Chapter 22: Devouring Abilities
In the previous life, about three years after the revival of Reiki, Jinghua Biotechnology, the largest biological group in China, and the "Reiki Research Group" established by various countries in the world, announced a list.
Written on the list is the vast majority of awakened ability talents and level rankings calculated by the Reiki Research Team based on intelligence collection and analysis of the structure and energy of Reiki seeds.
Most of the rankings of the ability talents had begun to take shape two months after the revival of the Reiki, and then circulated among the Mercenary Guild and the major organizations, and the Aura Research Group released a complete version at the time.
Awakened abilities are divided into 10 levels, but instead of 1-10, they are 0-10 for a total of eleven levels.
Among these eleven levels, level 0 has the worst ability, which is basically an increase in physical strength, and even if this awakened person grows up, most of them are also working as coolies.
In Ning Chen's previous life, there was only one level 0 flesh enhancement type awakened person who had cultivated to the A level, and he was Zhao Qiang, the castle master of the "Grizzly Bear Castle", an organization that Ningzhou would establish in the future.
Abilities above level 0 are generally strengthened and buffed outside of the physical body, such as level 1 fire, water droplets, and wind blowing. Level 2 of water, breeze, flames. Level 3 fireballs, icicles, flying feathers and more.
Ning Chen's awakening in his previous life was a level 3 fireball ability, although it was not particularly strong, but with the assistance of firearms, it was still enough for him to break through in a place like the capital.
Most of the level 4 and 5 abilities are similar, and some can awaken the level 5 "summon" ability, which summons their own guardian beast.
And level 6 is a watershed moment for the ability.
Abilities above level 6 generally have a suppressive power for all abilities below level, much like the racial suppression between Tibetan mastiffs and Chihuahuas.
Some of the abilities at level 7 and 8 are even more powerful to the point of being almost earth-shattering, and Ning Chen had seen an S-level God of War level awakened person in his previous life, with the ability to burn the sky, and he could create a sea of fire in the sky with a wave of his hand.
That person is a famous protector general in the entire country, and it is he who has supported the faΓ§ade of the country after the revival of the aura, and is respected by foreigners as the "Emperor Yan".
Li Fenghua's ability is also level 8, named Dragon Wolf Qi, which is a kind of qigong-like ability, every line and movement is like a dragon wolf, but Ning Chen in his previous life has not seen her do it much, just hearsay.
As for the level 9 ability, it seems that there is only one awakened person in the entire Huaguo - that is the CEO of Jinghua Creatures, Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin is not very old, but as the CEO of Jinghua Biology, as a genius doctor with an incomparably keen sense of smell in biology, she was the first in the entire Huaguo in her previous life to discover the correct use of aura seeds and awaken them, and the ability she awakened was the "Zhenshi Ancient Sword" rated at level 9.
Zhao Lin had only used the Zhenshi Ancient Sword once, and Ning Chen was also in the capital at that time, and he was fortunate to see that scene.
Near the capital, nearly 10 million "ancient madmen" poured out of a ruin, each with the strength of a D-level awakener, and these people came towards the siege of the capital, even the S-level "Yan Emperor" could not cope with it.
At that time, Zhao Lin stood on the top of the Forbidden City, summoned a huge ancient sword phantom, and smashed it on the capital, the capital and the people in the city were not harmed, and the tens of millions of madmen outside the city were all wiped out.
Although I heard that Zhao Lin was in a coma for half a year after that, the power of his level 9 ability should not be underestimated.
On top of the level 9 ability, there's a more mysterious level 10 ability.
On the list that was made public, level 10 abilities weren't as bells and whistles as abilities below level 9, and on the contrary, there was only one level 10 ability announced.
That is "devouring".
At that time, the staff of Jinghua Biology, who was in charge of announcing the list, said that the ability of devouring may not exist in this world, but according to their analysis of the composition of the aura seeds, they found that the aura seeds can communicate with each other.
Add and take out the aura seeds in the two mad people, and the two will slowly merge with each other.
Therefore, they suspected that there was likely to be a top-level ability, that is, absorbing the aura seeds in the bodies of other people or mutant beasts to quickly cultivate and improve their strength.
"Devouring...... Is it?"
