Upon hearing the woman's words, the vagrant tilted his head back, took a sip from his gourd, and then said languidly, "Oh dear... what's the rush."
"Life is short, one should slowly experience it."
"Can't be rushed, can't be rushed..."
As he spoke, he continued to stagger forward with his wobbly steps, moving unhurriedly.
Seeing him like that, the woman was anxious but did not dare to urge him, and could only follow behind like a wife who had been wronged.
Under the setting sun, their shadows were stretched very long, very long…
Meanwhile, at the Security Bureau, Training Center.
Fang Ze was sitting there drinking Qing Ya's tea, chatting with her.
"Mentor, I've been thinking of advancing to Fuser recently, and I was wondering if you could give me some guidance?"
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Qing Ya looked at him with her beautiful eyes, somewhat distracted.
To be honest, since Fang Ze's arrival at the Security Bureau over a month ago, she had heard almost nothing but news about him.
Sometimes, she didn't even need to inquire deliberately to hear about some of his accomplishments.
Like today… Fang Ze had passed the inspection by the Neutral Faction.
Perhaps no one had told Fang Ze what this meant, but for someone like Qing Ya, who had worked at the Security Bureau for seven or eight years, the implications were clear.
The man before her, after this incident, would likely attract the attention of the higher-ups at the State Security Bureau, and then be groomed as a core seed of the Security Bureau.
And with his rapidly improving strength, Qing Ya always felt that the random thoughts previously in her mind were gradually becoming reality...
Spirit Ascension before Bai Zhi and Gu Qing?
Or even surpassing them to become the director?
These thoughts, which originally seemed like jokes,
Now seemed to be slowly coming true?
This reality, more magical than a joke, made Qing Ya somewhat lost in thought.
While Qing Ya was lost in her thoughts, Fang Ze waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Mentor? Mentor? Are you alright?"
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Qing Ya came back to her senses.
Then she looked at Fang Ze, blinked, and asked, "Was I distracted?"
Fang Ze smiled, "It was cute."
Qing Ya was momentarily startled, her ears faintly pink.
She took a sip of her tea to mask her bashfulness, then lifted her head and began to address Fang Ze's query, "You want to know about Fusers… well, I'll tell you about it."
"Actually, Fusers are not much different from Awakeners."
"It's all a process of accumulating Spirit Ascension phase resources."
"Making one's body stronger. Making one's abilities stronger."
"This way, during the vulnerable period of Spirit Ascension, you can have enough strength to protect yourself and get through the Spirit Ascension phase more swiftly."
"As for making your body stronger. Trust me, you can also think of it: continue with Body Tempering."
"Constantly refining your body, refining your spirit. Make your body and spirit stronger and stronger, and able to hold more and more Awakening Abilities."
"As for making your abilities stronger…"
Here, Qing Ya paused.
She stood up, went back to her desk, opened a drawer, and took out a document, then turned around and handed it to Fang Ze.
She was clearly a training newbie's mentor, yet she had such a document, obviously prepared especially for Fang Ze.
Opening the cover of the document and looking at the neat writing and some handmade illustrations,
Fang Ze was pretty certain: this was something Qing Ya had personally written for him recently.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze was touched as he began to read the document.
While he was reading, Qing Ya sat next to him, pointing at the content in the document, and began explaining to Fang Ze.
"Generally speaking, when Awakeners reach the Fusion stage, there are four ways to choose abilities."
"The first method is to choose whatever abilities you have."
"This is the most common way of choosing abilities for Fusers."
"After all, acquiring Awakening Abilities is not an easy task."
With that, she looked at Fang Ze, "You know about the three ways of acquiring Awakening Abilities, don't you?"
Fang Ze nodded and said, "Mental Awakening Method, Bloodline Awakening Method, and Special Awakening Method."
Qing Ya smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, that's right."
"Mental Awakening Method is the process of an Awakener communicating with the World's Laws, and it can only be used once per person."
"Bloodline Awakening Method, although it can be used multiple times, it's rare for an Awakener to have more than one type of bloodline."
"Moreover, after acquiring Awakening Abilities through Bloodline Awakening, each enhancement of those abilities is a purification process for one's bloodline."
"If multiple bloodlines are enhanced together, it can likely cause problems."
"So... at the Fuser stage, actually only the Special Awakening Method is available."
Fang Ze nodded in understanding, and then said, "So, for ordinary Awakeners, it's good enough to acquire one type of Special Awakening Method, without much choice, right?"
Qing Ya nodded, "Exactly."
However, she immediately continued, shifting her tone, "But that was about ordinary Awakeners."
"For us, official personnel of the Security Bureau, there's actually quite a bit of flexibility."
She explained, "In the Security Bureau, there are many different Special Awakening Methods stored, possessing all sorts of strange abilities."
