130: The real superpower
“I believe everyone has seen it. This kind of combat footage is what Ability users' battles look like.”
“Our Ability Levels, from Tier 1 to Tier 9, can actually be divided into three stages.”
“Tier 1 to Tier 3, this can be called the awakening stage. Only when you enter Tier 3 and undergo a second awakening are you a true Ability user. Before awakening, we call you an Awakener.”
When Shen Yi had just entered Tier 3, he clearly felt that at Tier 3, his Ability significantly amplified his body.
Shen Yi found these pieces of knowledge very strange, wondering why the Living Department teachers didn't teach him.
“For you to enter Tier 3 before the age of 18 is enough to prove that you have become a qualified Ability user.”
“If an Ability user has not undergone a second awakening, even if they reach Tier 9, they can only be considered a Tier 9 Awakener.”
Upon hearing Dong Yichun's words, the students below fell into deep thought.
What the teacher said opened a new world for him. The awakening this morning had already greatly shocked Shen Yi.
To put it simply, a second awakening is like enchanting an Ability.
His second awakening, which transformed his ordinary Fire Ability into Soul-Burning Flame, was one such change.
“Tier 3 is the most important stage for you. A second awakening is just one aspect.”
“The basic Forging Body Technique we are about to learn is the second aspect.”
“Teacher, is there a third aspect?” a student below asked.
“Don't be too ambitious. Once you've mastered the basics of the Forging Body Technique, then you can think about other things.”
Dong Yichun answered the student's question with a chuckle.
On the screen behind him, the content of the basic Forging Body Technique was displayed.
The students all stared at the screen, carefully memorizing it.
“This is the basic Forging Body Technique. When you can fight like in the previous video, your basic Forging Body Technique will be considered successful.”
“Now you can choose your preferred or most skilled weapon and begin practicing the basic Forging Body Technique.”
The Forging Body Technique, when combined with a weapon, would be easier to cultivate.
Shen Yi silently memorized the Forging Body Technique and began to learn.
The Forging Body Technique had a total of eight movements. As he began to cultivate, Shen Yi felt the Fire Ability within his body slowly penetrate into his limbs.
It hurt a little, but he could feel that as the Fire Ability integrated into his limbs, his strength increased slightly.
If he didn't understand something, he would ask the teacher.
“Ding~”
“Detected that the host is learning the basic Forging Body Technique. Do you want to consume one freely distributable attribute point to upgrade?”
As soon as Shen Yi began cultivating the basic Forging Body Technique, the system prompted him.
“Upgrade.”
“One freely distributable attribute point consumed. Basic Forging Body Technique successfully upgraded.”
With the upgrade of the basic Forging Body Technique, Shen Yi clearly felt his body's strength increase by a level.
When he threw a punch, a wisp of white flame flashed past.
Even his attributes underwent a huge change. Originally, after the last Living Department dinner, his level had increased by two stars.
His Strength reached 45 points, and after the basic Forging Body Technique was successfully upgraded, his Strength points directly reached 50 points.
The basic Forging Body Technique had upgraded from beginner to proficient.
Dong Yichun also noticed Shen Yi at this moment. Seeing the wisp of white flame when he threw a punch made his pupils contract.
He was greatly alarmed. How was this possible? He had just started learning, but judging by his punching, he had clearly passed the beginner stage.
“Shen Yi, come to the front and demonstrate for everyone.”
To verify his guess, Dong Yichun said to Shen Yi.
“Punch this.”
He pointed at something similar to a force-measuring device and told him to try it.
“Let's see if he can still be so arrogant.”
Jiang Yongyang's eyes were filled with disdain when he heard what the teacher said. Everyone was learning the Forging Body Technique for the first time, and many students hadn't even gotten started.
The girl who spoke earlier also looked on, clearly enjoying the show.
Shen Yi didn't know what this thing was for, but since the teacher told him to, he still did it.
He punched it with a “bang.”
“Basic Forging Body Technique: Proficient.”
“Physical Enhancement: Thirty percent.”
Immediately following, two lines of text appeared on the instrument.
“It really is like this.”
Dong Yichun muttered to himself.
“Have you learned the basic Forging Body Technique before?”
Shen Yi shook his head, “No, I just had my second awakening this morning.”
It was then that Dong Yichun remembered that he had seen Shen Yi undergoing his second awakening that morning.
Jiang Yongyang, who had been disdainful earlier, now had a look of disbelief. He understood how difficult it was to cultivate this Forging Body Technique.
How could someone reach proficiency just by learning it?
“Teacher, he cheated!”
Jiang Yongyang, as if his brain had short-circuited, shouted loudly.
Dong Yichun frowned upon hearing this, looking displeased.
“Then you cheat and show me?”
Jiang Yongyang was immediately speechless, awkwardly wanting to find a hole to crawl into.
“How did you do it?”
Dong Yichun ignored him and instead asked Shen Yi.
“Isn't this something anyone with hands can do?”
Shen Yi said without even blinking an eye.
Students: “...”
So, we're all disabled.
“Alright, go back and continue cultivating.”
After speaking, Dong Yichun turned and walked out of the classroom, looking preoccupied.
“Old Qian!”
After Dong Yichun walked out of the classroom, he went directly to Qian Huafeng's office.
“Aren't you teaching a class? Why do you have time to come here?”
Qian Huafeng said with a chuckle, looking at the person who pushed open the door and entered.
“Shen Yi from your Living Department, have you checked him? Are you sure there's no problem?”
Dong Yichun didn't respond to his greeting but directly asked.
“I've checked him. He has no problems. Although he has a Dual Ability, unless he can evade my detection.”
Qian Huafeng's expression became serious upon hearing his words. “What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did you find any problems?”
“He just started learning the Forging Body Technique, and he immediately reached proficiency, as if he had learned it before.”
Dong Yichun said in a deep voice.
After hearing his words, Qian Huafeng rubbed his temples, “It shouldn't be. Maybe he's just naturally gifted?”
Hearing his words, Dong Yichun gave a bitter smile.
“I hope there's nothing wrong. We've tried our best to keep all the Dual Ability users under your watch.”
“You old man, what are you worried about? The other four are definitely fine; they're all exceptionally talented. This Shen Yi just arrived, and I think he should be fine too. I'll check again.”
“That's all we can do.” Dong Yichun finished speaking, no longer mentioning it. The two chatted briefly before he left.
It was noon in a flash. Shen Yi walked out from the Combat Department, wanting to go back to his dormitory to check.
The Living Department group chat had been particularly quiet these past two days; no one was talking.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the Living Department, his phone rang.
“Shen Yi, come to the Ability Bureau.”
It was Qiao Yi calling.
“Did something happen?” Shen Yi asked curiously.
“I can't explain it over the phone. Come over, and I'll tell you. It's something related to you.”
