Ever since Lu Sheng realized his lack of control, he spent another week to completely stabilize himself.
This time, his foundation was truly stable. He could increase his strength again.
He still had the Clock of the Evil God with him. If he did not work harder, he might not be able to defeat that bastard.
When he returned to the dormitory, Lu Sheng closed the doors and windows again. He drew the curtains and took off his clothes.
Looking at the empty room, he actually felt slightly sick of it. He had been cultivating so hard, and there was no electricity or entertainment. He was getting irritated just by constantly strengthening himself.
'After this upgrade, I'll go back and see how Jack's family is doing.'
He sat down with his legs crossed. He sat firmly on the floor and began to adjust his condition.
"Deep Blue." He summoned the modifier's interface again.
The light blue interface appeared in his field of vision with a swish.
Lu Sheng pressed the modify button on the modifier with ease. He watched as the interface shook slightly and entered the modifiable mode.
"Upgrade Advanced Codex to Level 20."
He began to upgrade Misca University's standard Advanced Codex again. This set of codex had an extremely important effect on him.
Just by upgrading it to the Advanced Codex, his main body's strength increased by several times, and he directly entered the Material Manifestation tier.
This was unbelievable.
Lu Sheng could vaguely sense that the nature of this world seemed to be extremely beneficial to life forms like Heavenly Devils that were formed purely from spirits.
The environment here was filled with many things that were extremely beneficial to Heavenly Devils.
He did not know what these things were, but he knew that his main body absorbed these things to quickly advance to a new tier.
"Hiss …"
With a soft sound, Lu Sheng felt 1,000 units of Mental Energy disappear from his chest. These 1,000 units of Mental Energy turned into a strange power that surged into the sixth cognitive organ in his right arm, and disappeared completely.
The Advanced Codex of 36 levels was upgraded to Level 20. However, Lu Sheng felt that it was no different from before.
'It should be the process of accumulating qualitative changes again.' He was not in a hurry.
'Continue upgrading the Advanced Codex to Level 21.'
"Level 22."
"Level 23."
Lu Sheng felt more and more that the sixth cognitive organ in his right arm was undergoing some kind of internal qualitative change.
He leveled up ten levels in one go, reaching the twenty-ninth level of the Advanced Codex. Only then did Lu Sheng feel that his body couldn't take it anymore, so he temporarily stopped.
He glanced at his Mental Energy. Over the past few days, he had spent tens of thousands of units of Mental Energy.
Although he still had more than three million, the consumption would only increase as time went on.
'I have to think of a way to absorb Mental Energy …' Lu Sheng felt that his Mental Energy was clearly insufficient.
'Since Misca University claims to have the oldest library, then there must be some original copies of rare books in the library. These original copies might have quite a lot of Mental Energy to absorb.'
Lu Sheng thought back to the library at night. It was different from the library during the day. That place was dangerous and bizarre. Most importantly, most of the books in there were either unique copies or originals. Year after year, day after day, the Mental Energy accumulated in there might be a lot.
"I've always been in contact with printed editions, but I've never come across the only copies here. I'll give it a try tomorrow night. "
Lu Sheng was tired from upgrading. He stood up and took a cold shower. He changed into his pajamas and was about to rest.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"I …" Andy's muffled voice came from outside.
Lu Sheng was speechless. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 10: 30. It was already so late, and he should be sleeping. Why did he suddenly come here?
He walked over and quickly opened the door.
Andy's face was haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were messy. It was obvious that he had not bathed for a long time.
"Brother … I … It's so good to see you …" He seemed to be about to say something, but then changed his words at the last minute and said something unrelated.
Lu Sheng looked at the corridor to his left and right. There was no one on either side. Andy was the only one standing at the door.
"Come in first." Lu Sheng pulled him in and closed the door.
With a click, the door closed. The two sat on the chairs by the desk. Lu Sheng poured Andy a cup of tea. He watched him take small sips of the tea. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
The two sat for a long time.
Only then did Andy look a little more spirited.
"… Jack … can I ask you a question?"
Lu Sheng put down the cup.
"Go ahead. It looks like you've encountered some trouble. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Andy nodded and then smiled.
"I've encountered something, and I've figured out a lot." He used his hand to draw a circle on the side of the cup.
After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth.
"I want to ask, if one day, you find yourself gradually becoming the kind of person you hate the most, and the biggest source of pain in your life is actually yourself, what would you do?"
"What happened to you a few days ago? Why are you suddenly thinking about the meaning of life now? "Lu Sheng was surprised.
