Chapter 492 What exactly is invincibility?
While helping him get dressed, she would glance at Su Ming from time to time, monitoring his eyes.
"Don't take this opportunity to peek! Before I help the deputy director get dressed, just stare at the white clouds outside!" Xia Xiaoyu said with a pout.
…
"Do you know what the weakness of your Hell Conqueror is?" Liu Lingshan asked.
"I don't know. Master, just tell me directly. Don't beat around the bush." Su Ming pleaded.
"Okay, okay. I didn't expect you to be so lazy." Liu Lingshan waved his hand uninterested, revealing a disappointed face. "You should be able to feel it yourself. Your abilities have an upper limit under the amplification of Hell Return."
After hearing this, Su Ming's expression became much more serious.
Just as the master said, he did feel the limit. Although his body had been in a state of severe injury, he was not yet on the verge of death. Therefore, his combat power should have increased unlimitedly at that time. However, he found that his supernatural powers had reached the bottleneck of power one by one.
Liu Lingshan observed Su Ming's expression, with a hint of smile on his face: "It seems that you have also noticed that although your Conqueror can make you stronger, there is a limit to the increase in the power of the entity that becomes stronger. According to my personal experience, the order in which your offensive abilities reach the upper limit is the knife that can make people's wounds worse, then... um... then the flame, and then the ability to harden bones.
You also have an ability to control the wind, but it is too hidden and its power is not direct enough, so you cannot experience it specifically.
But even these data are enough to draw a conclusion. If I am not mistaken, the upper limit of the amplification of those abilities should be related to the quality of those abilities themselves."
Su Ming said nothing, but tacitly accepted this conclusion.
"Also! It seems like you have too many superpowers~"
"I have already decided not to hide this from you. I can save more than just three superpowers, but there is also a limit." Su Ming replied.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own little secrets. What makes me admire you is your potential and personality, not your obedience... Although Xiao Ming, you are indeed very well-behaved!" Liu Lingshan reached out and rubbed Su Ming's head.
Su Ming pondered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Master, I actually have another super killing move, which is stronger than any of my previous attacks."
Liu Lingshan blinked and looked at Su Ming, asking in confusion: "Then why didn't you use it just now? Were you afraid of killing me?"
"To be honest, we do have concerns in this regard," Su Ming said seriously.
He was referring to the annihilation mode. At least so far, he had no enemies that could not be eliminated by the annihilation mode. The power of the annihilation mode was beyond Su Ming's imagination. The difference in the consumption of eliminating the enemy was only the amount of energy wasted, so he was not sure whether Liu Lingshan could survive in the annihilation mode.
Although he felt that the annihilation mode should be useless against Liu Lingshan, the problem was that this kind of thing had to be treated with caution whenever possible.
Seeing that Su Ming was thinking so seriously, Liu Lingshan leaned back on the sofa and started thinking too.
She recalled for a moment, then asked Su Ming for confirmation: "Xiao Xi mentioned to me before that you have a combat form that doesn't allow people to stand around you. With that form, you played a very important role in the white fog world. Is this the combat form you were referring to just now?"
"Yes." Su Ming was very honest in front of Liu Lingshan.
He respected Liu Lingshan from the bottom of his heart. Whether in terms of strength or in the perfection of personality, his master was far stronger and more mature than him. The brief conversations he accidentally recalled in the devil's realm made him feel that he was truly being guided by the other party.
"Well... um... let me think about how to tell you." Liu Lingshan sat on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling above his head, trying to come up with a reasonable and appropriate statement.
In fact, she originally wanted to tell Su Ming directly that it was impossible for her to be killed by him, but seeing that Su Ming looked seriously worried, it would be too hurtful to her self-esteem to say it directly. She had to find a more tactful way to demonstrate this fact to him.
“Got it!”
"What happened?" Su Ming looked at Liu Lingshan curiously.
Liu Lingshan stretched out his hand and said, "Do you know the difference between ordinary reborn people and me?"
