Top-Tier Superpower Student

"You can't escape the palm of my hand; behave yourself, or else, I'll kiss you," Lin Tian yelled, deliberately licking his lips and pouting slightly.

Xiahou Qingyi stared at Lin Tian's lips, trembling slightly in fear. She knew Lin Tian had benefited from the gemstone and was no match for him; if Lin Tian really acted like a hooligan, she would be the one at a disadvantage.

For her own safety and purity, Xiahou Qingyi compromised and stopped struggling, hoping Lin Tian would let her go.

She stopped moving, which actually saved Lin Tian; the evil fire within him slowly faded, and he gradually released Xiahou Qingyi.

"You pervert, peeping Tom," Xiahou Qingyi scolded without moving her hands but didn't hold back with her mouth.

Lin Tian had wanted to peep, but since he hadn't managed to, that didn't make him a peeping Tom.

He defended himself, "I didn't peep at you. I came to find you openly and honestly."

"Lies! If you weren't peeping at me, what are you doing here so late at night?"

"It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing a good person's heart. I came here tonight to help you. Who would have thought that, without a word, you would start beating me with a stick and even splash me with filth?"

Feeling indignant, Lin Tian took out the gemstone and held it up in front of Xiahou Qingyi.

Xiahou Qingyi was aware of the gemstone's power and suddenly realized that she might have wronged Lin Tian. She said apologetically, "You... what are you doing with this...!"

"Of course, I'm helping you awaken your superpower. All my hard work has been rewarded with nothing but stink and curses."

"Then why didn't you come to find me tomorrow? What do you need to find me for in the middle of the night? Look at the time!" Xiahou Qingyi shouted defensively.

She yelled, and Lin Tian also raised his voice, "The gemstone belongs to the nation. I risked getting punished to leave it for you, to help you and Li Chong awaken your superpowers. Tomorrow, I have to hand it over. If I don't find you tonight, when should I look for you?"

Xiahou Qingyi saw Lin Tian's angry expression and felt that she might have prejudged him too harshly. Lin Tian didn't seem as bad as she imagined, especially when he was on a mission; he was practically an elite among the military. Although he was a bit naughty, it was unlikely that he would stoop to peeping, right?

She changed the subject, "This gemstone can stimulate a person's superpower, but I've already awakened one."

Lin Tian, growing impatient, placed the gemstone in Xiahou Qingyi's palm and said, "Try it. Some people awaken two or even more superpowers. Like me; I didn't awaken just two."

Xiahou Qingyi nodded, placing her hand gently on the gemstone while Lin Tian bit his fingertip and let a drop of blood fall.

The gemstone's light flared brilliantly, and a purple aura swirled around Xiahou Qingyi. Her hair fluttered as if she were Fairy Zixia descending to the mortal realm, stunningly beautiful.

As awe-inspiring as the process was, the outcome was not as favorable. The gemstone failed to awaken a second superpower in Xiahou Qingyi because she only possessed one; a gemstone can stimulate superpowers, but not create them.

Feeling disappointed, Xiahou Qingyi sat on the couch with her head lowered, remaining silent.

Lin Tian put away the gemstone and consoled her, "It's fine; having a superpower already makes you one in a few hundred thousand. And your superpower is lightning, incredibly powerful, a lethal weapon. Be content. I'm leaving now; you should rest well!"

After leaving the room, Lin Tian felt somewhat unwilling to go. Had Xiahou Qingyi awakened a second superpower, he would have stayed to talk with her longer. But since she didn't, and feeling uncomfortable, Lin Tian naturally couldn't disturb her.

The next morning at nine o'clock, Lin Tian took the gemstone to the senior officer.

He presented the gemstone with both hands, saying, "This is the gemstone that Nidhogg's soldiers and the naval officers fought hard to obtain. With the Dragon Emperor absent, I am handing it over to you first."

The senior officer didn't take the gemstone; instead, he said, "I'm aware of yesterday's events. You risked your life to get the gemstone and subdued it with your blood. The gemstone has acknowledged its master; only you can bring out its miraculous effects. Why give it to me? In your hands, it's a gemstone; in ours, it's just a rock."

"Are you saying...!"

"That's right, you will keep the gemstone," the senior officer declared definitively.

"Thank you, sir," Lin Tian saluted, feeling incredibly excited as he lovingly caressed the gemstone.

The senior officer continued, "We suffered heavy losses in this battle. Nidhogg's hard-trained elite lost three-quarters of its members, and even the Dragon Emperor is now critically injured in the hospital. Despite our losses, we gained the gemstone. With it, we can create more powerful individuals in the shortest time and restore Nidhogg to its former glory."

"Yes, Nidhogg will rise again," Lin Tian affirmed.

