Chapter 47: The Path of Innate Skills and Enhancements (Part 1)

  When Muxun Xing and Old Zhou arrived in the spacious living room of the institute, Old Xia had already been chatting with Xialin for a while on a specially customized large sofa. Seeing them coming, he immediately greeted the two to sit down quickly, and several cups of fragrant tea were already placed on the table.

  Mudanxing was just thirsty, so he quickly used his mind to pick up a cup of fragrant tea and started drinking. Old Zhou, on the other hand, slowly lifted the teacup in front of him, carefully savoring it.

  Lao Xia and the others drank a mouthful of fragrant tea in front of them to moisten their throats before speaking: "Mù Xiǎozi, it seems that you have also worked hard on controlling your mental powers during this period! Your parents had news sent back before the fifth day. They said that they discovered a mysterious pharaoh's burial site in Egypt and won't be returning home for some time now. If you have time, go back to your old home, under the ancestral tablet in your family's main hall, there is something left for you!"

  Mudanxing heard the news and didn't know what to say about his irresponsible parents. As their son, he hardly ever got to see them throughout the year, and now that things were like this outside, they still refused to come back.

  Mudanxing furrowed his brow, helplessly muttering to himself: "Now the whole world is in chaos everywhere, and there are many parasitic beasts. How can they still not return home safely? Isn't this what makes me, as a son, worried?"

  At this time, Old Zhou gently put the teacup in his hand on the table and said: "Since your parents clearly know that it's not safe outside but still choose to stay abroad, it proves that their discovery is indeed very important. Moreover, they are all adults now, will take good care of themselves, besides, from my personal feeling, your parents are absolutely not some thrifty lamps, so you don't have to worry too much."

  During the years of living in Muxun Xing's home, Lao Zhou and Lao Xia also met Muxun Xing's parents a few times. The couple gave people a very special feeling, which left a deep impression on Lao Zhou until now.

  Lao Xia smiled and said, "I think it's better to start talking about everyone's experiences over this period of time." Seeing that no one present objected, Lao Xia began to speak eloquently: "Let me first talk about what happened with Old Zhou at the research institute. It all started from the day a group of parasites attacked..."

  As Lao Xia finished speaking, Muxu Xing also briefly explained some of their experiences in the film over this period.

  Mudustar smiled and took out some of the spoils from his spatial ring on his left hand, placing them on the table in front of him. With an excited tone that he couldn't hide, he said: "These are the spoils we got from this game, 'Fantasy Record'. They're all really good stuff!"

  Lao Xia looked at the black single-handed magic sword on the table, and slightly activated his own ability. The sword flew into his hand obediently, and after staring at it for a while, he raised his head and said: "There seems to be a very special energy covering the body of this sword, is it that world's magic sword?"

  Old Zhou, who was standing beside him, used his spiritual power to scan the sword in Old Xia's hand and said: "Indeed, this sword has a very special energy attached to it. I only felt a dark and deep aura, and from its attributes, it clearly belongs to the Dark Force." Later, he also picked up a gemstone on the table and took a look at it, saying: "This thing is quite interesting. I actually felt that there was a strong and chaotic energy inside, and this energy seemed to be mixed with some negative emotions!"

  Mudan Xing was extremely surprised after hearing Lao Zhou's casual words, staring at the two people in front of him. It had only been a short time since they last met, yet they already had such an understanding of their own abilities. Lao Zhou simply used his spiritual power to casually scan Dark Sword Ji Soul and the gemstone sealed with resentment, and immediately explained the situation of both items almost perfectly.

  Xia Lin Yue looked at Old Zhou with curiosity and asked, "Uncle Zhou, how much have you and Father enhanced your abilities during this period? You were able to see through the situation of two objects so quickly."

  Lao Zhou laughed and replied: "This time, Lao Xia and I are at home, not just simply strengthening our heterozygous abilities, but also developing our heterozygous generic skills!"

  Muxin Xing had a puzzled expression: "Universal Skill?"

  Lao Xia controlled the Dark Sword, floating slowly in mid-air as he explained to Mu Chen Xing: "You're also aware that our transplanted abilities are severely weakened compared to their original owners in the movies! Take my geomagnetic powers for example. In the movie, Geomagnetism can exert its own strength to suspend a section of the Golden Gate Bridge in mid-air as a tool for action. Although it's just one segment of the bridge, its weight is absolutely no less than 50,000 tons. I can currently control metal objects weighing around 200 tons within a radius of about 500 meters in mid-air, which is already my limit. In this period of time, no matter how hard I train, I won't be able to break through this limit."

