Magic Hair

"Ah!"

A scream woke up everyone in Huang Wen's tent.

Yang Xiao was right next door. When he heard the scream, he grabbed his black sword, kicked down the wooden partition, and rushed over.

Then, he saw Huang Wen and the others surrounding a fat, tall girl. He did not know what was going on.

"What's happening?"

Yang Xiao asked nervously. He looked around but did not see anything unusual.

Huang Wen spoke up, "Look, how did Chubby's hair grow so long overnight?"

The fat girl was nicknamed Chubby.

Chubby stood up. She was 1.68 meters tall, and her black hair fell all the way to the ground. It was at least two meters long.

When Yang Xiao saw this, he also sucked in a breath of cold air. Suddenly, a thought struck him and he said, "Did you drink the eel soup last night and feel a tingling electric current in your body?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

Chubby nodded and looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and comforted, "Don't be afraid. This is a good thing. You may have mutated."

"Mutated?"

All the girls looked at Yang Xiao.

"Yes, according to what the Gene Store owner Gu Bo said, Earth has entered the end times. All living things will mutate, including us humans. To be honest, I mutated a long time ago, which is why I've become so powerful."

After speaking, under everyone's surprised gazes, Yang Xiao casually picked up a broken brick from the ground and gently squeezed it into powder with one hand.

Chubby was stunned and said, "But what's the use of my hair growing longer? I don't have time to take care of such long hair every day. It gets in the way when I walk."

"Hehe, you've just started mutating. You still need to use your mind to experience the changes in your body. How about this? Try using your consciousness to control your hair to become shorter, returning it to its usual length..."

Yang Xiao shared some of his understanding and experiences with Chubby based on his own knowledge. After listening, Chubby seemed deep in thought. She tried a few times, and suddenly, with a whoosh, the over two-meter-long hair shortened and returned to its original shoulder-length style.

At this, the surrounding girls exclaimed.

"Good, Chubby, do you see that steel pipe on the ground in front of you?"

Yang Xiao pointed to the steel pipe on the ground two meters away. It was the girls' weapon, placed on the ground before going to sleep.

"Yes, I see it."

"Alright, now use your consciousness to control your hair to coil up the steel pipe on the ground and pull it in front of you."

"Okay, I'll try."

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Chubby began trying hard. After more than ten attempts, her black hair seemed to take on a life of its own as it floated out, coiled up the steel pipe on the ground, and brought it to her hand.

This time, Chubby was extremely happy.

Yang Xiao touched Chubby's mutated hair and found it extremely tough, cold as iron wire.

He had someone bring over his watermelon knife. First, he gently cut it, but there was no reaction. Then he tried cutting forcefully, but still could not cut through it.

"Congratulations, your hair has become as hard as iron after mutating. If I'm not wrong, your hair will continue growing until you finish mutating."

"As hard as iron? It'll keep growing?"

Everyone looked at Yang Xiao.

Chubby was stunned for a moment and said, "Other than picking things up, what else can this hair do?"

"Hehe, it has great uses, but you'll need more practice and experience. For example, using your hair to suddenly coil around someone and fling them into the sky."

"Wow, it can be that powerful?"

Chubby's eyes lit up.

Because of her fat figure, she had always been discriminated against by boys. Although the girls didn't discriminate against her, they still treated her a bit like a child. Her grades were average, so under her usual happy exterior, she actually hid an inferiority complex.

If she had now mutated and gained superpowers, she would gain more confidence and earn others' respect.

"First try using your hair to wrap around Huang Wen, then use your consciousness to shake her violently."

Huang Wen was stunned and glared at Yang Xiao. "Why me? You should do it, You're our boss and the only boy."

Chen Lu, Chen Fei, and the others also chimed in.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to stand about two meters away from Chubby.

"Chubby, come on."

Chubby did not stand on ceremony. With a thought, her demonic hair floated out and wrapped directly around Yang Xiao's waist. Then she exerted force and flung him to the side.

In that instant, Yang Xiao felt he was going to end up in tragedy. He shouted, "Gently!"

But it was too late already. Since it was Chubby's first time using her power, she didn't know how to control her strength.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Yang Xiao was flung out of the tent by Chubby and smashed onto the ground.

Huang Wen and the others cried out in alarm and ran toward Yang Xiao lying on the ground.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Don't...don't touch me. Let me take my time. Ow, my butt, my waist..."

Yang Xiao groaned.

With Yang Xiao's current reaction speed and strength, he could have dodged Chubby's attack or grabbed her hair with one hand and pulled her over to subdue her.

However, in order to train Chubby's magic hair, he did not consider counterattacking at all. What's more, who could have imagined Chubby's magic hair would be so powerful? He had thought it would be good if Chubby could just pull him, and had not expected to be flung away.

Huang Wen looked worried and asked anxiously, "Boss, are you alright? Don't scare us. We're all counting on you."

Yang Xiao waved his hand. "Don't worry, I won't die."

Having realized she now had such powerful mutant abilities that she could actually fling the Boss away, Chubby was extremely excited. She ran over and looked at Yang Xiao lying on the ground, laughing heartlessly. "Boss, let's do it again. Train a few more times. I feel I can use even more strength."

When Yang Xiao heard that, he immediately closed his eyes and collapsed on the ground, pretending to be dead.

"D*mn, who dares marry this fat woman in the future!"

Huang Wen and the other girls burst into laughter.

After Yang Xiao's body mutated, he was strong and muscular. Although thrown by Chubby, there was no major harm done. After a while he got up and told Chubby to go find a target on the empty ground to practice controlling her hair.

Chubby was as excited as a child. Accompanied by two girls, she went off to practice.

"Thank goodness, we finally have a Chubby!"

Huang Wen was a little excited. This meant that girls like her would have the ability to fight against mutated creatures in the future, and would no longer be bullied by boys.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Ask around carefully to see if anyone else feels their body mutating. Who felt a tingling electric current inside after drinking the eel soup last night?"

Huang Wen was stunned and said, "Me? Before going to sleep last night, I felt a tingling feeling inside my body, like something was crawling around inside."

"Me too," Chen Fei and Chen Lu said at the same time.
