"Break the Thirty-Six Calamities with Guns," all techniques revolve around the concept of slowness—slowness in Vital Energy, slowness in offense, and slowness in calamity.
In slowness, one can achieve speed, thus maximizing the essence of speed; this is the way of fast and slow.
In Calamity, the gun in hand has reached a state akin to the Dao, where nothing can evade it. When the gun is fast, it strikes like thunder, and one's gaze cannot keep up with its speed; when it is slow, it is as steady as Mount Tai, pressing down with an unyielding force, leaving no escape.
As he watched In Calamity's Shooting Skill, Zheng Yifan continuously mimicked it in his mind. To him, everything appeared in slow motion; he felt that only at a speed hundreds of times slower could he begin to match In Calamity's rhythm.
His thoughts imitated the Shooting Skill while his body naturally began to absorb Vital Energy slowly. The poor quality of Earth's Vital Energy was gradually being absorbed by Zheng Yifan. The pace was even slower than when using Lin Chong's crude cultivation methods during the apocalypse, yet Zheng Yifan was already astonished.
This was modern society, even worse than the End of the Law Era. In such circumstances, the existence of Vital Energy was exceedingly rare; breathing a single breath during the apocalypse could yield more Vital Energy than what existed in an area of ten thousand square meters.
Yet under these conditions, he could still absorb Vital Energy. This was truly astonishing.
"The apocalypse! I must go to the apocalypse; I need Vital Energy now." As he continued to mimic In Calamity's Shooting Skill in his mind, his hands had already pinpointed the location for the space gate, eagerly awaiting his arrival in the apocalypse.
However, this surprise was even greater than expected.
To gain power, Zheng Yifan primarily focused on observing the Character Card. He then began to worry about his advancement but realized he had neglected to examine the Storage Space and newly emerged functions.
Now his Storage Space measured 100 meters in length, width, and height—totaling a vast area of ten thousand square meters. With a height of 100 meters, there was ample room for nearly anything. Moreover, the opening time for the space gate had become significantly faster; it opened within just ten seconds.
Zheng Yifan wasted no time and dove inside without caring about any injuries. He was currently immersed in In Calamity's Shooting Skill and vaguely sensed some insights emerging.
This was a rare opportunity; it might be due to his first training session that the energy from his advancement had not yet dissipated, providing him with this benefit.
How could he let such an opportunity slip away? He immediately sat cross-legged in a basement during the apocalypse and continued to observe In Calamity's Shooting Skill.
The movements were like scattered starlight—fast yet slow—his Silver Gun resembling a galaxy suspended upside down. Only after retracting his movements did he catch a glimpse of a flash of starlight.
The imposing figure stood tall, exuding a sense of calm that felt as solid as a mountain, devoid of any aggressive fire. Everything around him was so composed that no matter how fast things moved, there was an underlying feeling of tranquility.
This was the way of In Calamity, the path of breaking through calamities, striking slow against fast, and confronting the void with substance. Even amidst countless tribulations, he remained steadfast and unmoving.
Gradually, Zheng Yifan rose to his feet, moving slowly in sync with In Calamity's steps. His long spear flicked and twirled as he learned from In Calamity. Although he lacked the miraculous Shooting Skill of In Calamity, he began to grasp some of its essence. What was even more powerful was that In Calamity's Shooting Skill resonated with Vital Energy. With each move, Zheng Yifan absorbed the Vital Energy into his body, which gradually filled his meridians.
His body felt like a constellation, with Vital Energy illuminating it like sunlight. The modern blockages within his meridians were slowly being cleansed, while the power from In Calamity was being absorbed by Zheng Yifan's own pathways.
Slowly, In Calamity's Shooting Skill became nothing more than a shadow or a wisp of consciousness. Whenever Zheng Yifan sought to continue learning the Shooting Skill, that shadow would move and gradually reveal the most standard form of the Shooting Skill. The meaning lingered on, but it always lacked a soul, no longer possessing its miraculous power.
At first, there was no spear in his hand, but as he practiced, a wisp of white light gradually condensed into a long spear.
The Silver Spear, used by Yue Yinping in My Date with a Zombie: Eternal Kingdom, had not been able to unleash even one ten-thousandth of its power in her hands; it was merely an ordinary object.
In Zheng Yifan's hands, however, it was extraordinary because he had inherited In Calamity's Shooting Skill and was in an era brimming with Vital Energy. The Silver Spear absorbed the surrounding Vital Energy and became one with this world.
As he immersed himself in this experience, Zheng Yifan began to feel what truly set it apart.
Anything that clashed with nature could not gain recognition from Vital Energy and could not achieve optimal results. However, when he merged with the world's Vital Energy, his techniques became more agile and his strikes faster. The most enticing aspect was the breaking of the sound barrier; it might even overcome the hindrance of Light Speed.
Since merging with Vital Energy, these barriers had gradually weakened; soon enough, they would be nearly imperceptible.
