Chapter 18: Dong Junweis Awakening

Chen Mu had no objections to Dong Junwei’s proposal. In any case, the extra self-defense talents every particular person had, the safer the crew could be.

Although the precise affect of this enhance won’t be vital, not less than it meant the crew would not be a legal responsibility throughout essential moments.

Moreover, on this setting, survival was all about struggling by way of tiny alternatives. Giving 99% effort to achieve a 1% likelihood of survival was nonetheless value it.

Contemplating that Tang Jing won’t have as a lot energy, Chen Mu divided his weapon into two and made an iron rod for her.

He did not dare give her a bladed weapon, fearing she would possibly by accident reduce herself whereas swinging it.

Tang Jing shook the iron rod in her hand and requested, “Do I goal for his or her heads?”

Maybe noticing the scattered rice on the bottom, a number of rice weevils stealthily crawled out.

Chen Mu replied, “Hit them across the mouth space; that is the softest spot.”

Rice weevils did not have a correct mouth; their entrance finish was a protracted and skinny proboscis-like construction.

“Okay,” Tang Jing mentioned and stepped ahead first.

Wei Dalei was nervous about any surprising conditions and adopted carefully together with his wolf-toothed membership, guarding on the aspect.

The method of the struggle was truly considerably comical.

Though Tang Jing was sensible, she clearly had no expertise in combating. Gripping the iron rod, she suppressed her discomfort and tried to smash down vertically on one of many rice weevils.

Nevertheless, the primary strike missed the rice weevil fully, making a loud bang because it hit the bottom. The weevil acquired startled and ran away.

Tang Jing was unwilling to surrender and chased after it, delivering a second strike.

Although this time the hit landed, it solely struck the weevil’s again.

These small beetles had extraordinarily powerful shells.

Tang Jing swung the rod on the rice weevils, however it barely did any injury. Nevertheless, the attacked weevils hastened their escape.

Seeing that she could not meet up with them, Tang Jing switched to a different weevil.

However irrespective of what number of strikes she made, they both missed or simply tickled the weevils, posing no actual risk.

Out of breath, she returned and shook her head, “I can not do it.”

Chen Mu could not assist however discover her failure amusing.

“Subsequent, I am going to attempt,” Zhao Xiaoyan stepped up because the second contender.

For security causes, Dong Junwei solely allowed one particular person to take motion at a time.

Wei Dalei’s expression turned critical, holding the wolf-toothed membership nearer.

Nevertheless, Zhao Xiaoyan’s “accomplishments” had been even worse than Tang Jing’s. All through the entire time, she solely hit the bottom, by no means touching a weevil.

“It is okay, everybody simply wants time to get used to it. You will not develop into consultants abruptly,” Dong Junwei smiled.

What is going on on?!

“Da Lei, you attempt it,” Chen Mu mentioned.

Everybody gathered round, and Chen Mu defined a bit, arousing their curiosity.

Wei Dalei reached out to take the iron rod, however like Chen Mu, he shortly pulled again his hand because of the burning warmth.

Nearly everybody tried, however none may contact it.

The iron rod was scalding sizzling.

However Dong Junwei appeared unaffected.

“Perhaps that is the Class President’s capability?” Tang Jing blew on her hand and instantly steered.

“May I… have woke up a capability too?” Dong Junwei half-worriedly and half-excitedly requested.

“Apart from that, there appears to be no different rationalization.”

“However what capability is it? Aren’t you afraid of getting burned?” somebody puzzled.

“Perhaps it is… altering the article’s temperature?” Chen Mu proposed.

Tang Jing added, “It is attainable, however not sure. Chen Mu, give the opposite piece to Dong Junwei. Uh… let’s swap for an additional iron piece.”

Chen Mu nodded and turned the opposite half of the weapon into an oblong iron block, handing it to Dong Junwei.

Dong Junwei took it, feeling a bit puzzled. “What do I do now?”

“Press your palms tightly in opposition to it, focus your thoughts… I do not know tips on how to describe it precisely. Simply attempt to really feel it your self,” Chen Mu supplied a not-so-professional suggestion primarily based on his personal capability.

Activating talents was certainly a course of that was laborious to place into phrases; it was purely a sense.

However quickly, Dong Junwei exclaimed with delight, “I really feel one thing.”

“What?” Everybody was shocked.

“It is like there’s warmth being transferred to this piece of iron from my palms,” Dong Junwei mentioned whereas concentrating much more.

“The Class President most likely woke up her capability after being extremely targeted through the earlier battle,” Tang Jing speculated.

Chen Mu recalled Dong Junwei’s critical and nervous expression when she held the iron rod and nodded in settlement.

Nevertheless, throughout their energetic dialogue, one thing extraordinary occurred.

Threads of blue smoke started to rise from the iron block in Dong Junwei’s palms.

Evidently, the temperature rise surpassed what the iron rod had proven earlier.

And Dong Junwei herself remained fully unaware.

“Holy crap!” Everybody was astonished.
