Chapter 278 The End of the High Temperature Era: Striving Forward



After organizing the countless supplies, Su Yao immediately began her special training journey for her parents.

As dawn broke, the morning light struggled to pierce the thick smog, and Su Yao's family was already drenched in sweat in the small courtyard of their safe house. Su Yao had meticulously planned a series of detailed and rigorous physical training programs for her parents. Although her father was getting old, he gritted his teeth and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cycle of push-ups and sit-ups. Each push-up and drop was accompanied by the tension of his muscles and the splash of sweat. His resolute expression seemed to declare his indomitable determination to this scorching apocalypse. Her mother was not to be outdone, focusing on squats and jumping exercises. Although the high temperature made her movements slightly slower and her breathing more rapid, the determination in her eyes never wavered.

"Dad, make your movements more precise, pay attention to engaging your abdominal muscles. Mom, keep it up, you're doing great, perseverance leads to victory!" Su Yao closely watched her parents' training, offering precise guidance and enthusiastic encouragement from time to time. At the same time, her eyes were always vigilantly scanning her surroundings, constantly on guard against any potential dangers.

As the sun blazed high in the sky, its scorching heat relentlessly engulfing the world like a raging inferno, the family retreated into their safe house to begin their training in awakening and mastering their supernatural abilities. They sat cross-legged, eyes closed, attempting to capture and sense the faint, mysterious supernatural energy hidden deep within their bodies in the stifling heat.

"Mom and Dad, calm down, clear your mind of all distractions, and focus all your attention on your own breath and senses. Try to find that faint, warm current in your meridians, as if groping for a glimmer of light in the darkness." Su Yao guided them softly, her voice steady and firm, like a guiding star in the quiet night sky.

Initially, the parents' progress was quite slow. The supernatural power, like a mischievous sprite, darted about within them, elusive and difficult to control. However, with Su Yao's patient companionship, meticulous guidance, and heartwarming encouragement day after day, they finally began to improve. The father was the first to break through the barriers, pleasantly surprised to find a powerful surge of heat slowly gathering deep within his abdomen, like a blazing star poised to unleash its boundless potential power. The mother then also had an epiphany; a faint light flickered at her fingertips, like playful fragments of starlight leaping and dancing—a clear sign that she was beginning to master her supernatural power.

As time quietly passed, the parents made remarkable progress in both physical abilities and supernatural perception. However, in this apocalyptic world ravaged by extreme heat, peace and tranquility were forever just a fleeting illusion.

One day, Su Yao, with the help of the system, keenly detected a powerful and strange energy fluctuation rapidly approaching the safe house. Her expression instantly turned solemn, and she quickly instructed her parents to enter the core defense area of ​​the safe house and be on high alert, while she resolutely went alone to investigate the source of this mysterious threat.

Not far from the safe house, on a barren, scorched wasteland, Su Yao witnessed a group of terrifying giant pythons mutated by intense heat. These pythons were enormous, resembling winding, undulating hills, their bodies covered in scales that shimmered with a cold, metallic luster. Each scale seemed like a meticulously forged, indestructible shield. Their eyes, like two eerie, burning flames, revealed their bloodthirsty and ferocious nature. They flicked their forked tongues, occasionally spewing out scorching venom. Wherever they passed, the ground was instantly corroded, leaving huge, deep pits belching acrid black smoke, like gruesome wounds left by the earth's painful struggle.

Su Yao took a deep breath and quickly activated her supernatural shield. A layer of eerie blue light instantly enveloped her entire body, like an indestructible azure armor. Simultaneously, her hands rapidly formed hand seals, and she chanted incantations. A supernatural longsword radiating a chilling light instantly appeared in her palm, its blade shimmering with mysterious runes, as if whispering an ancient oath of power. Without hesitation, she charged towards the swarm of giant pythons like an arrow released from a bow. Her longsword sliced ​​through the scorching air with a sharp whistling sound. Each strike contained immense power and exquisite technique, precisely targeting the pythons' vital points. However, the pythons' defenses were unimaginably strong. Su Yao's blade struck their hard scales, only managing to send up a few faint sparks, failing to inflict any real damage.

"The skin of these giant pythons is as if it were cast in steel, and ordinary attacks are ineffective. We must find their fatal weakness." Su Yao pondered to herself, her eyes sharp, maintaining calm and wisdom even in the midst of fierce battle.

While skillfully dodging the pythons' ferocious attacks like a storm, her figure weaving and dodging among the pythons like a ghost, she intently observed their behavior and attack patterns, trying to find their weaknesses and vulnerabilities. In the heart-stopping life-or-death struggle, Su Yao finally discovered that whenever these pythons launched a powerful attack, their abdomens would briefly expose a relatively weak area, and for a fleeting moment, tiny gaps would appear between their scales.

"Now!" Seizing this fleeting, perfect opportunity, Su Yao channeled all her supernatural power into the tip of her longsword like a surging tide, simultaneously chanting an ancient power incantation. The longsword instantly blazed with light, transforming into a dazzling blue rainbow that pierced the giant python's weakest point on its belly with overwhelming force. This strike, imbued with all of Su Yao's power and unwavering resolve, pierced the python's belly with pinpoint accuracy. The giant python, severely wounded, let out a deafening roar of pain, its massive body writhing and thrashing wildly on the ground, raising a cloud of dust and sand that blotted out the sky.
