Chapter 169 Return to reality (4100)
The sky is black, the color of rain.
Cold, painful, scary.
Ka Xiu's brain is now like a ball of paste, as if a wooden stick from nowhere has been inserted into it and stirred up. He could no longer see clearly the changes in the things around him. Tears and blood were mixed together, as if it were a glass full of blood-red veins.
The sound of wind and rain was isolated outside this glass.
Where Ka Xiu couldn't see it, time receded from all directions like a tide. Everything around him was frozen at that moment, including the solemn expression on Mian's old face, the rain and mist like waves in the sky, and the water spray blooming in the gaps on the ground.
There are also large ruins emitting black smoke as a background.
Looking from a distance, it looks like the most lifelike and exquisite picture. Those people of that era were doing something.
And the next second, all the colors and outlines began to blur and deform. It was as if heavy rain washed down, destroying everything on the drawing board. In the end, only a ball of fused paint remains, soaking into the paper in colorful colors.
In confusion, Kaxiu sank into the deep sea.
"Oh, we poor people with no money..."
"Perhaps the clothes are in tatters and look ridiculous..."
“But we were striding side by side, humming.”
"Shoulder to shoulder!"
"What will happen tomorrow? I really have no idea..."
"Maybe there is a lot of troubles, maybe there is a lot of sadness"
The distant jazz music floated in the air with a gentle tune, as if even the breathing had slowed down. On the rectangular counter, a black celluloid LP record was spinning quietly. The twelve-inch black record had stereo sound.
Able to express the music melody perfectly.
In a daze, it was like sitting next to the burning fire of the fireplace, accompanied by the crackling sound of firewood, and little bits of night snow falling outside the window. And you are lying on the comfortable sofa, watching the pictures scrolling on the black and white TV, and your fingertips are filled with hazy tobacco.
There was also a white cat with fluffy hair sleeping in his arms.
It's very quiet, very comfortable, a little too comfortable.
"call!"
Ka Xiu, who was lying on the armchair, opened his eyes suddenly.
Suddenly, the bright and warm midday sun almost blinded him on the spot. Kashiu closed his eyes suddenly, like a vampire who hated the sun, and covered his face with his two palms.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses and stand up in a daze.
The sky in Black Rain Villa was too dark, and the black rain in the rainy world never stopped from the moment it appeared. Ka Xiu suddenly returned to the real world and felt very uncomfortable.
He pressed his hands on the balcony guardrail, looked up at the distant sky, and looked around. The pure blue is interspersed with patches of white clouds, like lumps of soft marshmallows. The residential walls are very white, and the leaves of more than a dozen ornamental trees are green and shiny.
The breeze blew against my face, bringing with it a warm feeling.
Ka Xiu twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally, trying to smile as if to relieve stress, but he couldn't smile.
Maybe it's because he stayed in the dark environment of Black Rain Villa for a long time and got wet with too much rain, so his whole body became gloomy.
If you want to return to your former cheerful and talkative self, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to adapt to it bit by bit. After all, he spent several years in the retrospective era this time.
To the real world, it was just a blink of an eye, but for Cardiff, this period of time really happened to him, adding a few more notches on the annual cycle of his life.
These marks are not age, not years.
But experience.
When a person has completely gone through an experience, he will become different from before, and changes have already occurred in the process.
"Kakaka..."
Suddenly, a series of skeletal sounds in his body brought Card Xiu back to his senses. A raging heat enveloped every corner of the body from all directions, and it felt like the whole person was soaked in a hot spring. The warm spring water gently caressed the muscles and bones, causing no pain, only bursts of relief.
Card Xiu blinked, and he realized that the effect of the retroactive ability was coming. Your own physique will be strengthened in the real world.
The body was sweating slightly, gradually soaking the clothes on the body, and a ball of light white vapor passed through the gaps in the sleeves.
When the steam dissipated, Kaxiu's muscles did not become larger or his body became stronger like the previous times. This time, he shrank in size. Although his frame remained the same, the strong muscles throughout his body shrank. At this time, Ka Xiu's figure was more streamlined, and his arms and thighs were still strong and lean.
He clenched his fist slightly, feeling familiar. The third time the blood speeds up, the boxer reaches the level of physical fitness. The three nodes between the eyebrows, navel, and heart are circulating blood.
Every moment, the body seems to be slightly strengthened.
Ka Xiu has become thinner, but stronger!
He was even heavier than before, and the density of his muscles and bones automatically compressed. The force generated by every inch of Kaxiu's muscles and meridians will be stronger than before.
