Before long, a skeleton wrapped in a school uniform appeared in the bedroom through a holographic projection.
"Holy crap! Where is this? Whose body is this? Brother Lu, why aren't you dressed? Wait, did you grow taller? Your physique has gotten so fit! Tsk tsk, those muscles."
As soon as Wuer showed up, it started babbling noisily.
Can't blame it for reacting like that, because the surroundings are truly bizarre.
A corpse lay nearby, blood all over the ground.
On the floor, there's a large hole that spans from the third floor to the first, with a wrecked robot at the bottom... The combat marks at the scene were evident.
Lu Xun was just wearing shabby shorts, with a bare chest, revealing a robust and well-proportioned physique.
Although he had exited the "Ghost God Body" muscle beast mode and returned to normal form, his physique had noticeably changed, showcasing streamlined muscles that were quite impressive.
When did Brother Lu with those skinny arms and legs become a male model? Wuer was quite surprised.
"This is urgent, save the small talk, teach me quickly," Lu Xun said in a serious tone.
It came to its senses, quickly nodded, and walked toward Old Octopus's corpse.
"This magic is very, very simple, even beginners can get the hang of it instantly."
Wuer squatted down, pointed at the ground with its fingers, and said to Lu Xun, "First, draw the magic array with me, pay attention to where my hand is."
It used its skeleton fingers to trace on the ground.
Lu Xun nodded, and following its demonstration, he drew a line with Old Octopus's blood.
"Next is this..."
Thus, with Wuer's holographic projection guiding him hand by hand, within just five minutes, a very eerie blood-red pattern was drawn.
"Well done, very good."
It checked over it, nodded very satisfied, and added:
"Next, I'll teach you three spells. You don't need to worry about their meanings, just replicate every syllable, just like copying homework."
"Start from the first one, ahem, listen carefully. Wumo~ Hassan..."
Lu Xun nodded, this really wasn't difficult.
He quickly remembered the pronunciation and sequence of all three spells, and tested it ten times without a mistake.
"Finally, control the magic essence to light up the array pattern, and recite the spells to cast."
Wuer shrugged, helplessly said, "Brother Lu, can you really control the flow of magic essence as a human? If it doesn't work, perhaps I should come over... Holy crap!"
Just as it finished speaking, it noticed Lu Xun's skin becoming increasingly rosy, the temperature rising rapidly, finally turning bright red and emitting waves of heat.
The nearby intangible fire element was drawn inwards, eagerly rushing into the blood-colored pattern on the ground.
As the ancient and obscure mysterious spells were chanted, the array was illuminated piece by piece, eventually bursting with blinding bloodlight.
Buzz~
The surrounding void vibrated, the ritual seemed to have received a response from some great existence in the unseen realm.
Lu Xun's mind surfaced with a scene—
Under the moonlight, a man with a mechanical face dressed in black, carrying a black plastic bag, weaving through the crowd, turning a corner, opening an inconspicuous back door, entering a building...
The scene abruptly stopped, the ritual ended.
"Didn't expect you could actually control magic essence." Wuer's eyes danced with soul fire, looking Lu Xun up and down very curiously, asking again, "How's it, Brother Lu, did you find it?"
"Not yet, let me think..."
Lu Xun frowned in thought, "Let's summarize the info."
'These street scenes are in the Inner City District... Familiar building shadows flash across the road surface... It's the Clock Tower! Furthermore, the sound of a river...'
Suddenly, he brightened up, opened the panoramic map on his communication device.
Soon he found a Clock Tower on the West Riverfront in the Inner City District, and the alley southeast of the Clock Tower was exactly where the man in black disappeared.
"I know where he is now!"
Lu Xun nodded at Wuer, said, "Thanks, Da Gu, I'll handle all your assignments this semester!"
"Seriously?! Brother Lu, I trust you on this, you better not be lying." Wuer was ecstatic.
However, immediately, it also felt worried, nervously said, "Brother Lu, you're not going alone, are you? What if you encounter danger? Maybe you should call the police!"
Lu Xun shook his head, "I have it under control, don't worry about it, lest I drag you into it too. That's it, hanging up now."
With that, he ended the communication, and Wuer's holographic projection vanished from the bedroom.
This matter can't be resolved by the security team.
He's also considered simply 'turning himself in', seeking shelter.
