Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Third Awakening! Synchronized Advancement! (2/3)
 

“`

“The Investigation Bureau has started its operation.”

“It seems they are sparing no expense to exterminate the Mysterious Evil group in the western region of Yunling.”

“That's the right move.”

Having learned this from Xiao Huan, that Director Huang immediately called a meeting and contacted the elite of the Special Operations Team.

They decided to begin the assault without delay.

It was a bold move, especially considering the current situation, where every place needed strength; Director Huang's decision carried a lot of pressure.

“The Investigation Bureau is also preparing to summon the strongest among the Mysterious Evil Hunters, probably including Xing Jinglei and An Jianyou… Since that's the case, let them go as well, and Black Blade.”

“To clear and exterminate a large group of Mysterious Evil, Black Blade and An Jianyou are indeed the strongest.”

He would go too.

But before that, he had to awaken.

Fang You arrived at the training ground, adjusting his breathing and mental state in the empty space.

After a moment,

he brought up his panel.

‘Ding!'

‘Prompt: Would you like to spend '45 Mysterious Crystals' and '15 Destiny Points' to initiate Awakening guidance? The probability of success for this guidance is 55%. Do you wish to begin?'

There was only one chance; if he failed…

If he failed, it wouldn't be a big problem, but, who thinks about failing?

Come on!

Fang You closed and opened his eyes, and suddenly, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

The wind slapped coldly against his face, as if he had entered the body of some terrifying Mysterious Evil, writhing.

He remained unmoved.

White Bone Knights, Flesh Giants, Eight-eyed Behemoths… one after another, terrifying three-star Mysterious Evil appeared around him.

Cold, stench, sticky, wet.

He remained unmoved.

The Flesh Giant's long tongue reached out, sticking to his face and trying to burrow into his mouth.

He remained unmoved… Until he couldn't bear it any longer!

His pupils burst with a faint light, reflecting a shadow of a sword beneath the glow.

Sword of Heart!

Sword of Consciousness!

Master-level swordsmanship, trained day and night, turned into a sword of the soul!

In the abyss, Fang You seemed unable to move, yet he wielded a golden Sword of Consciousness, slashing wildly for three days and nights without blinking an eye.

When his eyes finally grew sore and he couldn't help but blink, whoosh—

It was like bursting through the water's surface, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

All the shackles on his body fell off, and the world became clearer before his eyes.

The wind, the textures, the dust in the light.

Each grain, clearly visible.

The power within him surged and roared, feeling incredibly strong.

It was as if with one punch, he could blast a hole in the ground.

Boom—

Fang You crouched and dropped a straight punch, creating ripples and a loud clanging like metal striking metal.

The ground seemed to slightly tremble.

He stood up, his hand still trembling slightly; perhaps this was what it meant to have equal strength.

“The training ground's floor isn't bad.”

…

‘Savior of Destiny (Triple Awakening)'

‘Physique: 14.2+8.7'

‘Spirit: 8.2+4.8'

‘Mystery: 0'

‘Life Energy: 17.95+5'

The real changes were much more than just a few numbers.

Fang You grew accustomed to his burgeoning power on the training ground, each punch and kick bringing a terrifying whistling of the wind. Even meters away, the shockwave alone from his punches could burst a sandbag.

He was a human bulldozer in the literal sense.

If not for the hard surface of the training ground, making a hole with a punch outside would be no problem at all.

And this was merely the basic punching and kicking.

His true explosive strength lay in the dual master-levels.

“Congratulations, Master, on your significant enhancement in cultivation.”

“Congratulations, congratulations, la la la~”

Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Huan had already changed into a cheerleading outfit, swinging pompoms back and forth.

Fang You had a black line on his forehead.

Be serious, am I, the Savior, such a superficial person?

Well, the dance is pretty good. Where did you learn it?

“`

“Cough, your power has improved as well, hasn't it?”

The Savior of Destiny game's description of the Phantom Spirit was rather vague; she differed from Black Pupil, lacking a real body to begin with, possessing only ‘Spirit'—no life energy, not even a mystique value.

