He couldn’t feel the energy originally contained in the crystal, and others also knew this surprising situation from the change in the crystal nucleus.\n
“What’s going on? Did you absorb the energy? Do you feel anything? Is there any discomfort?”\n
Several people asked repeatedly. The restless and curious Wang Hehe also reached out and took the crystal nucleus in his palm to see what’s going on. Then, the crystal nucleus that had been smashed, chopped, and burned by Liu Zhan and others without breaking, made a crisp cracking sound—it was completely broken, and almost turned into powder in the blink of an eye. Hou Ying’s expression changed drastically, he grabbed his hand and threw the powder away, shouting, “Liu Zhan! Water!!”\n
Liu Zhan understood, quickly activated his ability, and rinsed the crystal powder on Wang Hehe’s hands with water.\n
Hou Ying angrily said, “You dare to grab anything! What if there’s a zombie virus?!”\n</ins>\n\nWang Hehe said aggrievedly, “I just touched it lightly, no effort
”\n
Hou Ying stared at him, “What I’m talking about is your safety awareness!”\n
Seeing that he has a tendency to educate his nephew at length, Jiang Tao hastened to say, “Zombie virus is transmitted through blood, don’t worry. Brother Hou, tell me what happened just now, how did you absorb the energy? Do you have any strange feelings?”\n
Hou Ying shook his head, “I don’t know, it’s too sudden. And
maybe that energy is very weak, so I don’t feel any change in my ability or body.”\n
Gongsun Jing quickly said, “It’s okay, we still have more, you can try again now! I’ll give you a bigger one.” She took out the second-level red crystal nucleus, gave it to Hou Ying, and solemnly confessed, “Get rid of distracting thoughts and feel with your heart.”\n
Hou Ying nodded heavily.\n
This time he didn’t hold it in his palms tightly, so several people watched as the red crystal nucleus began to change almost when it touched Hou Ying’s skin—the red color began to fade, and the luster gradually dimmed.\n
Maybe because the energy contained in the second-level crystal nucleus is greater, Hou Ying’s absorption speed is much slower than that of the first-level nucleus. All of them can clearly see the disappearance of the red energy in the crystal, it took ten minutes for the last bit of red to disappear.\n
Everyone stared at Hou Ying nervously, but his stiff open palms didn’t move, and his face was dumbfounded, “I
 I didn’t seem to have done anything. It just became like this, as you can see.”\n
They don’t know whether to be surprised or disappointed. Gongsun Jing stares into his eyes and says, “Then, did you think about something just now?”\n</ins>\n\n“I just let my mind go, and I am about to adjust—wait, is it because of the step of empty thinking?”\n
Hou Ying asked suddenly, because of excitement, he subconsciously squeezed his hand. At this moment, the used crystal in the palm of Hou Ying’s hand was suddenly broken, because the force used was much greater than Wang Hehe’s just now, the crystal nucleus was broken more thoroughly and became a sand-like substance, flowing down from the palm of Hou Ying’s hand. At that moment, Hou Ying felt that the absorbed crystal nucleus was like a snakeskin, to be more precise, there was only a thin and transparent brittle film left.\n
No one cared about his feelings. Gongsun Jing immediately took out a first-class red nucleus and gave it to Qiao Daye for him to try.\n
As a sniper who has received special training in emptying his thoughts, Qiao Daye quickly has no distractions, but the red crystal core on his palm has not moved in the past five minutes.\n
Gongsun Jing muttered disappointedly, “Is it the wrong location?” The resolute female military doctor immediately took out the last secondary red crystal nucleus left in the box and told Hou Ying, “Change to your left hand.”\n
Hou Ying wanted to say that he could feel the energy demand in his body had reached saturation, but looking at their ardent eyes, he couldn’t bear to refuse, so he switched to his other hand. Not surprisingly, the same situation happened to Hou Ying.\n
And this time, it’s even more exaggerated. Gongsun Jing grabs the red nucleus, Hou Ying’s palm had only touched the tip of the diamond-shaped crystal nucleus and the absorption process started automatically. Gongsun Jing immediately removed the red crystal nucleus, interrupted the absorption, and touched it again
 This repeated until half an hour later, the red nucleus was absorbed by Hou Ying.\n
Not to mention the onlookers, Hou Ying himself is very surprised as to what he did to trigger the condition of nucleus absorption.\n
But
 Hou Ying frowned, staring at his palm for a long time, and during a heated discussion among several people, he suddenly said, “Qiao Daye, come here.”\n
Qiao Daye didn’t know why, but when Hou Ying grasped his palm, he suddenly widened his eyes.\n</ins>\n\n“Do you feel it?”\n
“It’s like
”\n
“What are you feeling?”\n
“What feeling?!”\n
Hou Ying and several others suddenly stare at Qiao Daye, the bewildered Qiao Daye instinctively says, “The feeling of heart beating?”\n
Gongsun Jing smashed his head angrily, Qiao Daye said blankly, “What I said is true, I think, there is a special temptation for me!”\n
Hou Ying was surprised, “You probably have the same feeling as me. It feels like this is energy. You feel it carefully again and see if there is any way to suck it?”\n
Qiao Daye squeezed Hou Ying’s hand, so painful that he called out. After Gongsun Jing, Qiao Daye’s head was hit by Jiang Tao. He said angrily, “Who made you use the strength of breastfeeding<sup>1</sup> here, empty thoughts! Empty!”\n
