Chapter 3: The Potential of Life

  Orphan Street, a desolate street with few people coming and going. More often than not, what you see is a group of underage kids, because in this undignified isolation zone, people prefer to live in the world of games.

  "Wake up." A gentle, melodious female voice asked three different questions in a row, causing Wàng Chén to wake up from his daze, covered in cold sweat. He looked at the wooden hut in front of him and realized it was different from his own home, although similarly simple but much larger...

  "Youve finally woken up." The several Nightmares sleeping beside Wòu suddenly looked at him with surprise and excitement, the intense emotions in their hearts even bringing tears to the eyes of a few of the smaller ones.

  Wang Chen seemed to have forgotten what happened after the fight and only then began to carefully recall the events, saying: "What happened after I fainted?"

  "It was Dugu Grandfather who brought us back." Ye Shuang lay on the other side of the bed, wrapped up to a degree that was in no way inferior to Wang Chen, and the two had become ancient mummies.

  "Youve been unconscious for three days and three nights, but you scared them." A thin, white-haired old man carrying a large sack of fresh food walked in from outside the door.

  "You must be hungry, Muyao. Go cook something delicious." With eyes narrowed, the thin and weak body of the old man was almost indistinguishable from ordinary people, but everyone knew that as long as the children of Orphan Street made a mistake and returned to Orphan Street, even the leader of the Isolation Zone wouldnt dare set foot here. This was all because of the existence of this old man, who wasnt someone that the leader of the Isolation Zone could compare to.

  "It turned out that Grandpa Dugu saved us" Wang Chen wanted to get out of bed to thank him, but was stopped by the old man. Only then did he realize that his right arm was wrapped in layers of bandages. At this time, the intense pain from his right arm made him break out in a cold sweat, but he himself didnt make a sound, and just looked at his right arm, feeling his own weakness.

  The old man gazed mysteriously at Wang Chen, a faint smile spreading across his lips beneath his white beard: "The power that could only be triggered in the Creation World... seems to have been destined all along." If he hadnt logged off from the game, the consequences would have been unthinkable, he thought to himself.

  Mei Yu not only looks beautiful, but is also famous for being kind and having excellent culinary skills. The rich feast was like a celebration of the recovery from forgetfulness. That day, several little guys even drank old mans fine wine, got drunk, and laughed loudly, with joyful voices echoing inside the simple wooden hut.

  "Grandpa Gū, are you leaving again?" It was deep in the night when everyone had fallen asleep, but there was one person who didnt have a bit of sleepiness. He was waiting at the door just like an old man.

  It seems that he had known all along that Wang Chu would be here, and the old man simply said: "The time to log off is not so abundant, but this time I came back, I didnt expect you to give me an unexpected surprise."

  That night, the old man mysteriously disappeared as usual, and no one knew where he came from or went to, but he was always protecting this street full of orphans.

  The sky is bright, but the red sand dust still lingers in the air above the isolation zone, forever without a day...

  Wu Chen recovered very quickly, and by the fifth day, his right arm was as good as new. This surprised Mu Yao, Lin Lin, Ye Shuang, and others. As for the still young Xiao Song Ada, Luo Yong, and San, they didnt think as much as Ye Shuang did.

  At that time, Ye Yan indeed saw the flame flower blooming on Wang Chens body, and he had been wanting to find an opportunity to ask about it.

  One night, under a thick moonlight that was shrouded in blood color, the people in the isolation zone had never seen what the outside scenery looked like.

  The 711 quarantine zone, rumored to be a life-and-death chasm where anyone who steps in will undoubtedly die, was now under Wang Chens feet. With just a thought, he could cross over and leave the quarantine zone, but he knew it wasnt time yet...

  "How did you end up here?" Looking at the ravine of life, Ye Yin was very surprised. He had been following Wang Chen all the way, and didnt expect him to stop in his tracks here.

  It doesnt seem to surprise Ye Yans arrival, Wang Chen looked outside and said: "Hey, do you want to go out and take a look at the world outside?" When he said this, his eyes flashed with anticipation and longing.

  In his past life, Wang Lin had been to the isolated zone once, but it was at the cost of his life. At that time, he didnt have extra time to appreciate the scenery outside the isolated zone, but he knew that the world outside the isolated zone was beautiful. Those in power deceived everyone, and the so-called "life radiation" was not enough to kill people. They just wanted to keep most people trapped, so they could enjoy more and better resources themselves.

  "Whats outside?" Ye Yan was stunned, he had thought about it many times, but never thought of leaving this place, because the textbooks clearly told people that outside the isolation zone was a more terrifying death radiation, and those who entered would die.

  "Its impossible..... We cant get out." Yexiang replied very certainly.

  "How would you know if you dont try?" As he spoke, Wàng Chén leapt down from the isolation zones restricted area.

  Ye Shang was shocked and pale, rushed out and climbed to the edge of the cliff, looking down and shouting: "Chen, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

  "Hahaha, if we dont experience it personally, well never know the truth. The outside world is wonderful and completely different from whats written in books!!" The sound of Wang Chens laughter was transmitted to Ye Shens ears, but then there was no more response.

  "Whats going on? Could it be...?" Ye Shang was shocked: "You little scoundrel, didnt I tell you not to go?!"

  "Hey, Ye Shaoge, arent you coming down yet?" But soon an excited voice came, forgetting dust was still there, and Ye Shaoge was completely stunned. Werent they supposed to be dead for sure once they entered the radiation zone?

