Chapter 1: Joyful Union Sect Master Becomes Gwen's Neighbor at the Start
New York, Queens.
In the bedroom of an ordinary apartment, Lin Tiansuddenly opened his eyes.
His consciousness felt forcibly dragged back from an endless chaos; before him was an unfamiliar ceiling, a faint scent of dust lingered in his nostrils, and the sound of car horns drifted in from outside the window.
"This is..." Lin Tian rubbed his somewhat throbbing temples as a flood of complex memory fragments surged into his mind.
He, Lin Tian, was once the last Sect Master of the renowned Joyful Union Sect in the cultivation World.
Relying on the sect's supreme secret manual, the Yin Yang Harmony Manual, he had reached the Transcendent Realm at a young age, his cultivation unfathomable. Furthermore, his exceedingly handsome appearance and naturally alluring aura attracted countless immortal maidens and saintesses.
However, just as he was attempting to break through the final bottleneck and prepare to shatter the void, he encountered an unprecedented spatial storm. When he awoke again, he was already in this strange World.
"Earth? U.S.? New York City?" Lin Tian assimilated the additional memories of this body's original owner.
The original owner was also named Lin Tian, an ordinary Chinese-American youth who had just moved here. His parents had passed away early, and he barely scraped by on a meager inheritance, with a somewhat reclusive personality.
And next door to him lived a blonde girl named Gwen Stacy.
"Gwen Stacy..." Lin Tian's lips curved into a playful smile. This name, in the memory fragments that flooded him, seemed to be related to some kind of... spider?
However, none of that mattered.
What mattered was that he, Lin Tian, was still alive, and the Yin Yang Harmony Manual's cultivation method was not lost. Although the wisp of pure Harmony True Qi in his Dantian was weak, it was still there!
"Since I'm here, I'll make myself at home." Lin Tian sat cross-legged, his eyes regaining the calm and indifference of his former status as Sect Master. "Although the spiritual energy in this World is sparse, it's also quite interesting. The most urgent task is to restore my strength."
He formed hand seals and began to circulate the Yin Yang Harmony Manual.
This cultivation method was not as vulgar as commonly understood; its core lay in harmonizing Yin and Yang, drawing spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth to replenish oneself, and also through the union of Yin and Yang, both parties could benefit and advance together.
As the cultivation method circulated, Lin Tian began to emit an invisible, intangible, yet exceptionally alluring aura.
This aura was like the finest aged wine, the most fragrant flower nectar, carrying an attraction that originated from the very essence of life, silently spreading and penetrating the wall... next door.
Gwen Stacy was pacing her room, feeling a bit agitated.
Band practice hadn't gone well, academic pressure was high, and her father had been constantly nagging about her safety recently.
"Ugh, this is so annoying!" She ruffled her smooth blonde hair, like a ruffled kitten.
Just then, a peculiar, faint fragrance wafted over.
The scent was subtle, yet it seemed to possess magic, instantly soothing her inner agitation and making her feel warm all over, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Even stranger, with this scent, an inexplicable longing arose in her heart, an impulse to get closer to the source of the fragrance.
"Hmm? What's that smell?" Gwen curiously sniffed, her gaze involuntarily drawn to the wall adjacent to the next-door apartment.
Is it the new neighbor? That somewhat mysterious Oriental boy?
How could he... have such a pleasant scent about him?
This scent made her cheeks flush slightly, her heart inexplicably quickened, a feeling she'd never experienced before, gently plucking at her heartstrings like a feather.
As if by a ghost's hand, Gwen put down what she was holding, moved her feet lightly, slowly walked to the wall, and even couldn't help but reach out, gently touching the cold wall, as if that would bring her closer to that alluring aura.
She didn't know that an encounter that would change her entire life had quietly begun... New book released, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, and everything!
Chapter 2: Naturally Alluring, Gwen Throws Herself into His Arms
Lin Tian was immersed in his cultivation, fully aware of everything happening outside.
The spiritual sense inherent in the Yin Yang Harmony Manual allowed him to clearly "see" every move of the girl next door.
Feeling Gwen being drawn by his aura, even walking to the wall, Lin Tian's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.
As expected of the Joyful Union Sect's supreme secret manual, even a trace of its diffused aura held an irresistible allure for an innocent maiden.
However, he did not immediately stop cultivating.
Firstly, restoring his strength was the top priority;
Secondly, he also wanted to see how resistant people in this World were to this kind of attraction originating from the essence of life.
Time passed by minute by minute.
On the other side of the wall, Gwen's breathing gradually became a little hurried, and her fair cheeks were flushed with an alluring crimson.
The peculiar fragrance grew increasingly intense, as if transforming into invisible tentacles, gently entwining around her, stirring the deepest desires within her heart.
Reason told her this was strange and she should leave.
But her body completely disobeyed, instead yearning even more to get closer to the source of the fragrance.
She could even vaguely feel that on the other side of the wall, there seemed to be a huge vortex, emitting a fatal attraction, making her want to throw herself into it regardless of everything.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Finally, instinct triumphed over reason.
Gwen heard her own heart pounding wildly, and... a knock at the door?
Wait, was she knocking on the door?
She knocked on the neighbor's door!
Lin Tian slowly ceased his cultivation, drawing that wisp of pure True Qi into his Dantian.
The alluring aura emanating from his body also largely receded, leaving only a faint, lingering scent, like the fragrance of orchids in a valley after rain, even more captivating.
He got up and opened the door.
Outside the door stood a tall, blonde, blue-eyed beautiful girl.
It was Gwen Stacy.
At this moment, her eyes were a little hazy, her cheeks flushed, her chest rising and falling slightly, and her emerald green eyes seemed veiled with a mist of Water, staring directly at Lin Tian.
"Hi..." Gwen's voice was a little airy, carrying a hint of coyness she didn't even realize, "I... I think I smell something... a very fragrant smell..."
Lin Tian looked at the girl before him.
He had to admit, the beauties of this World also had a unique charm.
Blonde hair, fair skin, delicate features, especially those long legs, shapely and straight, full of youthful vitality.
"Is that so?" Lin Tian smiled slightly. This smile, like a spring breeze, carried a heart-stirring charm. "Perhaps I just lit some Oriental incense."
His voice was warm and pleasant, like the clinking of jade, and when it reached Gwen's ears, her body trembled slightly, feeling that longing intensify.
