Meng Hanghaiâs ability is mysterious and rare. Their greatest knowledge of this is his destructive power.\n
The word terrible is no longer enough to describe it.\n
Hou Ying embraced Meng Hanghai and saw him looking at himself nervously with fawn-like eyes. He raised his hand and drew a watermelon-sized circle on the ground, and then asked Qiao Daye to get it. The latter didnât know his intentions, just squatted down and stretched out his hands to dig, but he didnât expect that the soil in fingers suddenly turned into quicksand-like powder as soon as he touched the circle! Qiao Daye was startled and instinctively jumped away, then he realized that it was just a false alarm and jumped back.\n
Heâs so fast that he retreated in a flash, but they all knew that he got scared by the changes in the land just now.\n
The team gathered around, only to find that the place just now became a pit half the size of a watermelon. Grabbing the fine sandy soil at the bottom of the pit, if they hadnât seen it with their own eyes, they wouldnât believe that it was soil. It was just too pulverized and looked like gravel. Even Meng Hanghai was dumbfounded.\n</ins>\n\nAlthough Hou Ying had expected it, he was still surprised. He said, âIf Iâm not mistaken, the childâs ability is space attack.â\n
âSpace attack? What do you mean?â\n
Everyone looked confused.jpg.\n
Hou Ying deliberated his wording and explained, âWhen we watch 3D movies, we all know the concept of space dimension, right? Three-dimensional is solid, and full-dimensional is the real space in which we live. Itâs 360-degree comprehensive.<sup>1</sup> Xiaohaiâs ability is to destroy dimensions⊠Letâs put it this way.â The explanation was too abstract. He picked up a stone from the ground. âNow this stone occupies a certain space. It is a whole, but at the same time, the particles that make it up exist independently in this space. Itâs just that itâs limited to the surface of the stone. In short, Xiaohaiâs ability is to deliberately destroy these spaces at will. You can say cutting, but what he destroys is not the stone itself, but more like a separation, dispersing them from the original space to other spatial dimensions.â\n
âLike this.â\n
He said, holding Meng Hanghai, they saw that the stone in his palm instantly turned into powder.\n
âThe stone is actually still there, itâs just separated.â\n
Everyone: ââŠâ\n
Still confused, but weâre impressed.<sup>2</sup>\n
Hou Ying also found that his ability to explain is limited, so he simply said, âAnyway, everything that exists in this world, as long as the entity occupies a certain amount of space, whether itâs invisible to the naked eye or not, even the air and the sea can be cut.â\n</ins>\n\nâItâs awesome!â\n
âReally?!â\n
Ji Yao and Meng Hanghai themselves were shocked.\n
Hou Ying smiled and said, âAnd⊠Do you think Xiaohai is powerful now?â\n
This is a fact. If he really wants to work hard, maybe even Li Xuanyuan may not be Meng Hanghaiâs opponent. After all, space cutting or something is too overbearing, itâs a foul!\n
âXiaohaiâs ability is now level 1 low-level.â\n
Hou Ying said.\n
Everyone: â?!!!â\n
wtf! Are you kidding?! Dongfang Bai pointed to the sandpit and stammered, âThis, this is only a level 1 low-level?!â\n
Hou Ying shook his head and replied, âThis should be considered a level 2 ability. I donât know why, but I can utilize it to level 4⊠I can use all your abilities at level 4.â\n</ins>\n\nHe said as he grabbed Jiang Tao, then a blue flame suddenly appeared in his free right hand, just like the level 4 zombie at the beginning.\n
Everyone has no idea how to react anymore. Itâs Li Xuanyuan whoâs the calmest and composed who said, âYou just said that thereâs a way to deal with the twin banyan trees by relying on Xiaohaiâs ability?â\n
âYes.â Hou Ying answered, âNo matter how the twin banyan trees are against the sky<sup>3</sup>, it wonât move or run. As long as we strip away the soil from its roots, weâre not afraid that it wonât surrender its wood crystal obediently.â\n
Li Xuanyuan frowned, âWhat if it takes root fast enough?â\n
It canât learn from the Foolish Old Man who removes the mountain<sup>4</sup>, and suddenly eliminate all of this mountain, right? Hou Ying also considered this issue, âIâve thought about it. The five elements grow and conquer each other. Metal restrains wood. If thereâs too much metal in it suddenly, it canât survive even if it takes root. When I make a hole to isolate the soil, Dongfang and Brother Tao will use metal and bullets to attack its roots and force it back. Xuanyuan, you go talk to it again. As long as itâs willing to hand over its wood crystal, we will let it go. Of course, the premise of this approach is that the twin banyan treeâs roots donât have the absorbing and rebounding ability. Otherwise, it will only depend on whoâs faster between me and it.â \n
In his heart, heâs certain that the twin banyanâs roots didnât have those abilities. Not to mention that the vital part of a plant is its root, which is equivalent to its head. The trunk and leaves of the twin banyan tree can absorb and rebound the abilities, but it has no lethality, so itâs also very possible that the root system isnât lethal.\n
Everyone looked at each other, and Dongfang Bai couldnât help saying, âBrother Hou, can this thing really understand humans?â\n
Hou Ying chuckles, âUnderstand a shit. Do you understand the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding harm? It depends on who can beat who!â\n
