Tang Xian did not imdiately return to the cabin. So things could not be explained with words alone; they required a personal demonstration.
He let go of Tang Xiaojiu and, holding her hand, said,
"Did we not ntion last ti that Qing JiuYu is a nine-tailed fox demon and Bai Mansheng is the White Phosphorus Serpent Demon?"
Everyone was taken aback, especially Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan, who recalled their experience in the fox den. Although it seed peaceful, they couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
Akasi nodded. Even though Tang Xian had ntioned so things, his abilities were still very mysterious to him.
Tang Xian continued,
"You all must be curious about how I could beco friends with Bai Mansheng and Qing JiuYu. Today, I will make it clear to you."
The group was at a loss for words.
For them, the idea that Tang Xian could be friends with disaster-level and catastrophe-level boss creatures, or that such creatures could transform into humans, was completely unheard of.
Tang Xian said,
"Today, I will tell you all there is to know. Let's start with Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng. I don't know yet why they can turn into humans; this might be a special ability that high-level creatures' Soul Crystals possess."
"The human form might be seen as the most perfect creation in the eyes of the creator. After all, this world does not seem to to be filled with the randomness of our Pyramid World. It seems more like a world created afterwards."
As for his own words, Tang Xian purely speculated without any definitive argunts to prove them. He simply voiced his thoughts.
"The powers humans can acquire in the mining areas are also recorded in the original docunts of the Pyramid, so it's very possible that this ability is a new genetic sequence that humans acquired after settling in the Pyramid, influenced imperceptibly over ti."
Dong Ran was utterly baffled.
Akasi and Tang Suoye also did not quite understand. Qiao Shanshan, on the other hand, listened intently and found it quite interesting.
"But with the knowledge I currently have, I cannot confirm these views. I can only presu that this viewpoint is an objective fact to discuss so special cases, such as myself."
Tang Xian said,
"There are so aspects of my ability that I cannot yet disclose to you; I need to understand the causes and effects by myself before I can explain them to you. But what I can tell you now is that humans cannot harm ."
The group was stunned once again.
"Instead of putting it that way, which may not give you a feel for it, let's do a practical exercise so you'll understand."
Tang Xian pointed at Dong Ran and said,
"Do you rember the first ti we encountered the fox demon when you pushed ?"
"I rember." Dong Ran would certainly not forget. Although Tang Xian often criticized her for being slow, he rarely got angry.
But that ti, Tang Xian was genuinely angry.
"You can try again now, attack with your strongest force."
"Wouldn't that hurt... a lot?" Dong Ran still thought it was absurd.
Recalling how Tang Xian had faced off against Huang Jie of White Rose, and connecting it with what he had said today, Qiao Shanshan suddenly understood.
"You can try. He won't be hurt," said Qiao Shanshan.
Dong Ran did not understand. Why would even the doctor say so?
She still rembered that Tang Xian was not strong; she was the one who had carried the carcass of the hellhound back.
How could such a fragile body seem capable of withstanding her strike?
Dong Ran concentrated her energy in her palm, but did not use full strength. Even so, her palm strike was formidable.
As the palm wind approached, Tang Xian simply raised a finger, much like the scenes in bottom-tier comics that depict disparities in strength.
That single finger stopped Dong Ran's palm force from advancing even slightly.
Dong Ran was shocked and tried to increase her strength, but it was still in vain.
Tang Xian said,
"You don't have to hold back. Use your full force."
"But I am using all my strength..."
Dong Ran stopped trying and withdrew her hand in disbelief.
This scene baffled even Akasi.
"This is how humans can't harm . Akasi, your attacks would be the sa, and even Tang Suoye, your Telekinesis has no effect on ."
"If I were to demonstrate, it seems that my strength is great. But to be honest, I might not even be able to lift a 300-pound Dong Ran."
Dong Ran: "???"
Why am I asured in 'only'? How did I beco 300 pounds? I'm only 100 pounds at most!
Dong Ran rembered soone saying that a girl over 90 pounds is considered fat, but she couldn't slim down to less than 90 unless she could look down at her shoes without her line of sight being blocked.
"It's just an example, don't mind it. Simply put, this is the power of my defense. As for offensive power, it's also strong, of course, only in relation to humans. Once that factor is removed, I'm no different from an ordinary person, except... I can take a beating really well."
Tang Xian went on to say,
"There are so abilities that I won't list one by one because they have not yet completed the process where quantitative change triggers qualitative change. At a certain stage, I will tell you all about them."
Akasi, puzzled and sowhat concerned, said,
"You're the sa as revealing your weakness. Why?"
Tang Xian laughed and said,
"I can judge a person's attitude and feelings towards ; you all are worth my trust. In the battles to co, knowing my strengths and weaknesses will allow for better teamwork."
