Chapter 240: Chapter 189: What Good is Healing Ability If You Can’t Break Through Defense?

In the deep, dark seabed.

Chen Yun slowly awoke from his slumber.

Surrounding him was a quiet and mysterious world, starkly different from the clamor of land above.

There was no flow of air, no sunlight shining down, but life was not absent in this place.

The seawater enveloped him with a gentle force, as if it were the softest cradle in the universe.

His consciousness gradually became clear, without the suffocating sensation caused by lack of breath for an extended period.

Opening his eyes, he was greeted by a dreamlike vista: the colorful coral reefs resembled the fantastical forests on Earth, with schools of fish weaving through them like meteor showers across the sky, dazzling and swift.

He felt the endless sea water swirling around him.

Chen Yun almost had the illusion that he himself had turned into an aquatic creature.

His powerful biological clock knew it was seven o’clock in the morning without needing to check the time.

This was a complete slumber evolution, and unlike the previous two evolutionary paths he chose that led to unexpected mishaps, everything had gone smoothly.

But he didn’t dwell on it for long.

Instead, he focused on the changes brought about by his eighth slumber evolution.

The first thing he did was a habitual muscle tremor exercise to feel the strength of his own body.

The result was a duration of 60 seconds, more than double his previous endurance.

His strength had also soared from less than twenty tons to a full fifty tons.

Such a doubling of power was absolutely exhilarating.

With each slumber evolution, the sensation of his physical strength increasing was something that Chen Yun found himself utterly immersed and reluctant to stop.

Then, Chen Yun released his spiritual power, returning to the always-on mode of Transparent World.

At this moment.

What caught his attention was not the increase of spiritual power coverage from three hundred meters to four hundred meters, but the definitely taller stature he perceived through his spiritual sense.

Feeling his current height and the significant increase in his robust physique, Chen Yun couldn’t help but fall silent.

This had to be... one meter eighty, right?

Had he grown again?!

Could it be that the data he recorded when making a wish to grow taller actually worked?

But he had also wished for a Biological Force Field and didn’t see himself possessing one...

Falling silent.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.

Regardless, growing taller was definitely a good thing.

Even without any actual enhancement, at least it raised his temperament and more.

Thinking this way.

Chen Yun then proceeded to test the improvements in his various abilities, confirming that his overall capabilities had been enhanced with the slumber evolution.

His super visual-range perception, thermal sight, telekinesis, and many other aspects had a noticeable increase, along with significant enhancements in vision, smell, and hearing.

This was yet another perfect evolution.

And besides, the highlight of course was the newly evolved ability.

This ability was named "Nurturing."

Somehow, he just mysteriously knew the name of this ability.

And as for its effects, Chen Yun also instinctively knew.

Thinking.

Chen Yun casually used his telekinesis to grab a fish, plucking off one of its scales on a whim.

Then, carefully sensing this new ability that had appeared out of nowhere, Chen Yun instinctively used it as naturally as controlling his own hand.

An invisible wave of energy flowed out from his hand, his spiritual power was momentarily depleted in part, and straightaway the power named "Nurturing" emerged onto the fish.

The next moment.

The fish’s lost scales visibly began to regenerate under Chen Yun’s watchful eyes.

This regeneration was not fast.

But it was clear to see that the scales were growing back bit by bit.

Clearly, this skill was akin to that of a healer, offering a healing effect.

Although he had yet to delve into specifics such as the efficiency of healing or daily usage limitations.

But at this moment, Chen Yun couldn’t help but have a subconscious doubt: this "nurturing" healing ability didn’t seem to be of much use to him.

Although a healer is important in any game.

But there’s a serious question: Chen Yun has never been truly injured since his first slumber evolution.

What does bleeding feel like?

It’s been a long while since he’d experienced that.

For him, this healing ability named "nurturing" indeed had limited significance.

But after some careful thought, Chen Yun wasn’t that disappointed.

After all, a healing ability is definitely a useful skill—just because he didn’t need it now didn’t mean he wouldn’t need it in the future. Having it was better than not.

Thinking like this,

Chen Yun looked at the fish in his hand, which was still lively and had its scales restored, with an inquisitive expression.

He was very curious about the various properties of the "nurturing" ability.

So, a test subject was needed.

...

After a long time,

looking at the fish that was now cut in half and no longer lively, Chen Yun silently put his hands together to express his gratitude.

