Chapter 243: Time to Train!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Zhao Yao was soon on his way towards the dugout. He turned his head towards Roly Poly who sat in the co-driver seat and asked, “Roly Poly, have you fallen in love with life in the dugout? Why did you suddenly volunteer to tag along?”
Roly Poly simply stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yao with his innocent looking face and replied, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao! I must be by your side wherever you go. I feel so scared and lonely when I open my eyes but can’t find you by my side.” After saying such mushy stuff, Roly Poly continued his pretense by jumping onto Zhao Yao’s lap and constantly rubbed his head against his belly and claimed, “From today onwards, I will follow you wherever you go. Roly Poly will be with Zhao Yao forever and ever.”
“Hmph, so obedient?” Zhao Yao played along and stroked the bottom of his chin, “Roly Poly, you’ve become so sensible lately.”
Matcha was observing the entire scene with his arms folded across his chest. He pondered, “What happened to this Roly Poly. Why is he trying to get on stupid Zhao Yao’s good books all of a sudden?”
…
Zhao Xue stood at the entrance leading to the hideout. She was extremely fidgety and constantly tucked a lock of hair behind her ears.
She fondly remembered the date that orange cat had agreed with her. Today was the day the orange cat had promised to guide and teach her how to properly use superpowers.
“I haven’t seen Lion Head and the rest in such a long time. I wonder how they are doing.”
Just when Zhao Xue was still immersed in her own thoughts, the rocks which had previously stood in her way evaporated into thin air. An orange cat with a golden halo above his head pranced towards her and gestured, “Follow me.”
Her heart pounded as Zhao Xue made eye contact with King George. Cold sweat beaded her forehead as she tried her best to compose herself.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was behind his sister with Roly Poly in his arms. He would never allow Matcha to teach his sister without his supervision. God knew what he would teach if he had free rein to do so.
Then, they started making their way towards the Village of Dreams. Being her first visit here, Zhao Xue was enamored by the majestic mountain ranges and the pristine rivers that ran through it. She was at a loss for words as she tried to take in this astounding environment.
By utilizing his illusion, Zhao Yao had disguised himself as King George and spoke to Zhao Xue, “Even though everything seemed authentic even when you look at it, touch it or even smell it, but none of them are actually real. These are all fake. Hence, do not be too bothered by it.”
“They are fake? Is this the power of illusion?” Zhao Xue caught up to Matcha and tried to find out more about it, “Is your power to create illusions?”
Meow! Matcha was engrossed in grooming his fur and simply slid Zhao Xue a glance and did not even bother to reply her.
A vein popped out in Zhao Yao’s neck as he started exclaiming at Matcha telepathically, “Stupid cat! Get on your feet! Can you at least pretend like you’re someone noble and mighty?”
Matcha remained indifferent to Zhao Yao’s scolding as he slowly got to his feet. Zhao Yao immediately explained, “This is much more complicated than the simple illusion that you have in mind. You will understand in the future. Let’s not talk about this. Today, I am going to impart you some basic knowledge on superpower.”
Obviously, Zhao Yao had hoped that his sister would focus all her energies on her academics, instead of wasting her time training her superpower and getting involved in all sorts of battles.
Even at Zhao Yao’s current level, it was still possible for him to lose his life on the battlefield, let alone an average apostle like his sister.
However, since his sister had already made up her mind to traverse the world of supercats and superpowers, Zhao Yao was not going to release her into this dangerous world empty-handed. He would never allow his sister to lose her life for such foolish reason.
Hence, he spent the next half an hour imparting some common knowledge regarding supercats and apostles to his sister. Then, he continued by advising her, “Lion Head’s ability to change her size instantly is extremely useful. However, it is considered a high offense but low defense ability. In the world of superpower, this is the most dangerous power.”
