Volume 2 That World Chapter 55: Owl Ghost
Qi Ji turned around and watched Sojiro disappear into mist.
A blood-red crystal was left behind where he disappeared.
Qi Ji frowned and thought. He had discovered it as early as the last time he beat Qi Xiu, the guy who asked for extra money.
In the corresponding world view visited through the Secret Record of Rebirth function, the strength of the projection seems inexplicably much stronger than the projection used to locate the world view.
Logically speaking, his strength has become much stronger than when he killed Luo Lang and Battousai.
However, during these two battles with Qi Xiu and Sojiro, the two were obviously much stronger than Luo Lang and Battousai.
Of course, he is not strong enough to rival the lame swordsman.
But it still prevents him from killing the enemy instantly under normal circumstances.
Perhaps, the enemies in the Secret Records of Rebirth will make some simple balance based on his own strength?
So that he can't easily acquire skills by simply crushing others?
Qi Ji stepped forward and touched the crystal, and learned the effect of this skill from the text in the mist.
[Shrinking the Earth: Swiftness: Through a special technique, the acceleration process is omitted, and the vehicle accelerates to its maximum speed the moment it starts to advance, which is like shortening the distance on the ground.]
The red crystal turned into a streak of light and flew into Qi Ji's brow.
He was transformed into an orphan in a trance, and after his parents died, he was adopted by his father's family.
Obviously, with his background, he had no chance of happiness.
The experience of continuous abuse since childhood made him give up his emotions of sadness and anger, and he always had a smile on his face.
Later he met a strong man, a master worthy of his lifelong follow.
In order to protect this injured strong man, when his family who adopted and abused him planned to kill this hunted and hiding strong man, he resolutely took action and killed the entire family with his young body.
From then on, he followed this strong man and became the most loyal sword in his hand.
Qi Ji suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head vigorously, trying to throw out the strange life he had just experienced from his mind.
I can only say that Sakura Man’s values really shocked him for a whole year. What a mess of thoughts.
Get out of my mind and don’t pollute my worldview!
Throw away Sojiro's bad values and life experiences, and only keep the magical footwork skills.
Qi Ji was very satisfied with this breakthrough method. The "super speed" of Fei Tian Yu Jian Liu could increase his maximum speed to a certain extent. The "shrinking the earth" method was more like a skill, which could instantly increase his speed to the maximum when he was advancing.
To make a simple analogy, when a sprinter is running a 100-meter race, it takes a certain amount of time to accelerate to reach his fastest speed. It is difficult to increase the speed quickly before the acceleration is completed.
This footwork, called "Shrinking the Earth," allows one to skip the acceleration phase and reach top speed right from the start.
Obviously, compared to the "human-level" worldview, the skills that can be learned in the "ferocious-level" worldview are more surreal.
Then, before Qi Ji could react, countless mists filled the world.
…
Early in the morning, Qi Ji got up on time and opened the book.
In the outer realm, as long as he maintains the practice of the meridian-nourishing breathing technique for most of the day, the outer realm's extraordinary factor 'Qi' will constantly participate in transforming his physique and continuously strengthen his physical fitness.
His strength increased by more than one kilogram a day, and his strength has now increased by at least fifteen kilograms.
The feeling of growing stronger every day is so addictive.
Not only his strength, but also his spirit grew synchronously.
His spiritual growth not only requires him to spend less and less time resting every day, but also continuously enhances his ability to handle combat situations during combat.
Most importantly, after the spirit grows, he can extend the duration of his "demon-subduing" state.
Qi Ji, who was immersed in cultivation, did not go downstairs until he knew that Qin Zijin came to knock on the door.
After breakfast, the few of them set off for Jiandu Square.
"Is it the Liaoyuan Sect that's attacking the Armored Palace today?"
The game hadn't started yet, Qi Ji looked at Qin Zijin and asked.
Qin Zijin answered immediately: "Yes, we have studied the intelligence of the players from each faction before. The two champions of these two factions attending the competition this year are both at the Zuozhao realm, and the other three disciples are also at the seventh level."
Su Jingqiu added calmly: "Liaoyuan Sect and Armored Palace have always been at odds with each other. This time, I'm afraid they'll even fight each other's brains out."
Qin Zijin also had an expression of watching the fun.
Yu Chengen did not have any refereeing duties today. At the moment, he was chatting with "Wuchuan", the leader of Longchang, whom he met yesterday, more than ten meters away.
"Sword Master, it's only been a few years, and the talents that your Sword Pavilion has brought out are indeed quite impressive. Su Jingqiu, for example, has been a top talent for many years." Wu Chuan's tone was slightly flattering. "But that Qi Ji... suddenly appeared. I guess he must be the top talent in the inner domain, right?"
Yu Chengen nodded and smiled: "Indeed, this boy is extremely talented and will definitely be ranked extraordinary in the future. It is even possible that after entering the extraordinary level, he will soon grow to my level."
