Chapter 18 Spiritual Energy
“Spiritual energy.”
Although Ji Xinghuo has not figured out how to obtain the spiritual source, he can guess from its name that it must be an energy related to will or thinking.
He opened the Wanxiang Xingpu interface, looked carefully and discovered it.
The information bar on the left side of the interface has no other changes except the numerical values; but on the right side, the virtual image of a human body that is exactly the same as mine, and inside the two arms, the neural networks representing the "Thousand Dexterous Hands" are flashing slightly, very... conspicuous.
His eyes fell on it, and it immediately showed: Thousand Dexterous Hands, Level 1, can be upgraded.
There are more “upgradeable” options than before.
"upgrade?"
Ji Xinghuo was so shocked that he almost couldn't control himself. "This can be upgraded. Isn't it just a direct upgrade of the ability?"
He struggled to calm down and focus on "upgrading".
Suddenly, the thin lines in the arms of the dexterous hands in the virtual image of the human body became brighter and shimmering, and energy flowed rapidly along the neural network.
At the same time, Ji Xinghuo felt changes in his body.
From the brachial plexus in the neck, extending all the way to the arms, palms and fingertips, there was a slight feeling of heat, as if something was crawling inside, itchy, numb, and a little bit tingling, but it was all there. Within your own tolerance.
The values on the left side of the interface are also jumping.
Originally it was [Power: Thousand Dexterous Hands (Level 10/47)]. The first number in the brackets represents the progress of the current level of the power, which is growing rapidly!
I trained hard for three weeks before improving my progress from 1 to 10.
Now, it’s rising every second!
Ji Xinghuo looked motionless and calm under the camera in the interrogation room, but there was a turmoil in his heart!
At the same time, the value in the [Spiritual Source Energy: 137] column dropped rapidly.
Ji Xinghuo observed carefully. During the period, he paused once to do a test and confirmed that every time the progress of the superpower increased by one point, the mental source energy was consumed by one point. The increase and decrease of the two were equal to 1:1.
Half a minute later.
The progress of Thousand Hands has reached 47/47, and the upgrade has stopped automatically.
Ji Xinghuo experienced his own changes in detail. His hands hidden under the table trembled at a very high frequency, but the amplitude was extremely small, and returned to normal after a few seconds.
He could feel that his hands had become more flexible and he could easily do movements that he could not do before.
The response speed and stability have also been improved!
In the interface, the information about Thousand-Dexterous Hands has also been updated, the brackets have changed to (Level 1/227), and the superpowers displayed in the virtual image of the human body are still upgradable.
“Level 2 Thousand Dexterous Hands!”
Ji Xinghuo breathed out gently.
He has long been aware of the difficulty of upgrading outstanding abilities.
Most rangers stay at level one their entire lives, and only a few rangers above the intermediate level can advance to level two after years of training.
It only took me three weeks.
He took a look at the spiritual energy, and there was exactly 100 points left.
"The progress of the second-level Thousand-Dexterous Hands is actually 227, which has increased by nearly five times." Ji Xinghuo calculated, and the remaining mental energy was invested, but it was not enough to upgrade the Thousand-Dexterous Hands.
Before determining how to obtain the spiritual source, it is more reasonable to keep it as a backup for the time being.
“Spiritual energy…”
Ji Xinghuo murmured to himself, what kind of energy is this? It can directly upgrade abilities! It's a bit like the experience points in the game, but after trying it a few times, he confirmed that spiritual energy cannot increase star power and allow his life to evolve.
He didn't understand it, but he was shocked.
“If you can get more spiritual energy…”
While Ji Xinghuo was studying the use of spiritual energy, Min Chongwu walked into an office not far from the inquiry room, and Yan Xiao followed behind.
“Zhou Bureau!”
“Zhou Bureau.”
The two of them spoke out one after another, but received no response.
A middle-aged man is sitting behind the desk. He looks like he is in his forties. He has an ordinary appearance, a medium build, and no signs of exercise. If he were walking on the street, he would not attract many people's attention.
Min Chongwu and Yan Xiao calmed down their posture before entering the door, and even stepped lightly.
They looked at the man behind the table with slightly shocked expressions.
As one of the three deputy directors of the Sword Bureau, and ranking first, with a power position second only to the director, Zhou Yishang was looking intently at the screen in front of him, frowning, as if he had not heard what the two of them said.
“Zhou Ju, what are you looking at so seriously?” Min Chongwu asked curiously.
Zhou Yishang finally raised his head and said, "You should also take a look."
He tapped the desktop and projected the screen image into the air to enlarge it. Min Chongwu recognized at a glance that the scene on the screen was under the building where Ji Zongbang was killed.
This is a surveillance video.
And it’s a shot from multiple angles, so it’s very clear even if the scene is at night.
Yan Xiao didn’t understand it at first, but he saw one of the pictures was a shadow under a bridge pier. After post-processing, a blurry figure appeared, and he immediately understood that this was where Ji Zongbang was hiding.
What happened next was completely beyond his expectation.