Especially at close range, the faint, almost body-like scent emanating from Lin Tian made her head spin, and she just wanted to... get closer to him.
"Can I... can I come in and sit?" Gwen blurted out almost unconsciously, only realizing what she had said afterward, her cheeks instantly turning crimson as if about to drip blood.
Oh my God! Gwen Stacy! What are you doing?!
A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Tian's eyes as he stepped aside: "Of course, please come in."
Gwen almost stumbled in, her legs moving in an uncoordinated manner.
The room was small and simply furnished, but very tidy.
However, upon entering this space, the alluring aura that had unsettled her seemed to grow even more intense.
Gwen felt her body getting hotter and hotter, her breathing becoming more difficult. Looking at Lin Tian's impossibly handsome face and his deep, seemingly soul-absorbing eyes, she completely lost the ability to think.
"You..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat dry.
Lin Tian simply watched her quietly, his gaze calm, yet carrying an understanding that saw through everything.
He knew that the Joyful Union Sect's cultivation method's attraction to the opposite sex was etched at a soul level, especially with his intentional or unintentional guidance.
Gwen's body swayed slightly, her eyes completely unfocused, leaving only the most primitive instinct.
She walked towards Lin Tian step by step, as if pulled by invisible strings.
Finally, she stopped in front of Lin Tian.
Then, under Lin Tian's gaze, the girl stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her soft, fragrant body tightly against him.
Warm, soft jade, actively embracing him.
Lin Tian felt the girl's innocence and trembling in his arms, as well as the pure Yin energy of an untouched maiden, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
The Yin Yang Harmony Manual... seemed to have found its optimal cauldron.
He reached out and gently wrapped his arm around the girl's slender waist.
Inside the room, the temperature suddenly rose.
An ambiguous fragrance filled the air, and the girl's gasps were like broken Qin notes, intermittent whimpers laced with tears.
Lin Tian felt the pure Yin essence surge into his body, merging with and strengthening his Harmony True Qi. Simultaneously, he fed a portion of pure energy back to the girl in his arms, nourishing her body and awakening her hidden, unknown powers.
Gwen felt as if she was floating on clouds, yet also drowning in the deep sea. An unprecedented, extreme pleasure assaulted her nerves, making her whole body tremble, her consciousness blurred.
Chapter 3: Spider Mutation, Craving More
When the first ray of morning Sun shone through the curtain gap, Gwen slowly awoke.
There was no hangover-like headache; instead, she felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment.
Her body felt as light as if it had no weight, full of energy as if she could run a marathon, and her thoughts became exceptionally clear and sharp.
She blinked, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling with a hint of bewilderment.
Then... last night's memories surged like a breaking dam!
Breaking into her neighbor's home, that ultimately alluring aura, her uncontrollable initiative, and... that never-before-experienced, extreme pleasure that almost melted her soul...
"Ah!" Gwen cried out softly, suddenly sitting up, instinctively clutching the thin blanket to cover her naked body.
Her cheeks instantly turned as red as a cooked shrimp, and shame almost drowned her.
Oh my God! What had she done?!
She had actually... with a neighbor she had just met... and she was the one who initiated it!
However, besides shame, a stranger feeling also followed.
She moved her body; there was no expected soreness or discomfort. Instead, her limbs and bones were filled with explosive power!
She subconsciously clenched her fist, even hearing a faint crisp sound from her knuckles, and an unprecedented sense of control arose.
"What... what's going on?" Gwen was a little bewildered.
She looked down at her palms; her skin seemed even more delicate and fair, but beneath the surface, astonishing power seemed to lie hidden.
Last night's scene flashed through her mind again—not just the blush-inducing intimacy, but also that... peculiar feeling of energy exchange.
At the moment she reached the peak, her consciousness blurred, she seemed to feel a warm and powerful energy surge from Lin Tian's body into hers, cleansing her limbs and bones, bringing indescribable comfort and... transformation?
Could it be... Gwen's heart pounded uncontrollably.
Was it because of him... because of their intimacy, that her body had changed?
Chapter 2
This thought exploded in her mind like a thunderclap—absurd, yet seemingly the only explanation!
Just then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
Lin Tian walked in, holding a glass of warm water.
He had already changed into clean casual clothes, his short black hair slightly damp, clearly having just washed up.
The morning light outlined his perfect profile, and his deep eyes looked over calmly, carrying a hint of knowing everything, as if he had already known she was awake and the tumultuous waves in her heart.
"Awake? Drink some Water." Lin Tian handed the Water glass to her, his voice gentle, without any unusual emotion.
Gwen looked at the handsome face so close to her; the intoxicating scent from last night seemed to linger at her nostrils again, making her recently calmed heartbeat accelerate once more, and her body involuntarily felt slightly hot.
She frantically took the Water glass, her fingertips accidentally touching Lin Tian's fingers, and she recoiled as if shocked by electricity.
"Tha... thank you..." Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Lin Tian looked at her embarrassed and slightly uncertain expression, a faint smile playing on his lips: "How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable with your body?"
These seemingly caring words, to Gwen's ears, seemed to carry a different kind of implication.
"No... no!" Gwen quickly shook her head, subconsciously wanting to deny the strangeness of her body, "I... I'm fine!"
To prove she was okay, she threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed to put on clothes, but in her haste, her foot accidentally slipped!
"Ah!" Gwen exclaimed, about to fall.
At this critical moment, her body reacted in an incredible way!
Her waist twisted sharply at an unbelievable angle, her toes lightly tapped the ground, and her entire being, like a weightless feather, gracefully stabilized itself!
And... where her toes tapped, the floor seemed to let out a faint, abnormal groan?
Gwen herself was stunned!
Is this... my body?!
She could clearly feel the coordination and strength that erupted from her muscles in that instant, as well as the balance and reaction speed far beyond ordinary people!
Lin Tian stood aside, taking everything in, a knowing smile flashing in his eyes.
Indeed, the nourishing effect of the Yin Yang Harmony Manual was surprisingly good on ordinary people in this World.
It not only strengthened her foundation but even directly stimulated some kind of... special gene hidden within her body?
Gwen froze in place, looking down at her hands and feet, then suddenly looked up at Lin Tian, her eyes filled with shock, confusion, and a hint of... unspeakable desire.
