Chapter 29 Array Crystal
  After acquiring special abilities, Ji Xiu still had 2 points of willpower left, which was not enough to continue strengthening.

He plans to start accumulating his will power next, until it is enough to upload Li Tan's special abilities to his natal soul body.

Only in this way can he truly master this ability.

At this stage, this special ability can only be applied to Li Tan's body.

With the thought of leaving, the surrounding gray fog spread and faded like a tide, and the scene distorted and changed.

After his consciousness returned to his body, Ji Xiu opened his eyes.

Suddenly an inexplicable force surged into his body, and he could clearly feel that his body was changing. The muscles and bones in his body were rubbing together, and his energy and blood were surging like a tide, with the beating of his heart rushing through his body.

After the consciousness returned to Li Tan's body, it seemed to bring an injection of power.

This power is obviously the special ability "Physique Amplification" obtained by strengthening in the fog realm space.

The heightened feeling lasted for several minutes before fading away. The physical strength was significantly improved, and the world observed with the naked eye became particularly clear.

Looking up, An An was standing in front of him holding a hammer, looking down at the sacrifice formation carefully.

Seeing that he was awake, An An looked at him with a puzzled expression:
  "Have you obtained the extraordinary power given by the original god behind you?"

Hearing these words, Ji Xiu was a little surprised:

"how do you know?"

"Just now I clearly felt a strong energy wave pouring into your body. This is exactly the same way that members of the Saints obtain extraordinary power."

An An's explanation made Ji Xiu realize that the ways in which the members of the Saints Group obtained extraordinary abilities seemed to have many similarities with his own.

"Tell me, what abilities have you gained, and what is the path to promotion?"

"Do you also know the promotion path?"

"Nonsense, the ability given by the original seed god can be understood as a power seed. After being implanted in the body, you can only obtain a small degree of specific enhancement. Subsequent ability growth must rely on your own efforts."

Facing An An's inquiry, Ji Xiu thought for a moment and then nodded:

"My ability is to increase my physical fitness, which requires specific training methods to grow."

"The strengthening ability is not bad, but why does it make me feel familiar... This may be the reason why Lei Yan chose to keep you in the Saints group. Otherwise, as a killer, it would not be a crime to sentence you to death. Pass."

Ji Xiu:......

"I'm very curious now, who is the original god behind you?"

Looking at An An, who looked suspicious, Ji Xiu chose to use his original excuse.

"I don't know. The original god behind me seems to have not yet awakened, and has not given me any tasks."

"Since you don't know, then I'll ask Him myself."

An An nodded at this moment, then suddenly raised the blue war hammer in his hand and smashed it directly towards the sacrifice formation on the ground.

The moment the war hammer landed, energy rippled from the formation, gathering towards An An.

An An also closed her eyes at this moment.

Ji Xiu was surprised when he saw this scene, but he was extremely calm inside.

Even if An An can enter the mist space, at most it will expose the secret, which will not have any impact on him.

Maybe An An can help him explain the reason for the existence of the mist space.

However, the energy ripples broke at this moment, and the shimmering formation dimmed and returned to calm.

"Huh... I can't establish a communication connection. It seems that I really haven't awakened, but why can you get the power given by Him when He hasn't awakened?"

An An frowned and fell into thought, then looked up at Ji Xiu:

"It's strange that you are the only one who seems to be able to connect with Him in His slumber."

"Sister An, the original god behind me should be a good god, and we will definitely be allies in the future."

"It doesn't matter what you say. After He wakes up, he will decide whether to take you to the execution ground and shoot you, or to establish an order organization for you and the original god behind you."

As he said that, An An looked at the sacrifice ceremony formation at his feet and said with a strange expression:

"It takes a lot of blood to set up this formation. You don't have to draw blood to set up the formation every time you connect with the person behind you. That would be too troublesome."

"No way, it seems like this is the only way to connect to the original god behind me."

Thinking of having to do it all over again every time he entered the mist space, Ji Xiu felt distressed, and his fingers and arms also ached slightly.

In order to arrange the sacrifice formation at his feet, he had to take several injections to draw enough blood.

"Actually, there's no need to go to such trouble. I have a way to help you."

With that said, An An raised the blue war hammer in his hand and slammed it to the ground.

This impact on the sacrifice formation did not cause the imaginary scene of the earth shaking. Instead, the energy ripples spread and then quickly contracted, making the formation obviously smaller.

boom! boom! boom!
  Under An An's violent blow, the sacrifice formation shrank rapidly, and its surface was wrapped in a circle of blue crystal material.

In the end, the sacrificial formation at Ji Xiu's feet condensed into a thumb-sized blue crystal.

An An bent down to pick up the blue crystal stone on the ground and threw it towards him.

