For example, the enhancement system involves various opposing attributes vying for power, while the energy system involves designing various environments to train one's supernatural abilities.

Compared to the first two well-structured courses, the heterogeneous system seems to have emerged because it doesn't rely on either of the two.

Students in this major have all sorts of talents: toxin release, environmental alteration, body shape modification, and so on...

The professor in the Heterogeneous Sciences program is named Wei Si, a lean, dark-skinned middle-aged man.

After studying the three professional courses, Wen Jing felt that the most powerful mentor was Louisa, Wei Si and Joel each had their own strengths.

However, given the dual threats of Ancient Wilderness exploration and Genetic Collapse, Awakened can live to the age of middle-aged is no ordinary person, regardless of their level.

In the classroom with triple gravity, Wei Si stood lightly at the end of the elastic board with her hands behind her back, without the slightest tremor under her feet.

"To enhance talent, training, opportunity, and understanding are all indispensable!"

A group of newly enrolled sophomores stood on the suspended diving platform, their faces tense, trying their best to maintain the stability of the board beneath their feet.

Only Wen Jing and Wei Si felt as steady as if they were on the ground.

She did this entirely through control of her body, without using flight or Gravity Silk.

Wei Si's gaze swept across the crowd like lightning.

"The first two go without saying. The third point to grasp is that it must start from your will. Everyone's talent is directly related to their personal will..."

Listening to his mentor's words, Wen Jing's eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

She knows her own situation well; Basic Invisibility is not her natural talent.

She once believed that her innate talent had no upper limit to evolution, but according to Wei Si's perspective, the thing most directly bound to her will should actually be the power panel.

However, if the panel is her special ability, it was something she had since she transmigrated to this world, not something that appeared after she awakened it.

Time passed by, Wei Si moved among the students, providing guidance to each one. This week's course was drawing to a close.

" Wen Jing, you can get ready to begin."

Finally, he turned to Wen Jing and said.

Upon hearing this, the students around them were also eager to try it out.

Wen Jing nodded, then moved and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the heterogeneous major, Wei Si's method for developing Wen Jing's hidden talent is the "Find Wen Jing " activity.

The luminous effect of the smart terminal can overcome Wen Jing's optical invisibility. As long as her figure enters the students' field of vision, it will be illuminated through their own smart terminals.

Therefore, in order to avoid being found by his classmates, Wen Jing had to be able to sense the gazes of all of them and keep moving his body in their blind spots.

"Look at the sky, Wen Jing hasn't been up there for a long time."

"Look for footholds! These footholds are natural shelters!"

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the Freshman League, the atmosphere and relationships among students in this year's class are much closer than those of other years. Regardless of their backgrounds, they all have a sense of collective honor that students in other years do not have.

As the person who brought all of this to fruition, Wen Jing's status is that of the uncrowned king among his peers, and even among all the students in the academy, whether from the perspective of strength or personal influence.

The atmosphere in the class was immediately cheerful and lively.

Wei Si hovered in mid-air, watching from a third-person perspective as Wen Jing's elusive figure moved like a ghost among the students below, so close yet unnoticed. He couldn't help but smile with admiration.

He himself cannot become invisible, and he uses this method to make up for Wen Jing's weakness.

Reducing weaknesses is also a form of strengthening!

Even though many people thought that Wen Jing's abilities were already beyond the point of needing to take such basic required courses, she still studied diligently in every class.

Having studied panel analysis for so many years, she has come to realize that no matter how intelligent or talented a person is, the experience they can gain is limited.

Different people have different ways of thinking, and their experiences and feelings about a thing are also different.

Therefore, as long as you study, you will reap the rewards. Many breakthroughs and inspirations are drawn from chance encounters.

Wen Jing's progress bar for advancing her Advanced Movement Technique level was gradually filling up with each exquisite dodge.

*

Half a month later, carrying the Cold Ash Extract obtained from the research institute, Wen Jing once again traversed the Ancient Wilderness.

During this time, she did not venture any deeper into the unknown underground, but instead explored the area around the Gale Rift Valley itself.

The area surrounding the rift valley is mostly composed of gray-black gravel wasteland and frequently active volcanoes.

The east and south sides are volcanoes. Based on the areas Wen Jing traveled through, a continuous volcanic group, like a skirt, can be drawn across the land.

To continue forward and see what lies ahead, one must traverse intermittently erupting sulfur springs, boiling mud pools, and volcanic ash that blots out the sky.

To the northwest, the landscape returns to a barren wasteland, but this time, a dry riverbed, resembling a scar on the earth, has been added.

