Gongsun Ce took a few minutes to call his parents and told his parents that he had not participated in any superpower fights recently, that everything in the sky was stable, that his friends were doing well, and that everything was fine. He didn't quite believe the part when Gongsun's dad said frankly that there was no fight. Gongsun Ce said it was true, dad. How could I lie to you? Gongsun's mom said that it's time for you to fall in love as you are almost 20, Gongsun. Ce said it's early. It's early. Mom, don't worry...
After some conversation, he picked up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes children talk to their parents not to discuss important matters, but because hearing the other person's voice makes them feel reassured.
Gongsun Ce walked back to the villa and sat at the dining table. He clenched his fists and said deeply: "I feel like I have become stronger."
Yan Qi held a small wine glass, glanced sideways, and laughed, his disdain evident in his words. Shigurei took out a plate of fried rice and said cooperatively: "Specifically?"
The superpower lowered his head and took two big mouthfuls of rice: "My thinking speed is faster, my body feels stronger than before, and my reactions seem to be more agile."
He took off his glasses and glared at the young man in a suit who was close to Chi Chi: "Your eyesight seems to be... getting better?"
Shigure Reiichi's professional knowledge told him that the blessing brought by lighting up the spiritual light did not improve his eyesight. He suppressed a smile and agreed seriously: "Awesome, Gongsun."
Gongsun Ce smacked his lips and said dubiously: "The appetite has also become smaller? I'm not very hungry."
He slept from 12 o'clock last night to noon the next day. When he got up, he should be crazy with hunger, but now his stomach stubbornly said that if he could work harder for a while, he might be able to endure it until dinner.
Gongsun Ce thought this was the strangest thing. Almost all people with superpowers are big eaters, and they get hungry quickly the more they eat. Because using superpowers often consumes a lot of energy and physical strength, and the most convenient and quickest way to replenish energy is to eat. This is why there are strange high-calorie food stores everywhere in the Sky City, which can be said to be a necessity for those with energy-releasing abilities - they consume the most energy and eat the most.
Ignoring Qiluo's special situation, take a group of four as an example: Caldesia, who sets fire every now and then, is undoubtedly the one with the best appetite, Qin Qianbai, who is both a martial artist and a superpower, condescends to second place, and Gongsun Ce stands regretfully On the small steps of the third place, Reiichi Shigure's food intake was basically the same as that of ordinary people.
This is probably the only place where a girl can maintain a good figure by eating all kinds of food every day.
Gongsun Ce put on his glasses, thought for a moment, and asked: "Did the aura provide new energy? Is it related to your lack of food, Mr. Shiyu, because you are an Impermanence Master?"
Shigurei nodded and explained: "The general understanding is correct. Aura is the power hidden in our hearts. It is the foundation for promoting the law of impermanence, and it can also be replenished by us as superpower energy."
It seems that he has an extra energy source when he lights up the aura, just like his heart has been given a permanent enhancement buff. Gongsun Ce came up with such a popular explanation, and then thought that superpowers-or the power of dragons-come from the human heart, and the impermanent method is also the power of the heart.
Now he knows that the aura of impermanence can be used as an energy supplement for superpowers. So, if there is a connection between the illusory mind and the real heart...
Gongsun Ce looked at the man in black and said, "Superpowers and impermanent laws..."
Yan Qi stared.
"You can't remember after talking so much? Ask less, think less, and ponder less!"
Gongsun Ce didn't get angry either. He just said meekly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Goosebumps appeared on Yan Qi's arms. He shook his hands vigorously and shouted: "Give him a mental examination! There must be something wrong with his brain!"
Gongsun Ce was so angry that he slapped the table: "My good temper is no longer good, right?! You have to have me yell at you every day to feel comfortable?!"
The middle-aged painter took a sip of wine and said reassuringly: "There is still hope, it's not a permanent schizophrenia."
"Go to hell."
Shigure Rei almost laughed out loud. He realized that the two of them would be in trouble if this continued, so he quickly spoke to calm the atmosphere.
"Gongsun, you seem to be more candid than before."
"Is there any? I feel like I haven't..." Gongsun Ce asked subconsciously, then bowed his head and remained silent.
He ate a large plate of fried rice in silence, and in the process carefully sorted out what he had seen and heard in his dream, from the desert to the residence in the Sky City, from the tunnel to the old apartment building, and finally to the process of determining the state of mind. Gongsun Ce thought of his strange state before waking up, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The gray-haired young man said fearfully: "Oh my god, I went crazy after I settled down on the phase of silence. I almost walked directly into the path of silence without any preparation."
Yan Qi stared at him carefully, with doubts still in his eyes: "This is the most terrible thing, Gongsun boy. Your talent determines that something will happen to you at the end of your first dream. How did you wake up on your own?"
