Lin Fei quietly sensed the anomalous energy growing within his body.
He hadn't expected that just now—almost by sheer coincidence—by firmly affirming his belief, his anomalous energy value would jump by 0.1 black holes.
In the original story, after Huo Linfei obtained the Anomalous Energy Lock, his anomalous energy only rose to 0.2 black holes, barely enough to perform Super Beast Armament—and even then, it took two full days.
But Lin Fei wanted to be faster.
Of course, he also knew this surge was largely due to chance.
It was the combination of his own belief and the belief stabilization brought by the fusion template that allowed such a large increase during such an ordinary moment.
From now on, though, improvement would require real combat—tempering himself through battle to raise his anomalous energy further.
One thing worth noting was that after reaching 0.2 black holes, Lin Fei no longer needed to rely on tricks like Dragon Halberd's dual ice-and-fire heavens or forced anomalous-energy condensation.
He could now perform Super Beast Armament on his own!
Activating Super Beast mode had been his childhood dream.
Anyone who'd watched Super Beast Armament as a kid—who hadn't imagined crossing one hand over their chest, slamming the ground with a palm—
A massive formation appearing as they entered Super Beast mode?!
Lin Fei was already looking forward to the scene when he would face gluttons and demons, activating Super Beast mode in battle.
With his talent, continuing to raise his anomalous energy in future fights—
Super Beast? Starcloud?!
While Lin Fei's thoughts raced ahead, Duka'ao finished processing the information Lin Fei had revealed.
"Mr. Lin Fei, then… are there many Super Beast Warriors?"
"If you're talking numbers," Lin Fei said calmly, folding his arms, then raising one finger,
"not many. Each universe has only one Super Beast Warrior."
"?"
What did that mean?
Did he mean there were other universes beyond theirs?
Or that in the known universe, Lin Fei was the only Super Beast Warrior?
Duka'ao could only feel that Lin Fei was speaking nonsense.
But no matter how one looked at it—
The fact that De诺 No.3 had no records of Lin Fei's unknown energy or genes, and couldn't analyze them at all—
Meant that Lin Fei's genetic level was certainly extraordinarily powerful, even if it fell short of Principal Kieran's three great god-making projects.
And judging by Lin Fei's attitude…
"Heh heh heh… so, Mr. Lin Fei, does that mean you're on our side?" Duka'ao asked.
"Mm. More or less," Lin Fei thought for a moment, then nodded.
"That's great!" Duka'ao clapped excitedly.
"Our Supergod Academy has already begun preparations to resist the Void Gluttons' invasion."
"But our Super Soldiers are still immature and need training. If Mr. Lin Fei joins us, our chances of victory in future battles will increase dramatically!"
His tone grew increasingly impassioned.
Lin Fei, however, looked at him strangely.
"What are you talking about? I don't remember saying I'd join you."
"…Huh?"
Duka'ao froze.
He hurriedly continued,
"Our Supergod Academy has vast resources and advanced technology—it's Blue Star's main force against the gluttons!"
"Joining us would help you grow stronger faster, and in the future you could fight alongside other Super Soldiers to resist the gluttons!"
"Mr. Lin Fei, joining Supergod Academy would be a win–win situation!"
"You make it sound pretty reasonable," Lin Fei nodded.
"Then—"
Duka'ao's face lit up.
Before he could finish, Lin Fei raised a finger, waved it lightly, and curved his lips into a smile.
"But what I, Lin Fei, like most—
is saying no to people who think they know best!"
Duka'ao had deliberately not sent A'Jie, that pie-in-the-sky salesman, and had come to meet him personally.
Lin Fei knew exactly what this old fox was thinking.
The academy hadn't even formed its army yet, and he already wanted to pull Lin Fei into Supergod Academy.
Lin Fei had no goodwill toward that place at all.
They let Rui Mengmeng and Su Xiaoli suffer countless hardships, yet indulged Liu Chuang and Liu Wen's crimes.
As for the so-called "abundant resources" Duka'ao mentioned—weren't those all supplied by the Sun Star?
Without that backing, Supergod Academy would be poorer than even Mogana, the poorest known god in the universe.
Mogana might've been hunted by angels like a rat in a sewer, but at least she could still roam the cosmos.
Supergod Academy, on the other hand, was stuck on Blue Star.
"And besides," Lin Fei added calmly,
"who said joining Supergod Academy is the only way to grow stronger quickly?"
"Th-this…"
Duka'ao faltered.
"Mr. Lin Fei, why not reconsider? We can—"
He tried to continue persuading him.
After all, A'Jie had been his subordinate back in De诺, and most of those smooth-talking techniques had been learned from Duka'ao himself.
But before he could fully deploy his rhetorical skills, Lin Fei cut him off decisively.
"All in all, joining is not happening."
"Don't think about it anymore."
"When the gluttons arrive, I'll naturally take action."
Duka'ao opened his mouth, wanting to say more—but Lin Fei's attitude was firm.
Pushing further would only provoke his displeasure.
In the end, Duka'ao sighed.
"Since that's the case, and Mr. Lin Fei has no intention of joining, I won't force the issue."
"I'll look forward to cooperating with you in the future."
"Supergod Academy's layout is carefully planned. Since you're already here, Mr. Lin Fei, why not take a better look around?"
From that point on, Duka'ao no longer mentioned recruitment.
Instead, he guided Lin Fei around the academy, explaining its facilities and buildings, laughter occasionally breaking out along the way.
"This, Mr. Lin Fei, is our training ground."
After touring the teaching buildings and other areas, they arrived at a large open field.
Fences surrounded the area.
Basketball hoops stood on both sides, and the markings of a basketball court were painted on the ground.
Only—the area was far larger than a normal court.
Lin Fei sized it up.
"Isn't this just a basketball court?"
"When Super Soldiers get tired from training, do they come play basketball?"
"Or maybe do a rap performance on the side and debut as idols?"
"Uh, hehe…"
Duka'ao chuckled awkwardly, gesturing toward the brightly lit field.
"And besides, this ground isn't ordinary. It's reinforced with high-density, ultra-hard composite materials—perfect for sparring and training."
"And in your free time, if you're interested, you can also play basketball to relax."
At that moment—
Weiwei, who'd been standing to the side, looked at Lin Fei.
"Lin Fei, want to try feeling the quality of the ground?"
