Chapter Ninety-One: Speculation and Episode of Empty Ice
Long Ling walked through the transparent area and found that he was already in the rest area under the competition table, and Butterfly Wufei was still lying on the seat, showing no signs of waking up.
"Teacher, what kind of ability do you have in the space department, it's so easy to use. Long Ling looked back at the place he had been staying in before and sighed.
"[Space Envoy] is just ordinary, and it's not worth mentioning compared to the ability you showed. Kong Bing looked at Long Ling intently, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him. [Space Messenger] is the strongest known ability among the space abilities, and can basically achieve all the effects of other space abilities. Like Yan Lao that Long Ling met before, his ability is [Space Blockade], and his main role is to control and seal, and he basically has no ability in other aspects, and he can perform a displacement to avoid the attack of the Prison Flame Dragon Emperor, which can only be shown by relying on special usage methods.
"The teacher was humble. Long Ling said.
Kong Bing was silent for a moment, and the next words made Long Ling suddenly nervous: "You have multiple abilities?"
"Teacher, what are you talking about, isn't it common sense that everyone can only have one ability, I just used the ability of the [Enchanter] to use multiple abilities. When Long Ling was about to use all his strength, he knew that he would definitely be discovered, and he had already prepared a statement to fool the past.
I saw Kong Bing shake his head and said, "No, you just used at least four abilities, and except for your strange wooden sword, all of them are physical abilities. Although I am not a [Enchanter] ability, I still know a little bit about the basic situation. [Enchanter] can only rely on other abilities to voluntarily guide the ability, and can only enchant some basic characteristics and attributes, such as the ability of enchanted flames, the enchanted equipment is to have fire resistance and incidental fire damage, and the injection of magic energy will also inspire some fire attacks, but it is definitely not very strong. In war, the battle between ordinary soldiers with the addition of enchanted equipment will have a great advantage, but in the collision of the top combat power of the two sides, although there is the participation of enchanted equipment, it will not have too much impact. This is also the reason why [Enchanter] is a strategic-level talent resource, but not a peak powerhouse. Long Ling was surprised by Kong Bing's knowledge, although he claimed to be a [Enchanter] ability, but he had only read some introductions in the book, because the ability was too rare, so there were not many introductions in the book, and Long Ling's understanding was to enchant weapons and equipment, and then obtain some attribute improvements and some basic abilities. It was very easy to use the Book of Heavenly Illusion to give items abilities, and the ability was also good, so Long Ling always thought that the ability of the [Enchanter] was similar.
"But the abilities you have shown are peculiar. Its fire is the body, and the electric light is the form. I once went to the Flame Mountain Range and fought against a ninth-order Thunder Flame Tiger, and I remember this battle very well, its flames are exactly the same as the flames you use. Although I have never heard of anyone possessing the ability of thunder flames, since you have used it, it means that there must be one. It's just that this can be said in the past, but why is there no difference between the Thunder Flame Flame and the Body Flame you use, and how did you do it. And your ability to manipulate plant growth is by no means an enchanted effect. Why is this, is it that your ability has mutated, so you can completely retain the effect of your original ability, can you tell me!" Kong Bing's original Gu Jing Wubo's eyes and expression became more and more excited, and finally there was even a strange look of curiosity in his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but grab Long Ling's shoulders.
"That, teacher?" Long Ling reminded helplessly from his aching shoulders that were scratched by empty ice.
Hearing Long Ling's words, Kong Bing reacted to his gaffe, and hurriedly let go of Long Ling, his face changed back to normal, and said, "I'm sorry, the teacher just encountered another situation that might be a mutation in ability, and he was a little excited." ”
"Again, has anyone else had this situation with me before, his ability is the same as mine?" Long Ling asked impatiently.
"Your abilities are different, he's still in school, and you've probably heard his name, Ji. Kong Bing said.
"Ji, could it be the second ranked Ji among the six S-rank members of the Academy?" Long Ling guessed.
