Evil-warding Golden Light

People are inherently like Lord Ye who loved dragons; everyone online talks about 'little tigers,' but when a real tiger comes near you, you'll probably be too scared to move.

Zhang Chen was the same. When he didn't see any monsters, he always envied the day a fox spirit would come to drain him dry. But when a fox spirit actually appeared in the real world, everything changed. You'd find that at this moment, your heart was filled only with fear.

Looking at the golden finger, Zhang Chen swallowed nervously, his gaze fixed on the panel:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill: Some Mysterious Golden Light (0/50)]

[Points: 140]

"Upgrade!"

Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. The next moment, Zhang Chen's points evaporated directly, and then the entire golden finger panel refreshed again:

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill (Tier 1): Evil-warding Golden Light (0/500)]

[Points: 90]

Zhang Chen only felt a warmth in his Dantian, and then the next moment, immeasurable golden light burst forth within his spiritual world. His entire spiritual world seemed to be filled with that dazzling golden light.

That golden light was vast and mighty like the scorching sun, capable of sweeping away all evil intentions and warding off all disasters. Where the golden light passed, ill omens retreated.

"And then?" Zhang Chen's vision gradually returned to normal. He stared blankly at his body, which seemed to have undergone no changes. Only the wisp of breath in his Dantian had become more dense and solid, and his breathing was more prolonged.

That was all!

"Is that it?" Zhang Chen stood blankly in the room, feeling a bit lost for a moment. He didn't know what this Evil-warding Golden Light was for. He seemed to have gained a skill, but it also seemed useless.

He only felt as if golden light was flowing through every pore of his body. That golden light illuminated his body. Zhang Chen even closed his eyes, and in a trance, he seemed to see his internal organs, his beating heart. But soon, a black mist emerged from his body, obscuring his internal organs and countless meridians. Only a wisp of golden light flickered in his Dantian, illuminating the immediate vicinity and dispelling the mist within.

"What is this?" Zhang Chen opened his eyes, a look of surprise and uncertainty in them. He felt that he had indeed seen a large area of mist within his body, and it was not an illusion.

"What is this Evil-warding Golden Light for?" Thoughts flickered in Zhang Chen's mind, and then his gaze fell on the 'Tier 1' after the golden finger: "My Evil-warding Golden Light is currently a Tier 1 skill. The points needed to upgrade to the next tier are five hundred. If I have enough points to stack up, can I upgrade infinitely? Let's upgrade the Evil-warding Golden Light to ten thousand tiers first."

Zhang Chen couldn't see the mist in his body and didn't know why this change occurred, but he had a hunch that if the golden light dispelled the mist and illuminated his entire body, he would definitely undergo incredible changes.

"It's just that to upgrade to the next level, I need five hundred points. This is not a small amount." Zhang Chen looked at the Evil-warding Golden Light, whose use was unknown, and hesitated. He was considering whether to focus on collecting experience points in the future, then find a reliable skill, and then add the points to it, instead of adding them to the Evil-warding Golden Light, whose use was unknown. But thinking of the threat of the fox spirit, he had waited for so long and only gained one skill. He felt that he shouldn't wait any longer. This Evil-warding Golden Light, as a Tier 1 skill, must have its use; he just hadn't developed it yet.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen picked up the basket, animal traps, and ropes on the ground, and then walked towards the mountain with a heavy heart. His three meals for the day were still unsettled.

In fact, when Zhang Chen first awakened the golden finger, he also tried to evolve his trap-making skills, firewood-chopping skills, etc., into skills. Unfortunately, Zhang Chen thought too much; there were no skill prompts at all.

In his previous life, Zhang Chen was a loyal fan of "Man vs. Wild" and learned countless methods of making traps. In this world with abundant resources, Zhang Chen could be said to have meat for every meal. If it weren't for the exploitation of the fox spirit next door, he, Zhang Chen, would have already become well-off. The main reason was that Zhang Chen's trap-making skills were much higher than those in this world, so his traps basically never failed.

Today, the prey in the mountain was still abundant. Zhang Chen caught two pheasants, and most importantly, he caught a wild rabbit that the fox liked to eat the most.

