Chapter 160 -157: Leveling Up is That Simple (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Xu Tian walked forward.

The investigators’ gazes followed his moving figure.

This was a youth who didn’t appear very old. Was he a single or double Awakener?

Most of the investigators did not have a deep understanding of Mysterious Evil, but from appearances, this youth, aside from seeming quite steady, did not look much like a grandmaster.

Fan Anyuan seemed perhaps a bit stronger, like an iron-blooded warrior, but not someone with the momentum of an unmatched general either.

What did a real top-notch powerhouse look like?

Many of the special class investigators thought of Director Huang and Director Tang, especially Director Huang. Nearly all of the special class here had met him up close, feeling an overwhelming force as if facing a giant beast, making standing before him particularly stressful.

And so it was with Director Tang.

They had an unrivaled, indomitable presence that said, ‘who but me?’

This was confidence, an aura of confidence built up over many long years, a unique domineering spirit.

Yang Chang and Master Ma had that air of a master about them too.

But this youth did not.

Upon closer inspection, one could see his youthful features, that he wasn’t very old, and probably hadn’t been awakened for long.

They were unaware, but Yang Chang was very clear about it.

He knew that neither Fan Anyuan nor Xu Tian were core members of Mysterious Evil; they had also emerged from this training base, and their time of Awakening was maybe even… no, definitely shorter than his own.

Much shorter.

So, his strength…

Yang Chang did not think it would be weaker. People from Mysterious Evil defied normal expectations. Even if they hadn’t been awakened for long, the Xu Tian and Fan Anyuan before him might well already be double Awakeners.

Then,

what value could he punch out?

A bit lower than mine, or perhaps… could it be even higher?

But my value is closely related to my formidable Ability.

He thought.

Flames ignited on the arm of Xu Tian, who had stepped onto the testing platform, forming a giant hand that blazed fiercely.

This was an Ability—Flame Fist!

One could only say it was quite conventional, not weak but lacking in developmental potential compared to a few rare Abilities that could be manipulated in various ways.

Among the special class, there was someone with this Ability.

And that person was also present.

Having just hammered out a value of 2.4, it couldn’t be called low, but it definitely had nothing to do with a high score.

On Xu Tian’s right hand, the fiercely burning fiery giant hand was not leaping with continuous flames; in the blink of an eye, it contracted and compressed until the entire giant hand seemed to turn into flowing magma.

The fingers of the magma giant hand bent towards the palm, clenching into a fist.

Flame Fist·Maintenance·Solidification·Condensed State!

And…

Basic Fist Technique·Expert Level!

Cannon Punch·Expert Level!

Upon the magma-like giant fist emerged a red fist shadow, which, before the investigators could see it clearly, smashed out fiercely, striking the crystal block not far away.

A wave of heat erupted.

A red storm rose but was quickly absorbed by the devices surrounding the testing platform.

Even so, the wind tousled many people’s hair, and as they gazed at the front end of the crystal block with its intense ripples, their eyes widened. They looked up and saw a striking, dazzling number, one they had to rub their eyes and look at again.

—36.6!

More than double the value of Swordmaster Yang Chang!

Could this be possible? But recalling the might that had burst forth in that moment, the investigators felt the number was quite reasonable.

Still,

“This is the ‘Flame Fist’ Ability? Why can it unleash such strong power? This isn’t logical!”

The one speaking was an Awakener who possessed this Ability.

Codenamed ‘Flame Fist.’

Originally, he felt quite good about himself, his Flame Fist formidable and powerful. But witnessing Xu Tian’s Flame Fist, he simultaneously thought, ‘Holy shit,’ and felt he could hardly claim he had the Flame Fist Ability anymore.

It was a disgrace to the Awakened Ability!

Maybe he should change his codename when he returned.

Wait, could it be that the Flame Fist Ability has unparalleled potential and that he too could rise up?

Flame Fist, a special-class investigator, was both questioning his life and feeling a bit exhilarated.

At this moment,

Xu Tian frowned slightly as he looked at the numbers that had appeared on the detection platform, somewhat disappointed.

“Too low?”

“What was your value in the last test?” Fan Anyuan asked.

“35.1, it was measured two days ago, I didn’t expect to have increased only this much.”

Xu Tian was indeed not satisfied.

A question mark slowly materialized on the foreheads of the surrounding investigators.

Such a significant improvement in just two days, and you’re still not satisfied?

Give that satisfaction to us, will you?

You can’t be so mundane in life!

However, Fan Anyuan also nodded, “The improvement is indeed slow. Matters of the base are important, but you must not neglect your own training.”

Investigators: “???”

…

Lu Renyi was an ordinary special-class investigator.

His experience was neither particularly deep nor shallow; his Ability was neither very outstanding nor weak, scoring a middle-range value of 2.1 in yesterday’s Ability test.

He had always been an average member among the special class, dreaming of a life of retired ease.

If one could really work as an investigator until retirement age, that is.

It is most likely impossible.

Carrying a weighted load, Lu Renyi began his training for the day.

These training methods included both familiar and unfamiliar routines, but he paid no mind to distinctions, nor had the energy to do so. He could only marvel at how the organization had tested their physical, spiritual, and Awakened Abilities beforehand… It was as if they were squeezing every last ounce of energy and stamina out of them.