Wu Chuan looked a little surprised: "Sword Lord, please don't be ridiculous. Your promotion speed is enough to be called the most terrifying level in the past ten years in Donghua Continent. If there is another person stronger than you, will the other forces still have face?"
Yu Chengen smiled and said nothing, then changed the subject: "Why did you send Wang Zhige this time? Although he is very good, he is probably still slightly inferior to the one you focused on training."
Wu Chuan gave a bitter smile, his expression showing helplessness: "Are you talking about Jing Yuan?"
He talked about it and said, "This guy has achieved great success in his studies and has achieved enlightenment through seclusion!"
Yu Chengen raised his eyebrows and said, "Good fellow, Jingyuan is in seclusion, and you will have another extraordinary person in Longchang! This is great!"
Suddenly, a deep and hoarse voice interrupted.
"Wuchuan, if you could put half of your attention away from socializing and flattery on cultivation and killing foreign demons, you probably wouldn't be still in the early stage of the fourth level now."
Although the tone was not harsh, the content of what was said was quite sharp and made people feel uncomfortable.
After hearing this, Wuchuan turned back angrily and was about to refute, but when he saw who was coming clearly, a look of fear appeared on his face.
Yu Chengen also turned around at the same time. When he saw the person coming, his eyes moved and he coldly spat out three words: "Gu Chong'an!"
Standing behind the two men was an old man with a tall stature, eagle-like eyes and a face covered with a thick gray beard.
His sturdy body was dressed in a short coarse cloth shirt, with two huge fur shoulder pads draped over his broad shoulders. His exposed arms were covered with hideous scars, and on his back was a beast-slaying sword that looked similar to Qi Ji's, but with a larger, slightly curved blade and a long handle extending from his back, making him look very domineering.
The old man named Gu Chong'an moved his eyes and looked at Yu Cheng'en. His deep voice sounded again: "Yu Cheng'en, since we last met three years ago, your cultivation seems to have improved. Do you want to duel with me again?"
Yu Chengen said coldly: "How dare you enter our Jiandu City? Are you sure that no one here can do anything to you?"
Gu Chong'an grinned and suddenly waved his hand. Suddenly, a black spot in the sky quickly enlarged and fell down.
In less than ten seconds, a giant bird that matched Gu Chongan's huge body landed, folded its nearly four-meter-long wingspan, firmly hooked Gu Chongan's shoulders, and called into his ear.
After hearing this, Gu Chong'an smiled and replied to Yu Cheng'en: "My beloved Xiao just told me that in such a big city like Jiandu, there is not even a fifth-level extraordinary person. So naturally I can come when I want and leave when I want!"
Yu Chengen's face turned even colder, but he had to suppress his temper and asked, "Why is the world-famous 'Owl Ghost' coming to Jiandu?"
At this moment, as Gu Chong'an's big owl landed, the area of three people under the ring seemed to be intimidated, and the crowd automatically dispersed, leaving a large circle.
Gu Chong'an looked calm and at ease, and answered Yu Cheng'en's pressing questions with interest: "What am I here for?"
He grinned, "Of course I'm here to watch the fun. Those guys over there are the people from the Sword Pavilion this time, right?"
After saying that, he turned around and cast his gaze towards Qi Ji and others.
Qi Ji and a few others immediately noticed something strange when the tall old man appeared next to the Sword Saint and had been paying attention to him.
At this moment, when everyone was stared at by the old man, they instantly felt as if a biting snow wind was blowing towards them. Although it was a hot summer day, they broke out in cold sweat all over their bodies.
Countless illusions of himself being killed on the spot came one after another, and infinite fear rose in his mind.
This old man - so scary!
Yu Chengen's face suddenly changed: "Gu Chong'an! What do you want to do!"
Gu Chong'an turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although these little ghosts look good, they are not my target. I came here for something more interesting."
Wu Chuan couldn't help but say at this time: "Gu Chong'an, you are only a fourth-level extraordinary person. How dare you come here alone? Aren't you afraid that you will be surrounded and killed by all of us!"
Gu Chong'an glanced at Wu Chuan and sneered, "It would be fine if it was the Sword Master who said that, but who are you? Are you worthy of threatening me?"
Wuchuan's expression froze.
Yu Chengen took a step forward silently and reached for the hilt of the sword behind him.
The next second, Gu Chong'an suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already hung by the shoulders by the giant owl's claws, looking down at everyone present in the air.
With a burst of wild laughter, Gu Chong'an said loudly: "Yu Chengen, I came here today to inform you that I am here. From now on, you must protect these seedlings of yours. Don't let one or two of them suddenly disappear one day. It will be bad if you blame me!"
As soon as Gu Chong'an finished speaking, he saw the giant owl carrying him and flying higher and higher, and Gu Chong'an turned into a black dot in the sky in front of everyone, and then disappeared into the horizon.
Beside Qi Ji, Qin Zijin was trembling all over, and said to Qi Ji: "That is... a fourth-level super strong man who is as famous as Mr. Yu, or even more famous, the Owl Ghost - Gu Chong'an!"
"How dare a murderer like him show up in Jiandu!?"
