A strange roar came from the portal; it must have been the ghost soldiers from the underworld.

Luo Wei didn't pay much attention and went straight in. A few seconds later, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and what came into view was scorched black earth.

"Superman, we've been waiting for you."

As soon as he emerged, the bull-headed man's enormous body stepped out of the darkness. This time, he wasn't alone; behind him followed an equally enormous figure, a horse-headed human with a huge halberd in his hand. It was none other than the underworld's guardian, Horse-Face.

"Finding Chi Hun will take some time. You've been searching for over a hundred years and haven't found him yet. You can't expect me to find him in a day."

Luo Wei leaped into the air, his gaze level with that of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"So, you still haven't found Chi Hun?"

Niu Tou looked behind him, his eyes peering through the portal. He saw a forest outside, but couldn't sense any trace of Chi Hun or see any movement related to him. Somewhat disappointed, he said, "Well, Chi Hun has been hiding for so many years, so naturally he won't be found so easily."

"Who said I didn't find him? I just had a fight with him not long ago."

Luo Wei took out the white sphere, tossed it, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"This is?"

Ox-Head and Horse-Face looked puzzled. They thought the white sphere was some kind of magical artifact, but after examining it carefully, they couldn't recognize it. They only felt that there was a tiny space inside the sphere.

However, Minotaur quickly stopped paying attention to the white sphere and instead asked about Chi Hun: "Superman, do you mean you've seen Chi Hun? Where did he appear? Tell us, and perhaps sending Yin soldiers can help us track down Chi Hun."

"Yes, stop keeping me in suspense."

Horse-face was also somewhat impatient. He was a core member in the pursuit of Chi Hun back then, but in the end, he was tricked by Chi Hun and the matter was left unresolved, which left him feeling resentful.

"Don't rush, close the portal first."

Luo Wei wasn't in a hurry at all. After seeing the Ox-Head and Horse-Face work together to close the underworld portal, he touched the sphere, which flickered with strange runes.

"Isn't this the array runes of Yama, the King of Hell? When did you learn it?"

Ox-Head and Horse-Face were astonished.

Whoosh——

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist emerged from the white sphere. As if it had been deprived of sunlight for a long time, the black mist rushed out wildly after it emerged. After rushing around a few times, the black mist stopped in front of the three people and condensed into a hideous ghost face, revealing scarlet eyes that revealed resentment and anger.

"Superman, you'll die a horrible death!"

"

During the time Chi Hun was trapped, he suffered greatly. Now that he was out, his eyes were immediately on Luo Wei, and he didn't notice the Ox-Head and Horse-Face behind him at all.

"Chi Hun, don't rush to scold me. Look around and behind you."

Luo Wei was not worried at all about Chi Hun escaping. Chi Hun had escaped from the underworld with the help of the token, but without the token, he would never be able to leave. Moreover, no spirit in the underworld could escape the perception of the Ten Courts.

"Is this the underworld?!"

Chi Hun looked around at the familiar scene, but when his gaze fell on Ox-Head and Horse-Face, these two mortal enemies who were both familiar and unfamiliar, he seemed to lose all his strength and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Chi Hun!"

Ignoring the fact that Superman had learned the underworld runes, Minotaur decisively swung his halberd and struck Chi Hun fiercely.

This halberd was crafted using special techniques from the underworld and engraved with runes, making it a weapon specifically designed to kill undead. Even before Chi Hun was touched, he felt a terrifying pressure.

Chi Hun dared not be negligent and immediately transformed into a trail of black smoke, fleeing into the distance. His halberd struck empty air, smashing a huge crater into the scorched earth.

"Chi Hun, you still want to run away!"

Just as Ox-Head and Horse-Face were about to give chase, a figure appeared on the horizon, grabbing Chi Hun with one hand and squeezing it into a fist, as if it were grasping an ant.

The person who arrived was none other than Yama, the King of Hell. He seized Chi Hun, threw his head back, and laughed loudly, saying, "I've been searching for you for so long!"

