Lu Siya told Meng Chao that due to the fact that powerful radiation could not be directly absorbed by human cells, superhumans usually did not eat crystals to cultivate.
They had to grind the crystals into powder and mix them with monster flesh and other treasures to create gene medicine. Only then could they eat or inject it into their organs and limbs.
When the Red Radiance Jade tsunami erupted, Meng Chao and Lu Siya were lucky enough to run into the Blue Origin Crystal mine and absorb two conflicting but neutralizing spirit energy. It was an incredibly rare and lucky phenomenon.
Only people with great talent and unique constitutions like Lu Siya's grandfather, Lv Zhongqi, the founder of Sky Pillar Corporation and a crystal expert had the talent to absorb spirit energy from crystals.
After Lv Zhongqi created Sky Pillar Corporation and made the Lu family strong, the second and third generation of his descendants all wanted to inherit this rare and powerful talent.
But no matter how cool they looked like their father or grandfather, none of their descendants could awaken to the exact same talent and replicate Lv Zhongqi's abilities.
At most, they could be like Lu Siya in the past and inherit part of his talent to become a Spirit Sensor.
The descendants of the Lu family did not believe in superstitions. They firmly believed that Lv Zhongqi's talent was hidden in the depths of their blood, but it had not been activated yet.
To activate their talent, they had gone through all sorts of incredibly dangerous and radical training.
Because of it, there were quite a number of people who suffered from spirit energy deviation or even died.
In that era of barbaric growth and bloody competition, they had to pay a price to maintain the strength of a powerful family.
When the Lu family and Sky Pillar Corporation gradually gained a foothold in Dragon City and the supernatural abilities of their descendants expanded into more areas, the Lu family, who had failed countless times, temporarily gave up.
But ambitious people like Lu Siya would clearly not give up on the chance to inherit her grandfather's legacy.
The increase in fighting strength brought by awakening to this talent was secondary. The key was that she could gain Lv Zhongqi's favor and trust and announce to everyone that she was the one with the most right to take over the power of the Lu family from Lv Zhongqi's hands!
"Thanks to you, the Red Radiance Jade tsunami in the Blue Origin Crystal mine changed me a lot," Lu Siya said.
"Under the ferocious spirit energy tsunami's impact, my already incredibly sharp spirit energy senses increased by another level. From then on, I could sense the crystals hidden deep in the rock strata in a subtle way.
"I feel like I can 'see' these crystals burning slowly in a unique way. And as long as I adjust my vitality magnetic field based on the jumping frequency of the spirit flames, I can naturally attract the spirit flames to me.
"Using this method, I can be like my grandfather and directly absorb the spirit energy in the crystals.
"Unfortunately, my absorption efficiency was very low in the beginning.
"Even if you carry a normal crystal the size of a fingernail with you, it will take you ten days to half a month to completely absorb the spiritual energy contained in it.
'Compared to eating monster flesh and blood and using gene medicine, this absorption method is practically meaningless.
"Therefore, I did not rashly announce this matter to the public.
"You know that the internal struggles in the Lu family are very complicated. It's not as if Sky Pillar Corporation has no opponents in the business field and in the field of power.
"In a situation where I'm still very weak, revealing such a secret is undoubtedly a path to disaster.
"I've been training quietly to increase the efficiency of absorbing spirit energy from crystals, but even after a few years, I can't find the trick to it. My improvement is very limited. In truth, this sort of talent is something that can only be obtained through luck. Even my grandfather, Lu Zhongqi, can't tell just what's going on with his ability. He can only say that it's due to luck and the fact that he's a survivor.
"But ever since I entered Hidden Fog Territory and entered the sinkhole, I was stimulated by the illusion of the super abnormal beast known as the Wisdom Tree. I felt a very unique feeling.
"It's … hunger."
When Lu Siya said this, she licked her lips and put on a hungry expression that she did not hide.
"This isn't normal hunger. It's not a burning feeling in my stomach, and it's not a problem that can be solved by eating monster flesh and blood or gene medicine.
"It's like every cell in my body has turned into a bloody mouth that leads straight to a bottomless pit. No matter how much flesh, blood, or drugs I swallow, they will never be satisfied. I have no choice but to swallow the high-level crystals that contain destructive energy whole.
"Only when I'm close to high-purity supreme-grade crystals can I slightly alleviate my hunger.
"And the efficiency of me absorbing spirit energy from crystals has increased by thirty times compared to before, and it's still increasing.
"Now, if I hold a Red Radiance Jade the size of a fist in my palm, in just five minutes, I can suck it into a normal, brittle stone that is riddled with holes. With just a light squeeze, I can crush it into powder.
"This is something that my father is really excited about.
"You know that he's in charge of Sky Pillar Minerals right now, and after we won against the monster civilization and occupied Hidden Fog Territory, we don't lack crystal mines. So, no matter how big my appetite is, I can get my fill.
"In just a short two weeks, I've already absorbed more than one hundred tons of spirit energy from crystals.
"My strength has also increased to that of a six-star spirit armor.
