Esper X Family – Chapter 412 – Can I Learn It? (4/7)

“Pat pat, Sister. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t win. In my heart, you’ll always be the best.”

Luo Jianhua gently patted Ye Yao’s back, soothing her mind with a soft voice.

It seemed like Ye Yao was truly furious this time.

Her body temperature still hadn’t dropped.

Her heart was still racing.

She felt more than just the frustration of losing, but also a hint of fear.

It hadn’t been like this before.

She had lost in the past, but she had never been afraid, just angry and upset.

Had Lou Wei been too harsh this time?

“Sister, was Mr. Lou Wei’s attack… excessive?”

Luo Jianhua wouldn’t disregard Ye Yao’s pride by asking if she was scared.

That would only make her throw a tantrum.

“It’s nothing… just the aftereffects of being intimidated by Ruler Form. I just need to rest for a bit. A good sleep will fix it.”

Right now, Ye Yao just wanted to hold onto Luo Jianhua’s warm, soft body to calm down.

【Influenced by the host, family member Lou Wei has gone a step further and achieved a milestone that humans should never have been able to reach. Reward: 20 attribute points.】

【Unallocated attribute points: 30】

Lou Wei had dropped 30 attribute points.

At least there was some consolation prize.

But Ye Yao was far from satisfied.

Only 30 attribute points?

Who was she, a beggar?

Was this the extent of Lou Wei’s resolve?

Not good enough. Not nearly good enough!

Ye Yao was absolutely fuming.

She had seen all of Lou Wei’s motives back then.

He had gone all out just to keep her entertained.

Developing and using the Solar Corona Form was also to satisfy her.

It seemed like he was trying to fulfill what he saw as his responsibility.

At first, he just wanted to play the role of a cheap foster father, or rather, he wasn’t really playing a role. It was more like he was on autopilot.

Now, it seemed like he wanted to take it seriously.

Thus, he tried everything to make his daughter happy.

And by “daughter”, that included Ye Tong.

For Ye Tong, making her feel a strong sense of achievement was a way to please her, and being defeated in his strongest form was undoubtedly the perfect ending.

But he had overlooked one thing: Ye Tong wasn’t “Tong Yao”.

After entering Ruler Form and Solar Corona Form simultaneously, under the dual erosion of Heavenly Will, he couldn’t stop in time.

After replaying everything in her mind, Ye Yao let out a cold snort.

She had seen his sincerity.

But that was one thing, and this was another!

“I’m angry now. Get ready to feel the pressure!”

Tonight was destined to be lively.

Many people were too excited to sleep.

They had witnessed an unprecedented global spectacle, one that would surely go down in history.

No one believed that it was a natural phenomenon.

After all, they had experienced the “Tong Yao” open-source event.

Everyone knew that there were mysterious experts in this world capable of changing the world.

First, Tong Yao had awakened abilities in all of humanity.

Then, a certain loli streamer had revealed that someone in Dragon Country, the Strongest of the Current Era, could trigger natural disasters.

And such a spectacular sight was definitely caused by some expert!

Moreover, at that moment, everyone had felt a strange sensation, undoubtedly the resonance of powerful mental power.

This further confirmed their belief that the person who caused the global phenomenon was a powerful Esper.

“Heavens! Which Great Emperor has made a move? Please, stop the divine power!”

“So magnificent! I’ve never seen such a beautiful sight in my entire life! It’s so awesome to be born in this era!”

“How romantic, folks. I just confessed to the girl I like and succeeded. It was a perfect assist!”

“Everyone, why not guess which expert it is? Could it be the mysterious Lord Tong Yao?”

“It could also be the Strongest of the Current Era that the streamer keeps talking about.”

“Damn it, why is the gap between people so big? Some Espers can trigger global auroras, while others can only light someone’s cigarette!”

“Haha, my ability is eating a lot and digesting fast. What’s the point of living like this? I’m jumping!”

“I wanna delete my account and reroll! I want to be a Sequence Esper too!”

The Countermeasures Bureau acted swiftly and quickly calmed the public’s emotions.

At least everyone understood that this phenomenon wasn’t a powerful warrior going on a killing spree.

As long as there wasn’t any devastating destruction, most people would just treat it as a spectacle.

Unfortunately, the authorities didn’t release any specific details.

They couldn’t even be bloodthirsty spectators, so they could only wildly speculate among themselves.

Many couldn’t sleep, but a certain white-haired loli slept quite soundly.

After being comforted by Luo Jianhua for a while, Ye Yao fell into a deep sleep.

After all, using the ability【Fission】was quite tiring.

Never mind where the fatigue came from, it was exhausting anyway!

When tired, you sleep. Ye Yao didn’t overthink it.

She would deal with the rest after waking up.

Naturally, Luo Jianhua acted like a loli mama, doing a good job of comforting Ye Yao.

This was something even Xiao Jing couldn’t do.

It seemed that only Luo Jianhua could permanently stay by Ye Yao’s side as her hug pillow.

As for Wu Mi, Luo Jianhua had sent a message to remind her that Ye Tong probably wouldn’t be back tonight.

She would likely respawn in the daytime.

However, no one knew that the burst of mental power from Ye Tong and Lou Wei was like sending a clear signal into the depths of space.

In a distant starfield, a massive shadow seemed to sense something.

Space warped, and the shadow vanished instantly, heading toward somewhere unknown.

…

Inside the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

Fu Qi brought Lou Wei back and had professional medical Espers check his body.

“…I just need to rest a bit.”

Lou Wei hadn’t lost consciousness. He had already survived the most dangerous period. Right now, he simply needed to recuperate.

The medical Esper who had just finished the examination came to a conclusion.

“Aside from a slightly high body temperature, Mr. Lou Wei is not in immediate danger. However, he is physically and mentally weakened. It would be best if he avoids using his ability or mental power for the time being.”

The latest results made Fu Qi heave a huge sigh of relief.

Damn, I thought that had been a final spark before death.

Turns out he’s actually fine.

It was good that he was fine. If something had happened, the title of “Strongest of the Current Era” would’ve fallen on Fu Qi’s head.

Fu Qi didn’t want to take the fall for Lou Wei.

Lou Wei wasn’t even lying in a bed. He was sitting quietly on a chair nearby, looking a bit tired.

“Inhuman.”

Fu Qi couldn’t help but mutter an evaluation.

“What was that move of yours?”

“A form skill I comprehended on the spot. I call it Solar Corona Form. It basically utilizes the power of a star.”

Lou Wei still had enough energy to answer Fu Qi’s question.

S-rank Espers were naturally resilient, let alone a Super S-rank Esper with mental power exceeding 10,000.

As long as they survived the most critical period, their vital signs would return to normal levels over time.

Obviously, one wouldn’t normally survive that period. Without someone pulling him out, he might’ve perished.

“Can I learn it?”

The longing in Fu Qi’s eyes was almost overflowing.

Let’s add one more chapter. My drafts are almost gone, and I’m running out of memes too. How can I possibly keep this up?