Undoubtedly, all these changes were related to the mysterious man in front of her!
And to that... ultimate pleasure with him!
That feeling... that feeling that made her feel ecstatic, that caused strange changes in her body... tasting the marrow and knowing the flavor!
This phrase uncontrollably popped into Gwen's mind.
Shame still existed, but a stronger desire for that ultimate experience and power enhancement began to grow wildly in her heart like a vine.
She looked at Lin Tian as if looking at a huge treasure, a source that could make her continuously stronger and continuously experience that supreme pleasure.
"I... I should go." Gwen frantically grabbed the clothes scattered on the floor, not daring to look into Lin Tian's eyes, quickly dressed, and almost fled out of Lin Tian's apartment.
It wasn't until she ran back to her own room, closed the door, and leaned against the cold door panel that she gasped for breath, her heart still pounding rapidly.
Everything from last night, the changes in her body, Lin Tian's mysterious gaze... everything felt like a dream.
But the slightly tingling sensation of power from her fingertips, and the lingering, thrilling aftertaste deep within her body, clearly told her—
All of this was real.
And... she still wanted it!
Gwen, her face flushed, gently bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with struggle and... a hint of uncontrollable anticipation.
She involuntarily looked in the direction of next door; that man was like a vortex, emitting a fatal attraction.
And she seemed to be... deeply caught in it.
Chapter 4: Falling Again, Power Soars
Life seemed to return to calm, but only Gwen herself knew that her heart had already stirred up monstrous waves.
During the day, she was the ordinary high school girl who studied hard, played in a band, and occasionally bickered with her father.
But whenever night fell or she was alone, the soul-stirring experience from last night, and the unfamiliar power surging within her body, whispered like a devil, constantly tempting her.
She tried to ignore it.
She forced herself to go to the gym, trying to explain the changes in her body with normal exercise. However, when she effortlessly lifted weights far beyond her limit, when she ran on the treadmill at speeds and with endurance far exceeding ordinary people, the "gift" from Lin Tian became clearer and more enticing.
Power! Unprecedented power!
And that... ultimate pleasure!
The two feelings intertwined, like the strongest poison, making her unable to stop.
After just one day, Gwen found herself unable to endure it anymore.
The power in her body seemed to crave replenishment, and deep in her soul, there was still a tremor for that ultimate experience.
She found herself involuntarily looking at the window next door, and pricking up her ears to catch any subtle sounds coming from next door.
Lin Tian was like a magnet, and she was the iron filing firmly attracted to him.
After struggling for an entire day, when night fell again, and when her father, Director George Stacy, was once again late returning home from work, Gwen Stacy, the usually proud and slightly fastidious blonde girl, once again, inexplicably stood before Lin Tian's door.
This time, she hadn't even thought of any excuse.
"Knock knock knock."
The knock sounded, with a hint of undetectable trembling and... urgency.
The door opened quickly.
Lin Tian still looked calm and composed, as if he had long expected her to come.
He wore comfortable loungewear, and his black eyes, in the dim light of the hallway, appeared especially deep, as if able to see through all her disguises and struggles.
"Is something wrong, Gwen?" He asked knowingly, his voice carrying a hint of lazy magnetism.
Gwen's cheeks instantly flushed. She opened her mouth, but found that any excuse seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
In the end, she just lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "I... I... can I come in and sit again?"
Lin Tian smiled slightly and stepped aside.
Stepping into this room for the second time, the familiar yet fatally alluring scent enveloped Gwen again.
This time, she no longer had the panic and bewilderment of the first time; instead, there was a hint of... urgent craving.
She could even feel every cell in her body cheering, anticipating the "sweet dew" that was about to arrive.
Lin Tian closed the door without any unnecessary words.
He walked in front of Gwen, reached out, and gently hooked her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes.
In those eyes, there seemed to be a sea of stars, carrying a magic that could see through the soul.
"Want?" he asked softly, his voice laced with temptation.
Gwen's body trembled slightly, her cheeks so red they could bleed, but deep in her eyes, an uncontainable flame ignited.
She didn't answer, but her reaction already said it all.
She once again actively offered herself up.
This time, Lin Tian didn't hesitate at all.
If the first time was a tender blossoming and an unexpected surprise, then the second time was a deep indulgence of tasting the marrow and the fusion of power.
Warm and pure energy, like a trickling stream, continuously flowed into her limbs and bones.
Wherever this energy passed, her muscles, bones, and even nerves were being strengthened and transformed at an incredible speed.
She could even "hear" the cheering of her cells!
Lin Tian, meanwhile, calmly felt the purer and more abundant pure Yin power feedback from Gwen's body.
This power perfectly merged with his Harmony True Qi, steadily advancing his cultivation.
He could feel that Gwen's body was like an uncarved jade; each "dual cultivation" could unleash more potential.
Her vision was once again filled with an intense White light, her mind a blank.
She could clearly feel that the power in her body was several times stronger than before!
She even had a misconception, as if she could punch through a wall if she wanted to!
And... there seemed to be some other changes... Her fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on the bedsheet beneath her, and a strange adhesive sensation came from her fingertips, as if... they could firmly stick to it?
Gwen suddenly opened her eyes, looked at her fingertips, then looked at Lin Tian, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Lin Tian just gave her a meaningful smile, reached out, and gently stroked her sweat-damp hair: "Feel it?"
Gwen didn't speak, but instinctively pressed her body even closer to the man who gave her power and pleasure.
Let me fall, then... New book released, please collect, please give flowers, please evaluate, please give everything!
Free flowers, evaluation, monthly votes, comments, likes, I beg for as many as possible!

Chapter 5: First Glimmer, Street Horror
Ever since the second "dual cultivation," Gwen felt her World had completely changed.
Strength, speed, endurance, reaction ability... all had received terrifying, visible improvements.
Walking on the street, she could clearly hear car horns several blocks away; see tiny paper scraps falling from tall buildings with the wind; and even smell the lingering perfume scents from different people in the air.
Her five senses were infinitely magnified, and the entire World became unprecedentedly clear and... slow in her eyes.
What surprised and slightly panicked her the most was that the strange adhesive sensation was becoming more and more obvious.
One time she was reaching for a book on the top shelf at home, her foot slipped and she almost fell. In a panic, her palm instinctively pressed against the wall—and then she was horrified to find that her palm was stuck to the wall as if glued by superglue!
