Chapter 462: Second Awakening

Chapter 462: Chapter 458: Second Awakening

With the goofball Tai Xian watching her sister, Xie Ning could finally focus on her own work.

She extended her spiritual power into her Space, using her Space Ability to continue organizing the things piled up on the terrace.

At this point, the terrace was practically a… well, a general store for junk.

After Xie Ning received items, she’d often just toss them onto the terrace without a second glance.

She silently took another sip of Energy Water and tidied up some of the unused items on the terrace.

Besides these supplies, the most conspicuous things on the terrace were the countless Energy Balls hovering in the air.

These Energy Balls floated next to several Water Balls created by her mother.

In addition, there was the massive, two-ton Water Ball from the tap, of which only a third had been used.

Ever since her mother’s Water Ability had advanced, her supply of superpower water was practically endless, leaving no need for Xie Ning to provide any water herself.

Besides, her mom could now control the temperature of her superpower water at will—hot, scalding, cool, or icy were all possible. So…

…there was absolutely no use for Ningning’s tap water anymore.

“Oh, right, Shijun, does the cut on your hand need to be bandaged?” He Shuping suddenly asked.

Song Shijun didn’t even want to bother responding to his mother.

‘Am I their adopted son?’

‘It took her this long to remember the cut on my hand. If it had been more serious, I would have bled out and died by now…’

But He Shuping was struck by a wave of motherly concern. She squeezed past Song Youyi and grabbed her son’s hand to inspect it. “Junjun, hey? Where’s the wound on your hand?”

Song Shijun gave his mother a mysterious smile and quickly pulled his hand back. “Mom, I’m training my superpower. Don’t distract me. The moment I can’t keep up with my sister, you guys will start complaining I’m useless again.”

“That’s not it, son. I remember… that little cat scratched a cut on your hand, didn’t it?”

“The wound is gone already?” He Shuping exclaimed in surprise, grabbing her son’s hand to check it over and over. “Whoa, the recovery ability of you Superpower Users is so strong!”

The couple, He Shuping and Song Youyi, had never awakened any superpowers since the apocalypse began. All they could do was watch in envy.

Besides, according to the data charts released by the government, the younger a person was, the higher their chances of awakening a superpower.

For those who still hadn’t awakened a superpower a year into the apocalypse, the probability dropped to almost nothing.

He Shuping’s words drew a crowd.

Zhu Yong squeezed through to look at Song Shijun’s hand, clicking his tongue in amazement. “It’s true! Junjun, since when did you have such a strong recovery ability?”

“Your Wind System has this kind of effect too?”

“That’s amazing.”

Song Shijun rolled his eyes. “Amazing? What’s so amazing? This wasn’t my doing.”

A head poked out from behind Xie Ning’s seat, glancing at Song Shijun, then turning to look at Su Xiyue, who was covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.

Xie Ning’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Yueyue, did you awaken another ability?”

“Huh?” Hearing this, everyone immediately turned to look at Su Xiyue, who was sitting by the window.

Su Xiyue felt a bit shy under everyone’s gaze. She stuck out her tongue and said softly, “I… I don’t know if this counts or not.”

A glimmer of green light emerged from between the young girl’s fingers and slowly coiled around her wrist.

“It just suddenly happened a few days ago. I can grow leaves and even flowers from my hand.” Su Xiyue’s face was slightly red as she looked at everyone. “It’s not very impressive. It doesn’t look like I can use it to fight, and I can’t make fruit to eat like, like Brother Lu Wei.”

“Anyway, I feel like it’s pretty useless.”

“But… a while ago, I was holding Yu Xiaofei’s hand and I got this strange feeling.”

Everyone held their breath and listened to her continue, no one daring to interrupt.

“It was this leaf… it, oh, I can’t explain it well. It’s like, the light inside the leaf could travel down Yu Xiaofei’s hand.”

“I could see where classmate Yu Xiaofei’s body was deficient, and then I controlled the leaf to repair that deficiency.” Su Xiyue scratched her head. “Do you know what I mean?”

“After the repair, I found that classmate Yu Xiaofei’s condition would improve a little. That’s, that’s what happened.”

Everyone stared at her in shock.

Song Youxuan in particular was staring at her daughter, at a complete loss for words.

Song Shijun pouted from the side. “The genes in our family just make the girls especially strong.”

“Yueyue, this is a Wood Element… variation. A Wood Element variation into the Healing System!” Xie Ning thought for a moment, then patted her little sister’s head with a delighted expression.

“When did you discover this? Why didn’t you say anything, you silly girl?” Song Youxuan was both surprised and overjoyed.

Her daughter had previously awakened a superpower that let her talk to small animals, and she had been a bit down about it.

She’d said it couldn’t help the family at all.

But now, this was great. Her daughter would surely be happy.

“Yueyue, try it out.” Xie Ning held out her wrist with a curious look on her face.

Su Xiyue happily urged the little leaf on her hand to extend over. Green light instantly enveloped Xie Ning’s hand.

Xie Ning immediately felt a cool sensation quickly seep into her skin, which was very comfortable.

“Wow, Yueyue, you’re incredible!” Xie Ning exclaimed.

“Wow, Big Sis, your body has no deficiencies at all! My Xiao Ye is super happy.”

Watching the two “sisters” lock eyes comically and shower each other with a string of over-the-top compliments, the others found the scene rather amusing.

“Yueyue, this superpower of yours is so useful for our team!” Xie Ning was ecstatic.

“It’s a Wood Element variation with healing abilities.” Xie Ning vigorously ruffled her little sister’s hair. “Incredible, just incredible. This is a one-in-ten-thousand Wood Element variation.”

Hearing the words “one in ten thousand,” Song Youxuan’s eyes curved into smiling crescents.

“Will I be able to grow fruits and vegetables like Brother Lu Wei in the future?” Su Xiyue asked with a shy smile.

She just wanted to grow lots and lots of delicious food for her family. That would make her even happier.

“You can,” Xie Ning nodded emphatically. “The only reason you feel like you can’t grow fruit now is because you’ve only just awakened this power.”

“This is just the beginning. With practice, the Wood Element can also become a useful Attack System superpower.”

“Besides, the Wood Element can be used for both offense and defense. Look how amazing your Brother Lu Wei is.”

“Mhm, mhm, mhm!” The little girl clenched her fist. “I want to become as amazing as Brother Lu Wei.”

“Yueyue, and you come with a built-in healing ability! That’s just too amazing!” Xie Ning reached out and hugged her little sister, cheering. She was genuinely happy for her.

With a Wood Element ability, her little sister would have no problem protecting herself, first and foremost.

The next step was to figure out how to slowly nurture this Wood Element Healing Ability of hers.

It finally dawned on Song Youyi, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “So it was you who healed the cut on Shi Jun’s hand, Yueyue.”

Su Xiyue blushed a little from the praise. “I asked my brother not to say anything yet. I didn’t expect you all to find out so quickly.”

“This is a good thing, why not tell us?”

Su Xiyue said sheepishly, “It’s just… it’s still too weak.”
