When Qingshan arrived at Luo Wenyuan's dorm, Colonel Luo was already dressed and ready to go. Qingshan stood at the door, stroking his chin as he watched, inwardly admiring him: This Luo Wenyuan looks even better when he stands up. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and perky hips. Most importantly, his legs are so long and straight. It would be a shame if he didn't go on a catwalk.

Luo Wenyuan was still dressed in his summer camouflage training uniform, with a wide-brimmed beanie hat on his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows. Seeing Qingshan approaching, Luo Wenyuan nodded to her and asked Zhaxi to drive, taking Qingshan to the mountains behind the military base.

There was no conversation along the way, and the three of them soon arrived at a forest on a hilly terrain at the foot of the mountain. Luo Wenyuan left Zhaxi waiting there and went into the forest first.

Qingshan followed him, puzzled. Luo Wenyuan's eyesight hadn't recovered yet, but he seemed particularly familiar with the woods, alerting Qingshan to any potholes or bumps in the ground. He'd walk for a while, then stop and squat, placing his palms on the ground, holding his breath, as if trying to sense something. After a moment, he'd determined the direction and continued on, leading Qingshan forward.

"Luo—Wenyuan, are you familiar with this forest? Can you see the path clearly?"

Qingshan finally stopped calling him Chief, and Luo Wenyuan was in a good mood:

"In the wild, I can sense the environment through other channels."

Qingshan's eyes lit up. Another channel? Could it be relying on supernatural powers?

"What channel?"

Luo Wenyuan suddenly stopped, and Qingshan, following behind him, failed to brake in time and bumped his face into Luo Wenyuan's back, making him scream "short!" Luo Wenyuan turned around and looked down at the shadow that seemed to be rubbing its nose, and thought to himself: Tsk, shorty, not even up to my shoulder.

Luo Wenyuan bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, held it in his palm, and stretched his hand in front of Qingshan.

"My ability is earth control."

Qingshan blinked her peach-blossom eyes, looking puzzledly at his palms, then up at his face, unsure of what he was doing. Suddenly, the soil in Luo Wenyuan's palms shifted. The loose dirt slowly gathered, transforming into a small, intricately shaped, hollowed-out spherical bell with a simple, ancient pattern! Even a skilled craftsman, meticulously carving a bell like this with a chisel, would take the better part of a day, but Luo Wenyuan manipulated the clay to create it in just a dozen seconds, like magic. Perhaps Qingshan already knew he was an earth-type psychic, or was simply stunned by his precise earth control abilities, his mouth forming an O.

"H-How did you do that?"

Qingshan's astonishment pleased Luo Wenyuan. He retracted his fingers and clenched the clay bell in his fist. Then, a sizzling sound emanated from his palm, like water splashed on a hot stove. When Luo Wenyuan opened his hand again, the clay bell had transformed into a khaki ceramic bell. With a gentle shake, the small beads inside the hollow ball jingled crisply.

Luo Wenyuan placed the bell in Qingshan's palm and patiently explained it to her.

"Superpower warriors can be roughly divided into five types: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They can utilize the environmental conditions that determine their own abilities. For example, I have dual earth and fire abilities. When I'm in a place with soil, I can resonate with it and sense the surrounding environment within a certain distance."

Qingshan played with the little bell and thought to himself that Luo Wenyuan was really a reincarnated cat. Any toy he made could be a bell. Wow, it looks pretty good!

"What does it mean to have ability resonance communication?"

Luo Wenyuan frowned, as if considering how to answer:

"It's hard to explain this feeling in words. It's as if the land becomes a part of me as long as I'm standing on it. My feelings can be extended beyond a certain range through the land."

Qingshan understood. No wonder his eyesight seemed to be restored after he entered the woods. It turned out that he relied on earth-based abilities to sense the surrounding environment.

"So what's your maximum perception distance?"

"The longest straight-line distance is two kilometers, and the circular range is relatively short, with a radius of about eight hundred meters."

"You know everything that happens within this area?"

Luo Wenyuan shook his head: "Only ground activities."

Qingshan said "Oh", it turns out that superpowers are not omnipotent.

"So, how many people like you are there?"

Luo Wenyuan saw the shadow in front of him with its head down, looking weak and helpless, and his heart softened.

"People like us!"

"Um?"

"You are also a mutant."

"H-How do you know?"