Zhao Yao continued imparting his wisdom, accrued from his half a year dabbling in this magical world. He had condensed his wisdom and experience into the most concise explanation, “In the world of humans, especially the modern societies that we live in, humans do not lack offensive powers. Just take a look at your surroundings, household items such as vegetable knifes or even katana, taser, bombs, and missiles have destructive powers that far surpassed supercats’ superpower.
The results would be the same even if you had qigong or a simple kitchen knife. In fact, a kitchen knife would be superior in the sense that it was easier to wield.
Conversely, superpowers that have an advantage in our modern world are powers such as teleportation, flight, invisibility. The passive powers provided are far more useful than the abilities that solely provide destructive capabilities.”
As he spoke, Zhao Yao brought Roly Poly to Zhao Xue and placed his paw on her shoulders before instructing her, “Do not resist and try your best to receive this power.”
Zhao Xue shut her eyes and began to feel a strong surge of warm wave spreading from her shoulders to the rest of her body
“This is the power of invisibility. Try using it.”
By willing the power, she had instantly vanished into thin air. She glanced at her body and started beaming from ear to ear, “I am invisible? Haha! From now on, does it mean I can just enter the female toilet whenever I want, free from the prying eyes? Actually, I can do that without the power.”
Zhao Xue shook her head and tried to rid her mind of these evil thoughts. She tried experimenting with the power as her body turned from visible to invisible from time to time. Next, she focused it on her mouth, then her hands, followed by her head.
Beams of excitement shot out of her eyes as she looked towards King George and asked, “King George, do you have many superpowers?” Instantly, the orange cat which seemed fat and useless had become so mysterious and powerful.
“You really cannot judge a book by its cover. Who would have ever imagined such an ordinary cat to be so powerful and strong?”
Matcha slid Zhao Xue a guarded look and screamed at Zhao Yao telepathically, “Hey, why is this woman staring at me in such a horny manner. Zhao Yao, can you control your sister?’
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao turned a deaf ear to both Zhao Xue’s and Matcha’s questions.
“Oh, she had picked up this power rather quickly.” Zhao Yao thought as she observed her performance, “I guess Zhao Xue is rather compatible with the power of invisibility.”
Zhao Yao fondly remembered Baiquan’s performance when he first received the power. He even had to hold his breath in order to turn invisible. After months of training and basking his body in the effects of Celestial Beats did he manage to activate this power at Zhao Xue’s level.
Zhao Yao continued explaining as he noticed how much fun Zhao Xue was having with this power, “This invisibility works base on the theory of EM waves. Hence, naked eye and cameras would not be able to capture you. However, your enemies can still detect you if they have weapons equipped with infra-red.”
Zhao Xue chuckled and asked, “Haha, this is already good enough. So what are we going to train next?”
At this moment, Zhao Yao’s ears quivered as a frown appeared on his face, “Hmph, someone has barged into this place?” He instructed Matcha telepathically, “Help me manage the situation here, I’ll be gone for a while.”
Instantly, he had disappeared from the place, leaving Matcha and Zhao Xue along.
Zhao Xue stared at this mysterious cat and cocked her head sideways and asked, “So what are going to train next?”
Matcha could feel the beads of sweat accumulating at the back of his head. He forced a smile on his face before whipping out the phone from his bag and pointed at the Mobile Legends application.
“Oh?” Zhao Xue was taken aback by his gesture and clarified, “You want to me play Mobile Legends? However, there’s no signal here.”
Matcha’s paw continually darted across the phone screen in a desperate attempt to stall for time. Suddenly, Zhao Xue’s eyes shone with excitement as she exclaimed, “Are you trying to get me to learn the battle tactics from Mobile Legends and apply them to my superpower?”
“Erm, my intention was for us to take a break with a game of Mobile Legends and wait for Zhao Yao’s return …”However, Zhao Xue had already excitedly tapped on the application. A thought flashed past Matcha’s head, “Zhao Yao, don’t blame me. I have tried my best to help your sister. It’s not my fault that she interpreted my words wrongly.”