"In a few days, after I deal with that fox spirit, I can try to make gunpowder and use it to blast some large animals. Then I can also turn over a new leaf and sing." Zhang Chen was in a good mood. He roasted the pheasant directly in the mountain, then happily ate until his belly was full. He looked at the pheasant and the rabbit, hesitated for a moment, plucked and roasted the rabbit, carefully hid it in his arms for dinner, and then carried a pheasant home.

He knew that this pheasant wouldn't be kept; that damned fox spirit wouldn't leave it for him at all, so he didn't bother to pluck and process it.

"I just hope this fox spirit has a little bit of integrity and leaves the wild rabbit for me! Of course, the most important thing is that this wild rabbit is not discovered by the fox spirit!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, carefully wrapping the wild rabbit with banana leaves, and then wrapping it with mud to seal the smell. He also carefully used fire to dry the mud.

"Perfect finish!" Zhang Chen examined it for a while, felt that his wild rabbit was well-sealed, and even the smell was sealed off, so the fox spirit would definitely not smell it, before stuffing the wild rabbit into his clothes.

Fortunately, the clothes in this world were loose, so putting a roasted rabbit inside didn't look abnormal.

When Zhang Chen leisurely returned home, it was already noon. Hearing the sound of Zhang Chen opening the door, the window next door suddenly opened, and a fluffy white head popped out. At this moment, it was looking at Zhang Chen expectantly, especially when it saw that Zhang Chen had actually brought back a pheasant. The fox's eyes lit up, and its mouth was watering.

Zhang Chen expressionlessly swept over the courtyard next door, especially when he saw the eagerly anticipating fox spirit. He was so angry that his liver hurt. This fox spirit was simply too infuriating!

It was simply blatant, bullying him, Zhang Chen, for being an honest person!

How could he, Zhang Chen, endure such a great humiliation?

"Too much bullying!" Zhang Chen gritted his teeth with hatred, but he still walked into the house without changing his expression, hanging the pheasant on the rack. This time, Zhang Chen deliberately wrapped the rope seven or eight times, firmly tying the pheasant to the rack, and then sat aside calmly, quietly looking at the pheasant, waiting for the experience points to drop.

Not every time the fox spirit stole something would experience points drop. Zhang Chen had not yet found the pattern of experience point drops, otherwise he wouldn't have only collected forty experience points in three months.

However, just as Zhang Chen was waiting patiently, this time Zhang Chen discovered something unusual.

At a certain moment when he was dozing off, his pupils suddenly flowed with light, and that warm current instantly woke Zhang Chen up. Then Zhang Chen subconsciously raised his head, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink. A look of horror appeared on his face, which he quickly concealed.

What did he see?

He saw a young woman in white, with fair skin and a beautiful face, who was now passing through the wall with a cunning and mischievous smile, heading straight for Zhang Chen's pheasant.

The most crucial thing was that the young woman's figure was ethereal, like a lonely ghost in a novel.

"I actually saw the process of the fox spirit making a move?" Zhang Chen was startled. He saw the young woman standing in front of the pheasant, a satisfied smile on her face. Just as she was about to reach out to grab the pheasant, she suddenly turned her head to look at Zhang Chen. Meeting Zhang Chen's gaze, the young woman was startled and couldn't help but jump back two steps, like a thief discovered by the owner. She muttered, "This kid can see me? No way? It shouldn't be?"

At this moment, Zhang Chen's heart was pounding in his throat. He quickly relaxed his mind, pretending not to see the young woman, and stared at the pheasant behind the young woman. He gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "I want to see how my pheasant disappears."

The young woman was still a little uneasy. She walked around Zhang Chen several times. Seeing that Zhang Chen was still concentrating on the pheasant and had not discovered her whereabouts, she finally relaxed and was about to reach out and take the pheasant away.

But who knew that the young woman's nose suddenly twitched, as if she smelled something. Then the young woman, while twitching her nose, sniffed her way to Zhang Chen's front, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chen's chest. At this moment, she cursed, "Good kid, you're as cunning as a ghost. Now you've learned to hide your abilities. You clearly hunted a rabbit, but instead of showing filial respect to your grandmother, you dare to hide it privately. You're really a bad child."

At this moment, Zhang Chen's eyeballs dared not move. His eyes were fixed on the pheasant in the distance. Facing the fox spirit who was close at hand, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: Damn it, this fox spirit is simply too cunning, isn't she? She can even discover this! My wild rabbit is probably gone, and I'll have to go hungry tonight.

