Chapter 88 Hunter? Fishing!
The hazy mental entity, like an endless mist, merged with the star-like, dazzling astral entity.
At the boundary between the two, the secret text representing the Etheric Source Covenant lit up completely!
Each cryptic inscription is like a dazzling star, shimmering with a cross-shaped radiance.
Against the backdrop of the star-like Protoss entities and the truly vast Protoss realm, it gives one an epic and magnificent feeling.
Suddenly, the cryptic texts dimmed, but strands of light shot out, intertwined, and converged—
It has been transformed into a piece of writing!
Xia Fa was quite surprised, but his mind immediately focused on the text.
【Etheric Source Pact - Primal Technique: Holy Spirit Crystal】
[By highly condensing and concentrating the power of the seven elements, one can form a Holy Spirit Crystal.]
The Holy Spirit Crystal possesses both the hardness of alchemy and the properties of high temperature resistance, freezing resistance, and weight resistance.
Thanks to the wind element, it is easy to manipulate, and once detonated, it can achieve maximum destructive effect.
"this--"
Xia Fafang never expected that after thoroughly understanding the advanced secret manual, the Ether Source, she would gain an additional ability!
"Original secret technique?"
"Is it something that can be obtained as long as the secret contract is fully understood, or something else? Chestnut and the others don't seem to have mentioned it. Xia Fa decided to check the relevant occult books later."
As for this original secret technique called "Holy Spirit Crystal"—well, I'll try it next time I encounter something strange or hunt supernatural creatures.
It looks very powerful just from the description.
Suddenly, all the words disappeared, transforming back into rays of light that flowed into my mind.
Xia Fa immediately felt that he had completely mastered the use of the "Holy Spirit Crystal" technique.
It can be performed as long as there is a thought in one's mind.
Moreover, he also obtained some hidden information.
That is, once I become a demigod and can condense the seven elemental powers of the Ether Source into Ether Power, the Holy Spirit Crystal can also be upgraded to the Ether Holy Spirit Crystal, which will have even greater destructive power!
Xia Fa was quite happy to receive such a pleasant surprise, but then he felt waves of mental fatigue wash over him, and he immediately opened his eyes and returned to reality.
He could feel that there was still a large amount of extraordinary power throughout his body, waiting for him to slowly absorb and digest it.
The extraordinary power given by the bee eggs was so great that even after using it to understand the Etheric Source Contract, about 50% was still left.
The body aches were more intense than before, seemingly because the intense burning sensation generated during exercise was attacking the bee eggs.
But seeing the bee eggs completely melt and shatter, while he himself was unharmed, Xia Fa couldn't help but ponder.
He came up with a great idea for fishing.
"If the Chief of Ten Thousand Poisons still won't let me go, wouldn't that mean..."
As he pondered, a slight light appeared in his dark, charcoal-like eyes.
If only Veronica, the Queen of Ten Thousand Poisons, could implant bee eggs in him again, even just once.
Doesn't this also mean that I can use the same method to dissolve the bee eggs and understand the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret agreement that I am about to sign?
That's a top-tier secret contract! The benefits of understanding it and improving the progress will definitely far exceed those of the Ether Source, which is a high-level secret contract!
Thinking of the supreme-level secret contract silver throne still hidden in his arms, Xia Fa finally felt a little relieved, which had been weighing on his mind for the past two days.
Of course, he couldn't possibly sign the Silver Throne, this supreme-level secret agreement, right there in his office; he planned to sign it as soon as he got back.
After signing the agreement, he went to the Extraordinary Market. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the Silver Throne being stolen or robbed. Moreover, having become an Insect-level Superhuman, he had also signed a Overlord-level secret agreement, which further reduced the chances of him being attacked in the Extraordinary Market.
Even without using that burning sensation, he probably wouldn't be a match for an ordinary Eagle-level superhuman, let alone a Wolf-level superhuman.
Perhaps only an Elephant-level superhuman could pose any threat to him.
If he were to use the burning sensation, coupled with the secret release state of the Zhanmadao, Xia Fa felt that he could probably directly cleave the King of the Giant Jaw Beasts!
If it weren't for the fact that demigods represent an elevation in status, and humanity's beginning to approach the concept of "gods," then indeed, they would be no match for them.
Gathering his scattered thoughts, he calmed down and had already formulated a plan.