It took a lot of effort to "pull" it off, and the sensation of being stuck still lingered in her palm.
"What... what exactly is going on?" Gwen murmured, looking at her palm.
She began frantically searching for related information online. "Superpowers," "Mutants," "genetic mutation"... these terms, which used to only appear in comics and movies, might now be closely related to her.
And the source of all this pointed to the mysterious Eastern man next door—Lin Tian.
She had gone to Lin Tian, subtly asking questions.
But Lin Tian always smiled without speaking, or used ambiguous words to brush her off, only telling her: "This is your deserved gift; feel it, control it."
A gift? A gift exchanged for her body?
Gwen felt ashamed internally, yet she couldn't deny that she was increasingly infatuated with the sense of control that this power brought, and... Lin Tian himself.
This afternoon, Gwen was walking home with her backpack, her mood a bit complicated.
She had just declined her bandmates' invitation to practice, and her mind was still replaying the feelings from "dual cultivation" with Lin Tian last night. Each energy fusion made her feel one step closer to being a "Superman."
Just as she turned a street corner, a piercing scream suddenly rang out!
"Robbery! Someone stole my bag!"
Gwen looked in the direction of the sound and saw, not far away, a man in a hoodie running frantically with a lady's handbag, while the robbed lady sat on the ground in a panic.
Bystanders around either gasped or instinctively recoiled; for a moment, no one stepped forward to stop him.
In the past, Gwen might have felt scared and helpless, like most people.
But now...
Chapter 3
It was almost an instinctive reaction!
As she saw the mugger about to run past her, the power within Gwen was instantly mobilized!
Her body, like a compressed spring, shot out!
The speed was incredibly fast!
In the mugger's astonished gaze, Gwen's figure appeared like a phantom in front of him, blocking his path.
"Drop the bag!" Gwen's voice was clear, yet carried an undeniable strength.
The mugger paused, then a sinister grin spread across his face: "Get lost, little girl! Are you looking to die?"
With that, he actually pulled out a gleaming folding knife from his pocket and lunged at Gwen!
"Ah!" Gasps rang out from the surroundings.
However, in Gwen's infinitely magnified senses, the stabbing knife moved as slowly as a snail.
She could even clearly see the cold light reflecting off the blade and the mugger's ferocious expression.
Her body reacted faster than her brain!
Gwen slightly shifted her body, easily dodging the incoming knife, and at the same time, her right hand shot out like lightning, precisely grabbing the mugger's knife-wielding wrist.
"Crack!" A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed!
The mugger let out a bloodcurdling scream, the knife in his hand clattered to the ground, and his entire arm twisted at a bizarre angle.
Gwen herself was startled!
She hadn't expected her subconscious grab to be so powerful!
But at this moment, she couldn't worry about that.
The mugger was wailing in pain, still clutching the handbag tightly with his other hand.
Gwen frowned slightly, raised her canvas-shoed foot, and seemingly casually kicked the mugger's knee.
"Thud!"
The mugger's legs gave out, and he fell heavily to his knees, the handbag slipping from his grasp.
The entire process was as fast as lightning, clean and decisive!
The surrounding passersby were stunned!
What just happened?
This seemingly slender and delicate blonde girl actually... actually subdued a knife-wielding robber in just a few moves?! And that strength and speed... it was almost inhuman!
The robbed lady also stared blankly at Gwen, momentarily forgetting to pick up her bag.
Gwen picked up the handbag from the ground and handed it back to the lady, saying with a hint of embarrassment: "Are... are you alright?"
"Ah... no, I'm fine! Thank you! Thank you so much, little girl!" The lady finally reacted, excitedly speaking incoherently.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd also burst into exclamations and discussions.
"Oh my God! She's amazing!"
"I didn't even see how she did it!"
"Is she Superman?"
Listening to the discussions around her and looking at the mugger groaning in pain on the ground, Gwen's heart pounded.
Not because of fear, but because of... excitement!
An unprecedented sense of excitement from controlling power and punishing evil while promoting good!
So, this is what it feels like to have power!
She subconsciously turned her head, looking in the direction of her apartment.
All of this was given to her by that man.
She suddenly felt that perhaps... she could use this power to do more things?
Just then, the sound of police sirens came from a distance.
Gwen's heart tightened; not wanting to cause trouble, she nodded to the lady and the people around her, then quickly turned and disappeared into the crowd in a few flashes, leaving behind a trail of exclamations and speculations.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a building not far away.
Lin Tian stood in the air, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
Everything that had just happened was seen by his spiritual sense.
"Not bad, she's already initially learned to use her power," he murmured to himself. "It seems my 'investment' is starting to pay off."
His gaze penetrated through numerous obstacles, landing on the rapidly departing, agile and vibrant figure.
This seed was taking root and sprouting at an astonishing speed.
And he, from behind the scenes, only needed to quietly water it and wait for the harvest.
Chapter 6: Clues, Awakening of Abilities
After the incident of subduing the robber on the street, Gwen's desire and curiosity for her own power reached its peak.
She was no longer merely satisfied with the improvement of her physical qualities; she began to more intentionally explore those "abnormal" abilities.
For example, that peculiar sticky sensation.
At night, after her father fell asleep, Gwen secretly snuck into the living room, took a deep breath, and pressed her palm against the smooth wall.
She concentrated, imagining... suction!
The wondrous sensation returned!
Her palm truly seemed to have become a suction cup, firmly adhering to the wall!
She tried to slowly move her body, pressing her other hand against the wall, then her feet... The next second, Gwen Stacy, in an extremely bizarre posture, like a gecko, was clinging to the vertical wall, using both her hands and feet!
"Success!!" Gwen was ecstatic, almost exclaiming aloud!
She could really crawl on walls like a spider!
Although her movements were still clumsy and her control wasn't stable enough, occasionally losing adhesion and falling, this was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough!
Besides wall-crawling, her senses were also becoming increasingly keen.
Once, she was walking on the street, and though there was nothing unusual around, a slight tingling sensation suddenly came from the back of her neck, as if some danger was approaching.
She instinctively dodged to the side!
Almost at the same time, a flowerpot falling from a height "thumped" onto the spot where she had just stood, shattering into pieces!
If she had moved half a second later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Gwen broke out in a cold sweat, stroking the still tingling back of her neck.