The senior officer added, "Nidhogg will rest and recuperate for a month. Afterward, there will definitely be significant action. You've made a great contribution this time. Nidhogg rewards the meritorious and punishes the guilty. Tell me, what do you need? If you can't do it yourself, feel free to ask me. For example, if you want to enter the Dragon Transformation Liquid again, I can greenlight it for you. As long as it's not excessive and doesn't violate principles, you can ask for anything."

After hearing this, Lin Tian was overjoyed, as he indeed had an urgent matter that required Nidhogg's assistance.

His first wife, He Qianqian, was still in a coma at the hospital, which had always troubled Lin Tian. The "Taotie System" had mentioned that finding a healing source to graft onto her would cure He Qianqian. The problem was that superpowered individuals were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and among them healers were even scarcer. Lin Tian didn't know where to begin, and searching on his own was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Lin Tian hoped that Nidhogg would help him.

He spoke frankly, "Elder leader, my first wife was gravely injured and has become a vegetable, lying in the hospital now. She needs the superpower source of a healing superpowered individual to be saved. That's why I hope you can help me."

The elder leader said, "I'll keep an eye out for this matter, and I'll notify you immediately if there's any news."

"Thank you, elder leader."

With a face full of joy, Lin Tian took his leave.

…, ….

A day later, the elder leader found Lin Tian and said, "I have found the information you needed."

"Really?" Lin Tian exclaimed in amazement. It was like finding a needle in the sea, but the elder leader had found the needle in just one day. He wanted to give the elder leader ten thumbs up.

"America has a military doctor named Hastert. He is a healer, known as the Divine Doctor."

"He never treats ordinary civilians; his patients are all government officials, generals in command of armies, and rich businessmen."

"It's said his medical skills have reached the point of bringing the dead back to life. Therefore, America values him highly. A large number of bodyguards are arranged around him. His residence alone houses more than a hundred bodyguards, and no one can track his movements. So, it's impossible to take him out in America."

Lin Tian asked, "Then what should we do?" His eyes were filled with hope. He didn't believe the elder leader would fail to offer him a solution.

The elder leader did not disappoint Lin Tian and continued, "Five thousand miles away from America, there is a small nation called Hedan. With a population of less than ten million and no more than five hundred thousand soldiers, they had been living a peaceful, though tough, life without any enmity towards America."

"However, inadvertently, Americans discovered that Hedan had abundant oil reserves. After several unsuccessful negotiations, America sent troops to Hedan."

"In just half a month, three-quarters of Hedan had fallen. The Americans were attacking Hedan while sending experts to explore and prepare for oil extraction."

"To ensure the safety of these experts, the Americans plan to send Hastert as the accompanying doctor to the battlefields, departing in three days."

"You have one chance to take him out on the battlefield and seize the healing power source within him. Be very careful," the elder leader warned.

"Yes," Lin Tian nodded and then asked, "Can I bring Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong with me to assist?"

"You can," the elder leader agreed.

Lin Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, elder leader. I will go back to Wu'an City with Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong to prepare, and we will set off in three days."

After he said this, he found Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong, explained the situation, and the three of them returned to Wu'an City together.

The trio went directly to the company and found Shen Mengyi and Bu Mengting.

Shen Mengyi was in charge of the major affairs of the company, while Bu Mengting assisted with the minor tasks. The cooperation between the two was quite pleasant.

The marketing scale of the healing potion had been progressively perfected. In just over ten days, Shen Mengyi had acquired two more pharmaceutical companies and tagged them with the "Tianyi Pharma" brand as subsidiaries.

The healing potion had already spread throughout the country, and they were currently expanding overseas, having started pre-sales.

However, Lin Tian made it clear that if countries like America or other nations that had disputes with Huaxia wanted to purchase the healing potions, they would have to pay a hundred times the price; otherwise, they wouldn't get a single potion.

Afterward, Lin Tian called Shen Mengyi, Bu Mengting, Chen Lihui, Wang Ying, and Jiang Hui together, introducing Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong to them. They had a simple meal together, and Lin Tian kept Wang Ying and Jiang Hui with him, while the others went back to their respective tasks.

Wang Ying and Jiang Hui were Lin Tian's most reliable brothers aside from Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong, those who had followed Lin Tian the longest and were utterly loyal to him.

This time, Lin Tian was intent on killing Hastert and seizing the healing superpower source within him. Knowing that this mission would be fraught with danger, Lin Tian decided to take Wang Ying and Jiang Hui with him.

Lin Tian took out a gemstone, hoping they were latent superpowered individuals and, with the power of the gemstone, would help them awaken their superpowers and enhance their strength.

Jiang Hui went first. Gripping the gemstone with excitement, Lin Tian dropped a drop of his blood onto it, and after a swirl of purple mist, Jiang Hui indeed did not disappoint Lin Tian. He awakened his superpower and his strength increased exponentially!
