In the next moment, Yang Yuan felt an invisible magnetic field rising, though he couldn't see anything. He could only tell that Zhao Jiayan was uncomfortable from her suddenly furrowed brows.
Soon, sweat was streaming down Zhao Jiayan's face, and her delicate body was trembling slightly.
Jiang Yiyi instinctively grabbed onto Yang Yuan's mechanical arm.
"It's okay, your sister Jiayan will definitely endure it," Yang Yuan comforted.
Time passed bit by bit.
About ten minutes later, a flash of white light suddenly passed over Zhao Jiayan's body.
The invisible magnetic field on the altar suddenly dissipated, and she opened her eyes suddenly, revealing an expression of ecstatic joy.
"How was it?" Yang Yuan hurriedly asked.
"Sister Jiayan..." Jiang Yiyi also asked anxiously.
Zhao Jiayan thanked the staff, then walked down the altar, pulling Jiang Yiyi, and said to Yang Yuan, "We'll talk outside."
"Okay."
The three left the Awakening Room.
After walking more than a hundred meters, Zhao Jiayan whispered, "Can you open that... Power Armor? Let me take a look at your wound."
Yang Yuan was puzzled, but he still opened the Power Armor, revealing half of his body.
Zhao Jiayan did not shy away, directly lifting Yang Yuan's clothes, placing her somewhat rough palm on Yang Yuan's wound, releasing white light.
"You... hmm?" Yang Yuan was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that the wound on his waist was healing rapidly.
In less than ten seconds, the terrifying scabs fell off, revealing tender flesh underneath, white with a hint of red.
Zhao Jiayan gently helped Yang Yuan put down his clothes, smiling, "One of my abilities is healing."
"One of them?" Yang Yuan was puzzled but also pleasantly surprised.
Because this healing ability is very powerful, this woman was simply a super healer, there would be no fear of injury in the future.
"Yes."
Zhao Jiayan glanced around, then whispered, "When you have awakened on your own, must you figure out your abilities by yourself to know how to use them?"
"Aren't you?" Yang Yuan was puzzled and looked at Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi shook her head blankly.
Zhao Jiayan said, "When I awakened, that mysterious altar directly provided me with information about my abilities, including my future training direction."
"So magical?" Yang Yuan was amazed.
Zhao Jiayan whispered, "My ability is called 'One Short of Ten.'
"One Short of Ten? What's that supposed to mean? Isn't it One Short of Three?" Yang Yuan was baffled.
Zhao Jiayan pursed her lips and smiled softly, explained in a low voice, "Ten means perfect, I can repair flawed things, whether it's life or dead objects. 'Short of one' means I can make perfect things imperfect."
Yang Yuan once again showed a surprised look: "Can you repair anything?"
"In theory, yes. But I've just awakened, and my abilities are limited. For example, if the injury is too severe, I can't cure it. Also, even if I can make something imperfect, I can't directly kill the target. This ability doesn't seem to be meant for killing," Zhao Jiayan said.
Yang Yuan praised, "That's still very impressive."
Not only impressive but very eerie.
If Zhao Jiayan uses this ability well, it could become anyone's nightmare. The fact that she directly told him indicated she completely trusts him.
Suddenly Zhao Jiayan again whispered, "If possible, I suggest you also test it; the altar might still have the detection function, and if you can find out what your abilities are, you can improve better."
Yang Yuan thought for a while, then closed the Power Armor, exposing only a face, saying, "Alright, let's go back and have a look."
The three returned to the Awakening Room.
At this time, there was only the staff dazedly standing in the Awakening Room.
Seeing the three come back, the staff showed a puzzled look, "Anyone else wants to awaken? Ten Spirit Monster Cores per person."
"No," Yang Yuan explained, "Can this altar detect already awakened abilities?"
"You want to detect?"
The staff said, "One Spirit Monster Core, provided you've already awakened; otherwise, nothing can be detected."
Yang Yuan nodded: "If I detect, will you know my abilities?"
"You're overthinking it. This is something excavated from the Ancient Ruins, and we have no way to decrypt it. The only thing we can operate is filling it with energy and activating it," the staff said indifferently.
Yang Yuan nodded, took out a Spirit Monster Core, then said to Jiang Yiyi, "Yiyi, you get on."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Yiyi obediently walked onto the altar.
The staff activated the altar and added, "Detection won't cause any discomfort."
A minute later, Jiang Yiyi walked down from the altar, a confused look on her face.
"What's wrong? Didn't it detect anything?" Yang Yuan frowned.
"It detected something," Jiang Yiyi responded, then glanced at the staff.
Yang Yuan understood, hesitated for a moment, then took out another Spirit Monster Core and handed it over: "I'll test it too."
Saying that, he walked onto the altar.
The staff couldn't help but explain, "Your armor... it's best to open it, or it might affect the detection."
"Okay."
Yang Yuan opened the armor, and immediately felt an invisible magnetic field enveloping his body.
The next moment, a dizzying sensation came over him, and he felt as if his consciousness was sinking into a dark space.
He didn't know how long it was before a piece of information appeared within his 'vision' range:
[Conceptual System]
[Name: Unknown]
[Introduction: Unknown]
[Training Method: Unknown]
Quickly, this information faded away, and Yang Yuan's consciousness returned.
He opened his eyes blankly, somewhat understanding Jiang Yiyi's earlier expression.
"Thank you."
He closed the armor, exposing only one face, said to the staff, and then left the Awakening Room with Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi.
"How was it?"
Zhao Jiayan curiously asked, "Why do both of you look so confused?"
Yang Yuan led the two women to a less crowded place before whispering, "This ability of mine, the altar cannot detect, it only knows that it's a Conceptual System. By the way, what system was yours?"
"Conceptual System?"
Zhao Jiayan asked, puzzled, then replied, "Mine is Rule System."
Rule System?
Yang Yuan was amazed; just by the name, this system sounds quite extraordinary.
"What about Yiyi?" He looked at Jiang Yiyi: "Yiyi's couldn't be detected either? Could it be a Conceptual System too?"
"It was detected, but Yiyi doesn't recognize words," Jiang Yiyi said helplessly.
Yang Yuan: "..."
Zhao Jiayan: "..."
So the altar's detection uses Chinese? Instead of some universally understandable information?
The two looked at each other with a sense of helplessness.
Thinking back, during Earth's fusion with this world, Jiang Yiyi was only five years old; not knowing words is normal.
"Does Yiyi remember what those characters look like? Can you draw them?" Yang Yuan asked.
Jiang Yiyi tilted her head, thinking for a moment, "Yes, Yiyi can draw them."
"Come on, draw those characters." Yang Yuan handed Jiang Yiyi his short knife.
Jiang Yiyi immediately started carving on the ground, the strokes crooked.
But Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan could still make them out.
[Rule System]
[Name: Sense of Security]
[Introduction: 1. Any existence able to actively cause you harm, whether living or dead, once they enter your perception range, you'll detect them, irrespective of strength, with the range directly proportional to the ability level. 2. Existence unable to actively cause harm requires your active perception to be detected. 3. Once an existence becomes hostile towards you within your perception range, you'll gain temporary concealment ability; once they leave this range, your temporary invisibility ability will disappear. 4. When lacking a sense of security, you'll have eidetic memory, able to remember everything within your visual range, but when feeling secure, your memory returns to normal.]
[Training Method: Long-term exposure to dangerous environments can rapidly improve your ability]
