"Hahaha, one more time? Don't get wiped out again!" Wu Cheng slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.
"Stop nagging!" Wei Leyang. "I was just careless. I'll be more careful this time!"
"You were careless! Why didn't you say you didn't dodge? I think..."
Shen Heng stood to the side, silently watching the two making a scene.
He, too, hadn't expected the battle to end that way.
In his view, Wei Leyang, who knew his information, should use his Origin Power to protect him, so he deliberately increased the force.
Who would have thought...
Well, this is good too; at least it confirms some information for myself.
Although it's difficult to kill the enemy directly with one's own abilities, the effect in actual combat is surprisingly good.
You could have simply not used it at first, but instead, when you got close to the other person, suddenly attacked them, causing them to lose consciousness.
Although it only lasts a short time, just two or three seconds, it's more than enough time for me to finish off the enemy.
Well... it's not without its flaws.
This can only be used against targets who don't know your information, and whose defenses can't be too high.
If they knew my information, they would use their Origin Power to protect their brain, and then I wouldn't be able to achieve the intended effect.
If your defense is too high, even if you knock the opponent unconscious, if you can't kill them immediately, you'll still have to rely on direct combat later on.
"Hey, Shen Heng, let's do it again!"
Wei Leyang's cries awakened Shen Heng.
He glanced at Wei Leyang, then nodded.
"Okay, let's do it one more time!"
Seeing Shen Heng agree, Wei Leyang smiled and quickly turned to the side and called out.
"Captain, I'll need you to call 'Battle Begins' again later!"
Wang Hai nodded with a stern face, looking at Wei Leyang with a serious expression.
Noticing the seriousness in his captain's eyes, Wei Leyang subconsciously took a deep breath.
We absolutely have to be serious this time, or we're doomed.
The two sides widened the distance again.
Shen Heng stood still, holding the wooden sword, his gaze calmly fixed on Wei Leyang in the distance.
Even though he knew that Wei Leyang was on guard this time and that he would most likely lose, Shen Heng didn't care.
More than winning or losing, he cares about whether he has gained something and grown, after all...
"We can't expect our future enemies to be unaware of our intelligence!"
With Wang Hai's shout of "Battle begins!", Shen Heng once again charged towards Wei Leyang.
More than ten minutes later.
Wei Leyang looked at the figure hanging in mid-air not far in front of him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He found Shen Heng to be unexpectedly difficult to deal with, not at all like someone who had only entered the Tier 2 less than a month ago.
At the very beginning of the battle, he manipulated the silk threads, trying to entangle Shen Heng, but Shen Heng dodged them each time.
Then he tried to get closer to Shen Heng, but his head would be Sound Wave Attack from time to time.
Although he was only momentarily dazed because he had used his Origin Power to protect his head.
However, the result of his dazed state was that he found it difficult to organize an effective attack against Shen Heng, while Shen Heng was unable to get close to him because he spent too much time in a daze.
The two sides were thus locked in a stalemate.
In the end, he had laid some silk threads around himself beforehand, and since Shen Heng's Sound Wave Attack was ineffective, he could only try close combat, which allowed him to take the opportunity to entangle himself with the silk threads.
Otherwise, this battle might drag on.
Fortunately, I finally won.
Wei Leyang wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at the person beside him, and smiled:
"See, I told you I could win!"
"You were just defeated in one move!" Wu Cheng said.
"I told you I was careless just now. If I'm serious this time, I'll win, right?"
You were just killed in one move!
"I..."
You were just killed in one move!
"Heh, heh heh..." Wei Leyang raised his hand to cover his face, lowered his head and chuckled coldly, "I can no longer find a reason for you to exist in this world!"
Shen Heng looked at the scene before him with some helplessness. He raised his wooden knife and scraped the silk thread twice.
I said, "Could you put me down first?"
Wei Leyang then realized what was happening and quickly put Shen Heng down.
The people nearby also came over at this moment.
Wang Hai looked at Shen Heng, recalling the battle they had just fought, and asked:
"Your physical abilities seem to be more than just those of someone who has just entered the Second Tier."
"Yeah, people would believe you if you said you only half-finished your Blood Tempering." Han Ling nodded in agreement.
The remaining three looked at Shen Heng with similar confusion.
Among them, Wei Leyang was the most confused. As the person who directly fought against Shen Heng, he understood best how difficult Shen Heng was to deal with.
"I've developed a technique called 'Flow,' which can maintain the overall enhancement of the body to a small extent," Shen Heng replied.
"Flow? It can also maintain the enhancement of the whole body? Is Martial World Easy Exchange? What level was it rated at, and how many points did it have? We'll patronize your business when the time comes!" Hearing that Shen Heng had actually developed a technique himself, Han Ling's eyes lit up.
The people around him also looked at Shen Heng with some surprise.
This was truly a novelty at the Linhai Supervision Bureau; it was the first time such a thing had happened.
"No need to worry about business, my skill requires Fourth Tier to master," Shen Heng said.
Han Ling opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but Shen Heng, as if anticipating her words, spoke first:
"My abilities can lower the difficulty of mastering this technique, but normal people still need to reach the Fourth Tier to learn it."
Han Ling didn't quite understand what he was saying, but she could only nod.
Beside him, Wu Cheng was already browsing on his phone on Martial World Easy Exchange. Soon, a gasp of surprise rang out from inside the room.
" B-Class? 3500 points?!"
Third floor.
Wang Hai's office.
Shen Heng followed Wang Hai inside.
Wang Hai took a black board out of the cabinet.
That was an ability level test board made from the shell of Lizard-Shelled Turtle that Shen Heng had seen before.
"Give it a try and see what level your Ability Evolution." Wang Hai handed over the ability level test board.
Shen Heng nodded and took the test board, then channeled his Origin Power into it.
Soon, a faint yellow light appeared on the test panel.
Shen Heng calmly watched the colors that lit up on the test panel.
The abilities are divided into seven levels: SF. Therefore, when the Research Department was developing the test board, they set seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—based on the Lizard-Shelled Turtle's shell's reaction to the abilities.
Yellow is the third one from the top, which corresponds to the third to last level in the ability ranking system.
" Sound Wave Manipulation, D-Class, is that it...?"
As Shen Heng had predicted, his Ability Evolution, which could be roughly judged from the power of his ability...
Shen Heng glanced at Wang Hai, who was updating his information profile on the computer, then sat down across from him at the desk and waited.
After the captain finished dealing with the situation, Shen Heng finally spoke and asked:
"Captain, after the Ability Evolution, does the level increase gradually, or is it still based on luck?"
