Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 105: Blue Grade, Silver Scale Armor
Putting aside those who failed to awaken or were unable to awaken, everyone was immersed in excitement and joy.
It’s not just because the awakening pass rate is high, but also because... no one died during the entire process!
No one died, and their traumatized spirits and confused minds can all be recovered as long as they are nursed back to health. That's all there is to it.
Just treat it as a serious injury.
As an investigator, who hasn't been hurt?
This would be a world without sadness.
Looking back on the awakening process, the investigators still find it incredible.
“I’ve always heard that awakening catastrophe is extremely dangerous and terrifying, like being bitten by countless evil spirits and wanting to feed them, but today…”
"You mean to say that today's awakening is easy? Isn't it true that the place where Xinhuo awakened is very magical?"
The investigators also awakened for the first time.
All previous understandings of awakening were based on hearsay. They only heard that it was extremely terrifying. This time...it wasn't very easy, but it was indeed quite different from what they had heard.
When Yang Chang heard this, he walked forward and asked in detail.
An investigator thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about those two potions. After I drank the first one, my mind became very peaceful , just like... like I entered sage mode."
"After I drank the second one, it felt like something in my body was ignited. I followed Xinhuo's instructions and kept my mind focused, waiting quietly. After a while, I felt like I was falling into an abyss..."
"This is the beginning of awakening." Yang Chang said at this time.
The investigator continued, "What happened next was somewhat similar to what many of the special investigators in the bureau described. I saw a group of evil spirits surrounding me, and my sanity was constantly being challenged. Just when I was struggling to hold on and thought I was about to collapse, the challenges to my sanity suddenly weakened."
The investigator couldn't explain it clearly either. After all, when he awakened, he tried his best to support himself and had no time to care about anything else.
At this time, other investigators also came over and added their thoughts one after another.
"My awakening was caused by constant attacks from the evil spirits. My entire body was covered in wounds. But just when I thought I was going to die, the attack force suddenly weakened."
"I'm different. I was constantly resisting the attack on my mind when a blessing came to my heart. It was as if I suddenly understood something. Then I made adjustments and faced the attack of the evil spirit in a more advantageous posture."
"Hearing what you said, it seems that I also realized something at the critical moment, and then I was out of danger."
"It's like I've realized a kind of awakening method that is hard to explain, but can definitely resist the impact of evil."
“It’s like a kind of inheritance!”
“No, it’s not just about inheritance. It’s as if when we awaken, there is an invisible figure in the dark, silently guarding us.”
One person said so.
After careful reflection, the others realized that this description was very apt, and that there was a mysterious power protecting them.
Is this the mystery of the land of awakening?
"It may not just be the Land of Awakening. Have you noticed that there are names carved on the towering stone tablet in the center?"
“I noticed that!”
And many of those names are unforgettable at first sight.
Li Ergou, Li Sanniu, Wang Erhei, Chen Goudan and so on.
These names...
It is engraved in such a place.
Yang Chang suddenly said, "Many soldiers died in this place."
The investigators were stunned.
Turning around and looking, through the huge stones surrounding the outside, you can vaguely see a small section of the top of the towering stone tablet exposed inside.
I couldn't help but think of those names, which kept flashing through my mind.
The investigators were in awe.
This is a heritage.
We will continue to move forward carrying the weight of this heritage.
The investigators said so.
The students of Xinhuo stretched out their hands, clenched their fists and placed them across their chests, and said silently in their hearts.
…
On the way back, the students had a lot of thoughts in their minds.
They need to always remember the weight of inheritance and not let it down.
Yang Chang also had infinite respect and was extremely excited at the same time, because this awakening gave him hope.
As a senior executive of the Investigation Bureau, what makes him different from other investigators is that he can access pieces of data from various branches across Donghuang Country.
Two of these are most worrying .
First, the number of evil spirits is increasing.
Second, the probability of awakening failure is too high and too cruel!
Ordinary investigators only know that this process is dangerous, but in Yang Chang's eyes, they are all names of those who died after failing to awaken, or turned into evil names!
shocking!
There were many people he knew among them, many of whom were excellent and capable. There were even some who, like him, had once been senior executives of the Investigation Bureau and were at the top of the training sequence.
But they died in the calamity of awakening.
They sacrificed their lives in the battle against evil and died in the desperate resistance against the evil wave. This is heroic. These investigators are fearless and unafraid.
But if you die in the calamity of awakening, it would be too depressing and too unwilling!
Even, there is some fear.
It’s not that I’m afraid of failing, but...what if top experts and pillars of Donghuang like Director Tang, Director Huang, and Captain Luosha fail to awaken one day?
He believed in Director Huang and the others, but he was more aware of the dangers of awakening.
No one dares to say that they can succeed with 100% certainty, but once they fail, they will face death.
Director Huang himself may not be afraid, but his subordinates like Yang Chang are a little scared.
The Investigation Bureau and Donghuang Country cannot do without them.
Now, Yang Chang sees the light of hope.
