CHAPTER 52: 52. POWERFUL VAJRA SUPERPOWER

At this moment, Yang Fan’s condition was not as the soldiers imagined, radiating the aura of the "Great Xia’s strongest person" from head to toe.

Quite the opposite.

He was somewhat disheveled.

Because—he was too hungry.

Yang Fan felt that every cell in his body was screaming "I am so hungry".

He was sitting in a hidden cave, continuously stuffing food into his mouth.

With such a way of eating, it seems even a starving ghost would be ashamed.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

His teeth easily crushed chicken bones, swallowing them down whole.

A warm feeling swiftly spread from his stomach, extending to every part of his body.

Yang Fan mumbled indistinctly, "It seems my digestion ability has enhanced a lot again."

Several lines of illusory text hovered motionlessly in front of his eyes.

————

[Attributes] (Weak State)

physical Value: 15.9

Spirit Value: 18.4

[Superpower]

Vajra: Activated, Middle grade Physical Superpower, current Evolution Level is 1%.

Light Spirit: Activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, current Evolution Level is 6%.

Gale: Not activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, activation requires consumption of 1 point of Spiritual Source Value.

[Energy]

Spiritual Source Value: 6.9

————

Upon seeing the words "Weak State" among others, Yang Fan was somewhat bemused: "Starvation can actually starve you into a weak state?"

Just now, activating the Middle Grade Superpower Vajra, his physical Value increased by 8 points in a short period.

For the sake of experiencing the new superpower, he whimsically carved eight large characters on the rock wall with his fingers.

Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming wave of hunger, and stars appeared before his eyes, so he hurriedly left.

This was undoubtedly the "side effect" of the sudden increase in physical Value.

Yang Fan glanced at the Spirit Value, perplexed: "Activating the Vajra Superpower raised the physical Value by 8 points, why did the Spirit Value increase by 1 point as well?"

He gnawed on a chicken wing, speculating: "Could it be because the physical Value is nourishing back to the spirit?"

He nodded: "A ratio of 1 to 8 is still just about tolerable."

Shangjing City.

In a Secret Base.

General Lou, after finishing his work, returned to the poolside.

The Mermaid leisurely surfaced with a playful laugh: "General, I thought you forgot today’s lesson."

Earlier, she had uttered a single "Supreme Treasure," which seemed to put the old general in a trance, leaving without a word.

General Lou felt a bit awkward: "Terribly sorry, Miss Jana, I got too excited just now."

The Mermaid was quite understanding: "If the Mei Jia Civilization saw the emergence of a clan member fused with a Supreme Treasure, the Venerables would be as joyous as you."

Curious, General Lou inquired: "May I ask how many Venerables your noble clan currently has?"

The Mermaid replied proudly: "We have eight mighty Venerables. They are the eight pillars holding up the sky for the Mei Jia Civilization."

General Lou appeared thoughtful.

Eight Venerables, still not reaching double digits, can claim to be "a top large clan" within a World Group?

The old general pondered and asked again: "For a civilization to gain a foothold in the Primordial World, how many Venerables are needed?"

The Mermaid flicked her tail: "One is enough."

General Lou was mildly stunned: "That few?"

He continued, "I recall you previously mentioned that a medium-sized Civilization World can give birth to seven to ten Supreme Treasures.

"Lucky ones who acquire a Supreme Treasure have a 50% chance of becoming a Venerable. By this calculation, a medium-sized civilization should have at least three Venerables."

The Mermaid laughed, covering her mouth: "Have you forgotten something, General?"

Perplexed, General Lou asked: "Which part?"

The Mermaid slowed her speech: "If they survive, that is."

She smiled and explained: "Every civilization entering the Primordial World will undoubtedly face countless dangers.

"Most fortunate ones with a Supreme Treasure can’t become Venerables before they perish."

General Lou let out an "Ah", his old face filled with embarrassment.

The Mermaid leisurely stated: "Indeed, among various civilizations, half of the Venerables are Supreme Treasure bearers. The 50% chance wasn’t an exaggeration."

