Zhou Xuan sighed, then flung his hand, scattering the powder from the Nine-Star Beads in his palm. A cloud of powdery mist rose, and just then, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt a movement in his left wrist. His supernatural power activated automatically, as if it had seen food. The powder scattered in the air also seemed to come alive, twisting and turning like a long, living snake. Its tip leaped towards Zhou Xuan's left hand, but upon contact, the powder snake head seemed to disappear, directly burrowing into Zhou Xuan's wrist.
Zhou Xuan was utterly bewildered, unsure of what the outcome would be, and simply allowed the supernatural power and the Nine Star Pearl powder to exchange automatically.
After the long, snake-like powder completely entered Zhou Xuan's left hand, Zhou Xuan felt that the pill in his left wrist had not grown larger or purer, but his entire body felt a burning sensation. Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell on Zhou Xuan's body. Suddenly, Zhou Xuan felt as if his skin had mouths, absorbing the sunlight into his body and transforming it into trickles of supernatural energy that flowed continuously throughout his body. The supernatural energy transformed from the sunlight surged in continuously with the endless sunlight.
In other words, Zhou Xuan is now able to directly absorb sunlight and turn it into a superpower because of the Nine Star Pearl powder. This is different from his previous ability to absorb the sun and all heat energy and convert it into solar flames. It is also much more advanced. The solar energy he absorbs now is directly converted into a combined superpower, rather than simply a solar flame ability.
This essentially turned Zhou Xuan into an inexhaustible source of energy, provided he was in the sunlight and on a sunny day. The sunlight made him like a generator, providing a continuous flow of energy as long as the generator was running.
Wei Xiaoyu stood there dumbfounded, wondering what kind of strange phenomenon this was. Seeing Zhou Xuan standing there motionless, she didn't dare to disturb him, for fear of causing confusion.
The supernatural heat within Zhou Xuan's body gathered more and more, gradually forming a river that enveloped the supernatural pill and circulated throughout his meridians. This further strengthened Zhou Xuan's already solid and unobstructed meridians. A jolt ran through Zhou Xuan's mind; as the supernatural energy opened up his meridians, the blocked nerves in his brain were suddenly cleared. The supernatural energy flowed through his mind, and his lost memories flowed like a clear, gentle stream, completely recovering.
Zhou Xuan watched his past like a movie, and the agonizing pain surged up in his heart again. Through his blurred vision, Fu Ying's image filled his mind and eyes. Only then did he realize how deeply he had hurt Fu Ying and how unforgivable it was.
When Wei Xiaoyu saw Zhou Xuan stand there in the strange vision for a while, then suddenly burst into tears, she was stunned and asked in a flustered manner, "Zhou Xuan... what's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head, covering his face with his hands, but tears still seeped through his fingers. Fu Ying's deep affection, Fu Ying's image, Fu Ying's pain—everything filled his mind, causing him unbearable agony.
Everything had already been made in a terrible way. Running away from home could still be salvaged, but the fact that he was already married to Wei Xiaoyu and that Wei Xiaoyu was pregnant with his child was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, and it was still twisting him violently.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan suddenly understood why Fu Ying had been so heartbroken and despondent. It turned out that Fu Ying had also realized the situation was beyond repair; she no longer had the will to live. That's why she left the room, wanting him and Wei Xiaoyu to live on.
Poor Yingying, she doesn't want to live anymore.
The thought of Fu Ying made Zhou Xuan shudder. He jumped to his feet and rushed straight out. Wei Xiaoyu quickly chased after him, exclaiming, "Where...where are you going?"
Zhou Xuan glanced back at her, his eyes somewhat indifferent, and pointed at her, saying, "You, don't follow me."
Wei Xiaoyu was startled. Looking at Zhou Xuan's indifferent yet resolute eyes, her heart sank, but it couldn't sink to the bottom. What's wrong with Zhou Xuan?
However, Wei Xiaoyu dared not follow any further. At this moment, Zhou Xuan terrified her, a fear that was inexplicable.
Zhou Xuan then turned and ran off again. Wei Xiaoyu stared blankly at his retreating figure, wondering what had suddenly happened to Zhou Xuan. Logically speaking, only if Zhou Xuan had regained his memories would he have such a look in his eyes; otherwise…
Memory… Wei Xiaoyu was suddenly startled. Could it be that Zhou Xuan had regained his memory just now because of the Nine Star Pearl powder?
It's absolutely possible. The Nine-Star Pearl itself is a high-tech product of an extraterrestrial civilization, and its abilities are naturally beyond her comprehension. It wouldn't be surprising if it could restore Zhou Xuan's memories.
With a heart full of anguish, Zhou Xuan pressed the elevator button, but the elevator was still on the top floor. He didn't want to wait even a second longer. In a fit of rage, he punched the elevator button to pieces and then ran down the adjacent staircase.