Ning Chen's thoughts gradually returned to his palms, and he looked at the hands that had just hugged the giant fly, a little incredulous.
Could it be that the first aura seed in his body after his rebirth was not actually without an awakening ability, but an awakening that he had never been aware of?
The aura seed obtained from the ruins, the aura seed that harmed his death in his previous life and made him reborn in this life...... Is it a level 10 ability, Devour?
Thinking of this, Ning Chen suddenly squatted down, stretched out his hand and slapped his palm on the ground.
The palm infused with spiritual energy was fiercely inserted into the soil, and the next moment, a weed beside Ning Chen that had grown to more than half a meter high due to the revival of spiritual energy was directly pulled out by Ning Chen.
A few seconds later, the weeds began to wither, wither, and carbonize in Ning Chen's hands, and finally turned directly into fly ash and disappeared with the wind.
Ning Chen looked inside again, and found that a spiritual energy sapling and an spiritual energy seed in his body had indeed improved slightly.
Although that kind of improvement is so small that it is impossible to detect.
"What the hell is this...... Even if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future?"
Even Ning Chen couldn't help but tremble with excitement now.
Originally, he was reborn with the aura seed, but he already had a faster cultivation progress, and now he has obtained the devouring ability that can absorb the aura seed in the body of other creatures......
Ning Chen felt that if it weren't for the revival of his aura last night, he would have to go to the lottery shop today to buy hundreds of two-color balls.
That's a lot of right!
But after all, he is still a character who has been mixed with the era of aura recovery for ten years, he has suffered everything, and his heart has also been tempered and endured a lot, and he soon suppressed that excitement back to his heart, and returned home as if nothing had happened.
As a result, as soon as he opened the door of his house, Shangguan Yuwei threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes.
"Stinky Ningchen, why did you leave without saying a word......! Scared me to death, you scared me to death!"
Ning Chen was also stunned by her hand, and then touched her head with a smile: "Okay, okay, are you still afraid that I will be eaten by that fly?" You care about me so much, don't you want to divorce me?"
As soon as she heard Ning Chen's ridicule, Shangguan Yuwei immediately jumped away from Ning Chen's arms, and turned her head with red eyes: "Who...... Who's worried about you, I'...... I've never seen that kind of big bug, isn't it normal to be scared!"
"Okay, that thing is very common in the future, you have to get used to it slowly. There should be only that one in this house, and now there is nothing to do, you take a break, and I'll cook. β
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Ning Chen was about to leave again, Shangguan Yuwei suddenly opened her mouth and stopped him.
"Ning Chen, let me ask you, what the hell is going on with all this!"
"What's going on?"
"That's right! Don't try to lie to me and say anything, you don't know, from the time you took me to the mountains to see the changes last night, to the time you faced those hooligans, to the time you met the giant fly just now, you have behaved so calmly, I don't believe you don't know what's going on!
Seeing Shangguan Yuwei's appearance as a little detective, Ning Chen rubbed his forehead: "Did I tell you that I don't know what all this is about?"
Shangguan Yuwei blinked: "It seems to be ...... Is there none...... But why don't you say it!"
"You didn't ask me. Ning Chen's innocent stall hand, "Don't pester me first, I'll cook, and I'll tell you what's going on while eating me in a while." If I want to hide from you, I can just leave you in the middle of the road, and I still need to take you back?"
As soon as he waved his hand, Shangguan Yuwei didn't know what to say, so he could only follow Ning Chen with a blank eye, sitting in the kitchen and waiting for him to cook.
Although last night's mutation cut off the water and electricity, the mineral water that Ning Chen bought before and the gas stove at home were still usable, he made a pot of boiling water, and casually cooked some instant noodles, and brought it hot to Shangguan Yuwei.
Shangguan Yuwei stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, although she was a little hungry, she really didn't have the heart to eat, raised her eyes and looked at Ning Chen, who was eating noodles, and said in a low voice: "Can you tell me now? What happened, and ...... Will I still be able to go home?"
Ning Chen took a sip of noodle soup and moistened his throat, and said, "You can understand the present as the end of the world, or you can understand it as the beginning of a new world. β
"But in the future, there will be a more official name for this era. β
"The era of Reiki revival. β
