130: Chapter 130 Humanity's First Awakening of Abilities

Chen Mo did not say much.

The Inner World Force Field expanded instantly, wrapping around Minister Li Long, and their figures disappeared from the office.

A white-yellow light flashed out of the window.

The next moment, they landed on the edge of the Han City Extraordinary Headquarters training ground.

Chen Mo did not go forward immediately.

He stood outside the training ground, observing Cheng Jian from a distance of several dozen meters.

Cheng Jian was performing a strength test.

His feet remained planted in place, yet the tremors from the ground were precisely transmitted to a row of targets dozens of meters away.

The foundation beneath the targets began to loosen amidst the low-frequency vibrations; the target racks swayed, the readings fluctuated, and the entire process was devoid of any superfluous movement.

Chen Mo's perception spread out, carefully analyzing the power within Cheng Jian.

This was not simply "vibrating the ground."

The essence of Earth Control was the manipulation of the earth's gravity.

The reason Cheng Jian could flip the ground now was because he instinctively changed the direction and intensity of gravity in the local area beneath his feet.

Gravity was distorted, and the surface structure lost its original stress balance, which was why it rippled like a liquid.

Flipping and vibrating were both derivative applications of this core mechanism.

As Cheng Jian continued to grow stronger, the upper limit of this power would be extremely high.

Gravity.

It was one of the fundamental forces that permeated the entire Universe.

If Cheng Jian could eventually extend Earth Control beyond the ground and truly touch the essence of gravity, then his potential would be unimaginable.

But the difficulties in this process would be just as great.

A glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

"Minister Li Long."

"Yes."

"We have a candidate for the second-tier competition in the Regional Genius Tournament."

Minister Li Long nodded. He did not ask any further questions.

Chen Mo continued, "The first-tier has no energy; it is a competition of combat techniques and the Awakening rate of special abilities."

"There is not enough time for the third-tier. With less than ten years left until the Regional Genius Tournament, even if someone barely manages a Breakthrough, their combat power would be too weak, leaving no chance at all."

"The Federation's goal is to fully ensure competitiveness in the first and second tiers."

Minister Li Long understood immediately.

Chen Mo turned to Minister Li Long.

"List Cheng Jian as the highest priority. All resources and technology should be prioritized for him."

"Yes, Speaker."

The two walked toward Cheng Jian.

Upon seeing them approach, Cheng Jian immediately stopped the test and stood up straight.

"Speaker. Minister."

His stance was steadier than before.

The earth beneath his feet gave him a solid sense of support, making his entire body structure become more grounded.

He looked at Chen Mo, a trace of imperceptible anticipation in his voice.

"Speaker, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Chen Mo looked at him.

Cheng Jian might not know what one in a billion meant, but he knew he had not wasted those ten spirit sources.

"No."

Chen Mo's voice was calm.

"You did very well. Keep it up."

Cheng Jian nodded heavily.

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then continued.

"You are now in the second-tier Rhythm Realm."

"After the Awakening of your ability, the most important thing is not to improve the ability in isolation, but to have the ability and your body completely integrate."

"Manipulate the earth's rebound force to increase speed and enhance strength."

"You can even try to fuse the ability with your body to form stone armor."

"These all directly determine your combat potential."

He paused for a second, his gaze landing on Cheng Jian.

"For the second-tier Regional Genius Tournament, you are already quite competitive after the Awakening of your ability."

"In the coming period, do your best to improve and break through the combat power range of the second tier."

"Secure a ranking."

Cheng Jian's expression became extremely solemn.

He clenched his fists.

"Yes, Speaker. I will definitely accomplish it."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Mm. If you have any questions, leave me a message."

Then he turned around.

The Inner World Force Field fluctuated imperceptibly, and his figure had already disappeared from the edge of the training ground.

After seeing Cheng Jian, Chen Mo continued his own Cultivation.

Time flowed slowly amidst the cicadas of the dog days of summer.

The white-yellow color of the Hengyuan Force deepened with every tempering.

His combat power also continued to climb upward, without a moment's pause.

Every time the Hengyuan Force tempered him, his combat power increased by a tiny bit.

Outside of Cultivation, Chen Mo would occasionally go to see his uncle and aunt.

Chen Mo had arranged a way for his uncle and aunt to improve, a gentle training program.

Coupled with the basic spirit sources he had collected for assistance, they only needed to persist step by step.

As long as there was enough time, reaching the third-tier was a completely expected outcome.

The third-tier was already the most top-tier existence on the current Blue Star.

But in Chen Mo's eyes, the significance of this Realm for his uncle was not combat power, but longevity and health.

A third-tier body was sufficient to resist all known diseases, and the cell regeneration ability allowed the aging process to slow down significantly, extending life expectancy beyond 1,000 years.

His aunt was cooking noodles in the kitchen.

The noodles rolled in the pot, and white steam drifted out of the window, mixing into the cicadas of summer.

And his cousin, Chen Ting.

Chen Mo had never seen Chen Ting look so diligent.

The cause was him casually saying, "Cultivate to the Rhythm Realm and you can maintain your youthful appearance."

Then Chen Ting's training volume tripled immediately.

Every day before dawn, she appeared at the training ground, and she was still training late into the night.

The speed of her progress was so fast that even the training instructors at the Extraordinary Headquarters were somewhat surprised.

And when Chen Mo heard that his cousin was going to participate in the Blue Star Federation's first Evolver Fighting Tournament, he was stunned for two seconds.

He really had not thought that his cousin would participate in this kind of fighting tournament.

It wasn't that he didn't support her; he just had never imagined Chen Ting with the label of "fighter."

An image appeared in his mind.

Chen Ting stood on the fighting ring, wearing a competition uniform, facing an opponent who had also been screened.

The two probed each other, and then Chen Ting threw a punch.

He reined in this thought.

Chen Mo did not stop her, but instead fully supported her.

Having motivation is a good thing, whether it's wanting to maintain a youthful appearance or wanting to prove oneself.

As long as it is a motivation that can keep her going, it is a good motivation.

Besides this, Chen Mo's communication with Cang also became more and more frequent.

Cang had built an encrypted communication circle in the virtual space and pulled everyone in the top ten of the combat power rankings into it.

Cang of the Tianzhi Race, Manqi of the Tyrant Elephant Race, He Hengyu of the Yaojing Race, Yingshi of the Anmi Race, Qingzhu of the Jianmu Race, the Bee Queen of the Bee Imperial Race, Shi of the Yanyue Race, Tiegu of the Kaite Race, and Chaoyin of the Minghai Race.

And Chen Mo.