"Besides, I believe that you can already tell that the density of my spirit energy far surpasses that of a normal six-star spirit armor. It's already at the peak of Heaven Realm!
"In fact, I have a feeling that the peak of Heaven Realm isn't my limit. No matter how much spirit energy I absorb from crystals, the hunger only goes away temporarily. It doesn't completely disappear.
"I think that if you give me more than one hundred tons of crystals … No, if you give me more than one thousand or ten thousand tons of crystals, I can eat all of them without leaving a single drop behind. Then, I'll reach a supreme realm that no one will ever reach again!"
Lu Siya's tone was still as sharp as a drawn blade.
She did not hide her ambition and aggressiveness.
Fortunately, Meng Chao had been working with the Queen Bee for years, and he had long since gotten used to her style.
Besides, if he wanted to change Dragon City's future, he could not rely on himself to fight alone.
Before the grand Other World war that was about to begin, it was naturally a good thing for his comrades who had gone through thick and thin with him to become stronger.
Meng Chao was happy for Lu Siya from the bottom of his heart.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he still reminded her that even if her fighting strength increased by leaps and bounds, there was no need for her to be too ostentatious.
Wasn't Shen Yukun's matter a little … too flashy?
This did not mean that Meng Chao did not approve of Lu Siya injuring Shen Yukun.
After all, in the past, Lu Siya had always caused trouble for him in the business field.
Besides, Shen Yukun had gone through spirit energy deviation and gone berserk. When he attacked Lu Siya, he was ruthless and did not hold back.
If Lu Siya had not awakened to her bloodline talent and her fighting strength had increased by leaps and bounds, she might have been the one unconscious and dying.
Lu Siya was clearly not a magnanimous and kind person.
Meng Chao did not have the traditional virtue of returning good for evil either.
He just felt that even if he wanted to get rid of Shen Yukun, who was a thorn in his side, there was no need for him to do it in front of everyone's eyes.
This was Hidden Fog Region, and it was surrounded by forests, mountain valleys, rapid streams, and maze-like dimensional folds.
There was also Red Dragon River and Tiger's Rage River. They were two raging rivers that could devour people without spitting out their bones. They were entangled with each other and crashed into each other.
He could solve his personal grudges anywhere, right?
If he had to solve it in public, he could have made the scene more natural and added a little more foreshadowing and overdoing things to refine his acting skills.
Right now, if anyone with a discerning eye saw it and thought about it, it would not be difficult for them to guess that Lu Siya had intentionally let Shen Yukun out to court his own death so that she could use the opportunity to cripple his fighting strength.
It was no wonder then why Iron Tyrant Shen Yuanbao, a Deity Realm superhuman, had immediately locked onto the "culprit".
"Shen Yuanbao? Hmph, he's just an old man who's only a few decades old. In the past, he fought for the rights to mine crystals, and he practically spent every day fighting for them. He has plenty of injuries on his body, and he already has one foot in the grave. Even if he's known as Deity Realm, what's there to be afraid of? "
Lu Siya's eyes shone with a fierce light, but her lips curled up into a sly smile. "Do you think that I don't know that Shen Yuanbao has been representing Universe Corporation in Hidden Fog Region over the past few days? I did it on purpose!"
Meng Chao was a little stunned.
"You intentionally … provoked a Deity Realm superhuman?"
It was difficult for him to understand the Queen Bee's thoughts.
"What's so great about provoking a Deity Realm superhuman?"
Lu Siya smiled faintly and said, "Sit up straight and place your hands on your knees. Listen to me teach you a lesson that money can't buy. Most of the time, a suitable enemy can stimulate your growth more than a suitable friend.
"Do you think that Deity Realm superhuman Shen Yuanbao will hate me because I crippled Shen Yuanbao in public, and you're worried that he will take revenge on me, right?"
Meng Chao frowned. "Isn't that the case? Iron Tyrant Shen Yuanbao is famous for being narrow-minded and taking revenge for the smallest grievance. I reckon that he's already sharpening his blade and thinking about how to take revenge on you! "
"That's right. Shen Yuanbao definitely wants to take revenge on me, but do you think that the other Deity Realm superhumans are dead?"
Lu Siya said. "If this spreads out, Shen Yuanbao will definitely hate me, but his competitors will admire me. His mortal enemies will even support me and help me. Do you think that Shen Yuanbao is stronger, or does he have more competitors and mortal enemies?"
Meng Chao's mind raced.
Iron Tyrant Shen Yuanbao did not have a good reputation in the superhuman circle.
Although it wasn't "infamous", it wasn't far from it.
After all, he had contributed greatly to Universe Corporation when they snatched the crystal mine in the past.
The superhumans who were defeated by him in the arena and snatched away the right to mine the crystal mine would remember his "great kindness" for the rest of their lives.
Besides, there were also the close friends of the superhumans who led their mine exploration teams underground to run into Shen Yuanbao's mine exploration team from Universe Corporation. In the end, they mysteriously disappeared and were devoured by monsters.
Due to Shen Yuanbao's great strength, these people might not dare to take revenge publicly.
But if it was something within his power, he could definitely help Lu Siya.
