Advancement GET.
Coffin Repair GET.
Fang Shu's Independent GET.
The three goals were suddenly completed, but Huai Shi didn't feel the slightest bit of reality. He could only confirm it repeatedly. Seeing that Fang Shu could finally walk out of the stone essence hall and no longer be bound here, Huai Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't feel the ecstasy he expected.
Instead, he felt peace and joy from the bottom of his heart.
It was a success.
Then, it was time for the main event.
After being dragged back to the basement by Crow, he began to test Young Master Ming's various abilities.
The first was strength and speed. These two points didn't need to be mentioned at all. With so many high-grade materials as a foundation, if Huai Shi still couldn't reach the standard after his advancement, he should just cut his own neck and apologize.
First was the strength test. The average level here referred to the average level of the combat ability's Stigmata. Except for a few strange Stigmata that strengthened their strength to the limit, Huai Shi wouldn't be inferior to any Level 3 Sublimator.
If he added the Drummer's buff and Drummer Yu's Footwork, Huai Shi could simply arm wrestle with the previous Er Lai.
Well, although it would be troublesome if he used too much strength and broke his wrist … But before that, it was enough for Er Lai to suffer.
The next test was endurance.
It was terrifying.
Without taking into account other skills, after continuously punching with all his strength for half an hour and smashing the steel plate in front of him into a pulp, Huai Shi didn't feel the slightest bit tired except for a little pain in his hand.
If it was the original, he would have been exhausted.
"That's normal. Originally, Hillghost's recovery speed was frighteningly high. Now that you've advanced, if you don't consider the limits of your bones and muscles, you can maintain a highly efficient output for 24 hours."
Crow rolled a pen on his wings and tapped on the notebook: "However, being able to break even is already very scary. Next —"
Huai Shi was best at speed.
Limited by the scope of the room, it was impossible to test long-distance running. However, it was more based on endurance, so there was no need to spend time testing it.
Today's test was more inclined towards Huai Shi's improvement in explosive power and short-distance sprinting.
When Huai Shi easily completed six leaps between the ceiling and the wall and appeared at the other end of the basement like a ghost, he couldn't help but feel a burst of comfort from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm done!"
He was certain that he was now above Van Helsing, who was once at the peak of rank 3. He could do all the techniques that Van Helsing could do in the past, and even more easily.
As for the attack speed, after repeated attempts and adjustments by Huai Shi, he was now able to adjust the virtual metronome in his mind to a terrifying 416 beats per minute.
Twice as fast as a conventional metronome.
Under ideal conditions, Huai Shi, who was fully focused, could launch six attacks in one second, and that was more than enough.
With the increase in his muscle strength and speed, the chord technique that he had learned from Elder Luo was naturally integrated. Now, the time he needed to accumulate power had been shortened to the limit.
Three-degree chords were at his fingertips.
As long as he prepared in advance for one second, he could easily perform a nine-chord chord that overlapped five notes at the same time.
Huai Shi could still work harder, but what limited him was not his ability, but the number of weapons.
The original Sword of Virtue had also been integrated into the Stigmata as a material during the advancement. Like the sacrificial knife, he didn't need to carry it with him anymore. He could pull it out from his soul with just a thought.
Other than the Rope of Sorrow that wasn't good at direct attacks, there were the Axe of Wrath, the Sacrificial Knife, the Spear of Compassion, the Hammer of Pain, and the Sword of Virtue.
These were the equipment that Huai Shi was most comfortable with.
As for the other border relics, even if he could barely use them, they didn't have such a sense of harmony.
There was no doubt that even if it was only an improvement in the basic physical fitness, it was a qualitative change!
And as a support type Stigmata, after Young Master Ming's advancement, the original Mountain Ghost's talent had also been strengthened. It had advanced to 'Life Diversion', and its ability to survive had been further improved.
As for the Yin Soul, which was one with the Mountain Ghost, its ability had also been improved — Death Absorption.
Back when she was still a ghost, Huai Shi had been able to extract ash from a person's fear and despair before they died. Now, her ability had improved to the point where she was able to extract Origin Substance from the ash in reverse.
Even if Huai Shi's technique was still too rusty, and this conversion efficiency was less than one-tenth, it was still enough to shock people.
"Isn't this like killing people to recover mana?"
Huai Shi was stunned. This skill didn't seem like it came from a righteous sect at all!
Why was his style becoming more and more like a villain?
No, it seemed like he had been walking the path of a villain from the very beginning … …
"Less than one-tenth of the conversion efficiency can only be said to be better than nothing. Perhaps it can be supplemented when necessary, but if you really want to rely on this to survive, you might as well become an Evil Soul.
Extract ashes from the soul, and then extract Origin Substance from the ashes. After these two conversions, how much can you refine? "
The Crow didn't seem to care at all. "The Northern European Evil Souls can suck people out as soon as they catch them. Every breath counts, and the efficiency is more than 98%. Compared to them, you're just a little brother.
