Chapter 668: Chapter 679 Special Abilities

After that, Chen Hao brought Li Ba back to Uncle’s house in the shanty town.

“Chen Hao, what took you so long? Did you all get into trouble?” When Li Mumu heard Chen Hao’s voice, she quickly came out to meet them.

“Not really, it was just a small issue!” Chen Hao replied and lightly nodded.

“Chen Hao, who is he?” Li Mumu asked curiously as she looked at the shabbily-dressed Li Ba.

“He’s my friend. Mumu, can you help me tidy up the spare room? I’ll go and let Uncle know that Li Ba will be staying here with us for awhile. Right, where is Uncle?” Chen Hao asked, looking around the house.

“Uncle went out to run some errands!” Li Mumu said.

“I’ve already gotten the medicine. First, I’ll go and redress Xinxin’s wounds, then I’ll accompany Li Ba to buy some clothes. Tomorrow, we still have other things to deal with!” Chen Hao said.

“Huh? Why are you so busy? I wanted to ask you to teach me some martial arts!”

Disgruntled, Li Mumu rolled her eyes at Chen Hao. However, she still obeyed him and went off to tidy up the spare room.

Chen Hao used two whole hours before he finally finished redressing Xinxin’s wound.

This way, after Xinxin’s arm healed, no scars would be left and it would mend seamlessly.

After that, they ate before Chen Hao brought Li Ba to his room. They were planning to return to that village the next day. This time, Chen Hao would be able to wholly focus on finding a suitable vessel for the lady in white.

To be honest, looking for a vessel was a bit unethical.

Based on what Li Ba said, if one were to remain in their vessel for too long, say more than ten days, then the origin of the host’s soul would be severely damaged.

Yun Qing was a good example. Chen Hao didn’t know if the real Yun Qing was dead or alive now.

When he thought about that selfless girl, a wave of self-blame rose in Chen Hao’s heart.

Although it wasn’t his fault that she was harmed, he was indirectly at fault.

If it wasn’t for his own mistake of falling into another dimension, then he wouldn’t have messed things up and released her.

That was why this time, Chen Hao had prepared himself to find several vessels.

It didn’t matter if they were going to ask for money. No matter how much they asked for, Chen Hao was willing to pay the price.

If everything went smoothly, the lady in white would be saved.

Chen Hao would never stop looking for vessels for her.

He would do it in order to avoid harming innocents.

That pair of siblings were an important clue.

Early morning the next day.

Chen Hao and Li Ba arrived at the village.

However, Chen Hao didn’t expect to see the boy who he saved yesterday to be squatting by the village gate the moment he arrived.

He held a knife in his hand and was swinging it around the very place the corpses lay yesterday.

Li Ba was very careless. After killing all those people yesterday, he had just thrown them into the bushes by the road.

When Chen Hao walked over to take a look, the place had already been cleaned up.

“Brother, Uncle, you’re here!” the little boy stood up in excitement once he saw Chen Hao and Li Ba.

Yesterday, Chen Hao and the other uncle had saved him and his sister. They were very skilled in martial arts.

This older brother seemed very mysterious.

He could feel it.

That left a deep impression on that little boy.

“Huh? It looks like you were waiting for someone. It can't be us, right?” Chen Hao said wryly as he looked at the little boy.

“You guys are exactly who I was waiting for! I heard that both of you were rushing over, and I know that you are coming here to find my sister and I. Yesterday, you even said that you had something that you needed my sister’s help with!” the little boy said.

Chen Hao exchanged a glance with Li Ba.

This little fellow wasn’t a regular kid.

Only now did they remember something that the little boy had said yesterday before they parted ways.

He said that he could hear danger and predict peril, hence that was how he escaped from it.

He wasn’t afraid of the beasts in the mountain at all.

“How did you know?” Chen Hao asked.

If that were true, then this little fellow seemed to be a bit abnormal. Even Chen Hao couldn’t sense something from somewhere as far away as the shanty town.

However, this little guy could do it. Weird!

“Hehe, my sister calls this my biggest secret! Right, Brother and Uncle, what do you need my sister for?” the boy asked.

“Just bring us to see your sister first. To be honest, I have something to ask of her!” Chen Hao said honestly.

“Alright!”

After that, Li Shuisheng brought the two of them to his house.

“Chen Hao, Uncle, can you two please teach me martial arts? I want to be as powerful as you two, so that no one will dare to bully me! I can predict danger, but I can only escape from it, and I have no way to solve it. Just like yesterday, when those *ssholes caught my sister!” Li Shuisheng begged along the way.

For some reason, when he saw the two of them, especially Chen Hao, he felt as though they were very approachable and amiable.

That was why Li Shuisheng straightaway came clean with what he was thinking.

“You want to learn these, but you haven’t told us how you got your special abilities! How did you know that we were coming today?” Chen Hao asked dryly.

Of course, he didn’t actually want Li Shuisheng to tell him his secret. He would let Li Shuisheng get what he wanted.

“This is a secret! It’s my biggest secret! However, Chen Hao, you need to keep your word. If I tell you, then you and Uncle have to teach me!” Li Shuisheng said.

He was really too excited to learn about martial arts.

Li Ba chuckled and said, “Even if you don’t tell us your secret ability, we have a pretty good guess. You probably have Omniscience, right?”

“Omniscience?” Chen Hao said in surprise.

This term sounded extremely mystical.

He probably wouldn't be able to reach that level.

However, when it came to certain things, Li Ba clearly knew much more than himself.

As expected, Li Shuisheng was extremely surprised. He widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Uncle, you could tell with just one look?”

“Hehe, we have someone just like you back home, but he’s much stronger than you!” Li Ba said.

“However, you don’t seem like you’ve gone through any special training. How did you get such a special ability?” Li Ba scratched his head.

“Just like I expected! Both of you are really skilled people. Hehe, I am Omniscient. I’ve calculated it before. I just need to think about it and I can hear sounds from over five hundred miles away. I can also sense if danger is near,” Li Shuisheng said.

“Sigh. At first, I thought that having this special ability would make me rich. However, I realized that this Omniscience is practically useless. I can’t earn money from it, and I don’t have any money to treat my grandfather’s illness. Thus, I have to go to the mountains and pick medicine!” Li Shuisheng said with a sigh.

“Li Ba, how did he get this Omniscience? I assume that it’s through some sort of method that causes the ears to mutate, right? Regular people wouldn't be able to cultivate this even if they tried!” Chen Hao asked curiously.

“For that, we’ll have to ask Li Shuisheng how he got it. Originally, when I mutated, the ability I got was superhuman strength!” Li Ba continued, “also, in order to achieve this sort of mutation, you have to have some sort of Spirit Medicine!”

Chen Hao nodded.

Li Ba was, after all, from the Border Realm. That was a mysterious place.

That place could possibly cause mutations. Based on that understanding, if Li Shuisheng had always been living here, how could he possibly be like Li Ba and get a special ability?

Chen Hao was perplexed.

He hurriedly asked Li Shuisheng.

Of course, Li Shuisheng wasn’t some simple fool. This little fellow was very smart.

He made Chen Hao swear thrice that he would teach Li Shuisheng martial arts before he was willing to tell them.

“Chen Hao, it happened when I was twelve. I got it from a snake’s cave in the mountains. There, I ate some sort of strange fruit before I became like this. In that cave, there were also a lot of really weird drawings…”
