“Transform!”
“Transform!”
“Transform!”
Ma Li shouted several times in a row, but there was no response at all!
He spoke with a sobbing voice: “Is it that I can’t awaken my supernatural power?”
“You can’t?”
Du Gang and Chu Zixuan looked at each other. Both of them were a bit puzzled.
Chu Zixuan had clearly awakened his supernatural power with one crystal, so what was wrong with Ma Li?
“How about I give it a try first?”
At that moment, An Ya said: “Ma Li, take it easy. I’ll try to see if I can awaken my supernatural power!”
The crowd immediately shifted their gaze to An Ya.
Without much hesitation, An Ya swallowed the entirety of the crystal.
Unlike Ma Li who didn’t seem to be affected after consuming the crystal in any way, An Ya trembled as soon as she swallowed hers.
After a full 10 minutes, she slowly opened her eyes.
“Well?”
Ma Li looked at her anxiously, dying to know the result.
An Ya nodded, and with joy showing in the corners of her eyes, she said, “I’ve awakened my supernatural power!”
“What supernatural power did you awaken?”
Du Gang glanced at the disappointed Ma Li before turning to An Ya, and asked.
She answered with a grin: “Vision Manipulation. There is a very strange place in my mind where I can clearly manifest everything in my imagination. Similarly, I can put what is in my mind, directly into the minds of others, to affect the images they see…”
“After you awakened, you immediately knew how to use your supernatural power?” Chu Zixuan calmly asked.
“Yes, as soon as I awakened , I knew the effect of this supernatural power and how to use it… It’s as if it was a part of my body all along!”
Chu Zixuan nodded, turned to the crowd, and said, “When I awakened my supernatural power, I also felt the same way. I knew straight away what I had awakened and could use it skillfully!”
“So what does it mean for me? I didn’t feel anything.” Ma Li looked at him nervously.
After pondering for a while, Chu Zixuan threw out his guess: “I think that it might have something to do with each of our constitutions. I’m sure you guys have read fantasy novels, which often talks about a setting that is the issue of qualification…
“My guess is that people like Du Gang who awaken naturally are those who have superior qualifications. Meanwhile, Teacher An Ya and I awakened after swallowing a crystal and that means we have decent qualifications. In your case, you may not have good qualifications, so either you can never awaken, or you need more crystals to be able to awaken!”
After Ma Li listened to his analysis, he showed a lost and disappointed look.
Du Gang thought carefully for a while and agreed with Chu Zixuan, which was why he suggested: “How about this? I’ll find two more crystals and see if Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen can awaken their supernatural powers. Then, we’ll see how it goes!”
Soon after, the six of them continued their journey once again.
With Chu Zixuan’s ability to scan the area. it didn’t take much time for them to find two insects again.
This time, it was Chu Zixuan who took the initiative and volunteered to practice his skills. He used his psychokinesis to manipulate a knife and slice into the insects’ heads, before retrieving the crystals.
The insects didn’t even let out a screech and were instantly dead.
Chu Zixuan’s psychokinesis apparently made it much simpler to retrieve things than Du Gang using his bare hands.
The instant he sliced open the insects’ skulls, he retrieved the crystals using his spiritual power.
“Don’t you feel weak after using your power?”
Du Gang was a little puzzled. Back then when he saved Mu Chuxue, her whole body was limp and weak.
On the other hand, Chu Zixuan used his supernatural power several times and didn’t seem to be weakened at all.
“Nope!”
Chu Zixuan denied. He knew why Du Gang asked, so he guessed: “There are two possibilities: either Mu Chuxue’s and my qualifications are different, or the capacity of our abilities is different. I merely used psychokinesis to control the knife to slice open the insects’ head and take out the crystals. As for how Mu Chuxue’s supernatural power works, I have no idea. Who knows? Maybe she had a tough fight with the insect!”
“Forget it. Let’s see how it goes for the two of them!”
Soon after, Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen swallowed the crystals.
And their expressions also gradually changed from full of expectation to disappointment.
Like Ma Li, they also didn’t awaken their supernatural powers.
Du Gang mused and said, “In this case, what Chu Zixuan said makes a bit of sense. Either the three of you have no qualifications, or your qualifications are so poor that you need a lot more crystals to awaken!”
“When I held the crystal in my hand before, my body had a hidden longing, as if after I swallow it, my spiritual power will be enhanced. So I guess that this crystal can be used to awaken, as well as enhance spiritual powers.”
Chu Zixuan analyzed and continued: “As for how we should distribute the crystals, I think we have to decide now!”
At that moment, he had the impulse to go his own separate way and retrieve the crystals from the insects’ heads to become stronger.
But his rationality calmed him down.
At that moment, Du Gang didn’t deny his words and bluntly said: “Crystals can indeed be used to upgrade one, and for me, I will probably need another 20 to 30 crystals…”
He was also a little hesitant. At the beginning, he only had to collect the crystals for himself.
But now, if he were to keep all the crystals to himself, there would only be one ending.
The team would fall apart.
If the distribution wasn’t equal, it would cause some other problems.
After the issue was mentioned, everyone was torn apart.
Everyone made some selfish calculations, but no one dared to say a word.
“I have an idea!”
At that moment, Chu Zixuan broke the silence with a calm face.
At once, he attracted the attention of the crowd, and Du Gang hurriedly said: “Tell us about it!”
“There are six of us here, so if we look at it now, Du Gang has the highest talent and should achieve the best result after absorbing the crystals, followed by me, An Ya, and the three of you…”
“And now, the only people who can effectively kill the insects and obtain the crystals are Du Gang and me…”
“In conclusion, I suggest, for the time being, the distribution ratio of the crystals to be three to two to one.”
“Du Gang will take 30 percent. An Ya and I will take 20 percent, and the remaining three of you will take 10 percent each…”
Before the crowd sounded their opinion, he continued: “This ratio, however, can be adjusted. When the three of you also awaken your supernatural powers later, we will make a specific adjustment based on factors such as contribution!”
“I have no problem with that!”
An Ya was the first to stand out and agree.
“I don’t have an issue with it either!”
Immediately after, Ma Li spoke out. He didn’t wish for any disharmony in the team and wanted to share some burden for Du Gang.
The four of them looked at Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen, who both seemed to have other ideas. But when they saw that the majority agreed, they also nodded.
Seeing that they had no objections, Du Gang nodded: “All settled then; let’s follow this allocation. We’re going insect hunting on our way up north! Our destination is the nearest police station!”
“Let’s go!”
