Chapter 1228: Misunderstanding

Lin Dui, what are you researching...?

The wind sounded woo-woo; after the whole team slept fully clothed, Zhang Tie, who had been holding back his curiosity, finally couldn't help but edge up to Lin An and ask curiously.

The night was already late.

At this time, the corresponding real time should be three or four o'clock in the morning; in the damp climate, the dark clouds in the sky were gradually gathering, blocking the moonlight.

One cannot see five fingers ahead; across the entire wilderness, the spiritual energy light constantly bursting from Lin An's body appeared somewhat eerie.

After retracting his spiritual energy, Lin An raised his head to look at Zhang Tie, who had come up beside him, hesitated a moment, then spoke in a low voice:

"Energization.."

"I want to try and see if I can achieve energization."

His eyes showed a hint of fatigue.

Unlike under normal conditions, after repeated trials, even if his will attribute were high, he now had a faint headache.

Trying to contact a realm he had never set foot in, he could only explore bit by bit, deducing.

"Energization?"

Hearing a term beyond his intellect, Xiong Hanzi scratched his head and gave a dry laugh twice.

Fine, he realized he'd asked in vain.

"Lin Dui, is this important?"

"I see you've tried many times; I feel like you're torturing yourself..."

He sniffed.

Even though Lin An quickly retracted his blood after each injury, with his nose he could naturally smell the strong blood odor around Lin An.

His body kept exploding time and again; the estimated blood loss was enough to replace all his blood.

"Very important, it concerns the rules."

"If we can master it, this competition should pose no difficulty... Moreover, after we go out, we are likely to face Alien Species."

Lin An explained expressionlessly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

On the system map, he noticed the movements of the Huaxia War Zone.

It appeared to be "pursuing and killing" the Brahma War Zone, but in fact, for a few hours, the military's coordinates were briefly blurred.

With his observational skills, who wouldn't think the military had definitely split its forces?

Just like him, he could guess what that bunch of Alien Species intended by suddenly dispersing their personnel.

If nothing unexpected happens, those Alien Species are likely looking for him.

His strength has basically been exposed.

Putting himself in their shoes, Lin An asked himself: if he were an Alien Species, even if they couldn't kill him in the competition, after leaving they would try to organize another encirclement!

The time left for him was already short.

Vaguely, Lin An could feel that a major change was imminent.

"Alien Species.."

Zhang Tie's face also suddenly darkened upon hearing it.

Although Lin An hadn't told him much about Alien Species, he also knew how disgusting they were.

"Damn it, those military idiots being controlled don't even know it!"

"Hey, who knows how many real people are left..."

Muttering a couple of sentences, watching Lin An try again, Zhang Tie's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

"Lin Dui!"

"You mentioned energization, and I suddenly thought of someone!"

"Do you still remember Xuan Hai Cheng!?"

"That guy isn't he just turned into some state, isn't he just an energy body!?"

"You can learn from him!"

Hearing Xiong Hanzi's words, Lin An raised his head again and gave a bitter laugh.

He no longer needed that silly reminder.

Actually, the reason he kept exploding his body was to simulate Xuan Hai Cheng's approach.

Gathering his spiritual energy, he tried to turn himself into a form similar to an energy body.

But in reality, the ideal was wonderful while the reality was frail.

He could forcibly gather his spiritual energy; the more reserves he had, the stronger his control.

But no matter how he tested, once his spiritual energy reached a limit, it would immediately burst forth. Not to mention becoming an energy body—turning into a human flesh bomb would already be not bad.

"Useless.."

"Xuan Hai Cheng became a condensed state only through external forces combined with his talent."

"Put bluntly, he's already dead. He's merely been fixed in a half‑alive, half‑dead state. He has no physical body left—it's not a change at all, but a complete transformation."

Shaking his head, Lin An silently sighed, feeling he had reached an impasse.

Should we try capturing a few elemental Awakened Ones to test?

Although the talent to embody elements is rare, if we look for it we might manage to catch a few.

Dissecting them might yield some discovery.

Seeing Lin An fall into thought again, Zhang Tie gave a dry laugh and didn't mind.

All we saw was him scratching his head and speaking in a muffled voice:

"Lin Dui, why not ask Chu Da Bian Tai? I think he might know how to do it."

"Xuan Hai Cheng is his creation; he might be able to help you with it."

After saying that, Zhang Tie slapped his own chest with a pa:

"Hey, Chu big pervert! Come out quickly!"

"Lin Dui is looking for you!"

Knowing Chu An had installed something on his body, being thick-skinned, he didn't think much of it. He completely treated himself as a telephone.

Seeing Xiong Hanzi like that, Lin An somewhat amusingly stopped him.

"No need to call."

"At such a distance, he might not be able to hear."

"Or if he has a way, he'll probably tell me. After all, I think he also knows the importance of this matter."

"Moreover..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin An shook his head.

He couldn't possibly rely on Chu An for everything.

Not to mention whether Chu An can solve it, mastering rules and such can only be relied on oneself. He thought it was better to understand clearly how to use it than to be told by others.

Furthermore, although Lin An also knew, Chu An had definitely been arranging things in the dark; it can be said that since joining the team, he has continuously helped him solve problems.

But in his heart, he was not willing to rely too much on the other party.

Chu An is too mysterious..

Listening to Lin An's explanation, Zhang Tie also let out a sigh.

He was used to seeking Lin An for difficulties and Chu An for troubles, and had nothing to worry about.

Seeing Lin An trapped in a predicament, he actually felt willing but powerless.

"Hey, Lin Dui."

"If you keep blasting, don't blow yourself up."

"You absolutely must not blast your brain..!"

Seeing Lin An again using himself as an experiment, Zhang Tie couldn't help but nervously remind him.

If Lin Dui were to blow his brains out, he could go crazy!

Ignoring Xiong Hanzi's worries, Lin An slightly shook his head and continued the experiment.

"Blast the brain? How could that be.."

He tried to fill his body with spiritual energy, simulating it as an energy form, the biggest obstacle being what to do with the brain.

He thought it very clear: the body can be repaired, allowing him to repeat experiments, but the brain cannot.

Just like the operation of Disaster Power, he has never tried to transform the nervous system.

It can be said that whether it's energyization or..

"Huh?"

"Wait a minute!?"

"Why can't I 'blast the brain!?'?"

"Or rather, why should I ability-ify the brain!? Why should I pursue the whole body!?"

"No! Why should I energy-ify myself!?"

In an instant, Lin An suddenly froze in place.

Damn it! He actually fell into a misconception!

He seemed to know what to do.