The superpower was extremely embarrassed, thinking that he couldn't just say that he woke up just because he remembered being hugged by a girl some time ago. He rubbed his face and said eloquently: "It's about personal affairs, let's not mention it for now!"
Yan Qi crossed his legs, said "Oh~" angrily, and really stopped asking.
Gongsun Ce remembered another strange incident, a deserted road covered with carpets. Deep down in his heart, he could still laugh it off, but in reality, the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became.
Because that blue carpet rolled out from the road...it appeared actively from the depths of the path of Huang Xiangfa!
Gongsun Ce told the two people about the incident in great detail, including his own reaction at the time. He asked nervously: "Is this why you don't let me come into contact with the desolate phase? Is there something deep in the desolate phase...?"
"Shut up, Gongsun boy." Yan Qi narrowed his eyes, "No thinking, no guessing. Don't tell me you can't do it. Use your usual tricks to fool yourself!"
Gongsun Ce took off his glasses and pressed his forehead depressedly.
Is there really something deep in the Desolate Appearance Law?
Gongsun Ce didn't dare to think about it any more. He did as he was told, putting heavy shackles on all thoughts related to the desolate phase method. This sounds ridiculous, but to him it is extremely simple, much more convenient than putting a cover on a wordless book.
Gongsun Ce has always been an expert in self-deception.
He put on his glasses, sighed and asked, "When can I get some relevant information?"
"None of my business."
The bespectacled young man looked at his loyal friend Zero Island, and Shigure Reiichi said hesitantly: "At least wait until you enter the realm of trance, preferably after you practice to the realm of manifestation."
Tongshen is considered a backbone in the official organization. Who knows when he will be able to cultivate it! Gongsun Ce said without hope: "What about further background knowledge? I have taken a look at the basic world view and let me know about the head office."
"The whole class was in vain, huh?" Yan Qi said sarcastically, "What kind of pig brain are you talking about? Have you forgotten everything I told you last week?"
The superpower was furious: "Can the story about Emperor Lingyang slaying the dragon be used as background knowledge?!"
Yan Qi told him a story about the origin of the law of impermanence. The process was extremely short, and it was just right for a five-minute bedtime story for preschoolers.
"Why are you so anxious? I will give you a whole extracurricular lesson later and let famous overseas teachers do some popular science for you." The painter in black said in a strange voice, "Now let me tell you about your change in mood."
Can there be a foreign teacher in this class? Are you a cheap teacher planning to take advantage of this?
He put aside his curiosity, recalled the experience in the dream, and thought about what his friend had said before.
Change of mood...?
"I may have been a little more honest."
Gongsun Ce continued what Shigure Reiichi said: "I'm not going to tell you what I saw in my dream. Someone helped me interpret the dream. What I can say is the conclusion I came to."
He took a deep breath and said without hesitation.
"I am a self-loathing person who cannot feel the meaning of existence."
No longer deliberately covering up, nor like the past, using layers of masks to deceive oneself. This is the first time in his life that Gongsun Ce has revealed his true nature in the real world.
He suddenly felt a lightness in his heart, not the sense of separation as if he had lost something he cherished, but the lightness of letting go of something heavy.
"I think this is my nature...I may be a terrible person who will want to commit suicide when I have no worries." He concluded, "But I still have some worries, so I have to find a way to live my life. Just This is gone."
Gongsun Ce raised his head and looked at the two of them. This time Yan Qi rarely laughed out loud and just nodded. Shigurei looked at him with concern and said, "Do you want me to lend you my shoulder?"
"It's so homo, I don't want it!"
Gongsun Ce responded reflexively, and the two of them laughed together.
Gongsun Ce secretly marveled that he didn't start to show off, but smiled sincerely. He was really much more relaxed than before.
He scratched his head and asked, "So what should I do next to cultivate my spiritual illumination realm?"
The man in black poured himself another glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile: "What else are you doing to practice spiritual illumination? I am cultivating clarity!"
"…………………………ah?"
Gongsun Ce screamed strangely: "Am I going to reach the peak of perfection and perfection?"
"You have illuminated your true nature and witnessed your true heart. What else can you use to illuminate your aura?" Yan Qi asked, "Can you use it as a flashlight?"
The gray-haired young man began to think. The Knight of Dawn told him that aura and nature are one in appearance and inside, and they are both the source of the power of impermanence. Gongsun Ce found aura and true nature in this dream, and chose the most suitable state of mind for him. If the practice of impermanence is a journey deep into the heart, then the next step he should take is...
"I'm supposed to figure out the cause of this nature?"
"You're not stupid, this is called clarifying one's nature." Yan Qi grabbed the brush and drew something in the air, "Know the nature, and then understand yourself. Only by laying this foundation can you build a tall building."
