"Spirit Power?"
Jiang Fu was slightly stunned.
It hadn't been there before.
It had suddenly appeared.
It should have appeared only after he multiplied his physique by ten.
At this moment.
Jiang Fu discovered.
After the Spirit Power data field appeared, his energy—or rather, his thoughts—had become much more agile.
Jiang Fu pondered for a moment.
There was nothing related to Spirit Power in the original host's memories.
He had entered a blind spot in his knowledge.
"Should I multiply Spirit Power by ten... Wait!"
The moment this thought arose.
A layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Jiang Fu's forehead.
Earlier.
When Jiang Fu had multiplied his Blood Energy and physique by ten, it had caused different effects on other aspects of his body.
Spirit Power should be related to the brain.
If he rashly multiplied Spirit Power by ten, wouldn't his head explode?
Jiang Fu pondered for a moment.
Then—
"Brain strength multiplied by ten, lasting three days!"
"Brain load capacity multiplied by ten, lasting three days!"
"Spirit Power multiplied by ten, lasting three days!"
As his voice fell.
Jiang Fu watched as, in the attribute panel floating before him,
the Spirit Power Value jumped from 100 to 1,000!
Immediately afterward.
Jiang Fu felt as if
his body had become lighter.
His mind and spirit became exceptionally clear.
It was an indescribable,
inexpressible sensation
that lingered in his heart.
It was as if...
Jiang Fu turned his head.
He looked at the oranges on the bedside table, which the Little Nurse had placed back there.
Then.
One of the oranges floated up.
Following Jiang Fu's thoughts, it drifted toward him bit by bit.
Jiang Fu's eyes widened.
"T-this is the effect of multiplying Spirit Power by ten!?"
When his Spirit Power Value had been 100,
Jiang Fu had merely felt that his mind was much clearer.
He had absolutely been unable to do this.
This meant that 100 Spirit Power was still within the range of an ordinary person.
But after multiplying his Spirit Power by ten, he could actually take things from a distance!
It was just like an invisible hand.
"Then..."
The next moment.
Jiang Fu's mind stirred.
The other nine oranges on the bedside table floated up at the same time.
The ten oranges formed a line.
Following Jiang Fu's thoughts, they moved rapidly through the hospital room.
They turned into streaks of afterimages.
Jiang Fu's eyes glimmered faintly.
A moment later.
Jiang Fu put the oranges back where they had been.
Then his Spirit Power extended outward bit by bit.
His Spirit Power was not obstructed by the walls.
It easily pierced through them.
It extended toward the outside world.
One meter.
Two meters.
Five meters.
...Ten meters.
At last, it stopped at a radius of roughly ten meters.
The range enveloped by Jiang Fu's Spirit Power
was a sphere with a radius of ten meters and a diameter of twenty meters.
Within this spherical range twenty meters across, every scene was clearly reflected in Jiang Fu's mind.
He didn't need his eyes or ears.
Through his Spirit Power, he could sense everything within range.
At this moment.
Within Jiang Fu's perception,
the hospital's doctors and nurses hurried about as if facing a formidable enemy.
They went in and out of a certain hospital room, with it as the focal point.
Jiang Fu had already guessed.
That hospital room was the one where Ge Yanxia was staying.
However.
Ge Yanxia's location was already beyond the range of his Spirit Power.
Thus, Jiang Fu had no idea what her exact condition was now.
"That little bastard Jiang Fu didn't die. He even ate a Mist Ripple Fruit, and his physical condition has already recovered!"
Just then.
A voice lowered to a whisper entered Jiang Fu's Spirit Power.
"Old Wu, what exactly were you doing?"
"That little bastard had a Mist Ripple Fruit on him, and you actually didn't notice!"
"Now that he's eaten the Mist Ripple Fruit, his Blood Energy has recovered. He'll probably be completely healed before long... Tell me, what are we going to do?"
"What did you say? There was no Mist Ripple Fruit? If there was no Mist Ripple Fruit, how did his injuries heal? Could someone really be stupid enough to spend three hundred thousand buying him a Vitality Pill?"
"Kill him again? This is an urban district! You dare kill someone in the urban district, and a Martial Artist at that? Don't drag me into this!"
"That little bastard isn't an idiot. How could he fall for the same trick twice?"
"Hmm? Fine. This time, do it cleanly. Don't leave him with an intact corpse!"
"I'm hanging up."
Jiang Fu's expression instantly darkened.
