Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 318 - 135: Scorching Eagle Flame, A New Path!

Chapter 318: Chapter 135: Scorching Eagle Flame, A New Path!

After the Collector was activated, the Life Level that had been blocked for so long finally completed the massive breakthrough from 0 to 1.

As the evaluation stated, this is an extremely important step, a chasm between ordinary people and the Extraordinary, and now he has stepped over it in one stride.

Along with this, came the fourth Skill Bar that Cheng Ye had longed for.

This means that even if he equips ’Heart-Protecting Fire’ and ’Wild Grass Physique’, there are still two permanent slots available for learning skills, so there is no need to slow down the progress of mastering basic abilities for the sake of Extraordinary Power.

But what’s more surprising is that, apart from the expansion of the Skill Bar, a brand new column unexpectedly appeared on the panel.

"Ability?"

Cheng Ye was shocked, never expecting that acquiring Extraordinary skills could accidentally unlock a new feature. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The fiery red ’Scorching Eagle Coexistence State’ flickered slightly, like an animated image, sometimes forming words, sometimes condensing into the virtual image of a Scorching Eagle flapping its wings.

If he hadn’t found the Tear of the Horned Starfish, if he didn’t have a large amount of search samples for reference.

Cheng Ye might not have fully understood the weight of these words.

But now, a clear thought crashed into his mind.

Coexistence State is probably the correct way to unlock Extraordinary Ability during the transitional version after the S4 virus rampaged and before S5 started.

"Could it be that in this state, humans can absorb the power of Extraordinary Creatures and transform themselves?"

Cheng Ye sat silently in thought, the scene witnessed from the eagle’s perspective reappeared in his mind.

The grandeur of the volcanic eruption, magma pouring like a reversed heavenly river, and all this being caused by a human figure with just a casual strike.

That kind of ability to change the heavens and the earth at will is simply beyond imagination, even in the Primordial World, it would be considered an Immortal means to call the wind and summon the rain.

If such Extraordinary beings were numerous at that time, it would be no wonder that Earth became the Wasteland it is today.

In a mere ten to twenty years, these "Immortals" could have turned this vast planet into a meat grinder.

You destroy one of my cities, I overturn a piece of your land, the foundation of human civilization is as fragile as a strand of french fries under the collision of this level of power.

If the Immortals were indeed the public enemy of humanity, maybe human technological weapons would still have the power to contend.

But the problem is that behind every Extraordinary there’s not just solo combat, but also factions supporting them, consortia backing them, and even an alliance of the Extraordinary has emerged.

The so-called strife has long ceased to be personal grievances, but rather drags the fate of countless ordinary people into the abyss, plunging the whole world into despair.

If not for the sudden emergence of the S4 virus, which in an almost unreasonable manner killed off all the Extraordinary, Earth today might have been in another form...

Perhaps an oligarchic era ruled by a few Extraordinary, or a malformed civilization where Extraordinary Power and technology coexist, but one thing is certain, in the painful transition during this period, the casualties of ordinary people would definitely be far more than in the current Wasteland era.

So future humans wanting to touch Extraordinary Power would definitely not dare to imitate their predecessors.

Even if someone still retains the Extraordinary items from those years, they would certainly not dare to step into the Extraordinary relying solely on these things.

After all, judging by the development of previous generations of viruses, there must be forces that have preserved samples of the S4 virus, and it might not have ceased spreading yet, only that it hasn’t affected ordinary people.

Once discovered, a virus sample thrown over could allow ordinary people to eliminate the Extraordinary.

"Co-surviving with Extraordinary Creatures..."

"Could it be through this clever way, letting Extraordinary Creatures bear the risk, they themselves can stably gain Extraordinary Power?"

Cheng Ye could only speculate, but regardless, he finally reached the threshold of utilizing Extraordinary Ability, gaining the qualification to continue exploring the truth.

Suppressing the tremor in his heart, Cheng Ye turned his gaze back to the Skill Bar, gently clicked on the unfold button behind the Heart-Protecting Fire.

This detailed description feature is not available on ordinary skills, but the uniqueness of Extraordinary skills no longer surprises him.

The text on the panel then changed, and under Heart-Protecting Fire, a detailed explanation unfolded:

[Heart-Protecting Fire (Level 1; Extraordinary Talent)]

[Description]: It is rumored that the Red Jade Fire Lotus growing in lava gave rise to three clusters of Origin Fire in total.

Killing Body Fire extinguishes every aspect on touch, Heart-Protecting Fire shelters oneself from all calamity, and Soul-Destroying Fire can annihilate any Spirit Body.

Obtaining any of these three fires allows one to become Extraordinary.

[Growth Value]: Level 1 (0.0001%)

[Growth Method]:

1. The Heart-Protecting Fire is bound to the Extraordinary Seed (Scorching Eagle juvenile), and the Collector must nurture this juvenile, as its growth will simultaneously enhance the level of the Heart-Protecting Fire.

2. It is detected that the Collector has opted for the union route and has the feature ’Information Fusion’ unlocked:

By fusing with special skills marked with *, additional growth value can be obtained.

Note: There’s a certain probability of skill mutation post-fusion, leading to irreversible consequences. Please proceed with caution.

[Current Efficacy]:

1. When equipped, automatically immune to mental interference of range (level less than Level 6)

2. When equipped, it allows the activation of a special ability: Scorching Eagle Coexistence State

...

"It’s actually... a growth type skill?"

Having read all the information, Cheng Ye was slightly surprised.

Among the skills found so far, there are active skills like Iron Body, passive skills like Wild Grass Physique, and a huge number of ordinary skills that can be learned through training.

But a skill that can continually grow under certain conditions, Heart-Protecting Fire is the first of its kind.

"The description states that Heart-Protecting Fire is one of the three Origin Fires of the Red Jade Fire Lotus, hmm, it should be the Fire Lotus I saw when I switched to the eagle’s perspective."
