——But the ability that Olivia Smith possesses is somewhat different from others; it is a kind of ‘analysis’ that combines the computational power of his auxiliary parasitic system!
Any material, as long as he can touch it, he can completely analyze its specific components. At first, he could only reach the molecular structure, but when his personal auxiliary intelligent biochemical parasitic system evolved to the third stage, he could even fully analyze atoms, neutrons, and protons.
This ability seemed useless at first glance. After all, with the rapidly advancing technology of the time, there were all kinds of tools available to analyze the composition of a substance. In fact, as early as the twentieth century, people already had ways to do this. So at that time, Olivia Smith’s instructor, upon learning about it, directly dismissed it as worthless.
But only Olivia Smith himself truly understood the value of this ability. After graduating from high school, he was drafted into a certain airborne division of the military. At that time, he was competitive and never willing to submit to others. During his service, he became one of the few in the unit to master the strongest combat skills through relentless day-and-night training. Later, he stood out in several internal military competitions and was promoted to the rank of second sergeant.
He was in the limelight back then, but afterward, Olivia Smith gradually felt unable to make further progress, his strength stagnating for a long time, and even regressing at times.
It wasn’t until the auxiliary intelligent system ‘hatched’ and he gained this ability called ‘analysis’ that Olivia Smith was shocked to discover that his body had long been riddled with injuries from previous excessive high-intensity training. Many of these hidden injuries were completely undetectable by instruments.
There was no doubt that the technology at the time was indeed advanced. Others could use all kinds of high-tech devices to thoroughly examine their bodies. But none could, like him with the ‘analysis’ ability, observe the flow of every breath inside the body and every change in each cell during exercise. Before retiring, Olivia Smith clearly noticed that several muscles in his arm were already on the verge of collapse. If he continued with such high-intensity training, it might only take a small trigger to cause a ligament rupture——
This is also why, when Olivia Smith had a promising future and had already been internally recommended by his superiors to study at a military academy, he instead chose to retire from the army and turn to study sports health. He hoped that by learning this knowledge, he could find a way to heal his own body, and also hoped to find a truly reasonable path to becoming stronger!
After coming to this world, Olivia Smith was even more acutely aware of the tremendous advantage he had over others here, thanks to his biochemical parasitic system.
Chapter 0005: Yue Family Pharmacy
After practicing in the martial arts field for about another hour, and seeing that the sun was about to rise high in the sky, Olivia Smith looked up and glanced at the sky. Today the weather was clear, and those giant birds that usually soared across the sky were rarely seen. As for the Dark-Feather Thunder Eagle that William Parker was looking forward to, there was not even a trace of it. This was within his expectations; although eagle meat was delicious, if too many came, the trouble and damage caused to the city would be significant. Naturally, the night watchmen had thoroughly disposed of the dead eagle and all traces and scents, trying their best not to let the large flock of thunder eagles notice anything.
Olivia Smith withdrew his gaze with slight disappointment, then shook his sword-wielding right hand again. It felt a bit sore and weak, but he was still some distance from his training limit. However——
His gaze turned toward William Parker, who was being urged by a level-four martial artist to practice the fourth to seventh forms of the Furious Underworld King Axe. This axe technique was very simple, not much more advanced than the basic sword forms he was practicing—just a few horizontal and vertical chops with only slight differences in angle, requiring attention to the transitions. But simple as it was, combined with the 120-jin heavy axe, it was incredibly powerful. It was just right for William Parker to practice, and the instructors who chose this martial art for him did have some insight.
However, a 120-jin axe also placed a tremendous burden on the muscles and bones.
And repeating the same moves over and over was certainly helpful for William Parker to deeply memorize them, but after several hours, the muscles used for exertion were probably already at their limit. The little guy himself might not have noticed, but having examined William Parker’s body before, he could roughly judge the situation.
Shaking his head, Olivia Smith put the ironwood sword back on the weapon rack, then turned and walked out of the field without hesitation. Seeing his young master seemingly about to leave, the engrossed William Parker had to sheepishly smile at the instructor guiding him, then quickly slung the giant axe over his back and strode after Olivia Smith.
