Grace Clark was still filled with shock at this moment. Just now, it seemed he had copied Square-faced Man's ability into his own body. He clearly remembered the sensation—after their bodies touched, a surge of power welled up from within him, circled once inside Square-faced Man's body...

It seemed that, due to the arrival of his soul, this body had also undergone some changes.

He had awakened a supernatural power, and his ability was—to copy other people's abilities!

This kind of power was useless on Earth. He had no abilities of his own and could only copy others. If no one else had abilities, he would always be an ordinary person.

But here, it was different. This was a world filled with countless people possessing supernatural powers.

Was there any ability more impressive than this?

However, Grace Clark still didn't know whether this ability could be used only once, or twice, three times, or—countless times?

Grace Clark still needed to find another ability user to verify it.

From his earlier experiment, Grace Clark knew that when he copied an ability, the other person was completely unaware.

However, as he had just arrived and wasn't yet fully familiar with this place, he could only wait for Square-faced Man to return. And this wait lasted a full two hours.

Two hours later, Square-faced Man stood outside the The Clark Residence gate, craning his neck and peering inside. Just then, a voice that made him tremble came from behind.

"David Harris."

David Harris shuddered, then turned his head. After taking two steps back, he cautiously asked, "Young master, what is it?"

Grace Clark looked at him and asked, "Besides you, do you know of anyone else who has awakened supernatural powers?"

After what had just happened, David Harris was clearly keeping his distance from Grace Clark. He thought for a moment and said, "Most people who awaken supernatural powers are recruited by the court to serve as retainers..."

As for the court's retainers, Grace Clark had no way to reach them. Even if he could, he had no suitable reason to maintain prolonged physical contact with them.

However, although the court had recruited many who had awakened supernatural powers, not all of them were taken in.

One possibility was that their awakened abilities were too useless to be valued by the court.

For example, in Daming Prefecture, there was once a young boy who awakened a power that accelerated his own aging. A ten-year-old boy, after awakening, died of old age at home in less than half a month.

In Ningshan Prefecture, there was a young woman who, at sixteen, awakened an ability that made her hair fall out. A beautiful girl in her prime, from then on, was left bald.

It was said that in the Great Luo Dynasty, a man, after awakening his power, could emit light from his body under sunlight, but in the absence of sunlight, he was no different from an ordinary person.

Although these were unusual abilities, they were practically useless. It would have been better not to awaken at all—at least then, one could live peacefully as an ordinary person.

The second possibility for those who awakened supernatural powers but were not recruited by the court was people like David Harris, who awakened too late and lacked talent, with limited potential for future growth. The court would not waste time and resources on them.

In fact, Grace Clark also belonged to this second category. Although he had awakened a supernatural power, his ability was still very weak—far inferior even to David Harris, and even less comparable to the famous prodigies among the youths of the capital.

He could only copy others' abilities, not their strength. For example, at this moment, although Grace Clark was much stronger than an ordinary person, he was still nowhere near David Harris's level.

David Harris asked in confusion, "Young master, why are you looking for these people?"

Grace Clark waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just curious."

David Harris scratched his head, as if remembering something, and said, "I heard others say that there's a girl at Pin Fang Pavilion who can supposedly understand the language of beasts, but I don't know if it's true or not..."

If someone claimed to understand animals, it was actually hard to tell if it was true, since no one else understood beast language and there was no way to verify it with the animals.

However, for Grace Clark, whether it was true or not, he could find out with a single touch.

Eager to verify his own ability, Grace Clark didn't want to wait another moment. He stood up and said, "Let's go, to Pin Fang Pavilion!"

David Harris looked stunned. "Young master, are you sure?"

Grace Clark was absolutely certain. Until he figured out his own ability, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Before long—

Grace Clark stood in front of Pin Fang Pavilion and finally understood why David Harris had that expression earlier. Pin Fang Pavilion was a brothel. Several flirtatious courtesans were standing at the entrance, their clothes half-revealing, swaying their hips to attract customers.

David Harris's gaze swept over the scantily clad courtesans, and he secretly swallowed, once again saying to Grace Clark, "Young master, I advise you not to go in. If the master finds out, both you and I are finished..."

"If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, who would know?" Grace Clark glanced at him and said, "Just wait for me outside. I'll be out in a moment."

With that, he stepped through the doors of Pin Fang Pavilion.

David Harris leaned against the wall outside, muttering, "A moment... Young master, that fast?"
