"Uh, haha... none of those will work."
In a single sentence, Lü Wenrui's expression quickly shifted from a smirk to a serious one.
Han Ling gave Lü Wenrui a strange look, then quickly turned her gaze back.
Her rating of this ability began to decline rapidly.
The inability to control something means that various unexpected events may occur.
If something good happens to me, that's fine, but if something bad happens, it would be too fatal in battle!
For example, as Lü Wenrui just mentioned, he might have slipped or gotten a cramp.
These things might be fine in normal circumstances, but if they happen in battle, they could very well lead to death.
Thinking of this, Han Ling couldn't help but frown and glance at Lü Wenrui again.
How did this guy survive until now?
Let's discuss the rotation issue first.
Shen Heng looked at Tang Yuanyang, who was clearly the director of the Shuzhong City Supervision Bureau.
Tang Yuanyang nodded slightly, his gaze also fixed on the young inspector.
What are your thoughts?
Shen Heng turned his head and looked at the Erosion Zone in the distance where black snow was falling.
He pondered for a moment, then turned back and said:
How exactly do you use your abilities?
"No need for honorifics. Compared to you, I'm only a few years older," Tang Yuanyang said in a deep voice, then raised his right hand.
As his fingers curled, one black needle after another appeared at his fingertips.
He began by introducing himself:
" The Stasis Needle is a weapon generated from Origin Power."
"In combat, it can be projected as a weapon to attack the enemy."
"As a weapon in its purest sense, its strength is acceptable, but that's about it."
"The advantage is that any enemy pricked by the needle will experience sluggishness or paralysis."
"The downside is that against some Calamity Beast with excessively high defense, if you can't break through their defenses, then this ability is practically useless."
"Can it generate special types of weapons?"... Shen Heng examined the sharp needle in Tang Yuanyang's hand.
As a sharp needle formed from Origin Power, it is not only concealed and convenient in attack, but also difficult for the enemy to defend against.
It also has a paralyzing effect upon impact.
Overall, it should be considered a relatively strong ability.
As for the shortcomings he mentioned, how many people with abilities don't have such worries?
It's simply a matter of strength versus weakness.
Even if you let Shen Heng unleash all his abilities now, he can't guarantee that he can break through the defenses of all near-S-rank Calamity Beast.
However, his ability is offensive, and so is Lü Wenrui's...
In this case...
Shen Heng turned his head to glance at the narrow Light Gate in the distance, then looked away and said,
"In that case, we'll take the night shift."
"Are you sure you have no problems?" Tang Yuanyang asked.
"Yes, don't worry, my abilities include some reconnaissance functions..."
Beside him, Lü Wenrui watched the two people talking with a slight gap at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Heng didn't mention it, and there were no words written on his head, so Lü Wenrui didn't notice.
But now, judging from the current situation, even a fool could see that Shen Heng has become the director of their local Supervision Bureau.
only...
Lü Wenrui's gaze lingered on Shen Heng.
No, we are all human beings.
In the past two years, I have only broken through from the Second Tier to the Third Tier.
How did Shen Heng manage to break through from the Second Tier to the Fourth Tier, Ability Evolution to B-Class, and become the bureau chief?
What exactly did Shen Heng go through in the past two years?
Night, by the campfire.
Shen Heng and Han Ling each sat on one side.
Shen Heng poked at the fire with a stick, while Han Ling closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
After discussing their duty arrangements during the day, the four of them parted ways.
Lü Wenrui and Tang Yuanyang were in charge of the daytime, while Shen Heng and Han Ling were in charge of the nighttime.
Of course, this is just for duty. If the Calamity Beast appears, just like before, those who are not on duty will need to come immediately.
However, unlike before, it doesn't take much time to get here.
"Crackling..."
Sparks flew everywhere.
Seeing that the flames had grown stronger, Shen Heng put away the stick he had been using to stir things up.
The firewood was delivered by soldiers at the camp so they could start a fire to keep warm.
On the plateau, keeping warm is an essential task.
Similar to deserts, the temperature difference between day and night on plateaus is also exceptionally large.
In summer, temperatures can reach over 20°C, and in winter, they can even exceed 30°C.
In winter, when temperatures are already cold, the temperature at night on the plateau can drop to between -10°C and -30°C.
At this temperature, ordinary people basically cannot move around for very long without taking precautions against the cold.
For a mid-level martial artist, it's possible to withstand the attack, but it won't be easy.
Therefore, when Qin Ye sent someone to deliver firewood, Shen Heng did not refuse, but went straight to it.
Just then, a soft exhalation came from the side.
Shen Heng looked up and gazed over.
Han Ling slowly opened her eyes, and a breath of warm air escaped from her mouth.
When the hot air comes into contact with the cold air outside, it quickly condenses into frost, forming a thin white mist.
"How do you feel after your training session?" Shen Heng asked.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:
"The surrounding Origin Power is more concentrated, making breathing more efficient."
"But perhaps due to the high altitude, using the Five Animal Fist to Body Tempering will cause more fatigue than before."
"Is it because of the oxygen?" Shen Heng asked.
"Yes, that should be the reason." Han Ling nodded slightly.
"Furthermore, the need to guard against Calamity Beast that might emerge from the Light Gate at any moment prevents full-force cultivation, so the overall effect will be better, but not as good."
Shen Heng nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Alright, I'll teach you a combat technique!"
Hearing this, Han Ling looked at Shen Heng with slight confusion.
What combat technique?
"Do you still remember the first combat technique I developed?" Shen Heng asked.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling frowned and pondered for a long while before finally recalling it from the depths of her mind.
"You mean that combat skill that requires Fourth Tier to learn?"
"Hmm," Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"That combat technique is called 'Flow,' which is a technique that allows Origin Power to flow constantly within the body."
"If maintained daily, it can continuously strengthen the body with Origin Power and allow for faster mobilization of Origin Power."
"If the Origin Power is allowed to flow along the path of the Five Animal Fist, and the total amount of Origin Power flowing is increased, it is even possible to achieve the same level of body tempering through Origin Power without practicing the Five Animal Fist."
"The reason I was able to directly confront a Near-S-Class Calamity Beast was largely due to the further development of this combat technique."
Han Ling blinked, her gaze fixed on Shen Heng with an inscrutable expression.
A self-developed combat technique that can maintain physical strengthening, replace the Five Animal Fist for Body Tempering, and greatly improve physical fitness in a short period of time?
