Chapter 41: Projection of Spiritual Power

"Since that is the case, the handling of the Zombie King and Chen Hai is settled. The Zombie King must be eliminated, and Chen Hai will be handed over to the Fubei Base to deal with themselves."

The meeting dispersed very quickly.

After the meeting ended, He Yongsheng returned home with a gloomy expression.

This time, in order to win over a few "allies" to speak for him, the price he paid was not small.

Not long after, he had someone call an old man over.

"Master." The old man bowed respectfully to He Yongsheng.

"Go, spread the word for me: my son's wedding will be postponed for a period of time," He Yongsheng instructed.

"Master, why is that?" The old man was somewhat puzzled.

"Because I have found a suitable heart donor again; we will talk after my son finishes his heart transplant," He Yongsheng said indifferently.

Originally, the wedding date he had set for his son was six days away.

But he could not guarantee that he would definitely be able to capture Chen Hai within six days.

Previously, he had thought Chen Hai was already dead and there was no hope for his son's heart transplant, which was why he intended to let his son marry first, with the goal of continuing the family line.

But there were risks to his son getting married; if it really reached that point, his son might very well suffer cardiac arrest due to excessive emotional agitation.

Now that there was hope for a heart transplant, he naturally wanted to wait until his son was cured and had the transplant before getting married and having children.

After hearing He Yongsheng's explanation, the old man nodded quickly: "Very well, Master, I will go and pass the message down right now."

After the old man left, He Yongsheng thought for a moment, then turned and walked toward the backyard.

In a small courtyard in the back, a teenager of seventeen or eighteen was lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun.

Hearing footsteps, the teenager turned his head, saw it was He Yongsheng, and immediately called out: "Dad!"

"Son, how are you feeling?" He Yongsheng asked with concern.

"Dad, I'm fine." The teenager shook his head, then added in a pleading tone, "Dad, just promise me you'll cancel the engagement with Li Ruixi. She doesn't like me, and I don't want to force her."

"Son, Dad knows you like Li Ruixi, and that is enough."

Without waiting for the teenager to say anything more, He Yongsheng continued: "Don't worry, in a while, Dad will find the best Healing Ability User in the world to treat your illness, and you will be better soon."

"Dad, I heard that to treat my illness, I need a heart transplant, is that right? I don't want to use someone else's heart," the teenager suddenly said.

Hearing this, He Yongsheng's expression turned cold instantly.

"Who told you that treating your illness requires a heart transplant?" He Yongsheng stared at his son with a serious expression.

He had been keeping the heart transplant a secret from his son. His son was too kind; if he knew the truth, he would absolutely never agree to it.

Seeing He Yongsheng's expression look so ugly, the teenager was startled.

The next second, his face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid instantly.

This scene caused He Yongsheng's expression to change drastically.

"Son, don't get agitated, Dad didn't mean to blame you." He Yongsheng hurriedly stepped forward to soothe him.

Under his soothing, the teenager slowly recovered.

"Dad, no one told me, I guessed it myself," the teenager said in a low voice.

He Yongsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guessed wrong; treating your illness doesn't require someone else's heart. It couldn't be cured before only because the Healing Ability User's strength wasn't enough."

After a pause, He Yongsheng softened his tone and continued: "A few days ago, our country's top Healing Ability User had another breakthrough; they will definitely be able to cure you now. Just focus on recovering, and I will invite them over in a while."

After hearing this, the teenager's complexion improved quite a bit.

"I understand, Dad, thank you, Dad."

He Yongsheng nodded, chatted with his son for a few more moments, and then left.

Just as he walked to another courtyard, a very beautiful woman immediately came up to greet him.

"Master~" the woman called out coquettishly.

Not long after, strange sounds emanated from the room.

After calming down, He Yongsheng sighed lightly.

"Ability Users, why can't they reproduce?"

This was the one thing He Yongsheng could not figure out.

From the outbreak of the apocalypse until now, five or six years had passed, and anyone who had awakened an ability was unable to reproduce.

Otherwise, he would not value this only son so much.

Last year, his son wanted to participate in the ability awakening, but he stopped him.

Before his son left behind offspring, he would not let his son awaken an ability no matter what.

If it weren't for the fact that Ability Users could not reproduce, he would only be in his fifties this year; if he found a few more women, he could have had a pile of children himself.

But reality was just that cruel; Ability Users simply could not reproduce.

This matter was kept strictly confidential by the world's high-level officials; if ordinary people knew, many would likely give up on awakening abilities altogether.

Nowadays, the Sangshi and Bianyi Shou were getting stronger and stronger; if humanity did not continue to grow stronger, there would be a danger of extinction sooner or later.

Now every country was short of Ability Users, so naturally, the more who awakened, the better; whether they could reproduce had become secondary.

Cangling Mountain Range.

Chen Yusheng was cultivating with all his might.

Two days passed in a flash, and Chen Yusheng finally cultivated his True Qi to one thousand strands, successively opening up several Meridians and over a dozen Acupoints.

Especially with the Acupoints, the more Chen Yusheng opened, the higher the quality of his True Qi became.

After being purified and compressed through all the Acupoints, the quality of the True Qi improved by at least ten percent.

As his cultivation officially broke through to the Qi Refining First Layer, not only did the quality of his True Qi become stronger, but he also discovered that his Spiritual Power could actually be projected externally.

Inside the cave, Chen Yusheng had his eyes closed, yet he could clearly perceive everything within a one-meter radius around him.

That sensation was as if he carried his own radar; within one meter, there was a 360-degree view with no blind spots, and nothing could escape his perception.

However, Chen Yusheng also discovered a problem—his Spiritual Power could not pass through walls.

It wasn't that it couldn't pass through at all, but once the one-meter perception range encountered a wall, it was reduced to only one millimeter.

In other words, when there was an obstacle, the range of his Spiritual Power perception was only one-thousandth of what it was in open air.

If it were a solid wall ten centimeters thick, to penetrate it with Spiritual Power, his perception range in open air would need to reach at least ten meters.

"Projecting Spiritual Power; this ability is not bad."

For Chen Yusheng, the ability to project Spiritual Power was definitely good news.

In his future cultivation, he would no longer need to keep a Zombie Crystal in his mouth; as long as he held it in his hand, he could directly absorb the Spiritual Qi within.

The range of Spiritual Power projection would continuously expand as his cultivation level increased.

Although it was only one meter now, once his cultivation level rose, sooner or later he would be able to reach ten meters, a hundred meters, or even a thousand or ten thousand meters.

If he could truly perceive over a hundred meters, it would be of immense help to Chen Yusheng.

First was scouting the environment; with Spiritual Power, no one would be able to sneak up on him.

Besides scouting for enemies, there was also Mental Object Manipulation.

For example, the Technique he unleashed was powerful, but it was not easy to hit an enemy who could dodge.

But if he had Spiritual Power to guide it, his Technique could be like a guided missile, hitting exactly where he pointed with absolute precision.