Li Xuanyuan also thought that this method was feasible, but heâs still worried, âHow long can the nuclei energy last while using Xiaohaiâs ability?â\n
Hou Ying said, âI have a guess, but Iâm still not sure. However, I can feel that I can not only exert the space attackâs power to level 4 but also have plenty of ability energy. Itâs as if⊠the crystal nucleus energy I absorbed can be used in general, which may be why I can use your abilities to level 4.â\n
No one can understand the reason, but as long as Hou Ying doesnât use up all his energy.\n
Li Xuanyuan said, âYou should do what you can. If it doesnât work, weâll give up.â\n
He doesnât have such a heavy sense of gain and loss. Even if the twin banyan treesâ wood crystal is the most powerful one he had seen in his life, he may not be able to meet one again in the second half of his life, but he said that to give up is really to give up without any hesitation.\n
Hou Ying was startled, concealing the complexity and uncontrollable heartbeat in his eyes.\n
Compared with Li Xuanyuanâs uncompromising purity of telling things to people, his utilitarianism is really too heavy. At that moment, he not only felt ashamed but also felt that he was not worthy of the other party.\n</ins>\n\nAfter a fierce battle just now, itâs already 6 p.m. Although there are also changes in the vegetation layer on the hills and peaks, and the tall trees here arenât as dense as those at the foot of the mountain, the light is still not good, so everyone is holding back their eager mood and adjusted in situ. Just now, theyâre so flustered. The food in their knapsacks was all abandoned in the territory of twin banyan trees, so they could only eat whatever they could find nearby.\n
Fortunately, there are Jiang Taoâs fire ability and Gongsun Jingâs water ability. Otherwise, even if they catch pheasants, they wonât be able to eat them.\n
After a full meal, Ji Yao and Jiang Tao, who donât need to be the main force to fight tomorrow, will be responsible for the vigil. In the middle of the night, while itâs Ji Yaoâs turn to guard, he called Hou Ying and looked at the people resting around the fire. After thinking about it, he kicked Qiao Daye and asked him to help watch for a while. He needs to quietly talk to Hou Ying, such a place couldnât escape Qiao Dayeâs ears anyway, so he simply let him guard for a while.\n
âWhatâs the matter, Yaoji?â\n
Hou Ying thought itâs something inconvenient for him to say during the day.\n
Ji Yao looked at him worriedly, âHouzi<sup>5</sup>, are you okay?â\n
âMe?â Hou Ying was stunned and then smiled, âIâm fine. Why do you ask?â\n
âWhy your ass!<sup>6</sup>â Ji Yao suppressed his voice and snarled at him, âDonât pretend to me. Weâve known each other for years, can I not know what you are like? Did you forget that Xiaohe was angry with you back then? Youâre overbearing and authoritarian, you just donât usually show it, but you have to worry about the things you really care about, and you wonât let them out of your control. Especially, do this kind of thing for them!â\n
How could Hou Ying not know what he meant when Ji Yao spoke so clearly?\n
He remembered the incident when Wang Hehe was angry with himself because he had never been so angry with him.\n</ins>\n\nThatâs when Wang Hehe went to college, freshman year. Wang Hehe liked a senior sister. Heâs a skipper. He was only 16 years old when he went to college. His senior was already a graduate student, ten years older than him! Hou Ying believes that his opposition is reasonable. No parent will watch their children make a fool of major life events. And his way of cutting off this relationship is very straightforward, commonly known as the beauty trick.\n
Thatâs right, he went out in person and only met her three times. The senior sister who had the plot of sister-and-brotherly love could not extricate herself from him and confess to him in front of Wang Hehe.\n
The result can be imagined.\n
Wang Hehe is smart, and Hou Ying didnât hide his actions. Instead, after rejecting his senior, he confessed his action to Wang Hehe, so as to advise him. But Wang Hehe couldnât understand him, and even said that he hated him. He ran away from homeâhe lived in the university dormitory, did not go home for two months, and refused all contact with Hou Ying.\n
Hou Ying was devastated, feeling that he had raised a white-eyed wolf<sup>7</sup> and turned against him for an outsider.\n
However, Hou Ying did not learn psychology in vain. He knew that if heâs also controlled by his emotions, things would only get worse. Therefore, he went to consult his psychology tutor. As a result, after the other party knew the whole story, he said that there was a problem with his mentality.\n
At that time, Hou Ying realized the flaws in his character for the first time.\n
Wang Hehe finally came back because Ji Yao told him that Hou Ying couldnât stand the shock and went to receive psychotherapy. This almost scared Wang Hehe out of his mind. He didnât say anything, just packed his things, and went home. He still has that look of heartlessness that makes people see the bottom at a glance.<sup>8</sup> Since then, he has never rebelled.\n
Therefore, it is not that Wang Hehe didnât have that Secondary Two<sup>9</sup> rebellious period, but was strangled in the cradle by Hou Yingâs âmaking a mountain out of a molehillâ.\n\n
