142: Section 142

At that moment, an arrow struck the Snake Dog behind Mark.

Ran Bing looked at Star Shatterer with a face full of gratitude.

As a Psychic Master, Jing Yuan was naturally skilled at dealing with group attacks.

He used his Mental Power to control the scale disk, making it fly from the car to his side, and then quickly formed six Flying Cones.

As the Flying Cones passed through, a large hole was immediately pierced through the Snake Dog's body.

A simple siege by Snake Dogs didn't seem to affect Jing Yuan; instead, a large number of them were slain by him.

The Twin-Jawed Beast seemed to sense the situation and let out a sudden, violent roar, the intense sound waves even carrying a physical impact.

"Everyone be careful! The Twin-Jawed Beast's sound waves carry a mental shock!" Bai Yuekui's voice appeared in the earpiece.

However, the impact of the sound waves still affected everyone, making their movements instantly sluggish.

Mark resisted the sound wave shock, watching as a Snake Dog charged forward.

The four girls providing cover around them didn't react in time.

Mark was knocked flying by a headbutt, and then the Snake Dog pinned him down, preparing to tear into him.

Swoosh!

A dark shadow flashed by as Jing Yuan's Flying Cone instantly pierced through the Snake Dog.

However, at that moment, the Twin-Jawed Beast seized the opportunity and swatted Jing Yuan away with its palm.

"Jing Yuan!" Penny shouted and rushed over. Using her locator, she teleported to the position closest to Jing Yuan, wanting to pick him up.

But the position close to Jing Yuan was also close to the Twin-Jawed Beast.

The Twin-Jawed Beast sensed Penny's presence. With its massive size, it only needed a single swing of its hand to send Penny flying.

"Penny!"

Lying on the ground, Jing Yuan could only watch helplessly as Penny was knocked away, and his heart instantly blazed with fury.

He picked up his war blade, the aura within his body surging.

He directly performed the first form of the Nine Rivers Blade Technique.

Rushing Flow!

The war blade, carrying majestic energy, slashed toward the Twin-Jawed Beast, but the beast blocked it with its arm.

Although the war blade wounded the Twin-Jawed Beast's arm, it only broke the skin.

On Penny's side, Tasia traversed through space to appear before her and took her away from the scene.

Seeing Penny injured, Boss Bai also realized she couldn't hold back any longer.

She spoke through the communicator, "Everyone, come out!"

Suddenly, from behind them, six Awakened Practitioners rushed out, including Great Mountain, Xu Tong, Taciturn, and others.

Seeing Penny leave, Jing Yuan began to focus entirely on dealing with the Twin-Jawed Beast.

He was already prepared to perform the Nine Rivers Blade Technique again, this time the second form!

Breaking Waves!

This move focused on breaking through the opponent's defense.

This Twin-Jawed Beast was very intelligent. It seemed to know Jing Yuan was powerful, so it would specifically use its arms to block whenever Jing Yuan launched an attack.

And the back of its arms was extremely tough.

Jing Yuan executed the blade technique, his blade striking toward the Twin-Jawed Beast like a giant wave.

The speed was so fast and the force so fierce that even Boss Bai felt surprised.

With one strike, Jing Yuan severed one of the Twin-Jawed Beast's arms.

Following that, he prepared to perform the third form.

The third form was named Backflow, a technique for a sudden turning counterattack.

However, Jing Yuan didn't seem to have practiced it well yet. The turning strike only managed to break the Twin-Jawed Beast's skin.

When he looked back again, he saw Great Mountain, Xu Tong, and the others rushing up.

"You guys deal with the Snake Dogs, let Jing Yuan handle the Twin-Jawed Beast!" Boss Bai's voice was transmitted to the Awakened Practitioners of Dragon Bone Village through a special channel.

"Boss Bai, are we really not going to help Jing Yuan?" Taciturn asked. "That's a Twin-Jawed Beast!"

Great Mountain said indifferently, "Boss Bai must have her reasons for doing this!"

The six of them charged into the swarm of Phage Beasts, instantly drawing the attention of all the Snake Dogs.

Without the interference of the Snake Dogs, Jing Yuan indeed felt much more at ease.