"Answer my question first." Andy's whole body was lying on the table. He seemed to have suddenly become dispirited and lifeless.
Lu Sheng thought for a second.
"I will treat this wrong life as the right one, and continue to live."
Andy was stunned. It seemed that he did not expect such an answer from Lu Sheng.
"Think about it. What makes you think that your current life is abnormal? Is it wrong? Perhaps you were the one who was abnormal in the past? Now you're just returning to your true self. "Lu Sheng explained.
"Sounds reasonable?" Andy rubbed his chin and began to think. "But if you find that everything about you is a script arranged by someone, what will you do?" A trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes as he asked in a low voice.
"I will kill the person who arranged the script." Lu Sheng answered simply. "As long as you're human, you'll die."
"But what if you're not as strong as the person, and there's no way you can surpass him?" Andy asked again.
"Then find a way to surpass him."
"The gap is really, really big …"
"Then find a way to shorten the gap."
"But what if there's no way to shorten it?"
"Then think of a way."
"Then what if you can't even think of a way?"
"Then continue to think."
"…"
Andy looked at Lu Sheng with a pained expression. He thought to himself that this was indeed the most awesome genius uncle student in the class. His way of thinking was something that normal people like him could not keep up with.
"Any more questions?" Lu Sheng raised his cup and took a sip.
"No … no more …" Andy slowly stood up. He felt that his mood had improved after the conversation just now.
"I think I'm feeling better. Thanks, bro."
He thought for a moment. He casually took out a leather wallet from his pocket and carefully took out a diamond-shaped, blood-red metal ornament.
"This is for you." He threw it to Lu Sheng. "I hope you won't need it until the time comes."
Lu Sheng caught it and casually looked at it. He did not find any use for it.
"I'll go back first."
"Okay."
Andy opened the door and lazily walked out. The door closed behind him with a click.
He lowered his head to look at his chest. Through his clothes, he could see a strange substance growing in his flesh.
He knew what it was. It was some kind of parasite that was living in his body. Just a few days ago, he suddenly exploded in a crisis, and only then did he realize his true identity.
He was actually a possessed body of some powerful ancient existence in the human world. After a certain time, it would completely explode and turn into some kind of strange body.
He and his father had encountered many such bodies in the past. But what he did not expect was that his position in the body was extremely high. His position was completely different from other ordinary bodies.
This feeling, it was like … he was the son of that monster called the Crow Demon. Many of his privileges were completely different.
"Maybe I should leave the school and find a deserted place to live alone in the wilderness." Andy looked at his hands. There seemed to be some thin thread-like thing moving under his skin, like a worm.
Inside the room.
Lu Sheng stood up and stretched his upper muscles.
"Saved another lost lamb … Looks like I know why I hit it off so well with this guy."
The parasite's aura was so close. Even if he could not feel it, the Diabolic power on his body was pulsating. Such a clear signal. Only a newbie like Andy would not know anything.
"Looks like the waters of this world are deeper than I thought … I need to increase my strength quickly!"
Lu Sheng exhaled.
"I was planning to take it slow and build a good foundation. Looks like time doesn't wait for me … This guy has even less time than me! If I want to eat both of them, I can't do anything without saving up. "
He walked to the center of the room. Looking at where he was sitting, he hesitated. Then he gritted his teeth.
"Forget it, I'll go up a few more levels! It's okay if my body overloads a little. The key is to increase my speed. "
He took off his clothes again and sat down.
"Deep Blue!!"
…
…
The next morning, Lu Sheng was woken up by a headache.
He had improved too much. His main body's spirit had expanded by more than half. He had broken through one level in a single night. He had reached the second minor stage of Material Realization.
This was all thanks to the High Codex.
To increase his strength, Lu Sheng was really giving it his all. He was not even as diligent as he was now when he studied for his exams. He was basically improving himself through self-harm.
"Soon, I'll be able to evolve to the fourth form next time." As the system of this world continued to improve, Lu Sheng increasingly felt that the universe here was filled with countless mysterious energies.
These energies continued to grow with his sixth cognitive organ, increasing the speed and upper limit of the energies that surged into his body.
This was also the key to the rapid improvement of his main body's spirit.
Standing up, Lu Sheng shook his head. He picked up the bread he bought yesterday and stuffed it into his mouth. He also stuffed the few tentacles that came out of his nostrils back in.
'I'll need more and more Mental Energy in the future. I'll need more than just Mental Energy for the subsequent Codex. I must prepare for a rainy day. '