Yan Qi drew a vivid object with just a few strokes. This thing is in the shape of a long strip, with a thin tube at the front and a wide bracket at the back. It is dark with a metallic luster and has a mirror in the middle. It looks like...
"Tell me why you drew a sniper rifle."
Yan Qi chuckled and handed the ink sniper rifle to Shigure Reiichi: "Try it at the farthest distance!"
The young man in a suit looked back with a look that was not very guilty, found a pair of sniper headphones from somewhere, and went out with the gun.
Gongsun Ce was pushed out of the door by Yan Qi and said in horror: "What do you want to do?!"
The middle-aged painter touched his chin and said: "Don't make any preparations, just stand and wait for me without deliberately protecting yourself!"
This is no joke. Gongsun Ce's superpower is to be able to deal with the army's conventional firepower, but there is a prerequisite: he has entered a state of high vigilance before battle.
Psychokinesis is not automatically activated. It requires the superpower user to react and have the thought to mobilize before it can be used. In a fighting state, he would naturally always have a protective force on his side, but under normal circumstances, who would maintain a highly concentrated state at all times? Even the superpowers in this city usually don't think about guarding against over-the-horizon attacks from thousands of meters away.
Just stay in a state of being surrounded by heavy machine guns.
Therefore, people with super powers are very nervous at this time, and no one wants to be shot for no reason. He walked to the courtyard and said with a very bitter look on his face: "I feel like my reaction speed is faster, but it's not as fast as this...!"
Before he could finish his words, he already felt a terrible feeling in his heart.
The air was pierced by something flying rapidly, and the bullet struck with enough kinetic energy to shatter a human body. Before the sound of the gunshot could reach his ears, the warhead was about to touch his abdomen.
Shigurei didn't look for the "farthest distance" at all. He directly found the nearby commanding heights and launched a sniper attack at a moment when Gongsun Ce didn't expect it!
The gray-haired young man was struck by a sudden shock, and in an instant he had no more thoughts. His eyes couldn't see the bullet, his body couldn't move, and his nerve reaction speed couldn't keep up with the development of the situation. However, there was another feeling that appeared the moment before the injury, which was a touch from the depths of the soul.
He followed this extremely sensitive feeling and mobilized his superpower in a short period of time that even he didn't know.
"——!"
Then the belated gunfire caused a sharp roar in the air, and a large white mist-like sonic boom instantly appeared in front of Gongsun Ce. The warhead flying at supersonic speed stopped at the moment before the mission was completed. Under the control of telekinesis, it revealed its original shape and turned into an ordinary drop of ink.
Cold sweat broke out on Gongsun Ce's forehead. He waited for a while before turning back and saying, "...it seems to be fast enough."
He saw that Yan Qi was also holding a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun glowed just as he felt relieved. This bastard actually used live ammunition, and the bullet was shot right between his eyebrows!
This time, the superpower simply crushed the bullet out of thin air, and he shouted angrily: "Is it over yet?!"
Yan Qi lowered his gun and said with rare praise: "It's not bad."
·
An hour later, the three returned to the room again. They then conducted a series of tests and concluded as follows.
Gongsun Ce's ability range and maximum output have basically remained unchanged, but his superpower's reaction speed and control accuracy have improved considerably compared to the past. Now he also has the ability to protect himself from beyond visual range attacks under normal conditions, and he can also do more sophisticated tricks.
On the other hand, the maximum output of white matter increased, but the speed of mobilization remained basically unchanged.
"I think I can now close my eyes and manipulate a dozen threads to pass through the eye of a needle at the same time, maybe more." Gongsun Ce asked seriously, "Is the impermanence method of Lingzhao Realm so powerful?"
Reiichi Shigure thought about what would happen after telling the truth, and thought that his friends would probably be over-inflated by this. He sincerely lamented that being this guy's teacher or senior was not an easy thing to do, and he wanted to cajole him... Unfortunately, he couldn't joke around in serious matters.
"Lingzhao Realm is the entry-level state of the impermanent method. What the spiritual light can do is to make the practitioner energetic, full of physical strength, enhanced intuition, and improved reaction speed. In addition, at most, it can be provided based on the different mental states of the major. A trivial effect...for example, a psychic can improve the persuasiveness of his words."
"No, what about that rune I used before?"
Shigure Reiichi and Yan Qi exchanged a look and replied: "Generally speaking, basic runes are abilities that can only be used after reaching the realm of clarity."
And he can use the rune effect before the spiritual light.
Gongsun Ce took off his glasses, wiped his hair, and said with great sadness.
"I hate to admit it, but it seems that I am indeed a peerless genius in the practice of impermanence."
You are indeed a genius who can make people angry, Reiichi Shigure said silently in his heart.
