Yang Fan looked at her carefully and said softly, "There's a slight mismatch between the soul and the body, but it's nothing serious."
Su Yuxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact.
Just as Gaba Muda had heard, Yang Fan was currently conducting a very astonishing research—how to awaken superpowers in ordinary people.
The reason Yang Fan was doing this was that the Supreme Treasure Soul-Stealing Wisp had absorbed far too many superpowers and had recently surpassed the 8000 mark.
And it was obviously impossible for him to activate so many superpowers, or else his soul would inevitably collapse.
He naturally thought of one thing—could these superpowers be activated in others?
However, there was a big problem in this.
Namely — soul compatibility.
In a sense, the essence of a Supreme Treasure is the Power of Law.
Any creature that obtains a Supreme Treasure will have it fused into their soul.
And when the Soul-Stealing Wisp absorbs a superpower, it automatically converts it into a "Seed of Superpower" suitable for Yang Fan's soul.
His own activation of superpowers is akin to transferring something from his left hand to his right hand.
But implanting the Seed of Superpower into someone else presents the problem of soul incompatibility.
This is why Yang Fan launched this experiment.
Currently, there are three participants in this experiment, all of whom volunteered to join.
Su Yuxuan is one of them.
Yang Fan once told her there was a certain probability of death for participants, but she resolutely joined the experiment.
Based on Su Yuxuan's soul characteristics, he selected a superpower called "Ice Condensation" to implant in her.
He adopted a cautious strategy, dividing the Seed of Superpower into ten "Superpower Embryos," implanting one-tenth at a time at intervals.
The advantage of this method is higher safety; if any issues arise, the experiment can be stopped immediately.
The downside, however, is that because the Seed of Superpower is not implanted as a whole, the power and potential of the superpower are reduced.
Currently, Su Yuxuan has already been implanted with the second Superpower Embryo, showing significant physical anomalies and has mastered a few superpower traits.
Yang Fan then said, "Let me see how well you have mastered the superpower traits."
Su Yuxuan immediately brought over a glass of water, holding it with her right hand, staring intently at it.
Ten seconds later.
A wisp of white mist appeared above the glass.
This was not steam, but moisture that had liquefied due to low temperatures.
Thirty seconds later.
A thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the glass.
Two minutes later.
The entire glass of water turned into a block of ice.
Su Yuxuan was a bit tired but still flashed a lovely smile, "Compared to three days ago, it's five seconds faster."
Although this level of superpower trait isn't worth mentioning, there are countless people online stronger than her, too many to count.
But to those in the know, this is a very astonishing fact.
Yang Fan had not named the experiment, but someone gave it a name—the Nuwa Plan.
Any Great Xia person knows the weight of this name.
In the myth, Nuwa created humans from clay, bestowing life upon inanimate objects.
In the eyes of many, this experiment bestows superpowers upon ordinary people, a significance comparable to that legend.
Yang Fan thought for a moment, then instructed, "Keep practicing. When the time is reduced to one minute, you should be able to proceed to the third phase of the experiment."
Su Yuxuan responded enthusiastically, "Understood!"
Yang Fan added, "Your temperament is quite suited for the Vast Tao, one of the Six Paths of Canglan. Practice more when you have time. If you enter it early, the next phase of the experiment could be advanced considerably."
Su Yuxuan nodded emphatically, "Okay."
She then mentioned a piece of news, "By the way, not long ago, the Asia-Oceania Union announced that due to the impact of frost disasters, they decided to increase the price of iron ore by 80%."
The year before the Age of Calamity, Great Xia imported over 1.6 billion tons of iron ore, accounting for more than seventy percent of global iron ore trade single-handedly, truly living up to the name "Industrial Cthulhu."
In the first year after the Age of Calamity, Great Xia underwent intense domestic adjustments, with imports plummeting to 800 million tons, a decrease by half.
As Great Xia's economy recovered at a super-fast pace, construction went into overdrive across the country, and last year it skyrocketed crazily to 2.2 billion tons, already surpassing pre-Age of Calamity levels.
Incidentally.
Since Great Xia's industrial products are popular worldwide, resulting in a massive trade surplus, Great Xia is also willing to purchase large quantities of minerals and raw materials from other countries.
Otherwise, merely exporting goods without importing anything makes trade meaningless, akin to charity.
Su Yuxuan couldn't help but comment, "Australasians are truly a bunch of knaves; it's clear they want to offset the losses caused by the frost disaster onto us."
Originally, this was a minor issue.
But anyone with a slight awareness of current events knows that behind the Asia-Oceania Union are the Carmenians.
The 80% spike in iron ore only means one thing—the Carmenians are up to something.
Yang Fan frowned, "Could it be that the Carmenians intend to counter our Great Xia-dominated civilized trade by manipulating commodity resource prices?"
Su Yuxuan nodded, "It seems so."
Each set of the War Fist Series exoskeletons requires at least several hundred kilograms of steel, and for five million sets of exoskeletons and related components, plus the construction of supporting factories, it requires at least three million tons of steel.
The Asia-Oceania Union is the world's largest exporter of iron ore, with an ore grade of about 60%, classified as high-grade ore.
Three million tons of steel corresponds to five million tons of iron ore.
Although this amount is not much, the intent of the Carmenians is as clear as day—they aim to exploit Great Xia people by raising iron ore prices.