This was the seventeenth floor. Zhou Xuan didn't even glance at anything else and ran straight down the stairs, floor by floor, until he reached the bottom floor. He then dashed out of the hotel lobby, where the receptionist and other guests stared at him in astonishment.
Zhou Xuan naturally rushed out of the hotel without hesitation, but he couldn't find Fu Ying anywhere on the street. His supernatural ability detected no trace of Fu Ying or Li Wei within dozens of meters of him.
Overwhelmed with anger and rage, Zhou Xuan's eyes burned red, as if he wanted to tear the world apart. At this moment, nothing was more important than Yingying.
Honestly, despite making such a grave mistake, Zhou Xuan still harbored no hatred for Wei Xiaoyu. Although Wei Xiaoyu had deceived him and caused such a serious error, ultimately, she only liked him and didn't intend to harm him. Zhou Xuan's current feelings towards Wei Xiaoyu were simply that he didn't want to think about her, didn't want to see her again, and even wished he could regain his amnesia and completely forget her.
But no matter what, he couldn't get back the feelings Fu Ying had for him. Where was Yingying? Where was his Yingying now?
Just as Zhou Xuan was looking around blankly, a silver Austin screeched to a halt on the side of the road beside him, and the tinted windows slowly rolled down.
Before even seeing the people inside the car, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura emanating from him, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
The car window rolled down, revealing a huge man with a large head and a burly build. He was sitting down; if he stood up, who knows what he would look like.
The burly man wore dark sunglasses, so Zhou Xuan couldn't see his eyes, and his supernatural abilities couldn't detect anything about his body.
A dangerous aura emanated from him. Zhou Xuan stared intently at him, unsure of his intentions or his connection to Fu Ying.
The burly man glanced at Zhou Xuan, grinned, and said, "Mr. Zhou, please."
This big man was clearly not an Easterner, but he spoke Chinese. However, Zhou Xuan could also clearly hear that the big man's Chinese was extremely stiff, as if it were a foreign language translated by a computer software.
"Why should I get in your car?" Zhou Xuan said coldly.
The burly man chuckled, and at that moment, Zhou Xuan felt a sinister glint emanating from his sunglasses, which unsettled him.
"If Mr. Zhou doesn't get on the bus, I guarantee that a Miss Fu Ying and a Mr. Li Wei will be instantly reduced to ashes," the burly man said with a wicked smile.

Chapter 508 Strange Beasts (Part 1)
Zhou Xuan's eyes narrowed, all his sorrow and tears vanishing in that instant, his gaze fixed intently on the burly man.
The burly man stretched out his arms and immediately said, "Get in the car."
Without hesitation, Zhou Xuan bent down and climbed into the car. Only when he sat down did he realize the difference between himself and the big man. Even sitting down, he was almost a head shorter than the big man.
The burly man spoke in a low voice to the driver in front, who immediately started the car and drove at a very high speed.
Zhou Xuan used his superpower to quickly scan the entire car. The car was not modified and did not contain any superpowers, so it was perfectly normal. However, the driver in front was in the same situation as the three assassins that Zhou Xuan had detected before. He could clearly see the driver's appearance, but under his superpower detection, he only got a humanoid white mist. On the driver, Zhou Xuan also detected superpowered pistol bullets.
These were indeed people from the Butcher's Hands. However, Zhou Xuan did not expect that these people would find him so quickly. Presumably, the two assassins he killed in the woods were not acting alone.
The driver was on the same level as the assassins Zhou Xuan had encountered before. He didn't have any superpowers, but because he possessed superpowered firearms, their lethality was extremely high. Even though Zhou Xuan's superpowers were strong, dealing with these superpowered bullets was not easy. If the other party gained the upper hand and fired repeatedly, Zhou Xuan would not be able to handle it.
The only chance is for Zhou Xuan to strike first. If the other party doesn't have a chance to fire, Zhou Xuan will have an absolute advantage.
However, what Zhou Xuan needed to consider now was that the burly man sitting next to him was the most dangerous and unpredictable opponent.
This burly man, Zhou Xuan, could not detect any physical form or substance using his special abilities. It was like a golden stone; his inner eye could see the form, but his special abilities could not detect it at all.
From this, Zhou Xuan knew that this burly man was the real formidable figure in Tu's hands. Regardless of whether he possessed superpowers, he was no ordinary person. Sitting next to him now, Zhou Xuan felt as if he were sitting next to a snarling, drooling beast. That chilling feeling hadn't dissipated since the moment he boarded the vehicle.
Zhou Xuan had a hunch that this burly man wasn't a person, but a wild beast—a very strange feeling.
