Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Ready for the Second Awakening
Staring at the ga interface for a long while, Fang You finally ca back to his senses.
He couldn’t help exclaiming how huge his haul was! Thrilling!
Although most of the items were of the common white grade, the quantity was substantial! Besides, items like the skill cultivation card were essential necessities he could never have too many of.
This ti, he was able to unleash Thunderbolt-like fury, where timing, location, and harmony were indispensable, but the most fundantal was this expert-level Palm Thunder.
Without reaching the expert level, Palm Thunder couldn’t be projected, so what use was the increased amplification of the Flafire conviction?
Not far away,
...
Black Pupil peeked its head out from the bedroom door and glanced at him, shaking its head.
This pet owner really wasn’t up to scratch.
…
Fang You first skipped over the basic items he was already familiar with and turned his attention to several brand-new treasures.
“Junior Apostle Recruitnt Voucher”!
“Instruction: Using this voucher, one may sign a contract with a ‘qualified’ person, recruit them as an Apostle of the organization, and enjoy the benefits of a Junior Apostle.”
Recruiting on his own was the key point.
One cannot simply ‘draw’ an Apostle out of thin air.
Because of this, an item related to Apostles was only ‘green’ grade.
However,
what exactly qualifies a target?
“The Savior of Destiny ga determines qualification based on talent and potential.”
“It’s not to say one must possess innate exceptional abilities like An Jianyou, that is unrealistic… Innate talent is obviously very rare, and one might not be found in tens of thousands.”
“Combat instinct, willpower, learning ability, etc., all these can be classified under talent and potential.”
So people are naturally suited for combat.
Take himself for example, who had never slaughtered a chicken in his life, but when faced with Mysterious Evil, he remained calm and struck it down on the spot.
Learning ability is another factor.
The gap between a study god and a study dud is like a chasm.
Then there’s Brother Black Blade, who doesn’t have any specific talents but boasts a robust physique, resolute willpower, and terrifying combat instincts.
He was ultimately assessed to have blue-grade potential.
“Find at least a green-grade potential candidate, hoodwink… sign a contract that grants special powers, recruit them as a Flafire worker, and give them the chance to grow stronger.”
“The problem lies in how to find such a candidate.”
“At this stage, those who can awaken are probably high-potential, but…”
Right now, the Awakeners he knew were only a few, and they were all from the investigation bureau. Currently, with Flafire’s small scale, what he needed was his very own faithful manpower.
He would have to search among ordinary people.
But potential couldn’t just be seen with the naked eye.
Fang You’s gaze fell on the award for his first special task.
“Skill: Detection (Blue)”
“Explanation: A Savior of Destiny exclusive skill that can detect the status, abilities, and general potential of a target. The higher the rank of the target, the less information can be detected.”
Fang You stroked his chin.
It seed to be a very useful auxiliary skill that could help him in searching for and expanding Flafire’s personnel.
He chose to use it.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: Do you choose to claim the skill ‘Detection (Blue)’?”
It was a blue-grade skill, not to be underestimated.
Fang You adopted a solemn expression, bracing himself for what could be a painful next mont.
Bring it on!
Amidst the familiar spinning of the world, he saw many figures and monster silhouettes flash before his eyes, which continued for a long ti but seed not to be tiring or painful.
Is that all?
Had he learned the detection skill just like that?
It felt too easy, which made Fang You feel a bit unreal.
He familiarized himself, and the thod to use the skill ‘Detection’ had already flooded his mind. As an eye-based skill, it was similar to using Mysterious Tracking and Ghost Control, which he was already proficient in.
After preparing for a few seconds, he skillfully employed the beginner-level ‘Detection’.
Aid at… the self in the mirror.
“Fang You”
“Physique: 5.6”
“Spirit: 3.5”
“Skills: Basic Swordsmanship, Mysterious Evil Tracking, Palm Thunder”
“Ability: %￥#@&”
“Potential: Unknown (above green)” (Click to view details)
Fang You stroked his chin, “Looks like a low-spec character panel, but there’s an added potential estimate, it seems this detection ability is prepared for selecting personnel, a choice by the destiny in the shadows.”
“With this, I can go out and search for potential, but besides that, temperant is also important… I can’t be careless in any case.”
With just a bit of thought, Fang You felt his head hurt.
He should first upgrade his detection skill to Proficient, as the Entry-level is too crude for use.
With thirty-eight white-tier cultivation cards, Fang You felt quite lavish.
With a grand gesture, he decided to upgrade.
In an instant, as the world spun around, this cultivation session was a bit tiring. When Fang You finally erged from the ‘little black room’ and returned ho, his eyes were sore and his legs a little weak.
Nothing else, just a bit of physical energy spent.
He opened the panel and stopped suddenly.
The proficiency was only at the Entry-level 33%, he had forgotten it was a blue-tier skill!
Fang You felt the pain.
But having used the cards already, he couldn’t let the skill go to waste. Trembling, he spent another two cards.
In an instant,
Experiencing the cultivation in the ‘little black room’ for the second ti took ages, yet only a mont passed in the outside world. Fang You returned ho with a dull look in his eyes.
He lay there lazily, sprawled out like a fat cat.jpg.
At this point, his life energy was nearly depleted, but from a ti managent perspective, since he wasn’t planning to go out, it was the right move to convert his stamina into strength and not waste ti.
It’s just a tiny bit tiring.
Taking advantage of the rest, Fang You took the opportunity to look at the third special item—the Skill Seed.
“Skill Seed (Blue)”
“Description: This is a blank skill seed that can be charged with skills to transform it into the seed of a specific skill (this transformation is irreversible). Once transford, and nurtured with Ghastly Crystals, the skill seed can grow into a skill tree and bear skill fruits.”
“Note 1: A blue skill seed can only imprint skills up to the green tier.”
“Note 2: Only Expert-level skills and above can be imprinted on the skill seed.”
“Note 3: The skill fruits can only grant a ‘special factor’ for learning a certain skill; you still need to practice the skill yourself to reach Entry-level.”
Simply put, using a Skill Book is ‘Entry-level 0%’, while using a skill fruit is ‘Pre-entry-level 0%’.
But he had found a way.
This is crucial, as both Swordsmanship and Palm Thunder are incredibly difficult to teach to others in reality; getting started is the major hurdle, but once past Entry-level, practice becos much easier.
With detection, Junior Apostle recruitnt certificates, and skill seeds, the new batch of workers had their path set.
The fifth destiny draw requires 81 destiny points, and he’s not far off.
Just need to save up.
Everything was looking up.
And…
Fang You pulled up his own panel, as well as Black Blade’s and An Jianyou’s. They had slain nurous Mysterious Evils during the previous mission through the Ghastly Realm gate, so logically speaking…
“Savior of Destiny”
“Mystery: 32.6”!
—
“Black Blade”
“Mystery: 24.4”!
—
“An Jianyou”
“Mystery: 10.6”
Apart from An Jianyou, both he and big brother Black Blade could go through a second Awakening!