"It's done. You only need to concentrate on staring at this gem to open the connection... By the way, there is still some residual power of mine in it. When it is not enough, you can always come to me to recharge it."

Reaching out to catch the diamond-shaped blue crystal thrown by An An, Ji Xiu looked down and then looked up at An An:

"Sister An, thank you very much. It's been a big help."

"You're welcome. If the person behind you is determined to be the God of Disaster in the future, I may kill you myself."

An An waved his hands with a bored look on his face and opened his mouth to continue saying something, but the clarity in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and confusion filled his eyes.

She looked down at her feet, then up at Ji Xiu, and smacked her mouth twice:

"I'm so sleepy... Take me to bed quickly, it's too late."

As he spoke, An An slowly squatted down, laid his head back, and closed his eyes. Ji Xiu:......

An An's sudden stupidity always catches him off guard.

……

That night, after returning home from the clergy hospital, Ji Xiu started busy with dinner.

During this period, a conjecture came to his mind.

He speculated that the enhancement of special abilities did not come from the body, but from the soul.

After the strengthening was completed and the consciousness returned to the body from the mist space, the power was infused into Li Tan's body.

So he guessed that he would use Li Tan's body to strengthen this ability to stage 2, and then upload the ability to his natal soul body. Even if his consciousness is transferred to other bodies, the ability will be inherited.

But whether this speculation is the truth is yet to be determined.

When he was browsing online information to learn about gods, he had seen an article about interpreting souls.

The author mentioned a conjecture in the article that the gods they believed in may not have bodies and exist in the form of souls.

If the author's guess is the truth, his natal soul body is his final destination, and he will complete his rebirth by returning his consciousness to his soul and become an original god.

At that time, you may be able to cross the world barrier and return to the earth... and then tell your fellow earthlings:

"I don't eat beef."

Of course, this is just a joke.

With his character, even if he has the most powerful force in the world, he will not do anything unscrupulous.

After all, justice is something engraved in his bones.

But until that day comes, he still has to use other people's bodies in the form of soul transfer.

So collecting willing power will be one of his next goals.

Another goal is to explore the ruins that Han Yun has visited. This will have to wait until You Hong returns before contacting him to apply.

6:28pm.

After dinner, Ji Xiu changed into sportswear and went out.

Among the three promotion paths, Ji Xiu decisively chose the simplest warrior path, strengthening his abilities through physical exercise.

The remaining two trails are more difficult.

Especially the heavy armor path, which requires enduring pain to gain experience, which in his opinion is simply torture.

These three paths are actually physical enhancements.

The difference lies in the bias of reinforcement.

It can be understood that the effect of the physical fitness enhancement ability is divided into three dimensions, namely strength, defense, and skill.

The warrior path mainly enhances strength, followed by defense, and finally skills.

The Fighting Master path mainly strengthens skills, followed by strength, and finally defense.

The heavy armor path mainly strengthens defense, followed by strength, and finally skills.

……

Now that he has chosen the warrior path, it is particularly important to exercise his body, which can provide him with the experience points needed to lead to the "Physical Enhancement Stage Two".

As winter approaches, the weather gradually turns colder.

The cold wind outside was biting, and the number of pedestrians on the street decreased. Apart from vehicles, only a few figures bundled up in clothes and hurried on their way.

Standing in the parking garage in front of the apartment building, Ji Xiu stretched his body through warm-up exercises.

After a long time, he put on his headphones and ran to Pier 3.

For this exercise, he planned a route for himself, starting from the Dream Apartment and crossing three blocks to Pier 3, where Li Tan used to work, and then turning back the same way.

After receiving the enhancement of physical fitness, Ji Xiu felt extremely relaxed while running.

In order to make it more difficult for himself, he started to speed up.

After running four kilometers, a little sweat broke out on his forehead.

After arriving at the pier and running around the pier, Ji Xiu began to turn back.

By the time he got home, he was sweating profusely.

I took out my phone and looked at the total distance of today's run. It was 13 kilometers in total.

With anticipation, Ji Xiu picked up the blue diamond-shaped crystal hanging around his neck and stared at it with concentration.

Suddenly the surrounding space was distorted, and gray fog swept in.

Entering the mist space again, he immediately looked up at the black token suspended above his natal soul body.

As the information poured into his mind, Ji Xiu's expression instantly froze.

[Physique Increase-Warrior]:
  Promotion requirements: Gain promotion experience through physical training and tempering physical strength (0.012/100)

……

"0.012?"

Ji Xiu felt unbelievable and looked at the numbers in the information list again. After confirming that he had read correctly, his mood suddenly became complicated.

After running for 13 kilometers, I didn’t even get single-digit experience gains. I clenched my fists subconsciously:

"What a great workout."
