Chapter 417: Chapter 415: The Awakening Journey

After hearing Wen Wen’s words, the man in the metal suit paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, I can’t help you awaken Supernatural Power. The awakening of Supernatural Power is very difficult to intervene in artificially."

"To awaken Supernatural Power, two conditions have to be met. First, one must naturally possess the suitable intensity of Inspiration, and second, one’s physique must be compatible with a strong Remnant Spirit."

"If the intensity of Inspiration is too weak, it can’t establish a connection with a Remnant Spirit; if it’s too strong, it could attract misfortune before even luring a Remnant Spirit."

"Only with a suitable physique can one attract those Remnant Spirits to reside within and awaken the Supernatural Power."

Wen Wen asked with confusion, "So, am I lacking in Inspiration, or is my physique unsuitable?"

The man in the metal suit explained, "Your level of Inspiration is definitely sufficient, and the second condition is not a problem either..."

"In fact, since ancient times, it has only been those with incompatible physiques who couldn’t gain abilities. Nowadays, strong Remnant Spirits are drifting everywhere. Regardless of how special your physique is, you should be able to awaken a fitting ability."

"Going by what you say, I should have met the conditions to awaken Supernatural Power by now, so why am I still just an ordinary person?"

The man in the metal suit thought for a while and then said, "Perhaps you have not yet found the right catalyst. As soon as the opportunity presents itself, you will naturally awaken the ability that belongs to you."

After hearing the man in the metal suit’s explanation, Wen Wen nodded in partial understanding, then stared at him for a good while before saying,

"Whether it’s the barrier of strength or the conditions for awakening Supernatural Power, I have never heard you mention any of this before. How much more are you hiding from me?"

"You will know when the time comes for you to know,"

After saying this, the man in the metal suit just smiled without speaking, no matter how Wen Wen continued to question him, he would not talk.

After Wen Wen left, the man in the metal suit’s expression also turned to one of doubt.

He, in fact, was puzzled as to why Wen Wen had not yet awakened to Supernatural Power. Supernatural Power was not actually something very rare; as long as one meets the conditions, anyone could possess it.

With Wen Wen’s condition and everything he had gone through, he should have his own abilities by now.

Yet even though Wen Wen can tear apart low-level superpower users with his hands, he still doesn’t possess Supernatural Power, which is truly strange.

...

After coming out of the Sanctuary, Wen Wen simply said goodbye to the people of the Qingchuan City Association and, taking the local products they gave him, once again set off on his journey.

Still in charge of driving was Three Cubs, which by then had already become Wen Wen’s private chauffeur.

Wen Wen sat on the roof of the car, pondering how to awaken.

Through the information obtained from the man in the metal suit, Wen Wen knew he had the potential to awaken abilities, but that power was still dormant.

Therefore, to avoid being stagnant in the Disaster Intermediate Sequence power rank for a long time, Wen Wen decided to actively seek out the catalyst for awakening.

According to the data he collected from the Hunters Association, over seventy percent of superpower users were stimulated by a great shock when their abilities awoke—that is, abilities were activated by emotions like ’fear’, ’anger’, ’despair’, and so forth.

Twenty percent of the people were those whose abilities were awakened through the Association’s scientific training. However, these individuals had actually shown signs before awakening, so what the Hunters Association did was essentially guidance.

And for the remaining ten percent, their methods of awakening were so varied that Wen Wen couldn’t help feeling envious.

There were those awakened by drinking water, those who woke up with powers after a night’s sleep, and those aroused to awakening while watching exciting films... But Wen Wen still didn’t have any concrete ideas on how he should awaken his abilities.

The last method was akin to hitting the jackpot, something Wen Wen would only count on if he had a screw loose.

The second method wasn’t quite suitable for him either, so the best way for Wen Wen to seek the awakening of his own abilities was to find sufficient stimulation.

Yet Wen Wen found it hard to imagine what kind of stimulation could awaken his powers. Not even the prospect of his own father crawling out from his grave had done so...

Therefore, Wen Wen speculated that due to the Sanctuary, his body had always possessed a monster physique which squeezed the space for the awakening of his Superpower. That was why he hadn’t awakened to this day.

Based on this speculation, Wen Wen set out a plan for awakening.

That was to forego using any monster physique and, relying solely on his own abilities, seek out an immense stimulus unbearable even for a pervert like him, to awaken his powers!

Unless he was truly on the brink of death, Wen Wen would not use any monster physique before fully awakening!

He set a deadline for himself of one month. If Wen Wen did not awaken within a month, he would temporarily abandon this method and search for other ways to awaken his abilities.

Without using the monster physique, Wen Wen’s combat capabilities alone were equivalent to a Disaster Level Monster, but his Perception Ability, recovery abilities, and some instincts unique to monsters would all be lost.

Therefore, Wen Wen would avoid seeking trouble with Disaster Level Monsters. That wouldn’t be seeking stimulation, but courting death.

What he sought were superpower events likely at Disaster Level, yet not ones he was particularly adept at handling.

This behavior was akin to self-torture, but Wen Wen, the kind who could seek out someone to kill him, made this decision very easily.

So, in the following half-month, Wen Wen truly did not use any monster physique, handling several supernatural cases using his own abilities.

Each of these supernatural cases was the type Wen Wen wasn’t skilled at dealing with, yet with his inherently solid qualities, at worst, he was just a mess and still managed to resolve the cases perfectly.

Over half a month of failure did not discourage Wen Wen. Having set a deadline of one month, he would continue his efforts until thirty days were up, even if hope was not in sight.

The next task, even Wen Wen felt some aversion when he selected it.

In the past, when he could use a monster physique, Wen Wen would skirt around such tasks. Now that he had weakened himself to the extreme level, he had to actively approach these kinds of tasks; it was almost too much even for a pervert like him.

However, to awaken his abilities, Wen Wen resolutely decided to go. The information he knew about this mission was limited to two words...

Plague!

...

Guangyue Province is a coastal province within the Capital District, known as a foodie’s paradise, and Gaozhou City is the foodie city of this foodie province.

Here, there’s no distinction between plants and animals, nor between what flies in the sky or swims in the water. Apart from humans, living things are categorized only as edible or inedible!

Of course, that’s just a joke. However, the food here is indeed diverse and exceptionally delicious.

Once bustling Gaozhou City had now become a lot quieter, with banners about epidemic prevention hanging throughout the city.

The banners reminded the public not to go into the wild alone, not to rashly make contact with suspicious individuals, and to pay attention to hygiene...
