Inside The Black Mist

Tianyang instinctively shifted backward; the impact of that face was too powerful. He muttered, "Didn't we just check last night? How should I cooperate with you, Doctor?"

Luo Shan smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and then dropped a bombshell, "It's simple; take off your pants!"

"What?"

Tianyang almost jumped out of bed, genuinely startled.

Luo Shan burst into laughter, shaking like a flower in the wind; even the corners of her eyes became slightly moist with laughter. "It is okay, I could not resist teasing you; I have not encountered a shy guy like you in a long time. Look at how scared you got."

After controlling her laughter, Luo Shan said seriously, "There is no need for a physical examination, but I must talk to you."

Curious, Tianyang asked, "About what? Are you going to provide me with psychological counseling?"

Luo Shan shook her head. "No, I want to talk to you about the Avenger rank."

Tianyang was puzzled; how could she know about this?

Then Luo Shan pulled out a document and handed it to Tianyang. "This is a letter of appointment, approved by the Night Walker Command and the upper levels of the fortress together. I am your personal doctor as of right now, and in addition to taking care of your health, I must gather information and consult with you in order to comprehend your Avenger rank, its traits, and even the ability diagram, to the greatest extent that is feasible."

Looking at the document, which indeed contained the information Luo Shan mentioned, Tianyang nodded. The document even had the official seals of the fortress military and the Night Walker Command, so it shouldn't be forged. Moreover, very few people knew about the new rank.

Returning the document to her, Tianyang nodded. "How should I cooperate with you?"

He subconsciously adjusted his pants.

Luo Shan, noticing his gesture, chuckled. "Don't worry; there's no need to take off your pants."

"Back to the topic, last night, the Night Walker Command sent me all your recent body data, especially the information from the last recovery mission."

Luo Shan picked up a data pad, reading as she spoke, "From these data alone, it's evident that the current Avenger rank is 1. Assassin exhibits high mobility. Your movement curve far surpasses the Hunter rank, known for its agility."

"In addition, your Star Essence activity reaches its peak in a very short time, indicating a significant burst in your attacks. Overall, at this rank, you show characteristics of high mobility and explosive power."

Luo Shan lightly bit her thumb, looking at the young man. "However, the disadvantages are also quite apparent. Your physical endurance and Star Essence consumption rate are almost as high as the Elemental Core's full output. Due to this, you lack the ability for prolonged combat. Moreover, your physique lacks significant enhancement, and your body strength is even slightly inferior to the War God rank of the same level, not to mention compared with the Fortress rank."

"In future battles, pay attention to these two points. Avoid prolonged battles and major injuries."

Tianyang remembered everything she said, "I understand, Dr. Luo Shan."

Luo Shan nodded, put down the data pad, and leaned forward slightly. "So, can you tell me what abilities you currently possess?"

"I have two in total, Weakness Sensing and Instant Annihilation." Tianyang didn't hide anything, offering some explanation, "Weakness Sensing allows me to feel the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of a target. When I gaze at a target, its image fades, and its weaknesses are highlighted in my sight. However, this ability can be disrupted. For example, with the Ghost Car, initially, I couldn't sense its weaknesses at all. Only after it disabled the deflective force field that I could roughly sense it, and it became more pronounced when entering its body."

"As for the second ability, it's somewhat similar to the War God's Silver Gauntlet. It enhances my attacks. The difference is that it has obvious destructive effects. When this ability hits, the target is shattered into particles from the inside. It feels like the Star Essence transforms into some kind of energy, conducting high-frequency cutting in a short period."

Luo Shan activated the recording function of the data pad, meticulously documenting Tianyang's words. "I understand. Your descriptions are precise, saving me a lot of effort. These two abilities, combined with your mobility and explosive power, basically only end up getting hit as long as you have the opportunity. No wonder you could take down that sniper master last night."

The physician stood up and said, "Alright, let's end today's discussion. Rest well..."

"Wait." Tianyang interrupted her, "I have one more question to ask."

Luo Shan smiled. "If it's about Xun, sorry, I won't answer."

Tianyang coughed a few times after being choked by that statement before saying, "No, it's not about Xun. Dr. Luo Shan, in fact, I obtained a Sublimation Node, and it seems like it can be allocated to the heart, body, or mind domain. I don't know which area to strengthen, so I'd like to hear your opinion. Dr. Luo Shan, what's wrong..."

Suddenly, the young man realized that Luo Shan seemed frozen, as if she had heard something unimaginable.

Rapidly, she pounced over, grabbed Tianyang's shoulders somewhat rudely, and whispered, "What did you say? You obtained a Sublimation Node. This... you have such incredible luck!"

Tianyang's mouth twitched; he heard this phrase for the second time today.

"Sorry, I lost control."

Luo Shan released his shoulders, stepped back slightly, and forced a bitter smile. "You lucky kid, I think you should know what a Sublimation Node is, right? Anything related to Ascenders, we can always find answers from our brains, as if when we become Sublimationists, something directly stuffs relevant data into our heads. Unfortunately, up to now, there's no reasonable explanation for this phenomenon."

"Back to the point, the generation of Sublimation Nodes is random. According to current statistics, most Ascenders obtain their first Sublimation Node at around rank 3, and some even spend their entire lives without getting one. Someone like you, getting a node at rank 1, is simply enviable!"

Tianyang shrugged. "Hopefully, my luck won't run out all at once."

Luo Shan snorted through her nose, showing that she was quite unhappy. Still, she explained, "Before deciding which domain to enhance, you need to know the benefits of the heart, body, and mind domains."

"First is the mind. Strengthening the mind domain will make you more resilient. Your psychological endurance will far surpass others, but is that the only benefit..."
