Chapter 88: Chapter 88 An Jianyou's Second Awakening
 

After spending another two days in North River City, Fang You set off for home.

Black Blade and An Jianyou did the same.

During these two days, he didn't hunt any three-star Mysterious Evils, as the others marked on the map were all deep within treacherous forests, with complex environments and surrounded by other Mysterious Evils. Venturing there alone to confront them was too dangerous.

There was also the possibility of encountering invisible Mysterious Evils not shown on the map.

Entering the forest alone was out of the question.

Thus, after a three-day business trip in the field, Fang You returned to Baijiang.

On the second and third days, without hunting any three-star Mysterious Evils, and having only exorcised a few two-star ones, the gains significantly dwindled compared to the first day.

Of course, it was still a lot.

On the second day, he earned 41 points of fate, and on the third day, he earned 32 points of fate.

The investigation bureaus in Jiangbei, Lindong, and Qingshui were all somewhat dumbfounded, weren't the circumstances quite tense before? How could peace suddenly reign in the blink of an eye?

Director Zhou was also somewhat confused.

He simply hoped the Torch would contribute a little by exorcising those few difficult Mysterious Evils, but unexpectedly, ah, you Torch guys took care of everything?

Many times, their investigation bureau would only discover after the fact, that when people entered the sealed-off areas, they were already empty, with just a few signs of battle left behind.

And these were just the blockaded sites they knew about, what about the others they didn't discover?

Director Zhou hadn't forgotten that Torch was quite adept at finding Mysterious Evils.

But how could their exorcism efficiency also be so high?

Just how many Awakeners do you guys even have?

…

“Whew, finally back home~!”

An Jianyou was now a powerhouse capable of independently executing high-level tasks, she just didn't realize it herself. Occasionally, when out on errands, the mere use of the Passage to the Mystic Eyes allowed her to see some very, very, very terrifying figures.

Just one or two glances were enough to scare her to death.

She didn't dare to sleep too deeply at night, and she couldn't just let Xiao Hei No.1 and No.2 out to guard the door.

It was more stable being back at her own base.

She stretched herself lazily.

Fang You gave An Jianyou and Black Blade time off, as the spirit can't always be tense; it needs to relax sometimes to work well for the long term.

An Jianyou then took some time off for her bestie, and they went shopping together.

Black Blade shook his head, indicating he didn't need a break; he could still battle three hundred more Mysterious Evils.

Fang You didn't permit it.

So Black Blade went off to vigorously train the reserve members.

…

Fang You also took a break for himself.

He monopolized the computer Black Pupil was using, browsed some websites, and read some novels. Unfortunately, with the tense atmosphere and looming threats recently, many people weren't in the mood for work, and several of the novels he followed had even stopped updating.

Wait, it couldn't be that they encountered Mysterious Evils and perished, could it?

It wasn't an impossibility.

Even if just to keep his novels updating, he had to bring light back to the human world.

Though it was a break, Fang You didn't rest for too long.

Soon, he picked up a beginner's Wooden Sword and headed to the training ground to practice his swordsmanship, executing several sets, activating a cheat once, then practicing several more sets, and activating a cheat again, in a recurring cycle.

At the same time, he didn't forget to use the skill practice cards for Black Blade, An Jianyou, and Silver Bell.

An Jianyou, of course, also didn't rest for too long. Upon her return, she joined the reserve members training with Instructor Black Blade in swordsmanship.

She had been learning for a while now, and it was today that she officially grasped the basics.

Fang You immediately called her into the training ground for strength enhancement.

Boom—!

Once, twice, three times, four times.

Although there were short breaks in between, after four rounds of enhancements, An Jianyou still looked wrecked, sitting curled up hugging her knees, her eyes vacant, it took her a long, long time to come back to her senses.

Her eyes brimmed with tears.

Instructor, no more, please.

…

Continuing was unnecessary; enhancement should be moderate. A few more times, and he really feared An Jianyou would indeed break down.

But as the saying goes, no pain, no gain.

An Jianyou's stats had been lagging, but after this period of training and skill enhancement, they finally improved.

“An Jianyou (First Awakening)”

“Physique: 2.8→2.9→4.1”

“Spirit: 5.0→5.3”

“Life Energy: 4.82”

“Mystery: 25.6”

“Skills: Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery: 0%), Ghost Control (Mastery: 0.1%)”

Wait a second, Ghost Control broke through?

This wasn't something he had bestowed upon An Jianyou; although he had allotted some points to Ghost Control before, most of it was due to her own efforts.

With her casual movements, the proficiency of Ghost Control just soared.

Clearly, it was more efficient for her to practice on her own.

When it reached 99.9%, he tried to add points to break through, but the prompt said the grade wasn't high enough.

It needed to be green.

Blue-grade skills are more expensive than others; they require rich resources to grow.

Fang You slowed down. He had planned to wait for An Jianyou to rest a bit and recover before enhancing her Ghost Control, but now it seemed that might be unnecessary.

This could be talent, perhaps.

“An Jianyou's accumulation of Mystery can also undergo a second Awakening; plus, her two dimensions have significantly improved. The stronger she is, the easier it will be for her to withstand the challenges of Awakening.”

“Yes, the four rapid stat increases in a short time just now must have greatly honed her willpower, which is also beneficial to Awakening.”

That's right, Fang You added points so quickly precisely to temper An Jianyou's resolve.

It had absolutely nothing to do with being in a hurry.

He said, “Take a break, get used to the changes in your body. Come to the training field tonight, I'll give you your second Awakening.”

Deep into the night.

After a day of hard training, Fang You wiped the sweat from his body, glanced at his phone to check his panel, and nodded slightly.

He then pocketed his phone and moved to the training field next door.

Under the lights, An Jianyou stood gracefully, biting her lip, her face tense as if she were about to face execution.

Though it was pretty much the same.

“Instructor, I… I'm ready!”

With a mix of trepidation, nervousness, and embarrassment, she hardly dared to lift her head.

Awakening meant facing an extremely horrifying scene; unclear whether it was real or not, but many times she felt as if she were plummeting into an abyss, never to rise again.

Though death was not likely with an instructor present, a social death certainly was.

Even if she had already died a social death in front of the instructor twice, thinking of her uncontrollable movements and cries during the process, An Jianyou still felt so embarrassed that her face turned red and her toes curled.

In contrast, the fear for Awakening's ordeal seemed trivial.

She threw caution to the wind!

With her eyes closed and bracing herself, An Jianyou thought, if death was inevitable, then let it come, “ng”!

An Jianyou's rate of passing this Awakening was 2% higher than a few days ago on paper, showing that the enhancement of strength directly affected the success of Awakening.

And because it was her second attempt, the success rate was quite a bit higher. By all means, this time she should…

Shoot! Must not jinx it.

Just like last time, Fang You stepped back a bit, pretending not to be there.

And he pressed the ‘Lead·Awakening' switch.

“Awaken!”

The second bloom, a classic reenactment.

Before long, the shrill screams of An Jianyou, almost like a mole scratching at the ground, echoed inside the training field which was thankfully absolutely soundproof; otherwise, An Jianyou's social death would have broadcasted outside.

Fang You watched An Jianyou's struggling and trembling… observed her Awakening progress.

In the Mysterious Evil tracking view, the gray fog churned and slowly merged into An Jianyou's body.

It looked roughly like…

Half an hour later, his phone vibrated slightly.

“Ding!”

“Prompt: Apostle of Fate·An Jianyou has passed the Second Awakening, Physique +2.6, Spirit +6.0, Talent and Awakened Ability enhanced.”