From their methods, it was apparent that the enemy were also secretive rats.
Willing to stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even carrying out 'in-house civilian assassination', they could be said to be lawless bandits!
But given the involvement of military level prosthetic bodies, combat robots, and weapons like "Plasma Light Saber," it's clear it's not simple, too deep!
Plus, if he decides to confess, he'll have to give up the sixty million gained from the black clinic that means his uncle will still die!
Oh right, Old Octopus's sixty million has to be given up too...
Now there's only one path before him—to break into the enemy's lair and retrieve the brain tissue!
But the enemy is too powerful!
The opposing side has only shown the tip of the iceberg, and it's already making people feel uneasy.
How easy is it to reclaim the brain?
Rushing in recklessly, Lu Xun is likely to meet an ugly death!
Unless he can gain much stronger power in a short period!
And he hasn't even killed a chicken before, now he has to engage in a life-and-death struggle?
The situation has spiraled out of control unconsciously, reaching a level of severity where he has no choice left.
The man in black has already returned with Old Octopus's brain to their lair.
In a little while, they will be able to extract the memories and put Lu Xun on the kill list!
Thinking about how Old Octopus's two cats were dismembered and killed.
This group is utterly vicious.
If they wouldn't spare the cats, how could they spare Lu Xun's family?!
"I'm just a doctor, wanting to protect my family… I have no guilt looking up to heaven or looking down on earth, I haven't done anything wrong."
"It's all because you forced me!!!"
Lu Xun gritted his teeth, his gaze filled with a resolute fierceness.
He communicated with the All-Knowing Right Hand, his sight landing on the 65,000 Trait Points, and without any hesitation, he made a decision:
"Add points for me!!"
"Use up everything, not saving a single bit!"
Buzz!!!!!!!
In an instant, the 65,000 Trait Points were zeroed out in a single breath.
In its place was an unprecedented surge of energy rushing from his right hand.
Like a torrential flood roaring into his body, sweeping through his limbs, engulfing every cell.
"Ahhh——"
Lu Xun roared, enduring the invasion of the excruciating pain, pounding the ground with his fists as he lay prostrate.
He arched his back high, his body rapidly swelling and expanding.
His muscles were like they were cast in iron and steel.
Each tendon stretched, with layers of muscles stacking upon each other.
He unconsciously entered the Ghost God Body form, and with his muscles tearing and healing countless times, his body continued to grow, the dimensions of his muscles and bones skyrocketing!
2.1 meters… 2.2 meters… 2.3 meters…
Until he transformed into a terrifying giant ghost standing two and a half meters tall!
His Life Level was climbing step by step, breaking into High Level, and then breaking into Special Level!
He had risen two Great Realms.
Thirteen years of accumulated Trait Points were finally squandered away.
Roar!!
Lu Xun roared up to the sky, visible shockwaves surging out, causing the chandelier on the ceiling to sway.
He had a red horn atop his head, his two massive arms spread out, his physique imposing, his stance statuesque.
His entire body was covered with large muscles like rocks.
His veins bulged, his pulse raced!
Beneath every inch of skin lurked a frenzy of power.
Just one fist was bigger than an adult's head!
[Biological Traits: Fierce Power Lv6, Rigid Lv6, Vibration Lv4, Vitality Lv5, Burning Lv4]
"The 'Rigid' at level six, I wonder if it can withstand the cutting of a Plasma Light Saber..."
Lu Xun uttered in a low, beastly voice.
He took one last look at Old Octopus's remains and waved his hand in a parting gesture.
Then he grabbed the money-filled travel bag, with a 'boom' leaped to the first floor, picked up his backpack.
Taking the 120 million cash, he bent his knees and leapt, crashing through the concrete wall, coming outside.
Lu Xun turned back, looking at this house, slowly raising his right hand, a crimson glow rising on the surface of his skin.
Around him, magic essence surged in waves, circles of fierce flames spiraled up his arm, moving forward, gathering into a huge orange-red spiral fireball in his hand.
With a flick of the wrist, the fireball flew out with a whoosh, landing inside, igniting all combustible materials including gasoline.
Boom——
The blast swept in all directions, instantly flattening the entire building with power no less than several thousand pounds of aerial bomb.
The rampant flames devoured everything.
The imposing figure slowly faded into the distance in the firelight…
