Li Wei raised his arm, which had changed into another form, and his mouth slightly opened, as if he couldn't speak.
From his elbow downward, it no longer resembled a human arm. A dark red crust had replaced the original skin, somewhat like exposed muscle tissue. When touched with his other hand, it felt rough on the surface and very hard, akin to a suit of armor, accompanied by a burning sensation.
Beneath the devil's dark red cuticle-like skin, there are also thick cracks, like exposed blood vessels. The thickest one runs directly from the back of the hand through the entire forearm to the elbow.
Beneath these fissures, there is no flesh or blood visible, replaced instead by a faint blue mist.
That's demonic energy.
After moving his fingers around, apart from some lingering effects of immense pain, there is no other discomfort.
Comparing both hands, his demonic left hand does indeed have an increase in strength compared to his normal right hand. Before this, Levi was quite balanced in his left and right hands. Now, upon rough estimation, the strength of his demonic left hand should be about twice as strong as his normal right hand.
This value is not as strong as Levi imagined. He originally thought that after obtaining the demonic left hand, he could punch through stars!
Of course, the so-called "punching out stars with one blow" is an exaggeration. However, this also indicates that the amplification degree of power brought by the devil's hand indeed does not meet his expectations.
However, increasing strength is not the strongest effect of the devil's left hand. What Dune favors most is the use of devilish power.
He extended his left hand, moved his mind, and a blue claw composed purely of evil power appeared in front of him.
This claw is as big as the heads of two adults. He swung his arm down, so the虚幻出来的blue claw followed the movement of his left hand and slapped the ground fiercely. The floor, which was not of very good quality, was instantly cracked into numerous thick fractures. The spots directly slapped by the claw even turned into powder.
This is far beyond the strength of ordinary people. Even those who have completed extreme tempering, if they want to deliver such a powerful attack with their physical body, it would probably only be those who specialize in strength and exert themselves to the fullest in order to achieve such an effect, right?
Not to mention, Li Wei's demonic claw is still a medium to long-range attack.
With a thought, the blue demonic claw flew out a few meters and attached to the wall of the rental house. At this distance, he felt he could still operate this arm with ease, but he could also feel that if it were farther, it might be more laborious.
For now, the control range of the demonic left hand should be within ten meters. This should not be the limit, and if he exerts himself, he can probably extend it further, but the power of the demonic claw will inevitably be affected to some extent. He also felt that if he exercises it in the future, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
With a flick of his thoughts, he gently waved his arm, and the blue demonic claw grabbed a metal water cup on the bedside table. Li Wei wanted to try if he could remotely retrieve the water cup through the demonic claw.
However, the force was not very easy to control. After a moment, the water cup was brought over by him, but the metal body of the cup was already twisted from being crushed.
"Seems like the fine control of power still needs improvement," he sighed with emotion.
He wasn't too worried about this. New obtained powers would always have an adaptation period. He believed that as time passed and when he gradually became better at mastering the power of the demonic left hand, everything would get better.
Having just gained a completely new power and an interesting one, he couldn't help but keep the demonic arm in its released state for a bit longer, to play around a bit and also to initially adapt to the new power.
But soon, he felt some numbness in his left hand and his spirit also slightly weakened.
This must be the consumption of the body and spirit caused by maintaining the release state of the demonic claw.
After about a minute, he felt that it was difficult to continue to insist, and the arm composed entirely of demonic power also became less stable.
It seems that this is the limit.
Without forcing himself too much, Li Wei withdrew his strength.
The physical weakness needs to be supplemented with food. Moreover, the abnormality of the left arm also needs to be covered up a bit.
Leaving the house, he planned to go to the nearest store.
There are many people outside. This is a low-rent housing built in the lower district, which is 12 stories high and not very large in area, but it has been densely compartmentalized into many rooms. Now, the corridor is full of people, with a constant hum of voices. Everyone is discussing the same thing.
"What just happened? Was it an earthquake?"
"I feel the same way, the house is shaking."
Upon a cursory listen, Li Wei burst into laughter - it seemed that the commotion he had just made in the room was a bit too loud.
Without any change in expression, he pushed through the crowd and descended the stairs, quickly forgetting about the incident.
However, this also served as a reminder for him. He had quite a few secrets, and his current residence was indeed somewhat inconvenient. If he had the opportunity, he should consider moving to a new place.
...
After going to the store and purchasing some bandages and food, he then headed back home.
Wearing a long-sleeved jacket and by deliberately covering, the abnormalities of his left hand went unnoticed. But this could not last forever, and he was not willing to reveal his abilities - at least not for the time being.
The purchased bandages came in handy.
In addition to being used to treat wounds, the remaining bandages were all wrapped around his left hand, concealing the abnormalities of his left arm tightly and securely.
After consuming all the purchased fast food, he rested for a while, and after feeling his body regain its strength, he went out again.
He needed to submit the entrusted mission.
However, before that, Li Wei had one more thing to do. He planned to visit Zhang Xi's house.
This vampire somehow infiltrated the Skull Gang, but after being the boss here for so long, he must have amassed a considerable amount of money. There might be some gains.
Anyway, Zhang Xi is already dead, and it wouldn't take much effort to wander around his house. Li Wei is currently in need of money.
He moved quickly and was fortunate enough to find a tram nearby after leaving home. After putting in a white crystal, he headed towards Zhang Xi's residence.
By the time he arrived at the residential area where Zhang Xi lived, the police had not yet arrived.
"Indeed, the police in the lower districts are nothing but a bunch of useless." Li Wei sighed in his heart, then pushed at the door of the two-story building in front of him.
It didn't open.
He didn't mind it, looked around with a sweep of his eyes, and no one was around, so he just climbed over the wall and arrived at the second-floor window.
The public security in the lower districts is not good, even ordinary residences, not to mention windows, will also add anti-theft facilities.
But, that might still have some effect on general thieves, but for Li Wei, at most it can be said to take a bit of effort.
Soon, he pried open the window, and in a flash he entered the house.
