Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087

Dr. Sun stared at Tang Ming with a face full of anticipation, wanting to figure out exactly what was going on:

"But it disappears quickly afterward, this power isn’t something a normal person can have, what’s going on here?"

Hearing this, Tang Ming fell silent. He didn’t expect Dr. Sun to have discovered the secret that his body could store energy.

This was the only person besides Tang Cha who had discovered the secret.

Thinking of this, Tang Ming’s eyes flickered with a cold light; this secret was extremely important.

Tang Cha had once warned him, not to let anyone discover the internal condition of his body, even if it meant dying.

But now, Dr. Sun had already discovered it. Should he try to erase her memory?

"Hey, I’m asking you something, why aren’t you speaking?"

Seeing Tang Ming staring at her blankly, Dr. Sun impatiently urged.

"Ah! It’s nothing, I was thinking about what exactly you’re saying."

Tang Ming reacted, looking at Dr. Sun with a confused face, "It seems I haven’t noticed anything special about my body, just that I react instinctively when in danger. I’m not sure about the specifics."

After some consideration, Tang Ming gave up the idea of taking action because he himself couldn’t figure out why his body had the function to store energy.

If this doctor in front of him could research it and come up with something, it could help solve many of his doubts.

Tang Cha also didn’t know why Tang Ming’s body could store energy. It wasn’t a martial art that Tang Cha had taught him.

It was only when Tang Ming was young that they discovered the boy could eat a lot, yet no one knew where the food went.

From then on, Tang Cha began to study Tang Ming’s body and unexpectedly discovered that Tang Ming’s body possessed the function of converting what he ate into body energy.

Subsequently, Tang Cha taught Tang Ming the martial art of eating poison to practice, and it turned out Tang Ming actually mastered it.

It can be said that the ability Tang Ming now has to practice martial arts by eating poison was an accidental outcome of Tang Cha’s teachings, already beyond Tang Cha’s own understanding.

Because he himself couldn’t convert food or poison into body energy.

"You don’t know what’s going on either?"

Dr. Sun frowned, staring at Tang Ming with suspicion, clearly not believing him.

"You don’t have to look at me like that; the matters inside my body are not within my control."

Tang Ming shrugged, curiously looking at Dr. Sun, "Since we’ve met today, can I ask you a few questions?"

"How was that Special Training Room in the base built, and why are there so many terrifying monsters? Also, how was the gravity-changing device invented?"

Tang Ming looked curiously at Dr. Sun.

After the Special Training ended, Tang Ming and the others inexplicably returned to the Training Room from an environment filled with monsters. Back then, he was hurrying to participate in the contest, so he didn’t have the time to ask more, but now he finally had the chance to inquire.

"This involves the scientific secrets of the Dark Group, I can’t tell you."

Dr. Sun shook her head firmly.

"Then what’s the point of talking?"

Hearing this, Tang Ming became displeased, "You want to research my body, but won’t even tell me the things I want to know. Why should I cooperate with you?"

Dr. Sun hesitated, clearly very concerned about the issues regarding Tang Ming’s body.

"Besides, don’t you know that I am now a benefactor and a prominent figure in the Dark Group? By helping the Dark Group faction win the first place in the contest, the entire Dark Group is very grateful to me. If I want to know something, they will surely be willing to tell me."

Seeing Dr. Sun hesitate, Tang Ming quickly continued to coax.

"Alright, as the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team of the Dark Group, I do have the authority to know this secret."

Dr. Sun relented, somewhat proudly introducing, "Actually, you who’ve undergone the Special Training never actually left the Training Room. The environment you entered and the monsters you saw were all illusions created by the system I designed."

Tang Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief, "That’s impossible. When I fought with the monsters, I clearly felt their presence. How could that be an illusion?"

"That’s the greatness of this system. The armor and items you wear in the Special Training Room, apart from changing weight and transmitting your body data, serve a greater purpose. They invade your neural system to create creatures that are terrifying enough to trigger your fear, thereby unlocking your potential."

Dr. Sun explained in greater detail.

"Damn, so we just spent seven days in that Special Training Room."

Tang Ming exclaimed with a sense of disgust, and thinking about how he and the others acted like fools inside the Training Room made him feel like he was going to break down.

"You can’t say it that way. Although what you saw were illusions, you did make breakthroughs against those things. In seven days, your strength at least doubled."

Dr. Sun rolled her eyes at Tang Ming, explaining seriously.

"I won’t argue with you about that."

Tang Ming sighed, speaking lifelessly, "No wonder we encountered so many unheard-of monsters; it was all fake. Killing monsters was fake, and being chased by monsters was also fake. Knowing the truth really makes it hard to accept."

"No matter what, it’s good that your strength broke through."

Dr. Sun was nonchalant; she had invested a lot of money and effort into researching this system.

The purpose was to tap into human potential, and now it was classified as top-secret within the Dark Group.

"Had we known this, we wouldn’t have tried so hard. Even if killed by monsters, there’d be no real danger to life. Why did we wear ourselves out like that?"

Tang Ming sulked and pouted.

Dr. Sun shook her head, squinting her eyes, "The illusions are produced by your neural system and will affect your nerves. If you are injured, your body will display injury reactions, leading to corresponding states of internal injury.

For instance, if someone had an arm bitten off by a monster, their real arm would lose sensation.

Because the nerve system would have concluded that the arm was done for, making recovery very unlikely."

Tang Ming jumped, nervously looking at Dr. Sun, "Then if someone died inside, would they die in reality?"

Dr. Sun shook her head with certainty.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness."

Tang Ming sighed in relief, quickly picking up his teacup to calm his nerves.

"If you died inside, it would mean a neural system collapse, turning the person in reality into an idiot."

Dr. Sun quickly added, "This is also why ordinary people don’t easily enter the Special Training Room, with a substantial risk of casualties associated with the training process."
