28: Chapter 28 Barbarian God Power
“Holy crap... is it really that exciting?”
Ling Yichen was shocked.
If both the Divine and Demonic bloodlines awakened together, it would undoubtedly be extremely powerful.
“If Ye Qingzhu really awakened the Divine and Demonic bloodlines, she would possess Divine and Demonic essence blood within her. Then, the Worm I placed inside her body would evolve by sucking on that essence blood. By then, let alone an Intelligence Worm, evolving into a King Insect is entirely possible!”
Thinking of this, Ling Yichen became inexplicably excited.
Once a King Insect appears, even someone like W, who possesses a thick Divine Bloodline, could be easily parasitized.
At that time, he should be able to ignore that kind of shield, fight his way back to Sky City, and settle everything with the people from the Celestial God Laboratory!
Ling Yichen couldn't help but clench his fists!
Although he escaped the Celestial God Laboratory by the skin of his teeth, he didn't plan on hiding forever.
When he possessed the strength to rival them, he would definitely fight his way back to settle everything.
Six years of imprisonment and abuse; he would definitely make them pay the price!
Just as he was daydreaming about his future revenge, Ye Qingzhu's communicator rang. A few seconds later, Ye Qingzhu rushed out of the room and said to Ling Yichen, who hadn't closed the door yet, “I... my dad seems to have awakened. Can you accompany me there? They are on the bus right now!”
Hearing this, Ling Yichen naturally agreed gladly. He went inside to change his clothes and then followed Ye Qingzhu out.
...
At the entrance of the Central District Central Hospital.
Tang Juan and Ye Songtao were there at this moment.
They were isolated in a corner by the hospital guards to prevent Ye Songtao from accidentally hurting ordinary people since he couldn't control his newly awakened power well.
At this moment, Ye Songtao was squatting on the ground, lost and bewildered, and Tang Juan beside him was the same.
Awakening in his forties was truly bizarre.
Following Ye Qingzhu's awakening, they moved to the Central District and gained a preliminary understanding of Awakened Ones. They knew that most people awakened before the age of 20, and a small portion awakened between 20 and 30. However, awakening in one's 40s was truly a rare occurrence.
After all, as one ages, a person's vitality gradually declines; the older one gets, the harder it is to awaken.
So Ye Songtao was very confused right now; how did he suddenly awaken?
Of course, it wasn't just Ye Songtao who was confused; the guards at the hospital entrance were too.
These guards were also Awakened Ones, but their power levels were low, and they were older with no room for growth, so they chose to work at the hospital to earn a stable income to support their families.
It was the first time they had seen someone their age awaken, and it felt very novel.
“Brother, what Supernatural Ability did you awaken?”
A guard asked curiously, not forgetting to offer a cigarette after speaking.
Hearing this, Ye Songtao looked up at him, reached out to take the cigarette, and just as he was about to light it, Tang Juan snatched it away.
“Your health isn't good, don't smoke!” Tang Juan said softly.
Ye Songtao didn't mind and nodded slightly, then answered the guard's question: “I don't know, I just feel like I have endless strength in my body!”
Hearing this, several guards looked at each other, and finally, the person who asked said, “After awakening, your physical strength is several times stronger than an ordinary person's, so it's normal to have that feeling.”
Ye Songtao nodded blankly after hearing this.
He didn't know much about the physical fitness of Awakened Ones and didn't know what others' physical strength was generally like.
However, he really felt like his strength was overflowing right now, just like he had just finished at the gym, and he really wanted to show off his muscles to others.
He really wanted to grab something or throw something right now.
The next second, his gaze turned to the stone pillars at the hospital entrance.
Those stone pillars were made of bluestone, extremely heavy, each weighing at least a thousand catties.
“Can I go move that?”
Ye Songtao said, pointing to the stone pillars.
Several guards looked at the stone pillars in unison, and the person who asked immediately replied, “Sure!”
The next second, he said again, “Forget it, don't go over there, I'll move it over!”
As he spoke, he walked to the stone pillar, took a deep breath, then leaned over, hugged the round top of the stone pillar with both hands, and lifted it abruptly.
The stone pillar was immediately lifted off the ground, but the man's face instantly flushed red as blood.
His strength was only at the lowest F-level, and his physical fitness was only about three or four times stronger than an ordinary person's, so holding such a thousand-catty stone pillar with both hands was still very strenuous.
The other guards saw this and immediately burst into laughter.
“Old Chen, you're not strong enough, let me help you!”
Immediately, another person walked over to help him hold the stone pillar.
With two people holding the stone pillar, it immediately became easier.
When the stone pillar was placed at Ye Songtao's feet, both of them were quite exhausted.
The other person's strength was about the same as the one named Old Chen.
“Thanks!”
Ye Songtao thanked them, then took a deep breath, leaned over, hugged the stone pillar, and lifted it with force!
Huh~
The expected heaviness did not appear.
On the contrary, it was so light, and ridiculously light at that!
This scene made the two people who moved the stone pillar widen their eyes, asking in confusion, “Is it not heavy?”
Ye Songtao shook his head gently: “Not heavy!”
As he spoke, he put the stone pillar down, then grabbed the top of the stone pillar with only one hand and lifted it gently!
A terrifying scene occurred.
This thousand-catty stone pillar was actually lifted up easily with one hand.
At this moment, everyone's mouths were wide open enough to fit an egg!
This strength was definitely not something a newly awakened person should possess, unless he awakened a Supernatural Ability related to strength.
