C19 Mental Interference

Although Guan Qingxue couldn't understand what Yang Tian was saying, he had indeed protected her many times. Moreover, she now had greater power than Yang Tian, so she didn't have to worry about any improper actions from him.

Yang Tian looked at Guan Qingxue with a slightly strange look. He was somewhat surprised but immediately understood what was on her mind.

Yang Tian didn't beat around the bush and told her about the incident with the blood rain that would happen at dawn. Guan Qingxue was somewhat surprised by his revelation, but considering that Yang Tian had just used an energy crystal to strengthen her body, it was highly likely that what he said was true.

Yang Tian asked Guan Qingxue to return to the cabin and rest, urging her to maintain the best possible condition leading up to dawn. He emphasized that any slight abnormality could affect the awakening of her abilities. Once Guan Qingxue had returned to the cabin, Yang Tian sat atop the mutant hog, waiting for the baptism in the wee hours of the morning.

Yang Tian took out the Devil Fruit he had obtained previously, but his current psychic power was not strong enough to identify what kind of Devil Fruit it was. "Natural or supernatural?" Yang Tian mused.

In the apocalypse, Devil Fruits were a very rare and special existence. Typically, a normal human could only awaken one kind of ability, but by consuming a Devil Fruit, they could gain an additional ability based on the fruit's specific attribute. However, Devil Fruits were so rare in that world that it was highly unlikely to come across one.

In his previous life, Yang Tian had once killed an epic Zerg King and obtained a Devil Fruit as a reward. However, the fruit turned out to be a spring-type fruit, which had little effect on Yang Tian, so he decided not to consume it. If it had been a nature-type fruit, Yang Tian would have eagerly devoured it without hesitation.

The Devil Fruit came from the world of "One Piece"; as such, it also had a weakness - it could not be in contact with seawater. Yang Tian didn't want to risk absorbing a useless fruit and gaining a fatal defect.

Night fell once again, but this time it seemed remarkably peaceful as if it was the calm before the storm.

It wasn't just Yang Tian staring at the sky; Hsiao Meiyi and Mo Kai were also tense.

"What kind of ability will you awaken?"

Lee Sikai, a half-beast man cheetah warrior, turned to look at Hsiao Meiyi and Mo Kai. His legs had already turned into powerful leopard legs, and he could no longer return to his human form. With the increase in his level, Lee Sikai would only become more like a cheetah. However, compared to the fate of ordinary people, Lee Sikai would rather choose strength. At least he had the ability to protect himself.

"I don't know either!"

"I hope it's not too bad."

Who could say for sure about unknown things? Of course, they would prefer someone like Hu Jun, an elemental warrior, over Lee Sikai's half-beast form.

Time passed slowly, and the moon's color in the sky began to turn blood red.

"Qingxue, come out quickly," Yang Tian called out to Guan Qingxue, who was inside the cabin.

"What happened?"

"Get ready to awaken your superpower."

Now that all the electrical appliances were broken, it was impossible to know the exact time. They could only judge based on the color of the sky.

Apart from Guan Qingxue, two other female students also came out. It's easy to tell that Guan Qingxue had told them about the Blood Cloud irrigation. They also wanted to awaken their superpowers, but Yang Tian greeted them with a contemptuous sneer.

"You..."

The apocalypse had not yet arrived, so they were the school's top beauties. The boys who used to flatter them were not more than fifteen years old. But now, their so-called good looks seemed to be less attractive than a piece of dried meat.

Drip...

The sound of blood rain falling on the ground was soon followed by continuous dripping sounds. This time, the blood rain lasted for a full five minutes.

So this was what it felt like to be irrigated by blood rain.

In his previous life, Yang Tian had never experienced blood rain irrigation. This was his first time being irrigated by the blood rain.

The blood rain seemed to have a special curse that stirred the depths of the soul.

Snow Wolf Knight?

Yang Tian never expected the first power to be awakened would be the Snow Wolf Knight, but he immediately dismissed the thought. The first level of psychic power would immediately eliminate the power about to awaken. This was also why Yang Tian was willing to upgrade his psychic power to the first level. Only in that way could he control the ability he wanted to awaken.

Beast Tamer was his ultimate goal.

The awakened ability would be determined by the height that the user had reached. For example, some sword masters would awaken abilities related to sword techniques in the apocalypse.

The highest level of Yang Tian's ability was his Psychic power, so the reason why he was about to awaken the Snow Wolf Knight should be related to the absorption of the mutant wild wolf's energy crystal earlier.

Sure enough, it was a Beast Tamer.

The second ability that he awakened was that of a beast tamer. The feeling of returning to being a beast tamer was very familiar. Yang Tian could clearly feel that his control over the mutant hog and the Dark Crimson Fire Wolf had improved.

The moment Yang Tian became a beast tamer, the bodies of the Dark Crimson Fire Wolf and the Mutant hog visibly trembled, and a sense of fear descended upon them. They looked at Yang Tian with more respectful eyes and even dared not meet his gaze.

The strength of a Beast Tamer lay in his psychic power, and Yang Tian's initially level one psychic power had also been strengthened, becoming more aggressive.

It was actually mental interference?

This was the skill that Yang Tian obtained after becoming a level-one beast tamer: Mental Interference.

Mental interference: Interferes with the senses of a designated creature within a five-meter range, causing temporary confusion.

In addition to the creatures they tame, beast tamers also have their own protective skills. When Yang Tian became a level-one beast tamer in his previous life, he did not gain any skills, and only obtained one skill when he reached the second level.

Many creatures and ability users lacked personal skills at level one. A typical example was the Sulfuric Acid Zerg that could only spit sulfuric acid, a relatively weak skill at the first level. However, elite monsters like the Crimson Fire Wolf have skills at the first level.

After the blood rain ended, Yang Tian also woke up. Hu Jun and Lee Sikai also wanted to try their luck, but their disappointed gazes undoubtedly told everyone they had failed.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream caught the attention of the people.

The female student injured a while ago was now covered in blood and emitting a foul smell.

Zombie!

"She has turned into a zombie, just like I warned you. This is the consequence if you can't make it through."

Zombies are not afraid of pain. Even if you cut off their legs, they would continue to attack you. Their only weakness was destroying their brain.

Yang Tian used his Tang sword to split her head in half with one strike; only then did she stop struggling.

"Remember, the weak point of zombies is in their heads. If you want to kill them, you must destroy their brain."

Yang Tian's current demeanor was very much like he was lecturing them, but in their eyes, this lecture was full of horror. The classmates who lived together had turned into the subject of their class.

In addition to their awakening of special abilities, Yang Tian also revealed a very important fact.

The manor was a special building in the apocalypse. It wasn't just humans that underwent mutations after being drenched in blood rain; some special buildings were also affected.

These buildings were like the palaces of kings. In the apocalypse, there would be kings who would lead humans to fight against otherworldly creatures. Of course, there would also be palaces waiting for the arrival of the kings.

In his past life, there were 23 special buildings, but humans only occupied nine of them. The other fourteen became the territory of otherworldly creatures and mutant beasts.
