Chapter 3120: Evolution as Simple as Breathing

The words were all simple words, but when put together, they were just so hard to understand.
What did it mean to cut open internal organs, and what did it mean to sew them back together?
Shouldn't the most urgent thing now be to let a medical robot take over the treatment?
Sensen blocked Cui Tan, "Li De just accidentally touched Mr. Xu, and it might have happened to connect with the space rays. So the space rays inside his body were disrupted, and multiple parts of his body were cut. In this situation, unless Li De himself has very strong self-healing abilities, even if multiple robots are arranged for surgery, it's hard to guarantee he can survive."
Cui Tan naturally understood, but he understood one thing even more clearly: Xu Huo was a newcomer! He had just suddenly evolved here, not someone who had already mastered the ability to destroy and control the rays inside a human body from the start...
But since things had come to this point, he couldn't interfere anymore. "Miss Sensen, please arrange for a medical robot to come as soon as possible."
"Of course." Sensen lit up her communicator.
However, compared to the tension of the person involved and his friends, the other players were much calmer, mostly just envious of Xu Huo.
"Evolution really is as simple as breathing," someone couldn't help but say.
It was obvious that others had noticed it too. Before entering this room, Xu Huo had not yet reached the level where he could freely control the rays inside a human body. Yet, while evolving, he had also very quickly grasped the measure, stopping in time to avoid cutting Li De into pieces or slicing his brain into chunks. That was already incredibly impressive.
If anyone was to blame, it was Li De for being too careless. Given Xu Huo's performance in the Chaos Space, standing there motionless most likely meant he was having some kind of insight. At such a time, no matter the reason, one should not approach and disturb him.
Xu Huo quickly completed this surgery using space power as the main tool. In fact, Li De was also lucky. Xu Huo hadn't fully immersed himself in the process of familiarizing the space rays inside his own body. Once he crossed that barrier and connected the space rays within the human body to the external space, it became very easy. That was why Li De was affected. And because Xu Huo stopped in time, Li De's body wasn't completely shredded. The wounds inside and outside his body weren't too deep either, and his internal organs didn't suffer fatal damage. The most dangerous part was a major blood vessel that had been severed.
Fortunately, it was now sewn back together.
Helping Li De to a nearby chair to sit down, Xu Huo asked, "Feeling better?"
Li De managed a weak smile, "I think I might need to rest in bed for a few days."
Xu Huo patted his shoulder with a smile, "No big deal. You're not really split in half."
"Field will take full responsibility," Sensen also said.
Seeing Xu Huo turn his attention to other things in the room, Li De quickly said, "Just get me a wheelchair. I can still hold on."
"Don't push yourself," Cui Tan said. "Even if you stay here, you're not going to get any inspiration."
Whether it was Mr. Carmen's relics or Xu Huo as a living example right in front of them.
"Do you want me to suffer both physical and mental trauma?" Li De said resentfully.
Cui Tan shrugged. "Alright."
Field's people brought a wheelchair. To avoid misunderstandings, the wheelchair couldn't connect to human nerves, so Li De had to operate it manually. Since he couldn't move easily now, Cui Tan did it for him.
"Can space power be used for surgery?" The other players waited for a while, and seeing that Li De was genuinely better, they also found it astonishing.
They had seen plenty of people using space power to cause destruction. In fact, most Super Evolvers followed that path. This was the first time they had seen something cut open by space power sewn back together with space power. It was truly an eye-opener.
And it required no external intervention. In a situation where props and tools were unavailable, it was an absolute life-saving technique!
"I've heard of this before," another player said. "There are indeed people who evolve in this direction, but they are extremely rare, and the evolution is even harder."
No matter what, destruction is always easier than repair. Besides, evolving space power in this direction is indeed not very cost-effective for players. If one is naturally gifted, that's one thing, but painstakingly studying it is completely unnecessary.
"With today's advanced technology, nano-medicine is already widespread. It's indeed meaningless to spend energy on this for extreme situations," someone else said, then added after a pause, "Unless it comes naturally."
Xu Huo's current situation was exactly that—it came naturally.
He had achieved the materialization of space power, elevating his control over space rays to a higher level, allowing him to manipulate them more precisely. Naturally, he could also handle the complex human body.
They said it was useless, but who wouldn't want such a talent? He had only spent a few minutes on it!
After Xu Huo left, the other players couldn't help but pick up that Subclass Stone and examine it. But no matter how they fiddled with it, it was just an ordinary Subclass Stone.
Could Mr. Carmen have left some mechanism in this room that only someone who had evolved space power to a certain level could see?
But thinking about it was one thing; saying it out loud would only invite ridicule.
Xu Huo stopped in front of a special mirror prop.
Previously, there had been a shadow in that mirror, but this mirror showed nothing. Even when he stood still, no hand reached out from the mirror.
Recalling the layout of the previous room, the furnishings were exactly the same as here. It was clear that Carmen Field had a bit of an obsessive-compulsive streak. There was no reason for this mirror to be just an ordinary mirror. If that were the case, the one placed outside should also be an ordinary mirror. Otherwise, the mirror shouldn't appear in both rooms.
"Is there something special about this mirror?" Sensen waited quietly for a moment before asking. Seeing Xu Huo's gaze turn to her, she added, "This is indeed a prop, but the trigger conditions for props aren't necessarily the same."
"Do these mirrors change on their own?" Xu Huo asked.
Sensen paused. "Specifically..."
"The difference between when someone is present and when no one is," Xu Huo said.
"When no one is there, it's just an ordinary mirror. When someone is present, occasionally a mirror hand appears," Sensen said. "But it's not very dangerous."
A human hand condensing on the mirror's surface looked quite imposing, but its speed wasn't fast, and its movement trajectory was fixed. Whether it caught someone or not, it would slowly retract. It wouldn't pull people into the mirror. It was all show and no substance, more like a little toy for playing pranks.
Xu Huo glanced back at her, confirming she wasn't lying before turning his attention back to the mirror. Indeed, there was no shadow like in the previous mirror.
"I'll go back and take a look," he said.
Sensen immediately pointed to a painting in the same position. "Just go through here."
The group returned to the previous room. This time, they all gathered in front of the mirror. Sure enough, Xu Huo saw that shadow again in the darkness—a very small figure, seemingly lurking deep within the mirror, peering out.
After a moment's thought, he reached out and tapped on the mirror's surface, as if knocking on a door.
