Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Energy Density

He would only be able to differentiate the effects of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures after he had actually obtained them and ingested them. Some could increase physical strength, some could boost defensive power, and others could accelerate Zhang Yanhang’s digestion speed. In any case, they all brought various benefits and were guaranteed not to have any poisonous side effects.

"So, I choose Option Three, the mutated Black plum," Zhang Yanhang felt that this time, the Multiple Choice adventure option was very user-friendly. He didn’t even need to leave his house. He could just stay home and wait for the delivery of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which was unprecedentedly convenient.

"It would be great if all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could be delivered to my door in the future. Then I would definitely save a lot of effort."

Although Zhang Yanhang didn’t waste much time and energy when looking for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures because he received help and blessings from Multiple Choice,

he would certainly prefer not having to run around. After all, idly lying in bed was definitely more comfortable than running.

Having selected the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for the day, Zhang Yanhang stretched and yawned in bed. He had actually been lying there for a while, since scrolling through TikTok while lying down was a standard practice for modern young people.

"Although it’s not even eleven o’clock, and it feels a bit early for sleeping now, it shouldn’t be a problem. As long as I can remain asleep until two in the morning, if I sleep now, I will have to wait until almost three o’clock to wake up."

As he spoke, Zhang Yanhang used his phone to turn off the main light in the bedroom. The bedroom, which already had the curtains drawn, was plunged into total darkness, with only the phone screen emitting a faint glow.

No, that was not entirely accurate to say because, besides the glow from the phone screen, Zhang Yanhang’s pupils were also involuntarily emitting a faint Spirit Light, a feature that didn’t have much to do with his promotion to the Second Tier. It was a strange characteristic that all cultivators would get as soon as they entered the threshold, without knowing what use it served.

Indeed, it wasn’t particularly useful, but some scholars found after research that this faint Spirit Light could allow some cultivators who were naturally sensitive to energy Perception to see the surrounding energy density with their naked eyes.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Zhang Yanhang. He relied on the additional abilities of the Limitless Universe Skill to perceive energy density. However, that was only in the early stages. After obtaining Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, Zhang Yanhang began to use its Perception to detect energy density in his surroundings.

Because Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’s Perception was more intuitive and allowed one to see the specific flows of energy, whereas the Limitless Universe Skill’s additional ability only allowed a vague sense of where in the environment had higher energy densities.

In principle, the ability to sense energy density with the Limitless Universe Skill was mainly used to help cultivators find the most suitable places in the environment to practice cultivation, while the ability to perceive energy flows with Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil was primarily meant for observing an enemy’s attacks during battle.

So, undoubtedly, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’s Perception would be more effective and clear because only by clearly sensing the enemy’s next mode and direction of attack could Zhang Yanhang make predictions and use these predictions to dodge, counterattack, or disrupt the opponent’s moves in battle tactics.

Unfortunately, although Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil could observe the direction of movement of an enemy’s muscle fibers and did have the ability to observe the energy flow inside the enemy, Zhang Yanhang hadn’t had a chance to experience this ability in battle yet because the monsters he had encountered so far didn’t possess the ability to launch energy attacks.

But Zhang Yanhang felt that he might be able to experience the capability of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in this regard when he went to the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, as he had detected energy fluctuations in higher-rank Crimson Iron Ants, despite the weakest Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants not having any energy.

So, logically, if they had energy fluctuations, they must also have the means to use energy for attacks.

Lying in bed, Zhang Yanhang quietly turned off his phone screen and closed his eyes to try to fall asleep. But perhaps because he wasn’t tired at all, it took him about ten minutes after closing his eyes to fully fall into slumber.

Honestly, if it had taken any longer, Zhang Yanhang might have even started to wonder if he was suffering from insomnia. After all, when he used to sleep in the Ashen World, he could usually enter a state of sleep within five minutes, and sometimes it could take as little as one minute.

Around midnight, piercing screams penetrated through several thick, well-insulated walls and accurately reached Zhang Yanhang’s bedroom.

Yet, Zhang Yanhang continued to sleep soundly, showing no signs of being disturbed by the noise, and even seemed to smile mysteriously, as if dreaming of something.

Around one o’clock in the morning, a strange energy fluctuation flickered near the window of Zhang Yanhang’s bedroom. If he had been awake, he might have felt a chilling breeze from it. Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang remained sound asleep, showing no signs of waking.

Because of the protection of the Energy Shield while sleeping, Zhang Yanhang always lacked any guard against his surroundings. After all, if an opponent could shatter the Energy Shield in one blow, he felt there was no need to resist; he couldn’t win either way.

At around one-thirty in the morning, a series of trivial collision noises occurred near the window of Zhang Yanhang’s bedroom, accompanied by the sounds of metal, plastic, and glass. It was very chaotic and even included some odd rummaging sounds.

These sounds were very faint to the average sleeping person, but for a Second Tier Awakened like Zhang Yanhang, it was just the same. After all, when he slept, not even an alarm clock could wake him, let alone such slight noises.

Well, the main reason was actually that Zhang Yanhang subconsciously used his Energy Shield to reduce and block some of the meaningless environmental noise while sleeping, allowing him to have a more peaceful slumber.
