I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse
Chapter 308. “…”

Chapter 308: 308. “...”

To be honest, when Anna was eating her own vegetables back then, she couldn’t really sense the amount of essence. But after she had awakened her abilities and looked at her vegetables that she planted, she could see that the amount of essence was scarce but still existed.

It was one of the reasons why Anna had to eat several of them before she was able to touch the door in her mind.

That was magical.

But after that, her improvement could be said to be relatively smooth.

Anna looked at Old Master Daniels with regret. If only it was possible for her to see these essences in living people, she might be able to help Old Master Daniels to awaken his abilities too.

At the very least, this would help him to protect himself.

"I see." Dylan looked at the box and silently opened it. He had been wondering why his grandfather put a large box on the table and then took one of the bottle out. The bottle was small and the liquid inside was also small.

Beside them, Anna looked at the liquid and then tilted her head. The concentration of the essence in this liquid was not bad. It was similar to her first vegetables back when she had only awakened her ability.

Now that a month had passed and Anna kept on practicing, the amount of essence in her vegetables had naturally increased by leaps and bounds. It was no longer the same as how it used to be.

At least, it was already five times of this liquid in front of her.

And if she only focused on adding more essence, she could add up to 10 times. It was just that she would feel more exhausted because it would expend more of her abilities.

By now, she could last nearly an hour using her abilities if it was used sparingly. But if it was used to fight...

Then she might only last for half an hour or even a quarter of hour at most.

"How is it, Anna?"

"Not good," Anna replied.

"What do you mean not good?" Old Master Daniels was speechless. "This is half as good as what your uncle has been drinking over the past month."

"So, Uncle is strong now?" Dylan asked.

Old Master Daniels nodded. "Based on the amount of energy he could use, the five base leaders have already reached the second rank. Well, this ranking has only been determined recently and after some comparison result with other official base, it was determined to be this way."

"Uh, based on the force?" Dylan asked.

"Control, force and also the amount of ability you have, which is determined by the amount you have in your body," Old Master Daniels explained.

"How do you know the amount in one’s body?" Dylan was stunned.

Could it be that they could use some kind of scanner to detect it? It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future in case these people used these scanners to detect them. After all, he was sure that he and Anna were too strong.

Old Master Daniels was speechless. "Of course not. The amount is based on how long you can use your ability. If your ability is fire, you have to maintain a fire as big as your palm for 5 minutes. If your ability is water, you have to maintain a water ball at the size of your fist for 5 minutes. If your element get smaller, then the test will be terminated at that time and it will be your rank."

Dylan and Anna: "..."

Alright, it was very simple and crude.

They thought that the researchers have been able to make some kind of device to test one’s ability, but it turned out that the test was actually a very basic test like this.

Welp, their expectation was a bit too much.

In fact, the researchers do want to make it. But they were not able to really identify this particular energy in one’s body. Their research was still very bad and even when they made the liquid, it was done through a rigorous and long process.

"Only 5 minutes?" Dylan asked another question.

He knew very well that even if he was asked to make it for half an hour, he could still do it.

Anna also blinked her eyes. Using her ability at that kind of thing could be easily done for an hour. Of course, after that her ability would be exhausted.

Her progress was faster than Dylan because she was able to absorb the essence from the air through her mental strength and also plant ability. But Dylan had to use the plants she made during her practice.

His stomach has a limit, so he could only stop practicing from time to time.

It was Anna who could practice for a long period of time as long as her mental strength was able to sustain her practice.

Old Master Daniels glared at the two brats. "5 minutes are not easy, you brat! The last of the five leaders have only managed to reach 5 minutes yesterday, which is why they wanted to announce it to the world."

Anna and Dylan: "..."

I see.

It seemed that their improvement, at least in this base, was already better than the leader of the base.

Though, it would not erase the chance that other people might be able to awaken their abilities and used other things to speed up their practice. After all, these essences could be found in many places.

Plants in area rich of essence will also have a lot of these essences.

Animals who ate these plants will also have a lot of these essences.

If humans ate it... their abilities will improve.

So, Anna and Dylan was not complacent and still honestly train their abilities as much as possible.

"How about the third rank?" Dylan asked.

"Well, they said that they wanted to make it to be 20 minutes," Old Master Daniels replied. "After that, it’s 1 hour for the fourth rank, but there was still some hesitation. The fifth rank was still under debate because they are not entirely sure about the future."
