The spider monster was unaware that its lifelong reputation was about to be destroyed, and was nervously contemplating escape strategies.
Qi Yuan was equally anxious, watching the spider, afraid it might suddenly lose its mind and attack him.
[Take a hostage? No, that would completely enrage the golden-eyed human, and I'd die miserably.]
Death!!
I will die...
The key words in its mind triggered a response, and the spider became like a startled bird, incredibly uneasy.
[What ability does he have? Dragon? Fire? It doesn't look like either... Damn, if I knew his ability, I would know how to escape.]
The spider monster suddenly noticed its own shadow and looked up at the sky.
The sky was dyed gold and red by the setting sun, with large clouds blocking half the sky. The edges of the clouds were outlined in golden lines, with sunlight peeking through the gaps.
Gold!?
[Ah, so his ability is related to the sun or light.]
Qi Yuan was about to speak but stopped.
Stop overthinking, brother. Just run.
The spider's endless imagination made Qi Yuan anxious for a few minutes before he finally relaxed.
He reached out to shoo away the flies that had been buzzing around him in the market, but this seemed to trigger the spider monster's sensitive nerves.
[He's about to make a move! No, I can't just sit and wait.]
Should it use its jumping ability to escape to the sky?
The spider monster was thinking of solutions, but its brain began to involuntarily play out potential scenarios.
It would leap into the sky, and the golden-eyed human, without concern for harming other humans, would shoot countless light rays that would pierce its body.
What if it charged recklessly to create chaos and escape?
The moment the thought arose, it imagined the golden-eyed human becoming completely enraged and instantly burning it to ashes.
Every escape method it considered was immediately followed by a mental scenario of its own death.
Qi Yuan's hand trembled slightly as he tried to shoo away the fly.
He couldn't decide whether to put his hand down or keep it raised.
The people at the scene and the livestream viewers didn't think he was shooing away a fly. They saw him about to make a move and held their breath, watching intently.
[Come on, bro, give us some excitement]
[Our city's handsome guy, sisters, charge!]
[Don't even think about it. You wouldn't have the face to confess in person. I respect your courage. P.S. I'm his classmate]
[Classmates haven't seen him use his ability in nearly three years. Wow, are big shots always this low-key?]
[Others are young and beating monsters, while I'm still nervously preparing for the combat ability exam, discovering the world's disparities daily]
[Observing the big shot]
Hm?
Qi Yuan maintained his hand position.
Suddenly, a massive energy surged through his body, continuously filling him.
This power was like the fierce summer sun, burning and scorching the earth wherever its light reached.
Countless ways to use the power emerged in his mind—
Light transformation, light walls, light balls...
Qi Yuan felt this power and momentarily forgot he was in a dangerous situation.
After imagining a hundred death scenarios, the spider monster's fear accumulated, and its rationality collapsed.
[If I don't fight, I'll die. Fighting gives me a chance of survival.]
Feeling thoroughly humiliated, it glared menacingly.
Now's the moment!
This arrogant golden-eyed human who didn't take it seriously had given it a golden opportunity.
In less than half a second, the spider monster shot out silk threads to create a crude web, quickly crawling along the threads.
Its strange human-like eyes opened, charging directly at Qi Yuan.
Chelicerae spread, shooting poisonous threads from its mouth.
Opening its human eyes was its strongest state, with observation abilities at their peak, allowing it to briefly break through to B-tier monster physical levels.
The cost was a period of weakness after exhausting its body's energy.
At the life-or-death moment, the spider monster no longer cared about the consequences.
Its racing form was too fast for the naked eye, leaving a phantom in the wind.
"So fast!"
Zhou Hai couldn't help but clench his fist and shout, like a commentator giving an exciting livestream narration.
"Purely through physical ability, this speed is already at B-tier monster level."
[Damn, don't mess up, big shot!]
[Wow, such a big spider just disappeared]
[Hmph, I didn't like how it was showing off. It's probably just a weakling]
Before the comments could fully appear,
A dazzling light wall rose, blocking the spider's poisonous threads.
The toxic threads that could dissolve specially built residential buildings couldn't even scratch the light wall.
The spider racing on its web immediately turned to flee.
What chance of survival? This is no different from suicide!
It recalled the human story of waiting by a tree for rabbits, realizing how cunning this human was.
The spider monster turned to run, but the patrol officers didn't stop it.
They had only one thought—
Don't be a pig teammate and drag the big shot down!
As if responding to their efforts...
The light wall, as brilliant as sunlight, transformed into light balls.
Slender, well-defined fingers casually brushed off dust.
Countless light balls shot out, creating light lines that pierced through the rapidly escaping spider monster.
The spider monster didn't even have time to scream before turning to ash and disappearing.
Strong! So strong!
The livestream audience screamed in their hearts.
It was no wonder they were so impressed.
Due to monster influences, many wild areas had no signal, and the livestream could only witness limited battle intensities.
Moreover, those reaching B-tier ability user strength wouldn't be doing livestreams for ordinary people without trying to break into higher tiers.
[So excited I can't speak. One word: Awesome!]
[Look at their awakened ability, and then look at my trash ability]
[Damn, are you here to show off your awakened ability?]
[Awakening a trash ability is worse than not awakening, at least there's still hope]
[Hehe, is ability the key point? Even powerful abilities need sufficient energy to release. We're both water-type, but I'm a water ball while an S-tier ability user is an entire ocean]
[We know you have a water-type ability, go throw out a seal]
The patrol officers, though more experienced than the viewers, had never seen such a young, powerful individual before.
This child has the potential for...
Cough, an S-tier ability user.
However, was it just their imagination, or did the golden eyes seem less bright than before...
Qi Yuan released his power and returned to his usual weak state.
He was like someone who had mysteriously found millions, only to see the money disappear just as mysteriously.
Besides bewilderment, he felt a hint of melancholy.
Especially when he remembered he was actually poor, his melancholy deepened.
It wasn't until he looked down and saw the fly's corpse that Qi Yuan confirmed everything wasn't just a dream.
Wait a minute!
If he had accidentally hit the fly, it wouldn't have a corpse.
Tsk, he didn't even hit it?
If he had hit it, his ability wouldn't have disappeared.
Qi Yuan, who mysteriously lost millions, unreasonably blamed the fly.
