Chapter 168: Promotion Sequence 8
After finishing the interview materials, Sean quickly returned to the Hunters' Guild with the evidence he had easily obtained.
Martin and Kelly weren't at headquarters, and in Jessica's words, who was on duty, since the ritual at the cemetery was destroyed that night, all the team members, except for one person who stayed behind every day, had to go out to search for the whereabouts of the Brotherhood of Beasts and the source of the materials involved in the ritual.
Sean immediately understood that this was the captain carrying out the order conveyed by Deacon George, and in desperation, he could only temporarily return to his office and wait.
Although he also had the task of investigating Baron Rohm of the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce, his mind was now entirely on the Tarot Lottery and the Secret Fruit.
And since Martin and Kelly are both out to work, the only thing he wants to do now is to take the secret fruit to advance to Sequence 8 as soon as possible.
After receiving a basin of water from the office and returning to the office, he locked the office door and then skillfully buried his head in the basin.
The familiar feeling came back to him, and soon he was back in the urn.
At this time, there were many things in the urn, including two seals borrowed from the Secret Workshop and the seals obtained from Miss Aurora, and the one that excited him the most was the Mithril box that contained the Sequence 8 Secret Fruit in the corner.
Although it was not the first time he had taken the secret fruit, when it was time to advance, he was still more excited than ever.
Since this time it was a ready-made cultivated secret fruit, he didn't need to prepare a cultivated silver pot and other tools, but directly opened the secret fruit and took it.
However, he was still a little hesitant before taking it, after all, this was a temple of gods, and his behavior was already a serious act of blasphemy in a sense.
"It should be fine, right!?"
Sean was a little apprehensive when he held the secret fruit in his hand, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and stuffed the secret fruit into his mouth.
Well...... It doesn't taste like it, it's still similar to the jelly smell from my previous life...... Sean chewed a few times with some disappointment, and was about to complain a few words, when suddenly his body shook, the temperature in his body began to rise sharply, and his entire body skin was like a Jiwei shrimp that had just been thrown into a hot pot, and it was instantly red.
He inexplicably had a strange feeling that every drop of juice in the secret fruit he had just eaten was pounding his cells like a hammer.
It was a very strange feeling, obviously nothing appeared in front of him, but he just "saw" his cells release strange energy in the thrashing again and again, and then this energy began to flow to the blue baby-like light cluster that I don't know where to hide.
"This is the Sequence 9 Secret Fruit I took before!" A realization rose in Sean's heart.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, as if only a few seconds had passed, and as if many, many years had passed, in short, he watched the blue baby's body become more and more real, and even vaguely appeared something like blood vessels.
At the same time, in the world he "saw", a phantom of him was reflected in front of the blue baby, and his heart roared, and his consciousness shifted to this phantom on its own.
"Eat, eat it!"
A strange feeling came to his heart, and Sean had an inexplicable realization in his heart, and instantly pounced, like a hungry wolf.
At one point, the blue baby was swallowed by him, and just as he was about to moan with a satisfied face, a series of ghosts suddenly appeared in the holy urn in front of him, and these ghosts began to blur and distort everything around him, like a house that kept spinning, the world was reversed, and the world was chaotic.
At the same time, he felt that he was ascending, rising, and ascending again, and the holy urn, which had only monotonous colors, seemed to have been splashed with a layer of colorful ink by someone, and the brilliant colors with the glow shrouded him in a strange world.
"It's ...... Spirit! ”
When Sean was confused, he looked around and saw a world of colorful streamers again, there were no mountains, no seas, no sky, nothing in this world, only streamers like a dream, he suddenly realized that he wanted to travel around.
However, at this moment, a murmur and a cry that he had never heard before rang in his ears: "Blasphemy...... Geheros ...... Desecrate...... Geheros ...... Desecrate...... Geheros ...... Desecrate...... Geheros ...... Desecrate...... Gehros ......"
Airplanes!
Sean's heart was shocked, his mind instantly cleared, and the disorderly fluttering spirit body quickly sank and returned to reality.
Then, the blurry, distorted vision quickly faded, the colors around him returned to normal, and he saw the familiar walls of the urn again.
Call...... He felt the great increase in his spirituality and some abilities that he inexplicably comprehended, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled slightly.
At this moment, he clearly knew that he had been promoted successfully, and he knew that he was the gardener of Sequence 8.
"I don't know if my physical fitness has changed now."
Sean was in no mood to stay any longer, and immediately withdrew from the urn and returned to the real world.
The next moment, his head was lifted from the basin with droplets of water, and his hair was wet.
"Hmm...... It's ...... feeling."
Sean was excited, but he didn't pay attention to the wet hair, twisted his body directly, and then took a step forward according to the method taught by Ms. Jessica before, swung his shoulders and arms, and punched a straight fist into the air.
Syllable!
He heard the sound of the resistance made by the fist as it broke through the air flow, like the vortex from a fighter jet accelerating the sprint, and his whole body suddenly lost its balance because it was unprepared, and one stumbled and fell to the ground.
However, he didn't care about any of this, but his face was full of incredulity.
"What's going on? Although it is said that sequential promotion will improve physical fitness, but this is too exaggerated, right? ”
"No, Ms. Jessica is a Sequence 9 fighter, but she doesn't have such exaggerated physical fitness, is it because of the cultivation method?"
Sean inexplicably thought that he seemed to have swallowed the blue baby transformed by the Sequence 9 Secret Fruit in the dark, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of weirdness.
Is this true for every transcendent being, or is it just me? Sean was both apprehensive and surprised.
I am worried that if I am the only one who is like this, then this is almost certainly the reason for the cultivation method, and although the results are good, will there be any side effects? He wasn't sure.
He was pleasantly surprised that he finally felt the benefits of the cultivation method himself, although he was only promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8, but the changes brought to him still exceeded his expectations.
Of course, what surprised him the most was that since he had just been promoted to Sequence 8 Gardener, he had inexplicably comprehended two abilities, one called Possession and the other called Guardian.
Some people died, but not completely......
