Chen Shouyi just felt his mind go blank, and by the ti he ca to his senses, his spirit had already been flung tens of ters away.
He was shocked in his heart, as this was the first ti he encountered such a phenonon, with his consciousness completely unable to reside within.
"I don’t believe in this nonsense!"
He endured the oppressive aura and plunged in again.
The result was the sa as last ti, but this ti he was flung even further away.
After his spirit got flung twice in a row.
His mind beca sowhat drowsy, and his thoughts began to slow, as if countless pieces of information were blocking his mind, swelling it up, yet upon closer inspection, they seed to disappear without a trace.
Realizing that his spirit was sowhat exhausted, Chen Shouyi imdiately gave in.
He exited the Gray Mist Space.
When he opened his eyes, he felt a splitting headache, his brain seemingly about to explode, swelling in waves.
Only after a long while did his spirit gradually recover.
"Ouch!" Chen Shouyi stood up, clutching his still faintly aching head.
After taking a few steps, his face showed slight surprise, and he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
For so unknown reason, he felt a hint of strangeness.
"An illusion?"
Chen Shouyi thought his spirit hadn’t recovered yet, so he rubbed his face, trying to make himself more spirited.
Then he opened his eyes again, only to find the feeling remained.
He seed to have developed a peculiar sense of affinity with the unseen, untouchable air around him.
As if!
He could control the air.
At this mont, the vision displayed by that mysterious giant tree flashed in his mind:
"No way!"
A crazy idea erged in his mind as he cautiously reached out a hand, holding it gently, feeling the air split into several streams gently slipping through his fingers. His mind instinctively grasped the trajectory of the airflow and its subsequent changes.
A thought crossed his mind, and soon a miracle happened.
One stream of air that was about to escape suddenly changed direction, circling around his finger.
He really seed to be able to control it!
Feeling the airflow circulating round and round between his fingers.
Chen Shouyi’s eyes widened in excitent and disbelief.
Is this a supernatural ability?
But how is it possible?
He was rely in the mory Space where his spirit montarily entered the mysterious giant tree and was imdiately flung out, his mind a blank, hardly gaining any mory or insight; he even doubted whether he lasted half a second.
What’s more, is supernatural ability so easy to learn?
He had invested his spirit into the Shell Lady in the mory Space before.
In fact, he had long been envious of her innate abilities.
After all, this is flight we are talking about.
If as a child he dread of suddenly gaining the ability to fly, he’d wake up laughing from the dream.
For terrestrial creatures, it’s a long-standing dream.
Yet he gained nothing.
The Shell Lady’s innate ability cannot be learned through physical mory like Swordsmanship.
...
Chen Shouyi suspected it was due to absorbing that mysterious substance similar to a fruit pit, which, upon reflection, seed to be the seed of the giant tree.
This explained a lot!
He guessed that after absorbing the seed, it not only transford his body but also granted him a similar ability as the tree.
Perhaps because of the small quantity, the ability was hidden and couldn’t be triggered for a while. Yet this temporary inhabitation of the spirit, though his mind was blank, seemingly allowed him in his subconscious to absorb many insights from the other entity’s body mory.
It was like a catalyst, an inducent that smoothly activated his ability.
Filled with joy, Chen Shouyi imdiately checked his attribute panel.
Behind the innate ability column, besides Natural Healing, there was indeed one more.
Atmospheric Control (Weak)
As for the word "Weak", he quickly dismissed it with a glance.
After all, this is a supernatural ability; having it is good enough, what more could you wish for?
Although this isn’t the first ti he’s gained a supernatural ability, Natural Healing is also a supernatural ability and much stronger than Atmospheric Control.
However, to Chen Shouyi, this passive and understated ability couldn’t compare to this active, demonstrable ability.
Can’t show off, can only be secretly pleased, what’s the difference between having it or not?
...
Excited by his discovery, he imdiately began experinting with enthusiasm.
The wind is elusive and hard to capture, its trajectory changes with the slightest disturbance.
But with the ability of Atmospheric Control, Chen Shouyi gained a kind of premonition, a sort of instinct. He could clearly discern the airflow’s path and impending changes, and after just a bit of practice, he could already sowhat control the wind.
After half an hour, he could form a half-foot-high, crooked, twisted, constantly spinning small vortex in his palm.
...
This seems...
Not very useful!
After his experints, Chen Shouyi found his ability quite weak.
He could only control a range of about a ter around him, which was also the extent of his perception, and its mightiest force could only stir a breeze strong enough to make tiny hairs wavily tilt.
Perhaps it might let him appear more dashing with flowing hair as he strolls.
Of course, on Earth, even this slight breeze might be impossible.
Just then, the Shell Lady called out loudly:
"Giant, co over here, it’s huge, huge, I can’t move it."
Chen Shouyi’s concentration broke, causing the vortex to rapidly dissolve; he didn’t mind and imdiately looked in her direction.
He saw the Shell Lady seed to be strenuously attempting to move sothing heavy, bent over, her steps staggering, her face flushed red.
What had she found?
Curious, he hurried over.
Upon reaching her, he discovered that the Shell Lady had found a naturally ford elliptical gold nugget slightly larger than a pigeon’s egg, with high purity. Even without removing the surface sand, the bright golden sheen was visible.
Chen Shouyi picked it up swiftly, weighing about half a pound, though that’s its weight here; in terms of mass, it would be around a hundred grams. He glanced at the still blushing Shell Lady.
What strength!
This piece of gold wasn’t much smaller than her body, yet such a small being could carry it.
"Jewel! Jewel! Jewel!" The Shell Lady saw Chen Shouyi admiring the gold, not giving out rewards, and couldn’t help but fly up to his face, loudly demanding.
Originally he should have paid her a small jewel by weight, but witnessing this natural gold piece, he couldn’t help but feel generous, pulling out a large Glass Bead and directly pressing it into her arms.
The Shell Lady instinctively held it tight, her eyes widened, overwheld by a huge surprise, leaving her mind slightly dizzy, swaying midair, and Chen Shouyi was a bit worried she might fall.
Chen Shouyi always kept a strict control over the Glass Beads, not easily releasing them.
Since he last bought a box of large Glass Beads, he had only given the Shell Lady one; this made the second.
...
The Shell Lady had a simple way of evaluating the value of jewels.
First, by looking at how pretty they are; the prettier they are, the more precious they naturally are. Compared to the monotone small jewels, the large ones are much prettier, filled with diverse colors like a frozen rainbow, quite miraculous.
Secondly, by size; a large jewel could easily match ten small ones.
It’s unquestionable.
The Shell Lady’s delight was imaginable.
Imdiately, she didn’t mind Chen Shouyi anymore, clutching the large Glass Bead tight, drunkenly flying into the bushes.
Suddenly, she dropped straight down.
Before Chen Shouyi could exclaim, she struggled back up, often sneaking glances at him.
Chen Shouyi imdiately understood.
He averted his gaze, and a few seconds later, found the Shell Lady vanished into the underbrush.
He couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly; evidently, the Shell Lady went to stash her treasure.
PS: Seeking recomndations ahhh
