Chapter 514: Awakening
Su Hao had never imagined that the core ‘source’ of the extraordinary power in this world would look like this.
How to describe what the spiritual force perceives?
Extreme suppression, extreme violence.
Like the energy generated by nuclear fusion every moment, about to be released, but forcibly restrained by some powerful force, unable to vent, only able to maintain that moment of restraint.
But this energy seems much stronger than the energy produced by nuclear fusion.
This feeling is very strange.
Su Hao mastered countless languages, but still couldn’t express it intuitively.
It’s like flipping a coin, either heads or tails, but the feeling the ‘source’ gives is precisely in the middle, neither positive nor negative; it’s like the number on a number line, it’s exactly that middle point – zero.
Critical point!
Suddenly, the word “critical point” popped into Su Hao’s mind, and then he confirmed again, the source is indeed at the critical point of manifesting or not manifesting.
It’s like walking a fine line between heaven and hell, and I happen to be that line.
Perhaps the name ‘source’ given to it by this world is the most appropriate.
‘Why does such a special thing exist? What if it explodes?’
With this thought, Su Hao immediately noticed the energy in the crystal ball responding to his mental power, becoming restless.
It seemed to want to respond to Su Hao’s call and explode.
“Stop!” Su Hao shouted in his mind.
If it really exploded, what then? The town might be in ruins, and it’s hard to say if he would immediately reincarnate.
He suddenly withdrew his hand, opened his eyes, and jumped back, ready to resist the explosion.
At this moment, the crystal ball was dazzling with white light, as if it would explode in the next moment. However, disappointingly, the dazzling white light gradually dimmed and soon returned to its original appearance, rich in brilliance yet gentle.
Didn’t explode! Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief and then saw Gu Yin’s astonished face.
Su Hao walked back and sat down, explaining, “President Gu Yin, I thought it was going to explode just now, so I reacted a bit strongly. Let’s continue!”
Gu Yin’s lips twitched, “No need… the state just now indicates that you have awakened as a Origin Master.”
Su Hao showed a look of surprise, “Is this awakening?”
Gu Yin was momentarily at a loss for words.
She had already prepared to slowly teach, if not awakened once, then twice or three times, until the other party found that sense of resonance.
She had already thought of many words to comfort the other party not to be discouraged…
The result? Just a touch, and he awakened, and she didn’t do anything.
Too fake!
While recalling the scene just now, Su Hao said, “I just sensed the violent and destructive power in the crystal ball, and let go out of worry. Maybe it’s not an awakening. President Gu Yin, do you want to guide me again? No other meaning, just want to be more cautious.”
Gu Yin smirked and laughed, “Don’t I know whether it’s an awakening or not? Don’t worry, this crystal ball is specially used to awaken the source ability and won’t explode. The ‘source’ inside has been processed by special means to limit the range of changes. Under perception guidance, it will only change a small distance in a certain direction and won’t completely change its nature by breaking through a critical point.”
Su Hao whispered, “Is that so? Then what is the direction of my awakening?”
Gu Yin said, “Energy manipulation, Explosive Origin Master.”
Su Hao asked, “Why? Just because I sensed that the source was about to explode?”
Gu Yin nodded, “You could say that, but not entirely.”
She pointed in the air, “Consider the source as a point. If this point is to move, it can have countless directions of movement. And the direction of movement seen by each person is different. Therefore, the awakened source abilities are also different. You see the source tends toward explosion, and the crystal ball also shows the source is trending toward explosion. So, what you’ve awakened is the Explosive Origin Master.”
Explosive Origin Master… Actually, Su Hao would prefer to awaken as an ‘Illusionist’ Origin Master. That way, he could explore what the Illusionist source really looks like.
Gu Yin chuckled, “Why do you seem so dissatisfied with the direction of your awakening? Honestly, among all Origin Masters, being an Energy Manipulator Explosive Origin Master is the most powerful in terms of destructive force. In a sense, it’s even more unstoppable than the Illusionist Origin Master.”
Indeed, if there’s any trouble, just blow it up. If it’s still not good, blow it up again.
