"Hmm?"
"This state doesn't seem to last very long, about five minutes or so."
Su Qi's eyes suddenly narrowed, sensing a kind of fatigue, not physical, but a spiritual fatigue from within himself.
It seems that the enhancement of Spiritual Power is particularly important.
While there's still some time left.
Su Qi pressed his forehead with both hands, directly releasing Slow Healing.
He wanted to test how far this ability could be enhanced under the God's Favored One state.
Buzz——
A gentle hum.
An extreme golden glow rose from his body, washing over his limbs, as if he were in a Divine Furnace, containing endless energy.
Dazzling to the extreme, like a sun fallen onto the earth!
At the same time.
There was also an almost undetectable wave spreading outward with him as the center.
Su Qi gazed along this wave in a daze, his eyes piercing through the mist of time and space, breaking through all obstacles.
He seemed to 'see' his sleeping parents, their breathing seemed to become longer, the wrinkles on their faces fading significantly, their overall complexion visibly improving.
In the next room, his sister, unbeknownst to what dream she had, had her originally furrowed brows smoothed by this wave, her sleep becoming sweet and serene once more.
However.
This wave was still spreading, seemingly covering the entire Ninth District.
At this moment.
Su Qi 'saw' many people.
Some people's white hair was rejuvenated, some people's wounds from fighting Fierce Beasts were healing rapidly, and some people's critically ill bodies were rid of their stubborn ailments...
Su Qi was utterly shocked.
In the God's Favored One state, the Slow Healing he performed was too abnormal!
This is still Slow Healing? Even calling it Heavenly Immortal Dew wouldn't be an exaggeration!
It directly affects the life level of others.
Furthermore, as he was now in that high-dimensional perspective, his understanding of the Slow Healing ability was rapidly improving.
On the panel.
The proficiency level of Slow Healing was also jumping wildly.
It directly rose from LV1 to LV7 (36/700).
Mere activation of the ability instantly skyrocketed his control level.
If this happens a few more times...
Su Qi couldn't help but swallow, then eagerly looked at the pitiful level 0 proficiency of Holy Light Guardian.
The Heavenly Dao doesn't care for me, but the Arad Continent favors me!
...
"What is this?"
"The dark injuries in my body seem to be..."
"A miracle!?"
The Transcendents of the Ninth District are especially sensitive to various energies.
Some powerful figures even sensed it before the wave reached, but the wave came too fast and left just as quickly.
They didn't have time to react.
It was only after feeling baptized and noticing changes in themselves that they belatedly realized.
For a time, discussions were rampant, and extremely powerful auras burst into the sky from various parts of the Ninth District.
Seemingly exploring the origin of the wave.
Zone 9 High School, Heroes Academy.
Lived a group of frail and decayed Transcendents, all around forty or fifty years old, withered and scruffy.
Once upon a time, they were brilliant powerhouses.
Following Principal Pei Jing, they were heroes who defended the Ninth District against the beast tide!
However.
In the past, due to scarce resources, they had to excessively consume Fierce Beast meat to squeeze out the last drop of combat power, accumulating too many polluted traits in their bodies.
You see.
Early during the great catastrophe, when the Fierce Beasts invaded, the human social order collapsed, productivity drastically fell, and humans began hunting and consuming Fierce Beasts to replenish nutrients.
But many Fierce Beast meats were not consumable, and after research, it was found that Fierce Beasts contained large amounts of polluted traits, which would irreparably damage body functions with prolonged consumption.
Later, as exploration continued, they discovered that the closer to the Crystal Core, the less polluted the meat.
Humans classified beast meat into five grades based on edibility, with Low Grade Beast Meat as the minimum standard for consumption, prohibiting anything below this grade.
But during the beast tide, these Transcendents didn't even know if they could survive the day, let alone care about pollution traits.
After the beast tide subsided, the brutal aftermath gradually emerged.
Once there were over three hundred comrades, now there are fewer than a hundred.
Naturally.
If they don't use the energy within them, allowing the pollution traits to erode, they can still survive.
But by then, they would have become Non-human Aliens, completely losing reason.
It would bring instability and disaster to the Ninth District.
For this group of heroes who once protected the Ninth District, that's something they would rather die than do.
Thus.
They would all choose to sever their life at the last moment when they couldn't hold on.
Now.
Principal Pei Jing, City Lord Lin Nan, Security Bureau Chen Zhen, Military Department Qiu Ran, and Extraordinary Guild President Xia Shengxuan all gathered here.
Because an old friend felt he couldn't hold on any longer...
"Why the long faces, can't you give an old friend a proper send-off?"
"Qiu Ran, I remember you once said, if I dared to die before you, you would dare to dance on my grave."
"Why not dance now, or have you held power for too long and can't put on a brave face?"
In a wheelchair.
A man draped in a black blanket, on the verge of death, weakly joked.
Beneath the blanket, at the elbow of his ghastly right arm, terrifying bony spurs protruded.
Qiu Ran's eyes reddened, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, biting his lip hard, not daring to respond.
He feared that once he spoke.
Tears would flood forth.
Thinking of his current high status, while his good brother was reduced to skin and bones in his prime.
He felt a piercing pain!
As if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart, he was on the verge of collapse.
However.
Just as the five were engulfed in sorrowful thoughts.
Suddenly, they sensed an unknown wave coming.
Qiu Ran's tiger-like eyes snapped open, never expecting there would be something so reckless as to disturb his old friend's final moments.
The endless pain in his heart instantly turned into boundless rage.
The next moment.
His figure appeared outside the courtyard, suspended in mid-air.
"Which blind fool dares to ask for skinning and dismembering today!"
A roar resounded like thunder across the sky.
Simultaneously.
Pei Jing and the other four followed, appearing beside Qiu Ran, staring intently in the direction from which the wave came.
At this moment, their eyes were full of fury, thoughts of killing flashing in their minds.
Five Apostle-level auras shot straight into the sky.
Solemnly guarding this courtyard.
The next second.
They were shocked to sense that the vast wave, like a tide, swept over.
It actually passed right through their bodies without the slightest pause, extending past them.
Their eyes widened in an instant.
Worried that their old friend wouldn't withstand the mysterious wave, unable to hold on to that final breath.
They rushed back desperately.
Stunned on the spot.
Because what they saw before them was their old friend, with a rosy complexion.
