"You...what are you laughing at? Do you think I can't beat you?" Yang Feiyan was so angry that she jumped up and down, "I want to fight you again."

Zheng Yubai said helplessly: "Fighting again is a waste of time..."

"If you don't fight, you're just a puppy. If I lose to you again, I will never bother you again. How about it?" Yang Feiyan said.

“Okay…” Zheng Yubai was indeed a little annoyed with her. She came to him for no good reason and caused so much trouble. If it weren’t for Zheng Yubai’s usual good temper, someone else would have gone crazy long ago.

Following Yang Feiyan, he turned into the martial arts hall from the back door and came to a secret room hidden from everyone. Yang Feiyan closed the door, stood opposite Zheng Yubai, and said confidently: "Are you ready? Don't cry if you lose later."

"Don't worry, I won't cry." Zheng Yubai didn't want to argue with her anymore. Seeing that she was ready, he said, "I'm going to attack. Be careful." As he spoke, he started to move. In two or three steps, he was in front of Yang Feiyan and punched her, wanting to end the battle quickly.

The fist was thrown out, but before it hit Yang Feiyan, Zheng Yubai felt his body stagnate, as if his whole body was frozen and he couldn't move.

What happened? Zheng Yubai was shocked, and his first reaction was that his qi was out of control and his meridians were disturbed.

Just as he was in doubt, Yang Feiyan's little face appeared in front of him. The little girl's face was full of cunning. She raised her little pink fist towards Zheng Yubai as if to protest: "You silly goose, you can't move this time, right?"

Could it be acupuncture? Zheng Yubai realized that there was nothing wrong with his body, and the problem was outside the body. He quickly thought of several martial arts that could freeze a person's movements, but he ruled them out one by one. Acupuncture is an extremely advanced martial art, and it cannot be used without decades of practice. If Yang Feiyan said that she could acupuncture, he would never believe it.

"Haha, you look so silly, it's really funny." Yang Feiyan spun around in front of Zheng Yubai with a smug look on her face. Zheng Yubai couldn't move, and he couldn't even open his mouth. Only his eyelids could blink and his eyeballs could move with Yang Feiyan.

"You almost hit me just now, and now I want to hit you back. Well... I'll just punch you a hundred times." Yang Feiyan muttered, and finally swung his fist and punched Zheng Yubai.

"Oh... you're really tough." Yang Feiyan pouted, "Forget it, forget it, I won't fight you anymore. I'll just let you stay here for a day."

Zheng Yubai was anxious, not because he was afraid of being targeted, but because he had to go to work at night. If he lost the job he had finally found, he would rather die. Thinking of the consequences, Zheng Yubai blinked desperately, trying to attract Yang Feiyan's attention.

Yang Feiyan had indeed noticed it. She pointed at Zheng Yubai and laughed for a while, then waved her hands in the air. Somehow, Zheng Yubai felt his mouth loosen and he was able to speak.

"What kind of Kung Fu is this? Is it acupressure?" Zheng Yubai moved his mouth and asked.

"Tell me first whether you accept it or not?" Yang Feiyan said arrogantly.

"I give in." Zheng Yubai has always been pragmatic. He didn't even see how Yang Feiyan made her move. He accepted defeat with all his heart.

"That's better." Yang Feiyan vented her anger and smiled. She patted Zheng Yubai's face and said, "Since you have admitted defeat, I will be magnanimous and forgive you." As she spoke, she waved her hand again, and Zheng Yubai felt lighter and immediately regained his ability to move.

"Are you curious about how I did it?" Zheng Yubai was confused, and Yang Feiyan saw it all, and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She was still a little girl, and she loved to show off, so she spoke before Zheng Yubai asked again.

Zheng Yubai nodded repeatedly. For a martial artist, this kind of magical skill is like a priceless treasure. Even if he can't learn it, it will be of great benefit to gain more experience.

"I know there's a cafe nearby that serves good cappuccino and cakes..." Yang Feiyan said, looking up.

Ten minutes later, the two of them were already in a quiet coffee shop. Yang Feiyan ordered a cup of coffee and three pieces of cake, and Zheng Yubai spent more than 100 yuan on these few things. However, he was eager to know what kind of kung fu Yang Feiyan used, and he didn't care about the pain at all.

After Yang Feiyan had enjoyed three pieces of cake, Zheng Yubai couldn't help but ask, "What kind of Kung Fu did you use?"

Yang Feiyan rolled her eyes at Zheng Yubai and said, "Are you stupid? What I used was not Kung Fu at all."

"Not kung fu?" Zheng Yubai was even more confused. He had just been thinking about Yang Feiyan's movements, but there was no trace of it. He thought Yang Feiyan had mastered the kung fu of sending power through the air, but at her age, that was simply impossible. After thinking about it, there was no clue. Zheng Yubai was completely confused.

"I never said it was kung fu." Yang Feiyan said mysteriously, "Since you are a relatively honest person, I will tell you a secret."

"What secret?" Zheng Yubai moved closer, full of excitement.

"Look at this cup." Yang Feiyan said, pointing at the empty coffee cup.

Zheng Yubai looked at the coffee cup suspiciously, not knowing what Yang Feiyan wanted him to look at, and even less knowing what the scene just now had to do with the coffee cup.

"Watch carefully." Yang Feiyan looked up and saw that there was no one around. She waved her fingers lightly, and the coffee cup on the table shook slightly and moved a few centimeters on the table.

