The Isis Church proposed an exchange. Cyril could ask them to hire helpers to guard the stronghold. They would be paid at fixed intervals.
Cyril, on the other hand, had to provide the church with sufficient convenience and intelligence.
The Isis Church seemed certain that the stronghold would be attacked by monsters, so the liaison they sent was calm but also slightly arrogant.
Lu Sheng's disciples immediately went up to fight. Fortunately, Isra mediated in the middle, and the conflict didn't break out.
However, after this conflict, it was no longer possible for Cyril to ask for the assistance of the church to protect him.
Lu Sheng also vaguely noticed that after he taught the Assassination Fist, his disciples became more and more hot-tempered as their combat power increased.
In particular, the Phantom Fiend Fist had great dodging ability and accuracy, which could greatly improve spear skills. In the era of firearms, the rapid improvement of spear skills meant the rapid improvement of one's combat ability.
In just seven days, the outer sect disciples of Ten Hearts Phantom Fiend Gate didn't make much progress in fist skills, but their spear skills had almost reached the level of elite gunners.
A few of them were gunners themselves, and they had even reached the level of a sharpshooter who could shoot with great accuracy from a hundred steps away.
Lu Sheng filtered out another fifteen people from Cyril, who wanted to be his disciple out of admiration for him. They were accepted as outer sect disciples and taught the basic complex algorithm of the Phantom Fiend Fist.
There were still some monsters that were hard to deal with between the three strongholds. Isra led some people to attack them.
Everything was moving in the right direction.
"It's about time …"
Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes. The subtle adjustments in his body that had been adapting to the changes were finally completed at this moment.
Under normal circumstances, only a certain part or a certain domain could be improved. In order to maximize the power, all the other parts of the body would focus on the strengthened ability and adjust themselves.
For example, an explosion of power required the coordination of muscles, fascia, and bones. It was an extremely precise combination of movements.
After the increase in power, the other parts had to keep up as well. Otherwise, he might lose control of his power or accidentally hurt himself.
At this moment, Lu Sheng's power was finally fully adapted.
This meant that his body was ready for the next stage of strengthening.
Ever since he came to this world, he had always felt a sense of urgency, especially after he saw Princess Corpse Worm kill the Black Serpent, who was also a Heavenly Demon.
"Indigo."
Lu Sheng thought to himself.
A light blue interface suddenly popped up.
Lu Sheng's gaze fell on the first box.
"Illusionary Heart Style Assassination Fist, Ten Illusionary Demon Fist: 11 stages. (Special traits. Sensory confusion. Bewitching Ten Rings. Movement without inertia.)
This was the power that came with the eleventh stage.
Perception Confusion and Bewitchment Ten Rings were from the previous ten stages. Only this independent movement was the key ability that allowed Lu Sheng to walk all the way here without suffering any damage.
He was only at Rank 11, yet he was able to defeat so many monsters whose physiques far surpassed his without suffering any injuries.
It relied on this inertial movement.
This ability allowed him to maintain a state of explosive speed for an extremely short period of time. He could even ignore inertia, stop at will, and change directions at will.
After Lu Sheng's modifications, the Illusionary Demon Fist's power was greatly increased. Coupled with this terrifying and bizarre speed, and Lu Sheng's martial path tier which was at Grandmaster Stage …
With this combination, as long as his opponent's speed was not too much faster than his, he was practically undefeatable.
'Unfortunately … this isn't invulnerable power … There's still a flaw.' Lu Sheng sighed. He silently pressed the modify button.
The entire modifier interface flashed slightly, and quickly became clear again.
"Upgrade Ten Illusionary Demon Fist to 12 stages," Lu Sheng ordered directly.
Vast amounts of martial path experience quickly assembled in his mind. After high-speed and high-intensity calculations, it swiftly formed a brand-new set of powerful fist techniques that could further elevate his tier.
Vast amounts of Mental Energy surged out of Lu Sheng's chest and flowed to various parts of his body. It began to focus on strengthening his main organs.
Wisps of ethereal feeling that was being strengthened surged into Lu Sheng's mind.
He closed his eyes and sat in meditation. His muscles squirmed and trembled like a mouse. Suddenly, he felt a slight itch on his neck and chest.
He hurriedly opened his eyes to take a look. Unbeknownst to him, faint red lines had appeared on his chest.
It was the same on his neck.
After about ten seconds, the consumption of Mental Energy slowed down.
The frame on Deep Blue's interface finally became clear again.
"Illusionary Heart Style Assassination Fist. Ten Illusionary Demon Fist. 12 stages. (Special traits. Phantom Massacre. Sensory confusion. Bewitching Ten Rings. Inertial Movement.) "
"Phantom Slaughter, huh …" Lu Sheng's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected to come up with such an actual combat ability.