"You can't be killed. Even if you are ground into a paste, you can still be resurrected."
"That's one reason, but to explain my physique, you need to observe the details. Let me first tell you about the classification of regenerated people. Regenerated people are generally divided into three levels, A, B, and C. The low-level ones can only recover, but cannot regenerate severed limbs, and they will also age. They are just people with enhanced recovery abilities.
People who are a little more advanced can regenerate severed limbs. Those who can reach this level are at least B-level. The more advanced ones will not be affected even if their brains explode, and their memories will not be affected. This level is actually different from the regeneration that ordinary people understand. The brain is the container of memory. If it is restored to the best state after rebirth, then slight changes will still affect some memory loss, but this will not happen to these regenerated people.
If their brains are blown away, their bodies will lose the ability to move, and will not regain the ability to move until they are reborn.
Here I give you a small question: If you cut off a person's head, where do you think the body will grow from?"
Su Ming lowered his head and thought seriously. Xia Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him and listening, was also attracted by this curious question and started thinking involuntarily.
"As far as I know, for regenerated people, the part with a head will usually grow back, right? But if the brain is blown up, the head will grow out of the body... This means that the body has the ability to recover. If the head is chopped off... the body will grow a head with complete memories. The head that fell to the ground may linger on for a few seconds, then..."
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly stopped talking.
This scene is too weird, just like the famous Swamp Man Theory, where a man is killed by lightning, and another identical man is regenerated from the swamp to replace him, so is "he" him?
"I think it should be the part with the head that will grow out." Su Ming guessed.
Liu Lingshan gave a strange smile: "That's right, but it's only the case in most cases."
"Could it be that some of them grow out of the body?"
"That's right, this brings us to the stronger regenerated humans, let's call them the pinnacle of Class A.
I know quite a few regenerated people at the peak of Grade A, but the number recorded in the archives does not exceed one hundred. At the peak of Grade A, a more bizarre situation will occur. That is, the brain is blown up, but the body can still maintain the ability to move. This is the most obvious feature that distinguishes them from other regenerated people.
In addition to this, they have another ability, which is to make any separated part of the body "die."
"Can you... be a little more specific?" Su Ming frowned slightly, feeling that the other party was telling him a horror story.
"After the head is chopped off, he can kill the brain immediately and keep the consciousness in the body. In other words, this level of regenerated people don't need a brain at all. Although their thinking ability will decline to a certain extent, there is no doubt that the will can be stored in the body without the brain.
And I can do one thing that none of them can do. I think... you should have guessed it."
Su Ming had indeed guessed it. That ability seemed unremarkable at first glance, but if you thought about it carefully, it would be terrifying. It was extremely frightening when you thought about it carefully.
"You can keep broken limbs moving. Others can't do that, right?"
“That’s right!”
"I understand, Master, you are very powerful, but why are we talking about such a weird thing? Does it have anything to do with the topic we were discussing just now?" Su Ming wanted to get the topic back on track.
Liu Lingshan once again showed that mysterious smile that contained a hint of expectation and a hint of playfulness. When Su Ming saw this smile, he felt that he was being teased.
“This is the theme, but I am explaining a theory by giving examples. After knowing this theory, you will understand why I am immortal.
Now let me ask you another question: What is considered a part that is separated from the body?"
"Just, broken arms and stuff."
“What is the subject then?”
"I think the one with the larger volume should be considered the main body, or..."
"Or the part with the head?" Liu Lingshan added the second half of the sentence for Su Ming.
Seeing Su Ming nod in approval, Liu Lingshan continued, "Now I'll show you another magic trick."
She suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked outside. After a few minutes, she returned to the room with a new set of clothes. Su Ming stared at her, mentally prepared to be scared.
He believed that if Liu Lingshan wanted to explain the theory clearly, she could actually give fewer examples and just state the answers and conclusions, which would be much faster, but she insisted on practicing it herself.
Su Ming concluded that her teaching method was definitely intended to increase the mental pressure on students.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the image of his master, which was originally perfect in his mind, suddenly became not so perfect.
