Chapter 110: Chapter 110 The Trial Book, Anomaly [Subscribe Please!]
“Flesh Fliers and Angel’s Tear, these two have a wide range of applications and can serve as the organization’s communal Strange Implents, maximizing their potential value.”
“Among them, Flesh Fliers can be used for reconnaissance and transport.”
“Reconnaissance… later I’ll test if Flesh Fliers will attract the attention of Mysterious Evil; as for transport… currently with the help of Pei’s Corporation, Tinderfire has built a simple logistics system. However, if in the future there are items of the Strange Implent level involved, using Flesh Fliers for transport would be faster and safer.”
Fang You’s evaluation was that they were passable, but their uses, in his view, weren’t that significant.
They rely served as the icing on the cake.
But Angel’s Tear was different; it could enhance spirit power and rapidly restore energy, providing a vast amount of life energy when fully nourished… It was a practical Strange Implent in daily use, and when nourished to its full state, it beca a lethal weapon, a trump card.
...
Although nourishing it was also a troubleso affair.
But…
Fang You, wearing the ‘Angel’s Tear,’ practiced abilities like Palm Thunder, Mysterious Evil tracking, and detection in the training grounds.
With a rapid recovery of life energy, the number of tis abilities could be used increased, which ant that the training effectiveness improved within the sa amount of ti.
Greatly improved.
Black Blade would probably really like this equipnt.
“But there are definitely others who would like it more, need it more.”
“Xiaohuan, put Angel’s Tear up on the exchange list, mhm, hang it in the most eye-catching recomnded column, and add a ‘rental’ feature.”
“Right, add another note: ‘Do not use the accumulated energy unless necessary.'”
“All right~”
Watching as Angel’s Tear, which Pei Hongjing rented for fast energy recovery during his ‘explosion card’ production, was specially promoted and quickly taken.
Fang You revealed a relieved smile.
With Pei Hongjing gaining strength faster, Angel’s Tear being charged, and Tinderfire accumulating contribution points, it was a win-win-win situation.
Such Strange Implents that enabled mutual benefits and raised the overall level of the organization were his favorite, the Savior Fang You’s favoritest.
And the legendary gold item before him likely belonged to this category as well.
It’s just that, having fiddled with it for a long ti, he still hadn’t figured it out very clearly.
It was an ancient-looking hardcover book, its pages as big as a desk when opened up, currently floating more than a ter off the ground. The book’s cover had simple stripes and a few mysterious symbols that made one unable to stop staring.
They seed to be so kind of writing.
But he couldn’t understand it.
The explanation provided by the Savior Ga was also very vague.
‘Trial Book (Gold)’
‘Category: Treasure’
‘Description: Can carry out simulated trials in the book’s world, capable of having up to 36 trial spaces.’
The Trial Book had 36 pages.
Fang You pressed his hand on one of them, infusing life energy.
Suddenly, similar to the state during ‘skill practice,’ he found himself in an odd space in a daze. However, this entire space was blank.
The sky was a vast expanse of white; the ground was a vast expanse of white; there was nothing at all.
Trial, where’s the promised trial?
This wasn’t his first ti entering. Since fiddling with it the previous night until now, entering and exiting had happened no less than a hundred tis, yet he still hadn’t managed to delve in and understand clearly.
The only discovery was…
“Sword co!”
With his shout, a green-tiered treasure sword appeared in his hand.
He could also summon knives, spears, daggers, etc… but those were relatively difficult as he had rely made contact with these weapons rather than the green-tiered treasure sword, which he used day and night.
One thought was all it took to summon it.
But what next?
Fang You was at a loss, he tapped the floor, exploring back and forth in the trial space without finding or experiencing anything.
He simply began to train.
The trial space was not infinite in size, but it was also much larger than the training ground outside. Fang You wielded the sword freely, one after another, faint glimpses of sword light flared out, sharp and beautiful. When life energy was poured into it, a shiny silver sword beam could even be slashed out.
No fuss, just pure offense.
Fang You imrsed in his swordplay when his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, keenly sensing changes around him.
Not far away, about ten ters out, a silhouette erged from a transparent state and gradually solidified.
His face and clothing were unclear, but the most distinct feature was the sword in his hand. The sword was drawn, and with a slide step, he cut towards Fang You.
“Well struck!”
Fang You swung his sword to block, diverting the silhouette’s sword edge, then followed through with another slash.
It was completely instinctual. Only after he defeated this swordsman did he co back to his senses, “Hold on, where did this swordsman co from? Is it because I was practicing the sword just now?”
While pondering, another swordsman appeared.
Fang You dispatched him in two moves.
In a mont, a third swordsman ca forth; three moves to kill.
Shortly after, a fourth swordsman appeared; six moves to kill.
Soon after that, the fifth and sixth swordsn appeared, their sword techniques growing increasingly sophisticated and their speed steadily increasing.
In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by several swordsn, a series of fierce sword beams with killing intent sealed him from all sides.
A pain struck his chest, and in a daze, Fang You found himself back in the training ground.
anwhile,
On the first page of the open Trial Book, a line of text was displayed, “Do you wish to preserve this trial scene?”
