"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? How could anyone live for over two thousand years? That's too unbelievable! And the awakened ability is 'immortality'???"
Wang Qiwen looked at Qin Feng with a suspicious expression: "You guys teamed up to mess with us newbies, right?"
Although Wei Xuan and Qiu Yuelin did not speak, their eyes also showed disbelief.
Qin Feng rolled his eyes: "You're making a fuss over nothing... The stronger an Awakened One is, the stronger their spirit and body will become, and their vitality and lifespan will also increase accordingly. Theoretically speaking, they can live to be twenty thousand years old, let alone two thousand years old..."
“That’s a very strong Awakened One, isn’t he a newcomer?” Wang Qiwen interrupted Qin Feng, pointing at Lu Ning.
“Lu Ning’s situation is a little different… he emerged from the fog.”
Upon hearing this, the three of them seemed to have encountered something unclean, and they retreated repeatedly, trying to stay as far away from Lu Ning as possible.
"Hey, I haven't finished yet!" Qin Feng said irritably when he saw the terrified looks on Wang Qiwen and the other two's faces. "You don't need to worry about his illness. His mental pollution level is 0, which is lower than all of yours!"
"ah????"
The three of them seemed to have heard something out of the blue, and their expressions became even more disbelieving.
Seeing their expressions, Qin Feng sighed wearily and then gave up trying to explain: "Anyway, that's the situation. Headquarters has confirmed that Lu Ning has no risk of developing the disease, so you don't need to worry. Just treat him like an ordinary person who has just awakened."
The three looked at Lu Ning, whose expression was calm and seemingly indifferent, and then at Qin Feng, and hesitated.
After a few breaths, Wei Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Since the higher-ups have already confirmed it, I will naturally trust headquarters unconditionally!"
As he spoke, he walked over, extended his hand to Lu Ning, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, as teammates, we shouldn't have doubted you!"
Lu Ning snapped out of her reverie: "Ah? Oh...it's nothing."
He reached out and shook hands with Wei Xuan, and you could clearly hear Qiu Yuelin and Wang Qiwen gasping for breath.
Warriors!
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing that the commotion had subsided, he smiled and said, "Now that everyone understands each other, we can coordinate better in combat training based on each other's abilities. Let's continue the lesson."
"The strength of an awakened ability can be increased by enhancing mental power and developing the ability in depth. For example... Wei Xuan, try using your ability."
Perhaps seeing through Wei Xuan's military nature, Qin Feng asked Wei Xuan to demonstrate.
Wei Xuan nodded, let out a low shout, and the next moment, his hands turned into gray-white rocks.
Qin Feng had Wei Xuan touch his hands together, making a thumping sound.
He explained from the side, "Look at Wei Xuan's abilities. Because his mental strength is insufficient, Wei Xuan can only petrify his hands right now. If his mental strength were strong enough, he could cover his entire arm, or even his entire body, with the petrification ability, thus eliminating any defensive weaknesses. And if he continues to develop his abilities, his petrification ability, which currently forms marble, could later form even harder rocks, such as corundum, or even diamond? Wouldn't that make him even stronger?"
Wei Xuan and the others nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Developing abilities takes time. You need to have a good understanding of your own abilities, as well as enough imagination and creativity, and you need to practice constantly to improve."
At this point, Qin Feng's expression became more serious: "However, I must remind you that using abilities consumes mental energy. If an awakened person's mental energy is excessively depleted, it can easily lead to increased mental pollution and even cause illness! Therefore, you must be careful when practicing your abilities and never allow yourself to fall into a state of mental weakness! Do you understand this?"
"Understood!" Wei Xuan and Qiu Yuelin exclaimed.
Wang Qiwen said weakly, "I understand."
Lu Ning then asked, "My mental pollution level has always been 0. Can I keep practicing to improve my abilities?"
Qin Feng and his three companions: [?_??]
They stared wide-eyed at Lu Ning as he spoke, falling silent as if a new world had been opened to them.
Qin Feng muttered to himself, "Holy crap?! You can do that?? No, it seems like it really is possible??"
Wang Qiwen looked on with envy and said sourly, "Just because your mental pollution hasn't increased doesn't mean your mental strength won't increase even if it has weakened."
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "What Wang Qiwen said makes some sense. Lu Ning, you can try to consume your mental energy. After consuming it to a certain extent, see if your mental pollution will increase. Once it increases, you won't be able to consume your mental energy to train anymore."
"No, I died twice at headquarters before. I was exhausted at the time, but my mental pollution didn't increase."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Qin Feng, looked at Lu Ning with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Lu Ning then asked, "Then how do I train my abilities? By repeatedly committing suicide and then resurrecting?"
Lu Ning spoke expressionlessly about committing suicide and coming back to life, as if he were saying he was going to eat braised pork today.
This calm demeanor sent chills down the spines of the four men.
Qiu Yuelin's body trembled slightly as she silently moved away from Lu Ning.
Wei Xuan couldn't help but grin: "Dude... be normal, I'm starting to panic."
Wang Qiwen muttered, "...Are you crazy?"
Lu Ning calmly explained, "I'm perfectly normal, I just won't die."
He paused after speaking, then added, "You don't need to be afraid."
The four people: "..."
An awkward silence fell over the air.
Qin Feng then coughed and said, "Have you ever tried inflicting some minor injuries on yourself to see if you can recover? Perhaps you can not only be resurrected from death, but also recover from injuries... huh?"
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Lu Ning stretched out his right hand and forcefully pried open his left hand.
With a sharp crack, Lu Ning's arm twisted into a strange shape.
The four of them stared blankly at Lu Ning, who remained expressionless.
Then they saw Lu Ning suddenly laugh: "It really hurts, hahaha, this is great!"
Perhaps because he had been in the fog for too long, Lu Ning felt exceptionally happy every time he could clearly feel that he was still alive, and he smiled very happily.
The other four people were horrified to see Lu Ning laughing so happily.
Wang Qiwen silently moved to Qin Feng's side, gritting his teeth and whispering, "Are you sure he's alright?! Are you really sure?!"
Qin Feng opened his mouth, about to speak.
Qiu Yuelin, however, seemed to remember something and asked, "Lu...Lu Ning, you've injured yourself so badly, what if you can't recover on your own?"
Lu Ning glanced at Qiu Yuelin, seemingly not understanding why she would ask such a strange question: "Why not just commit suicide once? Once I'm resurrected, my injuries will be healed."
The air fell silent once more.
Qin Feng's lips twitched. Facing Wang Qiwen's piercing gaze, he chuckled dryly in a low voice, "Hahaha... Headquarters confirmed it. I didn't know either."
