Things Hidden Beneath the Water
Never before have world leaders been as united as they are now.
Everyone wanted to ensure Badun's success, but Badun knew he couldn't stand alone and needed everyone's help.
In this analysis of the control over 'fast and slow', no one can keep anything to themselves.
Zhang Xuezhou gave a serious demonstration, showing how Badun used his Ninth Sequence to learn from lower-level students and do his best to imitate them. He also explained how he successfully imitated them.
Naggs, on the other hand, possessed the corresponding knowledge. Although Naggs's hearsay made it difficult for him to elaborate, his theories involving 'time and space' still amazed everyone, even Badun, who continued to ponder them.
"What you're saying is very mysterious and mystical. If this ability originated from Donghua, and he possessed the time and space abilities that Nagus mentioned, is it possible that he's still alive?"
Chimmon Hagrid felt a headache coming on.
He had sensed something unusual about Zhang Xuezhou a long time ago and wanted to learn those 'divine arts' from Zhang Xuezhou.
But Chim Hagrid hadn't expected it to be so difficult to learn; he also had little concept of time and space.
His position at the Eighth Sequence is particularly awkward. At this level, there is no possibility of forming control and entering the Eighth Sequence. He can only break through to the Ninth Sequence, which can accommodate multiple control abilities.
Just thinking about how he hadn't even figured out the Eighth Sequence, and now he was being asked to attempt the Ninth Sequence at the cost of his life, made Chimmon Hagrid realize that his life wasn't nearly as tough as it seemed.
His attention eventually focused on Donghua, the original owner.
This speculation drew everyone's attention, yet also created a sense of unease among them.
"Then you all must seize every moment to have the ability to enter and leave this place before Donghua recovers," Badun warned.
"His body is formed from mud and stone; his real body should have been destroyed long ago. Even if he were to return, he wouldn't cause much trouble," Ren Yisheng comforted him. "What we really want is for everyone to find a way out as soon as possible, rather than live a miserable life here!"
"Ren Yisheng, are you confident that you can break through to the Ninth Sequence and then control this speed?" Chimmon Hagrid asked doubtfully.
We have to give it a try!
Ren Yisheng let out a long breath.
The path Ren Yisheng took was a transformation after his spirit reached a certain level, rather than the continuous improvement of his foundation that Ren Anran insisted on, which led to repeated breakthroughs in Chapter Seven of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.
His transformation, from the individual to the group, also aligns with the domain characteristics mentioned by Badun.
Although he didn't know what would happen after he became a domain, Ren Yisheng really wanted to give it a try.
"Old Badun was paralyzed and nearly died, but was given a new lease on life, which allowed him to glimpse the fortuitous opportunity within the field," Chimmon Hagrid asked. "How do you intend to try?"
"I want to bury myself in the soil," Ren Yisheng said earnestly. "Pushing my body to its limits without eating, and increasingly meeting the conditions for near-death, if I can successfully stimulate that, perhaps I'll get closer to the Ninth Sequence!"
"Are you really going to do it this way?" Chimmon Hagrid asked in a low voice.
"I'll definitely do it that way," Ren Yisheng nodded. "The air here is unique. Inhaling air allows us to maintain even the bare minimum of vital signs for a longer period. This means that when we're near death, it doesn't happen in an instant, but rather we have enough time to react. Perhaps this will give us a chance to shift control to the next domain!"
"Call me when you're doing it, I want to try burying myself in it too," Chimmon Hagrid said.
"Don't blame me if you die!"
Ren Yisheng chuckled, the scene of the world changing during the explosion flashing through his mind again.
The flames from the explosion consumed everything in the hall, and the fire also altered the environment.
Countless points of light fell to the earth, which then triggered a long and continuous rain, leading to the rapid growth of vegetation on this land.
Ren Yisheng felt that burying himself underground might bring some benefits.
Although he didn't know if it would work for the Ninth Sequence, Ren Yisheng thought it was worth a try. If other neurotic companions tried it at the same time, Ren Yisheng thought things would be even better.
Moreover, after Ren Yisheng changed his mindset, he genuinely hoped that there would be as few people as possible here, so he could see where the great fortuitous opportunity Zhang Xuezhou spoke of was hidden and what kind of use it would bring.
"I feel like everyone's obsessed with getting out of here!"
Zhou Rihui murmured softly.
Everyone in sight was tense, trying to control 'fast and slow' according to the tutorials of Badun and others, in order to enter and exit.
Zhou Rihui felt there was no need to be so nervous about it.
Rather than pursuing the ability to enter and exit uncertainties himself, Zhou Rihui felt it was better to wait for Zhang Xuezhou to control the 'fast and slow' to move forward, or to find the staff that would drive the domain's development, and ultimately let Zhang Xuezhou take him out.
He attended the lectures as well, but ultimately reverted to his old methods.
But this time, Zhou Rihui added some meat dishes and some insects caught from the lake for barbecue.
"It's a pity that the number of poisonous herbs is getting fewer and fewer, and they are becoming increasingly difficult to chew and swallow. I should try the catalyst that Brother Zhang mentioned. If I manage to achieve the Seventh Sequence, then I will truly be different!"
Looking at the blood vessels that had almost turned purple, and feeling the immense power within his body, Zhou Rihui reached out and slammed his hand into the wave.
A sound like an explosion rang out, and three six-legged water worms appeared on the surface of the water.
These six- or eight-legged aquatic insects have flat bodies, are about half the size of a palm, and are gray in color, which is very similar to the color of the ground under the lake. They are difficult to see if you have poor eyesight, so you can catch them more easily by shaking the lake water.
"Trees that are all poisonous, poisonous herbs that are half poisonous heavenly materials and earthly treasures, insects that are purely for eating—isn't there a fourth kind of good thing that's both edible and useful in this wretched place?"
Zhou Rihui grumbled and then threw a series of heavy punches on the water's surface.
The explosive wave stunned the insects, allowing him to easily harvest these naturally occurring prey.
The area of this body of water is several hundred square meters, but it is not deep, only knee-deep, and the bottom can be seen with the naked eye.
Zhou Rihui was launching a fierce attack, but no one paid him any attention. After all, Zhou Rihui's sequence level was what it was, and no one could do anything else even if they wanted to.
"So many bugs! We've reached their nest! Why are they all here? What's this?"
For many people, it's normal for vegetation to grow and insects to appear after it rains in nature; even in the most desolate places, seeds and pupae may be buried.
No one has studied how the grass and trees in this place came about, and therefore no one has studied how the insects in the water came about.
The same goes for Zhou Rihui; he's already reached the point of wilderness survival, so you can't expect him to have any scientific research spirit.
A sudden burst of water splashed up dozens of insects. Zhou Rihui, who was used to catching them in small groups, was stunned for a moment before reaching down to grab them.
He tore apart a clump of gray debris in the water, making the water murky. When Zhou Rihui reached out to grab it again, he felt a sharp stinging sensation in both hands.
This prompted him to pull sharply, turning the contents of the waterway upside down.