  Old Zhou slowly took a sip of the fragrant tea and then naturally made an excuse, saying: "It's not just Old Xia, but also my mental sensitivity ability is far beyond what Professor X did in the movie, where he instantly stopped a person's actions in a certain area. Even with our brain wave enhancement device, we can't achieve that effect. As Old Xia said, the power and range of mental sensitivity abilities cannot be further enhanced. So, we started thinking of other ways to further enhance our abilities, which is to fully develop and utilize our own unique abilities."

  Lao Xia controlled the dark sword that was floating in mid-air, and it landed steadily on the table. He looked at Mu Chen Xing and Xia Lin Yue, who were both excited, and continued to say: "For example, my magnetic field control ability, apart from being able to manipulate metal, also has some other very special properties. As long as you find the right direction, you can greatly increase the power of your heterodyne and its uses!"

  "What other properties? Magnetic force, electromagnetic force! Ah, Old Xia, you can use magnetic force to strongly interfere with most electronic devices and magnetize most metal devices." After thinking for a moment, Muxun Xing suddenly remembered some of the other properties of magnetic force that he knew, and his eyes grew brighter. Why hadn't he thought of this before? There was actually another way to increase his own strength.

  Lao Xia heard Mu Chen Xing say that magnetic field characteristic, but laughed and said: "Young man, it seems you still don't understand the properties of magnetism and its capabilities. The other abilities born from controlling the magnetic field are not as simple as you think. Now, I'll give you a good analysis."

  Firstly, I can interfere with the Earth's magnetic field through my own magnetic field, cancel out gravity, and achieve high-speed flight. Moreover, a strong magnetic field can also create a protective shield, deflect energy attacks to some extent, and as for physical attacks, as long as they are metal-carrying objects, they pose no threat to me at all.

  "As for metal objects changing under the influence of a magnetic field, they can become powerful lethal weapons no less potent than cannonballs. And I'm still researching how to use magnetic fields to control the iron elements on an opponent's body and disrupt the neural electrical currents in their body."

  At this time, Old Zhou also smiled and replied: "As I said to Old Xia, my spiritual sense has also given rise to two new skills. Although they are not as powerful as his several innate skills, their characteristics are still pretty good."

  Lao Xia heard Lao Zhou's humble words and immediately rolled his eyes, saying: "If your generic skills are not powerful, then I really don't know what kind of powerful generic skills look like in your eyes!"

  As soon as Lao Xia said this, Mu Chen Xing and Xia Lin Yue immediately became interested. They had already understood the general skills of Lao Xia just now, almost every item had a very useful effect. Now it's time to see what kind of general skills Lao Zhou has.

  Lao Zhou still smiled calmly and said, "My two innate skills, one is the ability to provide healing for myself or others, and the other is the ability to directly exert pressure on the enemy's brain, nothing special."

  Mudan Xing and Xia Linxiao, the two younger ones, had already been stunned by Lao Xia and Lao Zhou's ingenious ideas. During this period of time, they had indeed made a very comprehensive analysis and understanding of their own abilities. Furthermore, when their own abilities could no longer continue to increase in power level, they thought of another way to further enhance the might and diversity of their ability usage.

  This is a qualitative change in one's own strength, transforming the original single-function heterogeneity into a multi-heterogeneous ability with multiple different attribute effects. After their transformation, the new skills born from the original abilities have extremely powerful might and special effects.

  Let's take the new skill that Old Xia just mentioned, which is still in the experimental stage, about manipulating the iron elements in the human body to make it suffer and obey commands. In terms of combat, this is a very effective sneak attack move. If an enemy who is fully resisting suddenly experiences severe pain, it will cause them to be distracted for a short period of time, and this brief moment is often fatal in a life-or-death battle.

  But Lao Xia was studying another general skill that was even more terrifying, interfering with human neural currents. If he fully mastered this skill, its lethal effect on animals would be very close to the mental abilities possessed by Lao Zhou and Mu Chen Xing, causing all bodily functions to malfunction and creating hallucinations. It's as if he had controlled another spiritual system ability.

  As for Lao Zhou's mental system's generic ability, although so far there are only two abilities, namely mental treatment and mental impact, and he said it very lightly, but Muxin Xing understood the strength of these two abilities.

  Mudan Xing and Xia Linxiao both have excellent self-healing abilities, but they can only be used on themselves. However, Lao Zhou's mental healing ability can be used on others, and at times, this ability can be lifesaving.

  As for Old Zhou's other ability, it can be described as terrifying. Using mental powers to directly oppress and attack the brain of a biological creature is similar to Medusa's gaze from the planet Mucen, having an unexpected lethal force against living beings. Moreover, apart from being able to block mental sensing with special helmets, there are basically no other methods to prevent such attacks.

  As for their own abilities, Muxin Xing and Xia Linxue still have a lot to learn from Old Xia and Old Zhou. They have far surpassed the two in terms of proficiency in using their own abilities.
