Hei Deng Xia Huo

Chapter 31 Era

“Hmm?”

Xing Hechou paused, looking at the [Cardinal Cube], "So this is what you got from Miss Su.

Then what is this lightning?"

"Both the cube and the lightning are power systems that can be used unconditionally. The former is more inclined towards logistical specialization, while the latter, to be precise, is a seed of power that will automatically trigger when the time is right."

Li Ang explained, showing Wang Congshan the item descriptions for the [Cardinal Cube] and the [Remnant Spark of a Planeswalker] separately.

[Name: Remnant Spark of a Planeswalker]

[Type: Magical Relic (Consumable)]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect: Ignite Spark. After use, you will have the talent to ignite the spark of origin]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooldown: None]

[Equipment Condition: None]

[Remarks: Among tens of millions of living beings, usually only one possesses the talent called "Spark." And of those who possess a spark, only a very few can awaken themselves in the midst of great crisis and trauma, igniting it. Those who ignite their spark will become a special existence called "Planeswalker," capable of traversing the chaotic and twisted dark void, exploring the vast and unknown depths of the cosmic sea, unbound by the world or fate]

[Remarks: This spark comes from a heavily injured, unnamed Planeswalker who died from a severe curse before he could climb the Holy Mountain and fulfill his wish to return home]

[Remarks: Current Binder - None]

Although this spark is called a spark, its shape is more like a cluster of scattered lightning. Li Ang exchanged a glance with the extremely surprised Wang Congshan and smiled.

This lightning-shaped spark was not suitable for him. He had discovered during his exploration last night that the Planeswalker Spark would conflict with his Swamp God power and could not be fused.

If the Swamp God power is based on a Zerg hive that is absolutely loyal to him, with attributes leaning more towards stability and order,

Then the Planeswalker Spark is more inclined towards independence and freedom, unconstrained.

The difference in attributes determined that the two could not coexist.

As for Chai Chai, because she was a Zerg Hive Saintess and also a Zerg Hive Overseer who was Li Ang's deputy, it was inconvenient for her to obtain player qualification and bind the Planeswalker Spark or the cube.

"A seed of power..."

Xing Hechou hesitated for a moment, walked to the side, and communicated with the other coaches and think tank team for a while before returning to discuss with Li Ang and the others.

Extraordinary power systems and power seeds are two concepts that are similar but have differences.

The former can be copied, spread, and taught, and has a certain universality.

As long as the basic conditions are met, and one studies according to the cultivation method, step by step, one can more or less make it work.

For example, Bai Haozheng's Nen ability system, the Shan Hai mech system, as well as the internal force, Ripple, arcane arts, magic, battle qi collected by the Special Affairs Bureau, and the spells of the Different Society.

Power seeds, on the other hand, are more like disposable consumables that can be implanted postnatally and are more difficult to copy and spread.

For example, mutant gene potions, spiritual roots, and fate wheels.

Both paths can eventually possess extraordinary power, and the potential in the later stages is basically the same, so it is impossible to say which is superior or inferior.

"Our original idea was to have Comrade Xiao Wang complete her training first, and then perform regular tasks. After her level is raised, we would open up the power system to her based on her specific situation and personal wishes.

Such as Nen ability, spiritual roots, etc.

Choosing the one that suits her."

Xing Hechou said, "But if Little Li has a more perfect option, we won't object. Officer Wang, what do you think?"

"We..."

Wang Fengnian exchanged a glance with his wife and coughed lightly, saying, "We don't really understand either, so... let Shan Shan decide for herself, and the organization can arrange it."

Li Ang nodded upon hearing this. Yesterday, he spent a whole night exploring this item, and after repeatedly scanning it with his divine sense, he finally confirmed that it was indeed a seed of power, and there were no hidden dangers such as the Dao Heart Demon or Mind Demon Seed.

And from the aura sensed by his divine sense, the essence contained in this spark was no weaker than any spiritual root, Nen ability, or even the Roanoke reindeer divinity relic.

After discussion, everyone decided to proceed according to the original plan, starting with the physical and skill training.

Wang Congshan walked into the training field, starting with a slow jog.

The medical team brought in equipment to monitor Wang Congshan's blood pressure, blood oxygen, pulse, and other vital signs in real-time.

Li Ang and Wang Fengnian and others sat down in the distance as family members.

The training process was unremarkable, and Chai Chai quickly became bored, asking Xing Hechou for a Special Affairs Bureau identity card and going to other places to stroll around with Liu Wudai.

Wei Linglan also received a notice from the Mobile Task Force and went to work on her own tasks.

Step, step, step, step.

Wang Congshan, wearing a black anti-gravity suit with automatic weight-increasing functions, ran laboriously on the circular track.

On the large screen in front of the training field, her rapid heartbeat was displayed at this moment.

165, 169, 171...

Her body was as heavy as if it had been filled with lead blocks, and her limbs were as hot as if they were burning.

Her tendons were tearing, her breathing was heavy, and her vision was blackening.

Whenever she couldn't hold on and was about to faint and fall to the ground,

The energy drink she had drunk earlier seemed to surge up from her stomach, injecting vitality into her exhausted body once again.

Finally, a green light appeared on the screen.

"8000-meter weighted sprint completed,"

The medical team glanced at the vital signs monitoring results and shouted loudly, "Rest for five minutes, and deadlift training will begin in five minutes."

"..."

Wang Fengnian and his wife Jiang Xinwan looked at their daughter, who was sitting on a bench with a pale face, gulping down an energy drink,

And then looked at the other two trainees in the neighboring training field, who were even younger than Wang Congshan, and sighed heavily.

Li Ang, who was closing his eyes in thought, sensing the surge of divine power in his body, heard their sighs,

He opened his eyes and said calmly, "Player qualification is both a blessing and a curse.

In comparison, they are already very lucky.

At the time node when they just became players, they can receive the most scientific and reasonable training, with dozens of teams working around them, tailor-made training plans, and hundreds of professional staff assisting and guiding them.

When the Killing Game first started, lone wolf players did not have such conditions at all, and everything had to be explored on their own.

Compared with that time, the starting death rate of players now has been reduced a lot."

"Hmm..."

Wang Fengnian nodded slowly. Although they all knew that the peaceful life of ordinary people now was the result of the Mobile Task Force's huge sacrifices and efforts, they still couldn't help but feel worried and anxious when this kind of situation really happened to their own relatives.

"I just didn't expect that even such young children would be chosen now."

Wang Fengnian looked at the two trainees in the neighboring training field, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, crawling and climbing in the sand and mud, and pursed his lips tightly.

"The Killing Game doesn't have any saying about respecting the old and cherishing the young, or protecting the weak,"

Li Ang said calmly, "The world has changed, and everyone has to make sacrifices, more or less, in order to survive."
