Luo Xing looked down and patted Zhao Hailun, who was hugging his waist, and said.
"it's over"
Zhao Hailun released Luo Xing and looked in Skye's direction: "What ability did she gain to summon earthquakes?"
"We don't know yet."
Luo Xing shook his head slightly and walked straight towards Skye's direction.
At the center of the energy surge, Skye sat on the ground, looking slightly exhausted; her clothes were long gone.
"Um"
Luo Xing paused slightly in his steps.
When Skye noticed him approaching and realized her own situation, she actually manipulated the sand on the ground to form an outer garment.
This ability… “Did I succeed?”
Skye grabbed Luo Xing's hand, stood up, looked around at the unchanged environment, and asked.
"We succeeded, can't you feel it?"
Luo Xing smiled at Skye and asked in return.
"I just feel a bit unreal."
Skye looked at the sea, raised her hand, and a shockwave was unleashed, creating a splash of water.
No, your abilities go beyond that.
Luo Xing looked into Skye's eyes and said.
He obtained the template for Skye's Ascended form the moment he grasped her hand.
Feeling the power within him, copied from Skye, Luo Xing glanced at the island behind him: "Let's give it a try."
What to try?
Skye followed Luo Xing's gaze and didn't react for a moment.
"To lift up this island."
Are you kidding me?
Skye was taken aback, looking at Luo Xing with a puzzled expression: "How could I possibly do that? The only abilities I've gained are releasing shockwaves and controlling dust and sand..."
After saying that, Skye waved her arm towards the sea, and a boulder the size of an airplane flew out from the seabed and landed on the beach.
"This is all I've done."
Skye bit her lip, looking at Luo Xing: "Have I disappointed you?"
No, maybe you're just not skilled enough yet.
Luo Xing shook his head; after all, it took some time before he discovered Mystique's abilities.
While Nina gained the ability to control conceptual birds, she was still unable to perfectly control the Phoenix Force.
At that time, Luo Xing and Nina hypnotized the Phoenix Force together, and Nina only used less than 30% of her power.
The main reason is that... Luo Xing's energy can be converted at will. Under the same conditions, it is naturally not as powerful as the original entity, but quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.
For example, right now... "Skye, watch closely, this is your true ability."
Luo Xing stretched out a hand and plunged it into the ground.
Under Skye and Helen Zhao's horrified gazes, the sea level began to drop rapidly.
No, the entire island was lifted up.
This was exactly what Luo Xing had Skye try before! "What...what kind of ability is this?"
Skye stared blankly at Luo Xing.
—Why can't she perceive this power? She feels she can only release shockwaves and control things like soil, dust, and gravel... inorganic matter.
"I can't explain exactly what kind of ability it is right now."
Luo Xing withdrew his arm and stood up.
However, the island did not fall because of this.
If viewed from a distance, one can see that the island is not suspended in mid-air; it is supported by four thick rock pillars.
"However, if you insist on figuring it out, you first need to know the elements that constitute the world in certain areas."
Luo Xing explained earnestly.
"You mean the six gemstones that make up the world?"
Skye recalled the six gems that Luo Xing had mentioned before, representing the power of various realms of the universe, and asked.
"No, I mean other fields. Do you know Aristotle or have you read fantasy novels?"
"The four elements that make up the world are water, fire, air, and earth."
A ball of eternal fire appeared in Luo Xing's hand, which, together with the surrounding seawater, sand, and air, constituted the four elements.
"I know that. The concept of the four elements was first proposed by Empedocles."
Zhao Hailun walked over and said, "Modern scientists believe that the four elements represent four states of matter: earth corresponds to solids, water to liquids, air to gases, and fire to plasma."
"Forcing scientific methods into a framework may not yield correct conclusions."
Luo Xing glanced at Zhao Hailun, gave her a reminder, and then turned his gaze back to Skye: "Right now you can only control the shockwaves and some dirt and dust. The real power is waiting for you to develop and utilize."
So what are my abilities?
Skye still didn't understand what Luo Xing meant by mentioning the four elements.
"If I had to give your ability a name, I'd call it 'Elemental Lord'."
"Elemental Lord"
Skye paused slightly, then said, "You mean, I can control earth elementals?"
"That's right. In another magical world, there are also four elemental lords: Ragnaros the Firelord, Al'Akir the Wind Rider, Neptulon the Tidehunter, and Therazane the Stone Mother."
"Of course... that Stone Mother is ugly, you're prettier than her, and your potential is also..."
Chapter 154 Zhao Hailun's Decisive Joining
"Let's go to the lab and test her abilities."
Zhao Hailun glanced at Skye and said to Luo Xing, "The force just now was enough to trigger a tsunami. If she can't control it, she might not be able to get back to the city."
"I……"
A flicker of panic crossed Skye's eyes.
As Zhao Hailun said, if she cannot control this powerful force, then wherever she goes, earthquakes will occur...
"Let's go to the lab and test her abilities."
Zhao Hailun glanced at Skye and said to Luo Xing, "The force just now was enough to trigger a tsunami. If she can't control it, she might not be able to get back to the city."
"I……"
A flicker of panic crossed Skye's eyes.
As Zhao Hailun said, if she couldn't control this powerful force, then wherever she went, earthquakes would occur. How could she then say, "Don't worry, you can control it"?
Luo Xing placed his hand on Skye's shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you know why you can't sense the Elemental Lord's true power?"
"why"
Skye looked up into Luo Xing's eyes.
She was also puzzled as to why Luo Xing knew the prototype of her ability, but she herself did not.
"Because of the caution you bring with your hacking skills."
Luo Xing had only just discovered that Skye's abilities had this other layer of complexity.
"What"
Skye was completely bewildered. What did this have to do with her hacking skills? "I remember you told me you could hack into S.H.I.E.L.D..."
It's part of the network, but there's no way to avoid being detected.
The most important thing for a hacker is to be able to hide their identity after an attack, right?
Luo Xing looked at Skye and said.
"Yes, I did say that."
Skye nodded.
"Consider your hacking abilities as the full power of an elemental lord, and your ability to conceal your identity and evade tracking as your control."
Luo Xing spoke up.
"I see."
Using hacking techniques as an analogy, Skye immediately understood.
No matter how sophisticated a hacker's attack techniques are, they will never launch an attack easily if they cannot conceal their identity.
Similarly, her current control is insufficient... therefore, the power hidden within her body will be suppressed.
To use this power, one must either improve their control or only do so as a last resort.
"If that's the case, it means that my current power is completely under my own control."
Skye clenched her fist, feeling the power she could use within her body. Far from feeling disappointed by the suppression, she was extremely happy.
She was originally an ordinary person with little combat experience.
In fact, she was very worried that after gaining power, she would lose control like the Hulk and Abomination.
But now, she has complete control over this power, which is not only quite powerful, but also has endless room for improvement.
Isn't this something to be happy about? "Dr. Helen, please test my abilities for me."
Skye snapped out of her daze and looked at Zhao Hailun, who had been standing there waiting for a long time.