That feeling... it was like some kind of warning system!
Spider-Sense?!
The term uncontrollably jumped into her mind.
Combining her increasingly strong power, speed, agility, and now the demonstrated wall-crawling ability and danger premonition... Gwen could almost certainly affirm that she was evolving towards... some kind of spider-like superhuman!
All of this was too crazy!
And the source of all this, without a doubt, was still Lin Tian.
She sought out Lin Tian more frequently.
Sometimes she didn't even need an excuse, just knocking on his door late at night, then, under his knowing gaze, throwing herself into his embrace.
Each dual cultivation was like a feast.
Lin Tian also seemed to have noticed the direction of her ability awakening, and during their interactions, he would intentionally or unintentionally guide the energy towards strengthening these "spider characteristics" of hers.
Gwen could clearly feel that after each session, her wall-crawling ability became more stable, and her danger premonition became clearer and more precise.
Afterward, Gwen's voice carried a hint of laziness and confusion: "Lin... who exactly are you? Why... does being with me make me... so strange?"
Lin Tian gently stroked her back, smiling faintly: "I am just a traveler who happened to pass by. As for the changes in you, that's because you are inherently special; I merely... happened to help you open that door."
"Special?" Gwen was a little lost.
"Yes," Lin Tian looked at the night outside the window, his eyes deep, "This World is far more exciting than you imagine, and full of possibilities. You, Gwen Stacy, are destined to be extraordinary."
Gwen vaguely understood, but she could feel the seriousness in Lin Tian's words.
Extraordinary?
Looking at her hands, which were becoming fairer, more delicate, and full of power due to "dual cultivation," and feeling the latent power within her that could shock the World, a flame called "ambition" ignited in Gwen's heart for the first time.
Perhaps... I really can do some... extraordinary things?
For example, like a hero from a comic book, protect this city?
A vague thought quietly took root in her heart.
She began to consciously train her abilities.
Practicing wall-crawling and jumping in deserted warehouse districts, testing her reaction speed and limits of power in secluded parks.
She even began to try making some... gadgets.
For example, using the knowledge she learned in chemistry class, combined with some special formulas found online, she tried to concoct a viscous liquid similar to spider silk.
Although she failed repeatedly, she did not give up.
A brand new legend, belonging to Ghost Spider, was quietly brewing.
And Lin Tian, like the most brilliant chess player, quietly watched all of this from behind the scenes, a mysterious smile always on his lips.
Gwen's growth not only pleased him, but more importantly, the pure Yin essence brought by each dual cultivation accelerated the cultivation process of his Yin Yang Harmony Manual.
The Harmony True Qi in his dantian was already several times thicker than when he first arrived, and there were even faint signs of breaking through the first realm.
"Not enough..." Lin Tian felt the True Qi within him, "Relying solely on Gwen, the speed is still too slow. Moreover, her energy attribute is too singular; to truly cultivate the Yin Yang Harmony Manual to a profound realm, I need more... different types of 'Dao companions'."
His spiritual sense quietly spread like a tide, covering half of New York City.
He was "searching."
Searching for those who were also "special," possessing great potential or unique energy, and were female.
Soon, a few vague "light spots" caught his attention.
One was near Hells Kitchen in Manhattan, full of suppressed darkness and tenacious vitality.
One was deep within a mysterious military Base, emanating a dangerous yet alluring aura, like the most deadly scorpion.
And another... even more distant, as if not in the same dimension, yet emitting chaotic and powerful magicfluctuations.
Lin Tian's lips curved into an even more playful smile.
"It seems this World is much more interesting than I imagined."
New prey had entered his sights... New book released, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, and everything!
Free flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and likes are all welcome, the more the merrier!
These data are very important during the new book period, so I humbly ask all Yanzu to move your lucky little hands.
I also hope everyone won't be stingy with urging update tickets; although the author's typing speed isn't fast, just try it and you'll see!
Chapter 7: Dual Cultivation Becomes Routine, Gwen's Changes
Time quietly flowed, and Gwen's life had formed a peculiar duality.
During the day, she was still the blonde girl bustling between school, band, and family, but no one knew that she now possessed strength and secrets far beyond ordinary people.
At night, or whenever she had the opportunity to be alone, she would transform into a diligent "cultivator" and... Lin Tian's "regular visitor."
Chapter 4
Gwen's 'dual cultivation' with Lin Tian had evolved from initial shyness and struggle to a state of normalcy, and even… a secret anticipation.
Each fusion of energy was like a dual baptism of soul and body, not only bringing a leap in power but also an indescribable sense of belonging and satisfaction that left her addicted and unable to extricate herself.
This normalized 'dual cultivation' brought Earth-shattering changes to Gwen.
Her skin became even fairer and more delicate, as if Water could be squeezed from it, and her figure became more well-proportioned and alluring, full of youthful vitality and an indescribable charm.
She was no longer the slightly innocent girl she once was but began to exude a unique charm that lay between a girl and a woman.
Due to the growth of her power and the existence of her secret, she became more confident; the confusion in her eyes lessened, replaced by determination and… a subtle hint of danger.
Walking down the street, her head-turning rate soared, and even the football players at school who used to ignore her now looked at her with fiery gazes.
The most significant change, however, was in her abilities.
Climbing walls was like instinct, her spider sense could almost predict any subtle change happening around her, and her strength and speed reached an astonishing level.
Once during band practice, the drummer accidentally knocked over the heavy drum kit; seeing it about to hit someone, Gwen instinctively reached out and easily held up the dozens-of-pounds-heavy drum kit, stunning all her teammates.
"Wow! Gwen! When did you get so strong?" The bassist, Mary Jane, asked with her mouth agape.
"Uh… I've been working out recently," Gwen could only explain, feeling a chill in her heart.
She had to hide her secret more carefully.
Her father, Director George Stacy, also vaguely noticed his daughter's changes. His daughter seemed to have become more independent, more assertive, and… more beautiful, but she also seemed to have more on her mind.
"Gwen, are you hiding something from me recently?" Director George asked casually during dinner one time.
"No, Dad, you're overthinking it," Gwen said, pushing around the salad on her plate, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Is that so?" Director George looked deeply at his daughter. "Anyway, be careful. The city isn't peaceful lately."