"I heard Director Tang has already made it through three awakenings, and Director Huang has shown signs of awakening. The day of awakening is approaching... No matter what, we have to persuade Director Huang to awaken here."
"There are other investigators, special-grade investigators... There are many special-grade investigators in the bureau who have shown signs of awakening many times, but they were not sure about it, so they purified some of the mysteries in them. And now..."
"Compared to student training, this awakening ceremony is more important!"
"For follow-up, we need to discuss it in detail with Xinhuo's senior management."
But that is Director Huang’s job, and his rank is not high enough.
The only thing that Yang Chang was more worried about was the cost of the Xinhuo Awakening Ceremony - not how much their Investigation Bureau would have to pay, but how many people the effect of Xinhuo, the awakening place, could support and how much it would cost to run it.
He was afraid that the salary would be too low, so he gave them a discount as exchange students from the Investigation Bureau.
But in reality, holding the ceremony requires a lot of effort.
Given Xinhuo's selflessness, this possibility is not impossible and it is not small.
Given the mysterious magic of the Land of Awakening, it doesn't seem like it can be easily operated.
There may be huge costs somewhere they can't see.
Yang Chang thought, "Anyway, I have to go back to the bureau, report the situation to Director Huang, and bring a few investigators with me so that the bureau can check the results."
"The exchange and study time of only four days is relatively short. The previous plan was to go back after ten days or half a month, but..."
Looking at the investigators' visible progress, he felt that four days of training was not a short time.
It will definitely surprise the bureau.
Those who are against studying abroad and think that the expense is not worth it will absolutely... no longer be able to say a word of no return.
…
Heritage village.
Fang You was checking the information of the inheritance land. After the awakening of sixty-five people, the gain of the "first level of awakening" increased a little, and it was not far from being completely perfected - that is, reaching the upper limit.
There is definitely an upper limit.
No matter how high the increase in the inheritance land is, it cannot guarantee absolute safety.
Only Guidance Awakening can, and the greater advantage is that the inheritance land and guidance awakening can be superimposed.
"The pass rate for awakening is good, but the chance of reaching awakening is a bit low."
"Among the eighty-eight people, eighteen have not been able to reach awakening... This is also the benefit of the inheritance land, which greatly enhances the effect of the mysterious boiling."
"Otherwise, it would be too much if half of the people could reach awakening."
"This boiling potion is really bad."
He just wanted to give a bad review.
Little did they know that half of them would be able to awaken, what a high chance that was! Want to awaken 100%? Unless you join the evil god camp.
"But at least, no one died this time, which shows that this path is indeed feasible. The prerequisites for awakening are similar and do not need to be raised or lowered."
"The next thing to study and formulate is the standards for the second and third awakenings."
"We also need to awaken through the guidance of secondary apostles, and improve the benefits of the second and third awakenings as soon as possible."
With Qingmu and the tree monsters here, there is almost no need to station a guard.
Fang You only left a few people to familiarize themselves with the affairs here and then returned to the secret realm.
As soon as he returned to the secret base, Xiao Huan brought him another good news.
"Master Wang Chui has produced a high-grade combat uniform."
"Battle suit?"
He thought for a long time before remembering that he had used the power of "Guidance to the Ghost World" to find several blue-level ghost objects, and ordered Wang Chui to make them into suitable ghost weapon armor.
You can't blame him for having a bad memory.
In reality, only a few days may have passed, but for him, it has been more than a month. So many things have happened in the meantime that he has long forgotten about them.
Fortunately, Xiao Huan helped him record and handle various matters.
He came to the forging workshop. Xiao Huan had already informed him in advance that Wang Chui was waiting here happily, pointing at his newly-made masterpiece with great pride.
"Old Wang, I will definitely live up to your expectations this time, please watch, Master."
"I named this strange item 'Silver Scale Battle Armor'. It is made with 'Silver Scale Heart Armor' as the main material, and also incorporates a variety of precious mysterious materials... Not only does it greatly reduce the side effects, it also has a good amplification ability."
What appeared before him was a piece of armor that seemed to be made up of thousands of tiny scales. It was not hard at all when touched, but rather soft and silky.
A red crystal is inlaid in the heart of the armor, emitting a faint red light.
[Silver Scale Armor (Blue)]
[Type: Tricky Weapon]
[Ability 1: Silver Scale Armor has a strong protective ability, which can fully protect the wearer from physical and spell impacts, as well as evil bites. At the same time, Silver Scale Armor has the ability to repair itself.]
[Ability 2: The Silver Scale Armor incorporates precious materials, giving it a special amplification ability. When the power furnace on the heart of the armor is activated, it will greatly increase the wearer's strength and speed... This amplification ability lasts for a short time.]
[Side Effect: Silver Scale Armor requires a small amount of blood to be fed regularly, but it does not require the wearer's blood.]
The blue grade actually has two abilities!
No wonder Master Wang Chui worked so hard for so many days but is still bald... No wonder Master Wang Chui is bald, he must have foresight and doesn't need to be bald anymore.
He took away six pieces of powerful-looking silver-scale armor, ready to test how strong they were.
