Chapter 058: The Batmobile

What kind of person Wu Zetian was, Wang Bo was not entirely sure, but he had a general understanding.

Even if this is a world of martial arts, it cannot change Wu Zetian's character; Wang Bo would not believe a single word that comes out of this woman's mouth.

Still, seeing how diligently the other party had served him, Wang Bo felt it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.

In any case, for myself, this was not a difficult matter.

So Wang Bo made a promise, and Wu Zetian was fully satisfied. She then served Wang Bo once more, and before daybreak, with Lian Nishang's help, she secretly returned to the imperial palace.

After daybreak, as Wang Bo was having breakfast, Lian Nishang returned once more.

"Would you like some?" Wang Boke politely invited.

Lian Nishang nodded without ceremony, then sat down in front of Wang Bo. After the two enjoyed a delicious breakfast, they set off together, riding a single horse as they left Luoyang.

The reason they rode a single horse was because Wang Bo did not know how to ride. Fortunately, Lian Nishang was a daughter of the jianghu—the martial world—and would not fuss over such things; as long as Wang Bo did not deliberately take advantage of her, she would absolutely not fall out with him.

They were now heading to Anzhou to find Li Zhen, who had raised an army in rebellion.

The main reason Wang Bo wanted to bring Lian Nishang along was that he was not very familiar with the roads of ancient times and had no idea where Anzhou was.

Fortunately, Lian Nishang had traveled widely and was very familiar with the terrain of the realm. Although the place names of the Qing dynasty might differ from those of the Tang, after looking at a map, Lian Nishang had their destination clearly in mind.

After the two left Luoyang, they rode their horses for a stretch of road. Wang Bo, finding the horses too slow for travel, called a halt.

Lian Nishang reined in her horse, turned her head, and asked, "Why call a halt?"

“This pace is too slow,” Wang Bo said.

Lian Nishang said calmly, “These are already the fastest horses. Unless you can fly, there’s no way you can outrun them.”

Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh. "I may not be able to fly, but I can be even faster."

Lian Nishang looked at Wang Bo with astonishment and asked, “What method do you have?”

Wang Bo dismounted, then pulled the Batmobile out of his four-dimensional pocket. He had barely had a chance to play with it since acquiring it, but now at last an opportunity had come.

Lian Nishang stared blankly at the Batmobile, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then touched it. The cold sensation told her that this was definitely no illusion.

"You, you, you..."

"What are you stammering about? Get in the car." Wang Bo paid no mind to Lian Nishang's expression.

In fact, she had seen this expression far too many times; it was no longer novel to her now.

Lian Nishang, looking utterly bewildered, was pushed into the car by Wang Bo and found herself in the passenger seat. Wang Bo sat in the driver's seat, closed the door, gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand, and pointed ahead with the other, saying, "This is the way to Anzhou, right?"

Lian Nishang nodded.

Wang Bo nodded, stomped the accelerator to the floor, and the Batmobile immediately let out a low, wild roar.

The next second, the Batmobile shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Swift as the wind and quick as lightning!

The Batmobile was not only flashy, but its performance exceeded all expectations—zero to a hundred kilometers per hour in absolutely under one second, and after that the speed just kept soaring.

Wang Bo floored the accelerator, the engine roaring madly, and after a few seconds, the speed had already exceeded three hundred miles per hour.

Lian Nishang could clearly feel a powerful force pushing her back into the seat, while at the same time, within her field of vision, the scenery on both sides crazily retreated backward at an ultra-fast speed.

She could feel herself surging forward, surging, surging ahead at an unbelievable speed.

This speed surpassed her own qinggong, surpassed horses, surpassed carriages, and surpassed her own imagination.

Lian Nishang had never known that such a fast vehicle existed in the world.

“What exactly is this?” Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked Wang Bo.

Wang Bo drove while replying, "A car, a brand-new means of transportation."

"Automobile?" Lian Nishang silently noted the name, then asked, "Why do you have such a thing?"

"Why wouldn't I have such a thing?" Wang Bo countered.

Lian Nishang: ...

Wang Bo looked at the speechless Lian Nishang and, seizing the moment, voiced the doubt in his heart: “I have a question I want to ask you, and I hope you won’t mind. Is the ghost of Yin Ruiji still inside your body?”

Lian Nishang glared fiercely at Wang Bo, seemingly unwilling to answer the question, and turned her head to look ahead.

Wang Bo shrugged, having asked for a snub. Since the other party was unwilling to answer, he would not press. After all, he was merely curious whether Yin Ruiji had transmigrated or not.

If Yin Ruiji transmigrates, perhaps I can still see her soul in another world in the future.

"Still here."

"What?" Wang Bo couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Yin Ruiji's soul is still inside her body," Lian Nishang replied.

So, you now share one body with two souls?

“That's right.”

Wang Bo let out an "Oh," then asked again, "So can you communicate? Can you talk to each other?"

"We can," said Lian Nishang. "We often exclaim in wonder. Even now, we are conversing. Just now, Yin Ruiji wanted me to ask you: Are you a celestial immortal? Is the automobile your magical artifact?"

"No," Wang Bo shook his head.

Lian Nishang smiled faintly. “I thought as much.”

But Wang Bo said, "Although I am not an immortal now, I might become one in the future."

If Wang Bo truly became a superman, calling him a god among men would be no exaggeration at all.

If Wang Bo could become the Golden Superman, that would be awesome.

Golden Superman is an existence even more powerful than Superman. Superman's most powerful period should be the Silver Age. The feats of Silver Age Superman include destroying a star system with a sneeze, linking planets with chains and then dragging a long string of planets in flight, pushing the Earth back into orbit with his breath, flying at near-infinite speed, and frequently and suddenly manifesting incredible new abilities—so powerful as to become boring.

But compared to Golden Superman, these are far inferior.

Golden Superman possesses fifth-dimensional knowledge and abilities: creating life out of thin air, altering reality, omniscience, omnipotence, the ability to appear anywhere at any time, invulnerability, X-ray vision that sees through any object, heat vision that melts everything—these are all his powers.

And above the Golden Superman, there is also the Thought Superman. In a sense, the Thought Superman is already a deity at the multiverse level.

But Wang Bo is still countless miles—hundreds of thousands of miles—away from that level.

Whether he can become a Golden Superman in his lifetime is still an unknown.

In the DC multiverse, there aren't many Supermen who can become Golden Superman.