General Lou, with concern on his aged face, remarked: "It seems the Primordial World is far more terrifying than we Great xia People imagined."

The Mermaid glanced at him: "General, no need for such worry."

General Lou appeared baffled.

The Mermaid brushed a strand of hair with her delicate hands: "That Mr. Ghost’s Supreme Treasure is exceptionally peculiar. I don’t think he will die easily."

General Lou forced a smile: "That is indeed good news."

Only then did he realize, that the Great Xia might have underestimated Mr. Ghost’s significance.

This elusive powerhouse might become the only Venerable of Canglan Star in the future.

General Lou shifted the topic: "Miss Jana, after Wu Dingtian awakened his superpower, his physical Value cumulatively increased by 3 points.

"According to your guidance yesterday, Wu Dingtian used the ’Spiritual Silk Technique’ for testing and confirmed his Spirit Value grew by 0.1 points."

The Mermaid nodded: "That’s passing!"

She further explained: "There is a very subtle connection between physical and spirit, from which one can glimpse the potential.

"This natural growth ratio of the two is called the ’Spiritual Body Ratio’ by the Mei Jia Civilization, maintaining it below 30.

"If the physical Value increases by 3 points, and the Spirit Value grows above 0.1 points, it indicates decent potential in spirit.

"With Wu Dingtian’s aptitude, the probability of awakening a second superpower, that is, a spiritual Element superpower, should be over 70%."

General Lou immediately expressed gratitude: "Thank you so much for your guidance."

He further inquired: "Miss Jana, what is the limit of the Spiritual Body Ratio?"

The Mermaid did not hesitate to reply: "The highest limit in the Mei Jia Civilization is 12, where an increase in physical Value of 1.2 points corresponds to an increase of 0.1 in Spirit Value."

General Lou sighed again: "The gap is staggering."

He began to understand why the Mei Jia Civilization could become a top large clan in a World Group.

The talent of these Mermaids is indeed much stronger than that of the Canglan People!

*

Around Jingyun County.

In the forest.

Yang Fan had been gorging himself for nearly an hour, consuming more than double his body weight in food, eventually achieving a sense of fullness.

He checked the panel and found the "Weak State" words had disappeared.

He also rubbed his belly: "If I turned into a food streamer, I’d definitely become Canglan Star’s top foodie streamer."

He belched: "A waste of a big eater’s talent."

What a pity.

The era is different now.

Food streamers worldwide have vanished without a trace.

Half an hour later.

Yang Fan provocatively shouted at a wild boar.

This wild boar weighed over three hundred pounds, truly a massive beast.

The boar, enraged, charged crazily at Yang Fan, crashing heavily into him.

Yang Fan neither dodged nor evaded, with a smile on his face.

"Bang!"

A dull thud resounded.

The indistinct surface of Yang Fan’s body became even more elusive.

The next moment.

A strange phenomenon occurred.

The wild boar flew backward at an even faster pace, shot more than twenty meters, and collided heavily with a boulder.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled.

The boar’s mouth and nose trickled with blood, dying silently.

Yang Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

This was precisely the formidable power of the Vajra Superpower.

The superpower could deflect the enemy’s attack—in this case, the boar effectively hit itself, thus rebounding swiftly backward.

Of course.

The reflection has a certain limit.

If the attack exceeds the limit, only a part can be deflected.

This entire scene.

Was also filmed by drone and transmitted to the Jiuzhou Corps Headquarters in Shangjing City.

Commander Wu watched this scene, his expression somewhat complex.

An old researcher, having glanced at the video, then at the commander, asked: "Commander Wu..."

Commander Wu interrupted directly: "If I activated my superpower, and got hit by a wild boar, I might take a few steps back but couldn’t rebound the boar."

The old researcher remained silent, nodding slightly.

Commander Wu, as if trying to regain some face, added: "By human standards, my physical Value is indeed quite high.

"But by wild boar standards, I certainly can’t compare to this grown wild boar."

This general sighed: "Mr. Ghost is truly monstrous."

The old researcher concurred: "Truly monstrous!"
