Chapter 40 Upgrading while lying down
"The trick lies in your will, the most minute control of every muscle in your body."
Shen You was walking back to the store, carrying a stuffed shopping bag that he had just purchased from the supermarket, and at the same time patiently educating Kara beside him.
"Listen only to what you want to hear and eliminate all other unnecessary sounds. Let your attention be focused on a single object." Shen Youyou.
Kara walked beside him, now wearing a headset-like device on her little golden head.
It was a sound isolator specially built for her by Shen You overnight, which could help her block all external sounds. If a normal person wears this thing, it is basically equivalent to being deaf. Even if someone slaps their hands in the ear with all their strength, they will not be able to hear it. But for Kara, it can only reduce her hearing to a certain extent and filter out some distant sounds.
Yes, that's right, the little Kryptonian's body is starting to grow again. This time the problem was with the ears.
In fact, the super hearing had already begun to awaken before, but it only worked intermittently. The furthest range was only able to hear an aunt a block away cursing.
But this week things seem to have worsened. The source of the sound she heard became farther and farther away, as if the sound of the entire city was filling her ears crazily like a vast ocean.
All of a sudden, the Kryptonian girl's nerves were almost overloaded. In the worst case, she almost rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.
It is impossible for ordinary people who have not experienced it to imagine what kind of pain it is. It is as if the whole world has turned into a huge engine, roaring continuously in the ears.
Shen You also has super hearing, which is of course far less exaggerated than Kryptonians covering the whole world. Moreover, he has never experienced such nerve overload due to hearing problems, because he has received systematic training and guidance from professional teachers in the Kingdom of Light since his senses began to develop, and he has been able to control his senses freely since he was a child.
Because of this, he has some experience in sensory control.
"Let's start simple. Let's focus on listening to specific content. Put all your attention on what you want to listen to and exclude everything else."
Shen You explained patiently.
Helping Kara train also helps him review the basics of various classes on his own. And watching a Kryptonian girl slowly transform from a pretty girl into a human god who can tear apart battleships in his own hands, he felt an inexplicable nurturing pleasure.
"For example, over there." Shen You pointed to a man and a woman whispering on the street corner in the distance, "Listen to what they are talking about?"
Kara took off her headphones, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and endured the noise coming from all directions, trying her best to eliminate the noise and focus on herself.
"I think I heard it."
She showed a happy expression.
"It really worked. The man was talking. He said, 'I brought tools to unclog the sewer. Do you want me to help you unclog it?'
The woman said, 'Okay, but you'd better remember to bring lubricant, I've been doing a lot of work here these past two days.'"
Kara looked at Shen You with a cute expression: "What do you mean? Did I hear something wrong? Why don't I seem to understand?"
Shen You coughed and quickly helped her put on the sound-isolating headphones again.
"You heard that right, that man is here to repair the water pipes."
Kara seemed to understand but still seemed a little doubtful, but she still nodded to express her acceptance of the statement.
The old wizard who was holding the newly bought oven box next to him spat and muttered: "The world is getting worse, the world is getting worse! Today's young people."
He shook his head as he spoke.
That night.
The old wizard held a transparent magic circle made of blue light in his hand, and in front of him was a projection made of magic energy.
That's an island.
With detailed undulations and curves, the outlines of mountains, hills, canyons and rivers can even be clearly seen through the light and shadow of the spell, and even the waves that constantly beat on the coast are vividly presented.
"Pal, have you recorded the coordinates?" Shen You asked.
"The location has been marked and the address is named 'Paradise Island'." Pal said, "A flight route plan to 'Paradise Island' is being planned."
Shen You was very satisfied and expressed his admiration in a timely manner: "It's amazing, you actually found this island shielded by the gods in such a short time."
"It's not worth mentioning. A truly great wizard is never complacent with his achievements." The old wizard stroked his beard and continued to lean back tactically. "Like me, I have guarded the mortal world for nine thousand years, suppressed countless demons, and guarded the magic of the world. 'That wizard', did I mention this?"
That’s about three thousand times a week. Shen Youxin said.
Shen You said: "By the way, about the trial we mentioned last time"
"Ha, of course it's no problem." The old wizard stroked his beard with a childish expression, "There are not many enterprising young people like you these days. Unfortunately, if you were a human being, you would definitely be the master of my divine power. Best heir"
Shen You has always been worried about the DC magic side. After all, he doesn't understand the principle of this thing very well. If I have the chance, I still hope to practice and strengthen my resistance to demons, or explore its operating principles and methods.
