Chapter 2146: Special Abilities Don’t Require Metallization

The smiles vanished from the crowd, some people’s faces turned sullen, and some had anger in their eyes...

"What does this mean, are they playing us for fools?"

"Did we come all this way just to become athletes?"

"Everyone, calm down!" Jin Hancheng shouted, "I believe the Chief Instructor has her reasons for doing this."

"Reasons? What reasons? Why not explain clearly?"

"Exactly! If there’s a legitimate reason, why not spell it out!"

"She’s clearly not teaching us properly on purpose!"

"Is she afraid that once we learn the skills, we’ll return to H Country and surpass—"

"Shut up!" Jin Hancheng slammed the table, "Do you even know the time we’re in, and you dare have such thoughts? If Hua Country had selfish motives, they wouldn’t have let us come at all!"

The crowd quieted down, staring at the now fragmented table in a daze.

Someone weakly spoke, "Quartz, right?"

"Is this... fake quartz?"

"It’s real."

"So Brother Cheng’s strength... has improved?"

Jin Hancheng was a Strength Ability User, his strength was indeed great normally, but to achieve such a result, metalization was necessary.

"I... haven’t metalized."

"Eh? Really not." One person bravely went up and touched Jin Hancheng’s arm.

"Really not?"

A group of people gathered around.

Jin Hancheng’s arm was touched by the crowd.

Jin Hancheng: "...Enough already?"

"Hehe, muscular!"

Jin Hancheng kicked out, "Get out!"

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Once calm, the group exchanged glances, and began discussing in low voices.

"I feel... this might be related to our physical training."

"I also have this sneaking suspicion."

"Could it be we’ve really misunderstood the Chief Instructor?"

"But why doesn’t she make it clear?"

"Could it be she’s afraid the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?"

"That’s possible too, maybe it’s the Chief Instructor’s good intentions?"

"Now that you put it that way, why do I feel a bit like a thankless wretch?"

"Wait, maybe it’s just a coincidence?"

"Let’s try too? See if our abilities have really improved."

Sometimes, minor improvements are hard to notice without actual practice, until Jin Hancheng used his strength and realized he could smash through quartz.

Someone stepped forward, "I’m a Strength Series, pardon my humble skill."

He began lifting weights.

"So light, add more!"

"Add more!"

"No challenge at all!"

The crowd watched as this brother kept adding weight frantically, his face remained cool and collected, with seemingly no difficulty at all.

"Let me try!" Another person came up and directly took the barbell from him.

"My strength has increased too!"

"Let me!"

"I’ll try too!"...

The Strength Series members all jumped in, exclaiming each time as their strength increased.

Among them were those like Jin Hancheng, who needed to mutate to exert such strength, but this time, without changing, they could demonstrate great strength as well.

"Maybe it’s only the Strength Series..." someone nitpicked.

"Then you try, what’s your series?"

"I’m from the Fire Series."

"Try your fire ability, see if there’s any change."

"How? Should I set this room on fire?"

Jin Hancheng kicked him, "Get out! This is my dorm! If you’re going to burn, burn your dorm!"

Someone suggested, "Let’s go to the open ground, and arrange for a few Water Ability Users to stand by, ready to extinguish any blaze."

"That sounds like a plan."

The group marched to the open ground.

Meanwhile, there were people standing behind several windows watching; they were members of the Special Department.