Another line erged below it, “Do you wish to continue creating trial scenes?”
Fang You seed to understand and once again entered the trial space.
This ti, he unleashed all his strength. He discarded the sword, and Palm Thunder transford into a Thunderbolt python that, in an instant, engulfed several swordsn who were attacking him.
Again and again.
Minutes later, Fang You looked at the eight figures in front of him, each holding a longsword wrapped in Dazzling Thunderlight.
He fell silent.
And then, he surrendered.
He wasn’t disheartened, “So this is the Book of Trials, huh? Ever-stronger enemies can squeeze out all my potential, forcing to fight with all my might, and furthermore…”
“They can also evolve adversaries based on my own combat style, which can serve as a reference… For instance, the fusion of swordsmanship with Palm Thunder just now, that’s a path I can try.”
“What other trial scenarios can evolve?”
He nad this first space ‘Trial of the Sword’ and chose to save it. Then he entered the second blank space to continue his research.
Now that he had grasped the use, what ca next was…
“Co out, Mysterious Evil Knocking Child!”
The trial space remained empty, echoing only with his shout.
Fang You was baffled.
If the Awakened Weapon could manifest and even evolve mighty swordsn with his fighting style, it made no sense that Mysterious Evil couldn’t.
Wait… perhaps there was so key condition missing.
He said, “Evolve Mysterious Evil Knocking Child, four feet three inches tall, three feet six inches long, with a hunchback figure that contains 0.1 unit of mystique, having the following characteristics…”
He described in detail.
The information on Mysterious Evil ‘Knocking Child’ in the encyclopedia was now 100% complete, and Fang You, who often reviewed it, if not morized entirely, was very familiar with it.
As he described and imagined, after a while, a Mysterious Evil Knocking Child finally appeared, its form gradually solidifying.
And then Fang You cut it down with a single sword strike.
He comnted, “Yes, that’s the feel of cutting down a Knocking Child with a sword.”
Following this pattern, Fang You then manifested various Mysterious Evils one by one.
From weaklings like Knocking Children to monstrous creatures like flesh giants… He couldn’t manifest them all, only those whose encyclopedia entries were 100% complete, and which he could then vividly imagine with precise details.
It was a brain-racking effort.
Fang You had to take notes as well.
“Based on the information available, three factors seem to determine evolution: the first is oneself, as long as one is in the trial space, it’s possible to collect information and then evolve.”
“Second is information, data, and the third is the level of cognition… Manifesting the Awakened Weapon was very simple, it appeared with a thought, because I’m extrely familiar with this sword, its exact shape is imprinted in my mind.”
“Following this logic, the deeper the cognition, the more likely the manifestation. So…”
He entered the third trial space.
He closed his eyes and focused his Spirit.
Ti passed by, one second, two seconds, ten seconds, one hundred seconds…
Fang You opened his eyes, and a flash of lightning crossed his gaze.
“Boom—!”
Atop the mountain peak, fierce winds howled, Thunderbolt roared, illuminating his upright figure.
…
Investigation Bureau, Headquarters.
Inside the conference room,
“Just now, several branches of the Investigation Bureau have detected signs of major anomalies—precursors to the Gate of Hell’s ergence!”
“It’s not just one location, but four signs altogether, four locations in succession showing premonitions of the Gate of Hell, and they’re all near cities.”
“The furthest is only twenty to thirty kiloters away.”
Director Huang’s expression was serious.
Four Gates of Hell, if it’s the sa intensity as one month ago, the current Investigation Bureau and Special Combat Team could manage it.
However, the occurrence of premonitions at four locations at the sa ti was too strange.
Director Huang had a bad feeling.
Soone said, “We must arrange our deploynts as soon as possible to eliminate the disaster, no matter what. I propose that in addition to our own forces, we also call in the Mysterious Evil Hunters for defense.”
Another person said, “I think this is still too conservative. Given the current situation with continuous disasters, we cannot let Mysterious Evil Hunters operate on their own. If we control these people, we’ll have much more power at our disposal.”
This suggestion, received the support of many.
But there were also dissenting voices.
“What if it triggers a backlash among the Awakeners? This move is too risky, and as more and more Awakeners erge in the future, we can’t possibly control them all.”
“Aside from a few, the majority can be guided onto the right path with proper guidance. Moreover, civilians who awaken can’t just be controlled at will, let’s not forget there are powerful individuals like Angel’s Tear among them.”
“No matter how strong, can they be stronger than guns and cannons?!”
“If it cos to the point where we force a noble Awakener like Angel’s Tear to go abroad, to turn against us, you will be the enemy of the people!”
“Enough!”
Director Huang slamd the table, stopping their ongoing discussion.
“We have discussed this matter many tis. We can increase the stakes in recruitnt and try to incorporate Mysterious Evil Hunters and civilian Awakeners into our departnts, but we cannot coerce them.”
“Now, let’s discuss the defense strategy against the Gate of Hell.”
…
Angel’s Tear Base, training ground.
“Master, I’ve just heard an important piece of intelligence from the Investigation Bureau~”