When he thought of this, he subconsciously glanced at the upper right corner.
"Wind Elephant Fist: Elephant Group 76.6% (three levels in total)"
"Elephant Soul Secret Technique: Insect Bite 78.3% (three levels in total)"
If Ka Xiu remembers correctly, the moment before he left the retrospect era, the Elephant Soul Secret Technique level was 72.8% of the second insect bite. Now, it has increased by about 5.5%.
Secret martial arts practice becomes more difficult the further you go. Each subsequent one percent may be equivalent to the previous ten percent of progress.
But, even so.
The 5.5% progress of the Bug Bite Chapter is still not comparable to the improvement from scratch to the second blood acceleration. The problem is actually obvious. Card Xiu can use the secret power of Black Rain Villa to accelerate his own practice and bring him back to the real world! However, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it can only produce a fraction of the original improvement.
Card Xiu sighed slightly. It was indeed not as easy as he imagined. After all, the retroactive ability did not give him the opportunity to use loopholes to level up crazily. Otherwise, he can keep going back to the era of Black Rain Villa and use this mechanism to crazily superimpose his body. Each retracement is a superposition. It is estimated that it will not take long for the missile to be able to withstand it.
Of course, there are some regrets. But this situation is actually very good. It can only be said that it is not the best result but a moderate result. It's just a bit disappointing that it didn't meet expectations.
Card Xiu immediately adjusted his mentality and glanced at the upper right corner again. His biggest gain from this retrospective was not physical progress, but various types of powerful skills.
as well as……
With a crash, Kaxiu pulled off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body. On the surface of the stone-like gray-white chest, an Ouroboros symbol comes to life.
Runes of wisdom.
Successfully brought back to the real world!
Effect 1: Increase the upper limit of the skill.
Effect 2: Inspiration bursts and breaks through bottlenecks.
Effect 3: Can integrate highly compatible techniques.
∞：□□□□□□□□□□□
The long, thin blank progress bar remains the same as before.
Within the rules of the wisdom runes, everything in the ancient mythology remains unchanged and cycles once a year.
That is to say, the wisdom rune can produce spiritual blood once a year, which can strongly assist card repairers in their secret martial arts or skill training.
When he first learned about the Rune of Wisdom, Ka Xiu had several questions. Which one has higher priority, the retroactive power or the rune of wisdom? Are the retrospective era and the real world the same world?
But now, Ka Xiu can give himself the answer.
The backward era and the real world are not the same world.
Retroactive abilities have high priority!
so……
The runes of wisdom have been refreshed! ! !
Reasonable and convincing.
Ka Xiu is proud of his ability to block bugs, and the ability to retrace his abilities is also his own ability. It is not an exaggeration for him to say that he has come a long way and the benefits of being able to block bugs are all his own. This is a fact before our eyes.
There is no room for argument.
The biggest gain from this retrospective is undoubtedly the rune of wisdom. It can be called the second plug-in for card repair.
Even surpassing the Demon Shadow!
Tired... destroy it...
Seeing that returning to the real world and the cooling down refresh of the wisdom runes verified his thoughts, Card Xiu showed a smile.
He continued to look at the status bar of Miwu progress with satisfaction.
"Stone Armor Technique: Rock Armor Small Success (three levels in total)"
"Lion Breathing Technique: Not Mastered (Total Level)"
"Secret Technique of the Mind's Eye: Not Mastered (Three Levels in Total)"
"Mildak Balance Destruction Technique: Small Success (Level 1)"
"Blue Wind Air Current: Second Level 90.2% (Two Levels)"
The above is related to the secret martial arts, and is closely related to Kaxiu's combat effectiveness. Plus, there are some extras.
Three cold weapon skills.
Tufa Sword Cutting: The Second Level of Dacheng (three levels in total)
Midak Cross Sword: The second level of completion (three levels in total)
Yaka Bloody Battle Ax: Getting Started with Level 2 (Three Levels in Total)
The three Decay Knight Executioners provided by single brushing will not have a great impact on the card repairman's combat effectiveness. At most, it's like a cyclist suddenly learning how to skateboard. He has learned another skill.
However, it cannot improve the performance of the bicycle like the Secret Art of the Mind's Eye or the Stone Armor Technique, thereby making one's main job even more powerful.
However, these three cold weapon skills are not useless.
For example, the Midak Balance Destruction Technique is extracted from the Midak Cross Sword. Stones from other mountains can attack jade.