With a half-crouch stance and a thrust of the spear forward followed by a slow flick upward,
the speed seemed slow enough for anyone to dodge easily. Yet within that flicker emerged a flash of silver light—Vital Energy sliced through the air like a storm, sweeping across the entire basement and continuing to dance wildly. A set of thirty-six Shooting Skills flowed like clouds and water; it was all about slowness—there was no speed here—no awareness of In Calamity’s seemingly slow yet actually fast realm.
For now, he could only move slowly; every attack had to be slow because only then could he unleash maximum power. If he increased his speed even slightly, it would reduce everything to mere gunplay without that special feeling.
The move Wildfire Spreading, after reducing its speed, unleashed flames that surged forth like a boiling Inferno, reminiscent of a Flamethrower spewing fierce fire. After completing a round of Shooting Skill practice and executing Wildfire Spreading several more times, the temperature in the entire basement had risen above one hundred degrees, with molten remnants of fire beginning to flow down the walls.
Hastily, Zheng Yifan left the basement and returned to his bedroom to change clothes, retracting the Silver Spear back into his Storage Space.
It seemed that the Silver Spear had not breathed fresh air for quite some time; it was restless in the Storage Space, constantly trembling and occasionally bouncing on its own.
Zheng Yifan decided to leave it there, as there was nothing particularly important stored inside. Besides a few bottles of Essence he had hidden in a corner one hundred meters high and blocked off with various items, everything else was trivial.
"You’re back?" Han Rui, now accustomed to Zheng Yifan's strange appearances and disappearances, stood before him with a smile.
For a moment, Zheng Yifan was stunned—truly stunned.
She was breathtakingly beautiful. He had never imagined that Han Rui could be so lovely, intelligent, and alluring; it seemed all praises could be attributed to her.
"Han Rui! You actually..." Zheng Yifan found himself at a loss for words to describe her. She was simply too beautiful. The most striking contrast was that he had taken time to adjust to her previously scarred face, but now that it had fully healed, he felt out of place, as if her gaze could easily find the scars on his own face.
"Are you feeling a bit unaccustomed?" Han Rui gently caressed her skin, her hands gliding slowly over her features.
For women, what Superpower could compare to their own appearance?
"Uncle Zheng, do you think I'm cute?" At that moment, Su Qin also appeared before Zheng Yifan. Her adorable face was finally free from ugly scars, and her mood brightened considerably. Dressed in a floral dress that complemented her cute face, she could melt anyone's heart.
"Cute! Su Qin is the cutest girl in the world." Zheng Yifan lifted Su Qin into the air and spun her around before setting her down.
"Yay... so I’m the cutest girl! That means my mom is the cutest among adults!" Su Qin continued to playfully tease with her charming voice.
It had been a long time since things felt this relaxed. During battles, the atmosphere in the Gathering Place had been tense. Now that the fighting was over, a clearer view of their surroundings began to emerge for everyone. A collective sigh of relief filled their hearts as laughter and joy gradually returned.
"Do you want to know what Superpower I got? I'm a superhero now, cooler than Spider-Man and Iron Man!" The Girl had recently become obsessed with superheroes, constantly fantasizing about marrying one.
Of course, she no longer cared about that. With a wave of Su Qin's right hand, a strand of green light emerged, and the flowers and plants on the ground of the General's Office slowly withdrew their branches as if welcoming the tender buds of spring. Even a few nearly withered weeds regained their vitality.
"That's quite an impressive Superpower. Does that mean our Su Qin will become the Nature Goddess?" Zheng Yifan shamelessly bestowed the title of Nature Goddess upon Su Qin. If the real Nature Goddess, Hera, had a spirit, one could only wonder if she would bring divine punishment upon Zheng Yifan.
Of course, it wouldn't fall upon Su Qin, as even the goddess would find it hard to act against her.
"Hehe! You shouldn't spoil her; she's just a gardener after all. It's fine for playtime, but who knows how much she'll be despised when she grows up?" Han Rui gently pinched Su Qin's ear to stop her from acting cute.
"This is really an impressive Superpower. Just think about it—what if her Superpower evolves to the point where she can catalyze and nourish Mutated Plants? Even if we take a Ten Thousand Steps back and say it can only be used on ordinary plants, our future food supply will definitely become a major issue. Her Superpower would then be fully realized, not to mention all the other nature-related tasks she could handle. This world cannot exist without nature, and humanity cannot exist without nature. In that light, her Superpower must be extremely advanced and rare."
"I'll give you that," Han Rui said happily as she pulled Zheng Yifan: "Come on, let me show you my Superpower."
With that, she dragged Zheng Yifan over to a nearby tent where several of Zheng Yifan's prized sports cars were stored. These vehicles couldn't be used at the moment, but that didn't stop Zheng Yifan from enjoying his collection.
After all, there were no cars as luxurious in the real world; compared to these cars, even the likes of Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Ferrari seemed weak.
Forced into an electric sports car, it suddenly trembled almost imperceptibly before actually driving off.
"What exactly is your Superpower?!" Zheng Yifan exclaimed in astonishment. He believed that if this Superpower could expand its range of use, it would undoubtedly mark a milestone in an Apocalyptic World, ushering in a new era.