He thanked the fish for its outstanding contribution to his experiment.

In a series of experiments on this fish,

he had roughly figured out most of the characteristics of "nurturing."

First off,

its essence seemed to be the infusion, the improvement of a certain special quality that exists somewhere beyond the surface, which Chen Yun wanted to call Life Force.

The effect of healing was just a byproduct of the improvement, the infusion of Life Force, as if increased Life Force inherently led to enhanced self-healing ability.

Otherwise, why call this ability "nurturing" instead of "healing"?

So when he sliced a big gash in the fish, the "nurturing" ability could only keep it alive but couldn’t heal the wound instantly.

But upon closer observation, the fish’s wound was healing, little by little, under the indirect influence of constantly improving Life Force provided by "nurturing."

Maybe when the strength of "nurturing" became stronger, it could actually heal the fish’s wound through a massive infusion of Life Force.

In summary, this was more of a nourishing skill than a healing skill.

Secondly, the activation of the "nurturing" skill didn’t necessarily require physical contact; it could also infuse Life Force out of thin air using spiritual power.

So Chen Yun was able to nurture remotely.

Lastly, there was a daily limit to how much he could use this "nurturing" skill.

Its power output was constant, and its duration seemed to be influenced by spiritual power. With his current spiritual power, it could only last one minute before depleting.

After drawing these conclusions,

Chen Yun opened his Memory Palace contentedly to record the data from this evolution.

[49th Record: 2024.4.16 (Lunar March 8th)]

[1. Whole-body muscle high-frequency spontaneous tremors, providing dual exercise for spirit and physique. Current endurance time: 60 seconds. Current personal strength: about 50 tons.]

[2. Changes in original physique and body structure, now stands at 180cm tall, approaching a standard fit body shape for a man of that height. Weight remained at 100kg, body shape data seem to be locked, the correlation between strength and muscle appears to be almost non-existent.]

[3. Ability upgrade—Transparent World evolved to version 4.0. Specific effects: Super Vision, Super Smell, Super Hearing, Spiritual Power [including Real-time Information Transmission, 3D perception modeling, perspective (cannot penetrate biological bodies), Emotion Perception, Telekinesis, Electromagnetic Wave Perception, Basic Version, Emotion Stimulation, Super Visual-range Perception, Soul Emergence, Linked Skill: Divine Travel (spiritual power unable to directly move a host body, consider indirectly manipulating other objects to affect the host’s movement), nurturing]]

[3.1 Spiritual Power Enhancement—Range increased from 300 meters to 400 meters, this increase of 33.3% is less than the last enhancement of 50%.]

[3.2 Telekinesis Annotation: Telekinesis is spiritual power, merely another name for the aspect of spiritual power interacting with the external world. Thus, the scope of influence is equivalent to spiritual power. Within this range, it can appear at will, and its influence can penetrate materials other than biological bodies. Frequent use can increase the intensity and proficiency of manipulation. After this evolution, force increased to 200 Newtons, accuracy unchanged.]

[3.3 Super Visual-range Perception Annotation: No limit in time or distance, but the patina refinement time is affected by mass. Evolved from the capability to maintain fifteen complete connections to twenty.]

[3.4 New Skill: Nurturing—More of a nourishing skill than a healing skill. However, it can indirectly enhance self-healing ability to achieve a therapeutic effect through the infusion of Life Force. Can be used remotely with spiritual power, with the current spiritual power can sustain output for one minute.]

[4. Thermal Sight Enhancement—From twenty seconds duration to forty seconds, an enhancement of 100%. From the sixth evolution, it has been established that regular exercise cannot enhance thermal sight intensity, but it will be affected by the overall enhancement from each evolution, thus increasing the duration to some extent.]

Looking at his increasingly exaggerated data,

Chen Yun nodded in satisfaction, feeling himself evolving more and more toward a hexagonal warrior.

It’s just a pity there weren’t more abilities for clinging to life.

If there were more abilities like Resurrection or Immortal, that would be even better.

Thinking this, Chen Yun, who had previously wished to grow taller and indeed grew taller in this evolution, resolutely started making more wishes in his heart.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, if he really could have abilities like Resurrection and Immortal, he’d be willing to make wishes ten thousand times a day.

Just as he was thinking this,

Chen Yun’s Transparent World suddenly noticed a regular-sized submarine entering his perception range not too far away.