Zheng Yubai was surprised: "Is this a telekinesis?" He had only heard of boxing that could hit a bull from a distance before, but he had never heard of telekinesis. He thought it only existed in martial arts novels, but he never thought he would see it with his own eyes.

Yang Feiyan laughed: "You fool, I'm not sending out energy from a distance, I call this a super power."

"...Super...power?" Zheng Yubai stared at Yang Feiyan. Of course he had heard of this term. There were many rumors about supernatural powers in the society, such as telekinesis and listening to words. Zheng Yubai didn't believe in these at all, because his father had been doing this kind of tricks since he was a child. In fact, they were all tricks to deceive people, and they had no value.

However, the ability Yang Feiyan showed just now was really beyond doubt. Even if the movement of the coffee cup in front of her was a trick, how did she freeze her body? Zheng Yubai had many thoughts in his mind in an instant, but he couldn't figure out whether Yang Feiyan's words were true or false.

"You don't seem to believe it." Yang Feiyan smiled and raised the spoon for stirring coffee. She held the handle of the spoon and blew on it. The spoon slowly bent down and folded into a 90-degree right angle under Zheng Yubai's wide-eyed gaze.

"Is it really a superpower?" Zheng Yubai reached out and took the spoon. He gently stroked the bent part to make sure there was nothing fishy.

"If you still don't believe it, I can punish you again." Yang Feiyan laughed.

"No need, no need, I believe you." Zheng Yubai waved his hands repeatedly. People who practice boxing have very sensitive eyes, ears and noses, and it is impossible to play tricks in front of him. The facts in front of him are very clear. Although the degree of unbelievability is far beyond the power of sending force through the air, Zheng Yubai can still be sure that Yang Feiyan is not lying.

"But I still don't quite understand what's going on." Zheng Yubai scratched his head, "Are those rumors about super powers true?"

Yang Feiyan shook her head: "Those you mentioned are all charlatans. People who really have superpowers will not use them easily. They act very low-key, for fear that others will know their abilities."

Zheng Yubai looked at her and thought to himself, you just randomly pinned me down. But considering the girl's personality and temper, it would be a wonder if she could resist not using it.

"Are there many people like you who have super powers?" Zheng Yubai asked curiously.

"My grandfather said that there are not many people with superpowers in the world, only one in a million people. Such people are called aliens." Yang Feiyan replied, "It is precisely because there are so few of them and they act in secret that they are not noticed. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos."

Zheng Yubai calculated in his mind that there are more than six billion people in the world, and one millionth is just over 6,000 people. In the context of the whole world, this number is not large. For example, Jinghai has a population of more than ten million, and there are only about ten people with superpowers like Yang Feiyan, who are distributed in the vast sea of people and are indeed inconspicuous.

"Your superpower is really powerful. If you use it in a competition, I'm afraid no one will be your opponent." Thinking of the experience of being frozen in place and unable to move at all, Zheng Yubai couldn't help but say enviously.

"How is that possible? If such a shocking thing gets out, I will be sent to the laboratory as a guinea pig." Yang Feiyan curled her lips, "Besides, my grandfather also warned me that a martial arts competition is a martial arts competition, and super powers are not allowed."

Zheng Yubai found it funny to see her confident look. She had just used her superpowers and then pretended to have forgotten it. What a troublesome girl.

"Besides, superpowers also have limitations. Do you think you can use them casually?" Yang Feiyan said again.

"Oh? There are still restrictions?" Zheng Yubai was stunned.

"Of course, first of all, you must have a good spirit and sufficient physical strength, otherwise you can't use it at all. And superpowers have a range. We, the aliens, call this range a domain. Once you exceed this range, the superpowers will not work." Yang Feiyan explained to Zheng Yubai.

"How big is your domain?"

Yang Feiyan said with a stroke of her hand: "My domain is very small, only two meters in radius, and super powers like the immobilization technique consume a lot of mental energy. I can only use it once in three days, otherwise I will fall into a coma."

"Even with so many restrictions, you're still very powerful. At least within two meters you are invincible." Zheng Yubai said.

"There are many aliens who are more powerful than me. I still need to practice more." Yang Feiyan said.

Zheng Yubai was very envious of these people with superpowers, but it was a pity that this was different from boxing. Everyone was equal in front of boxing, and as long as there was no major disability, they could benefit from hard practice. For example, martial artists such as Huo Yuanjia were weak and sickly when they were young, but after years of hard practice, they became masters of their generation. Superpowers were different. They were innate talents, and hard practice would be useless. So Zheng Yubai could only envy them, but he had no extravagant hopes.

Yang Feiyan extorted two more cakes from Zheng Yubai, and after they had eaten their fill, she told him many secrets of the aliens, which broadened Zheng Yubai's horizons and gave him a lot of insights. When his cell phone rang and his aunt urged him to go home for dinner, he suddenly realized that it was already past six in the afternoon.

"Next time you treat me to cake, I can introduce you to some of my friends who are aliens." Although she was "bullied" by Zheng Yubai in the arena today, Yang Feiyan had a good impression of this "wooden-headed goose".

Zheng Yubai also wanted to see more of the abilities of the aliens, so he readily agreed. He made an appointment with Yang Feiyan to meet on the weekend, and then went home. (To be continued)