The conventional path to Awakening and advancement was of no use to Xiao Huan.

Only when a life contract holder made a significant breakthrough could it also elevate her.

She nodded, “Just now, a warm current entered my body, and then… biu, I improved.”

But not by much.

Compared to her original spiritual power.

‘Phantom Spirit'

‘Spirit: 50→60′

…

In the western part of Dong Huang Country, in Baichuan Prefecture,

within an ancient and eerie abandoned mansion.

Yiluo Xi stretched out her hand, and three scorching hot fireballs revolved around her fair arm, illuminating her cheeks.

“I've become stronger again, so impressive, truly worthy of myself!”

“Boss is mighty!”

“Boss is the most incredible!”

Two youthful-looking girls' eyes shone with light, filled with adoration.

“Boss must be a Second Tier Awakener now, right? I've heard that awakening is super difficult and dangerous, but Boss broke through so easily.”

“Truly worthy of being the Boss!”

Yiluo Xi placed her hands on her hips.

But even with the astonished and admiring comments from her only two followers, she felt herself blushing.

How she had broken through, Yiluo Xi knew all too well.

How difficult a Second Awakening was, she knew that too.

She had heard of several cases where an attempt at Second Awakening resulted in instant demise.

Though,

Yiluo Xi felt that with her Celestial Grace, failure was impossible. She was destined to be a queen at the pinnacle of the world, a mere Second Tier barrier could not stop her.

However, Awakenings couldn't happen just because she wanted them to.

It required a catalyst, and even if she could succeed at a Second Awakening, there would be side effects lasting for a while, such as memory confusion, irritability, delusions of persecution, depression, fear of the dark, and so on.

These were known from the Investigative Bureau's public knowledge, which she had also gathered information about.

The process of Second Awakening was dangerous, with numerous side effects.

That was for a normal Second Awakening.

And her? She could awaken whenever she wished, the process was simple, and after Awakening, she felt refreshed and eager to throw out dozens of fireballs—what side effects?

This wasn't the Investigative Bureau hoodwinking her, but rather, the organization.

The organization's power.

Was this the might of an ancient organization?

Yiluo Xi admitted that to develop her group to such an extent was still far, very far off, that was her ultimate goal.

But, “Such an organization has invited me; has my devilishly captivating Celestial Grace already spread throughout Dong Huang, ho ho ho ho ho—!”

She looked toward the two followers in front of her.

Their eyes still full of adoration, they were her die-hard fans, albeit a bit inexperienced.

But that was okay.

“As the Boss, I will certainly make you Awaken!”

“I've already found a way.”

This wasn't just bravado.

She had backing now.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong became even more admiring.

Remembering something, Xiao Qing said, “Right, Boss, there was someone from the Investigative Bureau here just now, it seemed like there was some matter.”

“Oh?”

She raised an eyebrow, waving her hand grandly, “Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong, follow me to greet the guest.”

In the front courtyard of the old mansion,

Special Investigator Qin Liyan was becoming a bit impatient. Yiluo Xi's place was just the first stop; he had several more to visit.

It wasn't that the Investigative Bureau was understaffed, but rather that these notorious Mysterious Evil Hunters often had temperamental personalities, and wouldn't bother with just anyone, it had to be someone of significance.

This significance wasn't status, but power.

He, Qin Liyan, was such a person—a strong figure among Awakeners, also well-known in the circle of Mysterious Evil Hunters.

He'd dealt with many Hunters before.

Yiluo Xi included.

But now, as this girl in a russet-brown cloak stepped out, something seemed to hit him head-on like a wave of heat.

His instincts were on alert.

This girl was dangerous! Extremely dangerous!

How did Yiluo Xi become so powerful? Could it be…

“You've achieved a Second Awakening?!”

“Second Awakening? Heh…” Yiluo Xi tilted her head back slightly, like a proud swan, “What's so difficult about a Second Awakening.”
