As long as they had a hint of the news above, making their hearts apprehensive and fearful, they wouldnāt have done those things.
We have always been the most docile people in this world. As long as they havenāt been driven to a dead end, they probably wonāt resist.
Some, even when driven to a dead end, might just choose to end their own lives.
Liang Yuan said, "The rune technology disclosed by the military is also quite useful to ordinary people, equivalent to giving them a gun to deal with external mutated monsters."
"The only problem is that making rune stones requires deep spiritual power, which is a capability that ordinary people do not possess."
"In other words, ordinary people can use rune weapons but cannot produce rune weapons."
Liang Yuanās words made Yang Mei nod. She understood this as well.
"Hey, I donāt know if Iāve reached the requirement of 25 points of spiritual power."
"Are you able to project your spiritual power outward?" Liang Yuan asked.
Yang Mei shook her head, "No, I can control frost within just five or six meters."
Hearing this, Liang Yuan asked her to try and show him.
Yang Mei nodded and immediately pressed her hand on the wall.
Instantly, frost quickly formed on the wall, spreading rapidly.
As expected, she couldnāt go further after about five meters.
"Is my spiritual power around 5 points then?"
Liang Yuan nodded, "More or less. Itās already impressive. You just awakened and have 5 points of spirit attribute, which is quite remarkable."
"I remember when Zhao Kai first awakened, he only had a range of about 3 meters."
"Now his frost coverage should have reached about thirteen or fourteen meters. Thatās quite an increase."
"This should be related to his deepening mutation progress. If you frequently use this ability in the future, youāll naturally improve, too."
Yang Mei nodded and said, "Do you think my ability and his are the same?"
"Why do I always dream of that place sealed by ice and snow?"
Liang Yuan touched his chin and said, "From what Iāve seen, it seems like your abilities have a high degree of overlap, but we would need to study it more specifically."
"Try using your frost superpower on me."
"Huh? No way, wouldnāt that hurt you?"
Liang Yuan immediately laughed, "If you could hurt me, then what am I even doing?"
Yang Mei laughed, "Alright, you said it."
Liang Yuan stepped back, "Give it a try."
Yang Mei nodded, her hands reaching out towards Liang Yuan.
Immediately, a chill swiftly swept over Liang Yuan.
This chill, unlike Zhao Kaiās frost mist, was an invisible cold current sweeping over.
As the temperature dropped rapidly, the air quickly froze, and the water molecules in the air quickly vaporized, forming ice blades.
Liang Yuan didnāt move his hands; he released his spiritual power, aiming to form a spiritual barrier to block the cold.
However, the moment his spiritual power touched the cold, his expression changed sharply!
He felt a bone-chilling coldness rushing along his spiritual power into his mind!
Shocked, Liang Yuan hurriedly cut off his telekinesis.
At the same time, he quickly stepped back, and the cold dissipated before rapidly covering his body again.
Liang Yuan, still uncertain, thought for a moment and proactively reached out to touch the cold air.
Immediately, his arm was covered in a thick layer of frost, his capillaries constricted, and his qi and blood stagnated.
Liang Yuan clenched his fist, urging his qi and blood to circulate rapidly, breaking free from the coldās grip.
His qi and blood started flowing again.
But there was still a current of cold traveling along his bloodstream towards his brain!
Liang Yuanās heart raced, and he immediately said, "Thatās enough!"
He continuously circulated his qi and blood, washing away the cold, while looking at Yang Mei in amazement.
Seeing him like this, Yang Mei asked worriedly, "Whatās wrong? Little brother, are you alright? Did I accidentally hurt you?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "Your cold is completely different from Zhao Kaiās."
"Huh? Really?" Yang Mei, puzzled, looked at the ice blades on the ground and then at Liang Yuan, not feeling any difference.
Liang Yuan said solemnly, "Zhao Kaiās frost ability freezes matter in a physical sense, but your cold seems able to freeze spiritual power!"
"No, actually, it seems specifically aimed at freezing spiritual power!"
Recalling the sensation, Liang Yuan realized that Yang Meiās freezing cold was less effective at freezing matter but more potent at freezing spiritual power.
By circulating his qi and blood, he could break free from the frost.
But the moment his spiritual power touched it, it froze instantly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, or it would have been worse.
Hearing this, Yang Mei was filled with confusion and surprise, "Huh? How can that be?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "When superpowers awaken, no one can predict it. Even superpowers with the same attribute have their own focus."
"Differences are normal. Your ability seems to lean towards freezing spiritual power."
"However, freezing ordinary matter, your ability does just as well as Zhao Kaiās."
Saying this, Liang Yuan suddenly laughed, "I even grabbed Zhao Kai earlier today to make him dig ice holes for me. If I knew you could make ice, I wouldnāt have gone to so much trouble."
"Tomorrow, the two of us can work hard and dig out a four-room, two-hall space."
Yang Mei was still immersed in the confusion of her different superpower. Suddenly hearing the term "the two of us," she blushed, her heart fluttering with joy.
Filled with happiness, she threw herself into Liang Yuanās arms, "Alright, tomorrow I wonāt go anywhere. Weāll just stay home and dig the space."