In the video, Ji Xinghuo went home like other pedestrians, gliding quickly in power shoes and being alert all the way. There was nothing unusual. When he walked to the main entrance of the building, he turned and glanced at the side of the building, where Ji Zongbang's position was. Min Chongwu and Yan Xiao felt a little strange when they saw this scene.
Yan Xiao couldn’t even understand it.
He has personally fought against Ji Zongbang. Ji Zongbang is a super shadow blade. His "Shadow Escape" is very good, reaching at least level three. He is very good at hiding his whereabouts. Especially in a dark environment, it is difficult for even him to locate Ji Zongbang's traces. .
It was precisely by relying on this shadow escape that Ji Zongbang was able to escape despite being seriously injured.
It turned out that he was seen through by a junior ranger?
Then suddenly the fighting broke out.
Ji Xinghuo walked into the door as usual. Suddenly, as if he had a premonition of danger, he took out his compound hunting bow and loaded the arrow as quickly as possible, and took the initiative to attack.
Almost at the same time, Ji Zongbang also realized that his whereabouts were exposed and flashed out of the shadows.
The two of them seemed to have rehearsed it many times beforehand.
Ji Xinghuo opened his bow and shot three arrows, each one more bizarre than the last.
The first arrow exploded the billboard, the second arrow collided with the wall of the building and hit Ji Zongbang's knee. The angle of the third arrow was lowered. It originally seemed to be shooting Ji Zongbang's chest, but Ji Zongbang's body lost balance and fell. Let the arrow hit the eye exactly.
…
Min Chongwu was stunned. His whole body seemed to have been shocked by electricity. If there were any hairs on his body, they were all standing up now.
Yan Xiao’s pupils shrank violently into a round dot.
"How can this be?"
His first reaction was that it was fake. It was a fake video synthesized by artificial intelligence. But after watching it for so long, Zhou Ju could not have thought of this.
The battle process is very short, less than five seconds.
The video was played in a loop on the screen. The three of them watched it more than a dozen times in a row, and the more they watched, the less they understood.
Zhou Yishang paused the video, with a thoughtful look on his face, and suddenly asked: "Which one of his three arrows do you think is the best?"
Min Chongwu subconsciously wanted to say the second arrow.
“The first arrow.” Yan Xiao answered immediately without any hesitation.
“Oh?” Zhou Yishang was a little surprised.
"The second arrow allows the arrow to deflect with the help of collision. This skill is very powerful, but many super rangers and stalkers can also do it." Yan Xiao made a hissing sound in his mouth, speaking slurred, "The third arrow is It’s a prediction, and the difficulty is a little lower than the second arrow.”
“The really powerful thing is the first arrow.”
Yan Xiao pointed to the exploding billboard on the screen and said: "The design of this billboard is very complete and almost eliminates all safety hazards. In most cases, even if it is damaged, it will not explode, let alone leakage. Phenomenon."
“And he shot up the billboard with one arrow. I don’t understand whether it was luck or whether he knew there was something wrong with the billboard.”
“The explosion of the billboard is actually not lethal and does not threaten Ji Zongbang.”
“The reason why he did this was to force Ji Zongbang to avoid the electrified water and get closer to the wall of the building, so as to create favorable conditions for the second arrow to turn.”
“These three arrows, one after another, form a chain trap, interlocking with each other.”
“Any arrow that goes wrong will not be able to kill Ji Zongbang...”
Speaking of this, Yan Xiao's eyes were still full of disbelief. Even after watching the surveillance video more than a dozen times, he didn't think this was something a junior ranger could do.
But the facts are before our eyes.
Min Chongwu couldn't help but look at Yan Xiao. Sometimes he had to admit that this poisonous snake's brain was more flexible than his own and could see more information.
“But he succeeded!”
Zhou Yishang let out an exclamation, then shook his head and said, "But I don't understand."
He operated the screen, which displayed Ji Xinghuo's citizen file.
Yan Xiao had browsed it quickly before, but Min Chongwu saw it for the first time and read it carefully.
"This person is a public child, his identity is clean, and there are no problems with his whereabouts from childhood to adulthood. His recorded remarks, Internet browsing records and search contents, as well as the results of big data analysis, indicate the probability that he is a spy or a hostile element. Only one in a thousand.”
Zhou Yishang said softly: "His family, friends, classmates, and people he has come into contact with in the past five years, several people have been included in the first-level monitoring list, but the problem is not big and has nothing to do with him."
“His political coordinates and ideological spectrum predicted by artificial intelligence are 93% materialistic, 87% supportive of the Asian Communist Party, and 68% inclined to the Unification Party.”
“Ji Xinghuo is a standard good citizen!”
Zhou Yi Shang finished reading the information.
Ji Xinghuo’s resume is impeccable. People like him are not uncommon in the Asia-Pacific community, and there are many of them.
This is true for more than 90% of the citizen files reviewed by the Bureau.
“In other words, Ji Zongbang really just happened to run into Ji Xinghuo and was shot by him?” Yan Xiao asked.
Zhou Yishang nodded, "Yes."
“Then how do we explain that he, a junior ranger, actually killed a super alien?” Yan Xiao was still unwilling to accept it.
"Because he is a genius!" Min Chongwu said loudly: "A top peerless genius in the world, with fighting talents that none of us can match!"
