Yang Shen's powerful senses told him that it was raining outside and there was a sound of something falling, but he was too engrossed in his work to pay attention.
Because each upgrade to an item enhances neural and cognitive responses, and while a single upgrade may seem small, the cumulative effect can be quite significant.
Each time he was strengthened, Yang Shen felt as if his spirit and soul were being sublimated, which enhanced his understanding of everything.
Now, his comprehension ability has exceeded the imagination of many people.
In his view, combat techniques like the "Smashing Monument Hand" were incredibly simple, as they were merely a matter of energy being arranged in a specific pattern within the palm, and then exploding at the moment of attack.
However, Yang Shen felt that this combat technique was not very practical, because the energy gathered would be completely exhausted after just one attack, just like a one-time special effect.
That would be less powerful than simply compressing the energy and throwing it out.
Most importantly, the energy can cause tremendous damage to the user at the moment of explosion.
In his view, the "Smashing Stele Hand" martial art should be a close-combat technique, and a close-combat technique should protect the user while inflicting greater damage on the enemy.
Therefore, he used energy to weave within the flesh of his palm, allowing the energy to merge with the palm, strengthening and protecting the palm while also generating a high-frequency vibration effect.
In this way, the palm can generate tremendous destructive power at the moment of impact with the target without causing too much harm to itself.
"This... not only did he learn it instantly after just one glance, but he can even modify it?"
Looking at Yang Shen's right hand, which flickered between light and shadow, and especially feeling the faint energy contained within it, yet producing an aura that made her heart tremble, Yang Hongyan felt that her worldview had been somewhat overturned.
Is this still my own brother?
"This...could it have already reached the power of a mid-grade or high-grade mortal-level combat skill?" Yang Hongyan murmured.
"Bang—"
Suddenly, a loud crash came from outside, interrupting Yang Shen's thoughts. He looked up in confusion and saw a deep pit in the road in the distance.
Yang Shen frowned slightly, walked to the door and looked outside. He saw that the winter sun was still shining obliquely, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
"call out……"
As you can see, some creatures, accompanied by flames, descend from the sky amidst the rain, landing in various places.
Yang Hongyan also came to the door and, seeing the situation outside, exclaimed in surprise, "How could a creature fall from the sky? Is it raining? Why aren't there any dark clouds?"
"This should be the second major calamity," Yang Shen said, frowning.
"A second major calamity? What are you talking about, brother?" Yang Hongyan asked, puzzled.
Yang took a deep breath and said, "Hongyan, you should know about the scientists who opened up the space portal before the apocalypse, right?"
"Yes, I know. I also know that the apocalyptic virus appeared from that spatial portal."
“Yes. That was the first spatial passage. According to Huang Xue, those crazy scientists will open another spatial passage in the next few days, but the location is uncertain.”
Yang Shen squinted at the sky: "Now it seems that the second spatial passage is probably high in the sky."
"A second space portal?" Yang Hongyan exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't those scientists afraid of wiping out humanity?"
Yang Shen just sneered when he heard this. He couldn't understand the scientists' thoughts either, but if he knew where those scientists were, he would definitely go and kill them all!
"However, if that's all, it shouldn't be considered a major calamity. There might be something even more terrifying."
Yang Shen thought for a moment and asked, "Hongyan, can you tell me about your special ability?"
The most important thing now is to improve my sister and Elaine's survival skills so that they can better cope with the great calamity that may come next.
His biggest fear was that his sister's superpower would be like his, unable to be cultivated or improved, and requiring the use of superpowers to improve, which would cause a lot of trouble and restrictions.
"Of course you can."
Yang Hongyan said, "My special ability is actually very simple. My attack power is not strong, but as long as it is a living organism, no matter how strong it is, I can cut it down."
"Any living organism can be cut up? That's quite impressive." Yang Shen exclaimed in surprise.
"That's not how it works. My cutting technique is harmless. Even if it cuts the other person into pieces, those pieces still have life force. The life force won't be lost, and there won't be any bleeding. They will still be a whole," Yang Hongyan explained.
Yang Shen was immediately taken aback. This ability seemed quite miraculous: "I heard from someone that your special ability is in the healing field? It's said that healing others can enhance your special ability?"
"It's not actually that exaggerated."
Yang Hongyan spread her hands, and a delicate scalpel appeared in her hand: "This scalpel is my superpower. Only I can hold this scalpel, because once it leaves my hand, it will disappear and must be summoned again. Anyone whose surgery I have performed will have their pain and illness devoured by this scalpel, and then the scalpel will become stronger, and I myself will also become stronger."
She paused, then added, "However, in devouring disease and pain, I also have to give up a small amount of my life force, which can be considered a kind of exchange."
"To sacrifice one's life force?"
Yang Shen frowned and asked, "Does it have a big impact on you?"
"It's nothing," Yang Hongyan said with a smile, afraid that her brother would worry. "When the scalpel devours pain and disease, it quickly transforms into life force, so my life force is actually inexhaustible."