"Your Honor, it was Superman who captured Chi Hun."

Upon seeing this, Ox-Head and Horse-Face hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects. Ox-Head recalled that the sphere held by Superman had runes unique to the underworld, and lowered his voice to say, "My lord, Superman learned the runes of the underworld from somewhere."

"What's so strange about that? If Superman couldn't learn it, he wouldn't be Superman."

As Yama spoke, he stuffed Chi Hun into his pocket. The pocket seemed to have a hidden secret, as it did not bulge after Chi Hun was stuffed in.

He approached Luo Wei with a smile and said, "Am I right?"

"Yes, this array runes... When I was at the Chi Hun Taoist Temple, he used an array to trap me, and I had to comprehend the runes to break the array."

Luo Wei didn't hide it, mainly because he felt he couldn't hide it from Yama. The other party gave him a very unfathomable feeling, as if he knew a lot about the universe. Thinking about it, it made sense, since the other party could learn about many things in the universe and absorb knowledge from them by collecting the dead from the multiverse.

"Superman is always smart. How long did it take you? Three days? Two days?"

King Yama stroked his long beard and said, "You've never been exposed to runes and scripts in the underworld before, so it's normal that it takes a while."

"Uh, ten minutes."

Luo Wei thought for a moment and counted it as ten minutes. At that time, the runes he had seen in the underworld hall flashed through his mind, but he did not pay attention to them or try to understand them. It should not be counted from that time.

"cough cough"

Upon hearing this, Yama coughed violently a few times, his hand trembling slightly. He waved it and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You are just as gifted as I am."

"ten minutes?"

Ox-Head and Horse-Face stared wide-eyed. It would take them half a year just to learn the underworld's script and recognize all the runes, yet Superman did it in ten minutes!

Moreover, according to him

As we all know, even the Judge himself took more than a month to learn array runes, and that was only the beginning.

But, Your Honor, how dare you tell Superman that you are gifted?

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Luo Wei glanced at the time displayed on his combat suit. He had specially designed a clock on his wrist, and it was now 10:30 p.m. in Kyoto.

"I previously granted you a request, and you may now make it."

Yama, the King of Hell, had not forgotten his previous words.

"I haven't decided yet. I'll come find you again when I have."

Luo Wei shook his head. He had no need at the moment. Besides, how could he let the King of Hell repay a favor so easily? Of course, he would leave it for another day.

"Very well, keep that token. If you've made up your mind, or if you have something to ask of us, contact us through the token."

Yama, the King of Hell, saw through his thoughts, nodded, and did not take back the token.

After a brief exchange, Luo Wei didn't linger any longer. Instead, he used the token to open a portal and return to his own universe. Of course, he also secretly tried to open doors to other universes, but unfortunately, it didn't work. It seems that this token is only connected to his own world.

This left him somewhat disappointed, as the multiverse is quite fascinating.

After returning to the mountains, Luo Wei went home without delay, washed up quickly, and went to sleep. His parents returned around dawn. From their conversation, it was clear that the two of them had gone to participate in work activities. Although it was a holiday, they still had to attend some work-related events occasionally. However, Qing She did not return all night. She was probably in Japan, cooperating with the investigation. After all, the newly established Superhero Association in Japan had not yet officially appeared in front of the public, and four people had already "sacrificed" themselves, leaving only the weakest, Shinji Nishimura. The entire upper echelon of Japan was probably shaken.

Luo Wei felt no sympathy for them, only that the Japanese had brought this upon themselves and were unlucky. If Fujita had arrived any later, he might have been gone long ago. However, he was not worried about the matter being exposed. As a core member of the Self-Strengthening Department, Hua Xin understood the impact of this matter better than anyone else. If the matter were exposed, it would only put China in a passive position and give the Japanese an excuse. It was impossible for China to voluntarily tell the Japanese the truth.

