Yang Shenmin endured the pain in his back and asked, "Mr. Liang, please speak."
Liang Yuan looked around at Elder Lin and the others.
Elder Lin was an astute old man and immediately reacted, quickly saying, "You all chat, you all chat."
He turned around, pulled Shi Haizhu back, and scolded the others, "What are you all looking at? It’s so late, don’t you need to sleep?"
"Hurry home, your wives and children must be worried to death."
Everyone quickly reacted, those not seriously injured hurriedly got up and left the bedroom.
Those with severe injuries still lay in the living room, waiting for Yang Shenmin to treat them.
After a while, only Liang Yuan, Yang Shenmin, and Tang Ying, who was responsible for fixing Yang Shenmin’s bones, were left in the room.
Liang Yuan got straight to the point and said, "Dr. Yang, I have two questions to ask you."
"What ability did you awaken?"
Yang Shenmin reluctantly stretched out his right hand, a layer of golden light flowed on his hand, but it was hard to tell what ability it was.
At first glance, it seemed somewhat like Elder Lin’s Golden Light Technique, but it was not as dazzling as Elder Lin’s.
Liang Yuan stared closely at the golden light, only feeling a sharp, piercing sensation from it.
Tang Ying was also stunned, her eyes fixed on the golden light.
Yang Shenmin felt the golden light and said, "Can you give me a knife or some other type of metal?"
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and handed a crowbar to Yang Shenmin.
Yang Shenmin held the crowbar, closed his eyes, and in the next moment, the golden light spread out from his hand, rapidly covering the entire crowbar.
In an instant, the crowbar seemed to melt in the golden light, transforming its shape.
In a flash, it changed from a rod to a sharp sword.
The blade of the sword even emitted layers of metallic cold light, with a feeling of sharpness enveloped in the golden light.
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered and he said, "Your power can change the shape of metal?"
Yang Shenmin slightly nodded, "It seems not only that. Changing the shape of metal is just one aspect. With the enhancement of my golden light, this sword becomes even sharper."
As he spoke, he raised his arm and casually swung the sword at the wooden bedside table next to him.
Though he didn’t seem to exert much force, the long sword easily sliced off a corner of the bedside table, as if it were cutting tofu.
The whole process appeared exceptionally effortless and easy.
Liang Yuan immediately understood and said, "Changing metal shape, increasing sharpness, this ability is very practical."
"No wonder you could effortlessly cut off the Frog Monster’s tongue at that time."
Yang Shenmin started coughing, seemingly touching his wound, he put down the sword, and the sword, made of steel, lost its golden light, instantly becoming a plain, ordinary steel sword.
He smiled bitterly, "If it weren’t for you saving me, Mr. Liang, I would have already died in that monster’s mouth."
Speaking of this, he looked up at Liang Yuan and solemnly said, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, you’ve saved me once again."
Liang Yuan was puzzled.
Yang Shenmin said, "If you hadn’t come, Deng Hu would have killed Elder Lin and us sooner or later."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "With your awakened ability now, even if Deng Hu comes back to life, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly."
"But who can guarantee I would awaken before he made a move." Yang Shenmin sighed.
Since the big flood until now, he hadn’t awakened.
If it weren’t for the Frog Monster trying to harm Zhuzi and triggering his emotions, he wouldn’t have awakened this power in a moment of excitement.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t know when he could awaken.
Liang Yuan said, "I guess even without that Frog Monster, any external stimulation could potentially lead you to the awakening phase."
"Huh? How could it be?" Yang Shenmin was astonished and somewhat puzzled.
Liang Yuan shook his head, "Do you have the Spirit Stone that Elder Lin mentioned on you?"
Yang Shenmin was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Yes, actually that Spirit Stone was first discovered by me and my people, and then I told Elder Lin."
"This thing is useless to us ordinary people, only Superpower Users like Elder Lin can absorb the energy within."
"I kept one and made it into a pendant, thinking that if I encounter a Superpower User in the future, perhaps I could exchange this for something."
As he spoke, he subconsciously reached for the Spirit Stone at his chest.
However, as he touched it, he found only a string left on his neck, the Spirit Stone was long gone!
He couldn’t help but be stunned, "Huh? Where is my Spirit Stone?"
Liang Yuan said, "It seems you experienced a lucky coincidence."
"During your awakening, that Spirit Stone was activated and directly absorbed by you."
Liang Yuan recalled the scene at that time and said, "You were close to death then, I tried to help you by relieving the pressure but the strength of that Frog Monster’s tongue was immense, I couldn’t stop it, only managed to reduce a small part of the force."
"It was the life-threatening stimulation that activated the mutant gene within you, awakening your mutant power."
"However, given the situation at the time, if it wasn’t an ability like Shi Haizhu’s defensive power that you awakened, you definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand the heavy blow from the Frog Monster’s tongue."
"It was that Superpower Stone that was activated and absorbed by you while you were injured, rapidly compensating your mutant energy, greatly enhancing your life force."
"Additionally, I suspect this stone might also be a factor in inducing your awakening."
Yang Shenmin was shocked, his mouth open wide, "This... this Superpower Spirit Stone has such a use?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "This is just my speculation, there’s no solid evidence."
He stood up and said, "I’ve asked my questions, you rest well."
