Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

「That day, at 11:00 AM.」

Lu Chao changed into a standard-issue, dark-blue Superpower Bureau uniform and walked out of his apartment.

He glanced at the closed elevator doors, where his reflection stared back at him.

His trapezius muscles, deltoids, and thick arms formed a powerful V-taper that strained the fabric of his uniform top. The loose-fitting trousers pulled taut, faintly outlining the packed muscles of his thighs and giving his silhouette a savage edge.

DING!

The elevator arrived at the ground floor.

Wearing black leather shoes, he strode through the ground-floor lobby and headed for the Superpower Bureau building just across the street.

’Now that I’ve broken through to the Superpower Level, I should obviously go see my team leader, Yao Jin.’

’Greater authority for self-defense, better access to resources... These are the things I need most right now.’

’As for whether breaking through to the Superpower Level this quickly would attract too much attention... ’

A glint appeared in Lu Chao’s eyes as he recalled the information he’d read on his watch, as well as things he’d heard from Master Luo and the others.

’A metamorphosis of life and a powerful will. Those are the two most important prerequisites for breaking through to the Superpower Level.’

’It’s difficult, but not impossible to achieve in one go.’

’Take Mr. Ji, for example. He reached the Superpower Level ten years ago, and he was even younger than I am now when he broke through.’

’Then there are the prodigies trained by the Superpower Bureau headquarters for years, and the super-elites cultivated by the Five Major Enterprises since childhood... They can all take this step faster than ordinary people and overcome the hurdle.’

’The reason isn’t just that they control most of the resources, either.’

’The crucial point is that these major powers were the first to make contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. They might possess some form of advanced Superpower Knowledge from those civilizations, or perhaps high-level legacies left behind by cosmic heroes like Robert.’

’This isn’t exactly a secret in Superpower Level circles. Otherwise, Master Luo and Master Ge wouldn’t have warned me about it so many times.’

’You can see hints of this in my own superior, Yao Jin. She’s from Yao Capital, and rumor has it she came from the main Bureau headquarters.’

’She’s only twenty-four or twenty-five, but she has already developed her Life Energy to nearly 160 points, reaching the Peak of Limit-Breaking.’

’Working backward from that, she couldn’t have been much older than I am now when she broke through to the Superpower Level.’

As the thought passed, Lu Chao felt certain. His breakthrough to the Superpower Level was eye-catching, a sign of incredible talent that would shock many, but it was by no means unprecedented.

And for that reason, he didn’t have to worry about his secrets being exposed.

CLACK! CLACK!

With a few quick strides, he left the apartment building and stepped onto the curb.

The Superpower Bureau building was only a few dozen meters away.

However, something made him pause, and he glanced toward the side of the street.

He wasn’t surprised to find the Biotechnology Company’s people hidden in the shadows, still tailing him.

However, two Red Maple Patrol Team vehicles were parked to the side, looking as if they had been waiting for some time.

He faintly sensed a trace of malice again. Then, figures emerged from the vehicles and began to approach him.

...

"The Fifth Squad is really something else. They actually managed to pull off that mission with Ma Kui."

"No kidding. They might even take first place in this month’s evaluation."

"Tsk, tsk. Looks like Captain Lu is the real deal. You could even say he avenged Captain Zheng..."

On the third-floor training grounds of the Superpower Bureau, several figures finished their practice and stepped out of a gravity chamber.

Several team members were whispering about the recent incident in a corner of the training area, their voices carrying over.

The group paused as they overheard the conversation.

Hearing this, Xu Wei’s expression tensed, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

’We’re both from small-city backgrounds, yet he was able to kill Ma Kui... That says everything about his combat strength.’

’No wonder he never considered joining the cliques from East Port or Yao Capital.’

’A pity he offended the Tan family, though.’

Recalling those rumors, she shook her head. For some reason, the thought made her feel a little better.

The members of the East Port clique at the center of the group had mixed expressions; most looked impassive and nodded in agreement, but one or two curled their lips in displeasure.

"The Patrol Team has been pulling a lot of stunts lately, deliberately getting in our way. If I’m not mistaken, it’s definitely because of the Tan family."

"Tell me about it. I was about to wrap up my mission when something went wrong. Turns out, several of the people involved were minor shareholders in the Jinggang Chamber of Commerce."

"Sigh... I mean, why did he have to go and make an enemy of the Tan family? The local factions already have it out for us and are always looking for trouble. And now... he’s dragged all of us into it."

The group grumbled, clearly annoyed by his reckless and impulsive behavior.

This was a common sentiment among them.

The Fourth Division’s missions were mostly in Satellite City No. 4, where the Jinggang Chamber of Commerce’s influence was deeply entrenched, with countless people under its sway.

They wouldn’t dare confront the Superpower Bureau head-on, but it was easy enough for them to cause trouble behind the scenes, complicating missions for many squads and forcing them to waste more time.

"Alright, let’s drop it. He acts so impulsively; he’ll learn his lesson the hard way eventually."

"Speaking of which, what about Brother Jiang? He’s been in seclusion for several days. I heard he’s attempting his life-form metamorphosis. He might just break through to the Superpower Level soon."

another young man spoke up, changing the subject.

At this, the others’ faces filled with envy and admiration. Xu Wei’s mind, in particular, began to race, wondering what kind of congratulatory gift she should prepare to get closer to him should he succeed.

’Now *that’s* a true genius.’

’Not only is he exceptionally talented and from a powerful background, but he’s also prudent and considerate. If I could become close friends with him, then... ’