Gwen's heart warmed, and she nodded: "I know, Dad."
She knew what her father was worried about, but she also knew that she was no longer the little girl who needed to be protected at all times.
She had gained the power to protect herself, and even others.
And Lin Tian, who had given her all of this, was not without changes during this time.
Every dual cultivation session with Gwen greatly benefited him.
The special Yin essence power generated in Gwen's body due to the spider mutation was an excellent 'tonic' for the Yin Yang Harmony Manual.
The Harmony True Qi in Lin Tian's Dantian had condensed to a critical point, as if it could break through the bottleneck and enter the second stage of the cultivation method at any time.
Once he broke through, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap, his spiritual sense would expand, his True Qi would become more refined, and his control over energy would be more effortless.
He would even be able to initially perform some secret techniques of the Joyful Union Sect.
But he was not in a hurry to break through.
The Yin Yang Harmony Manual emphasized the harmony of Yin and Yang, and natural progression. Forcing a breakthrough might destabilize his foundation.
Moreover, he was still waiting for a better 'opportunity'.
Although Gwen's energy was pure, its attributes were relatively singular.
If he could find more women with different attributes and equally powerful potential for 'dual cultivation', absorbing more diverse Yin essence power, then his breakthrough would be more perfect, and his future achievements would be even greater.
His spiritual sense, like a tireless radar, constantly scanned the city.
That woman in Hells Kitchen with a dark and tenacious aura… seemed to be a lawyer?
She defended justice by day, but by night, she seemed to transform into an elf in the darkness, agile and resolute.
In a S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, that red-haired Agent codenamed 'Black Widow', her aura was like the most dangerous venomous snake, cold and lethal, yet with a fatal allure.
Her body seemed to have undergone some special modification; her energy composition was very peculiar.
And that… goddess, presumably from Asgard?
Her power system was completely different from Earth's, full of divine and destructive auras. If he could dual cultivate with her… Lin Tian could even feel his Harmony True Qi stirring.
Of course, he also sensed other 'anomalies'.
For example, that playboy flying around in his Iron Man Suit, that old ice cube with a shield, that irritable big brother who could turn into a green hulk… The power systems of this World were truly diverse and extremely interesting.
Lin Tian lay on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Gwen, this seed, had grown robustly; it was time to find the next… more fertile soil.
He wasn't worried that Gwen would be displeased by this.
The Joyful Union Sect's cultivation method came with a peculiar connection.
As long as he wished, he could make any woman who had dual cultivated with him develop a deep-seated reliance and… obedience towards him.
Of course, Lin Tian didn't like to use force.
He preferred to watch his prey willingly step into his carefully woven web, one step at a time.
For example, the famous Black Widow—Natasha Romanoff.
Lin Tian could feel that vague, almost imperceptible gazes were beginning to fall on Gwen.
Was it S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Because of the street robbery incident last time?
"Perfect timing," Lin Tian took a sip of red wine, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 8: Trouble Comes Knocking, Natasha's Gaze
Trouble, after all, still came knocking.
But this trouble wasn't directly aimed at Gwen; it came in a more subtle and professional manner.
A few days later, one afternoon, Gwen was walking home from school. As she reached the apartment building, she saw a woman in a black trench coat, with a fiery figure and iconic red hair, leaning against an inconspicuous black car, seemingly waiting for someone.
The woman's features were exquisite, her demeanor cold and elegant, and her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. The powerful aura she inadvertently exuded made passersby unconsciously keep their distance from her.
Gwen's heart gave a sudden leap!
Her spider sense was warning her frantically!.
This woman… was very dangerous! Extremely dangerous!
Is she here for me?
Gwen instinctively tightened her backpack strap, her body tensing slightly, ready to react to any sudden situation.
The red-haired woman obviously noticed Gwen. She raised her head, her gaze falling precisely on Gwen, and a formulaic smile, tinged with a hint of inquiry, appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Gwen Stacy?" the woman asked, her voice steady, devoid of any emotion.
"…Who are you?" Gwen asked, forcing herself to stay calm and vigilant.
"You can call me Natalie Rushman," the red-haired woman—or rather, Natasha Romanoff—used a common alias. She pulled out an ID from her trench coat pocket and showed it to Gwen. "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
S.H.I.E.L.D.?!
Gwen's pupils constricted slightly!
They really came looking for her! Was it because of the robbery last time? Or… did they find out more?
"Does S.H.I.E.L.D. need me for something?" Gwen tried to keep her voice steady.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Stacy," Natasha put away her ID, her tone still flat. "We just noticed a street robbery that occurred in Queens a while ago. Witnesses said a blonde girl with extraordinary skills subdued the knife-wielding assailant. Based on the description, we believe that person might be you."
Gwen's mind raced. Admit it? Or deny it?
If she admitted it, would she be taken for research? Or forced to join them?
Deny it? Since they could find her, they must have more than a little evidence.
"That was just… luck," Gwen said vaguely. "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't know what was going on, so…"
Natasha looked at Gwen, her sharp eyes seeming to see through people's hearts: "Luck? According to our understanding, the assailant suffered a fractured wrist and a severe knee injury, while you were unharmed. This cannot be explained by simple 'luck,' Miss Stacy. Your skills… are very special."
Gwen fell silent.
She knew there was no point in denying it further.
"What do you want?" Gwen raised her head, looking directly into Natasha's eyes, a hint of stubbornness and vigilance in her gaze.
Natasha saw the vigilance in Gwen's eyes and instead smiled slightly, her tone softening: "Don't misunderstand, we have no ill intentions. In fact, we are always looking for people like you with special talents. The World is dangerous, and there are always threats that require special people to deal with."
"So, you want to recruit me?" Gwen raised an eyebrow.
"You could say that," Natasha nodded. "Of course, we won't force you. We just want you to know that there's such an option. If you'd like to learn more, you can contact me anytime."
With that, Natasha handed Gwen a business card with only the name "Natalie" and an encrypted contact method.
Gwen hesitated for a moment but still took the business card.
"We'll continue to keep an eye on you, Miss Stacy. I hope you use your power wisely." Natasha gave Gwen a deep look, as if implying something, then turned and got into the black car, quickly disappearing into the traffic.
Gwen stood there, clutching the business card, her mood complex.
The appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
This meant that her secret was no longer a secret; she had been targeted by an official organization.
Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Join S.H.I.E.L.D.? Become an Agent? Save the World like in the movies?
The thought made her a little excited but also full of doubts.
She was used to freedom, and… the source of her power was Lin Tian. Could she tell S.H.I.E.L.D. about this?
Absolutely not!
Gwen instinctively looked up at the floor where Lin Tianlived.
Lin Tian… does he know S.H.I.E.L.D. came to find me? What would he think?
Meanwhile, in the apartment's bedroom.
Lin Tian sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.
Natasha and Gwen's entire conversation, and even Natasha's sharp gaze that inadvertently swept across his window as she left, were all clearly captured by his spiritual sense.
"Natasha Romanoff… Black Widow…" Lin Tian's lips curled into an amused arc. "As expected, her perception is quite keen."
Natasha's seemingly casual glance earlier was actually an investigation.
She might have sensed an anomaly in this apartment building, or simply developed curiosity about him, Gwen's neighbor.
However, Lin Tian had already completely concealed his aura, appearing as an ordinary 60-year-old Chinese youth to outsiders.
No matter how capable Natasha was, she couldn't possibly see through his true nature with just one glance.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.… is a good entry point," Lin Tian mused.
Through S.H.I.E.L.D., he could come into contact with more'special individuals' in this World, learn more about the secrets of this World's power system, and it would also make it easier for him to find his next, and even the one after that, dual cultivation partner.
Natasha Romanoff was an excellent target.
This woman, battle-hardened and resolute, possessed an energy that, while not as pure as Gwen's, was more condensed and… full of resilience.
If he could take her as a cultivation vessel, it would greatly benefit his cultivation.
Moreover, conquering such a thorny Black Rose was an interesting endeavor in itself.
Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, a hunter's glint flickering within them.
The bait had been cast, and the fish were beginning to bite.
Now, it was up to him to see how he would, step by step, draw this top-tier female Agent into his carefully woven web of affection.
Chapter 5
He picked up his phone and sent Gwen a message:
"Come over tonight, there's something I need to tell you."
He needed to give Gwen some guidance to ensure this important chess piece wouldn't deviate from his predetermined path.
At the same time, it was time to start laying the first chess piece for contacting Natasha.
The game had just begun... New book released, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, everything!

Chapter 9: Behind-the-Scenes Guidance, Initial Taming of the Queen
Gwen knocked on Lin Tian's door with a nervous heart.
The appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. weighed on her like a giant rock, and she urgently needed someone to confide in, or rather, Lin Tian's instructions.
Unbeknownst to her, she had already come to regard Lin Tian as her greatest reliance and... her backbone.
The door opened, and Lin Tian still had that lazy and composed look, as if he had already seen through everything.
"Come in," he stepped aside, his gaze lingering on Gwen's face for a moment, "Is it about that red-haired woman from S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Gwen was startled and blurted out, "How did you know?!"
She hadn't said a single word yet!.
Lin Tian smiled faintly, walked to the sofa and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea, his movements elegant, as if he wasn't in an ordinary apartment in Queens, but in some immortal's cave.
"My perception far exceeds your imagination."
He said it lightly, his tone calm, yet carrying an unquestionable authority, "A well-trained Agent, that deliberately restrained yet still leaking sharp aura, is like a firefly in the dark; it's hard not to notice."
Gwen looked at Lin Tian, her shock beyond words.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were merely fireflies in the dark in his eyes?
Who exactly was he? And what terrifying level had his strength reached?
This powerful and mysterious aura, revealed so casually, quickly dispelled Gwen's unease, replaced by a strange sense of security and... adoration.
"Then... what should I do?" Gwen walked to Lin Tian's side, asking somewhat at a loss, "They want to recruit me."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Lin Tian scoffed, taking a light sip of his tea, "Just a bunch of self-important mortal organizations, with a few petty tricks, having mastered a bit of power beyond the mundane, they think they can control everything. However..."
He changed the subject, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes: "Sometimes, they can also provide some convenience, they are some... useful tools."
Tools? Gwen was stunned.
The famous, even powerful S.H.I.E.L.D., in his mouth, was merely a tool?
"Your power comes from me, and it belongs only to you."
Lin Tian put down his teacup, his gaze falling on Gwen, carrying a peculiar penetrating power, "S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot give you these; they will only try to control you, use you, and even... dissect you."
Gwen shivered involuntarily at the word "dissect."
"Then I'll ignore them?"
"No," Lin Tian shook his head, a profound smile playing on his lips, "Why refuse a source of intelligence and... a shield that comes knocking?"
He reached out and gently stroked Gwen's soft golden hair, his movements natural and intimate: "You can interact with them, play along, get the information you need from them, and learn more secrets about this World. But remember, your heart, your power, belongs only to yourself... and to me."
The last three words, he said very softly, yet they carried an irresistible magic, deeply imprinted in Gwen's heart.
Gwen's cheeks flushed slightly, looking at Lin Tian's handsome face so close, and those eyes that seemed to see through souls, she felt her heart race out of control again.
The pressure and doubts brought by Natasha during the day instantly vanished with Lin Tian's casual words and intimate gestures.
She just needed to listen to him, and that was enough.
"I understand." Gwen nodded obediently, like a cat soothed by its Master.
Lin Tian smiled contentedly and stood up.
Just then, a glass cup he had placed on the coffee table, without warning, developed a tiny crack at its rim, making a soft "click" sound.
Gwen jumped in surprise, looking at the cup.
Lin Tian, however, seemed completely oblivious, merely his eyes moving slightly, and that newly appeared crack actually... vanished at a visible speed! The glass cup was as good as new, as if everything just now was an illusion!
"!!!" Gwen's eyes widened, almost unable to believe what she had seen!
A crack appearing out of nowhere? And then disappearing out of nowhere? What kind of ability was this?
She looked at Lin Tian in shock, but saw him merely picking up the cup with a calm demeanor, saying, "It seems I need a sturdier cup."
He didn't explain, nor did he need to explain.
This inadvertent glimpse of the tip of the iceberg was enough to make Gwen realize that Lin Tian's abilities were far more unfathomable and incredible than she had imagined!
This casual display of power was simply maxed out!
Gwen's gaze towards Lin Tian completely transformed from dependence into... awe and fanaticism.
