Chapter 286 Self-Recovery Zone and Original Pollution

Chapter 286 "Self-Recovery Zone" and "Original Pollution"

Lin Yi was listening to the conversation between the boss and Li Huiyuan in a daze, breathing out cold air.

He tried to prop himself up several times, but as soon as he moved his hands slightly, he felt a heart-wrenching pain before he could exert any strength. Then his arms loosened and he fell to the ground again, with cold sweat on his body like it was wrung out of a towel.

His mind was still hazy, but he could clearly feel that the bones in his arms were covered with cracks. He could also feel that when he exerted force, every muscle fiber in his arms seemed to be twisted.

"Don't be impatient. Wait until you recover 90% before starting training." The boss glanced at Lin Yi indifferently.

At a certain moment, an absurd thought came to Lin Yi's mind. He actually felt that the boss just now was like a scientific researcher who only had data in his eyes.

“Why is it 90%?”

"Because 90% of the time, your bones have recovered, but your flesh and blood are still a little bit weak... In that case, your ability to fight is still there, but your speed is not fast enough to dodge Hui Huizi's attack."

"I kicked you just now just to see how wide your 'self-recovery zone' is."

"'Self-recovery zone'?" Although it was painful to speak, Lin Yi still asked the question with great difficulty.

"The "self-recovery zone" is the lowest limit of your body's ability to recover..."

"Everyone's self-recovery range is different. If Hui Huizi had been kicked just now, she would most likely have fallen into a 'dead' state. Hui Huizi's self-recovery range does not include the state of being almost shattered and on the verge of death."

Li Huiyuan curled her lips and didn't want to complain about whether the boss's example was good or not.

Lin Yi also curled his lips in his heart, thinking, Boss, you actually know the power of that kick...

That kick, "Half a Step to Murder"...

"I just kicked you, and I controlled the strength well, kicking you to the point of near death."

"You have Ashes here, plus your endurance, so you won't die immediately even if you are deeply contaminated. Plus, I was ready to call the school doctor before I kicked you... That's why I dared to kick you so boldly."

"Originally, I was planning to ask the school doctor to bring you back little by little to see to what extent your body would recover before your self-recovery ability would take effect."

"Once it takes effect, it means your 'self-recovery zone' is from you being intact to that level."

"Interestingly, your 'self-recovery zone' actually starts from 'near death', which means that if you don't die immediately, you can basically complete self-recovery by spending some time."

"How long that would take without the ash and without being in the confines of the stadium is unknown."

"But I have to say, you still surprised me."

"It is extremely rare to be able to pull yourself back from the brink of death with the instinct of survival, and in turn use all resources, even "ashes", to make use of them... Your "will" shocked me."

Lin Yi remained silent.

He wanted to say that maybe it was not willpower, but "adaptability".

When faced with a life-and-death crisis, the pollution that was originally absorbed had to "adapt" to absorbing "ashes" with higher levels of pollution.

As for will...

His life has been a revolving door. He is now wandering in the classroom building, Group C, Class 18. What kind of will is he still talking about?

Only instinct!

Only instinct is left!
The boss looked at him and said, "As I said before, recovery training is used to 'activate' and improve your recovery ability."

"Because everyone actually has the ability to repair themselves. If you get a cut, the wound will disappear after a while. If you break a bone, it will heal after a while..."

"However, this self-repair ability is extremely small in ordinary people, and it will decrease with age, making the already small ability almost non-existent."

"As a sports department, we can integrate pollution into our body through training and improve indicators in all aspects of the body, including the ability to self-repair."

"You are not an athlete, but you are very close to us in some aspects, so the training method suitable for athletes, plus the lower limit of your "self-recovery zone" is 'near death', the tolerance rate for training is much greater."

"However, although you can still recover from the near-death state, the angel statue will not let you recover from the near-death state without doing anything. So even if this range is measured, it is only a reference for you when you fight for your life."

"As the ancients said, know yourself and know your enemy. If you know yourself, you will not be constrained in many cases."

"Next, your recovery ability has been 'activated'. What we need to do is to improve this ability."

Lin Yi asked curiously: "How can this recovery ability be improved? I feel like it seems to be related to physical fitness..."

If it is related to physical fitness, perhaps the improvement should start from physical fitness, but in this way, we will be back to "long-term training".

The boss said: "Any power with extraordinary characteristics will change your own life form and attribute composition. Our training is to transform your body from passively accepting pollution to actively accepting pollution and use it where it is needed."

"Whether it's an angel sculpture or any other sculpture, they were all formed after being affected by supernatural powers and their essences were changed... It doesn't matter what their life forms were before the change, whether they were dead or alive. After receiving supernatural powers, they will become the manifestation of this supernatural power in the real world."

"It's like... atavism."

"The essence of supernatural power... is it sculpture?" Lin Yi was lying on the ground, his mouth moving and making tiny sounds.

"They just look like sculptures." The boss glanced at him and thought that you are really eager to learn. "They are all different forms of the original pollution after being changed and then manifested."

"What is "primitive pollution"? "Lin Yi asked again.

"Original pollution is the simplest form of supernatural power, and it is also the most basic supernatural power that has not undergone any changes in nature."

"It cannot be observed with the naked eye, but if you can sense it, you will find that it is a white, almost transparent mist or energy state..." "It is what many people call 'Qi'."

