Chapter 1135: Chapter 461: Gale Chains Chapter 1135: Chapter 461: Gale Chains Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo chatted for a while before Wang said,
“I’ll give you some Awakening Crystal Cores to get familiar with, I’m going to check on Han Rui.”

He sensed that Han Rui had also awakened.

“Okay!”

When Wang Tao arrived at Han Rui’s room, he felt a violent wind inside the room, with all sorts of items being blown around chaotically.

Whooosh–
The wild wind instantly enveloped Wang Tao as he opened the door.

Wang Tao immediately felt as if countless blade tips were gently scraping across his skin, while at the same time, thorny chains bound him tightly, rendering him immobile!

But with his naked eye, Wang Tao could see nothing.

Upon seeing Wang Tao come in, Han Rui immediately stopped waving her arms in the air, and the strange wind that bound Wang Tao also disappeared without a trace.

“Wang Tao, are you okay? I’m sorry, I didn’t see you coming…”

Han Rui quickly ran over and frantically checked Wang Tao for injuries.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand.

He certainly could have dodged just now, but he wanted to feel the effect of Han Rui’s Awakening, so he didn’t prepare to dodge.

“It’s good that you’re okay! I just awakened and got a bit too excited, I didn’t use my Perception Ability, so I didn’t know you entered the room…”

Han Rui was somewhat self-reproaching.

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head, then changed the subject, saying,
“This is… a Wind Element Awakening?”

It was the first time he had encountered this kind of Ability.

“Um, yeah, it should be the Wind Element! I’m controlling the wind!” Han Rui nodded eagerly, then jumped up excitedly, “I’ve finally awakened too!”

“Congratulations!”

Wang Tao firmly grasped her small hand, then looked at her Attributes.

[HP: 20000/20000]
[Mana: 50000/50000]
[Grade: Level 4]
[Internal Impurity: 2%]
[Awakening: Gale Chains]
[Gale Chains: Uses the wind to form chains that bind the target and cause damage]
Han Rui’s Awakening was not only the Wind Element that Wang Tao had never seen before, but it was also a controlling Ability!

Based on Wang Tao’s experience surviving the Apocalypse for so long, both controlling Abilities and Abilities in general were extremely rare, comparable in number to Healing.

Not counting Han Rui’s current Awakening, the only controlling Abilities Wang Tao had seen were two.

The first was Deputy Guild Leader Zhou Long from the Loyalty Guild with his [Black Quicksand].

This Awakening had decent controlling power and a large range. When they acted together before, enemies could not get out of the quicksand, being used as stationary targets.

But the downside of [Black Quicksand] was that Zhou Long himself could not move; he could not kill enemies and had to rely on teammates. Additionally, [Black Quicksand] could only control enemies moving on the ground, if enemies jumped over the area or could fly, then it had no effect… Hence, although [Black Quicksand] was strong, it also had significant limitations.

The second controlling Awakening Wang Tao had seen was Jiang Shixue’s [String Puppet].

[String Puppet] was formidable, an Ability that could directly control the target’s mind. Moreover, the opponent wouldn’t even realize it, completely unaware that they had been controlled, with no post-control memory. Theoretically speaking, as long as Jiang Shixue was strong enough, she could make the other party do anything…

Just looking at these, [String Puppet] seemed absurdly powerful. But its shortcoming was that the control time was extremely brief.

Previously, when they were dealing with the Fifth-Order Lord Night Fiend, Jiang Shixue could only control it for one second.

Although that one second was absolute control, even the Level 5 Night Demon couldn’t break free. But the time was too short; at that time, Wang Tao couldn’t inflict significant damage within that one second.

And the consumption of [String Puppet] was tremendous, starting at 100 Awakening Energy per use… Generally, Jiang Shixue would only use this Ability in critical moments.

Simply put, [Black Quicksand] controls the target’s body, to be precise, their legs, which is very limiting, but the control time is long; [String Puppet] controls the target’s consciousness, with short control time but absolute control, as the controlled target doesn’t know they have been controlled…

Compared with these two, Han Rui’s [Gale Chains] was different again; it was somewhat like [Black Quicksand], also controlling the body, but unlike [Black Quicksand], it doesn’t only control the legs, but the entire body of the target, even capable of controlling targets in the air, because it’s wind!

Wang Tao had just experienced it himself; he was firmly bound by the wind, whether it was his chest, neck, ankles, or even his fingers!

With his brute strength, he should have been able to break free, but that would certainly take some time. And Han Rui had not even used her full strength…

From what Wang Tao had felt so far, [Black Quicksand] was suitable for use during large-scale operations; [String Puppet] was suitable for fighting above one’s level in single combat, and [Gale Chains] was suitable for use in regular combat.

Of course, this was just Wang Tao’s feeling, the specifics still needed to be discussed with Han Rui and tested many times.

“Do you feel like you can still use your Awakening?”

Wang Tao asked.

“Yeah! I feel like I can use it many more times!”

Han Rui immediately responded.

“Oh? It seems the Energy consumption of your Awakening is very low!”

Wang Tao stroked his chin and remarked.

Having just awakened, Han Rui only had a 100 Awakening Energy. Many Awakenings started at 100 Awakening Energy per use; if Han Rui could use hers many times, it clearly indicated that the individual consumption for each use was low.