I'll look through the case files later and use that time to recover my tired mental energy.
Then, once his mental strength had recovered sufficiently, he left the church, went home, and began signing the Silver Throne!
Meanwhile, he should spend more time outside and less time in the church these days, giving Patriarch Veronica the opportunity to plant bee eggs in him again.
Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.
Xia Fa was too weak to open the door, so he could only speak politely:
"Please come in."
The doorknob was turned from the outside, and a somewhat inexperienced clergyman walked in. His eyes, hidden beneath his black curly hair, were a little timid as he gently placed the scroll on the desk.
"Xia, Xia Fa, this is the file you requested, the dossier."
Xia Fa knew that this was the clergyman who had signed the Wind Pact, but he did not know his name.
However, he seemed to know himself, and even seemed a little afraid of himself.
"Thank you for your trouble, okay?"
"My name is Hervery."
"Thank you for your help, um, Hervery."
"No, you're welcome."
Heffery responded with a bowed head, looking rather apprehensive, but with a hint of joy in his eyes.
He turned and went out, gently closing the door behind him.
Shafa remembered his name: Heffery.
Heffer is also a fungal-level superhuman. It seems that he joined the Silver Church two or three years earlier than him and became a clergyman of the St. Vivian Church, but he is still a fungal-level superhuman.
It is evident that for ordinary superhumans to fully comprehend the contents of a secret contract, even a simple one, is quite challenging.
Without much thought, Xia Fa opened the file and began to read it.
The first file he opened was the one concerning Smith's criminal record.
On July 16th, 597th year of the Thermidorian calendar in the Kingdom of Augu, Smith was arrested for engaging in a street brawl. Facing an attack by eleven people, he injured two of them while sustaining minor injuries. He then fled alone and was sentenced to one year and one month in prison.
On February 16th, in the Thermidorian calendar year 598 of the Kingdom of Augu, Smith was released from prison.
On September 13th, 598th year of the Thermospheric Calendar in the Kingdom of Augustus, Smith was arrested for robbing a store in the lower city of Augustus. Because the owner turned out to be a superhuman who had signed a secret contract with the controller, he was immediately subdued and sentenced to five months in prison.
On February 7th, in the Thermidorian calendar year 599 of the Kingdom of Augu, Smith was released from prison.
On January 3, 602 of the Thermidorian calendar in the Kingdom of Augu, Smith was accused of unauthorized possession of a firearm. He was released after the firearm was not found and was compensated with 50 gold coins.
On March 3rd, in the year 602 of the Thermochromatic calendar of the Kingdom of Augu, a report was received from the clergy of the Silver Church that Smith had gone missing. After carefully reading the report, Xia Fa fell into deep thought.
At first glance, Smith did indeed appear to be just an ordinary street thug, as Chestnut and his team had investigated, except that he was slightly better at fighting.
They were either fighting, robbing shops, or illegally possessing firearms.
In particular, the shop robbery also targeted a superhuman.
However, precisely because his past is so simple, it's difficult to discover anything about him.
"what?"
Suddenly, Xia Fa noticed a detailed record of Smith's crimes and a psychological analysis on another of Smith's criminal files.
September 15th, 598 in the Thermidorian calendar of the Kingdom of Augu, five years ago, was the day after Smith was arrested and imprisoned for robbing a shop.
In prison, the superintendents questioned him.
The questioning was simple, mainly asking Smith why he robbed the store, and why he specifically robbed candy instead of money.
Smith remained silent and refused to comment.
Fearing there might be some conspiracy, the superintendents went to various places to inquire about the petty thugs who knew Smith.
Ultimately, a petty thug, tempted by the gold pound, betrayed Smith, saying that Smith, after being released from prison on August 16th, 598 in the Thermidorian calendar of Augusta, was weak due to a criminal record and malnutrition in prison.
For a long time, I couldn't earn a single penny.
Then one day, he collapsed on the street and was apparently saved by a little girl.
I heard that September 13th was the little girl's birthday. Because he had no money, Smith impulsively decided to rob a store in order to steal some candy for the little girl as a birthday present.
As soon as Xia Fa finished reading it, it felt like a thunderbolt had struck his mind.
Wait, little girl!
He suddenly thought of something.
It was the figure of a madwoman with red hair, who always seemed to be holding a daughter who had never been born but had disappeared.
