The Fortunate One Blessed by the World
"Bang—!"
A tangible impact spread out like a storm, rubbing against the air and causing the loud, muffled thuds to echo in the air.
The impact was so real that the wooden floorboards trembled slightly, nearly cracking open and blowing away the surrounding tables and chairs.
However, the person who took the direct hit of that powerful attack was completely unharmed.
Faced with the fiercely descending spiked club, Fang Li simply raised one hand, and in a flash of starlight, blocked the thick club with its sharp barbs.
"Varied...?!"
The old Giant race was immediately taken aback.
"Impossible!"
Felt exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.
"Someone actually caught Old Man Rom's weapon attack with their bare hands? That's impossible!"
One could tell just how powerful the Giant race was from the size and race of the old man named Old Man Rom.
After all, no matter how old he was, the other party was a member of the Giant race, and with his well-trained physique, his attack power and lethality when he was armed were absolutely astonishing.
In fact, Felt had never seen Old Man Rom lose a fight, and he was never at a disadvantage even when facing the guards in the Royal Capital.
However, this old Giant race's all-out attack was caught by his bare hands.
By a human.
"You..." Old Man Rom said with a serious expression, "Did you use any magic?"
At least, Fang Li's hand, which was still raised and receiving the spiked club head-on, was shimmering with starlight.
This situation can only suggest that some kind of magic was used.
Of course, besides magic, Old Man Rom also considered another possibility.
"Could it be that you also have some kind of protection?"
It's not surprising that Old Man Rom would think that way.
In this world, there are some lucky people who possess a special ability from birth.
Some of these abilities are talents, some are effects, and some are enhancements to the holder.
Its wonder far surpasses even that of magic.
These abilities are only possessed by the lucky ones who are favored by the world.
Therefore, people call these abilities protection.
Those blessed with good fortune are exceptionally talented in their respective fields.
For example, Felt possesses the Wind's Blessing.
His own strength was only at the level of an ordinary thief, but with the Wind's Blessing, his speed was extremely amazing.
Even in the previous playthrough, when she encountered that bloodthirsty hunter's attack, Felt managed to escape the initial crisis and earned the hunter's praise.
Even Fang Li suffered a loss at the hands of Felt, who stole Bō Xié from him.
This demonstrates just how miraculous these blessings truly are.
At this moment, Fang Li, an ordinary human, was able to catch a full-force blow from a Giant race old man's spiked club with one hand. If it wasn't magic, then it would naturally make people think of the possibility of protection.
Old Man Rom didn't know was that Fang Li relied not on any blessing, but on his own power.
Figure: Fang Li
Race: Human
Career: Star Pulse Generation
Title: Armed Detective (S-Class)
Level: Fourth Level
STR (Strength): 62 (+40)
VIT (Durability): 54 (+40)
AGI (Agility): 114 (+40)
INT (Mystic): 110 (+20)
This is Fang Li's current attribute.
The 20 Free Attribute Points obtained in the previous world were added to AGI (Agility) and INT (Mysticism) by Fang Li, increasing both AGI (Agility) and INT (Mysticism) by 10 points.
Although it wasn't added to VIT (Durability), Fang Li's current VIT (Durability) is a full 54 points. If it weren't for Main God Envoy specializes in increasing VIT (Durability), this value would be something Fifth Level Main God Envoy wouldn't possess.
In addition, Fang Li's STR (Strength) is also a full 62 points, so in terms of strength alone, he is in no way weaker than the so-called Giant race.
Under such circumstances, and with the use of Star Pulse Energy for defense, it wouldn't be surprising to catch even a powerful spiked club blow barehanded.
"So, I'm sorry, I'm not some lucky one protected by the world. Rather, even if I were, I would only be cursed by the world, not blessed."
Fang Li shrugged and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I've put in a lot of effort to get to where I am today."
After saying that, Fang Li transformed the Star Pulse Energy flowing in his hand into explosive power and gripped the incredibly thick spiked club tightly.
"Bang----!"
With a cracking sound, Fang Li forcefully crushed the spiked club.
Immediately, before Old Man Rom could react, Fang Li took a step forward and gently placed one hand on Old Man Rom's chest.
"Flash Sheath - Flower Mirror".
Suddenly, a terrifying force erupted from Fang Li Li's hand, which was gently placed on Old Man Rom's chest.
"Thump—!"
It was as if a shock exploded inside Old Man Rom's chest, and a violent force crashed through Old Man Rom's body.
"Ugh...!"
Old Man Rom groaned, his eyes bulged, he clutched his chest, and immediately knelt down.
"Old Man Rom!" Felt exclaimed in shock.
"Don't worry," Fang Li said casually. "I deliberately held back and didn't hurt him."
That's the truth.
Since receiving comprehensive and orthodox training from Fan Xinglu, Fang Li's progress in technique has been remarkably rapid. To date, he has integrated the essence of the Assassination Arts he has learned with the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, creating many new moves.
For example, during his battle with Ayato Amagiri, Fang Li comprehended the One Scene Seven Nights during the fierce fight and developed a slash that was even faster than the Seven Nights Technique.
For example, in the battle of the Starry Sky Palace, Fang Li used Moonflower, which could deal with attacks from all directions, and Ten Lives, a wide-range attack that cut the Hidden Sanctuary in half. These were all new moves that Fang Li developed based on the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, taking the Seven Nights Assassination Technique to a higher level.
The "Flower Mirror" move just now was also a technique developed by Fang Li himself, designed to shatter the opponent's internal organs and kill them in one blow.
If Fang Li hadn't deliberately suppressed the power, Old Man Rom would have done far more than just kneel.
At that moment, Fang Li looked at Felt with a malicious smile.
"Can we talk now?"
Upon hearing this, Felt's expression turned sour.
