"good."

Su Lin nodded and took out an earth-type magic stone from his backpack and held it in his hand.

After doing all that, he noticed Jia Zhengyi's gaze and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Old Jia, although I don't quite understand why elves are not afraid of fire attacks, it's not hard to realize this."

"After all, a large race has continued for so many years, and it has long had strategies to deal with many flaws and dangers that we can and cannot foresee."

"I think this is probably related to elven magic or something."

As soon as Su Lin finished speaking, Lyanna calmly added from the side: "It is the bloodline characteristic of the elves themselves. All elves originate from the origin of the world. Although many elves have not become pure-blooded elves, it does not mean that they are not pure."

"They simply haven't activated their potential, but this potential can still nourish any natural environment they inhabit, providing a special guarantee of being 'not subject to large-scale destruction'."

“The Holy Spirit can be understood as: the more spirits live together, the more they can exert the power of the world’s origin and protect nature in a subtle way.”

As soon as Lyanna finished speaking, Jia Zhengyi couldn't help but interject, "Isn't this like the World Tree? Where there are such powerful creatures, nature is invincible."

Lyanna glanced at him, then remained silent.

Okay!

This woman has stopped talking again!

Jia Zhengyi looked resentful; it seemed that only the boss deserved her respect, and no one else did.

Even Xiao Linlin was only given extra care because of her status as a "child" in Lyanna's eyes.

As for other adults, regardless of gender, Lyanna saw them all the same, not worth paying much attention to, and too lazy to communicate with them.

"Just focus on your work and don't overthink things."

Su Lin patted Jia Zhengyi on the shoulder. He was considerate of the feelings of all his followers and did not treat them as slaves.

After all, loyalty is the most important quality, while ability is secondary.

"Um."

Jia Zhengyi nodded seriously and refocused most of his attention on the investigation.

The wait during the ambush was long, but the elves were patient creatures. Under Elrell's command, all the elves had long since blended into the forest and disappeared without a trace.

It's impossible to see where these elves are hiding with just the naked eye and basic perception. Even at extremely close range, Jia Zhengyi could only vaguely sense where the elves were hiding.

"Indeed, the more spirits there are, the more special abilities they can unleash."

Jia Zhengyi muttered to himself, then glanced at Su Lin again. The shopkeeper was sitting on the ground leaning against a big tree, continuing to look through a boxing manual... Oh, no! It wasn't a boxing manual anymore; the shopkeeper had changed it!

Jia Zhengyi looked at it and it seemed to be an A-level sword manual.

It seems the boss has thoroughly mastered the boxing manual and is planning to learn other martial arts skills.

"That's fast! This competition has only been running for less than half a month, right? This self-learning speed... wow, he's like a martial arts prodigy!"

Jia Zhengyi felt something was off. The boss always said he was a fool, that he was slow at learning anything, and that he could only make up for his lack of talent by being self-disciplined and hardworking.

But Jia Zhengyi looked at it repeatedly and still couldn't believe that someone who could master an A-level martial arts skill book in half a month had no martial arts talent whatsoever.

If this isn't considered talent, then what exactly qualifies as genius? Like learning a divine skill overnight?

Jia Zhengyi didn't believe it. He knew that in the field of self-study, even with basic conditions, learning anything new takes time. No one in this world could suddenly gain enlightenment overnight.

Just like playing a new game, no one dares to say that they can become a game master overnight, but being able to master and get started faster than most people is already considered to have talent.

"Am I overthinking this? Or is it that even A-level martial arts aren't difficult enough, which is why the boss learns them so quickly?"

Jia Zhengyi was actually not quite sure and had some doubts.

He knew that Su Lin had a certain foundation in martial arts, and the strength he gained through the mechanism was at least that of a first-class martial arts expert.

Even with a foundation, one can't learn this fast, right?

It's probably because A-level martial arts aren't difficult enough. If the boss can learn them so quickly, then I should have a chance too.

Jia Zhengyi was itching to try and learn something new, so that he wouldn't have to rely solely on information positioning to make a living in the team in the future.

If we could have more combat power, the boss would think more highly of us.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhengyi, while maintaining his surveillance, quietly approached Su Lin and said, "Boss, can we talk about something?"

"Um?"

Su Lin looked up, somewhat puzzled: "Go on."

"Well..."

Jia Zhengyi rubbed his hands together, somewhat embarrassed, and made a request: "How about you give me a copy of the manual to look at, and I'll see if I can learn it... I just need to look at the basic ones. The ones the boss learned don't seem too difficult, and I'd like to give it a try too."

Su Lin smiled upon hearing this and took out a cultivation manual from his pocket: "Take a look, it's C-level, which can be considered an entry-level manual."

"I had planned to do this for a while. I wanted to let you all try the effects of self-study when I had achieved success in it myself."

"Now that you've brought it up, take a look at it more, and ask me if you have any questions."

Su Lin smiled happily. It was rare for a follower to have the desire to become stronger, especially Jia Zhengyi, who seemed to be the laziest in the team!

This surprised and delighted Su Lin. Although, from a mechanics perspective, the abilities that his followers had already mastered came from their previous self-study, it was good to learn something new now that they had the opportunity.