Kong Bing sighed lightly and said, "That's right, it's him." Originally, when I was a child and awakened my ability, all I had was [Item Copy], and I was able to use magic energy to copy the items I wanted to copy, and if it was too delicate, the copy would fail, and the item would only exist for a certain period of time before disappearing. was originally a relatively ordinary ability, but it was only an E-level ability at the bottom of the star list, maybe being an ordinary person to spend his life in peace and stability was his best choice. But then something happened, and the ability to set changed because of some things, and became the current [replica], able to copy and retain the ability to see, and after entering the Star Crown Academy, he went straight to the second place on the S list, and no one could shake his position. ”
"The teacher seems to be very familiar with the set. Long Ling listened to what Kong Bing said, and he seemed to understand it very well.
Kong Bing's face was complicated and said, "Because, he is my child." ”
This made Long Ling suddenly stunned in place, it turned out that Kong Bing actually had a son, and he was also the second S-level that everyone in the academy knew.
Ji is at least seventeen or eighteen years old now, Kong Bing said before that he was only thirty years old, that is to say, Kong Bing had already given birth to Ji when he was twelve years old!
Long Ling looked at Kong Bing with a strange look in his eyes, and sighed: "It is worthy of being a teacher, he has such a big son at such a young age." ”
Kong Bing was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Long Ling was talking about, and said angrily: "What are you thinking, I'm not married yet, Ji is my adopted son." ”
"Oh, I see," Long Ling smiled embarrassedly and said, "How did you meet?"
"Seven years ago, when I was still eleven years old, I was walking down the street with a blank face, and I happened to be running errands in Star Crown City. It was still snowing, and Ji, dressed in tattered gray linen clothes, wandered barefoot through the icy streets, his dirty hair covering his eyes. I stepped forward to talk, and he looked up into my eyes, and I saw his golden eyes. Ji didn't know anything, didn't know his home, didn't know where he was going, only knew a number, and he took that number as his name, 059. Kong Bing recalled the events of that year, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic in his heart, and raised his head to look at the sky.
"059?" Long Ling muttered.
"Later, I took him as an orphan and brought him home, and Ji was very obedient, and he did whatever I said. But he never took the initiative to talk to me, and usually just sat quietly on the bed alone, or squatted in the corner. Although he is only eleven years old, Ji has awakened his ability, [Item Copy]. He likes to collect things, so I give them
He took a name called Ji. ”
"After half a year of getting along, Ji finally opened up to me and began to call me dad, and I really regarded him as my son. But there was something wrong with his body, and all the organs were gradually failing, and I couldn't reverse the result even after all kinds of methods, and in a few months, Ji would die due to organ failure. Kong Bing gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "Not long after, just when I thought there was no hope, a research team from the academy found me. They said that Ji had run out of their lab and was going to take Ji back. I was reluctant at first, but they knew very well about the situation of the set, and told me that in another month or two, if the set didn't return to the lab, the set would die. I had no choice, and in order to survive, I chose to compromise. ”
"The set was sent back to the lab, and I was allowed to see the set once a month. But in the second month, after Ji appeared, he said to me, 'My name is 059, you and I have nothing to do with each other, and we don't have to see each other again.' 'Ji doesn't want to see me anymore. I don't know why, but after that I would go to the place where I was arranged to meet every month and wait for the set, but the set never showed up again. It wasn't until a few years later, when Ji's name appeared in the registration book, that I learned that Ji had enrolled in Star Crown Academy. But Ji didn't want to see me, and even if we met by chance, he walked away like a stranger. Ji's ability also mutated at some point, and it was precisely because of this that Ji became the second in the S-rank. I was a little excited to discover that your abilities could also mutate, and perhaps to know the situation of the set. ”
After listening to Kong Bing talk about him and Ji, Long Ling understood why Kong Bing was so excited to know if his ability was mutated, maybe just like Ji, he could know the reason for Ji's change. As long as there is the slightest possibility, they want to get back their feelings for themselves.
"I didn't expect the teacher to have such a relationship with him, my ability is born like this, does the teacher have any clues?" Long Ling said after listening.
"I don't see anything now, as you said, your ability hasn't changed, which means that your ability is probably a new ability, and it may be an advanced ability of the [Enchanter]. Of course, I can't be sure, and I need further observation to gradually understand and confirm. Kong Bing said.
