New Form

Around two thirty, Jiang Hou went out.

However, he didn't go directly to school. Halfway there, he turned onto another street, the meeting point he had agreed upon with Zong Zheng Nanmo.

As he approached, Jiang Hou saw Zong Zheng Nanmo squatting by the roadside, looking across the street.

It was crowded with people. Five White Cars slowly drove out of the crowd. Someone in the car scattered handfuls of paper money, and more than a dozen elderly people and children cried loudly.

Instantly, a strong sense of sorrow permeated the air, moving everyone around.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hou came up behind Zong Zheng Nanmo.

Zong Zheng Nanmo sighed, "They died last night. Five people had dinner and drinks but didn't return home. Their bodies were found in an alley this morning."

"The bodies were incomplete, gnawed on by something like wild dogs, a gruesome sight."

"Wild dogs?" Jiang Hou raised an eyebrow. What kind of wild dogs could kill people?

Zong Zheng Nanmo shook his head, "That's the forensic doctor's assessment."

Jiang Hou nodded, understanding his meaning, and then said faintly, "Let's go, don't look at this stuff. It's useless except to make yourself feel bad."

"Yeah, let's not look." Zong Zheng Nanmo nodded and stood up.

Of course, that's what they said, but both of them were still somewhat affected.

A few days ago, they had only 'heard' about how many people had died there, without any concrete feeling. The feeling of seeing it with their own eyes was different.

At the same time, the deaths of these people made Jiang Hou somewhat vigilant, because it wasn't far from his home...!!

In silence, the two walked into the school, all the way to the activity room on the fifth floor. Pushing open the door, they saw the handsome girl with Long Black Hair sitting by the window.

Today, Jiang Ruochan was wearing her usual black windbreaker, with a white T-shirt and black trousers underneath. Her almost perfect profile shone brightly in the sunlight.

On the table was a Black Box half a meter long, wrapped with two circles of talisman-like strips of paper, exuding an air of mystery.

Jiang Hou glanced at his watch and was surprised to find that it was only two fifty-two. "President, didn't we say to meet at three? You're here so early."

In Jiang Hou's 'understanding', the boss usually appears last, but Jiang Ruochan, the president, was different. She always arrived earlier than them for social activities, and today was no exception.

"I had nothing to do anyway, so I came to read a book."

Saying that, Jiang Ruochan closed the book in her hand, looked at Jiang Hou, and was slightly silent, "The Qi and blood emanating from you is much stronger than yesterday."

"Yeah, I got a little stronger today."

Jiang Hou could only nod at this question, continuing to play dumb. He certainly couldn't say that he couldn't sleep last night and ran to the Ruins to eat six Ferocious Beasts.

Zong Zheng Nanmo sighed, "Okay, since the president asked, I won't hold it in. Jiang Hou, how much has your strength improved this time?"

Earlier, Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little curious and wanted to ask Jiang Hou if his strength had changed today, but in the end, he held back, not wanting to be annoyed by him.

Who knew he still couldn't avoid it this time.

Jiang Hou said modestly, "It's okay, when I got up today, my physique only increased from 12.1 to 18.4, mid Second Order, ranking battle power 1480."

The Smart Watch measures the overall physique strength, so the data is different from the attribute page, lower than strength, higher than agility.

But even so, Zong Zheng Nanmo's eyes widened.

He was still stagnating at the late stage of First Order, his energy value hadn't increased at all in two or three days, but Jiang Hou reached the mid-stage of Second Order just by sleeping and eating every day!

Was there any justice in this world?

At this moment, Jiang Hou added, "However, I have a feeling that the speed of my physique growth may become increasingly 'slow' next."

After Fourth Order, the Black Armor Giant Ape would have a greater demand for energy, and at the same time, the 'gap' between it and the human form would widen, which was why Jiang Hou said this.

However, this slowness was only relatively slow, not as fast as advancing a small realm every day before.

Of course, the exaggeration of the previous few days was also because First Order and Second Order were too weak, with little difference, and a change in realm would occur with a several-fold increase in physique.

Once he reached Third Order and Fourth Order later, the span in between would widen, and it wouldn't be so exaggerated.

But Jiang Hou's words sounded different to Zong Zheng Nanmo and Jiang Ruochan. The Long Black Hair girl pondered, "Is the energy of the pollution source about to run out?"

"...That's it?"

Zong Zheng Nanmo's expression was a bit complicated, feeling a little sorry for Jiang Hou, and also a little relieved, relieved that he didn't have to be nourished.

Jiang Ruochan said indifferently, "The energy of the pollution source will always run out one day, there's no need to feel sorry. The only thing we transcendents can rely on is the power we master ourselves."

"The president is right." Jiang Hou nodded, with no trace of regret on his face, which Jiang Ruochan appreciated.

Being able to pick it up and put it down, something many adults couldn't do.

"The Divine Weapon is inside this." As she spoke, Jiang Ruochan's hand landed on two pieces of paper resembling runes, and several bolts of lightning exploded instantly.

Ignoring the few bolts of lightning that weren't weak, Jiang Ruochan opened the box, and a Broken Blade appeared before the two.

The hilt was about thirty centimeters long, dark gray in color, and the guard was like the head of a black demon, ferocious and hideous. The black blade extended from the demon's mouth, but was only twenty centimeters long.

On the surface, this Broken Blade was very ordinary. If it were dropped on the roadside, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo wouldn't even give it a second glance.

"Divine Weapon fusion is very simple. Hold it tightly, call out to it in your heart, and it will respond to you. Go ahead."

"Okay." Jiang Hou nodded and stepped forward without hesitation.

Jiang Ruochan took a few steps back, making room, and Zong Zheng Nanmo followed suit.

Under their gaze, Jiang Hou grasped the hilt and slowly picked up the Broken Blade.

Then, before Jiang Hou could call out to the Divine Weapon in his heart according to the fusion steps, the Broken Blade began to vibrate and hum, and the eyes of the demon head on the guard emitted black and white light.

The black and white light was like silk ribbons, spreading along Jiang Hou's palm, very quickly, almost covering his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Boom! A powerful repulsion erupted instantly, compressing the air to form a shockwave that spread out, and a black and white figure appeared in the howling wind.

The lower half of the figure was covered in black, tattered armor, while the upper half was like a mummy wrapped in white cloth strips, including the cheeks, revealing only a pair of eyes.

At the same time, a head of Long Black Hair exploded, the thick black hair cascading down to his waist like a waterfall, intertwined with the dozen or so white ribbons on his arms, shoulders, and body, moving without wind.

In his hand, the originally Broken Blade had also changed. A pair of black demon wings unfolded on both sides of the guard, with bloodpattern flowing on them, exuding an ominous aura.

In place of the remaining twenty centimeters of the blade, a black blade one meter and thirty centimeters long emerged.

The blade was narrow and long, shaped like a Miaodao, and the blade was snow-white and bright, gorgeous and dazzling, full of strong incongruity compared to the ferocious and hideous black guard.

Coupled with Jiang Hou's black and white image at this time, he was like a dark killing god walking out of hell, domineering andferocious.

It's just that the image is very handsome, but Jiang Hou's state is not as relaxed as it looks.

Second update, more to come.