As soon as he heard the word "Qi", Lin Yi instantly felt much more noble.

Lin Yi was a little puzzled: "Why not just call it 'Qi'?"

The eldest brother said calmly: "In Chinese classics, Qi is a pure energy of heaven and earth. If you master it, you can ascend to heaven... If it is called 'Qi', how many people will flock to it and want to master this power?"

Lin Yi's heart trembled.

"But is it really a good thing?" The old man said, "Although extraordinary power can bring great spiritual and physical improvement, how terrible is the price to pay for it?"

"Since ancient times, how many creatures have turned into monsters under the influence of supernatural powers?"

“The efforts and hard work of our predecessors in mastering it and forming a preliminary system cannot be easily recorded in words.”

"But even so, the more systematic pathways currently only include the 'sports department' and the 'art department'."

"In addition, those who wish to get close to this power but fail to reach the threshold will, without exception, become... statues, nocturnal creatures, and other things that are neither human nor ghost."

When mentioning nocturnal species, the eldest sister glanced at Lin Yi casually. When she saw that Lin Yi did not show any abnormality, she knew that Lin Yi had indeed known the concept of nocturnal species for a long time.

Lin Yi was stunned. From the boss's tone, it seemed that all the avenues were expanded from the Department of Physical Education and the Department of Art?
So...it also includes security guards, teachers, etc.?

Or... do they have some other special ways?
The boss continued, "Compared to 'Qi', the word 'pollution' is obviously more accurate, because from a large base, its negative effects on the human body far outweigh its positive benefits."

"But in order to present its problem without any ambiguity, the unified definition given by the official is - 'supernatural power'."

“Refers to all energy that contains or can endow living matter with extraordinary properties.”

"Understand?"

Lin Yi wanted to nod, but the torn muscles in his neck made him give up the action and he could only say "hmm" in a muffled voice.

The boss continued: "At some point, it will appear in the form of white powder particles..."

“‘Original pollution’ is a relatively pure supernatural power, just like water, it is a highly compatible supernatural power. Everyone who enters the campus will absorb it invisibly.”

"Under sunlight or before being induced, its properties will not change much and it is not polluting to the human body."

Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something: "The mountain fog on campus... could it be all 'primitive pollution'?!"

"That's not the case," the old man said, "but the fog definitely contains 'primitive pollution'."

"Original pollution will lurk in the human body after entering it. Once it detects drastic changes in information, hormones, or even some unknown factors in the body, it will immediately become active and cause some changes in the body..."

"Let me give you the simplest example. When you are in danger of death, the 'primitive pollution' will become active or even run wild based on your subconscious desire to survive and various life indicators, and then begin to automatically react in your body, desperately repairing your injuries."

"This process is similar to causing the cells in your body to multiply excessively, thereby achieving a regenerative effect. However, if you are unable to curb this regenerative effect, the excess cells will be transformed into white powder particles under the transformation of the "original pollution" and eventually solidify into a sculptural substance."

"It is precisely because this kind of power has an extraordinary 'polluting' nature that we use the word 'polluting' rather than 'extraordinary power' to describe it."

"That is to say..." Lin Yi thought, "This recovery training is actually to train the body's ability to contain the "original pollution"? It needs to stop it from continuing to exert force at the right time?"

The boss nodded slightly: "If you do it too fast, you will become a sculpture, and if you do it too slowly, your recovery will be poor, so what we need to do is to train you to stay within this limit as much as possible and release your ability to absorb the "original pollution."

"Ah..." Lin Yi and Li Huiyuan both cried out, and seemed to understand something.

But the boss changed the subject: "But this is for others, it's different for you."

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned. Why were they treated differently?
The boss squinted at him and kicked him lightly: "Don't put on a stinky face, just be content. For you, I have changed the training method again and again, just to find the most suitable plan for you."

Lin Yixin said, "Boss, stop saying that. The more you say it, the more it seems like the kick you just made was not under your control..."

The eldest sister didn't know what Lin Yi was complaining about. If she knew, she would have stepped on Lin Yi hard again. She continued, "I just observed you and found that your body is like a sieve with thousands of holes. The "original pollution" flows through you just like flowing through a sieve. It won't leave any traces at all..."

"That is to say, when you are in a 'passive' state, you are completely free. With regard to supernatural powers, you are like a transparent person, and your body will mobilize the 'right amount' of 'original pollution' for use unconsciously and at certain special moments."

"I don't know if you've ever been trained..."

"I definitely didn't..." Lin Yi said affirmatively.

The boss interrupted, "Don't be so arbitrary. The human body's memory is not necessarily correct, especially after what you have experienced. Do you still think that "primitive pollution" can't make you lose certain memories?"

"Memory may be wrong, but your muscle memory and physical instincts cannot."

"Hui Huizi couldn't hit you because your dodge instinct was triggered."

"I don't know if you've ever been trained, and I'm not interested in studying whether there's any problem with your memory, let alone your body functions. We can only make the most appropriate training based on the current situation to improve what you need."

Lin Yi was a little confused: "My body can mobilize "original pollution" by itself?"

The eldest brother added: "It's as natural as eating and drinking, so I doubt you have ever received similar training anywhere else."

"I... shouldn't have it, right?" Lin Yi was a little confused after hearing what the boss said.

The main thing is that he doesn't remember anything like this, but the boss said that there might be something wrong with his memory...
