Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 74 Water Affinity

The human body is mostly composed of water, and water is one of the substances that everyone comes into contact with most in daily life.

Some people may not be able to describe fire well, but everyone has personally touched water, so they can say they know it like the back of their hand.

But now, Bai Yang was lying in his own bathtub, and for the first time in his life, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity with this substance.

What's going on?

He clasped his hands together in confusion, cupped some water in his palms, and looked at it.

The water quality in the community is extremely high, practically crystal clear; no matter how you look at it, it's just ordinary water.

But Bai Yang felt that it was different from before; the water seemed to have a special rhythm.

He put his hand back and gently shoved it in the water.

Suddenly, dozens of tiny whirlpools appeared on the edge of my palm, swirling in the water!

So intense!?

He was greatly alarmed, realizing that he had only tried to generate some vortexes using methods he had experimented with in the Trial Tower.

I never expected that this water would have such a huge reaction.

It's almost as if you can control the water to some extent?

Could it be that the drop of the mirage dragon's heart blood worked?

Bai Yang quickly finished his bath and wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, even though it was winter.

We walked out of the main building and came to the large swimming pool in the courtyard.

This mansion has two swimming pools, one large and one small.

Normally no one uses it, but the community's property management insists on coming to maintain it every day, so it has never been drained or polluted.

The pool is 25m long, 11m wide, and 1.6m deep, with a capacity of 440 cubic meters.

Bai Yang stepped into the pool and carefully savored the sensation he had just experienced.

At the same time, extend both hands and push hard on the water's surface.

Instantly, ripples spread across the entire surface of the pool.

Soon, as these ripples overlapped and amplified each other, their power grew stronger and stronger.

It gradually formed a huge vortex with a diameter of about 8 meters!

Bai Yang was shocked to see that various ripple patterns were constantly emanating from the vortex!

Is this the fundamental law of water?!

No! It's not that bad yet!

These ripples are likely just manifestations of some of the ordinary laws of the water system, and are still far from the level of the fundamental laws.

He looked down and observed carefully for a long time, but even with his level of understanding, he couldn't figure it out.

After all, that mirage dragon was only a first-tier planetary-level being; how could it possibly possess such abilities?

Perhaps its bloodline is nobler than that of ordinary monsters, just as the Golden Horned Beast can easily sense the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of metal.

It may sense something on its own, but it can't be said to have achieved anything yet.

This ability can at best be called "water affinity".

But for Bai Yang, this is extremely useful!

He can use this as an opportunity to formally begin trying to comprehend the fundamental laws of the universe!

Bai Yang suddenly became excited; this was definitely a good deal!

But is this the only ability the mirage dragon possesses?

According to various myths and legends, the mirage dragon generally gives people the feeling that, in addition to water, it must also be an illusion, right?

At least that Phantom Rat used crystals to demonstrate this ability, and it might even be stronger than its water affinity!

He can soak in water to activate this aquatic affinity.

Illusions should be classified under the "laws of light," right?

How should he activate it?

I can't sleep at all if I don't understand this!

Shall we go out and soak up some sun?

But it's nighttime now!

Bai Yang endured for a while, but still couldn't let go; he really didn't want to wait even a minute longer.

It's just a little bit of money.

He immediately took out his phone and began issuing orders in his subordinates' group chat:

"Can you help me find a lighting market or film company that is still open? I need a lot of high-powered solar lamps."

"I don't care how expensive it is, I want it tonight."

"Yes, sir!"

Among the subordinates he had subdued at this time were two war gods, An Zhengxin and Lu Gang, who were right beside him.

They are all natives of Jiangnan Base City and have good connections.

During this period, the team also rescued some martial artists in the wilderness, increasing the number of members.

Just an hour later, more than 30 of his men had obtained the items and arrived at the Extreme Club residential complex.

Yang Wu took the lead, directing everyone to the Bai family's cultivation room to begin setting up.

Soon, dozens of high-powered simulated sun lamps of various sizes were added to the huge training room.

The group carefully adjusted the positions of the light bulbs to ensure they were all concentrated in a roughly contiguous area.

Bai Yang took off his outer clothes and asked them to turn on all the lights and shine them on him.

Under the bright lights of dozens of lamps, he quickly felt his body temperature rising.

But there wasn't that special rhythm that you could feel as soon as you entered the water.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed.

Bai Yang still felt nothing; it seemed he was going in the wrong direction.

He carefully reviewed the events of the previous days again:

"I remember when we were in Shanghai, that mirage dragon spent all its time at the bottom of the river, living a life of near darkness."

It doesn't come out for months at a time. Does it really never cultivate?

Is there nothing else besides the laws of light?

He had heard a theory before that the universe originally had no light and was all darkness.

What is called darkness may not be true darkness, but simply "insufficient light".

When are people most sensitive to light?

That's like suddenly coming from darkness into a bright place!

He had an idea in mind and said to everyone, "Turn off all the lights. Block up all the windows in the training room."

Everyone immediately busied themselves, and soon the entire training room was pitch black, with no light source shining in.

Even in darkness, Bai Yang can still see.

He held his breath and temporarily shut down the infrared vision and other abilities he had gained from various monsters.

Then, after confirming that it was truly pitch black and I couldn't see anything, I closed my eyes.

He gave the order again: "All lights, turn them on!"

In an instant, dozens of incredibly bright beams of light shone towards him.

Bai Yang also opened his eyes at the same time, taking in all the light.

How strong is this brightness?

He hadn't calculated it.

All I know is that it was my ordinary self from a past life who encountered this kind of radiation.

They would definitely be blinded in the first instant.

This terrifying brightness instantly turned his vision completely white, causing him to lose his basic vision as well!

That flutter in his heart rekindled, and the 'Light Law Affinity' was activated in an instant!

At the same moment it was activated, his vision returned to normal.

Everything I see has changed.

Bai Yang felt as if he could directly see the seven primary colors in the white light.

This is not some kind of monster power he acquired, but rather an ability that belongs to him personally!

The secrets of the laws of light are gradually being revealed to him!

In the bloodline of the Mirage Dragon, it is indeed more affinity for light than for water!

In the future, his understanding of the fundamental laws of light will be far superior to that of the fundamental laws of water!

Starting today, I have finally embarked on the path of comprehending the laws of the universe!
