Book 6: Chapter 25:2: World Consciousness’s Malicious Intent, Part 2
The moment the countdown ended, the Special Affairs Bureau activated the high-power ability suppressor device. Its effects instantly blanketed the entire school, including the school’s immediate surroundings.
Chen Heng watched as two disguised ability users who hadn’t fled lost their cover, reverting to their original appearances, and screamed while clutching their heads.
While under the device’s suppression, one would feel like a needle stabbed one in the head when using abilities. Ordinary people or ability users not using their abilities would not react, feeling normal.
Unfortunately, the ability suppressor device did not have much of an effect on Chen Heng. Right now, he used his gravity ability to lessen the gravitational forces acting on him just to test the ability suppressor device’s effectiveness on him.
The result showed that after two ability awakenings by the Dimension Administrators Association, the ability suppressor devices could barely affect him. At most, it was like an itch, nothing more.
Chen Heng got a headache yesterday only because the ability suppressor device had been too close to his future self when he used the Absolute Precognition to see his future self taking the exams. If ordinary ability users tried to use their abilities in such close proximity, a headache would be the least of their problems. Chen Heng would feel respect if they could remain conscious after that.
The government-employed ability users swarmed in on all the ability users who reacted. They took away the people who were substituting for examinees. Those examinees using abilities were not arrested; however, the Special Affairs Bureau would pay special attention to them.
Ability users were not evil people. The Special Affairs Bureau was trying to capture people using abilities to cheat, but the exam had not started yet, so they would not arrest people for simply using an ability.
Chen Heng even noticed Jiang Cheng among the Special Affairs Bureau’s ability users. However, he immediately averted his gaze the moment he saw Jiang Cheng. Ability users had sensitive perceptions. Chen Heng could notice someone staring at him from a kilometer away. Now, Jiang Cheng was within 100 meters.
Furthermore, this ability user was even more arrogant than Sirin after she became a six-core Herrscher.
He actually fought his way to the gang’s headquarters and threatened the gang leader—the Soul Separation Realm cultivator—while pointing straight at the gang leader’s nose.
The conclusion went as expected. Rumor had it that he had his arms and legs broken and ended up a subject in human experiments in that cultivator’s faction.
The hidden world was a ruthless place that didn’t play by the mundane world’s rules—a place where the strong preyed on the weak.
The Special Affairs Bureau knew about this case but did not react to it. The Special Affairs Bureau protected only the law-abiding ability users. As for such a troublemaker...
Actually, if there truly were a Spiritual Energy Resurgence, these ability users might be able to rise up. However, that was not what was really happening. The politics in this world ran very deep. How could this world be classified as a supreme-martial world for nothing?
After the exam hall opened, Chen Heng leaped off the platform and entered. Of course, despite how incredible he was, he still had to join the queue to enter.
With no surprise, the first subject was the same as before the world merger: Language.
The questions in front were pretty normal: poetry appreciation, reading comprehension, and other common topics. However, Question 21 seemed designed with malice, making Chen Heng’s eyebrows shoot up.