“You might have awakened a Supernatural Ability related to strength; I just don't know what your limit strength is.”
“Seeing you so relaxed, your one-handed strength is at least two thousand catties; this already counts as strength approaching D-level.”
For strength-type Awakened Ones, the basis for power level assessment is testing one-handed strength.
One-handed 1000 catties is F-level.
One-handed 2000 catties is E-level.
One-handed 3000 catties is D-level.
One-handed 5000 catties is C-level.
One-handed 10,000 catties reaches B-level.
One-handed 50,000 catties is A-level.
One-handed 100,000 catties reaches the legendary S-level.
As for SS-level and SSS-level, there is currently no data showing that such beings exist.
At least not on the Surface.
“Although strength-type Awakened Ones have a single method of attack, they excel at breaking techniques with brute force; one force overcomes ten skills. Improving is also relatively simple and crude, making it easy to rank up!”
“Although you are already in your 40s, brother, and your vitality isn't as good as when you were young, with your current state, once you are rated as D-level, it will be enough to support your whole family.”
Old Chen said, his eyes full of envy.
The points subsidy for an F-level Awakened One is 100 points per month, and for an E-level Awakened One, it is 300 points per month.
The points subsidy for a D-level Awakened One is 500 points per month, which is 50,000 in credit points per month, enough for a family of five to eat and drink without worry.
This is a treatment they can only look forward to but never reach.
While they were chatting, Ling Yichen and Ye Qingzhu finally arrived.
“Dad, are you okay?”
Ye Qingzhu rushed up eagerly, her eyes full of worry.
“I'm fine, I'm doing great!”
Ye Songtao was very happy.
Because the guard said he might be an E-level or even D-level Awakened One, with a monthly points subsidy of at least 300 points.
If he had that much money a month, he wouldn't need to worry about the surgery fees.
Even if he had to borrow, he would have the confidence to pay it back, and the reimbursement rate for Awakened Ones was higher, so how could he not be happy?
“Uncle, I just saw that you seemed to be able to lift a stone pillar with one hand. Did you awaken a strength-type Supernatural Ability?”
Ling Yichen asked warmly.
When they got off the car across the street, they happened to see the scene of Ye Songtao lifting the pillar with one hand.
Ye Songtao nodded immediately: “Yeah, it should be strength-type. I can lift a pillar with one hand, and it doesn't feel very strenuous!”
Ye Songtao was extremely excited.
“Congratulations to you, Uncle, for becoming an Awakened One. Later, follow the people from the Extraordinary Management Association to get tested, and you'll know your specific strength.”
As the words fell, a cool car appeared at the hospital entrance, and three people stepped out, one woman and two men.
When Ye Qingzhu saw the three of them, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the people who came were none other than Liu Mei and her two companions.
“Hey, what a coincidence, we meet again!”
Liu Mei naturally saw them too. She was as elegant and cold as ever, making the hospital guards stare blankly.
And the two guards beside her, after feeling their gazes, immediately scolded: “Get lost, a bunch of useless trash! If you dare to look again, be careful, or I'll gouge your eyes out!”
Several guards immediately withdrew their gazes sheepishly and cleared the way.
To them, Liu Mei and her companions were superior existences.
Because their strength was right there, and they had no possibility of ranking up.
In the strictly hierarchical Central District, having great strength meant being a master-like existence; one wrong move could bring trouble.
And they obviously didn't want to cause trouble.
“Since the masters from the Extraordinary Management Association are here, we'll withdraw.”
The guard named Old Chen said, and immediately led his brothers to withdraw quickly.
Liu Mei didn't care about them, just stared quietly at Ye Qingzhu, while not forgetting to sweep her gaze back and forth over Ling Yichen, her eyes quite brazen, locking onto Ling Yichen's private parts several times.
Because the two of them came in a hurry, neither of them was wearing a mask.
“This is your father, right? Congratulations, there's another Awakened One in the family!”
Liu Mei said warmly, then glanced at Ling Yichen and asked, “Your boyfriend?”
She was naturally asking Ye Qingzhu.
Ye Qingzhu's little face flushed red immediately, and she shook her head violently: “No, no, just a neighbor!”
“Oh~”
Liu Mei revealed a brilliant smile, then moved to Ling Yichen's side, grabbed his arm, and asked softly, “Little brother, do you want to join big sister's team? Although big sister's strength isn't top-tier, protecting you shouldn't be a problem.”
As soon as these words were out, Ye Qingzhu's expression stiffened.
Thinking of what W said yesterday, she looked at Ling Yichen with a nervous expression.
Liu Mei inviting Ling Yichen to join her team was essentially announcing in a roundabout way that she had taken a fancy to Ling Yichen and wanted to make Ling Yichen her... pet!
Although, judging from the team's configuration, it was highly likely that these two boys were Liu Mei's pets.
But the specific situation was really hard to say; after all, Liu Mei looked stronger than the other two, and they seemed to be following Liu Mei's instructions all the time.
Could it be that Liu Mei was keeping them both?
At this moment, some bizarre scenes suddenly popped into Ye Qingzhu's mind.
One woman... two men!
Ah, this~
Ye Qingzhu's little face suddenly flushed red like pig's blood~
But immediately she realized that she had let her imagination run wild.
“Um... Sister Liu Mei, he is already on my team, he is my team member!”
Ye Qingzhu puffed out her chest and said to Liu Mei very seriously, looking like a fighting chicken protecting its territory!
