A shot of C-grade genetic fluid brought very noticeable effects. Although it didn't allow Li Wei to directly break through the limit of tempering, it at least brought him closer to it.
Feeling his current state, Li Wei believed that with another C-grade evolution fluid or even 5-6 D-grade evolution fluids, he could truly reach the verge of extreme tempering.
As for breakthroughs, it's necessary to try one more shot to see.
His mentality has also calmed down quite a bit; he doesn't need to compete with those so-called geniuses.
Indeed, some formidable guys can reach the level that Li Wei only achieves through frantic injections with their own training. So what? When a real fight occurs, who wins and who loses all comes down to their abilities.
His true reliance is still the Book of All Laws.
Thinking of the Book of All Laws, Li Wei also remembered one thing: he needs to continue exercising his demonic left hand.
Unless one undergoes specialized training, the application of the devil's hand, formed from demonic power, could cause problems in actual combat.
Having just moved to a new home, the surrounding environment can be considered quite secluded. There is no need to worry about disturbing others, nor be overly concerned about being discovered.
He untied the bandage wrapped around his left hand, revealing the red demonic arm. With a mere thought, blue demonic power began to rise from the arm.
Regarding the magical claws composed entirely of energy, Levi still felt somewhat inadequate in controlling them. It's not that he couldn't control them, but after all, they are not real arms. Using them to perform delicate actions is still quite difficult.
You cannot expect such an illusory hand to function exactly like a real one in writing and practicing calligraphy.
However, Levi didn't aim to reach such a level. At least, being able to grab objects like cups should be achievable.
After exercising for a period of time, Li Wei also found that the effect of the Class C gene liquid was indeed reflected.
Before this, when he just obtained the ability of the devil's left hand, the materialized devil's claw could only be sustained for a maximum of one minute. Now, this duration has been increased to two minutes, doubled.
Moreover, he also found that as his own exercise continues and his use of devilish power becomes more refined, the duration of this ability continues to increase.
However, there is still a pitiful place, which is that the exercise of the devil's left hand cannot be carried on continuously. After using it for two minutes, his body has a feeling of being in arrears. He must rest for a long time before he can recover.
During this period, he will not waste time. He continues to exercise and temper his will in a state of physical overdraft, which is beneficial for the improvement of combat strength.
Of course, nutrition must keep up.
At the moment, Li Wei still had some money on hand. Although, the bonus from the C-class mission was swapped for a vial of genetic evolution fluid, the money that was found during the search of Zhang Xi's house was still in his possession. This money might not be enough to do much else, but it was sufficient to buy some high-quality food and nutrients needed to meet the energy requirements for body tempering.
Two minutes of demon left-hand training, two combat techniques and body tempering sessions, then eating and resting, followed by another cycle.
During this time, Li Wei led a regular and fulfilling life.
Since a while ago, he hadn't stepped out of the door or interacted with others, even relying on a small grocery store delivery person for food. With no immediate financial or other pressing needs, there was indeed no necessity for him to go outside.
Of course, if given the option, he would definitely prefer to head over to the branch and pick up a few missions to further hone his abilities through actual combat.
But on the other hand, the reason why it is said that the 17th District branch has no future lies here. This place is chaotic and full of various troubles, but it is precisely that it cannot appear at any desk. Gang fights, prohibited goods trading, these are all considered good, there are no lack of missions of personal grudges, and also some lower-level, more rotten trivial matters.
There are a large number of E-level commissions, and when it comes to D-level, there are too many monks and too little meat. As for the C-level, there are more of them, after all, not many people dare to do it. But the C-level commissions on "Wilderness Delicacies" are either too few rewards, out of proportion to the danger, or they have been accumulating for a long time, it is very likely that they have already expired, or the history is too old, and even the clues are not known where to find the commission.
Such commissions have no value for doing. If you really pick it up, it is purely a waste of time - and a harvestless waste.
For Li Wei, if he had the time, he wouldn't mind taking care of one or two D-level commissions.
However, let's drop it for now and deal with the trouble that is Zhang Zongming first.
...
Without keeping Li Wei waiting for long, Zhang Zongming made an appearance after a week.
He issued a challenge to Li Wei.
Three days later, within the perpetually dim environment of Block 17, the sound of the central bell tower echoed, signifying that noon had arrived - which also happened to be the time stated three days earlier in the written challenge.
Li Wei had never thought about avoiding this challenge.
Even a coward like Zhang Zongming, who would rather stay in this dilapidated place of Block 17 for seven years, waiting for the so-called "opportunity," than venture outside, dares to come directly to the door to issue a challenge. What's there for Li Wei to be afraid of accepting?
The number one expert in Block 17? That title is nothing but a joke! If he really had the ability, he would have gone to hunt Konstdorf long ago. How could the training quota of the Hunter's Guild headquarters fall into Levi's hands?
In the end, it's still fear of death, the fear of facing a legitimate vampire.
However, when facing Levi, a new person who has not even completed the realm of limits, who has just entered the industry for less than half a year, and who has relied on some special means and lucky to kill Konstdorf, he has the courage to directly send a challenge.
Then let's fight, Levi has no intention of holding back.
Killing Zhang Zongming would also eliminate any thoughts of taking the training quota of the Hunter's Guild headquarters from him.
For today's challenge, Levi did not continue his training from the day before. It's a battle of life and death, and of course, he had to maintain a good physical condition.
When he walked out of his house, Zhang Zongming had already been standing across the way, looking from a distance.
His grey-white cloth clothes rustled loudly, blown by a gust of wind that seemed to come from nowhere.
Seeing Li Wei come out, he said nothing and slowly took down the long, white cloth-wrapped item behind him.
As the white cloth was lifted, it indeed turned out to be a spear.
He brandished the approximately two and a half meter-long spear, his movements agile, the spearhead gleaming coldly, exuding a chilling aura.
It appeared the rumors that Zhang Zongming possessed an extraordinary weapon were true.
Li Wei also slowly stroked the dagger on his waist, but his right hand took out a well-loaded handgun.
Another gust of wind came, and the two moved at the same time!