As for the other members of the Self-Improvement Corps, Luo Wei was not worried. Those who were selected to join the Self-Improvement Corps had undergone rigorous testing and control in terms of both psychology and ability, and would not disobey the arrangements made by their superiors.

The next morning.

Lowe didn't wake up naturally; he was awakened by knocking on the door.

bang bang bang! ! !

Outside the door, Green Snake, who was used to walking barefoot, with her slender, jade-like, fair toes, stepped on the blanket and knocked on the door with anticipation and excitement.

She called out, "Little Wei, get up! Watch the news!"

Luo Wei was speechless. When did Green Snake return? She came knocking on the door so early in the morning. Helpless, he pushed the door open and saw the little girl barefoot. He couldn't help but take a few more glances before asking, "What is it?"

"Look at the news, big news."

Green Snake smiled mysteriously, the corners of her mouth curving upwards, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks, and eagerly pulled Luo Wei towards the living room.

What could make you so happy?

As Luo Wei was speaking, he was led to the sofa and pulled down to sit with Qing She. The television was on.

The screen was playing the morning news.

Last night, our country dispatched Chao Ying to Japan to assist in the capture of evil forces, and the operation was a complete success. This helped Japan strike at the evil forces that had been hiding on Mount Rhoni Moon for many years. According to official Japanese sources, the abbot of the Jing Si Taoist Temple on Mount Rhoni Moon has been there for many years.

The news anchor spent the first half of the broadcast talking about the mission to Japan last night, as well as information about Mount Rhoni, the Jing Si Taoist Temple, and the Chi Hun.

After saying all that, the host brought the conversation back to the Self-Improvement Department's Superhero Alliance.

[Just this morning, the Chinese government, through its Ministry of Self-Strengthening, announced the establishment of the Superhero Alliance, a specialized organization dedicated to handling supernatural events and special cases.]

As the host spoke, a group photo of the Superheroes Alliance members was displayed on the large screen behind him. Hua Xin was standing in the center, with Crocodile Man and Panda on her left, and Green Snake and White Mask Zhang Fengshan on her right.

However, currently, apart from Zhang Si and the panda, everyone else on the poster is wearing a mask, possibly out of concern that their private lives might be affected.

However, Luo Wei, who was familiar with the Green Snake, could recognize the petite figure as her at a glance.

"Look, that's me. Aren't I handsome? It's a pity you can't come with me to the event; it would be much more interesting to see it live."

Green Snake raised an eyebrow, her delicate face full of pride, her snow-white swan neck almost pointing to the sky, her beautiful peach blossom eyes fixed on Luo Wei, waiting for him to praise her.

"Hmm, why isn't Superman here?"

Luo Wei, however, said something indifferent.

"Hey, only little kids like Superman. You should like me. No, I mean, you should idolize me."

Green Snake was only seventeen years old, so of course she craved the admiration of her peers and wanted to be recognized. Now that Luo Wei refused to praise her, she frowned and said unhappily.

"I didn't say I don't like you. I admire everyone who is willing to give their all, whether they are superheroes or ordinary people. You are the same in that I admire."

Luo Wei patted her head.

"I'll just take it as your compliment."

Green Snake was feeling smug when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Little Wei, do you want to practice martial arts?"

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Luo Wei was surprised.

“You have plenty of energy and blood, much stronger than the average person. You must have a talent for martial arts. It would be a waste not to learn it. I can teach you, and then you won’t have to worry about encountering danger when you go out.”

Although the Green Snake said this, she was genuinely worried that Luo Wei was too weak, or rather, that all humans were too weak. She was concerned that Luo Wei might encounter danger, just like Chi Hun, who always liked to target ordinary people.

Although China is very safe, one should be prepared for any eventuality. If Luo Wei could learn self-defense martial arts, or even comprehend "qi" and transform from an ordinary person into a qi master, he wouldn't be unable to protect himself.

"Forget it. If you have so much free time, you should practice on yourself first. You haven't even mastered the control over your own abilities yet."
