My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 44: Third Round Ability Pool

Smack~
About ten meters away, a door panel suddenly popped up out of thin air.
Then, two men crawled out from below in a disheveled state, their black suits torn to shreds, and the sunglasses they had been wearing reduced to just half a temple arm still hanging on one ear.
It felt like if the scene changed, they could directly kneel on the ground and start begging.
The Bald Man didn’t even glance at Lu Bai and the others, cursing under his breath: “Boss, Second Brother is done for.”
“Fuck! We actually got played.”
The Boss tossed away the temple arm hanging from his ear, baring his teeth as he pressed down on the Bald Man’s shoulder: “Let’s go, Little Fourth, we’ll go settle the score with the Survey Corps.”
In the direction near the Administrative Building, covered by large swathes of shredded fabric and lime, several “corpses” struggled to support each other and stand up.
One could barely identify them from the clothes they wore as the previous gray school uniform six-man group, though now only four remained.
Looking around the ruins after the Explosion, a few lucky survivors of the Explosion could still be found, though their conditions were clearly not good.
At the time of the Explosion, Zhuo Li had been on top of the tent.
Given the situation then, Xiao Xueyin hadn’t held much hope for whether Zhuo Li could survive.
On the contrary, the Hoodie Man also perishing in the Explosion came as a big surprise to him.
It could only be said to be bad luck.
“Since it has already happened, regret is useless; we still need to look forward.” Xiao Xueyin suppressed his inner negative emotions, trying to encourage everyone.
But the fact was, setting aside Osas who had little combat power, the other two didn’t need any encouragement at all.
After coming back to her senses, Liu Yue was already eagerly ready, her eyes gleaming with ferocity.
“Cat-pinching one, this old lady is going to kill off this Survey Corps today.”
Lu Bai was even less likely to have any emotional fluctuation; at most, he felt like laughing a bit.
Seeing their reactions, Xiao Xueyin was momentarily speechless, unsure whether to advise Liu Yue to calm down a bit.
He was silent for a moment, then reminded: “Let’s check the Ability Pool for the third round first.”
Actually, when the system prompt sounded, Lu Bai had already checked his own third-round Ability Pool, but he just hadn’t made up his mind yet.
After all, his Ability Pool this round was Color Level.
[Demon Contract (Color): Demons have an incomprehensible obsession with contracts; you can exchange your life for a demon to help you fulfill your wish. This Ability is extremely uncontrollable. Please remember, user, when you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss is also gazing at you.]
[Flash Time (Color): Terror Killer Hit’s signature skill, with time-jumping effects. Using this Ability requires no extra physical consumption, maximum jump time of 0.5 seconds; you can fully utilize this time to freely torment your opponent. Warm reminder: each use requires at least one second interval.]
[Cannot Be Directly Viewed (Color): One of the Ancient God traits. After obtaining this Ability, you will become a source of indescribable Fear. No matter the means of observation, it will cause distortion, Chaos, Crazy, and other negative effects to the observer. This Ability is extremely uncontrollable. Please remember, user, the observer also includes you.]
……
From the descriptions, the strength of these three Abilities in the pool all lived up to the Color level.
The reason for Lu Bai’s hesitation was mainly that these powerful Abilities all seemed to carry considerable risks.
Especially [Demon Contract] and [Cannot Be Directly Viewed]; from their descriptions, it was as if the system was advising him not to choose them.
It just felt like choosing them might lead to dying even faster.
Lu Bai pondered for a moment and chose [Flash Time], which seemed to have less risk.
“Yay! This round is actually a Gold Ability Pool.”
Liu Yue’s expression changed at lightspeed, her voice full of excitement.
However, the smile didn’t spread.
Xiao Xueyin’s expression grew even more grave: “This isn’t good.”
For Death Fighters, in most cases, the higher the level of each round’s Ability Pool, the better.
But clearly, that didn’t apply now.
If roughly categorizing the levels of Ability Pools, it would be something like this—
White Abilities have no supernatural factors: Fighting Skills, driving skills, or some ordinary weapons—these basically fall under the White scope.
Silver is better than White Level Abilities, but with greater restrictions, generally carrying some supernatural effects; used at the right time, they have remarkable effects.
At the Gold level, they are already complete Supernatural Powers; relatively speaking, there are no restrictions on use, at most differences in strength.
This could be seen from the two Gold Abilities Lu Bai chose: outstanding effects, even reaching the point of transformation.
As for Color Level Abilities, there’s nothing more to say; just the color of the Ability Pool exudes intensity.
Xiao Xueyin felt frustrated precisely because of this.
The reason was simple: the Survey Corps had too many Death Fighters.
Ten Silver Abilities and ten Gold Abilities were completely different concepts, let alone the Survey Corps having more than ten.
“Run now while you can, as far as possible.” Xiao Xueyin no longer planned to stay in this Military Base.
Liu Yue had already chosen her Ability and, hearing Xiao Xueyin, dissatisfiedly tossed her hair: “Hey, don’t be a coward; just do it.”
“Well said, you’re not even as good as a girl.”
The black-suited Boss had somehow circled around; he patted the shoulder of the Bald Man henchman beside him and said to Liu Yue: “Little sister, want to join us brothers to settle the score with the Survey Corps?”
Xiao Xueyin glanced at him but didn’t argue.
“Oi!”
Yan Zhiquan shouted, leading his three surviving students toward Lu Bai and the others.
After two steps, feeling uncomfortable, he simply tore off his school uniform pants that had become rags, temporarily turning them into shorts.
“So, given the situation, we should team up, right?” Still seven or eight meters away, Yan Zhiquan couldn’t wait to speak up.
“One, two, three…”
The black-suited Boss counted around and grinned: “You know, we’ve suddenly got exactly ten people.”
Noticing Liu Yue’s eager appearance, Xiao Xueyin finally couldn’t stay silent.
“The Survey Corps has clearly joined forces with the Ten Blades; I don’t believe you haven’t realized that.”
“So what?”
The black-suited Boss’s tone suddenly changed, faintly emanating an indescribable Killing Intent.
“Hide and pray others find you later when the situation’s off?”
He spat disdainfully and continued contemptuously: “I’d say, kid, you’ve been dulled by the academy; not a drop of guts.”
Hearing this, Lu Bai rubbed his Forehead with his palm: “Throwing zombies in the Settlement is your idea of guts?”