With that, Su Hao asked himself inwardly, “Can this explosive force shatter a giant asteroid?”
The answer is no!
Destroying a city might be simple, but shattering an asteroid is not very realistic.
Su Hao sighed deeply and shook his head, “Not dissatisfied, just curious about what an Illusionist Origin Master would be like.”
Gu Yin suddenly burst into laughter, “That’s the most interesting part. Anyone who is extremely rational and likes to get to the bottom of things cannot awaken as an Illusionist. Those who can awaken as Illusionists are all those single-minded, ridiculously stubborn weirdos. Can’t explain it specifically! Anyway, it’s impossible for you, Ziyang, to become an Illusionist Origin Master, so give up!”
This is also a kind of unattainable desire.
Su Hao smiled and said, “You never know, maybe I’ll awaken as an Illusionist master in the future?”
Gu Yin thought Su Hao was joking, just chuckled a few times, then got up and said, “Alright, since you have awakened as an Explosive Origin Master, let’s go register it! From now on, you’ll be a powerful Origin Master of Huai Shui Town. Congratulations!”
Su Hao was puzzled, “Wait a minute, President Gu Yin! Isn’t this too hasty? I don’t know anything besides awakening now, such as how to cast spells, how to build combat power? I don’t seem to have a ‘source’ right now, shouldn’t you teach me how to cultivate the source?”
Gu Yin said, “Our bodies can’t produce ‘source’. If you want to obtain it, you need to hunt Origin Beasts yourself, or go out to find disasters and anomalies. Of course, if you have money, you can also buy it! As for the method of using the source, after you register, join a team! Your teammates will teach you. To thoroughly master the use of the source, it takes a long time of practice, and it can’t be explained in a short time.”
After a moment of thought, Gu Yin reached out and flicked a delicate switch on the armor on her chest, and a small door popped out, revealing a small storage compartment. She took out a pearl-sized milky white bead from inside and handed it to Su Hao, “This is the source bead, consider it as your startup fund! But before someone guides you on how to use it, never attempt to activate the energy inside.”
Su Hao reached out and took the pearl emitting soft white light, sincerely saying, “Thank you, President Gu Yin.”
Gu Yin grinned, “No need to thank me. If you get rich in the future, remember to repay me.”
Su Hao’s eyelids twitched. Was this an investment!
Gu Yin bluntly said, “Giving you the source bead is mainly because I like you, kid. I like powerful men. Hehehe! Keep it up, young man!”
Su Hao glanced at Gu Yin’s sturdy figure from the corner of his eye. Indeed, she likes powerful men, she wouldn’t fancy a weakling.
He smiled nonchalantly, “When I get rich in the future, I’ll move boxes of source beads to your house.”
Gu Yin patted Su Hao’s shoulder, “Just having you say that is enough. Let’s go! I’ll take you to register. Being an Explosive Origin Master, I’m sure many teams will be eager to have you.”
…
The two later arrived at the hall.
The registrar stared with round eyes, staring blankly as the two approached.
As they approached, the registrar seemed to wake up from a dream, suddenly standing up and greeting, “Auntie… oh no! President, why are you here, hehe!”
Gu Yin glared at the registrar fiercely, seemingly displeased with her mix-up of titles, “Register this kid, he has awakened as a Origin Master.”
The registrar looked surprised, looked Su Hao up and down, then stuttered, “Y-you… you’re that… that who…? You look quite familiar.”
Su Hao remained expressionless, “Ziyang.”
The registrar immediately slapped her thigh and exclaimed, “Right, right, Ziyang! So amazing, actually awakening as a Origin Master, so envious…”
Then she introduced herself, “I’m Gulang. Nice to meet you. Hahaha!”
Gu Yin coughed heavily.
Gulang choked, awkwardly chuckling, “First meeting is a bit too excited, don’t mind me.”
Then she handed Su Hao a form, saying, “Here, fill in the basic information first. Leave it blank if you don’t know, I’ll register it for you.”
Writing? Su Hao had learned it long ago, and his handwriting wasn’t bad.