Wen Jing had naturally explored the area.

At the bottom of the riverbed, the vast majority of the surface is cracked mud slabs, and only very occasionally can one find some turbid brine pits remaining at the bottom of a deep pit.

In those highly saline and toxic brine pits, there also lives a special type of amphibious fish covered with Thick Armor.

This unfamiliar and novel species naturally didn't escape Wen Jing's menu, but after eating it once, she never ate it again.

Species that can live in that kind of aquatic environment are definitely not benevolent. Not only do they have little energy, but even though they are alive, they taste fishy, sour, and salty, as if they have been pickled for who knows how long using the crudest methods.

It was so bad that even Wen Jing, who is not picky about food, chose to give up and added a "[Super Bad]" rating to her glasses.

She suspected that perhaps making themselves taste unpalatable was one of the fish's survival strategies.

The wind howled as the little insect darted across the Scorching Heat ground, returning to the familiar Gale Rift Valley.

In the pitch black, Wen Jing, found the fully mature, now lush and verdant moss swarm and slowly began to devour its fresh food.

The tiny insects living on moss do not have the Clustering mentality as ants, such as a mother nest; they simply huddle together.

Faced with external threats, the only attack method is to release Paralytic Scale Powder.

Or, to put it another way, their lifespan is insufficient to support the emergence of more complex life behaviors; they can only complete the most basic growth and reproduction.

"Judging by the time... it's most likely to be this day."

During this time, Wen Jing explored the area around the rift valley, not primarily to replenish his water supply, but rather because he was waiting.

We await the next opportunity for the giant insect to emerge from the earth to the surface and absorb heat.

This is not difficult to deduce. Since we already know that the bryozoan swarms are planted and harvested by giant insects, we only need to observe the growth cycle of these bryozoan swarms to determine when they will arrive on the surface.

After half a month, their growth reached the same level as when Wen Jing first saw them.

She was incredibly lucky to encounter the giant worm on her first exploration of the canyon.

"Call..."

The little insect, which was gnawing on the moss, paused, sensing that the wind was getting weaker.

"They're here!"

Wen Jing left the half-eaten moss field, entered stealth mode, and hid in a safe corner above the side of the gourd-shaped canyon.

"Boom..."

As the wind subsided, the next tremors came from underground. The vibrations grew louder and louder, eventually becoming like a torrent of water, continuous and relentless.

The next moment, a familiar dark red light appeared, and the giant insect's enormous body emerged from the bottomless underground.

Wen Jing didn't move, but quietly watched as the other person, just like last time, casually scraped the remaining half of the moss field clean with their mouth, and rushed upwards, bursting out of the ground.

"Splash splash splash!"

The giant insect writhed on the ground, recklessly absorbing the terrifying heat that other surface creatures avoided at all costs.

Wen Jing calculated the time, waiting for the giant insect to return.

Finally, the white mist dissipated, and the dark red crystal tubes on the giant insect's back became hot and bright.

With a terrifying twist of its body, it returned to the ground, carrying with it a surge of heat.

Its body, composed of segments of shell, resembles a series of high-speed train carriages.

"Now!"

Wen Jing, who had been waiting patiently, seized the opportunity and pulled dozens of Gravity Silk at the same time, taking advantage of the moment to board the 'Giant Insect Underground Shuttle'!

If a foreign object approaches, even a small insect, the giant insect would normally detect it immediately due to its superior sensory abilities.

But at the same moment Wen Jing 'got on the bus', she used the Isolation Layer's properties to conceal all her aura, and then used energy to cover herself with a trace of informational substance of the same origin as the giant insect.

The same informational substance would naturally not trigger the giant insect's instinctive alarm.

It's like showing your 'ticket' beforehand to pass through customs.

In the blink of an eye, the small insect firmly attached itself to the gap between the two segmented carapaces of the giant insect.

"Success!"

Ever since she learned that the cold ash contained remnants of information about the giant insect, she had the idea of using the giant insect to enter the underground. She specifically asked Xie Ming to extract it, just for the sake of what was happening now.

Since there are giant insects like this deep underground, there is a high probability that there is also a space and ecosystem there.

Under the oppressive power of the Stellar Beast, the creatures that emerge on the Earth's surface are all weak and have little value for consumption.

Perhaps venturing into the mysterious underground will yield unexpected discoveries.

If Wen Jing his own size, no matter how fast he was, traversing underground would take an unknown amount of time, and exploring unfamiliar areas would undoubtedly involve encountering numerous dangers.
