Chapter 46: Is it possible to absorb mental attacks?

After seeing the spaceship distancing itself, the young man sighed bitterly and turned his gaze to the old man.

"Old Hu, I always believed the rumors about you, that you were rude and arrogant, but today I saw it: you are a true doctor. I admire you!"

Thinking that, in the past, he didn’t like this doctor much, believing that he only cared about himself, the young man couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

At the moment of truth, only the old man truly chose to stand on the side of justice, to follow his principles, even risking his life.

While those who talked so much didn’t even hesitate and boarded that flying saucer, abandoning their oath as doctors.

"Just wait!" the old man said to the young man, while his gaze fixed on the sky.

"Huh? Wait for what?" the young man was confused.

"Argh... Gr..."

A zombie appeared a few meters away from the two, scaring the young man, who quickly pulled Old Hu.

But it seemed the old man didn’t want to be taken.

"Damn it, Old Hu, the zombie is coming! Run!" the young man immediately let go of him and ran off.

However, Old Hu seemed like a statue, still looking at the sky.

Seeing that the zombie was close to Old Hu, the young man stopped, clenched his teeth, picked up a stone, and went back toward the creature.

"Die!"

When the zombie was about to bite Old Hu, the young man hit the creature’s skull with the stone several times in a row.

BANG! BANG!

After several hits with the stone, the zombie was finally killed.

The young man, however, immediately vomited upon seeing his body covered in blood, which had splattered from the zombie.

Recovering quickly, he looked at Old Hu and scolded him.

"Old Hu, what the hell was that? Did you want to die, damn it!"

Thinking that he almost died because Old Hu stood still, he couldn’t help but feel extremely irritated.

This scolding made Old Hu come back to his senses, and he was instantly stunned.

"They didn’t save me? Wasn’t that a test?"

Previously, realizing Luo Yang’s condition, he began to calculate in his mind that everything was nothing more than a test.

After all, who would ask a doctor to abandon his medical ethics in exchange for being saved?

It was probably a way for that mysterious supreme commander to assess who deserved to be saved.

Those who understood that there are things more important than life itself!

Although he wasn’t one of those people, he immediately joined the young man, believing this was the test.

But it seemed that he was completely wrong!

This was not a test!

Thinking about this, he started running while shouting to the sky: "Wait, I want to go too! I accept your conditions!"

Seeing Old Hu shouting while running, the young man was stunned for a minute, but soon he saw countless zombies running toward Old Hu.

"I did the best I could! He courted death himself," the young man clenched his teeth and headed back toward the hospital.

Due to Old Hu’s screams, which attracted zombies from all directions, there was no obstacle in his path until he reached the hospital.

***

After the flying saucer landed on the first floor of the spaceship, Luo Yang ordered Peng Xiaohu to take the doctors to the clinic on the seventh floor and explain their work.

After that, the flying saucer took off again and went straight to the hangar to park.

...

After ordering the armed guards to disperse, Luo Yang noticed Gu Mingyue wearing her tight combat uniform, standing respectfully a few meters away.

She immediately stepped forward, about to report something, but he was faster.

"Gu Mingyue, launch a mental attack on me with 30% of your strength!"

This was the idea he had while testing his talent at the hospital during the day.

After all, his talent can absorb any type of energy.

So, he wondered: could he absorb attacks related to the mind and soul?

After all, it’s still a type of energy!

If he couldn’t, that would be a weakness. Imagine, for example, if one day someone with a talent similar to Gu Mingyue’s appeared.

If he were careless, he could be killed or, worse, mentally controlled by the opponent!

"Ah?" Gu Mingyue was confused when she heard the supreme commander’s order.

"I said to attack me with 30% of your strength!" Luo Yang repeated.

He specified 30% of her strength because, if his talent couldn’t absorb the attack, he wouldn’t dare endure a full mental attack from Gu Mingyue, even though both of them were first-order evolvers.

This is an SS-level talent!

And the most terrifying part was what Gu Mingyue had said the day they met:

"My talent, although of SS level, is superior to almost everyone else’s at the same level."

"This is because, while other talents transform mental energy into power, mine uses the very mental energy itself!"

An example is Jiang Huo.

To create his purple crystals, he conjures them with mental energy, but when transforming one energy into another, there are always losses.

But Gu Mingyue’s talent doesn’t need to transform mental energy to use its power; she purely uses mental energy.

This makes her talent almost as strong as an SSS-level talent!

However, Gu Mingyue didn’t attack as soon as he spoke.

"Commander, did I do something wrong?" Gu Mingyue showed a regretful expression.

"Ah?" Now it was Luo Yang’s turn to be confused.

"Asking me to attack you is clearly a punishment. I’d rather die than cause harm to the supreme commander!" Gu Mingyue said, with her eyes almost tearing up.

"If the supreme commander thinks I did something wrong, why not kill me? Wouldn’t that be lighter?" Gu Mingyue continued.

"...", Luo Yang continued looking at her presentation, growing impatient. "Enough with the drama, just attack me already!"

Upon hearing the order, as if by magic, Gu Mingyue’s expression returned to normal, and she immediately raised her arm.

Then, a mental energy, almost invisible to the human eye, headed toward Luo Yang.

Seeing Gu Mingyue’s movements, Luo Yang subconsciously closed his eyes, prepared to endure the pain, until a few seconds later, he opened them.

’Oh, I didn’t feel anything!’, thought Luo Yang.

At the same time, he turned his attention to his dimensional space.

Upon noticing that an energy started to emerge, as if it had been absorbed, Luo Yang couldn’t help but feel happy.

It really works!

However, in the next second, his expression darkened.