Facing the Twin-Jawed Beast, Jing Yuan performed his blade technique and attacked with all his might.

At the same time, he was using his Mental Power to locate the spirit seed.

"Found it! It's here!"

He slashed his blade at the junction between the Twin-Jawed Beast's "middle leg" and its body.

This strike actually shattered the spirit seed directly!

The massive Twin-Jawed Beast perished right then and there.

Xu Tong looked at Jing Yuan in surprise, saying in disbelief, "He actually killed a Twin-Jawed Beast!"

Taciturn was also dumbfounded. "How does it feel like he's gotten stronger again!"

Jing Yuan's war blade was plunged into the Twin-Jawed Beast's spirit seed, and he frantically absorbed the life source essence of these Phage Beasts.

When the people from Dragon Bone Village killed Phage Beasts, they would destroy the spirit seeds, so any Phage Beast dying within this range would have its life source essence absorbed by Jing Yuan.

Boss Bai could clearly feel Jing Yuan's aura changing, but she didn't know the reason.

There were still many Snake Dogs that hadn't been killed yet, but with Great Mountain, Xu Tong, and the others there, Jing Yuan didn't need to step in.

Jing Yuan hurried to Penny's side to check her condition.

Fortunately, Penny was now an Ability User, and her physical fitness had improved.

The Twin-Jawed Beast's attack wasn't fatal to her.

Jing Yuan stood up and looked at Boss Bai. "Boss Bai, if we encounter this situation again, you should let them come out sooner!"

Boss Bai said, "There won't be a next time! In such a dangerous situation today, none of you generated Willpower. These methods aren't suitable for you; we can only use the final resort."

Jing Yuan looked confused. "There's still a final resort?"

Boss Bai looked at everyone. "Let's go back to the village first!"

Chapter 146: Equipment to Stimulate Potential

After returning to the village to rest and regroup, Boss Bai took Jing Yuan and Mark away from the village inside the mountain and came to the Potential Stimulation Hall located on the mountain.

In the center of the Potential Stimulation Hall, there was a massive piece of equipment.

Jing Yuan looked at the equipment and asked, "This machine can stimulate potential?"

Boss Bai said, "After all, those who can spontaneously stimulate their potential are only a tiny minority. Most people still need the help of equipment to awaken their potential."

"Then why didn't you bring it out earlier?"

Boss Bai said, "The village has its rules. To use this equipment, it must be under the circumstances that both meditation and actual combat have failed, only then can the Phenomenon Equipment be used for stimulation."

Xia Tianlai explained to everyone, "In the old world, Ability Users had already been born. Back then, there was no equipment to assist; they relied entirely on powerful Willpower for spontaneous stimulation.

The Ability Users who could spontaneously stimulate back then were also exceptionally powerful.

Later, scholars of the Heluo Civilization in the old world, through research on humans and utilizing the intervention of this Phenomenon Equipment, were also able to successfully awaken those sealed genes.

However, we believe that spontaneous stimulation is still better than equipment stimulation.

That's why the village has such rules. We first try to let you stimulate spontaneously as much as possible, and only if that really doesn't work do we use the equipment."

After Xia Tianlai finished explaining, Boss Bai looked at Jing Yuan and Mark. "Who wants to go first?"

"I'll start!"

Jing Yuan was the first to step forward.

Xia Tianlai walked up to Jing Yuan. "I've talked with Boss Bai about your situation. Your Mental Power should have been formed by Willpower triggering gene expression. You belong to the few who spontaneously stimulated their potential. Are you sure you want to try again?"

"I'm sure."

"Alright!" Xia Tianlai began to calibrate the equipment.

"If I've already stimulated my potential, what will happen if I stimulate it again?"

Xia Tianlai smiled and said, "Nothing will happen. The principle of potential stimulation is the activation of non-coding genes. Once you've stimulated them, they won't be stimulated again."

Jing Yuan walked over to the Phenomenon Equipment. "So it doesn't matter if I try, right?"

Xia Tianlai looked at Boss Bai, and she nodded.

She also wanted to know if Jing Yuan counted as an Awakened Practitioner.
