"It's somewhere in between," Shen Heng said after a moment's thought.
"Neither here nor there?" Li Daoyi looked at Shen Heng with some doubt.
"Yes, it's in the middle of the pack!" Shen Heng nodded in confirmation.
"Hey, you're no good!" Li Daoyi laughed as he looked at Shen Heng. "There are 30 people in the training camp, and the middle class is only around 15. You can't even make the top 10?"
"Daoist Master, it's easy for you to say that when you're not in my shoes!" Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi helplessly. "If I had an S-Class or A-Class, I could easily beat you, let alone the top 10, I'd even show you first place!"
"If your abilities were S-Class or A-Class, then there's nothing to say about getting first place; it's only right," Li Daoyi retorted.
"The real skill is to achieve a high ranking among a bunch of A-Class and B-Class with a D-Class ability!"
Shen Heng was taken aback, but upon closer reflection, what the other person said actually made a lot of sense.
He gazed at the bright moon in the sky, pondered for a long time, and said:
"But reality isn't a play or a novel; it's never that easy!"
"That's true!" Li Daoyi nodded in agreement.
"So you need to upgrade your ability quickly, kid. Your current ability is passive, which is the only one suitable for upgrading!"
"I'll do my best!" Shen Heng smiled.
"By the way, how do you feel about your abilities?" Li Daoyi asked.
Shen Heng pondered for a moment and said:
"My perception abilities, while not perfect, are certainly quite excellent."
"However, due to its relatively low ability level, it lacks a lot in terms of offensive capabilities."
"If it weren't for the strange nature of the Sound Wave Attack, I wouldn't even be able to kill the Calamity Beast with this ability."
Li Daoyi nodded.
Ordinary D-Class abilities are indeed incapable of causing much damage to the Calamity Beast.
Due to their physical attributes, the strength of the Calamity Beast is usually no less than that of a C-Class ability user of the same level.
Some Calamity Beast are even stronger due to their species.
"So how do you use your abilities, kid?" Li Daoyi asked.
"For easy targets, directly bombard their brains with sound waves. For difficult targets, rely on the flow of energy to maintain a stalemate, then find an opportunity to bombard their brains with sound waves again. When they are distracted, attack with your knife," Shen Heng explained.
"That is indeed one use," Li Daoyi nodded. "Anything else?"
"Anything else?" Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi with some doubt. "That's it!"
"That's it?" Li Daoyi stared straight at Shen Heng.
Seeing this, Shen Heng frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought.
Are there other uses for my abilities?
After a long while, Shen Heng, who really couldn't believe it, had no choice but to raise his eyes.
"There are other uses, one is to form Barrier with sound waves, but the attack power is not enough, let alone the defense. At most, it can only help to slightly deflect attacks."
"The other one is to simulate other sounds, but that's not very useful when fighting Calamity Beast."
"That's it?" Li Daoyi repeated the question again.
Despite his doubts, Shen Heng nodded.
"Foolish!" Li Daoyi cursed, "Your abilities aren't strong enough, so why are you so fixated on using them externally? Use them on yourself!"
"For... personal use?" Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi with slightly open eyes.
"Of course, does Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound know about this?"
"I've heard of it."
"I've heard of the name, but I don't know the specifics, right?" Li Daoyi gave Shen Heng an annoyed look.
Shen Heng smiled and nodded without paying any attention.
" Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound, simply put, mimics the deep, resonant vibrations of ferocious beasts to guide the body's Qi, blood, muscles, bones, and internal organs to produce subtle vibrations, ultimately achieving the effects of strengthening the body and Marrow Cleansing."
"If you use it properly, its effects on physical training won't be any worse than that of Chang Lei."
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng's eyes lit up slightly, but then his brows furrowed again.
Is this even possible?
"Certainly!"
"But none of the literature I've read about sound waves mentions this."
"Who wrote those documents?" Li Daoyi asked impatiently.
Shen Heng hesitated for a moment, "Researchers who study sound waves?"
"Do you think researchers can use sound waves to train their bodies?" Li Daoyi stared straight at Shen Heng.
"This... it doesn't seem like it will work."
"It's not just a possibility, it's an absolute certainty. If they were to use sound waves to temper their bodies, that would be like an old man hanging himself."
Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi, who was staring straight at him, and seemed to realize something. He then replied:
"You're tired of living?"
Just as Shen Heng and Li Daoyi were talking in the woods.
Yan Yu had already arrived in a car in front of a building in the park.
The security camera on the gate seemed to realize someone had arrived, and it moved towards Yan Yu, who was getting out of the car.
As the red light flashes, multiple detection methods are activated simultaneously.
Soon, the alloy gate opened automatically even before Yan Yu arrived.
"Welcome back, Professor Yan Yu!"
"Okay, thank you for your help, Tianshu!"
Yan Yu nodded simply in response, then stepped into the central laboratory.
Inside, twelve holographic projection workbenches are neatly arranged, each displaying different molecular structure models or weapon design drawings.
" Professor Yan!" Chief Researcher Lin Xiu quickly approached.
"You've returned just in time. The quantum oscillation blade research has encountered a problem; currently, at a vibration frequency of 3.7 terahertz, something is wrong..."
"How can we engage in combat? The prototype of the exoskeleton armor ' Iron Guard ' is complete, but the energy system..."
One researcher after another came to report on the problems or progress of the projects they were responsible for.
Yan Yu will directly propose solutions for problems that can be solved immediately. For problems that cannot be solved, he will first offer a general idea. If he really cannot come up with a solution immediately, he will keep it in mind.
An hour later, after finishing all the tasks, Yan Yu was finally able to catch her breath.
He glanced around at the group still in the central laboratory.
"I've completed the upgrade of Tianshu over the past two months. Its quantum computing power has increased by 7.58 times. You can now use it from the back end, and I've already assigned access to your respective groups!"
"Really? Then my laser cannon's speed can be greatly increased!"
"Very good!"
The joy on everyone's faces was hard to contain.
Yan Yu glanced calmly at the crowd, then his gaze swept over the several large screens in mid-air.
It also contained all sorts of data, some about experiments, some about the environment, and others...
Yan Yu's gaze suddenly stopped on one of the data points.
78 P/cm³
" Hong Ming!" Yan Yu called out.
" Professor Yan!" The person who was called ran over.
"How's the investigation into the abnormal increase in air Origin Power concentration going?" Yan Yu asked.
"Based on the investigation, the origin should be on the western side of the Western Polar Ocean," Hong Ming replied.
"Have you sent a ship to investigate?"
"That's Rice Country territorial waters; we can't openly go there to investigate," Hong Ming explained.
Yan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's report the address to the Rice Country. Department of Defense and let them investigate it themselves!"
"..." Hong Ming hesitated for a moment, "Aren't we going to participate?"
"Not participating could lead to an abnormal increase in global air Origin Power, which is probably not a good thing. Let them take a look first!" Yan Yu explained.
Upon hearing this, Hong Ming nodded in understanding.
"By the way, when you contact them, don't tell them to go by themselves at first. Say we're going, then change it to 'we'll go with them,' and finally to 'they' will go,' and then notify us!" Yan Yu added.
"Okay, I understand!"
