Chapter 149 Did you awaken any special abilities today?

William wasn't entirely clear on the concept of how abundant the energy truly was.

For him, a place abundant with energy was just slightly more comfortable, nothing more.

The magic circle he just created was not only more intricate than Hermes' Aura Field, but he had also used a drop of his own blood.

At this moment, all the trees in Hudson University had grown substantially, and a multitude of wild grass and flowers had sprung from the ground in just a short while.

"It shouldn't have a big impact, should it?" William wondered, gazing at the scene before him, slightly lost in thought.

His magic circle had elevated the energy of the entire world. Speaking of its impact on ordinary people, it actually might not be too significant.

In the ancient era of the gods, spiritual energy was so abundant, yet humans without the ability to enhance themselves remained extremely vulnerable. An abundance of spiritual energy meant a uniform living environment for everyone. However, nowadays, methods to enhance abilities as rich as in the ancient era no longer exist. Only a few mysterious organizations offer pathways to advancement, making a renaissance of the mystical civilization of that era nearly impossible.

It should be noted that in primitive times, there were many ancient gods and great demons, but now these entities have been eradicated. Countless heritages have been severed; even if spiritual energy were a hundred times richer, humans would at most only experience some physical improvements, living a few decades longer.

William sank into contemplation, letting out a sigh, feeling somewhat at a loss. If such a state persisted for hundreds or thousands of years, a complete system of mystical studies might reemerge in the world.

"I'll delve deeper into the magic circle later, and create a real small-scale Aura Field." William decided that once he fully grasped the secrets of the magic circle, he would dismantle the one he had created earlier.

He had essentially forcibly altered the course of human development.

The time was still early. William initially wanted to attend a class before returning to cook, but now all the students had come out, and all classes had been suspended.

Walking along the tree-lined streets of the school, William observed that the previously well-pruned trees were now much more lush, and even the cement ground was sprouting numerous wild plants. Groups of Hudson University students gathered in twos and threes, engaged in fervent discussions.

"This must be the legendary energy resurgence. Perhaps we might awaken some kind of special abilities."

"Is it really true? Do you feel stronger or have you awakened any special abilities?"

"Not at all, but seeing all this, it's clear that the world has changed. Maybe monsters will appear; after all, that's how it's written in novels."

Hearing the students' speculations, William couldn't help but smile.

Due to his actions, the world had undergone some minor changes, but even so, the physical constitution of ordinary people wouldn't change in a short period of time.

If one considered energy as a special kind of substance, ordinary people, who didn't even know how to convert this substance, couldn't possibly suddenly awaken to special abilities.

It could only be said that living in such an environment for a long period would improve one's health, and perhaps, if given even more time, the body's innate ability to absorb energy might grant some special abilities.

This time, the biggest beneficiaries would probably be the Soulmancers and some already mutated monsters.

It wasn't long before William encountered Wyatt and their trio.

The three were also discussing the day's events with great enthusiasm.

Wyatt asked excitedly, "William, have you awakened any special abilities?"

"No," William retorted, "Have you?"

Wyatt replied seriously, "I haven't found out yet, but I think I have probably awakened. Maybe it needs some sort of spell and a testing crystal ball or something."

William narrowed his eyes slightly. What was a testing crystal? Even in the ancient era of the gods, there wasn't such a thing.

Paul added, "The situation occurring now indeed matches the energy resurgence scenario depicted in fantasy novels."

William inquired, "What?"

Upon the mention of fantasy novels, Wyatt became excited, pulled out his phone, flipped open a novel-reading app, opened a book, and said, "William, don't you read novels? Anyway, many of them write about this kind of scenario. According to the plot, it won't be long before some monsters appear and then we all will acquire special abilities."

William took the phone and flipped through a few pages; the energy resurgence scenario written here basically matched the current situation, but as for what happened next...

Unless William chose not to erase the magic circle he had drawn earlier, perhaps scenarios mentioned in it might occur decades or centuries later.

After returning the phone to Wyatt, William made up his mind; he would erase that magic circle within a month at most.

The present peaceful state of society was quite good, and he couldn't let his changes give rise to so many Soulmancers, potentially leading to chaos and wars anew.

Regardless of what William was thinking, today was destined to be an extraordinary day. After some idle chatter with Wyatt and the others, he went home. He had heard there were no classes in the afternoon, so there was no need to go to school.

Upon reaching East 62nd Street, the trees along some roads in the old city area were even more lush, and the plane tree in William's yard had grown significantly too.

All the way home, William saw many people clearing the newly sprouted wild grass and flowers. He believed that in no more than two days, everything would return to normal. With the current technology, there were many ways to prevent weeds from growing on the roads.

In a few days, these ordinary people would realize that they hadn't awakened any special abilities, and then life would go back to how it used to be, doing what they were supposed to do.

"Master, you're back? It was so dramatic just now, a lot of flowers and plants suddenly grew in the yard." Alice excitedly said upon seeing William, "And this plane tree has sprouted many new leaves."

William responded, "I saw it on my way back."

Bella chimed in, "I saw the news, similar situations are happening all over the world. I have no idea what happened."

William, the initiator of all this, nonchalantly said, "I have no clue either, let's just cook."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, after all, it's not something bad, it must be a blessing from the heavens." Alice could clearly feel that the surrounding energy had become much more abundant. Following the method taught by William to enhance her abilities, her speed had increased considerably. Yet, she felt nothing was amiss, perhaps because William taught her well and she was naturally clever.

She could never guess that all of this was triggered because William wanted to create a small Aura Field for her.

As William was about to enter the kitchen, Maria's voice came from behind him, "William."

"Maria, you're back? Have lunch at my place." William had already sensed Maria's presence, turned around, and smiled at Amy, "How about it? I told you I know your mom, didn't I?"

Amy, holding Maria's hand with a puzzled look, eventually made a face at William and asked, "Mr. Johnson, are you going to kill little rabbits again today?"

Sure enough, whether William knew her mom or not was never the key issue.