The more you accumulate, the better.
As long as the priorities are clearly distinguished, it doesn't matter how many skills you have.
Among the techniques that are useful to Ka Xiu, the Lion's Breathing Technique and the Mind Eye Secret Technique have just been obtained, and he has not yet had time to practice them.
Midak's Balance Destruction Technique is still being mastered, and he is waiting for the Mind Eye Secret Technique to reach a certain stage for the two to be integrated and upgraded.
The Stone Armor Skill originally only had two levels, but after using the wisdom rune, it broke through the bottleneck and reached three levels. Then Kaxiu entered the third level with the help of masters from the northern secret martial arts world.
His body defense was raised to another level, and he performed well in the subsequent battle at Black Rain Villa. Apart from being irradiated by a meteorite in the end, Ka Xiu had only suffered minor injuries in previous battles.
The effect of this hard Qigong is obvious to all.
In addition, there is Blue Wind air current. It broke through 90% of the second level and was the result of Ka Xiu's hard work day after day over the past few years. Because this skill cannot be improved using the power of the secret soul, he does not want to use the power of the secret soul to improve it.
Fortunately, Kaxiu originally thought that helping Teacher Lisha perfect the third to fifth levels of Blue Wind Airflow would be far away, but now the wisdom rune is obviously a timely help.
Maybe it may not be possible to improve now, but there will definitely be opportunities in the future. There is much more hope than the originally slim hope.
Furthermore, in retrospect. Ka Xiu has been able to use the blue wind air current to violently rub the Rasengan, and the degree of completion is pretty good. At least seven or eight times out of ten were successful, indicating that his control had reached a new level and his power had improved significantly.
To sum up, Card Xiu’s strength has made several small leaps.
Its combat power is hard to say, but its defense power is definitely the first level below the fighter level. It is quite thick-skinned and durable, and it can probably withstand even heavy machine gun fire and jamming for a while.
A rare cold wind blew from the east, and Card Xiu's slightly loose pants bulged. He immediately returned to the living room from the half-moon-shaped white balcony and took a quick shower.
The spirit that was still in a daze gradually regained consciousness.
After changing into a set of tighter casual clothes, Ka Xiu sat in the living room and listened to music for a while. Then he stood up, the spinning record stopped, and silence returned to the surroundings.
He took a sip of black tea to calm his nerves.
To be honest, after spending several years in the flashback era, he had even forgotten some things in the real world. Now I need to recall it carefully and organize my subsequent thoughts in detail.
For this purpose, Ka Xiu prepared pen and paper.
He meditated for a moment and began to scribble in his notebook.
First, he joined the "A" organization of Spades a few days ago in the real world, and became the "J" of Diamonds, the fourth in command of the assassination department. And at the welcome ceremony, the assassination department proposed to retaliate against the Sand Dust Organization and destroy the other party's antiquities transportation routes. The antique transfer warehouse is in the north of Heisha City, and the specific location is unknown. As soon as the detailed information comes out, the assassination department will send Violet to inform them to take action.
Secondly, in the past few days, I have come into contact with the Demonic Shadow and the Shadowless Man organization. Yesterday in the real world, a claw-level demonic shadow was sold to the Shadowless Man organization. By the way, there seems to be a red-eyed demonic shadow still locked up in the basement.
It is not yet clear what the possible subsequent actions of the demonic shadow will be, and the Shadowless Man organization is also under observation, both of which are unknown.
Third, when I returned last time, I robbed the Sand Dust Organization of a batch of antiques of unknown origin. Among them, four obsessive antiques seemed to come from the same place. This needs to be explored.
Fourth, if I remember correctly, I just saved Matthew not long ago. Matthew's father, Jason, controls Konnan Company, a powerful beverage company.
Jason's youngest son Finn is considered his disciple.
Fifth, and the most important point here.
The current time is two o'clock in the afternoon on July 11, 156th year of the Hongli Federation calendar, and the last time back was July 3. In other words, there are still more than fifty days until the next demonic shadow appears.
Safety……
Ka Xiu was afraid that his sense of time would be confused and he would forget the time when the demonic shadow appeared and would have to fight to the death with the demonic shadow.
That's not worth it.
What Mo Ying lost was just a small life, but what Ka Xiu lost was the sense of honor of a 100% successful "bug"!
Thinking of this, he pinched the bridge of his nose subconsciously.
A black streak on his arm suddenly attracted Ka Xiu's attention.
"Um?"
Don't worry, brothers, there's still one more chapter! wait for me!
