Xi Nian was somewhat stunned.
The person who appeared was none other than Kara Danvers, the junior student one year his junior.
However.
Kara Danvers was wearing a Supergirl battle suit identical to Superman's; the dark blue top clung to her well-developed teenage body, with a prominent 'S' family crest on her high chest.
Below that was a vibrant red knee-length battle skirt, her beautiful teenage legs encased in shiny black stockings, and her feet were clad in dark red battle boots.
"Senior Xi Nian, how do I look like this?" Supergirl blinked playfully, her beautiful face more gentle and confident than usual.
Her dark golden hair behind her was unrestrained, each strand appearing to be plated with platinum light in the sun, fluttering freely yet not messily in the strong wind.
Like a unique young goddess.
"Beautiful," Xi Nian praised sincerely, then, as if realizing something, said, "You are... Kryptonian?"
"Yes," Kara Danvers nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Superman is actually my cousin. He and I are the only two Kryptonians left in the Universe."
"You are Superman's... cousin?" Xi Nian felt this relationship somewhat refreshed his understanding, but he quickly realized it wasn't the time to discuss such things.
Xi Nian looked down at the Guardian Silver Bracelet, which was shimmering with golden light, then looked up at Supergirl and said gravely, "Right now, a battle should be happening in Metropolis. Do you know about it?"
"Of course. I am going to join the battle right now. You were right before, since Karl is no longer here, I should become Supergirl!" Kara Danvers responded firmly.
Xi Nian didn't know what to say. He had only been thinking of comforting her at the time, not knowing that she was truly a Kryptonian.
Supergirl continued, "I left home and passed over the school, then I found you and Senior Gwen at the stairwell, a bit bold..."
"That's because of my abilities." Xi Nian waved his hand awkwardly, then said solemnly and seriously, "Please take me with you. My aunt is there, and I also want to join the battle!"
He had expected Kara to refuse or hesitate.
Unexpectedly, Supergirl Kara Danvers readily agreed: "Alright!"
Xi Nian was slightly taken aback.
"But before that, you'll need this, right?" Supergirl smiled slightly. Her feet suddenly floated off the ground, and she flew closer to Xi Nian, her soft lips lightly touching his.
It was a somewhat green, fleeting, but surprisingly proactive kiss.
"I haven't given up yet, I'm just starting to fight!" With her platinum hair and red cape fluttering, Supergirl Kara Danvers announced softly and confidently, as if declaring her presence.
Xi Nian could no longer hear her words.
As the girl's soft touch lingered on his lips, his body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, exploding from the inside out!
A gene far more dominant than any mutation, variation, or even Greek demigod he had experienced before, almost instantly took over his body.
Normally, if Xi Nian possessed two abilities simultaneously,
they would typically amplify, stack, and strengthen each other, evolving into another combined ability state.
But now.
With Xi Nian already possessing Spider abilities, a far more domineering ability directly replaced it, becoming the dominant core of his current physical abilities. The Spider abilities seemed to step aside, willingly becoming an auxiliary ability to help his body master this overly potent and powerful ability.
This was the power of a Kryptonian.
The most exceptional physique on Earth, and even the entire Universe!
Superman Mode.
The first feeling Xi Nian had upon gaining Kryptonian abilities was that he was almost omnipotent—
Yes.
He could see the entire Washington city scene at a glance, penetrate the bodies, lungs, and skeletons of pedestrians on the streets below, hear the engines of planes flying across the sky at the city's edge, and detect ants crawling on a nearby rooftop.
He could clearly perceive urban areas several kilometers away.
Xi Nian knew omnipotence was false, but he now felt that even if God himself arrived, he could firmly pin him to the ground and rub him in.
Normally, with an extraordinary physique like a Kryptonian's, Xi Nian would undoubtedly lose control and go berserk upon first acquiring it.
But he still possessed Spider abilities.
The Spider Physique ability, acting as an auxiliary skill, now formed countless invisible spider silks within his body, helping Xi Nian control the Kryptonian power within him!
"It's actually possible to achieve this, even the physical abilities of our Kryptonian race can be obtained in this way?" Supergirl Kara Danvers' eyes sparkled. At this moment, her first thought was:
This way, the Kryptonian race can grow its population on Earth, can't it?
...Unaware of what Supergirl Kara was thinking, Xi Nian tried to move his upper limbs. As a result, his shirt instantly tore, revealing his robust upper body, as if cast from steel.
"Senior Xi Nian, try this." Supergirl said, reaching out and taking Xi Nian's hand.
Xi Nian could clearly feel a powerful yet gentle invisible force, like glue, spreading over him.
Xi Nian understood. He reciprocated, holding her soft hand, and a similar energy emanated from his own body, intertwining with the dense energy surrounding Supergirl to form a single entity.
"This is a bio-field," Supergirl explained. "It's equivalent to our strength, and also a form of energy. If used properly, we can shatter an entire building with one punch, or simply punch a human-sized hole through it. We can make our bodies as hard as steel, or as soft as ordinary people."
"I understand. Let's go to the battlefield now." Xi Nian exhaled, and a chilling gust of wind inexplicably appeared in front of him.
"Then—let's fly." Supergirl Kara smiled, her feet once again leaving the ground, floating steadily half a meter above the rooftop.
"How can I fly?" Xi Nian asked curiously.
"As long as you believe you can fly, then you can fly," Supergirl said with a smile.
Just as dolphins are born to swim in the sea, and horses are born to walk on land.
For Kryptonians on Earth, flight is an ability ingrained in their bloodline.
"Fantasy? I'm very good at that," Xi Nian murmured. Then, in the next instant, his body floated slightly like a balloon.
"Let's go!" Supergirl said, pulling his hand.
"Okay, let's go." Xi Nian took a deep breath, and his mind stirred.
As the surrounding air exploded, the two soared like two Rockets, breaking the sound barrier at a thousand meters above the city, flying rapidly towards the city of Metropolis!
