Chapter 57 51. Pursuit from a High-level Awakener (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)
At this moment, Fang Ze did not know that the enemy was about to attack.
He had not slept, instead calculating the time as he patiently waited for the Shadow Warrior to wake him, while practicing the Shadow Warrior's special technique "Throwing Stick" in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
Using this special technique today had given Fang Ze a great shock.
Usually, he was just tossing a chair back and forth, unable to see the power of "Throwing Stick."
But today in combat, holding a steel spear and using "Throwing Stick," the power was simply astonishing.
Therefore, he placed great importance on what was the first Martial Skill he had learned.
He even had an "immature" idea: to use his first "High-Interest Loan" ability on "Throwing Stick."
Fang Ze's elementary Credit World had two abilities, one was like Ant Check Later, drawing on an effect from the upcoming month in advance. This had already become Fang Ze's "strength accelerator."
The other was, of course, "High-Interest Loan."
It could unlimitedly borrow strength, but had tremendous side effects.
Actually, since obtaining "High-Interest Loan," Fang Ze had always wanted to experiment with this branch ability.
After all, it was his biggest trump card.
To his surprise, he couldn't use it at all.
He tried making himself a stronger Awakener than even Bai Ling or directly enhance his own strength.
But.... nothing happened.
He tried making himself able to fly or able to smash a mountain with one punch...
But.... still could not use it.
During those experiments, Fang Ze was full of question marks.
My thoughts are clearly not wrong. Why can't it be used?
This situation persisted until the day before he escaped, after he had a conversation with Bai Ling, things changed.
After talking with Bai Ling, Fang Ze discovered... he could now use the "High-Interest Loan" ability.
When he wanted to enhance his physical fitness to the Bone Tempering stage, that annoying rabbit finally showed up.
And when Fang Ze wanted to elevate "Credit World" to advanced level, that annoying rabbit appeared again...
And each time, it presented the necessary price list.
Although he canceled both uses in the end, Fang Ze had figured out the two hidden conditions of the "High-Interest Loan" ability:
First, you cannot bluff. Only when Fang Ze clearly knows the details of what he is borrowing and the target he wants to achieve can he use it.
Second, the cost difference between borrowing strength temporarily and borrowing permanently is enormous. The latter's cost is almost beyond what Fang Ze can repay.
So, after much thought, Fang Ze felt the most suitable way to combine with "High-Interest Loan," which could serve as a trump card with the smallest price, might just be special skills like Throwing Stick.
Such special skills inherently have great power and are hard to resist. And.... they can be used on a one-off basis.
"High-Interest Loan" ability could effortlessly enhance it, and at a relatively low cost. Fang Ze had the capacity to repay it over a short period.
Today, after testing the power of "Throwing Stick" in actual combat, Fang Ze became even more expectant of this trump card's power.
"Throwing Stick" + "High-Interest Loan".... It always feels like it could destroy heaven and earth...
With that, Fang Ze, looking forward to the combination of Martial Skills and Awakening Ability, diligently trained.
He did not know how long had passed.
When Fang Ze was practicing Throwing Stick for the fifth time,
suddenly, he felt the entire Late-Night Investigation Room begin to shake violently.
Hearing his command, the roots of the Giant Tree Person instantly wriggled rapidly on the ground, gaining traction, then carried him forward at high speed....
......
The moon sets, stars sparse.
The darkness gradually fades, and the fiery red sunrise begins to rise from the east....
5 AM.
Special Case Team, temporary residence.
Cui Xuemin's dormitory.
The bed next to him, which had "someone" lying in it, was now empty. Explore hidden tales at empire
And Cui Xuemin stood alone in his room, looking out at the sunrise, his eyes narrowing slightly...
'Estimating by time, the ranger should be catching up to Fang Ze soon.'
'The ranger is a high-ranking Awakener, and he has undergone formal training in martial arts and combat.'
'Fang Ze was just an untrained ordinary person half a month ago, and now at best, he is a beginner Awakener.'
'Ordinary creatures, after Awakening, begin to accept the World's Laws (Awakening Ability).'
'The integration of the World's Laws assists in the growth of the creatures' physiques. This significantly enhances their physical attributes and recuperative abilities to accommodate more Law Power.'
'The higher the potential of the Awakening Ability, the faster this accelerated state.'
'By the intermediate stage, most creatures have reached the stage of Skin Tempering, significantly enhancing their resilience against impact. At this point, the World's Laws also form a Law Protective Membrane over the creature's body.'
'With these two layers of protection, ordinary thermal weapons and low-level Disaster Creatures can no longer harm the Awakener.'
'For high-ranked Awakeners, it is about completely integrating a complete fragment of the Law into their bodies.'
'Not only do they achieve effortless control of that specific Law, but their bodies also reach a state of unity between sinews and bones, with blood like liquid mercury, under the support of the World's Laws.'
'At this stage, the Awakener has endless stamina, their body akin to humanoid armor. Facing ordinary people, to say they can fight a thousand is hardly an exaggeration.'
'Even artillery shells can hardly hurt them.'
'Unless it is power from the same level, almost all attacks are futile.'
'They are truly what you call Transcendent Creatures....'
Analyzing this, Cui Xuemin's gaze intensified, and he judged,
'Just upon contact, given the ranger's capability, the battle should be resolved within a few minutes.'
'After all, he is inherently in an invincible position, and in the forest, the ideal place for him to demonstrate his power.'
'Even against a Fuser, if the opponent doesn't possess a counteracting ability, victory is unlikely to be in their favor....'
........
Meanwhile, as Cui Xuemin was analyzing.
At that moment, in the jungle, Fang Ze, who was fleeing, also sensed that something was amiss.
Sitting on Stick Two's shoulder, Fang Ze twisted around to look back.
Not far behind in the jungle, for some unknown reason, it seemed as if a ground dragon had passed through, with a 'rumbling' noise, not only birds flapping about wildly and dust flying, but trees also falling one after another.
Even without knowing what was happening, a foreboding feeling arose in Fang Ze's heart....
Could it really be pursuers?
Would the pursuit be this loud?
While hesitating, Fang Ze signaled to Stick One and Stick Two to change direction, to avoid whatever terrifying thing was in the distance....
