Chapter 583: An Ability That’s Beyond the System?

When they saw that Su Yang had arrived, the little monsters greeted Su Yang one after another. Little Deeny also walked up and explained, “Master, we are looking at Madam Spirit Building’s ability.”

A question mark appeared on Su Yang’s face. ‘Spirit Building, the old lady, has her own ability as well? What kind of ability does she have?

‘Wasn’t she one with Last Building? They even have separate abilities?

‘That can’t be right either.

‘Even if they have separate abilities, the system should have shown it.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang followed the gazes of the monsters and looked at the empty space not far away.

In the end, Last Building, the female knight, jumped down from her giant black mist horse. When she landed on the ground, the giant black mist horse immediately turned into a puff of smoke and dispersed with the wind.

The tall black armor on Last Building’s body slowly shrunk and stuck to her body, outlining her exquisite figure and… Revealing her head.

‘Just as I thought, she actually does have a head when she is riding her horse. However, because her armor expands, her head would shrink into the armor, making her look like a headless horseman.

After the armor was perfectly fitted onto her, Last Building clenched her hands into fists and slapped her voluptuous left chest. Immediately, the armor on her body emitted a “Clang, clang, clang” sound before ferociously removing itself from her body as it dropped to the ground. Then, Last Building wrapped her arms around her chest and slowly closed her eyes.

As she closed her eyes, her body started to disperse, turning into black particles that spread in the air. Soon, she turned into a thin layer of black mist.

The black mist suddenly shrank, turning into Spirit Building, the old lady.

Spirit Building, the old lady, was still leaning on her wooden stick. Her hair was pale, her back bent and her hands were behind her back. Her face was filled with wrinkles and she looked like she was about to die.

When she arrived in the real world, she coughed twice, then opened her droopy eyelids slightly and scanned the empty space before her. Then she asked in her weak, old voice, “So, it’s this land, is it?”

Little Deeny quickly answered, “Yes, madam, this is the land. We would like to plant trees here.”

“Okay…” Spirit Building weakly replied. Then… She just stood there without moving.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… Ten seconds passed. Just when Su Yang thought that she had fallen asleep again, a gust of wind blew by her side, carrying her tattered clothes with it.

At the same time, Janet took a big step forward and stood in front of Su Yang. She looked at the old lady warily.

Su Yang looked at Janet and then at Spirit Building, the old lady. He could not help but ask, “Is she very strong?”

Janet’s beautiful face revealed a rare serious expression. “Very strong.”

‘Eh…

‘She’s very strong.

‘Even stronger than Janet?’

Su Yang looked at Spirit Building’s frail and weak appearance.

‘Is she even considered to be powerful…?

‘Has Janet made a mistake?’

Just as Su Yang was complaining, the wind got stronger. A layer of yellow fluorescence appeared on Spirit Building, the old lady’s body as though there was like a layer of light covering her body. Accompanied by the wind, her feet slowly left the ground and flew into the sky.

In the air, she closed her wrinkled eyes and spread her arms wide. Instantly, an incomparably oppressive aura erupted from her body.

When the aura reached its peak, she pressed her palms together and slowly opened her eyes before she shouted, “Spirit!”

Following her shout, the light membrane on her body suddenly retracted, condensing only on her closed hands. Her entire body began to change visibly.

Her bent body slowly straightened and grew taller.

Her pale hair slowly turned black and long.

The wrinkles on her face slowly faded and disappeared. She had regained her youth…

In just a moment, she went from being an old lady who looked like she was in her eighties to a teenage girl…

She looked like Spirit Building, but she was several decades younger. Her body had grown from 1.3 meters to 1.7 meters.

The tattered linen shirt that she was originally wearing now revealed her navel, also revealing her slender waist and long legs.

After she turned into a beautiful girl, her eyes were as bright as the stars, staring at the vast land!

Su Yang was stunned. ‘This old monster has actually become young again?!’

Just as he was bewildered, Spirit Building opened her palms ferociously and shouted again, “Open!”

Her voice was light and did not sound old at all, exactly like a teenage girl.

Accompanied by her shout, a ball of pale yellow light appeared between her hands and then they shot towards the empty space ahead!

The soil flew in the air and smoke lingered. In just a moment, the pale yellow ball of light had plowed through the empty ground, creating a pit almost half a meter in diameter, making it perfect for planting trees.

There was enough space for at least a hundred saplings.

‘This… This is so terrifying!

‘It felt like the entire ground had been purged by shrapnels!’

