Hiss...

Yu Yuan was genuinely shocked looking at the new psychic ability Fang had just manifested.

"This is truly bizarre! Isn't this just the legendary military role—the Political Commissar?"

Yu Yuan looked at Fang, who was still immersed in her epiphany, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Fang had this kind of talent?

Although this psychic ability had no direct offensive effect, it was a top-tier support-type psychic ability.

In certain situations, the utility of Fang's psychic ability could far surpass that of Yu Yuan's 【Cured, But Still Drools!】.

At this moment, Fang also half-opened her eyes, looking at Yu Yuan, and said thoughtfully:

"King, I feel like I've truly comprehended something, it's just a strange sensation."

Doctor looked at Fang with curiosity, his eyes filled with a desire for research.

His good sister was actually about to have a psychic ability; this was an excellent research topic.

"Sensation? What kind of sensation? Fang, explain carefully."

"It's just..." Fang, after all, had no experience using psychic abilities. Following her intuition, she prepared to unleash her psychic ability on Doctor.

Yu Yuan promptly interrupted Fang's words.

"Don't... don't unleash it on Doctor. Your psychic ability can make people enter the 【Boiling Blood】 state through speech and emotion, which will lower their rationality and leave them in an anemic state for the next 24 hours."

Hearing Yu Yuan's words, Doctor immediately took two steps back, looking at Fang warily.

"Fang, don't unleash it on me..."

Then, Doctor looked at Yu Yuan.

"King, does that mean Fang has truly obtained a psychic ability? Didn't she not have one just a moment ago?"

Yu Yuan shrugged, his tone also somewhat helpless.

"I don't know either! Speaking of which, I'm also curious how she suddenly obtained this psychic ability, but the effect is indeed very strong."

At this point, Yu Yuan thought for a moment, looking at Fang and Doctor.

"How about we test it? Fang, can you walk now?"

Hearing about testing the newly obtained psychic ability, both Fang and Doctor were intrigued, especially Fang. Upon hearing Yu Yuan describe the effects of her psychic ability, she instinctively already understood how this psychic ability should be unleashed.

Naturally, she now wanted to give it a try.

Doctor, however, had already pushed a wheelchair to the treatment bed.

"It's fine, she can use the wheelchair." Doctor seemed even more eager than Fang.

With the help of Yu Yuan and Doctor, the two of them pushed Fang to the first floor's 【Treadmill Generator Room】.

Looking at the six Swiftstriders that had been tirelessly running for over ten days on the six treadmills, Fang understood Yu Yuan's intention.

"King, you mean to unleash it on these Swiftstriders?"

Yu Yuan nodded.

"Right, this can also test the influence range of your ability. These Infected also possess blood. If they are all affected, then the potential of your psychic ability will be elevated even further."

"Additionally, when you unleash it, see if you can control the ability's target through your subjective consciousness. This is also a very important metric."

Yu Yuan explained the precautions for using psychic abilities, while on the other side, Doctor had already picked up a mobile phone, turned on the recording function, and began documenting this entire experiment.

Listening to Yu Yuan's words, Fang half-closed her eyes, looking at the six Swiftstriders on the treadmills.

After pondering for a few seconds, she once again tried to immerse herself in the state she had experienced when comprehending the psychic ability.

Since Yu Yuan had already explained the psychic ability—【A Shot of Adrenaline?】—in detail, Fang quickly entered the state.

After brewing for a while, Fang's gaze focused on those Swiftstriders.

She slowly began to speak.

"Soldiers! Remember, you are not fighting for yourselves. Your sacrifices will pave the way for our civilization! An individual's life is fleeting, but the glory of civilization is eternal—advance!"

The moment Fang slowly began to speak, within Yu Yuan's 【Peering Eye】 field of vision, he could clearly see a faint red, bloody energy spreading outward with Fang's voice. Both he and Doctor were also affected. Even he felt a sensation of his blood boiling and his entire body growing hot.

Yu Yuan checked his psychic ability panel. He didn't know if it was because this ability didn't count as a mental attack or because Fang was an ally, but the passive characteristic of his psychic ability 【Cured, But Still Drools!】 was not triggered, which also made Yu Yuan sigh in relief.

If it had suddenly triggered a psychic counterattack and hit Fang with a 【Diagnosis · Amnesia】 or 【Diagnosis · Epilepsy】, that would have been quite the spectacle.

But soon, Fang's bloody energy detached from Yu Yuan and Doctor, striving to envelop those six Swiftstriders.

When this bloody energy completely merged with the six Swiftstriders...

Awoo! Awoo!~

Frenzied roars erupted from the mouths of these Swiftstriders. Visibly, the running speed of these Swiftstriders increased even further.

Thump thump thump thump thump—

The heavy sound of running feet in the 【Treadmill Generator Room】 was like a dense rain of droplets, continuous and unending.

Effective!

Watching the six Swiftstriders on the treadmills howling while running frenziedly, the corners of Yu Yuan's mouth lifted high in a smile.

Fang also looked at Yu Yuan.

"King, I feel I can control the ability's target through subjective consciousness. It's just that I'm still not very proficient now, so the release speed of the psychic ability is still a bit slow."

Yu Yuan nodded with a smile.

"That's already very good. Since you've already mastered the psychic ability, you just need more practice, and your proficiency will quickly improve. Also, how do you feel now? Can you continue to unleash the psychic ability?"

Fang focused inward for a moment, then slightly frowned.

"Hiss... King, it seems... I can't use it anymore. Normal speech is fine, but as soon as I try to unleash the psychic ability again, there's a slight stinging sensation in my brain. My intuition tells me it would be very dangerous to force it."

Yu Yuan nodded, saying to Fang and Doctor: "Ultimately, psychic abilities are still a very unfamiliar power for us. Fang, rest well these next two days. When you have time, the two of you can conduct some tests on the psychic ability.

Including the recovery time of the psychic ability, whether the psychic effect can be transmitted through media like headphones or loudspeakers, and whether Fang must be present to unleash it—conduct a comprehensive test. In short, fully explore the potential of this psychic ability..."

Yu Yuan's words clearly gave Fang and Doctor a new inspiration.

Both of them nodded solemnly.

"Yes!"
