Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 987: Chapter 380: Comprehending Runes, Floating Island

In the following time, Liang Yuan focused on studying the Sealing Rune and Investigation Rune.

Judging from their structure, the complexity of the Sealing Rune far exceeds that of the Investigation Rune.

It only took half a day for Liang Yuan to master the Investigation Rune.

But for the Sealing Rune, it took Liang Yuan a full day and a half to barely grasp it.

With the mastery of both runes, Liang Yuan immediately activated the Investigation Rune within himself.

As his superpower operated, his eyes quickly emitted a strange brilliance.

In the depths of his pupils, runes flickered, and the Investigation Rune rapidly condensed.

Liang Yuan looked around the sky, and immediately he could see strands of energy floating in the sky.

"So, these are superpowers?"

In the sky, the energy varies in strength, like colorful flowing clouds, spreading all around.

Following the source of this energy, Liang Yuan continuously gazed upwards.

A thick, dark layer of clouds obscured the sky, and this superpower energy seemed to be falling from above the clouds.

"Is this energy coming from the sky?"

"If I could pass through these thick clouds, maybe I could see what’s up there."

Liang Yuan marveled in his heart, retracting his gaze, clearly sensing the energy concentration in the sky was far greater than the one around him.

Then he carefully observed the energy distribution around again and quickly noticed that in the northwest direction, the superpower energy concentration was unusually dense, far surpassing the other directions.

The direction in which the Golden Armor Warship was advancing was also precisely northwest.

"That direction... is it Mist City?"

Liang Yuan pondered, operating the Investigation Rune, rendering his eyes comparable to the Spiritual Ability Detection Compass, capable of swiftly distinguishing places of varying spiritual power strength.

Liang Yuan then looked at everyone on the ship, first gazing at Han Xiangman on the watchtower.

Han Xiangman had a considerable superpower concentration on her, and Liang Yuan estimated that her highest attribute should be around 40 points.

Then Liang Yuan shifted his gaze to Qiu Yingyue, commanding the ship on the deck.

Her superpower concentration was slightly stronger than Han Xiangman’s, with the highest attribute point likely over 43 among the Four Major Attributes.

Liang Yuan looked at everyone, feeling the superpower energy’s strength within each, adjusting his understanding, finely proportioning the superpower strength and attribute’s strength.

"Wait, although the Investigation Rune can see the concentration of superpower energy within others, it can’t distinguish their superpower attributes."

Liang Yuan frowned, realizing this inability to discern the opponent’s superpower attribute was a bit of a flaw.

It’s crucial to know whether a superpower user with high attributes excels in defense or attacking, as those are completely different combat styles.

Once engaged in battle, the difference is substantial.

A careless mistake might lead to an unforeseen failure.

Liang Yuan glanced at the skill bar.

At this moment, the Investigation Rune had already appeared in the skill bar.

[Investigation]: Investigate superpower energy strength

Skill Quality: White

Skill Requirements: Spirit 4 points, Constitution 3 points.

Skill Effect: Investigate the superpower strength within the target or the distribution of superpower energy strength in the air.

Note: This skill cannot investigate the Genetic Species Awakened.

Liang Yuan slightly shook his head: "A White Skill can only probe the energy strength of superpower users below the genetic species; that’s its limit."

"The alarm device of the Investigation Device probably incorporates additional rune design techniques, exceeding the device’s detection limit will trigger an automatic alarm."

"In this way, it seems to be an alternative method to detect genetic species experts."

The Investigation Rune faded from Liang Yuan’s eyes, having essentially grasped its function.

He then reactivated his spiritual power.

In an instant, spiritual power condensed, remaining within his body, and delving into his Qi and Blood.

As his spiritual power merged with his body, and his Qi and Blood circulated, merging, they quickly formed special patterns on Liang Yuan’s body.

Concurrently, Liang Yuan’s superpower aura continuously diminished.

Within seconds, Liang Yuan’s aura became like that of a normal person.

No superpower energy aura could be sensed from him anymore.

Liang Yuan closed his eyes to feel it, and couldn’t help but curve his lips in a smile.

"If the Sealing Rune is applied to oneself, it can seal internal energy, hiding my strength."

Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered, eyes gleaming, suddenly raising his fist, lightly punching into the void!

"Woo—"

A muffled sound of Qi Burst exploded; this punch was a pure burst of physical force, without any superpower energy.

On the surface of Liang Yuan’s fist, there faintly gathered and circulated Qi and Blood, transforming into peculiar runes.

"And applying the Sealing Rune externally, my fist acquires the power of the Sealing Rune, easily breaking through the enemy’s superpower energy shield!"

Buzz—!

Liang Yuan waved his hand, tossing out a Spirit Turtle Shield Talisman Stone.

The Talisman Stone activated, forming a transparent Spirit Turtle Shield.

At this moment, Liang Yuan threw a punch, instantly activating the sealing rune on his fist, piercing through the Spirit Turtle Shield with a punch.

The energy field of the Spirit Turtle Shield was immediately broken by the Sealing Rune!

Liang Yuan laughed, retracting his fist.

"This punch can be called the [Sealing Energy Fist]!"

Since the Sealing Rune can be applied to superpower weapons, it naturally can be used on the body.

When Liang Yuan condenses the Sealing Rune externally, his attacks carry the sealing power.

While applying the Sealing Rune internally, it suppresses his own superpower, even hiding it from the Investigation Rune.

