Chapter 649: Chapter 266: Comprehending Two Fire Attribute Skills_3
"With the addition of my telekinesis, I can run rapidly in the void, not slower than Tu Long’s flying speed."
"No, even faster than after he merges with his Patterned Spirit Giant Eagle!"
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. He felt that anyone who saw him now would mistake him for a Fire Attribute Superpower User.
"I wonder if Ding Yan could learn this rune."
So far, Liang Yuan had only seen one person who could integrate skill runes into their own superpower system like he could.
That person was Wu Meng, who relied on his "Flesh and Blood Growth" superpower, forcibly using Qi and Blood to activate the Bursting Rune, thus creating and executing Blast Fist.
However, in essence, his superpower was still [Flesh and Blood Growth], and he hadn’t truly mastered the Fire Attribute Blast Fist.
It shows that not everyone who learns a rune can master similar skills.
For instance, Old Yang and Li Yuejin, who had mastered the skills of imprinting runes and creating talisman stones, but hadn’t truly learned those skills themselves.
Liang Yuan had also asked them both; they could only imitate and engrave runes but didn’t have the corresponding attributive superpower, so they didn’t meet the condition to use them.
It was then that Liang Yuan realized that not everyone could arbitrarily convert superpower energy within themselves according to the Five Elements principle of the human body.
It was his unique evolutionary superpower that enabled his five viscera to evolve and gain the ability to change superpower attributes.
And not the skill rune that granted such an ability to the learner.
In other words, Wu Meng didn’t fail to practice the true Blast Fist because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t.
Since he could only control flesh and blood, using his superpower to mimic the rune to achieve a similar effect.
Runes only provided a way to release energy, unable to change the essence of the energy.
For instance, a Water Attribute Superpower User with enough spiritual power might learn the Fire Dragon Dance rune.
However, upon forming the rune, it would most likely become Water Dragon Dance instead of Fire Dragon Dance.
Runes are like molds, and whether the energy injected is water or fire, it doesn’t affect the rune’s release.
Liang Yuan pondered whether the rune’s effect would be affected by the type of energy injected.
Liang Yuan believed it certainly would.
For example, the [Red Pig Wheel] he learned might have utilized the explosive force generated by flames to achieve rapid movement.
But if it were formed using Water Attribute energy, it would be hard to replicate the effect of a Fire Attribute superpower.
And might not even work at all.
Otherwise, the rune wouldn’t require superpower energy to circulate within the body and be converted by the heart into Fire Attribute energy to form the skill.
"So, the special part isn’t the rune, but my evolutionary superpower."
Liang Yuan understood internally and felt a strong anticipation for the system’s adaptive gene map [Hundred-Change Demon Ape Gene Map].
"But what exactly is this gene seed?"
"The system indicates gene seeds only appear in the million points reward pool, showing their extraordinary value."
"Besides the lottery, where can I find gene seeds?"
Liang Yuan frowned, thinking about these gene seeds, which gave him a headache.
So far, he hasn’t discovered any news about gene seeds in reality.
"Maybe the military base has gene seed research? Should I go to Guangfu Military Base?"
Liang Yuan pondered, with a vague idea forming in his mind.
However, there were still many matters to attend to at Yangshan, so he couldn’t leave immediately.
"Once Yangshan’s matters are settled and everything is stable, I’ll go out to search for news about gene seeds."
Liang Yuan returned to the shelter and lay down beside Yang Mei to rest.
The next morning, as the shelter’s residents woke up, they began their busy day.
Everyone’s eyes were bright; they had goals to strive for.
That goal was to capture mutated creatures and find ways to earn points!
And some who caught fish yesterday afternoon sold them to the slaughterhouse, earning a few points and came to the food area early to have breakfast.
The whole Yangshan Shelter was bustling with the breath of life.
Liang Yuan got up, had breakfast at home, and then went to the slaughterhouse, processed a batch of mutated creatures, earning over two thousand points, and then found Ding Yan and Zhao Kai.
Today, neither of them was on duty, so Liang Yuan took them towards the mining area.
"How’s the expanded patrol team going?"
Ding Yan said, "It’s all done. The superpower users from the original three shelters are all part of the patrol team now. We have three teams rotating daily, patrolling Phoenix Temple, Meihai Garden, and the mining area. The main patrol team of the shelter will send some members to patrol the Martial King Pavilion, ensuring a daily patrol around the mountain."
Liang Yuan nodded, "No trouble from anyone?"
Zhao Kai laughed, "Brother Liang, you’re overestimating them. With you here, who’s daring to cause trouble? They’re all very well-behaved, I can’t even find a couple of troublemakers to set an example."
Liang Yuan smiled, "You two should also focus on improving your strengths. If I’m not at Yangshan someday, you’ll need to keep these people in line."
Ding Yan’s expression changed slightly, picking up on something, and she couldn’t help but look at Liang Yuan, "Are you leaving Yangshan?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "Not in the short term. I can’t stay at Yangshan forever. I’ll be out doing various things. Yangshan will rely on you all to maintain."
Ding Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Don’t worry, we’ll strive to enhance our superpowers."
Zhao Kai also solemnly said, "Brother Liang, I’ll work hard too."
Liang Yuan smiled, "You two are the ones I trust the most, especially you, Zhao Kai. Your superpower is unique in our shelter, with great potential. Keep up the effort."
Zhao Kai quickly nodded, feeling a bit guilty. Lately, he had been preoccupied with helping Feifei and her father with their store, neglecting his research and improvement in his superpower.
Ding Yan glanced at Zhao Kai, "I heard Feifei and her father are opening a store in the shelter?"
Zhao Kai nodded, "They’re planning to do cold chain storage, using my ability to create an icehouse to help everyone store goods, charging a fee."
Ding Yan paused, then smiled, "That’s a good idea. Back in the building, you were responsible for creating icehouses for Dr. Yang and Dong Yan, earning a lot of supplies. This is like going back to your old trade."
Zhao Kai chuckled, scratching his head.
Liang Yuan shook his head and sighed, "This business might take a loss in the near future."
"Huh? What? Brother Liang, what do you mean?" Zhao Kai asked anxiously.
Liang Yuan said, "The cold wave is coming."
