Shen Heng glanced at the others, then pondered the question of who would be the top two in combat training.
I'm afraid I'll have a hard time getting into the top two in combat training.
It doesn't matter whether you fight the instructor or anyone else.
Fighting the instructors, you can't really use your abilities.
If I were to fight against other people, I might be able to take advantage of their lack of knowledge about my abilities and launch a surprise attack to win a couple of matches at the beginning.
But it's only useful at the beginning; once others know your information, it becomes much harder to win.
Does this mean I can only pin my hopes on this last project?
"What will the other instructor teach?" Cao Mingyu asked.
After pondering for a long time, no conclusion was reached.
Now one instructor teaches them physical training, and another instructor teaches them actual combat.
They couldn't immediately think of any area where they still needed training.
Shen Heng looked at the shimmering soy milk in the bowl and slowly said:
"We'll probably have to wait until the instructors come out to know..."
afternoon.
Shen Heng sat in a classroom.
The rest of the students were scattered around in other parts of the classroom.
Ahead of them, a short-haired young man in a white uniform was giving a lecture.
According to Instructor Chang, what they need to learn is not only physical strength, but also intelligence.
"Like I said before, don't think you're superior just because you've awakened some abilities."
"Your abilities aren't everything, but being a fool is absolutely useless."
Many abilities have a compatibility issue.
"For example, everyone knows that you can't use fire at sea, but what's easily overlooked is that you can't use lightning either!"
"If you use lightning, water conducts electricity, which could easily cause other people to get electrocuted as well!"
"Also, the ability to Gigantification is difficult to use in cities."
Does it still have the ability to Gigantification?... Shen Heng listened with great interest.
On stage, Yan Yu continued speaking:
"The ability to Gigantification makes it virtually impossible to conceal one's presence in a city, making one easily detectable."
"Furthermore, it's difficult for people with abilities to move around in the city; they often get trapped in narrow streets or cause damage to buildings."
"Teacher!" a female voice rang out in the classroom.
Shen Heng looked at the person who spoke, the girl with a low ponytail.
Half a day was enough time for him to learn the other person's name: Xiao Xiangtong.
"Hmm, is there a problem?" Yan Yu asked.
"In what environments are wind-based abilities restricted, and in what situations are they amplified?" Xiao Xiangtong stood up and asked earnestly.
So it really is a wind-type ability... Shen Heng's gaze lingered on Xiao Xiangtong for a moment.
"You're the first one to ask, so I'll answer your question, but no one else should ask individually." Yan Yu said, looking at everyone.
"Later I will explain which capabilities might be enhanced and which might be weakened in common combat environments, and you can check them yourself!"
Everyone nodded.
Yan Yu looked at Xiao Xiangtong and explained:
"The essence of wind is fluid motion driven by energy."
"Therefore, in a vacuum, where there is absolutely no air, your abilities are completely useless."
"Secondly, your abilities will be weakened in environments such as sandstorms, extreme cold, and underwater, because..."
"Of course, besides these weakening effects, there are also environments that can enhance your abilities."
"For example, wind can be borrowed during storms or at high altitudes, or it can be accelerated during urban warfare or in tunnels."
"However, it's important to note that in narrow areas such as basements and tunnels..."
Shen Heng sat in his seat and listened silently.
After a while, Yan Yu finished explaining the effects of wind-based abilities in various environments, and Xiao Xiangtong thanked him.
Yan Yu picked up his water glass, took a sip, and then spoke again:
"Now I will talk about which capabilities might be enhanced and which capabilities might be weakened in common combat environments."
Shen Heng slightly raised his eyes and saw that the person who hadn't been paying attention because Yan Yu was talking about abilities that had nothing to do with him had subconsciously sat up straight.
"Note that what I'm about to talk about are abilities that will be enhanced or weakened after being used; I won't talk about those that don't have an effect."
"Secondly, because there are so many abilities, I may not mention some special or rare ones; you'll need to figure that out for yourselves."
Yan Yu first gave an explanation before starting his introduction.
"Our main focus right now is fighting in the city, so I'll start by talking about the city."
"In cities, those who receive the boost are those specializing in metal manipulation and wind manipulation..."
"Then, those in the sea will have their water and pressure manipulation abilities strengthened, while their fire and wind abilities will be weakened."
"Sound waves are actually weakened in the ocean. Although sound waves travel faster in the ocean, they also attenuate faster."
"Then, on the plateau, fire and wind elements will be weakened because the air is thinner, while ice and sound elements will be strengthened..."
Shen Heng listened attentively below, memorizing everything that concerned him.
In conclusion.
One's abilities are completely ineffective in a vacuum, weakened in water and sandstorms, but enhanced in high-altitude, relatively enclosed environments.
At the end of the course, Yan Yu added:
"By the way, I want to emphasize that the high altitude is quite special. Oxygen is scarce there, but once you start fighting, you need to ingest a lot of oxygen, so it's easy to get tired and you can't fight for long."
"This applies not only to you, but also to the Calamity Beast!"
"So, if anyone fights on the plateau in the future..."
night.
The second floor was originally the officers' mess hall.
" Chang Lei, how did today's lesson go? Did it go smoothly?" Cao Zhenghao asked.
"What could possibly go wrong? They're just a bunch of Second Tier enemies!" Chang Lei took a sip of soup.
"Didn't anything interesting happen?" Cao Zhenghao asked.
"For example?" Chang Lei asked.
"Just like when I was in the army, there were hotheads who wouldn't listen to me and would talk back, and then I would punish them!" Cao Zhenghao laughed.
"No." Chang Lei shook his head.
"Really not?"
No, there isn't!
"Sigh, this is boring!" Cao Zhenghao sighed.
Chang Lei glanced at Cao Zhenghao, thought for a moment, and said:
"Actually, it's not entirely nonexistent."
"Oh?" Cao Zhenghao perked up.
"There's a kid who's quite interesting. He only has D-Class support abilities, yet he managed to stay in third place under my training!" Chang Lei said.
" D-Class support ability?" Cao Zhenghao frowned. "You mean Shen Heng?"
You know?
"Of course, do you think everyone is like you and doesn't consider the abilities of their subordinates?" Cao Zhenghao said.
Chang Lei smiled and nodded in confirmation:
"Yes, it's him."
"Hmm, interesting. I'll go see him during tomorrow's training!" Cao Zhenghao said with great interest.
"You'd better watch your temper," Chang Lei reminded him.
"Ah, I know! I know!" Cao Zhenghao replied perfunctorily.
Chang Lei smiled and looked at the other instructor.
" Chenguang, how's your training design coming along?"
Zhang Chenguang glanced at Chang Lei and quietly nodded.
"Yes, the design is complete."
