Although Jiang Mian had not seen it in person, most of the information, except for the vertex sequence, was publicly available, including a detailed introduction to the advanced sequence.

The ability to rank among the top 50 in the [Element] path has a very high affinity for the so-called "Element".

The concept of "elements" is difficult to explain with current technology.

All people know is that after the fog descended, this formless and intangible substance came into existence in the world.

Only those who have awakened through the [Element] path can mobilize them; the higher the level, the more they can mobilize, and the more refined they will be.

For example, the "eye of the storm" can easily manipulate the airflow in the environment, constantly gathering or spreading air currents, and triggering small storms with destructive power far exceeding its own level.

More importantly, this ability to activate elements is closely related to the mental state of the awakened individual.

When an awakened person falls into extreme emotions, there is a very small chance that it will trigger a resonance of the surrounding elements, thus forming an elemental outburst.

This kind of burst is extremely difficult to control, but the power released in an instant is enough to crush most opponents of the same level.

This is a relatively weak compensation mechanism for the early stages of the [Element] path, but it only has this ability for the first fifty sequences.

The situation is quite different when it comes to calamities.

Their bodies are naturally capable of supporting and controlling this violent power, and some high-level calamities can even use it to transform the battlefield into their own domain.

Simply put, it's just one of the most energy-intensive methods.

Those with the disease suffer much worse.

They lack the stable mental state of the Awakened and the unique structure of the Cataclysmic Core, making them more prone to losing control or even self-destructing.

Therefore, an elemental burst could cost them their lives.

After all, the power of the [Natural Calamity] path is more difficult to control than other calamity paths.

The biggest difference between Jiang Mian and the others is that he has already grown the Calamity Core organ, so at least he doesn't have to worry about exploding and dying.

No matter how strong Li Hao's [Steel Bones] are, he is still just a newly awakened first-tier Awakener.

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Mian made a judgment.

She was certain that no matter where she moved, that guy would come looking for her.

As an "old classmate," she knew all too well his vindictive nature.

After packing her things, Jiang Mian nestled into bed and slowly closed her eyes.

……

In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Mian was awakened by a sharp pain.

She curled up on the bed, clutching her stomach, cold sweat beading on her forehead. A sharp, cramping pain shot through her lower abdomen, as if someone had stabbed her with a knife and was constantly twisting it.

It took her a while to recover, or rather, to gradually get used to the pain.

Jiang Mian struggled to get up and found herself lying on a cold, sticky substance and a shocking dark red stain.

"broken……"

Since transmigrating, she had been under constant stress and had completely forgotten about this.

Considering the time I left last time, this time I'm already a few days late.

That being said... her current body is still largely human, except that she has an extra "heart".

To significantly improve and fully control one's physical abilities, one would need to reach at least the seventh rank, which would make one one of the strongest humans.

It's just unknown to what extent Jiang Mian will be affected by his own abilities at that time.

"Seriously... why do I have to suffer like this? I'm not even going to have children..."

Jiang Mian complained in a low voice, a sudden surge of irritation rising in his heart.

She shuffled towards the bathroom, quickly tidied herself up, and changed into a new pair of panties with a sanitary napkin.

"I don't want to go to work..."

Jiang Mian felt empty inside, suddenly losing all motivation and energy.

"No, what am I thinking? It's only one day left, I should just hang in there..."

She forced herself to change her clothes and quickly gathered up her blood-stained clothes and bedding.

Thinking that she wouldn't be staying here tonight, and that it would be too much trouble to carry things around, Jiang Mian simply found a secluded spot and let the flames devour them completely.

Jiang Mian mustered his spirits, rode his bicycle to the Special Affairs Bureau, and completed his last day of work.

Perhaps due to physical discomfort, she felt that time passed particularly slowly today, and even the noise from the incinerator seemed a bit noisy.

After finally finishing the day, when it was time to settle the wages, Supervisor Chen said a few extra words, implying that he wanted her to work a short-term job, with the possibility of signing a long-term contract or even securing a permanent position.

Jiang Mian had already eaten her fill of this kind of pancake in her previous life, and besides, if she wanted to advance to the third rank now, she would probably need twenty-five second-rank calamities.

The conditions here can no longer meet her needs.

So Jiang Mian directly declined, citing health issues, and the other party didn't say anything.

She took her salary, walked out of the Special Affairs Bureau, and left without looking back.

……

Meanwhile, outside the detention center under the jurisdiction of the Western District Public Security Bureau.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Director Zhou."

Li Tian nodded to Zhou Qiang, speaking politely but acting very casually.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. It's understandable that a young person might act impulsively."

Zhou Qiang responded with a smile and gestured to the trainee police officer next to him to open the door to the private room.

With a clang, the metal door opened, and Li Hao walked out, his face still showing some resentment.

"dad……"

Li Tian glanced at his own brat, his brows furrowing slightly, but he still chose not to reprimand him here.

He deliberately came two days late. After being locked up for so many days, this kid has suffered a bit. Shouldn't he behave himself?

"We'll talk about this back home, Director Zhou. We'll be leaving now."

Li Tian nodded to Zhou Qiang, then turned and walked straight outside.

As Zhou Qiang watched the father and son walk away, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

Beside him, the trainee security guard who opened the door couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Second Uncle, who is this Mr. Li? Why are you being so polite to him..."

"Qingzhi, how many times have I told you, when you're at work, you should refer to your job title..."

"Alright, alright, Director Zhou, is that enough?"

Zhou Qiang glanced at him, lit a cigarette, and explained:

"Li Tian, ​​head of the security section of the Municipal Construction Bureau."

"Huh? That's all? It's not that bad..."

"Third-tier Awakener".

"Third tier?"

Zhou Qingzhi raised an eyebrow. The highest level in Base City No. 144 was only Tier 4; those with higher levels had all moved to higher-level Base Cities.

Here, a third-tier awakener is already considered very strong.

"Um."

Zhou Qiang flicked his cigarette ash and continued:

"Moreover... his ability is Sequence 100, [Trapped]. His son is useless, but this guy, besides himself, also has some connections... he's not someone to mess with."

……

Outside the detention center.

Li Hao followed behind Li Tian, ​​growing angrier the more he thought about it.

He'd been locked up for so many days, and instead of coming to bail him out immediately, his father hadn't even offered a single word of concern...

"dad."

He couldn't help but speak up, quickening his pace to keep up with Li Tian.

"Why did you only...?"

"Shut up!"

Li Tian's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was icy, causing Li Hao to instinctively shrink his neck and swallow the rest of his words.

Only after getting into the car and closing the door did Li Tiancai take the initiative to speak:

"After being locked up for so many days, has your mind cleared up yet?"