"Alright, don't think about those irrelevant things." Lin Tianput down the cup, his gaze returning to Gwen, his eyes becoming somewhat fervent, carrying a familiar hint that made Gwen's body go soft, "The pressure from S.H.I.E.L.D.needs a good... relaxation."
Gwen instantly understood Lin Tian's meaning, her cheeks flushing crimson.
But this time, she had no hesitation or resistance whatsoever.
Instead... she was filled with anticipation.
She needed his strength, his comfort, and the ultimate experience he brought that made her sink into oblivion.
Lin Tian seemed to be on some special edge, the energy fluctuations emanating from him becoming more turbulent and powerful.
Gwen could clearly feel that her spider abilities were being further stimulated and consolidated, every cell in her body cheering, craving for more.
And Lin Tian, nourished by Gwen's pure and vibrant Yin essence, felt the last thin layer of bottleneck within his body being shaken, on the verge of collapsing.
The second layer of the Yin Yang Harmony Manual was within reach!
After it ended.
Lin Tian gently stroked her sweaty back, a glint flashing in his eyes.
He knew that once he broke through to the second layer, his strength would be incomparable.
His spiritual sense would cover most of New York, his True Qi could be initially released externally, and he could even perform some Joyful Union Sect secret techniques, such as... the Voice of Charm, or short-distance spatial displacement.
By then, whether it was finding new Dao Companions or dealing with potential crises in this World, he would have stronger confidence and... a higher level of presence.
Looking at Gwen, who was already deeply asleep in his arms, Lin Tian's lips curved into a slight smile.
This chess piece was completely tamed.
Next, it was time to meet that thorny black rose... New book released, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, everything!
Free flowers, evaluation, monthly votes, comments, likes, I beg for as many as possible!
These statistics are very important during the new book period, I beg all Yanzus to move their lucky little hands.
I also hope everyone won't be stingy with Update Ticket(remind for updates tickets), although the author's typing speed isn't fast, just try throwing them and see what happens!.
Chapter 10: Breaking the Cocoon, Gwen Who Can Shoot Webs
After sending off the sleeping Gwen, Lin Tian immediately returned to the bedroom and sat down cross-legged.
This dual cultivation with Gwen was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, bringing the accumulated energy in his body to its peak.
That bottleneck hindering his breakthrough to the second layer was now as thin as a cicada's wing; he only needed to concentrate his power to break through it in one fell swoop!
Lin Tian closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Dantian.
The Harmony True Qi, which was originally like a stream, had now gathered into a surging small river, circulating at high speed through his meridians according to the route of the Yin Yang Harmony Manual.
With each cycle, the color of the True Qi deepened a bit, and its texture became more refined.
The pure Yin essence provided by Gwen, like a catalyst, perfectly merged with his own masculine True Qi, transforming into an unstoppable force that launched the final assault on that invisible bottleneck!
"Boom!"
It was like a World-shattering roar, echoing only in his spiritual World!
That tenacious bottleneck shattered instantly!
A warm current, several times more immense than before, instantly erupted from his Dantian, like a bursting dam, surging through his limbs and bones, every meridian, every acupoint!
Lin Tian felt completely refreshed, as if reborn!
The Dantian space had expanded several times over, and the originally liquid True Qi now subtly showed signs of... atomization, becoming lighter and more agile!
More importantly, his spiritual sense!
His spiritual sense, which originally could only cover a few surrounding blocks, now, like an eagle freed from its restraints, instantly surged!
Hundreds of kilometers in radius!
The entire island of Manhattan, most of Queens, and even a part of Brooklyn, were clearly presented in his "vision"! Traffic, bustling crowds, skyscrapers, underground pipes... countless streams of information surged into his mind like a tide, yet were easily processed by his powerful mental strength, without a single detail out of place.
He could even "see" a man in a red tight suit running and leaping agilely in the dark on the rooftop of an apartment building in Hells Kitchen, fighting several armed thugs.
He could also "see" the playboy in the Iron Man Suit in the top-floor laboratory of Stark Tower, debugging some new weapon, muttering incessantly.
He could also "see" Natasha Romanoff in a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. outpost, frowning at a report about a "mysterious girl from Queens," her eyes filled with inquiry and... a hint of imperceptible annoyance.
"The second layer of the Yin Yang Harmony Manual is indeed extraordinary." Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, a tangible glint flashing in his eyes, and the air in the room seemed to slightly twist.
He spread his palm, and with a thought.
The atomized True Qi in his Dantian rapidly circulated, gathering in his palm through the meridians.
Hiss——
A wisp of light pink, smoke-like airflow appeared out of thin air above his palm, slowly rotating, emitting a faint, alluring fragrance and astonishing energy fluctuations!
True Qi externalization!
This meant that he had initially acquired the ability to use his internal energy to interfere with the outside World!
Although this externalized True Qi was still very weak, its offensive power might not be as good as a bullet, but the Joyful Union Sect characteristics it contained were infinitely useful!
For example... Lin Tian flicked his finger, and that wisp of light pink True Qi, as if alive, floated out lightly and entered a cup of clear Water on the nearby table.
Silently.
That cup of clear Water, however, at a visible speed, took on a charming pink glow, and a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance, enough to make any man's heart flutter, permeated the air.
"Water of Charm..." Lin Tian's lips curved slightly.
This was just the crudest application; if his cultivation deepened, he could even condense True Qi into various forms, harm people from a distance, or perform stronger charm techniques, manipulating hearts silently.
"Strength is the foundation for survival in any World." Lin Tian felt the surging power within him, his heart filled with ambition.
With the second layer of cultivation, he had full confidence in dealing with most of the "super-powered individuals" in this World.
Even when facing pure powerhouses like Hulk, or Asgardians like Thor, while he might not be able to contend head-on, with the Joyful Union Sect's elusive movement techniques and secret arts, self-preservation would be more than sufficient, and he could even engage in some maneuvering.
More importantly, his ability to find and "capture" new Dao Companions had greatly increased!
...Meanwhile, in an alley in Queens.
Gwen, dressed in a black tight-fitting tracksuit, wearing a hood and a simple mask, was on her "night patrol."
Ever since she subdued a robber on the street last time and received Lin Tian's "guidance," the seed of a "hero" within her had begun to grow wildly.
She yearned to do something with her power, to prove her worth, and also... to live up to this "gift" Lin Tian had given her.