Su Yang was dumbfounded.

However, Spirit Building’s “performance” was not over yet. Her hands kept opening and closing like she was cheating as the second and third rounds of “cannonballs” appeared one after another.

She kept on going for twelve rounds before she placed her palms together. The golden light on her body dimmed and her face was filled with wrinkles again. Her hair turned pale and her body started to bend, returning to her old self.

She seemed to have expended all her energy as she slowly landed on the ground.

When she landed, she coughed and picked up the wooden stick. With her back to her waist, she turned around shakily and slowly walked towards the group.

No one could link her to the beautiful girl who had just bombarded the place.

At the same time, Su Yang finally understood why Janet had treated Spirit Building as if he was facing a formidable enemy!

‘This lady is a walking cannon!

‘On she were to be placed on the battlefield in Syria, she would be the most impressive individual weapon!

‘Her lethality is simply amazing!

‘But… What is her ability? Why was it not shown in the system?

‘Did the system make a mistake?’

Su Yang was shocked and confused.

That was why Su Yang could not hide his curiosity even when the old lady walked slowly towards him. “Madam, what is your ability?”

Madam Spirit Building tried to lift her eyelids, but failed.

Hence, she said weakly, “360-Degree Orbital Hyper Destructive Cannonball.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘Bullsh*t!

‘Does it really have such a long ability name? You’re probably just making it up, aren’t you?’

While Su Yang was thinking about that, [Space Traversing Eyes] did not let him down. [Pretentious]…

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Hmm, as expected. It was all made up.

‘However, this old lady is really young at heart, she was actually still trying to be cool…

‘That’s not right… is she really old to begin with?’

Su Yang thought back to how Spirit Building, the old lady, looked when she was in the air. ‘That beautiful girl, that collagen-filled and beautiful face, those long legs of hers… Could she really be an old woman?

‘Why am I finding it hard to believe?

‘Also, she regains her youth the moment she uses his ability?

‘Is aging so easily reversed?

‘Does she think she’s Genkai!’

Hence, Su Yang probed, “Madam, how old are you?”

Spirit Building said weakly, “86.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [False]…

Su Yang chuckled. “Are you the same age as your great-granddaughter?”

Spirit Building looked at Su Yang as though he was a fool. “How is that possible?”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [False]…

Su Yang knew what was going on and asked confidently, “You’re not your real self now, are you?”

Spirit Building, the old lady, massaged her waist and said weakly, “This is my true appearance.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [True].

Su Yang was confused.

‘That was actually true?

‘Could it be that this isn’t like what i think it is?

‘I previously guessed that Spirit Building is a pretty girl, but she had disguised herself as an old woman. Now, that doesn’t seem right.’

He could not help but ask, “Madam, what’s the relationship between you and that girl who looked to be 16 or 17 years old?”

Spirit Building said with her old voice. “That’s what I looked like when I was young…”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [True].

Spirit Building’s drooping eyelids slowly opened. She looked into the distance as if she was recalling her life. She said in a distant voice, “Actually, when I was born, I had an ability. This ability allows me to regain my youth when I use it, but it would consume all the energy in my body. Therefore, I don’t use it often.”

“I only used it this time because you needed it. However, I didn’t expect it to be out of energy after shooting so little.”

She sighed and shook her head. “I’m getting old.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Half-True].

Su Yang pondered.

‘Even though Spirit Building’s words were half true and half false, I can roughly guess the whole story from the “hints” given by [Space Traversing Eyes].

‘I’m guessing that Spirit Building’s real age is the same as Last Building. They’re both 17 or 18 years old.

‘After all, the two of them are twins, so theoretically speaking, they should be about the same age. Like they said before, they were two souls sharing one body. However, it’s completely unrealistic to have an age gap of tens of years away.

‘The reason why Spirit Building has become like this is probably because she possesses an ability that the system does not have. While that ability gives her tremendous power, it also takes away her youth, turning her into an old woman.

‘When she uses her power, she could temporarily return to her real age.

‘Then comes the question.

‘Why doesn’t this ability appear in the system? Also, why is it able to give her such great power?

‘If this ability wasn’t given by the system, would I be able to learn this ability?

‘Of course, I don’t want to become an old grandpa. I’m only interested in everything that could improve my abilities!

After all, even though I have many special abilities, some of them very powerful, none of them could change the power of my body.

‘If I could also possess this ability that doesn’t exist in the system like Spirit Building, would I truly be able to leave my mortal body and become a “superhuman”?’
