69: Wei He, who awakened her supernatural abilities
After driving Gerard away, Emperor Alexander the Great stared blankly in the direction of the Lords Mansion. He had clearly felt the presence of a Space Mage just now. He thought it would be good enough if a single Space Mage were helping Wei He, but he never expected there to be over a dozen of them. Where on earth did Wei He find so many Space Mages?
If Emperor Alexander the Great knew that Wei He could have as many Space Mages as he wanted, he would probably go insane.
"Fortunately, he is about to set out on a campaign. Let him take his strange army to fight the Demon Race. If he wins, that's great; if he loses, we won't lose anything either. It's killing two birds with one stone!" Emperor Alexander the Great muttered to himself.
Inside the Lords Mansion, Wei He found Huang Yichen to ask about abilities. He was the only one left he could ask.
"In the Lingshu Kingdom, children are tested for the potential to become Ability Users at a very young age. If they have it, they stay to be properly nurtured, with everything funded by the state. If not, they can only go back to business or farming!" Huang Yichen answered Wei He truthfully.
"How do you test them? How do you determine if someone has the potential to become an Ability User?" Wei He continued to press Huang Yichen.
"Generally, the elders of the Lingshu Kingdom perform the tests. Because their ability energy is powerful enough, they can test each child's status without causing any harm!" Huang Yichen said slowly.
"Then can you perform the test?" A look of longing appeared in Wei He's eyes as he looked at Huang Yichen and spoke urgently.
"Since I am only a World-Shocking Level Ability User, I can do the test, but if you really are just an ordinary person with no potential at all, it will cause you harm!" Huang Yichen said very seriously.
"How can that be?" Wei He looked at Huang Yichen with a face full of suspicion.
"Because the testing method involves me injecting my own energy into your body. If you are an Ability User, the energy within you will be activated. If you aren't, this injected energy will damage your body!" Huang Yichen explained calmly.
"Those elders are at a high enough level and have strong enough energy, so they can control it perfectly during the test without harming ordinary people!" Huang Yichen saw Wei He's doubt and explained directly.
"Fine, go ahead. Let's see if I have the potential to be an Ability User!" Wei He said impatiently.
"Don't you want to wait? It would be safer to let the elders test you once we get to the Lingshu Kingdom," Huang Yichen suggested.
"No need, I can't wait any longer. Just do it, I want to become strong!" Wei He said to Huang Yichen with a nervous heart.
"Alright, here it comes!" Huang Yichen pointed his finger, and a trace of yellow energy entered Wei He's forehead. Wei He felt a sharp pain in his head, but after the pain passed, he felt his whole body filled with a comfortable energy.
"That's it?" Wei He asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's done. Do you feel any discomfort?" Huang Yichen asked with concern.
"Aside from a bit of pain in my head at the start, there's no discomfort. Is this reaction normal?" Wei He's heart was in his throat; at this moment, he was more worried than ever about being a useless person.
Because he not only wanted to protect Su Qinglei but also wanted to return to Blue Star alive. This required him to become very powerful; otherwise, he could only hide in the Red Alert Base like a turtle in its shell.
"Looking at it this way, you should be an Ability User. The head pain just now must have been because your potential was being stimulated. If you weren't an Ability User, you would have been injured by now!" Huang Yichen's words made Wei He incredibly excited. He had just felt a surge of energy traveling through his limbs and bones, which felt very refreshing. This must be ability energy.
"So I'm an Ability User now too, ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Wei He jumped up and down in excitement, his laughter filling the entire Lords Mansion.
This proved he wasn't a waste. Moreover, as long as it was confirmed he was an Ability User, it meant he could slowly increase his level and become a true expert, a truly powerful person.
"You are only slightly stronger than an ordinary person right now. You don't even count as an Entry Level Ability User. You still need to cultivate properly to gradually become an Entry Level Ability User and slowly raise your level!" Huang Yichen's words pulled Wei He back to reality.
However, Wei He was still very happy. Although he hadn't even reached the Entry Level, this matter had at least given him hope.
Three days later, Wei He sat in an anti-air tracked vehicle, slowly traveling on the road to the Magical Beast Empire. Since the Northern Province was also on the path to support the Lingshu Kingdom, and the Lingshu Kingdom was also fighting the Demon Race, the Southern Province's army supporting the Magical Beast Empire had to detour from Kela City in the Southern Province, enter the territory of the Lingshu Kingdom, then head north through Nankang Golden Valley to reach the Magical Beast Empire.
This time, the Southern Province had gathered an army of 200,000. Within the empire's marching columns were hundreds of Beast Carriages. This was only the vanguard; each Beast Carriage was loaded with military supplies needed for this campaign, including fodder, weapons, and various other things.
The Southern Province was already relatively impoverished, and a piece of it had been taken by Wei He. Furthermore, Wei He had no intention of paying taxes, so the Southern Province lost a portion of its revenue.
However, they still had to allocate supplies to Wei He's troops for the campaign. Fortunately, Wei He had only sent 20,000 troops this time, and Emperor Alexander the Great had his own little schemes. Considering the small size of Wei He's force, he agreed to provide supplies for them.
Within the marching ranks, there was a carriage carved from rare cyan wood, pulled by three Fire Spirit Deer. The owner of this Beast Carriage was the legendary Neme. To this day, Wei He had never seen her true face, which made him a little curious about her.
Curiosity aside, Wei He didn't pay her special attention. Instead, he studied and cultivated inside the anti-air tracked vehicle with Huang Yichen.
When the army reached a forest, it suddenly stopped. Wei He went down to ask about the situation and was told that Neme had ordered everyone to rest in place before continuing.
Since that was the case, Wei He took the Bozi Youning into the forest to hunt some game for a barbecue.
Wei He took over a dozen Bozi Youning deep into the forest, leaving Huang Yichen to keep an eye on Carlos. After all, current Wei He was no match for him. If he were ambushed, he would be dead. Thinking of the fate of the Spy, Wei He, Wei He felt a chill run down his spine.
"See that? What kind of creature is that? Never mind, shoot it down, shoot it down!" Flying in the sky was a creature that looked neither like a vulture nor an eagle, but it appeared about two sizes larger than an eagle from Blue Star, with yellow feathers. The famished Wei He immediately ordered the Bozi Youning to shoot it down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of ppsh-41 submachine guns rang out as over a dozen Bozi Youning chased after the eagle-like creature, running forward.
"It's still more comfortable being a Commander. You can just leave everything to your subordinates and only need to give orders. This kind of life is much more pleasant!" While Wei He was muttering to himself, he heard the sound of a nearby waterfall.
