The straight-line Activity wave — this was, without doubt, yet another mode of wielding the Activity wave.

In fact, metal's capacity to become life relied precisely on Activity's various special modes of oscillation and combinatory structures.

Just as DNA had only four deoxyribonucleotides — yet by means of those four, adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, it could compose life in every strange and wondrous form.

The Activity wave, by means of different permutations and combinations, could likewise form special effects in every strange and wondrous form — a foundational order of rules running parallel to current physics.

The two had much in common, yet were hard to intersect.

Take thermal weapons: their kinetic and thermal energy, forged into a missile, was enough to topple heaven and blot out the earth — but collide it with Activity material, and nine-tenths of that full effect, at least, was subtracted.

Likewise, the peculiar Activity oscillations of Activity material had tremendous harming power — a Mushroom Cannon could punch through the bone-gold shell of a peerless jin beast. Yet faced with an iron vessel of no great defense, it was helpless.

On the whole, Activity material had a slight edge — after all, the sharpening reaction could cut through physically hard objects like slicing tofu. Activity's oscillations needed no powerful kinetic or thermal energy to drive them, and were more easily mastered by an individual.

The evolution of metal and Activity was, precisely, what made an individual stronger.

"Can I master this straight-line Activity wave?" Shen Cong extended a hand, meaning to use willpower to guide his own Activity wave and imitate the straight-line Activity wave the exploding spore powder had produced.

To date, he had already mastered countless modes of Activity oscillation.

The "Talent"-form Activity wave, which displayed his own Activity Value.

The "natural carrier vehicle"-form Activity wave, which simulated another party's Activity wave to guide it.

The "Third Eye" and "Third Eye Radar"-form Activity waves, biomimicked from fog fungi.

The "Cicada Language"-form Activity wave, biomimicked from the Golden Cicada.

The "Mind-Imprint"-form Activity wave of thought-entanglement.

The "pressure aura"-form Activity wave of radiative…
