Are you out of your mind? What's so interesting about sleeping?

It was terrifying in the middle of the night; I thought I'd seen a ghost.

Fang Rong leaned closer to look, and a pair of dark eyes slowly approached from the opposite side, even blinking.

"Ah!" he screamed and fell back onto the bed.

They were clearly startled too, letting out a scream that sounded strangely familiar.

"Li Wenyang?" Fang Rong looked completely bewildered. "What are you doing outside?"

Li Wenyang's voice came through the wall, "I felt something was off last night, like I was being watched, it was so awkward."

"You have this feeling too?" Fang Rong felt a slight sense of unease. "We might be being watched."

Li Wenyang came around from the outside and said, "It's not us, it's you who's being watched."

Fang Rong threw a pillow at her, "Why did you scare me like that?"

“I’m not trying to scare you, but you really are being targeted.” Li Wenyang said solemnly. “It’s probably that orc. You were with Fang Hua yesterday, so you didn’t get a chance to make a move, but I bet he’ll come back.”

"What should we do then?" He didn't want to go to the primeval forest and serve a dozen people all by himself; he would die from exhaustion.

“From now on, you can’t be alone. It’s best to stay with Fang Hua at all times.” Li Wenyang sealed up the hole in the wall with newspaper. “While he’s away, you’ll stay with me and can’t leave my side for a moment.”

"Can you protect me?" I wonder who ran the fastest last time.

“I’m definitely no match for brute force, but I can still put up a fight when it comes to wits,” Li Wenyang said with a smile. “Don’t worry too much. There are plenty of fish in the sea. If he can’t find an opportunity to make a move, he’ll definitely fall for someone else. After all, it’s better to have a whole forest than one tree.”

The entire military region is like a forest, containing countless people like Fang Rong who have superpowers but cannot transform. They are also part of the fighting force, and some of them can even fight dragons one-on-one.

Of course, Fang Rong is also an option, provided that she doesn't encounter that fire dragon. The fire dragon's fire ability has mutated due to its long-term consumption of mineral-rich flowers, resulting in a mixture of fire poison and an inextinguishable attribute.

Fang Hua suffered a great loss the first time he was unaware of the situation, and it took him two days to recover from his injury.

Moreover, the fire dragon's defense is unparalleled. It has a thin membrane covering its entire body, which is fireproof and waterproof. Sometimes it can even reduce Fang Hua's electric current. It's incredibly powerful.

"He was unsuspecting. Do you think I can kill him?" There was always a potential enemy lurking in the shadows, which made me uneasy.

Are the military district's defenses just for show? Why are people able to come and go as they please?

In fact, the military region's defenses are still useful for most people, but they can't stop people like Fang Hua, let alone something like that fire dragon.

"The chances aren't great, but it's worth a try." Li Wenyang contradicted him, "If it doesn't work, you'll have to serve more than a dozen people. Can you handle that?"

"It's not necessarily that bad luck, and Fang Hua will save me."

“What if he fails too?” Li Wenyang shook his head. “Since we’re going to do it, we need to be absolutely certain. Even if we’re not, we need to think clearly about the consequences and be fully prepared. At worst, we’ll just get ripped off.”

Fang Rong kicked him, "Do you think of it as a toy, something to be played with?"

Li Wenyang quickly changed the subject, "By the way, where's Fang Hua?"

"He went out early this morning." The two chatted for a while, and when they looked at their watches, it was almost time for training.

"Hurry up, we're going to be late!" Fang Rong exclaimed.

"So what if I'm late?" Li Wenyang didn't care at all.

He always gives the impression of being careless and casual in his work, but somehow he always manages to get things done.

"I'm leaving now." Fang Rong quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and left, but Li Wenyang quickly grabbed him.

"You forgot, you can't stray too far from me."

"Then hurry up!"

Li Wenyang spat out the foam in his mouth, rinsed himself off quickly, and then left.

"By the way, did Fang Hua say anything yesterday?"

"No." He didn't even know when he left.

"That shouldn't be the case." Li Wenyang couldn't understand it. "Fang Hua's abilities are stronger than ours, there's no way he couldn't sense it."

"Hmm." Fang Rong recalled his personality, "He must have secretly taken care of it while I wasn't around."

Fang Hua is like that; he basically won't tell you anything unless you ask.

"Hmm." Li Wenyang nodded. "It's easier to handle him since he's on his own and not burdened by us."

That's the truth, and the truth is often very hurtful.

Fang Rong was a little sad. "It seems I need to train harder."

Li Wenyang shook his head. "Fang Rong, your superpower is actually very powerful, but your mindset can't keep up. You always think you're weak and you're hesitant to do things."

"Um?"

"You need to let go and not worry about the moves, just move as you please." Li Wenyang understood these profound principles better than anyone else; he had a very insightful mind.

"Is that so?" Fang Rong asked, somewhat confused. "You think my special ability is very powerful?"

“Yes.” Li Wenyang nodded. “You can control everything around you, including the superpowers that others use. If you are stronger, you can even compete with others for control of superpowers.”

"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?" If he were strong enough to compete with others for control of his superpowers, he could have taken the fire breathed by that fire dragon that night and used it to attack himself.

“I only thought of that recently.” Li Wenyang started running. “Don’t forget, humans are things too, you can use them.”

"That's true." Strictly speaking, humans are just things that can move; if they can be controlled, they will only become stronger.