In the end, it's just a bonus to the Young Master of Life. Don't worry about that. Let's get to the main point, okay? Release your Stigmata! "
When Huai Shi heard this, he took a deep breath and finally activated the Sacred Mark in his body.
It seemed to instantly turn into mist and spread out. Immediately after, the mist condensed back into a human figure. After a moment of floating, Huai Shi's silhouette appeared again, standing in the middle of the basement.
He looked at his hands.
Under the thin T-shirt in front of his chest, the tear that had disappeared after the advancement had reappeared.
Streaks of pure white lines extended out like tattoos, overlapping with each other, wrapping around the limbs, covering the fingertips, and even extending to the collar, outlining an indescribable emblem and coat of arms on the neck.
Incredible.
It was as if he had lost weight.
Huai Shi earnestly took a few steps forward. He felt lighter than he had ever felt before, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't control his body.
It was as if, with just a thought, he could … …
Bang!
Huai Shi's vision went dark. He slammed into the wall that was originally ten steps away and fell backwards.
It happened too quickly. He didn't even have time to react.
As if he had expected this, the Crow laughed gloatingly. He lowered his head and looked at Su Chen. "After the Young Master of Life's Sacred Mark is activated, your body will become the purest conductor of Origin Substances. You won't lose any of your Origin Substances, and your Origin Substances can directly interfere with your body — — to a certain extent, it really is quite easy to think about.
However, it's best if you don't think about things that are not suitable for children when you activate it. Otherwise, you'll make a fool of yourself! "
Just like those evil immortals in the legends.
— — I can teach you Midas Touch, but when you use it, you definitely can't think about that big rock at the entrance of the village.
Once this thought is planted in your mind, there is no way to stop it.
Huai Shi's face instantly turned green. He tried his best to control himself, but his efforts were futile … … Images that were not allowed to appear in the Book of Destiny kept appearing in his mind. All he wanted to do was press this stupid Crow to the ground and give it a good beating.
Finally, the Crow had seen enough of a joke. He raised his wings and pointed in the direction of Huai Shi's original position.
"Look over there."
Huai Shi raised his head and looked over. Then, he saw … … himself.
No, it should be said that it was his former self.
Just like when you waved your hand under a light, you would see your fingers leave behind afterimages. Huai Shi was actually able to see the faint outline of himself that he had left behind in his original position.
These outlines had followed Huai Shi's advance and were evenly spread out along the path that he had left behind.
They didn't disappear for a long time, as if they had already been engraved into the air.
And when Huai Shi got up, he was able to see the faint outline of his body on the ground.
Every time he took a step, he would leave behind a faint shadow.
It was like a picture taken by a high-speed camera.
"What is this?"
"This is the qualitative change in the Path of Heaven's Inquisition after reaching the third level. It is also Young Arbiter of Life's most important Innate Skill — — Shadow Burial."
"That's it?" Huai Shi was in disbelief. He didn't understand why the Crow was so serious about this, and he didn't know what the use of an Innate Skill that left behind afterimages was.
But just as he was in a daze, he discovered, to his surprise, that the afterimages that he had left behind in his original position had begun to move on their own accord.
As soon as Huai Shi relaxed his control, they began to wander around the room.
Some were running around, some were lying on the ground, some were standing upside down, and some were even scratching their feet … …
Very quickly, as the Origin Substance was cut off, the afterimages quickly dissipated.
They were like bubbles that had been popped.
"Do you know why the Path of Heaven's Inquisition is the most effortless and difficult to control path in the Celestial genealogy? It is simply too difficult to smoothly unleash this power. There are simply too many things that are required. "
The Crow tilted his head and glanced at him. "Why don't you look at your right hand?"
Huai Shi lowered his head suspiciously and looked at his right hand.
Only then did he discover that the Nibelungen Ring had disappeared.
At the base of his index finger, a faint golden rune that looked like a tattoo had actually merged with the Sacred Insignia.
It was as if the Sacred Insignia had been attached to his body without any gaps.
And inside … … the space, which had already reached its limit, began to expand once again.
In the past, three ghosts would have been enough to fill up the ranks, but now, with Huai Shi's improvement, the number of ghosts had increased by several times. And in the middle, a new layer of Origin Substance had appeared, slowly brewing and absorbing the Young Arbiter of Fate's Origin Substance to replenish the army.
Huai Shi felt that he could use Death Absorption to replenish the negative Origin Substance at any time.
After Huai Shi had become a Third Grade Young Arbiter of Fate, the upper limit of the space had increased by a frightening amount.
Originally, when Huai Shi was a Mountain Ghost, he could only create three ghosts. Now, however, those three ghosts had simultaneously advanced along with Huai Shi, becoming Mountain Ghosts. And under each Mountain Ghost, three new openings had appeared.
How come it was like a pyramid scheme, where it could be developed offline?
