As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the three women present all lit up. Just as Luo Yan said, no girl would refuse to become more beautiful.
The burly man also seemed a bit moved after hearing it: "Mr. Luo Yan, is what you said true? Can it really change gender?"
"What's true or false about it? Since you admire Ivankov so much, you should know that Ivankov's Hormone-Hormone Fruit can freely change a person's gender. Sex change is not such an incredible thing."
"You're right! I'm willing to drink this potion! This way I can get closer to Lord Ivankov!"
The burly man clenched his sandbag-sized fists, yet acted like a shy little girl. Luo Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded, quickly averting his gaze.
"The remaining three Hunter potions are for you three men. This pathway, at higher sequences, will turn women into men, so unless you're an Ivankov, I don't recommend women drink the Hunter potion. Of course, if any of you two wish to become male, I have no objections."
Upon hearing this, the remaining two girls quickly shook their heads. They were both people with normal gender identity and sexual orientation, and none of them wished to become men, so naturally, they were unwilling to drink the Hunter potion.
"Alright! The remaining two potions, one is called Sleepless. As the name suggests, after drinking this potion, you won't need much sleep. Two hours of sleep a day will be enough, giving you much more time than others in a day. The other potion is called Corpse Collector. Those who drink it can directly see spirits and have a high tolerance for the smell of decaying corpses. You two discuss among yourselves who drinks which potion."
Luo Yan originally thought they would hesitate, but he didn't expect them to drink the potions more decisively than imagined. Almost as soon as his words fell, they all picked up the potions and drank them in one gulp. For them, there were other ways to become stronger; they only needed to confirm that drinking the potions would not have unbearable negative effects.
Ten people drinking potions together immediately generated a powerful spiritual gathering, and all ten showed varying degrees of painful expressions. Luo Yan immediately spoke to remind them.
"Steady your mind, visualize things that don't exist in reality, and restrain your spirituality."
Luo Yan's voice exploded in the ears of the ten like a clap of thunder, but the effect was very obvious. The distorted expressions of the ten were all effectively relieved, and the abnormalities caused by consuming the potions gradually subsided. All ten successfully became Beyonders.
"Congratulations, you are now Beyonders. I'm sure you all have gained some knowledge from the potions, understanding the most basic things, such as what abilities you've acquired. I won't say more today. You've just consumed the potions, and your spiritual overflow is still very obvious. All of you go rest. Remember to come here tomorrow morning for lessons; I will teach you the necessary knowledge."
The ten clearly received the news about classes from Dragon, and they all agreed without objection, then left together.
The next day, Luo Yan began his first true mysticism class. Besides Luo Yan, there were fourteen people and one bird present: Dragon, ten Revolutionary Army Beyonders, as well as Xia Tali, Luo Ta, and Mite. The Revolutionary Army thoughtfully brought a blackboard and chalk for meetings.
"Cough! Ahem! Alright! Today is the first class, so I'll start by explaining what Beyonder means! Beyonder can also be called 'divinity'! In mysticism, the world was created by gods, and after creating the world, the gods split into everything in existence. Therefore, divinity exists in every living thing. The process of consuming potions can also be understood as the gathering of divinity. When divinity gathers to a certain extent, then a person will become an angel, or even a god!"
Luo Yan tried to make his voice sound more solemn, but no one present was moved. In this world where no Beyonder events, churches, or faiths had appeared, the idea of gods was not popular.
Seeing that his words did not achieve the desired effect, Luo Yan's mouth twitched, almost failing to maintain his composure.
"Ahem! This is just a saying; you just need to have this concept. There's no need to delve into it or truly believe it."
After he said this, the thirteen people present nodded in realization, while Dragon remained calm, with no expression on his face.
"Then I won't waste any more words and will directly move on to the first knowledge point, which is what Beyonders need to pay attention to. The most important thing Beyonders need to pay attention to is their mental state. Remember, at all times, ensure that you still have enough rationality. Once a Beyonder's mind collapses, then losing control is not far off. You usually..."
Luo Yan began to speak eloquently. This time, including Dragon, everyone listened very carefully, because this was solid, practical information. Luo Yan spoke with great enthusiasm, talking for over an hour straight, drinking water seven or eight times in between.
"Alright, that's all for today's class. We'll continue tomorrow!"
Luo Yan took another sip of water and announced the end of class. The "students" then reluctantly got up. They had all listened very carefully, even Xia Tali and the other two who had heard similar knowledge before. For them, the knowledge Luo Yan shared was inherently very interesting.
The ten members of the Revolutionary Army left together, and Xia Tali and the other two also left together to board the ship. They were going to prepare lunch. Luo Yan, on the other hand, planned to fly around and explore the island, partly to digest the Wind Favored One potion and partly to see if he could find Beyonder materials on the island.
However, just as the wind began to stir, Dragon's voice suddenly rang out: "Do gods really exist?"
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, and the swirling wind immediately dissipated into nothingness.
"I thought my subordinates would be the first to ask this question, but I didn't expect you to be the first to bring it up. Gods truly exist!"
Luo Yan nodded with a serious expression, giving an affirmative answer. Even if gods do not exist now, he cannot deny the existence of gods, because he needs the Revolutionary Army to believe that gods truly exist. This is his preparation for gaining an anchor in the future, and it is also why he is so enthusiastic about teaching the Revolutionary Army.
"Is that so? Then what is the name of that god? Is it related to the Celestial Dragons?"
"Haha! God created everything and is related to all life. In the eyes of God, a pig and a Celestial Dragon are essentially no different; both are weak lives with faint divinity."
Dragon was silent for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave, then suddenly remembered something and casually dropped a line: "This afternoon, I will teach you Haki."
"Thanks."
Luo Yan thanked him lightheartedly and began to explore the island, riding the wind. The island was not large, and the vegetation was not dense. Although there were some materials rich in spirituality, there were no Beyonder creatures, or perhaps the stronger creatures had already been cleared out by the Revolutionary Army.