“Oh, oh.” Qiao Daye suddenly closed his eyes and repeated the emptying of his thoughts that he had done many times just now. This time, he clearly felt Hou Ying’s abundant energy. Without anyone’s guidance, he instinctively found out where the energy was, and before he gave the order, he had already absorbed the energy into his body. \n
After a minute, he opened his eyes.\n
Several people looked at him expectantly and nervously.\n
Qiao Daye shook Hou Ying’s hand forcefully. When he could feel the energy, but his body had stopped absorbing it, he let go of Hou Ying’s hand and laughed, “I’m full!”\n
Hou Ying was greatly relieved, “Is that little bit enough?”\n
“Just a little bit?”\n
Qiao Daye’s laughter stopped abruptly, staring at Hou Ying in surprise with wide eyes.\n</ins>\n\nHou Ying is also very surprised. In his opinion, Qiao Daye’s hearing ability is superior to him, but he only absorbs less than one-third of the energy stored in the second level red nucleus, and then he reaches saturation.\n
The other people watched them play dumb riddles, and couldn’t help it, so they surrounded them and asked what’s going on. After hearing that Qiao Daye had absorbed the energy from Hou Ying’s body, all of them showed surprise and joy.\n
Qiao Daye said what he felt at this time, “I feel that the energy of my ability in my body is very abundant, just like the empty part of my body has been filled up since I broke through in the fuel factory! I think it should be now that I’ve really broken through to level 2!”\n
When everyone was pleasantly surprised by Qiao Daye’s feelings, Liu Zhan spoke.\n
“You just said
 Can you feel all the energy in these crystal nuclei?”\n
His tone was even cautious, slow, and depressed, not daring himself to hold too much hope. Others, including Hou Ying, were stunned by the speculation hidden in his words. Gongsun Jing screamed and immediately opened the iron box and grabbed the largest transparent crystal core and stuffed it into Hou Ying’s hand! Several people immediately stared at the crystal nucleus—\n
But it is not disappointing or anything. After waiting for three seconds, the nucleus didn’t change at all.\n
When they suspected that they were whimsical, Hou Ying, who had already felt the energy on the crystal nucleus but could not absorb it, said, “Gongsun, give me a level one.”\n
Gongsun Jing listened and moved, immediately changing it to a transparent crystal nucleus. This time, a miracle happened to Hou Ying!\n
“It’s gone!”\n</ins>\n\n“It’s absorbed!”\n
Everyone shouted in surprise. Hou Ying endured his excitement, “It’s not yet enough now, let me try again.”\n
Gongsun Jing directly put the iron box in his hand. Hou Ying absorbed 20 first-level crystal nuclei in a row to feel the saturation level he had felt before. He absorbed another five and found that his body could still bear it, and it was far from the upper limit.\n
In order to test whether there is the same transmission effect on Qiao Daye, who has the same attribute of ability as him, Hou Ying reaches out his hand and pulls Li Xuanyuan’s hand—although not the closest five-element ability to him, but
 ahem, yes. It can be understood that they are familiar with each other for the past few days so Hou Ying subconsciously preferred Li Xuanyuan as the beneficiary.\n
He felt a little embarrassed. He was relieved after seeing that Jiang Tao and the others with five-element abilities were not dissatisfied with his choice.\n
Li Xuanyuan was startled, and in everyone’s urging eyes, he began to empty his mind, and soon felt the “the feeling of heartbeat” Qiao Daye said!\n
He gets excited. Hou Ying can feel more aggressive absorption than Qiao Daye’s careful exploration just now, and as expected, the energy of the five elements in his body was quickly absorbed by Li Xuanyuan. Although Li Xuanyuan’s speed is slower than Qiao Daye’s, to Hou Ying’s surprise, his stored energy is still being absorbed after its reduced saturation level in his body, and the speed of being pumped out was getting stronger and faster!\n
He was surprised, but after making sure he didn’t feel ill, he calmed down.\n
One minute and thirty seconds later, Li Xuanyuan opened his eyes and spoke dully, “
no more.”\n
He felt very comfortable when he absorbed the power. His brain was dull, but it was just a flash of effort. He immediately recovered his usual expression and looked at Hou Ying and said apologetically, “Are you okay?” He forgot about it and actually emptied the energy of the five elements in Hou Ying’s body.\n
Hou Ying said with a smile that he was OK and asked if he felt the breakthrough point. Li Xuanyuan shook his head, “It’s much worse.”\n
“In my opinion, this shows that your powers have reached level 2 and the energy stored in Level 1 crystal core isn’t enough to satisfy you.”\n
Hou Ying said firmly.\n
From the iron box, he picked up a level 2 transparent crystal nucleus, which was only twice the size of the level 1 crystal nucleus, and sighed, “I just had the feeling that the energy of a level 1 nucleus may be less than 1% of that of a level 2 nucleus. And
 how to say it, it seems that the energy texture of the second-order<sup>2</sup> crystal nucleus is purer. Unfortunately, I have no way to upgrade and absorb it now.”\n
He apologized to Li Xuanyuan with a smile, but the latter’s pupils shrank!\n</ins>\n\nHou Ying could forget that they were still holding hands together, Li Xuanyuan took a deep breath. In astonishment, he lost control of the language logic and said, “
I can feel that now, through you.”\n\n
