The next day, Fang You opened his eyes.
It was a white ceiling.
He reached out his hand, and the mobile phone not far away automatically flew into his palm. He skillfully swiped open the screen and saw it was 4:15. He then opened the Salvation Game and glanced at it, finding it uninteresting.
Awake, it was time to train.
Ah, he was so diligent.
As expected of me.
After washing up, Fang You went to the training ground, yes, Training Ground Number Two.
Training Ground Number One was already in use.
Black Blade and Master Ming Deng.
They were practicing Blade Slash.
Fang You entered the second ground, closed the door, and continued to explore the methods of using the Heavenly Net Hand.
The extreme range of the invisible hand was about thirty meters, but the most suitable range for use was within fifteen meters. At this distance, the consumption was very small and it could be used for a long time.
It could be considered the normal usage range.
Beyond that was the combat usage range.
In addition to its range, the invisible hand could also be ‘enlarged’.
In its normal state, the invisible hand was as large as his palm, but if enlarged…
Twice!
Four times!
Six times!
Not far away, a transparent palm the size of a millstone was faintly outlined as he controlled it.
Boom—
With a slap, the entire training ground trembled.
A palm print over a meter long was left there.
As the training ground self-repaired, the palm print slowly faded and disappeared, and the ground became smooth again.
“This power…”
Fang You’s eyes widened.
As the invisible hand enlarged, its power increased exponentially, and of course, the consumption increased by more than ten times.
It was strong, but not very suitable for combat.
With his current life energy, he could only perform about seven or eight slaps.
Low cost-effectiveness.
Well, but if used for showing off, it seemed quite worthwhile.
“But the Heavenly Net Hand’s strongest point is not its attack, but its support.”
“The invisible hand + enlargement + palm thunder formed the true ultimate move.”
Fang You gently extended his palm.
Ten meters away, the air hummed, and a huge hand could be faintly seen.
Suddenly, the hand glowed with lightning. Blue arcs of lightning flowed from the fingertips to the palm, and then recirculated from the palm to the surroundings. Brilliant lightning enveloped the entire giant hand.
It turned from a faint transparency to a brilliant blue.
Radiant!
This was the Lightning Hand Seal!
With the surge of violent lightning energy and the amplification of the invisible hand’s enlargement, Fang You found it a bit difficult to control.
He dared not maintain it for long.
With a thought, the Lightning Hand Seal fell straight down.
Boom!!
This time, the training ground truly shook. Dust flew everywhere with a rumbling sound, and a scorched, giant palm print was imprinted in the center of the training ground.
This time, the ground did not recover its flatness for a long, long time.
Uh, did he break it?
Fang You walked over and squatted down to observe for a while. Fortunately, it was slowly recovering and would probably be flat again tomorrow.
As expected of a professional training ground.
Even without the focused buff, such a venue was indeed impressive, with ample training equipment and self-repairing grounds.
Unfortunately, it still couldn't withstand his destruction.
He had to wait for an upgrade; the E-class training ground was a bit lacking.
“Moreover, the Lightning Hand Seal is still not my full burst state.”
“The Lighthouse Mode hasn't been activated yet, and the Burning Fire Belief hasn't even been used. If I were to fully unleash them…”
He didn't dare to try.
Fang You continued to train for over an hour, then had a hearty breakfast before taking out his phone and switching to…
Well, the perspective of the new Apostle, ‘Xing Jinglei’.
He saw a man sound asleep, his blanket pulled to the floor, revealing his hairy legs.
Damn, close it.
Of course, he hadn’t truly forgotten. How could a gacha game be without Apostles!
This was called tactical forgetting.
After all, Xing Jinglei was a real-world Apostle. Unlike Black Blade or Yin Ling, who were very self-aware about their duties, or newbies like An Jianyou who were easily fooled.
Xing Jinglei was not like that.
He was a wild, rare awakened one.
Such a person would already know many secrets and have encountered many people and supernatural entities. His vigilance would naturally be very high. Fang You felt that trying to fool him with anything wouldn't work, so it was better to let him cool down for a while, and then hit him with something big.
