Divine Weapon

In the dilapidated palace, as the Black Giant Ape stepped into the range of the array core, a sense of coolness came over it.

The gathered energy entered the Black Giant Ape's body through its pores, permeating its muscles and bones, and a faint feeling of strengthening gradually spread throughout its body.

No wonder that Black Armor Ferocious Beast was entrenched here. A realization dawned in the Black Giant Ape's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by regret.

Because the speed at which this node converted energy was very slow, unless it stayed here and continuously absorbed it, it wouldn't have much effect on the current Black Giant Ape.

Of course, this place wasn't useless; it could serve as a long-term energy collection point.

Next, the Giant Ape circled the building, front and back, but found nothing, so it prepared to leave.

It had spent too much time eating the Black Armor Ferocious Beast earlier, and the surrounding creatures in this area had been killed off. It might not be able to find a new target in the remaining time.

For safety's sake, it would come back 'tonight,' when it would have plenty of time and wouldn't be prone to accidents due to impatience.

Jiang Hou came back a little earlier today, before five o'clock, and slept for two hours.

When Jiang Hou arrived at school and sat down, Zong Zheng Nanmo, who was engrossed in arranging three ancient coins, looked up. "Jiang Hou, did you go thieving last night? You look listless."

"No, I just haven't been sleeping well lately, a little sleepy." As he spoke, Jiang Hou yawned.

After several consecutive nights of high mental tension, sleeping for only one or two hours, even Jiang Hou, whose physique was improving every day, was finding it hard to bear.

His body was fine, but his mind was a little fatigued.

Just as Jiang Hou was about to doze off, Zong Zheng Nanmo picked up the three ancient coins, put his hands together, muttered something, and then scattered them on the table again.

"What are you divining?" Jiang Hou asked, puzzled. Didn't this guy do his calculations every time he went out?

"Jiang Hou, I've discovered something very important these past two days."

Zong Zheng Nanmo's expression was serious as he whispered, "Starting from that night, I've calculated four times when going out these past few days, with two hits and two misses."

"A fifty percent probability?" Jiang Hou's drowsiness vanished, somewhat astonished.

Divination was similar to prophecy; a fifty percent accuracy rate was terrifying. Winning the lottery once would make you rich.

"But the problem is, the good predictions are inaccurate, and the bad ones are accurate."

Zong Zheng Nanmo wore a bitter face. "For example, the day before yesterday, I was destined for a bloody disaster, and then I got a nosebleed. Yesterday, it said I had a water calamity and should stay away from water sources."

"So I didn't go to the toilet or the sink all day. Who knew I'd get a basin of rice-washing water poured on me when I got back..."

"Today, when I went out, the hexagram showed Xun Above Li Below, wind fueling the fire, indicating great fortune."

"Before you came, I had already calculated for myself more than ten times, and the hexagrams were all the same."

The good isn't working but the bad is… How miserable. Jiang Hou didn't know what to say for a moment and could only offer a word of comfort: "It's okay, today's hexagram sounds good."

"It's not a good thing. I haven't thrown out this kind of supreme hexagram in months. It's clearly a sign of extreme sorrow turning into joy."

"The better the hexagram is today or tomorrow, the more miserable I'll probably be in a couple of days." At this point, Zong Zheng Nanmo was somewhat worried.

"What are you afraid of? They're just small problems. Just pay more attention when the time comes." Jiang Hou didn't pay much attention.

Being splashed with water and getting a nosebleed were minor issues. Even if he encountered them, he would only be a little embarrassed, not like encountering Ferocious Beasts or Pollution Monsters.

That's right. Zong Zheng Nanmo thought for a moment and nodded, then curiously asked, "By the way, Jiang Hou, did your physique strength improve today?"

"Want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Jiang Hou's lips curled up in a smile. This guy used to tease him in various ways when he received love letters. Now it was finally his turn.

"Forget it, never mind. I don't want to hear it." Zong Zheng Nanmo regretted and covered his ears.

While the two were whispering, the math teacher walked in with a textbook... A day passed in the blink of an eye, without any accidents.

As the school bell rang, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo, with their shoulder bags, arrived at activity room 501.

As soon as they entered, the handsome girl sitting by the window, as always, looked over and slowly said, "Your Qi and blood are surging. You've broken through to the Second Order."

"Yeah." Jiang Hou nodded.

"Damn, I knew you'd gotten stronger again, and you even entered the Second Order." Zong Zheng Nanmo's face, which was even prettier than a girl's, was full of pain.

He still couldn't escape being teased.

Immediately, Zong Zheng Nanmo flattered, "But the president is even stronger, seeing Jiang Hou's strength change at a glance. Speaking of which, President, are you so powerful that you happen to have some Energy Crystals, those little things you don't need?"

"I do."

The black-haired girl said lazily, "But I can't just give them to you. That would break the Sky Punishment Special Ops Division's rules. Those without merit cannot gain without labor."

The smile on Zong Zheng Nanmo's face froze.

"Clear rewards and punishments, that's the basic rule of the Sky Punishment Division." After saying that, Jiang Ruochan looked at Jiang Hou and pondered slightly, "Let's see what your current data is."

"Okay." Jiang Hou nodded, pressed the left button, and selected the speaker for voice broadcast.

"Basic physique 12.1, no traces of power circuits in the body, comprehensive realm Early Second Order, combat power 899, Combat Power Ranking 17."

"Second Order, equivalent to more than ten times the physique of an ordinary person, and you still haven't awakened an ability!" Jiang Ruochan's tone revealed a hint of regret, then she pondered.

"But this might be a good thing."

Saying that, Jiang Ruochan looked at Jiang Hou, "Breaking through to the Second Order naturally just a few days after awakening, your 'talent' is good, but the drawbacks are also obvious."

"Relying solely on your pure physical body, you can't even beat a First Order late-stage Pollution Monster. Your strength is at the bottom of your level."

"How about taking a risk? If you succeed, you'll have two eras of inheritance, crushing your peers in strength. If you fail, with me here, you'll only be seriously injured at most."

Jiang Hou pondered, "...President, can you explain in detail what kind of risk it is?"

He wasn't afraid of risks. No matter how dangerous, it couldn't be more dangerous than that Black Armor Ferocious Beast yesterday. Last night, a slight mistake and he would have stayed there, devoured by the Ferocious Beast.

Noticing the calmness in Jiang Hou's eyes, Jiang Ruochan nodded in satisfaction.

If Jiang Hou was afraid of danger and refused, then this club member wouldn't be worth nurturing.

"The Wing City branch recently obtained a damaged Slashing Blade from the Divine Weapon Era, or more accurately, a fragment of a Divine Weapon."

"This Divine Weapon fragment belongs to the Dark Attribute and requires a very high level of physical strength from the fusioner. The exchange points are three thousand."

"However, under normal circumstances, each Awakened can only inherit one era system of power. If you want to fuse two, there will be a violent conflict."

"This conflict is very intense from the beginning. If it cannot be suppressed, it will destroy the Awakened's consciousness, collapse the body, and lose control, turning into a monster."

"So dangerous!" Zong Zheng Nanmo exclaimed in surprise.

"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed very dangerous, but Jiang Hou is different. His physical strength has reached the Second Order, but there are no traces of power inheritance from other eras in his body, so the probability of conflict is very low."

"Of course, this is just my personal reasoning. After all, Jiang Hou has become an Awakened, and the lack of talent may be related to the inheritance of the Behemoth Era."

"The power of that era comes from behemoths, and it's normal for it to be somewhat different from us humans."

"So, dare you try?" Jiang Ruochan looked at Jiang Hou.
