Chapter 24: Ancient Heart with Special Ability

The next day, early in the morning, Su Chen arrived at the training ground designated by Gao Fei.

This was an arena that was completely made of high-strength alloy.

It was used for the competition between Evolvers.

Although it had experienced tens of thousands of battles, the arena was still as clean as new. It was said that it was made of some extremely expensive memory metal.

The main reason was to reduce the cost of maintenance. Since they had to spend a lot of resources to maintain the arena, it would be better to build the arena better from the very beginning.

“Fighting in this place might be more advantageous for Evolvers with metal-related abilities,” Su Chen said.

The truth was just as he had predicted. When Zhang Yi saw the arena, his eyes instantly lit up..

His superpower was metal control!

The arena was made of metal. It was a battle environment tailored for him.

“If I defeat Su Chen, I’ll get an evolution potion. If I can increase my superpower level before the exploration, the exploration process will be much safer.”

Zhang Yi murmured, looking at Su Chen with more fighting spirit.

He did not feel that it was unfair to defeat Su Chen in this arena. After all, Su Chen’s superpower level was a bit higher than his.

Su Chen glanced at Zhang Yi, who was looking at him with excitement, and shivered.

“Is there something wrong with this person?” Su Chen whispered.

Zhang Yi’s look was indeed a little scary.

If Su Chen knew what Zhang Yi was thinking, he might kindly remind him that the difference in power level was not just a little bit.

This morning, Su Chen woke up to find that the bull’s soul had finally completely fused with his body, and his power level had reached the middle level three.

However, Su Chen did not underestimate the other rookies. For now, the bull’s soul had given him the ability to strengthen his strength and defense in a short period of time.

In terms of power strength, it was not very strong.

Although this situation would improve after absorbing other beast souls, for now, Su Chen really did not have a 100% confidence in winning.

Therefore, Su Chen paid a lot of attention to this practical combat training.

This could be considered his first face-to-face encounter with an enemy after obtaining his special ability. Although the “enemy” was his classmate, it could also add a lot of practical combat experience to him.

This was especially true for the team battle that followed suit. If Gao Fei really allowed others to form a small team to fight against him, then would Su Chen not experience the feeling of an Origin Beast by himself?

Just as Su Chen’s thoughts were running wild, Gao Fei also arrived at the venue.

Everyone greeted Gao Fei.

Gao Fei began to explain the rules of today’s match.

“Today is the first actual combat training.

“We will use the form of individual battles.

“The first round will be decided by drawing lots.

“We will fight in sequence, and we will stop there.

“The meaning of fighting in sequence is that everyone has fought at least once.”

As Gao Fei’s voice fell, many of the rookies in the field began to complain.

“If everyone has to fight once, doesn’t that mean there will be at least 16 battles!”

“F*ck, this will tire everyone to death!”

…

Su Chen rubbed his nose, feeling apologetic.

After all, beating up 16 people in a day was still very enviable.

When Gao Fei heard the discussions of the crowd, he replied, “First of all, 16 consecutive battles will not consume more stamina than exploring the wasteland once, only less!”

“Second, it’s not 16 battles, it’s 17!”

“Come out.”

As Gao Fei said this, he waved at the entrance of the arena.

As soon as he finished speaking, a round figure walked in from the entrance of the arena.

Su Chen looked towards the direction of the entrance and immediately widened his eyes. “Isn’t that Gu Xin?”

Gu Xin had also awakened his superpower?

When did this happen?!

Seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Gao Fei said, “His name is Gu Xin. He was also an employee of my exploration team. Yesterday, he awakened his superpower. His superpower is at level two beginner.”

“Hiss!”

As Gao Fei’s voice fell, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air again.

Suddenly, they seemed to understand something and started to discuss in low voices.

“F*ck, this person is the same as Su Chen! He’s also an employee of Captain Gao Fei!”

“Could it be that the key to awakening his superpower is to join Captain Gao Fei’s exploration team?”

“That’s not right! Not only that, I’m afraid that he has to enter as an employee!” A newcomer rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice,

As he said this, his eyes shone with wisdom!

“Hiss! Details, brother, you’re right!”

Everyone was also surprised by this rookie’s speculation. It was actually so detailed!

“Cough, cough.”

Seeing that his exploration team was about to become the cradle of awakening his special ability in the eyes of these rookies, Gao Fei hurriedly coughed twice to interrupt.

If he continued, he did not know what strange things these rookies could think of!

Why was it so difficult to lead this batch of rookies?!

Could it be because it was his first teaching mission?

Was it actually his own problem?

Looking at everyone’s strange brain circuits, Gao Fei even began to doubt himself.

It was only the time of one mission.

Two of his employees had obtained their special abilities. One of them was at level three, while the other was at level two.

Gao Fei almost believed the results of their speculations!

Could it really be that there was something wrong with his own team?

He had never noticed it before!

Gu Xin walked into the arena with a confused expression. At first glance, he saw Su Chen among the crowd. His eyes immediately lit up as he walked toward Su Chen’s position.

At least he had an acquaintance!

Seeing Gu Xin walking over, Su Chen hurriedly asked, “When did you awaken your superpower?”

The rookies standing around Su Chen also moved their ears closer. What the two of them were going to say next was very likely to be the secret of Gao Fei’s squad!

Su Chen was also very curious about the reason why Gu Xin had awakened his superpower. Strictly speaking, Gu Xin was the second person to awaken his superpower on his own after Li Mo!

Hearing Su Chen’s question, Gu Xin said, “I don’t know. It should have been last night. I was eating a compressed biscuit normally when it suddenly awakened.”

Su Chen was speechless.

Hearing this strange answer, he really had nothing to say. Su Chen thought Gu Xin had gone to find an Origin Beast to fight.

“Brother, what kind of biscuit do you eat?” The newcomer with glasses came up.

Gu Xin was stunned, and subconsciously replied, “Uh… the one in my hand.”

The newcomer with glasses kept recording their conversation in his notebook.

Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly stopped Gu Xin from continuing, afraid that he would lead others astray.

If he guessed correctly, Gu Xin had probably awakened his superpower long ago, but the energy in his body was not enough to use it.

During this period of time, he had been eating non-stop. That was the first time he had awakened his superpower last night.

Su Chen’s guess was very close to the truth. It was almost the same as the report Gao Fei received from the lighthouse.

The Lighthouse was unable to give a detailed answer about the reason why Su Chen and Li Mo had awakened. In the end, it concluded that this was the potential of humans facing a desperate situation.

“Since everyone is clear about the rules, the competition will begin. Everyone will draw lots through their wristwatches.”

Gao Fei’s voice entered everyone’s ears.

Hearing this, everyone opened the drawing page and completed the drawing of lots.

“The first round, Gu Xin vs Nono.”
