Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1940: Lost ability

The indoor training ground was brightly lit. Because it sometimes involved keeping some training content confidential and preventing energy leakage from causing unnecessary damage, the indoor training ground had no windows.

But the faint sounds continuously coming from inside made the passing Bronze Mask Warriors all look sideways.

In another training ground not far from the indoor one, several people who had just finished evening training sat on the ground, disassembling training equipment while chatting casually.

”Itʼs quite intense over there.”

The Logistics Officer, Wu Qian, twisted his sore neck and joked with a smile.

”Not as intense as you were just now. You, a logistics manager, why do you usually train so diligently? Your strength should rank in the top ten in the entire Bronze Camp now, right?”

Another warrior who had just sparred with Wu Qian rubbed his own abdomen and said displeasedly.

”Haha, Wu Qianʼs idol is White Robe. Heʼs crazy about wanting to join the Silver Team. Whatʼs wrong with him working hard? But you, Zhu Kang, if you donʼt improve, I think your Deputy Order Leader position is precarious. Over there...”

The person speaking gestured with his chin towards the Assault Camp side and continued: ”Shi Yong, who is just a bit stronger than you, gave up his position and joined the Assault Camp! Be careful, the new guy might issue a notice telling those inferior to Shi Yong to all report to the Bronze Camp.”

”Zhi Chaka, no matter what, you are a Thousand-Person Commander, okay? Canʼt you speak more calm?” The person, Zhu Kang, looked helpless, staring at his immediate superior, unsure of what to say.
Among all the Thousand-Person Commanders, Zhi Chaka was considered the most gentle in personality, able to get along with his subordinates. If only in terms of popularity, he was the ideal candidate for Deputy Order Leader.

”That, Jie Kui...”

Wu Qianʼs movements became very slow, obviously considering something.

His words attracted the attention of the others, and the scene from before surfaced in their minds.

They could sense that Jie Kuiʼs strength wasnʼt high; he might be outstanding among Novices, but he wasnʼt much to look at in the Bronze Camp.

However, the scene of him appearing out of thin air on the empty field without any cover or shelter had truly given the mid-level officers, who were only steps away, a great shock.

If he used that ability to ambush them, probably only very few could dodge.

”What do you think that resembled?” Wu Qian hesitated for a moment but still looked at Zhi Chaka and asked. No matter how approachable this Second Thousand-Person Unit Captain was, his strength was the highest among those present.

”I think...” Zhi Chaka seemed hesitant, organized his words, and said, ”Actually, I donʼt really understand what ability that was. It seems our Star-Eye Clan doesnʼt have any skills that can create such an effect. If there must be one...”

Zhi Chaka looked at Wu Qian, and both saw the answer in each otherʼs eyes, and both felt it was impossible.

”You two, speak clearly!” The others were unhappy; these two were speaking in riddles.

”Actually, we have a guess, but we both think itʼs not possible. Because in the history of our Star-Eye Clan, only one ability could create such an effect, but this ability has been lost for many, many years.”

Wu Qian shook his head, constantly denying himself.

Zhi Chaka continued: ”Layered Body, only Layered Body could create this effect. It was lost with the Cataclysm War.”

Everyone fell silent together.

The Cataclysm War, that period of the past no one wanted to mention, was the eternal pain of the Star-Eye Clan.

”Layered Body can continuously make the body produce rapid vibrations. Upon reaching a certain frequency, it creates a visual disappearance effect. If the person is good enough at sealing their own breath, scent, energy fluctuations, etc., then they can achieve an invisibility effect. Of course, if the strength disparity is large, or if the person is very sharp, they can still easily detect it.”

Someone obviously heard about this ability for the first time and looked incredulous.

”If there really is such an ability, then for our Star-Eye Clan warriors, wouldnʼt it be... too useful?”

Zhi Chaka nodded, ”Of course. Back when this ability wasnʼt lost, why did everyone turn pale at the mention of the Star-Eye Clan? It was because we could launch assassinations on any occasion, any environment, with an extremely high success rate!”

”Many of our key abilities have been lost; this is also the reason for our decline.”

Hearing Zhi Chaka say this, the othersʼ eyes all revealed a look of remembrance.

”From the time we received the notice to assembling on the training ground, until he revealed his body, it was at least over twenty minutes. If what he used was really Layered Body, then his proficiency... has already passed the beginner stage?”

Wu Qian also had some understanding of this ability. He followed this line of thought and analysed.

Zhi Chaka didnʼt speak immediately, just silently packed his things.

”If this is the reappearance of Layered Body, then Jie Kui can already be considered to have grasped its true meaning.” Zhi Chaka said as he walked out, the others following behind.

”From now on, all properly monitor and make your subordinates train and take the assessments seriously.” This Second Thousand-Person Unitʼs chief officer glanced at the indoor training ground, ”Perhaps, something different will happen.”

”Again! Your energy application path is wrong!”

”Layered Eye, to put it plainly, is a sensitive grasp of energy. How to grasp it? It requires you to combine your eyesight with energy to capture the fluctuation patterns of the same category of energy, detect them, and then aim at them.”

”Do not underestimate this ability. It seems useless, but it is actually very useful. It can help you complete the analysis of the target in an instant, then grasp the targetʼs weaknesses, and effectively launch a fatal strike.”

”It not only works in ambushes and assassinations but is also quite useful even in face-to-face combat.”

”Good, Shi Yong is doing very well. He accurately marked the boundaries of several types of energy.”

”Ge Ta, this is a skill that uses the eyes. Why are your hands moving! Donʼt rush, be patient. You must remember the energy circulation route inside your body and focus on the connection with your eyes!”

Ye Zhongmingʼs strict voice echoed in the training ground.

After having the sixty-five people memorize the cultivation method for Layered Eye, he led them in practice.

This was a skill that required precision. Ye Zhongming, with his vast mental power, learned it exceptionally easily, but these warriors found it somewhat challenging.

However, Ye Zhongming wasnʼt in a hurry. This was, after all, a basic skill. Learning this would be of great help to other abilities.

After practicing until late at night, the sixty-five warriors of the Bronze Assault Camp were finally let off by Ye Zhongming. However, the next day, they still had to get up early and come to this training room, which had been designated exclusively for the Assault Camp.

Ye Zhongming was the last to leave. As soon as he went out, he saw Aslan leaning against the railing.