"Watch it!"
Liu Lingshan grabbed the little finger of his left hand with his right hand, and with a click, he pulled it hard and broke the little finger off. Su Ming felt a chill in his heart when he saw it.
He was right! She was going to do some weird tricks!
Although the little finger was twisted off at the root, the wound did not bleed much. The strong contraction of the muscles suppressed the cut surface of the blood vessels. Not only the wound on the palm, but also the broken little finger did not bleed much.
thump!
Liu Lingshan, who was standing just now, fell directly to the ground. After a little thought, Su Ming guessed what would happen next. He cast his eyes on the little finger that fell to the ground, and sure enough, the little finger had changed!
The white bone extended from the broken little finger, and then blood and muscle began to cover the bone. The bones, muscles and skin were covered layer by layer in an orderly manner, like some kind of fixed processing procedure. Xia Xiaoyu and Su Ming stared at the crazy "growth" scene with surprised expressions.
Within a dozen seconds, the original little finger turned into Liu Lingshan again, while the body that had lost the little finger lay quietly on the ground.
Liu Lingshan, who had recovered, grabbed the clothes that had been prepared beside him and put them on. While calmly putting on his pants, he said, "Did you see that? Are you scared?"
"A little... still a little surprised ." Su Ming answered directly.
"Oh? Aren't you scared? When Xiaoxi saw me demonstrate this way of playing for the first time, she was so scared that her mouth couldn't close." Liu Lingshan said with a smile.
She sighed softly and finally got to the point: "I have been thinking about why I have such abnormal behavior. A long time ago, I wanted to test the limit of my own death. Although I was timid at first and didn't dare to let go of my hands and feet to die, I soon became more and more courageous. Even if I was burned to ashes and blown away, I didn't die... I can be resurrected from the ashes."
Su Ming was stunned after hearing this.
Frankly speaking, he didn't want to believe this because it didn't make sense logically. As far as Su Ming knew, the most thorough way to kill a person was to grind their bones and scatter their ashes.
But if she can be resurrected even after being burned to ashes and blown away by the wind, then how can we kill her? She is absolutely invincible!
But... Su Ming knew that what Liu Lingshan said was true. At least she was serious when she said it and did not exaggerate the facts.
"Doesn't it sound invincible?" Liu Lingshan looked at Su Ming with a smile in his eyes.
Su Ming nodded in shock: "Well, even if you haven't reached the invincible realm, Master, you are already invincible."
"But that's not the case, otherwise I wouldn't be so restricted in doing things. With this kind of power, one person can build a country." Liu Lingshan put his hands on his hips and sighed softly, as if he also had some regrets.
"Is it because of the falling phenomenon?" Su Ming guessed tentatively.
"That's the reason, but if you take it as the answer, we won't be able to delve deeper into our topic today. Xiao Ming, you will reach my current level sooner or later, I can feel it.
I don't know why I have an illusion that you are not getting stronger, but you have forgotten your old fighting skills, and then suddenly remembered them one day." Liu Lingshan looked down at Su Ming kindly with a smile on his face.
Su Ming stared at the other person blankly and asked stupidly, "Why do you think so, Master?"
"Because no one is born knowing all the knowledge and skills, even the most extraordinary geniuses have their own speed of progress. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, the progress of those geniuses is so fast that it is like a flash of light passing before their eyes, and they surpass themselves in an instant, but in the eyes of other geniuses, the gap is not particularly large.
The same is true for geniuses among geniuses. No matter how extraordinary a person's talent is, he will always see people similar to himself when he looks around. Similarly, ordinary people will also think that some people are similar to that person, and even if they are not as good as that person, they should be on the same level.
Just like in Newton's era, although everyone thought he was a unique figure, in fact, his contemporary physicist Hooke, scientists from other disciplines, or literary geniuses can all be put in the same category. Putting aside academic right and wrong, and talking only about ability, the gap between them is actually not that big.
But you give me a different feeling, like a newborn baby who can write when he gets a pen."
