Chapter 54 Ability Enhancement and Expansion
Chapter 54 Ability Enhancement and Expansion
After leaving the metaphysics society, Lu Shi did not go home, but came to a vast green path, watching the people taking walks and sensing his own situation.
Lu Shi could vaguely sense a hint of danger.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Lu Shi ignored them and continued strolling along the greenway, his mind sinking more into his metaphysical abilities.
During this time, he could feel strands of cognition surrounding him, gradually merging into the mark of his [Blood Calamity].
Before fighting Zhang Lifeng, Lu Shi mentioned that swords are deadly weapons and bring bloodshed.
Clearly, a routine simulated terror was completed in the process.
Although Zhang Lifeng did not have much fear of death, in simulated horror, fear, while important, is not absolute.
The reason for simulating horror is simply because fear is the oldest and strongest emotion.
However, this does not mean that other emotions cannot support the cognitive imprint of metaphysical rituals.
However, that kind of emotion seems elusive and not as universal as fear.
Zhang Lifeng's death was a self-sacrifice carried out with a resolute emotion.
His belief in passing on his swordsmanship, coupled with the immense terror of life and death, formed the foundation for this mystical ritual.
His sword was completed, and the second core offering for Zhou Jianye's weapon transformation was also absorbed.
Lu Shi's hitchhiking plan was thus completed in this way.
Zhang Lifeng's resolute decision became part of Lu Shi's simulated terror this time.
This cognitive imprint was absorbed by [Blood Calamity] and then integrated into it.
Lu Shi immediately sensed a change in his metaphysical abilities.
The most obvious example is the alienation within it.
This dimension has officially reached level one.
Lu Shi discovered that he could sense danger sources more clearly, and at the same time, his body also underwent some changes.
With a thought, a trace of blood fell onto his body.
Lu Shi then suddenly realized that he himself had become a kind of "danger".
Previously, Lu Shi needed to repeatedly bestow and remove the blood light on himself in order to utilize the gravitational pull between the blood light entity and the source of danger.
But now there's no need for that. All you need to do is add a touch of blood to yourself from the start, and then you can freely pull yourself and other sources of danger away from Lu Shi.
While it may seem like only the action of repeatedly manipulating the blood-red aura on his body has been removed, Lu Shi's agility has actually increased significantly.
Furthermore, because he himself can also act as a 'source of danger,' the ability to enhance dangerous objects can also be applied to him.
Under this enhancement, his strength and resilience will be improved when he makes a 'fatal' move against others.
Furthermore, if necessary, Lu Shi can control his own position to change direction, rather than necessarily moving by exerting force through his own muscles.
"As expected, with each level of dimension improvement, strength can increase significantly." At this moment, apart from the misalignment and atmosphere, the other four dimensions of Lu Shi's [Blood Calamity] have all reached level one.
"And... the underlying logic of the ability seems to have expanded a bit as well." Lu Shi frowned and carefully sensed it, noticing a subtle change.
Perhaps because Zhang Lifeng was involved in other simulated horrors, a trace of the weapon's unusual movement was eventually mixed in.
If Lu Shi uses the power of the Bloodshed to control the weapons, he will receive a slight boost.
"This is not surprising, as the origin of bloodshed is related to war and calamities."
In Chapter 61 of *Water Margin*, Wu Yong says: "Master, your life is sealed; within a hundred days, you will surely suffer a bloody disaster! You will not be able to preserve your family fortune and will die by the sword."
There is a certain connection between the two.
This connection gave Lu Shi some ideas.
He has never stopped studying metaphysics during this period.
Generally speaking, a person will not possess two kinds of metaphysical abilities.
The marks of metaphysical abilities are generally located about a fist's width outside the center of the forehead.
Two different types of metaphysical imprints can clash.
The most direct result is that capabilities are constantly stimulated under conflict, the degree of erosion increases sharply, and then it attracts real-world attention.
However, this does not mean that there are no dual-ability users.
The Metaphysics Society has recorded related cases, and some individuals have, by chance, condensed dual metaphysical abilities.
The key point lies in the correlation between metaphysical abilities.
For example, in one case, he had two mystical abilities: one was "a stray dog" and the other was "lost orphan".
This stems from the other person's unique experience: being abducted as a child, leading a life of constant wandering and never finding their way home, which led to the formation of their first ability after awakening their spiritual awareness.
After he grew up and started his own family, his child was abducted.
The two fears, though originating from the same source, point to different fears, which led him to develop a second metaphysical ability.
At this moment, Lu Shi couldn't help but think of his ability to bring bloodshed.
This ability is useful, but it is too dependent on the environment.
If the scope of control over the "Bloodshed Disaster" can be expanded further, no longer limited to the source of danger, then the practicality of the entire ability will increase once again.
Gradually, I began to form plans for the future.
Lu Shi also walked along the greenway to a relatively secluded place.
People who take a walk usually don't come this far.
There is a small bamboo grove in this place, and in the distance there is a pond. Several unidentified small birds are perched on the power lines connected by utility poles.
A small path runs alongside the greenway, and at the end of the path, a pavilion can be vaguely seen.
There was a fence in the bamboo grove, surrounded by black gauze, and the sound of chickens could be heard coming from inside.
They must be raised here by villagers from nearby villages.
A little further on, there stands a large banyan tree.
The trunks of the banyan tree are not very tall; an adult could even climb them by standing next to it.
It was covered with red prayer ribbons.
Lu Shi's gaze fell on the path.
There, the ever-present, lurking danger became clear.
It was this slight danger that made Lu Shi certain that Zhou Jianye had his eye on him and had been monitoring him through some means.
At this moment, the other side was already prepared to sacrifice Lu Shi as a sacrifice.
It was at this moment that Lu Shi suddenly realized that this place seemed somewhat familiar.
"Gao Mi's video was filmed here, right?" Lu Shi suddenly realized.
It was at this moment that Lu Shi smelled a faint scent of blood.
At the same time, I heard some metallic clanging sounds, and the next moment a rain of swords descended.
Compared to Zhang Lifeng, Zhou Jianye had absolutely no martial virtue.
He had only one goal: to instill fear in Lu Shi, and then, under extreme fear, kill him!
