Chapter 8 Level 2 Superpower
"Huh?!" Brother Sun was stunned for a moment.
Although, before the disaster struck, humans had already developed ways to eat most of the animal tissues.
Even some seemingly unbelievable "foods" can be made into delicious dishes, and there are even some die-hard fans who love to eat them.
However, after the disaster struck, and after the initial period when supplies were relatively plentiful, when most food came from hunting and cooking methods were mainly grilling, some of the more "exotic" ingredients were naturally given priority to be abandoned.
Of course, this only applies when you have a choice. If you don't have a choice, you'll have to eat not only animal brains, but also their excrement!
So, Brother Sun only paused for a moment before saying, "Wouldn't it take a long time to make soup with that stuff? It's not very convenient for us to handle internal organs here."
Wu Ou nodded. "It's nothing. Actually, Brother Sun, we have to believe in this magical energy in our bodies. I call it Source Energy."
It enhances our physical fitness and strengthens our resistance to certain foreign viruses.
What he actually meant was that because the main evolutionary point of the jackal lies in its mental strength, it is better to have more exercised parts, just like those animals that produce carnivorous food.
The same applies to a wolf's brain.
Once the method for manufacturing source energy potions is obtained from the ruins of civilization, the most valuable parts of these source energy beasts will fetch a much higher price than ordinary parts when recycled.
"Is that so?" Brother Sun looked at the wolf corpse in Wu Ou's hand, hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything more.
They moved the two corpses to a corner, quickly removed the wolf leader's heart, and then broke open the wolf's brain to dig out the crystal.
He swallowed it whole, activated his superpower, and quickly broke it down.
Humans are social creatures; we need to consider how others perceive us.
Wu Ou sighed inwardly, thinking that if he were the only one here, there would be no need for all this trouble!
With his special ability, he could just swallow them all whole!
After dinner, Wu Ou volunteered to stay up for the rest of the night, sitting by the fire and resting with his eyes closed.
In fact, the body had already entered a state of preparation for a breakthrough.
The source energy extracted from the meat they had previously consumed, and the source energy extracted from the crystal this time, condensed together under the guidance of their special abilities.
Upon breaking through to the next level, Source Energy Warriors typically condense Source Crystals in their five internal organs or 'Dantian' (lower abdomen) as the core for regulating the flow and circulation of Source Energy throughout their body.
The spiritual energy of scientists is concentrated in the area between the eyebrows, which is actually the intersection of brain nerves, serving as a transfer station to enhance the concentration of spiritual power and the speed of nerve conduction.
Those with superpowers are divided into two types. The first type concentrates their abilities within their spinal cord, coordinating the body's energy sources to activate their superpowers.
The second type is concentrated in the bones of a certain part of the body, which is often because the superpower is specifically designed to strengthen that part of the body.
For example, if someone's superpower is freezing breath, then their source crystal can be condensed in the sternum in addition to the spinal cord.
Wu Ou's special ability is to control his body, and his natural selection is concentrated in his spinal cord.
"Hmm!"
Energy flows into the spinal cord, and this opening process is naturally accompanied by intense pain.
He is currently unable to activate his superpowers.
Upon introspection, he saw the energy 'runes' that represented his special ability.
Enveloped in layers of energy, it gradually transformed into a crystal.
This is a bipyramidal crystal, and at the moment it successfully condensed, the source energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was also attracted to it.
From the air, you can see the airflow forming a funnel shape, rotating to guide the source energy into Wu Ou's body.
At this moment, Wu Ou felt as if he had returned to those places in the universe before his rebirth, places abundant with source energy, like a sweltering summer suddenly turning into a cool indoor environment.
Every pore is desperately opening, trying to absorb more source energy.
But Wu Ou knew very well what was more important about this opportunity.
The moment the crystal successfully condensed, it began to rotate on its own, slowly guiding the source energy within Wu Ou's body to circulate.
Activating his supernatural power, Wu Ou focused his consciousness on his internal organs.
He would casually take the bag that was already prepared next to him and stuff his own jerky and unwanted bones into his mouth.
Previously, it took some time to concentrate and digest the information, but now that my abilities have improved, these things are practically melting in my mouth.
It was broken down into source energy and various basic elements, and distributed to where it was needed under the guidance of consciousness.
Bones are strengthened, muscles are strengthened, internal organs are strengthened—these are just the most basic things.
More importantly, he is modifying his own organs!
It enhances the heart's hematopoietic function and the energy reserve sites.
It enhances the lungs' gas exchange function and is the site for storing various gases.
It strengthens the stomach acid and the site where nutrients are stored.
Even the intestines have been completely transformed into a storage source of energy, as well as other substances.
This is an opportunity to enhance superpowers. After entering the universe, the Blue Star civilization comes into contact with knowledge that only older civilizations know.
If we can seize this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be more Level 3 ability users on Earth, instead of just relying on the number of Level 2 ability users to intimidate people.
Within the spinal cord, the source crystal lit up, and the runes representing Wu Ou's superpower in the core changed from dots to short lines.
This is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 superpowers.
An intuition flashed through Wu Ou's mind, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Indeed, only at times like this, when the future direction of Earth's civilization is uncertain, is there the best opportunity to enhance supernatural abilities!"
Before his rebirth, he didn't know what his special ability was at all; he only thought it was the ability to accelerate recovery.
Therefore, when level one is reached, the effect will naturally be enhanced in that direction.
Once in space, without the "newbie perks," the focus shifted entirely to enhancing recovery abilities.
While wandering in the universe, he even went to the black market to sell energy potions made from his own flesh and blood.
After all, in the context of the universe, there isn't much difference between humans and energy beasts.
At that time, he relied on his ability to recover and thought it was an advantage.
Later, when he reached the third level of superpowered being and couldn't advance to the fourth level, he realized that doing too much of that would damage his very essence and leave him with no hope for the future.
Now, what he wants to strengthen is his body's ability to "digest and contain"!
His superpower is the ability to control his body, including anything that enters it.
However, what can be completely controlled is what the body can normally digest and absorb.
Take flesh and bones, for example. He can digest and absorb them without superpowers, but he can quickly absorb them with the help of superpowers.
However, if you eat a piece of wood, the absorption efficiency will be reduced. If it's a piece of metal, you can only control it so that it doesn't harm your body and eventually expel it completely. You also need to maintain your superpower at all times.
But now, the range that can be digested has expanded!
Opening his eyes, Wu Ou took out a small knife that he had previously searched from the person brought by the leopard.
I threw it straight into my mouth—it melted instantly!