  He cautiously approached the restricted area, his whole body tense. When he saw Wang Chens figure below, and seeing how timid he was, Wang Chen pulled him in with a laugh. His heart couldnt stop racing with excitement.

  One minute later, Ye Sha still couldnt believe it and said: "I... we actually didnt die?"

  "Of course, were not dead, but for now, we cant get out of here." Wàng Chén was very clear that the outer perimeter of the isolation zone had many mutated monsters and mechanical war police guarding the area. If they went further forward, they would be attacked by monsters, and even if they managed to escape the monster zone, they would still be ruthlessly shot by the mechanical war police. Therefore, without sufficient strength, it was impossible to leave the isolation zone.

  "But one day it will be possible." This thought firmly emerged in Wang Chens heart.

  At this moment, in Ye Yans heart, Wang Chen became even more mysterious. The gaze towards him was filled with unknown colors. However, he didnt forget the purpose of his visit. Ye Yan regarded Wang Chen as a younger brother and wouldnt hide his thoughts from him. So, he spoke out about what he saw before fainting that day.

  "Ah, you see that white flame, right?" Forgot Dust smiled, gathering the white fluff around him, the sticky white substance clinging to every inch of his body.

  "Uh-huh, just like."

  "Like this?" All his strength burst out, forming a white flame that burned on Wang Chens body. Ye Xuan nodded firmly: "Its exactly this."

  "This is the potential of life, how about it, want to learn?" At this moment, Wàng Chéns smile made Yè Shāng unable to see through, that usual younger brother suddenly changed, what changes had occurred on Wàng Chéns body during those few days of unconsciousness?

  Ye Shang really wanted to ask more, but he suppressed the impulse in his heart. Some things didnt need to be asked, and when the time came, they would naturally become clear. What he wanted to know now was how to learn this power: "Really? Can I also have that kind of power?"

  Only with that power can he truly protect his family!

  "Ah, if its Yexing Ge, then its definitely possible. Life potential, the power that bursts forth as a result of burning life as a cost, I believe Yexing Ge has long been prepared to use his life to protect those he cherishes. As long as there are people with this kind of awareness, they can definitely learn!!"

  In the following days, Ye Shuang and Wang Chen were always mysterious among their companions. Wang Chen was telling Ye Shuang all his experiences and insights while also starting to strengthen his own body.

  Life potential is the power that touches the few days of a dusty life, otherwise he cannot break through the isolation zone and go to the noble district to make a big noise in the wedding hall. Although failed, even the dust did not think that he would have another chance to come back, so cherish it especially. He was a genius, but died young, but now he is grateful for the opportunity given by the heavens, this life he wants to take back everything he lost!!

  BOOM!!

  [Yellow Rock Cave] The isolation zone is almost uninhabited, there are no prey, no food, and no necessary resources, so there will be no human presence at all.

  But since a few months ago, two young men broke the tranquility here, with a loud explosion, a massive boulder appeared with spider web-like cracks spreading out.

  Taking a deep breath, the tender cheeks seem to become even more resolute, and the punch that bursts out in an instant is precisely the powerful blast formed by the "Explosion" of [Life Potential].

  "Awesome..." Ye Shang, who was practicing on the side, had already become stunned, and in these three months, he had witnessed Wang Chens growth and seen the power of potential, and even more so, had a firm idea to learn the potential.

  "If I work hard, I can also protect them like Wang...”

  Closing his eyes, he fell into deep thought. The night began to gather energy, and in less than ten seconds, a white sticky substance appeared all over his body, as if he had found the feeling. He suddenly opened his eyes and punched the stone pillar with a loud shout: "Charge!!"

  A loud rumble shook the air, and the stone pillar suddenly trembled violently. Pebbles fell down with a rustling sound. When he saw his obvious success, Ye Shangs whole body became excited.

  "Have you finally grasped it?" Wàng Chén had witnessed Yè Shāngs efforts over the past few months, and although he didnt know much about his potential for life, the four most basic parts were clearly in order.

  This human power is called 【Life Burning】, its strength comes from the flow of life, everyone has it, but not anyone can control it!

  Wang Chen currently only knows the four major foundations of this power:

  Gather: Circulates life potential throughout the body and stabilizes it. During combat, the intensity of the condensation becomes the endurance of defense and attack power, increasing its might.

  Hides ones presence, making it difficult to detect, and renders oneself defenseless during the activation of a hidden potential attack.

  Explode: Suddenly increase stable potential explosively, burning the whole body in a flame-like form, used in various skills on oneself.

  One of the greatest effects of releasing potential, after mastering the previous three powers, can produce different effects depending on individual physical qualities.

  Wàng chéns current body can only barely support the explosive degree, while Yǐn and Fàng have not yet grasped it. As for his [Chōng], which is a variation of the explosion, the differentiated life energy Chōng can sustain itself slightly longer than the explosion, but its power is not as terrifying as that of the explosion.

  As if forgotten dust imagined, among them, only he and Ye Shaohua could grasp the potential of life.

  After three months of repeated practice, the Huangyan Shiku cave once again transmitted a loud explosion, and a huge stone cave was blasted into powder.

  Wang Chen and Ye Shuang exchanged a smile, the four major foundations they had already perfectly grasped Juhe and Bao, but when the sun set and night fell, Wang Chen knew that the time of separation had arrived because this year, Ye Shuang and Mu Yao were 16 years old.