Of course, ordinary people certainly cannot play such tricks with the Sealing Rune.

The foundation of this is because Liang Yuan possesses the [Genetic Transformation] talent!

He used the genetic template of Sealing Energy Algae to simulate its genetic structure, and operated the Sealing Rune within his body, naturally with ease!

Ordinary Superpower Users cannot achieve this!

Liang Yuan opened the attribute panel and checked the skills bar.

Sure enough, the Sealing Rune had already appeared in the skill list.

[Sealing Energy]: Life Attribute Superpower

Skill Quality: Green

Skill Requirements: Spirit 15 points, Constitution 15 points

Skill Effect: Spiritual Power and Qi and Blood unite to condense the Sealing Rune, halting the internal operation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit in organisms, thereby creating a sealing effect.

"Green skill!"

Seeing the skill panel introduction, Liang Yuan was taken aback.

This Sealing Rune skill is actually a Green Quality skill!

So far, among the many superpower skills Liang Yuan had mastered, only [Puppet Threads] and [Parasite Species] had reached Green Quality.

Unexpectedly, he now obtained another Green Quality skill!

"No wonder, even though I awakened the Genetic Species, the Sealing Rune still has an effect on me. It’s a Green Quality skill."

Liang Yuan was thrilled, as it meant he could use this skill against superpower users who had awakened Genetic Species in the future.

Liang Yuan pondered further and suddenly noticed something else.

The attribute of the [Sealing Energy] skill is, surprisingly, a Life Attribute Superpower!

Up to now, Liang Yuan had encountered various types of skills.

It was the first time he encountered a skill with a Life Attribute.

"Is Life also considered a separate attribute?"

He suddenly thought of Wang An’s healing superpower, wondering if it was considered a Life Attribute Superpower.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just as Liang Yuan was immersed in the peculiarities of the Sealing Rune, the sound of knocking came from outside the door.

Liang Yuan snapped back to reality and looked towards the door, where he saw Qiu Yingyue standing.

"Mr. Liang, we’re almost there."

Her cold and pretty face showed a hint of excitement.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately looked at the water outside the door.

He saw that, at some point, a layer of mist-like thin gauze had appeared on the water’s surface.

Liang Yuan’s eyebrows slightly raised, and he asked, "What are these mists?"

"I don’t know, but encountering these mists means we are about to arrive at Mist City." Qiu Yingyue said excitedly.

Liang Yuan frowned slightly, "Didn’t you say it takes three days? It’s only been a little over two days, and we’re already here?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yingyue explained, "Mist City is not fixed. It can drift with water waves, causing its position to change. We might have caught up with its drifting route."

Liang Yuan suddenly recalled the information he received from Meng Qin!

"Floating Island!"

"According to Meng Qin, the spiritual power strength of a Floating Island is significantly higher than other places."

"So this Mist City is actually a Floating Island?"

"This means that the Spiritual Ability Sect’s search by using the Spiritual Ability Detection Compass wasn’t a coincidence."

"They actually detected the spiritual anomalies of a Floating Island, which is why they came here?"

Liang Yuan became very interested in Mist City.

Why was the spiritual power so abundant in Mist City?

How could it float on the water without sinking silently?

Could it be another existence like Turtle Island?

Various questions emerged in his mind as Liang Yuan looked around at the mist, saying immediately, "Go get Meng Qin, I have questions for him."

Qiu Yingyue acted at once, ordering someone to bring Meng Qin over.

It wasn’t long before Meng Qin was brought over.

"Mr. Liang, you wanted to see me?" Meng Qin said with a flattering smile.

Liang Yuan asked, "Did you say earlier that the Floating Island is abundant in spiritual power?"

"Uh, yes, yes."

"Tell me more about the characteristics of the Floating Island."

Meng Qin scratched his head, "Floating Islands are uncommon. I’ve only heard about them in conversations with others."

"The size of a Floating Island isn’t fixed. Some can be dozens of kilometers in circumference, whereas others are only a few dozen square meters."

"But, whenever a Floating Island appears, it inevitably leads to turmoil and bloody battles."

"I heard the Guangfu Military possesses a Floating Island, and the Earth Mother Sect also has a small Floating Island, which supposedly only core members can access."

"Doesn’t the Spiritual Ability Sect and the Water God Sect have one?" Liang Yuan asked.

Meng Qin hesitated for a moment, "I don’t know. Some say they do, others say they don’t. But during my time at the Spiritual Ability Sect, I never heard about a floating island within the sect; perhaps there isn’t one."

Clearly, Meng Qin didn’t have a high status in the Spiritual Ability Sect, so he wasn’t privy to core secrets.

Unfortunately, the captain of the Golden Armor Warship, Huo Yuandu, was killed by Qiu Yingyue. Otherwise, he could’ve asked him.

Given his position of controlling a ship, he might know more than an ordinary crew member like Meng Qin.

Liang Yuan asked, "Besides floating on the water, does a Floating Island have other characteristics? For example, is it shrouded in mist?"

"Ah? This... Floating Islands indeed have different characteristics. Some are ablaze with eternal flames, often spewing fire."

"Others resemble perpetual spring, with lush vegetation hosting various mutated species."

"Some are enveloped in auroras, appearing like an ethereal dream."

"I’ve even heard that the Earth Mother Sect’s Floating Island not only floats above water but can also hover above the surface and soar away."

"As for Floating Islands shrouded in mist, I’ve not heard of them, but it’s certainly possible."