"Well," Long Ling replied, looking at the unconscious Butterfly Wufei on the side, remembering the previous situation of Butterfly Wufei and asking, "Teacher, is it possible that Butterfly Wufei's ability has mutated?"
"There is this possibility, although the cases of ability mutation are rare, there are some records in the academy. There are those that have become stronger and those that have become weaker, but without exception, they are all dangerous. Not only to the people around you, but also to the capable themselves. Once the ability is out of control, the life of the capable person is not guaranteed. ”
"Out of control, will the ability still get out of control?" asked Long Ling, who was a little puzzled.
"This may be rare, but for so many years, there have been many cases of ability out of control. Generally, it is caused by the ability person's inability to control their own ability, and the stronger the ability, the greater the chance of counterattack, especially for the ability to mutate. Backlash still occurs mainly in high-level abilities. The ability is not a harmless tool at your disposal, it is a monster that stares at you when you use it, fighting back at you when you can't control it, becoming an emotionless killing machine. Empty Ice explained.
"I've never heard of that before. Long Ling said.
"There is almost no backlash among those with abilities below the Three Tribulations, and how many people with the ability to reach the Three Tribulations are on the mainland, so this knowledge is not popularized. It's natural to feel something after you've reached that level. ”
"Teacher, can you feel it?" Long Ling asked, he had not been able to perceive the strength of the empty ice, and when he found out, both his spiritual power and his level were covered by a faint veil. But judging from Kong Bing's usual shots, it is definitely not low.
"I'm going through, and judging from the current situation, even if I go up to the next level, I can control my ability. Kong Bing said casually.
"Yes, yes, the teacher is the best. Long Ling smiled.
"The question is also finished, after the battle just now, you are also in a bad state, you first cultivate to recover your state. Kong Bing finished asking what he wanted to ask.
Indeed, now that the demonic energy in Long Ling's body is empty, and a sense of weakness is constantly coming out of his body, it is better to hurry up and cultivate to restore the demonic energy. Long Ling nodded, and he entered the cultivation state.
Ability mutation. Yan Wan'er is not in this situation, although the explanation is that she is born with a high-level ability, but it is also a mutation, and it may not be. Alas, with her talent, the last three tribulations must be fine, and she should be told to be more careful in the future, but don't be eaten by her ability.
Before Long Ling entered the cultivation, he couldn't help but think.
Kong Bing looked at Long Ling, who had entered the cultivation state, and didn't know what he was thinking. What Kong Bing didn't elaborate on before was that the previous several people who had been recorded as capable mutations, without exception, were all eaten up by their abilities at the level of transcendent bodies. Kong Bing sighed lightly and slowly closed his eyes.
On the stage, no one on Xiao Su's side dared to challenge, although the fight on Fengzhi's side was fierce, but it was unusually stale, after the fight on Long Ling's side, everyone's eyes naturally converged here. But unfortunately, after another stalemate for a while, Fengzhi still collapsed due to the exhaustion of magical energy. Feng Zhi admits defeat, directly cultivates cross-legged on the spot, and recovers his own state.
"Monster, monster, don't come here!"
"Miss, calm down......"
"Murdered...... Killed ......"
"Ah............h
"Aha, blood, blood, blood......" In a burst of mad laughter, a pair of bloody wings obscured the view.
"I'm not, I'm not a monster, I'm not a monster!" Butterfly sat up violently, her pupils dilated, her eyes full of remorse, and she kept panting.
"Butterfly Dance, what's wrong with you?" said Kongbing's voice from the side.
Butterfly Dance came back to her senses, turned her head and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I had a nightmare. ”
"Nightmare?" said Kong Bing, his eyes fixed on Butterfly Dance, "Can I ask you a few questions?" ”
Butterfly Wufei's body stiffened at first, closed her eyes, took a light breath, and then opened her eyes, she knew that her affairs could not be hidden all the time, and it was best to tell Kong Bing at this time, Butterfly Wufei nodded and said, "Teacher, you ask, I will definitely tell the truth." Seeing that Butterfly Wufei was ready, Kong Bing began to inquire about Butterfly Wufei's respective conditions.