The Ultra clan has one huge advantage that many superpower systems cannot match, and that is that their abilities not only come from racial talent, but also from a systematic learning and scientific system. Based on their knowledge system, even if they encounter some abilities and phenomena that they have never seen before, they can still explore and understand them with their existing perspective.
And now that there is a top mage in DC in front of him - although his strength is no longer good, his theoretical knowledge is still top-notch, so Shen You naturally cannot let go of the opportunity to ask for advice.
"Then let's start with simple illusions." The old wizard smiled. "This is also a common control method with strong deception. It can also use the dark side of the opponent's heart to enhance the effect. Let's see how you are with this type first. "
"Okay." Shen You took a deep breath and got ready.
So the old wizard began to cast spells.
A string of words that Shen You had never heard before, chanting like sutras, accompanied by rapid changes in gestures.
The light blue light path weaved a complicated magic circle in his palm. The old wizard's eyes widened as he patted the magic circle lightly. The magic circle suddenly transformed into thousands of butterflies, floating towards Shen You, and followed Dissipated quickly.
Then the old wizard and him stared at each other for a long time.
After a long while, Shen You couldn't help but said: "Has it started?"
The old wizard kept the gesture of extending his palms, and the atmosphere became stiff for a moment.
Then he took back his palm and said dullly: "It's over."
Shen You: "?"
He looked around and made sure he was still sitting on the kitchen chair.
But nothing seems to have changed?
The old wizard was also a little confused by this reaction.
Shouldn't it?
Even if you are facing a stronger demon or wizard, maybe the other party has powerful means and rich skills to easily resolve your spell, but it doesn't mean that you don't feel like this at all, right?
Is it possible that this foreigner's mental power is so strong that it defies heaven?
"Ahem." The old wizard coughed twice to ease the embarrassment. "It seems that you have had some mental training. This kind of pediatric spell doesn't work. It seems that you need to show some real skills."
Follow him solemnly.
"This spell is more dangerous. If you find anything wrong, blink your eyes as hard as you can. I will remove the spell immediately to avoid any negative effects."
Shen You nodded: "Okay."
So the old wizard began to cast spells again.
There was another string of unknown incantations, and at the end there was a string of vernacular.
".Supreme God, Demon God of Fear, accept my call and turn into the wave of fear!"
He shouted loudly, the light blue magic circle whirling between his palms, and a great terror came over him like an overwhelming force!
A few seconds after the spell was activated, Shen You's pupils shrank and his expression changed.
The old wizard's eyes lit up.
Ha, he knew it!
To be honest, he was really nervous when the spell just hit "HP-0".
The most powerful wizard, Thunder Shazam, even though his magic power level is at the end of a crossbow, but he just sits there and lets him fight, and when he throws his skills at them, they all miss. Where can he put his face?
It's okay, okay, it's not too embarrassing. Oh, by the way, I have to break the spell quickly. He likes this foreign guy very much, but it would be bad if he is really mentally traumatized.
As a result, before he could take the next step, Shen You suddenly stood up.
"Wait a moment, pause."
Follow Shen You as he strode through the kitchen.
"Kara? I just saw through perspective that there are green peppers in the trash can outside. Did you throw it away?"
The little girl who was memorizing words was startled, her eyes evasive: "No, no."
Shen You raised his eyebrows: "Really? Then read after me, 'The Al family never lies'."
"The Al family never. Okay, okay, I threw it."
Kara put down her textbook with a sad face.
"But it's really unpalatable. Why would humans invent something so unpalatable?"
"Don't be picky about food."
Shen You spoke earnestly, paused, and muttered.
"Besides, it's obviously so delicious."
"I was wrong, and I won't do it again." Kara admitted her mistake obediently.
After receiving the confession, Shen You nodded with satisfaction, returned to the kitchen and sat back on his chair.
"Ah, sorry for getting distracted. Let's continue. Huh? What's wrong with you?"
When he turned around, he saw that the old wizard's face had turned red.
"snort."
The old wizard snorted heavily and threw his hands.
"The wizard quits."
After that, he walked away.
Shen You: "?"
