Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1136 - 461 Gale Chains_2

The combined efforts of the two were definitely more than the sum of their parts!

Of course, Han Rui’s collaboration wasn’t limited to Wang Tao; she was strong when cooperating with the entire team or any member of the team!

Including teaming up with Lan Yulian. Though combining a healer with a controller might seem to lower the damage, on the flip side, they could control and heal… they could grind down enemies by attrition.

What’s more, Han Rui’s attack was not weak; after all, she was a seasoned combatant and her Awakening also dealt damage.

Naturally, there’s another crucial point—the range of control.

After testing, it was found that the range of “Gale Chains” differed between single-target control and crowd control.

The crowd control range was approximately a circular area with a radius of 10 meters centered around Han Rui, covering over three hundred square meters. It might not seem big, but in actuality, it was quite significant, especially as it was for a group-based control. As the Awakening progressed, the range was likely to increase as well.

The range for single-target control was even larger; within a circular area with a radius of 20 meters, Han Rui could freely bind targets with the Gale Chains!

“With Little Rui’s Awakening, our combat tactics might become a lot simpler in the future…”

Lan Yulian said, stroking her chin.

“That’s for sure! Control is just as important as a healer. We now have damage, healing, and control. In small-scale and even large-scale battles, we can probably perform exceptionally well!”

Hearing Wang Tao say this, Lan Yulian immediately rolled her eyes at him. She had never played video games before the Apocalypse, so she found the term “healer” a bit odd, especially since some of her attributes were indeed not small… Everyone else called her a Healing-type Awakener, only Wang Tao liked to call her healer.

At the same time, Wang Tao, while happy, also felt a bit helpless.

Although the combination of Han Rui’s control ability and his damage could be quite formidable, Wang Tao’s most powerful state was when he used “Starfire Outbreak.” In such a state, others, including Han Rui, couldn’t get too close to him, or else he would end up hurting his own team members… so the two of them could collaborate in attacking, but with certain limitations.

“You guys continue testing, I’ll go check on Zhang Hong and the others, they should be waking up soon.”

Wang Tao returned upstairs.

After a short wait, Yang Changhong woke up.

Yang Changhong was a bit dazed upon awakening and rubbed her eyes. Clearly, she had actually fallen into a deep sleep.

After seeing Wang Tao by the bedside, she finally realized.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

“Have I awakened?”

Yang Changhong was still somewhat incredulous, as her Awakening process had been rather convoluted, and she feared she was dreaming.

“Yes, congratulations!”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Yang Changhong instantly bounced up from the bed, touching herself here and there.

“It doesn’t seem like there’s any difference…”

“Nonsense, your Awakening is of the Psychic System, not the Physical System; it’s normal for your body not to feel any different.”

Wang Tao replied somewhat exasperatedly.

“Uh, that’s true…”

Yang Changhong felt a bit embarrassed; she had been so excited that she had forgotten her Awakening was a psychic Ability.

[HP: 20000/20000]

[Mana: 50000/50000]

[Level: Level 4]

[Internal Impurity: 6%]

[Awakening: Mind Slash]

[Mind Slash: Uses spiritual power to cut rapidly]

Yang Changhong’s Hidden Attributes that she had previously gained were psychic Abilities. Hence, it was quite normal for her to awaken to the Psychic System.

However, her psychic Awakening was unlike other psychic awakenings; it was actually a purely offensive psychic Ability!

“Spiritual Severing” had a straightforward description, and Wang Tao couldn’t figure out exactly how it looked; only Yang Changhong could demonstrate it now.

“I’ll give it a try…”

Yang Changhong used “Mind Slash” on a glass on the nearby table, and then…

Wang Tao felt a bizarre surge of spiritual power emanating. It was as if this spiritual power was covered in spikes and blades. When Wang Tao observed it with his spiritual power, his head felt a twinge of piercing pain.

This was without Yang Changhong targeting him. If she had attacked him head-on, the damage inflicted might have been hard to gauge. Although Wang Tao had strong spiritual power, he certainly would have suffered considerably if attacked.

To Wang Tao’s surprise, however, Yang Changhong’s attack on the glass had no effect; the glass was unharmed. Instead, Yang Changhong’s face turned pale as she had used up all her 100 Awakening Energy.

“Ah, this…”

“Cough, my bad, that’s not how it’s supposed to be used…”

Yang Changhong scratched her head with some embarrassment. It was after using her Awakening that she realized “Mind Slash” only worked on living things. A glass, being a lifeless object without any consciousness, naturally wouldn’t be affected.

“Effective only on living beings, huh… So that’s how it is!” Wang Tao first nodded and then frowned, “But are zombies considered living or dead?”

“Uh…”

Yang Changhong was at a loss as well.

If zombies were considered inanimate, wouldn’t her Awakening be completely useless? After all, the most common enemy in this world was zombies…

But Wang Tao quickly continued,

“Don’t worry, zombies should be regarded as living beings.”

Wang Tao’s reasoning was simple. Firstly, zombies do have consciousness, although it is murky. Secondly, zombies have a blood bar—those with a blood bar are living beings. Once killed and their blood bar disappears, they are considered dead. This seemed logical.

“That’s a relief.”

Yang Changhong breathed a sigh of relief, trusting Wang Tao’s judgment. As long as she could kill zombies, that was enough; otherwise, her joy would have turned to distress.

Wang Tao inquired about Yang Changhong’s experience when using her Awakening and then frowned.

“Now we have a problem; testing your Awakening is not easy…”

Yang Changhong mentioned that when she used her Awakening, she couldn’t control how much power to exert and ended up using all her Awakening Energy in one go… This meant that “Mind Slash” started with 100 Awakening Energy!

With such high energy consumption, her Awakening’s damage output was bound to be substantial.

Moreover, since it was spiritual damage, if carelessly handled, even if it didn’t kill someone, it could potentially render them an imbecile!

So how should they test it?

Should Yang Changhong attack her teammates? They might not bear it; if someone were to be killed instantly… that would be tragic.

Wang Tao himself had high spiritual strength, but Yang Changhong, after regenerating energy with an Awakening Crystal Core, refused to attack Wang Tao under any circumstances. She felt she couldn’t control her power well and would regret it for a lifetime if an accident occurred…
