Super Fusion

Chapter 5 Unlucky Kid

"You just wait, kid!"

Glancing at Xu Yu with eyes blazing with fury, Lü Guangchen disregarded everything else, roared, and darted into the crowd with incredible aggression.

At that moment, Xu Yu also felt the intense resentment in Lü Guangchen's eyes.

But regardless, he simply smiled faintly and walked out of the crowd while the others surrounded him.

Only after walking a considerable distance did a delicate wallet suddenly appear in Xu Yu's right hand. This wallet was the item Lü Guangchen had obtained during his first theft.

Xu Yu's confrontation with him wasn't just about saving face by stealing from a stranger; from the very beginning, he had his sights set on Lü Guangchen.

In the initial struggle, he was simply adapting quickly to this sudden ability. Once he had adapted, during the second attempt, he pecked at Lü Guangchen's hand, and his right hand slid into Lü Guangchen's pocket, pulling out the wallet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so heartlessly shouted "Thief!" when Lü Guangchen made his third attempt.

After outsmarting the thief, Xu Yu suddenly felt a strange sense of exhilaration, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart.

However, amidst this exhilaration, what troubled him most was still confusion and shock.

What exactly was that bizarre fusion ability?

He had only extracted a portion of spiritual energy from a fried dough stick, and yet this energy could even incorporate the thief's movements into his body? This was simply too exaggerated and terrifying.

Although those techniques initially showed obvious stiffness when they were first integrated into his body, after only a few exchanges, he discovered that he had almost completely mastered that ability. He even had a feeling that even if he hadn't shouted out and had instead fought the thief head-on, he could still have defeated him in this aspect.

Because what he had fused with wasn't just the thief's thieving techniques, but also countless images and fragments of such methods from movies and television.

He knew perfectly well that many scenes in movies and TV shows were technically edited and practically impossible to replicate in reality. Yet, just now, he actually felt that he could perform many of the techniques depicted in the film…

even if it was just a feeling, it was still incredibly unbelievable.

In that brief struggle, Xu Yu also felt that not only had his hands become more agile, but other aspects of his body—strength, speed, etc.—seemed to have improved as well, which shocked him even more.

“What’s going on? The effects of this spiritual energy are too exaggerated!” His eyes flashed with incredulous confusion. Finally, unable to understand it no matter how hard he tried, Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and opened the wallet to examine it.

He didn’t intend to keep the wallet; he just wanted to see what was inside. If it wasn’t important, he wouldn’t bother and would simply throw it away. But if it was important, he would return it to the owner as soon as possible.

Soon, everything inside the wallet clearly came into Xu Yu’s view:

an ID card, several bank cards, over a thousand yuan in cash, and several business cards.

Seeing this, Xu Yu gasped. This guy had probably suffered a huge loss. Aside from everything else, losing his ID card would be a real problem.

The ID card belonged to a beautiful woman surnamed Luo, born in 1987, from Linzhou.

Xu Yu quickly found her business card among several others.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and dialed the number.

When the call connected, a slightly dry voice came through, "Hello?"

"Are you Luo Xinying?" Although the voice was a little dry, it possessed a languid, alluring quality. This allure wasn't forced; it was natural, without a trace of affectation. In an instant, just that one word stirred a flutter in Xu Yu's heart, as if some kind of wicked fire was about to surge within him. Sensing this, Xu Yu was startled and quickly suppressed his inner turmoil, asking,

"Yes, it's me. Who are you?" The person on the other end seemed to pause for a moment before continuing.

"I found a wallet with your ID card and business card inside," Xu Yu chuckled, explaining his intentions.

"Ah! Where are you? Thank you so much!..." This immediately brought a surge of joy and excitement to the other end.

"I'm at the entrance of the Changyu Hotel. Where are you?" Xu Yu glanced behind him and gave his location.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you so much..." The other end remained full of excitement and gratitude.

Xu Yu wasn't surprised. He simply smiled and chatted with the other person on the phone for a few more minutes before waiting quietly.

Unbeknownst to Xu Yu, dozens of meters away, two sinister gazes were subtly looming around him, their venomous intent practically threatening to tear him apart.

"Good heavens, after tricking me, you still dare to show your face so openly around here?" At the bus stop in front of the hotel, an ordinary-looking man muttered angrily before pulling out his phone.

This figure was none other than Lü Guangchen, who had just barely escaped.

The recent humiliation had filled him with rage, and he was determined not to let Xu Yu off easily, as that guy was simply too hateful.

So, after his hasty escape, he focused entirely on searching for the man's whereabouts. Of course, he wouldn't have found him so quickly on his own, but having been in Ningcheng for so long, he was far from alone. And he remembered the guy's appearance perfectly, so he quickly located him.

After all, Xu Yu's location was quite conspicuous.

Taking out his phone, Lü Guangchen gave Xu Yu's direction another vicious glare before forcing a smile, "Hey, Brother Li, it's me, Guangchen. Hehe, I have a little something to ask you..."

After finishing the call with a smile, Lü Guangchen put away his phone and looked ahead with a strange expression. This time, he was determined to leave that guy with an unforgettable memory.

While they were waiting, two men in police uniforms quickly arrived at Lü Guangchen's location. One of them, a tall but rather menacing-looking young man, grinned broadly and slapped Lü Guangchen hard on the shoulder. "Hey Lü, where's that guy? You actually got taken advantage of like this? Haha..."

"Tsk tsk, yeah, aren't you known as Ningcheng's fastest hand?" The other policeman also chuckled, looking at Lü Guangchen.

This guy was a pickpocket, yet he called the police to arrest another thief? Quite strange.

However, this kid had usually given them quite a few favors, so this was nothing.

"Hehe, Brother Li, Brother Yang, you don't know, that guy is too cunning, I had no choice." Despite being slapped, Lü Guangchen didn't seem to care at all, immediately offering a fawning explanation. Then, he pointed to Xu Yu's location and said, "That's the guy. I'll definitely thank Brother Li and Brother Yang properly after this."

"Hmm." The two policemen nodded with light smiles upon hearing this. After glancing at Xu Yu, they each patted Lü Guangchen on the shoulder with a smile before walking forward.

Seeing this, Lü Guangchen finally smiled broadly. He was confident that the guy would receive the best treatment once inside!

Only then did he have a thought, suddenly remembering the wallet he had taken earlier.

"Hey, it's time to contact that guy and see what's inside." With a light laugh, Lü Guangchen reached into his pocket, but to his surprise, his expression immediately changed drastically. Gone?

He froze for a moment, first glancing sharply at Xu Yu dozens of meters away, then shaking his head violently. It couldn't be him. That guy was indeed skilled, but he couldn't have been capable of taking his things while fighting him. He simply couldn't believe someone was that much stronger than him.

If it wasn't the other guy, it could only mean that he had accidentally lost it during his escape. After all, it was too chaotic, and he was too nervous.

Thinking of all this, Lü Guangchen flew into a rage again, wishing he could tear Xu Yu apart. But then, he immediately turned and headed back the way he came.

After all, he wasn't searching for a target randomly; if he could find one, he'd try his best. He remembered how he'd chosen secluded places to escape. If he was lucky, there was still a chance.

However, in the moment before leaving, Lü Guangchen's gaze towards Xu Yu was filled with extreme hatred. He made up his mind once more: if he could find the wallet, great; if not, he would make sure everything was blamed on that unfortunate child!
