Volume 1, Great Desolation, Chapter 14, Ability Collapse
Just when Chu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, the fireball shot by Lin Xi suddenly dissipated in mid-air. Then, a heavy impact sound followed one after another, accompanied by Wang Hao's muffled groan.
Chu Ling saw Wang Hao and the monster collide, and then Wang Hao squatted down in pain. The ice wall that had been used to block the other two monsters was about to break. Chu Ling hurriedly helped Wang Hao into the place where everyone was hiding.
Inside the ice wall, Lin Xi was helped in by Ruixue. As soon as Chu Ling came in, she asked Wang Hao with concern: "How is it? Is the injury serious?"
Wang Hao smiled with a cold sweat on his head and said: "Fortunately, it is already a little tired, otherwise even if I harden my muscles, it can still poke a hole in me."
As he spoke, he showed his covered abdomen to everyone. Wang Hao's abdomen was red, and there was even a small blood hole in the center that began to bleed. Chu Ling felt relieved. After all, he had only heard about it before.
Only now did he truly see how powerful the hardened muscles were. An attack that would penetrate a normal person could only poke a small hole in his body.
Seeing that Wang Hao was fine, Chu Ling turned around and asked Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, what happened? What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xi fell into Ruixue's arms and gasped weakly. Ruixue answered for her: "Her powers collapsed."
"Crash? Isn't it a backlash?" Chu Ling asked in surprise.
At this moment, the monsters outside began to hit the ice wall crazily, and the ice wall that protected everyone began to crack.
Ruixue's face became paler and paler, and she said in a weak but still cold tone: "I'm almost reaching my limit."
Chu Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Wang Hao also sighed and said: "It's not as good as God. We have tried our best."
Just when everyone was exhausted and at their wits' end, the door to the room finally opened slowly, and a beam of bright light shone in. As soon as the three monsters saw the light, they quickly retreated into the shadows of the innermost corner.
I saw Tanaka Suzuno slowly walking in with a tactical spotlight on her head. She looked around and saw the ice wall where Chu Ling and others were hiding. At this time, the ice wall was on the verge of breaking, and Chu Ling had already passed through the wall.
The crack saw her.
"Hey, young man, you beauties, are you still angry? Come out, hurry up." Tanaka Suzuno joked.
When several people heard what Tanaka Suzuno said, they felt relieved. Wang Hao then asked Chu Ling: "How is it?"
Chu Ling shook his head and said: "It's okay, those three monsters are hiding inside. It seems that we guessed wrong. Those three monsters are not afraid of fire, but of light."
While they were talking, Ruixue also lifted the ice wall.
Suddenly, Suzuno Tanaka came over and said, "But flames can indeed cause harm to them, huh? Why is it so serious? It shouldn't be. Come, let me help you up."
Wang Hao asked Tanaka Reino: "Didn't you say there is no life-threatening danger? If you had come in a little later, we would all have died on the spot."
After hearing this, Tanaka Suzuno was silent for a while, and then said: "Indeed, each room has instruments to detect your life indicators. When your life indicators drop below the standard line, the protection program will automatically start. This
You should know very well that you are a repeater."
"But the problem is no, our team is still below the standard line in this state?" Wang Hao asked rhetorically.
"Yes, it's strange. Logically speaking, you should have been protected by the protection program a long time ago, but when I entered your room, I checked your life indicators first, but it showed that your vitality was much higher than
Standard line." Suzuno Tanaka said doubtfully, "I almost wanted to come in late, but luckily. Is there something wrong with the machine? It's impossible, the maintenance department just checked it yesterday."
"Haha, then teacher, you'd better report it to your superiors. If those of us with no influence are dead, I guess you can easily deal with it; if someone from a family with supernatural powers comes in next time, I guess you will also be in trouble."
Wang Hao said with a sneer.
Tanaka Suzuno said apologetically: "I will report this matter to the superiors. I am really sorry this time. Okay, let's talk about it when we go out."
Several people helped each other out of the dark room. Chu Ling then looked at Lin Xi who was being supported by Suzuno Tanaka and asked, "Is she okay? Is there any danger of backlash from the supernatural powers?"
"Backlash? This is not a backlash, but a collapse. Can't you tell?" Tanaka Suzuno said in surprise.
"Um, what the hell is a power collapse?" Chu Ling asked awkwardly.
Seeing everyone looking at him like an idiot, Chu Ling had no choice but to touch his hair. Tanaka Suzuno said at the right time: "You have been studying here for a month and you don't even know this? How did you pass the exam? This
It should be something that should be taught in the first class upon enrollment.”
"Um..." Chu Ling thought to herself that I really didn't listen very carefully. I was all testing my powers in that class. Who knows what was being taught.
"You know, right? Ability backlash is a phenomenon of damage caused by the body being unable to withstand the impact of EDE." Wang Hao explained at this time, "But under normal circumstances, we rarely have supernatural backlash.
Because our bodies are very powerfully affected by EDE, we also have strong adaptability and tolerance to EDE. If we want to cause a backlash, we must
This is possible only if you concentrate your efforts to induce a large amount of EDE at once, causing the body to be unable to bear it or have no time to adapt."
Chu Ling nodded dully like a novice. He still knew EDE, which is the academic name of extra-dimensional energy. The full name is Extradimensional Energy, or EDE for short.
At this time, Wang Hao continued: "The collapse of superpowers is a problem that often occurs to us. If the backlash of superpowers is that the body cannot bear EDE, then the collapse of superpowers means that the mind cannot use EDE. To use superpowers, we need the brain to call it
EDE, when the amount of EDE is enough to activate the superpower, we can use the superpower. However, calling EDE is a very expensive thing, and long-term battles will cause the superpower user's mental power to continue to be consumed.
When the remaining mental power of the superpower user can no longer mobilize enough EDE, then you will no longer be able to use your superpower. This is the collapse of the superpower. In this state, you are equivalent to an ordinary person who is extremely mentally weak.
people."
"So, you are still far away. When you use superpowers for a long time, you will develop an intuition, which allows you to roughly calculate how much mental power you have left, how many times you can use superpowers, etc.
Wait. These are all things you must learn." Tanaka Suzuno educated.
Then she led a few people to a side room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw doctors and nurses coming and going. Chu Ling saw at a glance that the other two teams were already receiving treatment here, and there were many people she didn't know.
They were probably from other letter teams. The strange thing was that their injuries were obviously much lighter than those of his own team.
"Okay, go take care of your wounds. I think you are in good spirits." Tanaka Suzuno said jokingly.
Several people then began to treat the wounds under the guidance of the nurse, but Ruixue's freezing was really powerful, making people feel no pain at all.
The doctors and nurses here all have a certain level of medical knowledge and have special powers in healing. Therefore, after the wounds of Chu Ling and others are treated, they only need to rest for a period of time.
After everyone had finished dealing with it, Tanaka Suzuno said: "Okay, you guys just have a good rest for a few days. I will also report the situation to the above by the way. We will continue training when the injuries are healed. Let's disband."

I think the words "super energy" are a bit awkward to pronounce, so I thought of giving it a nickname. However, it is basically not used, only some research characters will talk about it.