He sensed his body's condition. It seemed like it could still be improved. This bit of burden was nothing to his body which was growing stronger.
'I'll upgrade to 13 stages again!' Lu Sheng decided to see what stage he could reach in one go.
The changes at 13 stages were not great. He mainly improved his physique. His defenses, agility, and strength were all improved.
Next, 14 stages, 15 stages, all the way to 16 stages. His body, which had already adapted to the changes, finally showed signs of being unable to withstand the burden.
Lu Sheng finally stopped.
From 11 stages to 16 stages, most of his Mental Energy was spent on strengthening his body.
Speed, strength, the toughness of his skin, muscles, and bones, as well as the ability of his organs to withstand pressure. All of them were steadily improved after several stages of improvement.
This improvement was even more extreme and terrifying than Lu Sheng's previous improvements.
It was so great that even Lu Sheng himself could not predict the exact extent of the changes.
It seemed like he only became more muscular. The muscles on his back bulged like a triangular kite. His entire body was shaped like an inverted triangle. Other than that, there were no other changes.
'My strength should be enough. The continuous strengthening of my body will only end after a few weeks. I can use this time to search for Mi Guangyin and the others. '
Lu Sheng did not forget his main objective for coming here.
Finding his lost family members was the most important thing.
He spent half a day getting used to the sudden increase in his speed and strength. If his strength and speed could still be associated with humans before this, then his current speed and strength had reached a ridiculous level.
Using the device in the door, Lu Sheng calculated his current stats.
His explosive speed could reach four times the fastest speed of an extreme athlete. A normal person's limit for extreme sprinting was about 10 meters per second. That was the average speed of a normal person.
Meanwhile, Lu Sheng's average speed could reach 40 to 50 meters per second. His explosive speed in a small area was so fast that others could only see afterimages.
The force of his punches could reach three tons. The force of a normal person's punches could reach 100 to 200 kilograms at most if they did not purposely accelerate or lengthen the distance between their punches. In other words, it was between one-tenth and one-fifth of a ton.
However, after Lu Sheng modified his fist technique, the maximum strength he could reach after training was dozens of times that of a normal person.
Even the current Lu Sheng did not expect the destructive power of his high speed and brute force to be so great.
Although it was very different from his real body, it was enough for now.
Walking out of the seclusion room, Jackson was already waiting at the door with a stack of documents.
Seeing Lu Sheng come out, he hurried over.
"Master, last night, some people in the settlement were attacked. One died, three were injured. "He handed over a stack of colored photos.
Lu Sheng took them and glanced at them. The images showed the wounds of the victims.
The bloody wounds looked like a large piece of flesh had been dug out by something.
"Have you sent someone to investigate?" he asked with a frown.
"Yes. According to the procedure you set, two Phantom Fists disciples formed a team and went to check the situation. They should have replied this morning, but there's no news yet, "Jackson said in a low voice.
"What about communication?"
"The earpiece seems to have fallen off somewhere. There's no sound."
Lu Sheng suddenly thought of the approaching danger that Isla had mentioned.
"Also, a representative of an organization that claims to be the Whisperer wants to meet you. They brought us a lot of food that we urgently need. "Jackson added," And they're doing it for free. "
"Huh?" Lu Sheng was surprised.
"There's nothing in this world that's free. Why do they want to meet me? Did they say why? "
"No. These people are a little strange. Maybe you should see for yourself."
"Where are they? Now. "
"I've already arranged for them to stay in the city."
"Bring me to them."
Without another word, Lu Sheng decided to see for himself.
He was in need of food, and the other party was resourceful enough to send him food.
"Okay."
Jackson brought Lu Sheng away from the seclusion area. He called the Whisperer's people.
Soon, the two met the mysterious people who claimed to be the Whisperers in a special meeting room.
…
…
"We're a clan that lives in seclusion deep in the mountains. We've been living in the mountains for many years. Until the recent Cataclysm, we were forced out of the mountains … "
A dark-skinned woman with a nose ring and a sincere expression spoke to Lu Sheng in a low voice.
"Fate is turning, and the Child of Chaos has just begun his journey. We're sending you food in the hope that you can understand our difficulties. Give up on Isla. "
"Give up on Isla?" Lu Sheng was speechless at the woman's illogical words.
"Isla will constantly be attacked by all kinds of strange things, and that was just the beginning. Cyril is very powerful, but that's all. If you don't give up, then … "The woman said with an indifferent expression.
"What's the Book of Inception?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked.
"The source of the Cataclysm. Once you obtain it, you can fuse it into your body and gain immense power," the woman answered without hesitation. "And Isla has a page of the Book of Inception in his body. That's why he's special. "
"Is there anyone else?"
"Yes. But Isla is the most special one. Only the power of the Book of Inception can harm Black Void level monsters, "the woman explained.
