Profitable Golden Spear

Shen Heng stared at the ball of light, quickly constructing a corresponding model in his mind.

The Origin Power threads intertwined and coiled repeatedly, forming a very complex structure, but for him, who already possessed a photographic memory, it wasn't a major problem.

The real problem is...

"Twenty-three articles...?"

Shen Heng lowered his eyes, sensing the twenty-three threads of Origin Power piercing towards the ball of light in his mind.

The "boom" attack he used to fight the Molten-Fire Lizard, which could fly out, only required eight threads of Origin Power to construct. But the attack before him suddenly required twenty-three threads!

In other words, to learn this attack, one needs to be able to simultaneously control twenty-three Origin Power to travel along different routes.

Thinking of this, Shen Heng lowered his head, opened his right hand and raised it, and one after another, threads of Origin Power quickly extended out.

The Origin Power threads emerged and swayed in an orderly fashion until the eighteenth thread, at which point the previously orderly remaining threads suddenly became a jumbled mess.

Shen Heng silently watched the chaotic Origin Power in his palm.

"I can't reliably control Article 18, which means I can only control up to Article 17. 17, 23, are there still six left to go?"

When palms are closed, the silk threads dissipate.

Shen Heng slowly lowered his hand.

Surprisingly, the attack constructed in this way was much stronger than he had imagined, but the most crucial point was...

His gaze fell upon the sphere of light that was about to fully coalesce.

Shen Heng's gaze became much more serious.

Although he had heard of it before and always believed it, this was the first time he had seen an ability that could be directly learned.

Well... strictly speaking, this move falls somewhere between an ability and a non-ability, since it's just one of the abilities of the deity Zhou Xuan summoned.

But without a doubt, this further illustrates:

Skills can indeed be learned!

Of course, the premise is that you can break that ability down to its most essential elements and understand it thoroughly!

It looks complicated, but it might actually be more difficult than you imagine.

Just like building a bridge, from the most basic log bridge, to plank bridge, then to stone slab bridge, arch bridge, beam bridge, cable-stayed bridge, suspension bridge, and even cross-sea bridge.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly small number of levels; the difficulty increases exponentially with each level!

This is not just about the bridge getting bigger and longer; it involves countless theories: mechanics of materials, structural mechanics, geology, mathematics...

If you ask an ordinary person who knows nothing to start from scratch and study it on their own, they would be considered a genius if they could study arch bridges in their entire life, let alone beam bridges, cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, and even cross-sea bridges.

He wondered if he would ever see anyone figure it out... Shen Heng stared at the ball of light, lost in thought.

As for himself, he didn't have high hopes.

Firstly, the various forms of training he undertakes to improve his strength already occupy almost all of his time;

Secondly, he has the ability, although he is not strong in combat. There is no reason for him to abandon an existing path and choose a path he does not know how to take.

Similarly, he believes that if someone were to actually use Origin Power to directly utilize the abilities of others in the future, it would most likely be someone whose ability awakening failed...

As Shen Heng sensed the threads within the sphere of light, refining the model in his mind, he pondered aimlessly.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened slightly.

In his field of vision, the ball of light at Zhou Xuan's fingertip suddenly flew out with a slight movement of his wrist.

A thin ray of light streaked through the air and landed on the crooked tree below.

"Boom--"

A sound rang out, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Everyone looked over.

A hole appeared on the crooked tree, about half a meter in diameter and more than a meter deep.

It's not very big.

They can achieve this effect even with casual shots.

The problem is, they are already at the Fifth Tier, while Zhou Xuan's attack just now only consumed a Third Tier Origin Crystal!

Shen Heng stared at the pit for a while, then turned his gaze to Han Ling.

Han Ling glanced at her sideways, said nothing, and unloaded the sniper rifle she was carrying.

Hearing the noise, everyone looked over in confusion.

Then Han Ling raised her sniper rifle and aimed it at the crooked tree as well.

"Bang!"

The bullet was fired.

Moments later, with an even more violent explosion, another crater appeared in the crooked tree.

The pit was about 60 centimeters in diameter and nearly 1.5 meters deep.

"It's a little worse than mine, but only a little worse!" Han Ling slung the sniper rifle back over her shoulder and looked at Shen Heng.

Shen Heng nodded slightly.

"Is she that strong?" Zheng Guomin frowned and asked, "Han Ling's abilities in terms of attack are already among the top A-Class, right?"

"Not only that!" Han Ling said, glancing at Zhou Xuan, "You can also put all your Origin Power into a single attack, right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Zhou Xuan nodded.

"What will happen if everyone invests in it?" Zheng Guomin asked.

"Probably..." Wu Hao spoke up from the side, "Among beasts of the same rank, unless it's S-Class defensive Calamity Beast, no Calamity Beast should be able to withstand this attack!"

"In other words, his ability, to some extent, is even stronger than mine!" Han Ling added without hesitation, "After all, I currently can't put all my Origin Power into a single attack; I need to divide it into at least three attacks!"

Everyone's eyes widened slightly, looking at Zhou Xuan with some disbelief.

It is no exaggeration to say that Han Ling's attack power is currently the strongest in the entire Plateau Erosion Zone, second only to the Daoist priest!

It has completely reached the A-Class capability, the very top standard!

Now, if we tell them that Zhou Xuan summoned a god, his attack power would rival or even surpass Han Ling's?

Zhou Xuan grinned, clearly satisfied with this first ability.

Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan, pondered for a moment, and said:

"You used two portions of Origin Power, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan's smile faltered for a moment, then he nodded, "Yes! One from the savings pool, and one for myself!"

"So that was the effect of two Origin Power attacking each other?" Shen Heng then asked.

"Yes, but..."

"But what?" Shen Heng asked.

"The effect isn't actually as great as two portions of Origin Power; it's significantly reduced!" Zhou Xuan replied, frowning.

Shen Heng glanced at the hole in the crooked tree below, then turned his gaze back. "Do you know roughly how much Origin Power two portions of Origin Power can produce?"

"Hmm... probably around 1.6 times!" Zhou Xuan estimated.
