Chapter 1: The Robe of Despair

"Ahh Lu Chen sat up violently from the broken iron bed in his room! At six o'clock in the morning, it was still dawn, but his body was already drenched in cold sweat and panting violently.

He touched the cross-shaped scar on his forehead, and there was a faint pain.

The broken wall clock on the wall emits "Tick! Tick! There was a crisp sound, and the cold wind slowly poured in through the small cracks in the window.

"Ahh Lu Chen sneezed, and then woke up from the trance just now, he had a nightmare again, dreaming that he had become a zombie ghost, not only eating the brain of a living person, but also the taste actually felt quite good

Thinking of this, he felt the sour water in his stomach churning one after another!

"Little mouse! What time is it? Don't come and help yet! The old lady doesn't have to eat idle food! ”

With a sharp roar coming in through the crack in the door, Lu Chen was stunned again! Then quickly lift the quilt and get up! He gasped, let the cold wind bite, and quickly put on the white robe and light-colored Shifang boots on the wall.

"It's coming!" Lu Chen kept buttoning his clothes as he ran out, the little mouse was his nickname, and the one who called him was his aunt.

Every morning, he has to help make tofu for his aunt and grandfather, especially this weekend, when business is booming.

The freshly ground tofu in the morning is very fresh and fragrant, the tofu is tender but not loose, the marinade is not light, the oil is fragrant and not greasy, mixed with shallots and chili oil, it is famous in the whole Baokang County.

He has to help make a day's worth of bean curd, so he often has to get up early.

When I opened the door, I felt the cold and wet wind blowing in my face! Lu Chen shrunk his neck, there were only five broken tile houses in the small courtyard outside, one of which was to be used to make tofu flowers, and one of them had to be planed out to be a thatched house.

The remaining three rooms include one room for uncle Lu Zhengqing and aunt Hu Fengjiao, one room for himself and grandfather Lu Fangheng and one room for cousin Lu Menghan.

Even though it was cold outside, it was already hot in the kitchen.

"Stinky boy! What time is it? Hurry up and help! A middle-aged woman in the kitchen roared viciously, her fat all over her body was about to fold into a mountain, layers of candlesticks that seemed to have been burned, and her face was covered with horizontal flesh.

Lu Chen took three steps and made two steps, and hurried up to help! At the bottom of the kitchen, a hunchbacked, emaciated, wrinkled old man in a black robe was slowly stirring the bean juice in the pot, like a dead tree, and his work looked very difficult.

"Grandpa, just stir the bean curd for a few breaths, otherwise it won't be tender enough." As he spoke, he stepped forward and lived for the old man.

The old man smiled, shook his head and sighed while beating his back: "Old...... I can't do the hard work, I was a blacksmith when I was young, and it wasn't so hard to build a big fence for the county seat......"

"Stop nagging! What is the use of how many iron pipes? You didn't draw the runes on it, and your little pension is not enough to eat! The fat woman shouted, her eyes were round, she was Lu Chen's aunt Hu Fengjiao.

The woman scolded as she moved the prepared soy milk bucket to the side, looking effortless, as if she was just carrying a leather bag.

"And you!" Hu Fengjiao suddenly turned her head, pointed at Lu Chen and roared: "Spending so much money to go to school, the soul robe is so rubbish that it is called a tattered king by his classmates!" It's okay if Zhao Zijiao's girl broke up with you, now even my aunt who can't beat my eight poles has become a celebrity! ”

Speaking of this, the anger in her heart seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer, and Lu Chen's grandfather, Lu Fangheng, couldn't persuade him next to her.

"The strength is only two levels of Taoism until now, and it hasn't surpassed your sister, so if you can't do it, just drop out! Spend so much money in vain! ”

Lu Chen was shocked by these words! Clenched his fists hard, his slightly longer nails pierced deep into his palms, the biggest setback in his life was nothing more than this, especially when he broke up with his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend, more than two months have passed, and he doesn't want to mention it again.

I thought that I would be able to accept it for so long, but I don't know why, the feeling of tearing that once came from the bottom of my heart again.

Lu Chen ...... My mother said that I am not suitable, don't let me associate with you again, in the future, let's keep our distance......" Lu Chen recalled the voice of his girlfriend Zhao Zijiao, where is the indifferent look and the gentleness that used to be? It's so cold that it's chilling, and it's still echoing in my mind after so long.

Lu Chen ...... Let's keep our distance in the future......"

Lu Chen ...... Keep your distance......"

"Keep your distance......"

Lu Chen trembled, put down the work in his hand in a trance, and suddenly "Ah! With a burst of shouts, he rushed out! Push open the courtyard gate on the side, ignore it, and rush towards the southwest of the county!

"Oh, what are you doing?" Hu Fengjiao's screaming voice sounded from behind her, but the sound was immediately hidden in the house behind her.

