediately frowned. “You’re bullying a minor. He’s been performing very well lately. You guys-”

“You lot just wait! Once I level up my Supernatural Ability, I’m going to make you all kneel and call me Grandpa! Ow! Easy! You bastards, I’m going to jump you with a sack tonight!” Li Xin cursed.

Song Linwei: “…”

He changed his tune instantly. “Just don’t kill him.”

With that, he walked out and silently pulled the door shut.

That evening, in the cafeteria.

After finishing their work, Jiang Yu, Li Xin, and the others drifted into the cafeteria with the dead-fish eyes of people who had pulled an all-nighter and then worked all day.

Sheng An and Hao Jingye were already there.

Group A was also in the cafeteria.

When they saw Group B enter, Lou Mingwei and his teammates were uncharacteristically quiet, keeping their heads down and eating seriously as if they hadn’t seen them.

Li Xin was taken aback.

But then, he suddenly understood-

Group A used to be cocky because Group B was inferior to them.

But with Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu, the strength of the two groups had become neck-and-neck. Adding Wu Buyu meant Group A no longer held any advantage.

Later, when Gu Qiansheng and the others joined Group B, and Group A gained Ruan Zifeng and his cohort, they were more or less evenly matched again.

But then Qi Lingwu had awakened a powerful new Supernatural Ability.

Suddenly, Group B’s overall combat power surpassed Group A, and they had more members too.

No wonder Group A was so quiet and well-behaved today. They had clearly heard the news about Qi Lingwu and were intimidated by his Supernatural Ability.

At the thought of this, Li Xin suddenly grew smug.

He lifted his chin and marched past Group A with his chest puffed out like a victorious rooster, lacking only the crowing.

Even though his face was currently black and blue.

The rest of Group B caught on immediately.

As they walked past, they suddenly started talking loudly-

“Qi Dui awakened a Supernatural Ability? What was the name again?”

“King’s Anchor.”

“Oh, honestly. We already have me, Long Tianyu, Li Wanyun, Wu Buyu, Gu Qiansheng, Jiang Yu, Ke Jiaxue, Liu Yue, Ji Yani, Zhang Kun… and now we have Qi Dui too. What was that Supernatural Ability called?”

“King’s Anchor!”

“Our group’s Superpower Users are just too strong. Are we even leaving a path for anyone else? What was Qi Dui’s Supernatural Ability designated as?”

“King’s… Anchor!”