It wasn’t until eleven at night, after a day of intense training, that Lu Renyi returned to the dormitory and finally had some free time to think about other matters.

He still had a mission.

The investigators still had to summarize the day’s training schedule.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

As Lu Renyi began to reflect, and as his strength gradually returned, he suddenly realized, “Has my strength become stronger?”

“Mine seems to be as well?”

“It seems like it’s increased, but that can’t be supernatural, can it?”

Several investigators felt their strength had grown, but suspected it might be an illusion from the day’s grueling training, doubting that any real improvement could happen in just one day.

If it were any normal time, there would be nothing to do but wash up and sleep.

Even at their Investigation Agency’s headquarters, where they had equipment like punch strength testers, they had no energy left to exert their full strength.

But today was different, they were at the organization’s base, where they had ways to precisely measure physical and spiritual attributes.

And they were incredibly simple.

With this realization, they became restless.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

“Together, together.”

Having consumed a restorative elixir, Lu Renyi’s thighs felt as if they were filled with lead, and his body longed for that neatly made bed.

Yet, he still dragged his heavy body and hastened toward the testing ground.

Upon arrival, he found the place brightly lit and noisy. The throng was far more crowded than he had anticipated.

“I… my physique has improved by 0.2 units!”

“I’ve improved by 0.3, no wonder my body feels full of strength, as if I could punch a cow to death.”

The investigators were immensely shocked.

Besides carrying out missions, their most frequent activity was training, day and night.

Only with a sufficiently strong body can one have a better chance against Mysterious Evil, and should the day come for an Awakening, a robust physique is the ultimate safeguard.

The stronger the body, the easier it is to survive the dangers of Awakening.

This was one of the few conclusions related to Awakening that could be confirmed.

The investigators trained with weights every day.

However, the human body has its limits; months of training might not yield much increase in strength, possibly less than what they had achieved in one day.

Is this reasonable?

This might be unreasonable, but they were more than eager for it!

The investigators’ gazes grew increasingly fervent.

Lu Renyi, listening to their conversation the whole time, also felt his heart warming up; he stepped onto the testing platform.

“Beep~”

The pleasant sound echoed, and so did his mood.

Watching the numbers that emerged, he couldn’t help but smile, “In one day’s time, my physique has improved by 0.5 units, hiss—”

Even a laid-back investigator like Lu Renyi was on the verge of frenzy.

Not to mention the ordinary and apprentice investigators, who now finally understood why this was viewed as a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

No, this opportunity was once in ten thousand years!

It must be firmly seized.

…

“The relationship with the organization must be firmly maintained,” one of them said.

“I’ve previously thought their training methods were miraculous and offered great improvement, but I never imagined it to be this exaggerated.”

Yang Chang was taken aback as the information from various teams was consolidated to him.

Even though the organization’s personnel had clearly stated that this was only the first day and that they had a lot of potential yet to be tapped, resulting in such rapid progress which could not be expected in the future.

At most, progress would be moderately rapid.

The efficiency was such that calling it tens of times more effective than their Investigation Agency’s training was not an overstatement.

Yet, Yang Chang still did not understand.

“The organization indeed has many novel training equipment, and the accompanying nutritional meals are also very special, but can these factors alone account for the efficiency being dozens of times greater?”

He was not sure.

He himself had also made great improvements unknowingly today.

Moreover, the day’s activities seemed to be just ‘basic training’. From the introduction on the ‘trainee mobile’, Yang Chang learned that the training base had several other valuable places.

One of these locales was tremendously beneficial for the improvement of mental strength.

He followed the navigation to find the location, situated at the periphery of the base, or rather, deep within the mountains.

A dense forest suddenly cleared before his eyes, revealing a lake. The gentle flow of water reached his ears, and Yang Chang quickened his pace, soon to see—

Above the lake was a gigantic blooming lotus, each petal a vast platform, upon which cushions were placed at intervals of over ten meters.

At that moment,

bathed in the warm light on the lotus, Yang Chang could see figures sitting in meditation on some of the cushions, still as statues. Some individuals seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment so seamlessly that they were nearly imperceptible without close inspection.

In the inner circle of the lotus base, there were pavilions erected.

Having read the description, Yang Chang knew that the pavilions served as ‘private training spaces’, while the exterior cushions were ‘hall training spaces’. Surprisingly enough, while the pavilions appeared ordinary and three of them were already in use, when he looked over, it was as if layers of gauze obscured his view, revealing nothing.

The organization was a place of too many marvels.

He uttered no words of amazement but instead tread lightly.

This was the Lotus Pool, where maintaining quiet was the primary rule; any disturbance would result in a warning, loss of points, and more severe infractions could lead to expulsion.

Yang Chang, of course, would not make such a mistake—he was here to cultivate.

Arriving at the lakeshore, he crossed the lake over the stepping stones that floated on the water’s surface. As he stepped onto the Lotus Platform, the world around him seemed to fall into silence.

His heart quieted along with it, and the only sound was the gentle flow of the creek.

Carrying with it a mysterious rhythm.