Through several alleys, Lu Chen rushed to the wasteland on the edge of the county seat, surrounded by heavy iron nets, and the talisman seal shook gently in the wind.

He "Boom! "Kneeling beside a dead tree in the wasteland, gasping violently! Then he raised his fist and pounded the ground hard, letting out "Bang! Boom! "Continuous muffled sounds! Several deep pits suddenly appeared here!

You must know that this is hard ground, and Lu Chen's punches are comparable to the strength of a professional boxer! Each blow is estimated to have hundreds of pounds of force!

"Huhuhu......" he knelt on the ground, gasping for air.

Lu Chen has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, he was fostered in his uncle's house, and he has suffered from white eyes for so many years, if it weren't for his grandfather still feeling sorry for him, he would have no sustenance to live.

After a long time, he calmed down and slowly stretched out his right hand......

With the "Hmmm! With a bang, I saw a palm-sized mini black robe appear in the palm of my hand! Flickering with a faint light, magical and dazzling, followed by the rapid growth of this thing, and finally put it on Lu Chen's body.

When I got bigger and put it on, I realized that the robe was extremely tattered! It can only be described by the word "extreme", and there is not a patch on it at all, because it has become like a rag hanging on the body, so miserable that people can't bear to look at it directly.

Wearing this, even if he is clean, he will be alive and well.

This is Lu Chen's soul robe.

Lu Chen looked down at himself in astonishment, and after a long time, a bitter smile appeared on his face that was a hundred times more ugly than crying......

The robe is the most important thing for humans to rely on when they go out to fight, and before it was discovered, humanity had just experienced a terrible cataclysm in 2027 AD.

In the winter of that year, the earth overlapped with the terrifying other world, and many blood-colored caves suddenly appeared in the originally normal land of Shenzhou! Not only did countless terrifying zombies and ghosts come out of it, but it also exuded a rolling demonic aura, filling the world!

That demonic energy not only made the dead corpses become zombies and ghosts, but also turned animals into evil beasts, which eventually led to the chaos of human society and the death of hundreds of millions of lives.

Since then, that day has been known as the night of the bloody change, and the history of mankind has taken a fundamental turn.

Every year that passes, there will be a night of bloody rebellion with ghosts, and the land will be infested with ghosts, and although the length and scale of the land will be uncertain, each time it will cause great disasters!

After human beings experienced many large-scale casualties, they found that the more fearful they were, the more zombies and ghosts they would provoke, and then they began to consciously control their emotions to avoid and reduce casualties.

In 2030 AD, the Taoist family, led by the head of the Maoshan Zhongyun Dragon, used talismans to help people resist evil spirits, and took the lead in discovering that humans could summon soul robes through qigong on the basis of this new world, and then enhance their strength and even obtain special abilities.

The robe allows a person to have various attribute attack bonuses during battle, such as strength enhancement, or different additional abilities such as cold, fire, recovery, defense, etc. in the move.

So far, humans have greatly enhanced their means of fighting zombie ghosts!

Later, in addition to dividing the soul robe into five attributes of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth", people also divided those soul robes that often appeared into one to ten different grades according to their appearance and actual combat tests, and the higher the grade, the better.

But this is not entirely accurate, it is said that decades have passed, and now people's research on soul robes is still relatively rudimentary, for most people's concepts, the quality of soul robes, the iron law of judgment is that the more exquisite the appearance, the more powerful the quality of the soul robe, the better.

Normally, normal people have to go through at least three or more soul attractions before they can successfully summon the soul robe on their body, but Lu Chen is the first person in the history of the school who can summon the soul robe through just one summon, just when everyone thought that there would be a miracle, in the end, this soul robe was so tattered that it could no longer be tattered.

And he was ridiculed by the whole school because this was rated as the most broken first-level garbage non-attribute soul robe in history......

Thinking of the humiliation and frustration he had experienced in the past few months, Lu Chen's expression on his knees turned hideously twisted again, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Why? Why are you doing this to me, God? ”

This roar, the shaking woods outside the city also trembled, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, from childhood to adulthood, too many setbacks, too many blows fell on his body, making it difficult for him to bear......

At such a young age, Lu Chen has already experienced too many tribulations, and today he has exploded intensively!

He was left alone to vent and roar.

The ground was also driven out of one pit after another......

After a long time, Lu Chen's emotions slowly calmed down.

He gasped, the matter had come to this, no matter how much he vented his anger, he couldn't get back what he had lost.

The north wind suddenly blew through the fence and talisman outside the county seat, making a grinning sound, looking at the black and oppressive mountains in the distance, Lu Chen was dazed for a long time, and then shook his head dejectedly, and stood up with one hand.

But the moment he got up, this soul robe faintly emitted a little black gas, and it drifted away in the blink of an eye, without causing any notice......
