PNB Chapter 23 The Man Among Men
Chapter 23 The Man Among Men
When Lin Jue said these words and stood in front of the car door at high speed.
Everyone on the bus looked at him with utter astonishment.
What's going on? Judging from this guy's expression... he's really planning to stop this speeding bus?
Seeing that Lin Jue wasn't joking, Duan Hong quickly leaned over, grabbed the armrest, and asked:
"Lin...Lin Jue, what kind of superpower have you awakened? Can you tell us so we have some idea?"
Duan Hong had almost thought that the young student was just bluffing.
But judging from the fact that he just kicked the car door open, things seem to have taken a turn for the better.
Facing the eager gazes of everyone, Lin Jue forcefully broke off an iron handrail, weighed it in his hand, and then casually replied:
"Of course it's an enhancement-type ability... Teacher Duan, please step back a bit, it might be dangerous in a moment."
Enhancement-type superpower! Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Duan Hong's eyes.
Among the five major superpower systems: "Enhancement," "Manipulation," "Mental," "Conjuration," and "Rule."
While enhanced superhumans have the lowest potential, they also have the highest potential, and their average level is quite stable.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; enhancement systems basically focus on physical abilities.
They are either incredibly strong, incredibly fast, or have bodies as hard as iron.
In short, anything that enhances physical abilities will be of some use, no matter how much.
While the other four types of superpower systems may have an immeasurably high upper limit, their lower limit can also be shockingly low.
For example, Duan Hong had a nephew who awakened his superpowers at the age of twelve, and the whole family was overjoyed.
When he was sent for examination, it was discovered that this guy was indeed a manipulation-type superhuman, but his ability was simply to control snot.
Because this ability was so unusual, Duan Hong's nephew eventually had to switch careers to study otolaryngology, specializing in cleaning surgical fields during nasal surgeries.
Therefore, if the upper and lower limits of the other four systems are 1 to 100 points.
Therefore, the upper and lower limits of enhancement-type abilities are 40 to 80 points. The upper limit is not high, but the lower limit is guaranteed.
So, after Teacher Duan Hong excitedly stepped back a few steps, Lin Jue began his performance.
Instead of immediately stopping the train, he took off his shirt and began to do some simple warm-up exercises with slow but powerful movements.
As Lin Jue took off his shirt, sunlight streamed in through the broken car door, falling on him as if he were standing under a stage spotlight.
After removing the shirt, what is exposed to the air is a body sculpted by time and sweat, radiating a diamond-like brilliance.
It lacks the completely unnatural, wild bulges of a professional bodybuilder.
But every muscle line is clearly visible, and you can tell at a glance that it contains explosive power.
Upon seeing the upper body, which exudes the beauty of ancient Greek sculpture, the air in the entire carriage suddenly felt heavy.
Both men and women couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes fixed on Lin Jue.
The boys were alright; their eyes only revealed pure admiration and envy.
The girls were almost completely captivated, with a few of the bolder ones already licking their lips, their eyes practically devouring Lin Juesheng.
It is said that a graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affection, but this saying also applies to women.
After all, we are all human beings, and as long as we are human beings, we will have various physiological needs, which is normal.
But Lin Jue completely ignored the intense gazes coming from the back of the carriage.
His hands, which seemed capable of crushing rocks, slowly gripped the edge of the car door.
Amidst the gasps of the crowd behind him, he leaped out of the bus and landed hanging on the outside!
At this moment, the fully loaded bus was like a runaway beast, speeding wildly down the highway, its tail swishing.
Because of the high speed, the scenery outside the car window had been distorted into streaks of gray-white light.
Outside the carriage, the wind made Lin Jue's clothes rustle, but there was no trace of panic or unease on his angular face.
However, even with Lin Jue's current strength attribute of 157, stopping this car by brute force would be no easy task.
Fortunately, he wasn't just strong; his brain was also an important weapon for Lin Jue's survival.
After hanging himself outside the carriage, Lin Jue did not hesitate to lift the broken iron handrail and plunge it into the right tire!
Whoosh! Instantly, the tire punctured by the sharp object deflated completely! And it began to shake violently at high speed!
Lin Jue seized the opportunity to stomp both feet on the ground simultaneously, trying to stabilize the vehicle while attempting to forcibly stop it.
The moment he regained his footing, a burst of sparks erupted from the point of contact between his shoe sole and the highway surface!
A loud, screeching sound, like rubbing a blackboard, came from the asphalt road!
[Host attribute change detected, Strength +1]
That's about it... hiss... whoosh!
As Lin Jue found his balance, he took a deep breath and began to exert tremendous force throughout his body!
At this point, the sparks that erupted when the soles of the feet rubbed against the road surface were no longer just sparks, but a series of bursts of fire!
100......90......80! Under the driver's astonished gaze with his mouth agape, the speedometer on the bus finally began to decrease!
However, the car body, having lost one tire and being pulled by a tremendous force, began to sway violently!
Even though the students in the carriage had all fastened their seat belts.
But they were still terrified by the violent shaking, which was even more exaggerated than that of a pirate ship, and screamed incessantly.
However, Lin Jue completely ignored the commotion inside.
His knees were slightly bent, bracing himself firmly against the outside of the carriage.
Like two old trees deeply embedded in the earth, they are surprisingly stable.
[Host attribute change detected, Constitution +1]
80......70......60! Under the watchful eyes of the driver and Duan Hong, the bus slowed down more and more.
Clearly, the enormous inertia and momentum were being gradually neutralized by Lin Jue's body!
After an unknown amount of time, the wheels finally stopped spinning wildly, and the vehicle gradually stabilized.
It was as if the rampaging prehistoric beast had finally been tamed by a strongman, and had lowered its proud head.
As the bus came to a complete stop, all sound vanished at that moment.
The roar of the engine, the screeching of the tires, the shouts from inside the carriage... all sounds fell silent, as if this frenzied symphony had finally come to a close.
Only then did Lin Jue breathe a sigh of relief and look down at the soles of his feet.
After his struggle with the ground and the vehicle, his shoes and socks were already worn to shreds.
Even the dark soles of his feet were now covered in blood, and his skin felt intensely stinging, as if it had been burned by fire.
However, Lin Jue did not take the pain to heart. He turned around and walked back to the carriage barefoot.
The black blood seeping from the soles of their feet left shallow footprints on the carriage floor.
Suddenly, no one in the carriage spoke, but countless eyes remained fixed on the man.
Although these gazes contained a mixture of complex emotions, they were mostly filled with respect.
Only now do the students in the train carriage understand what a real man is.
There are many extraordinary individuals in the world with special abilities, but very few dare to jump out of the car and use their own flesh and blood to stop it.
After all, this kind of action is extremely dangerous; if done wrong, it could result in being smashed to pieces.
However, just as the students and teachers in the carriage were looking at him with admiration.
Lin Jue scratched the back of his head, puzzled, and asked somewhat speechlessly:
"What are you looking at? Get off the bus now! Do you expect me to carry you all off one by one?"
