Before Lian Han could figure anything out, Old Man Xing in her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly experienced a surge of mental energy. Caught off guard, Lian Han nearly fell, but Jing Li caught her. "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Lian Han rubbed his temples and pushed Jing Li away. "I'm just a little weak."

Jingli looked at her hands; they were so soft. They were so different from the hands she usually interacted with, even though she was male.

However—weak? Considering that she had just said she had important business to attend to, and that Lian Han had indeed taken leave, Jing Li softened her tone slightly, "If you're not feeling well, go offline and rest. Dragging your sick body around will make you inefficient."

Lian Han was only slightly disturbed by Old Man Xing and was otherwise unharmed, but she naturally didn't want to stay with Jing Li for even a moment longer, so she immediately said, "Then I'll go back. I'll study this matter carefully later."

[What just happened?] Lian Han asked after logging off, by which time Old Man Xing had calmed down.

The last time he rioted was when he saw the wound on Jingli's back. Was it really Jingli who could move his heart the most?

Thinking of this, Lian Han felt quite disappointed. The other party had already gone through that, yet he still cared.

But this time Lian Han was wrong. Old Man Xing paused for a moment, then said, "[That little rascal Jing Li wants to save a 3S-level expert.]"

[3S? Are you sure?]

[Open the file again and take a look. Since you didn't plan to join the army, I didn't have you learn any specific basic military knowledge.]

Seeing Lian Han open the file, the old man continued: [First, look at his physical strength. Generally speaking, an S-rank person's physical strength can only reach 1000, at most 1200; then 2S is around 2000, and 3S is mostly between 3000 and 3200. Look at his level, just the range is 3000, definitely 3S level.]

Lian Han raised an eyebrow. She wasn't a medical student, so her understanding of this was naturally superficial. But she would remember whatever Old Man Xing said. It might come in handy later.

[Why is the brain activity in that region so low?]

[This should be a problem with yourself. But if your brain is functioning normally, such low activity is indeed unusual. Let me think about it.]

[Oh.] Lian Han nodded, then asked, [So what did you riot about just now? Just because the other party is 3S? Don't try to fool me. What's your relationship with that person?]

[Um—during the riot just now, I suddenly realized my mental energy was a bit chaotic, so I'm going to recover first.]

Lian Han: ...It was her sea of ​​consciousness that was just impacted by mental energy. If anyone needs to rest, it should be her, okay? Couldn't you come up with a better excuse?

But when Old Man Xing sank into his spiritual sea, becoming like a dead object, even Han Na couldn't do anything about it.

She had no choice but to continue studying this bizarre data, but lacking medical knowledge, she had to look up relevant information...

Gran Liquid – Sublimates spiritual power, completely ending the awakening of innate attributes.

The term "final attribute awakening" sounds like a very bad thing.

After all, according to normal thinking, if one's spiritual power is elevated, one's talent should be even stronger. That was what Pei Sumei thought at the time, but Xiao Ya vehemently rejected this idea and gave her a lecture.

Xiaoya's claim is that the method of awakening spiritual power was abandoned by humanity in their time.

They discovered that mental power is the purest and most fundamental force before awakening one's innate attributes. While awakening one's talents enhances certain aspects, mental power gradually becomes more singular, making further breakthroughs extremely difficult—essentially a net loss.

In this situation, once humanity developed mental source technology, the path of awakening was directly abandoned.

Spiritual Source Techniques, or Source Techniques for short, come in a variety of categories, and once mastered, they are no less valuable than the talents gained after spiritual awakening.

Since you have awakened the talent of blocking, I can directly learn the blocking source technique. I may be weaker than you at the beginning and it will take me longer, but I can learn other source techniques in the future!

Moreover, my mental strength is close to the source, so I can consume less mental strength for the same output, and I can directly crush you under the same level!

Therefore, Pei Sumei was persuaded.

After the system had enough energy, she dutifully exchanged for the Gran Liquid, preparing to end her attribute. After all, her mental strength attribute was rather useless anyway.

I must say, the Ge Lan liquid was much better than the body-tempering liquid I drank before. After drinking it, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. I didn't feel any pain at all during the whole process.

When Pei Sumei woke up again, she received a notification from Xiao Ya: "[Xiao Mei, congratulations! The path to awakening your mental power attribute is finally closed.]"

[Hmm.] Pei Sumei rubbed her eyes, still feeling sleepy.

[Don't sleep! Take this opportunity to practice the source techniques you learned before, and you'll master them completely.]

Is there really such a good thing?

Pei Sumei forced herself to cheer up. No wonder Xiao Ya had insisted on making her learn so many things, resulting in her not being proficient in any of them. So that's what was going on!

Fighting off sleepiness, Pei Sumei started with the earliest technique she had encountered: detection. She practiced blocking, concealment, and destruction one by one, and then—fell asleep again.

Xiaoya, who was watching from the sidelines: ...

Xiao Mei actually finished the training. If I had known she was so determined to stay awake until the end, I would have let her learn a few more source techniques.

However, this can be considered exploiting loopholes, and going too far is not good.

...

I slept soundly until the world was dark.

When Pei Sumei woke up and saw her roommates, she was a little confused. What were they doing in her room?

The girl in the lead breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're awake. You've been asleep for two days. I told you the military training instructor was too strict with you. Our little Mei is only twelve years old. How dare he?"

Two days? That's been so long! Pei Sumei said apologetically, "Did I miss military training?"

"These are all minor matters, so don't worry about them. However, your parents asked about you yesterday, so you should still go and see them."

Parents? Pei Sumei was taken aback, but she knew it wasn't her sister Xiaohan, who was currently busy. Her mother and brother were even less likely to be there. So, these parents—Pei Sumei's expression changed.

"Sisters, I'll go online and tell her first. You can go ahead and do what you need to do; I'm full of energy right now."

"Then be careful, and call us if anything happens. Don't suffer in silence by yourself."

The group of people clearly assumed that Pei Sumei had collapsed from exhaustion during military training, and considering her age, they treated her like a younger sister.

Watching them leave, Pei Sumei's smile vanished. She took a deep breath and activated the Skynet connection pod.

That person—though she didn't know what their purpose was, she had to face them eventually, and deal with them before her sister returned. Thankfully, her sister didn't know she had left the capital, otherwise she might have gotten a beating from her.

"Finally here?" The man was already waiting for Pei Sumei.

"I didn't do it on purpose," Pei Sumei muttered under her breath. "But what exactly is your purpose? What could you possibly want from me?"

"I can't say," the woman smiled. "You'll know later."

Pei Sumei rolled her eyes. Later, later, and later again!