Also, what form is this fox in now? Is it soul leaving the body? Zhang Chen was secretly curious.

"Give it to your grandmother!" The fox spirit looked at Zhang Chen's chest and unceremoniously extended her fair and tender little hand, reaching directly into Zhang Chen's clothes.

Buzz~

Just as the fox spirit's slender fingers touched Zhang Chen's clothes, suddenly, accompanied by Zhang Chen's breathing, an invisible layer of golden light burst forth from the pores all over his body. The fox spirit screamed after touching the golden light and was actually beaten back to its original form, transforming from a beautiful young woman into a thumb-sized ethereal fox, which stumbled back into the room next door in a panic.

"Ah~"

A painful cry from a fox came from the room next door, startling Zhang Chen speechless, as if he was stunned by the sudden change before his eyes.

"What's going on? My Evil-warding Golden Light can restrain fox spirits?" Zhang Chen sat there dumbfounded, looking at the golden light shooting out from his skin, his eyes filled with shock. The disdain and contempt he had for the golden finger earlier had all turned into ecstasy at this moment: "Incredible! Simply incredible! My golden light can actually restrain fox spirits?"

Zhang Chen felt like he was capable! He was very capable now!

Especially when Zhang Chen saw the bead that had fallen to the ground, his eyes were even more filled with surprise: Experience +50.

"It's actually fifty experience points, which has never happened before. Could it be that I'm lucky today?" Zhang Chen's heart was filled with continuous ecstasy.

[Name: Zhang Chen]

[Skill (First Order): Evil-warding Golden Light (0/500)]

[Points: 140]

"Could it be that the golden light injured the fox spirit, so more experience points were dropped?" Zhang Chen was not a fool. Looking at the increased experience points, he had a guess in his heart.

Just as countless thoughts flashed through his mind, a beautiful girl suddenly rushed out from the wall again. At this moment, the beautiful girl was aggressive, pouting with a wronged expression, her eyes welling up with tears, as if Zhang Chen was a heinous villain who had done something bad.

Zhang Chen was nervous at this moment, but he pretended to be calm, as if he didn't see the girl. He just stared at his own wild chicken, but his heart was in a panic: "This fox spirit isn't going to get angry and try to kill me, is she? Should I make the first move? But how should I make a move? Should I just pounce on her with my body full of golden light? I see that the girl is agile and ignores physical obstacles, I'm afraid I won't be able to pounce on her!"

The girl looked at the golden light flowing around Zhang Chen's body, her eyes filled with greed and confusion, but facing Zhang Chen's golden light, she hesitated to step forward and could only curse: "Damn guy, what the hell is this thing? It actually hurt my soul? Did this guy encounter some strange object and gain enlightenment?"

The fox spirit circled Zhang Chen angrily, finally picked up a nearby water scoop, and threw it at Zhang Chen's head from a distance, hitting Zhang Chen with an 'ouch'. His forehead immediately became red and swollen. The golden light couldn't defend against physical attacks, and his forehead immediately swelled up:

"Damn guy, still pretending not to know who stole the chicken. I've seen you peeking through the crack in the wall every time I come out of my soul to move things. I was just playing with you on purpose and pretending not to know. Hypocritical man, bad man! Damn bad man, you only know how to bully Nannan, see if Nannan doesn't beat you to death!"

The girl was aggressive and cursing, clearly genuinely angry. She picked up a spoon from the side and threw it again. This time, Zhang Chen didn't dodge again, and his eye was hit black and blue.

Seeing that the girl was about to hit him again, Zhang Chen couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, he would be smashed to death by the fox spirit sooner or later. So he pretended to be in pain and rolled around in the room, rolling towards the girl, scaring the girl pale. Fearing the golden light on Zhang Chen's body, she could only leave resentfully with the wild chicken.

After the fox spirit left, Zhang Chen stopped rolling in the room, then looked at the disappeared wild chicken, showing a thoughtful expression: "It seems that my peeking actions were discovered by the fox spirit long ago. This fox spirit was pretending not to know, purely playing with me! My golden light seems to be able to restrain and attack the fox spirit at the soul level, but it cannot defend against physical force."

"Before, I thought the fox spirit was using the transportation method, but now it seems I misunderstood. The other party is actually coming out of her soul." Zhang Chen was secretly surprised: "Why come out of her soul instead of using demon techniques?"