He brought up the panel.
[Xing Jinglei (First Awakening)]
[Physique: 7.6]
[Spirit: 2.4]
[Mystery: 16.6]
[Life Energy: 5.52]
[Skills: Basic Fist Arts (Proficient: 15.9%), Basic Sword Arts (Beginner: 55.6%)]
[Equipment: None]
[Talent: Ghoul-Slaying Body]
[Ability: Explosive]
Xing Jinglei’s basic dual dimensions were quite high. At first glance, it was only slightly higher than Black Blade’s ‘Peak First Awakening’, but Black Blade had consumed ‘Physique Enhancement Pills’ and practiced several skills at Proficient, Mastery, and Expert levels.
He had also trained day and night to raise his dual dimensions.
Xing Jinglei, as a wild awakened one, did not have these conditions.
But he had a talent.
—
[Ghoul-Slaying Body]
[Description: Holders of this talent can directly touch supernatural entities, greatly weakening the ‘toxic’ effects of supernatural entities. Furthermore, when killing supernatural entities, there is a chance to plunder materials from the supernatural entity, and a small chance to plunder supernatural energy, increasing their own Physique and Spirit.]
—
[Explosive]
[Description: This ability allows the awakened one to cause an explosive effect on the target they come into contact with during an attack.]
Xing Jinglei’s awakened ability was an offensive type, very strong and practical.
Of course, this awakened ability was just decent.
It was the talent that appeared powerful and incredible.
It combined ‘killing’, ‘collecting’, and ‘plundering’ effects.
Xing Jinglei’s considerably high dual dimensions were obtained through ‘plundering’. Although there must be many limitations involved.
Fang You had also observed Xing Jinglei briefly yesterday, and through some actions, he could roughly deduce Xing Jinglei’s identity.
— A ghoul hunter.
It was reasonable for Xing Jinglei to enter this profession with his talent. He seemed a bit defiant, and trying to fool someone like him was not suitable; he needed to…
…
In an ordinary small inn, Xing Jinglei, still groggy, got out of bed.
Damn!
Yesterday, he couldn't sleep for half the night thinking about that voice, and his sleep quality was very poor. He also heard the loud noises from the couple in the next room, making Xing Jinglei want to punch a hole through the flimsy wall.
Hoo hoo hoo~
He took a cold shower.
It was the middle of winter, but a cold shower didn't feel cold to him; it only felt refreshing, and the irritation in his heart gradually cooled down.
However, the voice from yesterday.
“You are the chosen one.”
A shadow loomed in Xing Jinglei’s heart. He had originally been tracking a ghoul to hunt it, but after hearing that voice, he immediately abandoned the hunt and returned to the inn in town.
No, this town wasn’t safe either.
If that voice belonged to a powerful ghoul, and he had already been targeted, then a distance of twenty or thirty kilometers couldn’t guarantee his safety.
He had heard some rumors.
Thinking of this, Xing Jinglei immediately packed his luggage. As the sky was just beginning to brighten, he got into a minivan heading to the city, then bought a ticket without delay and took a bus to the neighboring city, then booked a high-speed train ticket online, arriving in the provincial capital of Yunling Prefecture that afternoon.
Stepping out of the high-speed train station and looking at the bustling provincial capital with its still busy roads, Xing Jinglei revealed a smile.
A distance of hundreds of kilometers, no matter how powerful the ghoul, it couldn't affect this great me, right?
Caw caw!
He immediately checked into a five-star hotel, threw his luggage down, poured himself a glass of red wine, and just as he raised it to swirl…
“You are the chosen one.”
“I will grant you even greater power.”
“May you, transform into a torchbearer under the night, illuminating the eternal night that is about to engulf the world.”
Xing Jinglei’s expression stiffened, and the wine glass fell with a clatter.
Before he could be alarmed, the surrounding space suddenly changed.
It transformed into an ancient training ground.
A man whose face could not be seen said to him, “Do you know what a cannon fist is?”