The owner of this voice
was none other than his cheap uncle, Guo Fangdong.
Under the perception of his Spirit Power,
the Blood Energy within Guo Fangdong's body was immense. He was clearly a Martial Artist as well.
"I thought they had tricked the original host into going out to die."
"I never expected they had tricked him into going out to be killed..."
In an instant.
Jiang Fu understood the whole story.
Guo Fangdong and Ge Yanxia, as a married couple, wanted to reasonably seize the original host's family fortune after his death.
They had to prove to everyone that the original host was already dead.
And a corpse was the best evidence.
Therefore.
After the original host had been set up and killed by Old Wu on the other end of the phone,
they had brought his corpse back and sent it to the hospital morgue.
The matter should have been settled beyond dispute.
But Xu Chi, the Head Teacher, had refused to give up.
He had insisted on trying to save him once more.
And at that moment.
Jiang Fu had crossed over.
With the hospital doing everything it could to treat him, he had finally managed to survive.
And now.
Just as Jiang Fu had suspected earlier,
as long as he was still alive,
Guo Fangdong and Ge Yanxia absolutely would not let the matter rest.
That Old Wu was someone Guo Fangdong had found to deal with him.
Jiang Fu didn't know what Old Wu on the other end of the phone had said to Guo Fangdong.
But one thing was certain: the man was definitely no good.
Jiang Fu carefully recalled the original host's memories from before his death.
...Nothing.
He had no idea how he had died.
He hadn't even seen that so-called Old Wu.
"Ge Yanxia, Guo Fangdong, and that Old Wu... They're all absolute threats."
"I have to kill them first!"
Jiang Fu locked onto Guo Fangdong with his Spirit Power.
"Multiply blood pressure, blood lipids, and Blood Sugar by ten!"
After a pause.
He hesitated before saying, "Multiply Bad Luck by ten!"
Jiang Fu didn't know
whether something as intangible and ethereal as Bad Luck could actually be multiplied by ten.
If it really could be multiplied by ten,
then he would multiply his own Good Luck by ten.
Guo Fangdong, who was almost about to leave the range of Jiang Fu's Spirit Power,
suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His entire body pitched forward and he fell flat on his face.
Then.
His eyes instantly became bloodshot.
Streams of crimson blood gushed from his nostrils one after another.
"What's going on?!"
Guo Fangdong was horrified.
He hadn't fainted on the spot like Ge Yanxia.
Clearly, Guo Fangdong was stronger than Ge Yanxia.
But even so.
Guo Fangdong still felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.
An intense wave of nausea filled his chest.
Guo Fangdong tried to shout.
But his throat seemed to be blocked by something.
He couldn't make a sound.
Jiang Fu withdrew his Spirit Power.
He paid no further attention to Guo Fangdong.
For now, this was the only way he could keep his two uncles and their wives forcibly confined to the hospital.
That would stop them from causing any more trouble.
As for the standard of medical care in this world...
Whether it could handle a sudden tenfold spike in blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar...
Jiang Fu wasn't sure either.
"Right, if I'm pulling out weeds, I need to get the roots too."
"There's still my dear younger cousin... Guo Xiaofeng!"
"...That can wait. I need to deal with my own situation first."
Jiang Fu had multiplied his Blood Energy, lifespan, physique, brain's capacity to withstand strain, and Spirit Power by ten for three days.
During those three days...
Jiang Fu had to find a way to get a Vitality Pill.
Or a Spiritual Fruit like the Mist Ripple Fruit.
Failing that, he at least had to find something else that could increase his Blood Energy.
Otherwise...
Even if he could keep using Multiply by Ten after those three days...
The gains from Multiply by Ten would diminish.
The greater his baseline, the greater the gains from Multiply by Ten.
And vice versa.
With that in mind...
Jiang Fu walked over to the wardrobe in the ward.
Although this VIP Ward was only the most basic kind...
It still had every amenity it should.
Jiang Fu took out a school uniform that had been washed so often it had faded.
It was his Bincheng Ninth Middle School uniform.
It had already been washed clean.
But a few bloodstains still remained.
He changed out of his hospital gown.
Jiang Fu slowly walked out of the ward.
He used his Spirit Power to take a quick look in Guo Fangdong's direction.
At that moment...
Guo Fangdong lay quietly facedown in the corridor one floor below, completely motionless.
Perhaps because of Bad luck multiplied by ten...
No one had discovered Guo Fangdong lying in the corridor yet.
