"Boom--"

The burning remains of the carcass crashed to the ground.

Shen Heng followed and landed.

His gaze lifted and landed on the Bone Porcelain Puppet.

The Bone Porcelain Puppet was no longer in its previous state; its body was half missing, and blue smoke was rising from the huge cavity in its chest.

Shen Heng walked over slowly.

Then, he raised his knife.

"Whoosh--"

The long sword slashed down.

After confirming that the Bone Porcelain Puppet was completely dead, Shen Heng let out a soft sigh of relief.

The Origin Power that had been flowing at a high frequency within his body gradually subsided, and his body also gradually stopped swaying slightly.

This battle gave Shen Heng a clearer understanding of his current strength.

He's using all sorts of combat skills and abilities right now.

In terms of attack strength and speed, it should have already reached the Near-S-Class.

Of course, it's not among the particularly strong ones Near-S-Class.

After all, the Bone Porcelain Puppet he was facing wasn't at its peak either; it had been fighting for over two hours and had even sustained some injuries.

But he did manage to get up there after all.

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of his abilities, even if he is in a slightly weaker position, it is difficult for him to demonstrate this in battle; in fact, he may end up having the advantage.

Even if it's an incomplete battle prediction, the ability to hear the thoughts of other beings is still incredibly useful in combat.

Of course, it's not without its problems.

In terms of defense, Shen Heng is no match for the Calamity Beast.

This is also a common weakness among human martial artists.

Due to limitations in ability, many people exhibit a situation where they are highly offensive but weak in defense.

They can break through the defenses of the Calamity Beast relatively easily, but they often can't withstand many attacks from Calamity Beast of the same level.

Shen Heng was relatively fortunate, after all, he had the ability to manipulate sound waves and gradually temper his body through daily cultivation.

With the addition of the flow, it's equivalent to a C-Class- to B-Class physical enhancement ability.

However, compared to the defenses of the Calamity Beast, this is still too weak.

However, this is actually not too bad, at least it can be made up for with time, and we can also see if there are any suitable combat techniques to supplement it.

However, there's another problem.

It refers to the flexibility of combat.

This was a question that Shen Heng had started to consider after his conversation with Gu Lingxuan and the battle that followed.

His current combat prowess is entirely focused on close-quarters combat.

If he can't get close to the enemy, or if he doesn't have a good way to deal with the enemy's attacks, his performance will be greatly reduced.

The former is like Han Ling, who can launch an attack from several kilometers away with tremendous power.

Trying to force our way through would be too dangerous, and we don't even know if we could catch up, since the other animal is alive and can run away.

As for other options, it seems there aren't any others.

At a distance of several kilometers, sound waves attenuate rapidly, making it unlikely to cause harm beyond that distance.

Moreover, even without considering the distance...

Shen Heng's current abilities are fine for low-level opponents, but they are not as effective against opponents of the same or even higher levels.

After the Ability Evolution, the ability related to sound waves was also enhanced, but it only reached the level of C-Class.

A C-Class ability, even at the Fourth Tier when one begins to develop mental power, still seems somewhat inadequate.

As for Emotion Manipulation, it is also easy to detect due to the power of mental strength.

This is also why Shen Heng guided the Bone Porcelain Puppet's emotions little by little during the battle, taking a long time before it finally erupted.

As for the other type, he didn't have a good way to deal with enemy attacks.

For example, the attack methods he thought of, such as fire and water, when he was talking to Gu Lingxuan earlier.

Faced with this type of ability, he seems to have no choice but to either dodge on a large scale or concentrate a large amount of Origin Power on his blade and forcefully cut through it.

However, this method consumes too much Origin Power, and he is currently...

Shen Heng remained silent for a moment, then didn't continue thinking about it.

On the one hand, this problem is currently difficult to solve; on the other hand, he understands that normal people cannot have all six dimensions.

(All six dimensions are present: attack power, defense, speed, ability flexibility, Origin Power, and spirit)

For most people, the moment their abilities awaken, their general fighting style, strengths, and weaknesses are already determined.

Of course, while it's impossible to be an all-rounder, it's still possible to achieve it by slightly improving one's weaknesses.

In terms of defense, this can be compensated for later with combat skills or Fluid Battle Armor, but both of these require a considerable amount of points.

In terms of ability flexibility, we can only look at the enhancement of sound wave abilities brought about by the Ability Evolution.

And then...

With a simple flourish of his sword, Shen Heng began to sense the state of his body.

After a high-intensity battle, my body was slightly fatigued. Due to the 'Flow Overclocking', I felt a faint burning sensation in my meridians, but nothing else.

After briefly assessing his physical condition, Shen Heng focused his attention on his Origin Power.

This battle probably consumed about 20% of his Origin Power.

Yes, that's 20% of the total.

The proportion of available Origin Power...

Nearly one-third!

Sensing the seemingly ever-changing Configuration within his body, Shen Heng let out a soft breath.

Fortunately, my fighting style doesn't consume much Origin Power, otherwise this Configuration would have really killed me.

Without giving it any further thought, Shen Heng turned his gaze to the distance.

Gu Lingxuan was still sitting in the distance.

Shen Heng strode over.

During this process, he calmly opened his mouth and said:

"Ringing Sound, connect to headquarters!"

"Connecting... Successful!"

Ringing Sound sounded in response from the wristband.

The next second, the operator's voice came through.

"This is the headquarters of the Supervision Bureau."

"The incident in Lingnan Suicheng has been resolved. Please inform them that no further support is needed!" Shen Heng said.

"Lingnan Province, Suicheng, is that right?" the operator confirmed.

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, understood. Thank you very much for your efforts and those of every inspector who went to provide combat support. The relevant points and rewards will be issued after verification. Hope you get some rest..."

After the communication ended, Shen Heng came to Gu Lingxuan's side.

"This is all taken care of. Is there anything I can help with for the follow-up matters?"

"Ahem..." Gu Lingxuan coughed twice, then slowly shook her head. "No need, we have other teammates who can help handle the rest."

Shen Heng nodded slightly, without pressuring him.

The Bone Porcelain Puppet has been wiped out, and the other Calamity Beast were dealt with by other members of the Suicheng Supervision Bureau a long time ago. As for the rest, there's really nothing too difficult.

He turned around, ready to leave.

At this moment, Gu Lingxuan paused and asked, "What are your current abilities?"

Shen Heng paused slightly, turned to look at Gu Lingxuan and another person beside her who was also looking at him with curiosity, and said:

"B-Class, Listening to the Cries of All Living Beings..."
