Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

A man in black stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Junyu's ear, "Young Master, an S-class ghost is chasing Wu Xiaode."

Zhao Junyu's expression turned stern and he said, "What about our people?"

"They have already followed."

"Good, ensure Wu Xiaode is not killed, continue to dispatch more people to help."

"Yes!"

Zhao Junyu was about to drink tea when suddenly his cell phone rang again.

"Huh? Sister, is there something else?" He asked in surprise.

On the screen, the expression of the ice queen was a tad subtle.

She seemed to be holding back laughter while also looking troubled by an annoying issue, considerably vexed.

"What's wrong, sister?" Zhao Junyu was confused.

The woman said, "Wu Xiaode is live streaming, you better take a look and then figure out how to resolve this situation."

Zhao Junyu wondered, "Live streaming? What's the situation?"

...

At the train station.

Under the dim streetlights.

A crow descended from the sky, transforming into Wu Xiaode.

Upon landing, he immediately checked the time on his phone.

Ten minutes had passed.

The Book of the Dead, hovering in mid-air, slowly opened, revealing row upon row of ice crystal characters:

"The upgrade is now complete."

"You have gained a brand new wall."

A wall?

What does that mean?

Wu Xiaode was a bit puzzled, thinking to himself, "Let me take a look."

The Book of the Dead trembled.

Countless fogs rose from all around, veiling the whole world.

The massive wish wall appeared once again before Wu Xiaode's eyes, but this time, beside the wish wall, a new wall emerged at a vertical angle.

This wall was completely enshrouded in white fog, and for a moment, it was indistinct.

"What is this?" Wu Xiaode wondered.

The Book of the Dead displayed rows of ice crystal characters:

"The power required for this evolution is: the soul resonance of a thousand people."

"The actual number of soul resonances received this time: one hundred and eight thousand six hundred fifty-four individuals."

"Since the soul power far exceeded expectations, the coalescence of this brand-new function has been elevated to an incredibly high level."

"This highest degree of evolution requires your will's confirmation."

"Please speak out the strongest desire in your heart to the wall."

"The wall will shape the ultimate auxiliary function based on your wish."

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

——To be determined by my will?

"Alright then, let this wall directly produce a 'defeat the One-eyed Giant' function!" he said with a Fist.

The Book of the Dead shook, rapidly flipping its pages, displaying a line of bold red characters:

"There is no such function!"

"But you said it was up to me to decide," Wu Xiaode said with a shrug.

"The functions produced by this book can only assist you, not directly realize anything," the Book of the Dead stated.

Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.

The first ability of the Book of the Dead was "wish wall."

Now it was time to develop a second ability, and it had to be a careful decision.

After all, he had to face the One-eyed Giant in seven days, and he needed to come up with an ability that could play a crucial role!

At this moment, the Book of the Dead seemed to calm down as well, once again presenting a row of ice crystal characters:

"No need to hurry, you can take your time to think, but until you come up with something, every hour one part of your body will itch intensely. This is the overflow of the book's power, you need not worry about it."

"What if it's too itchy?" Wu Xiaode asked.

A single large character popped up on the Book of the Dead:

"Scratch."

"Fine, I'll think fast," Wu Xiaode immediately said.

His cell phone suddenly rang.

When he checked, it was Zhao Junyu.

"What's up?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"From now on, you are not a fugitive anymore," Zhao Junyu said.

"...How did you manage that? I remember being on TV, wanted nationwide," Wu Xiaode said in surprise.

"Naturally, I have taken the stage, so I was able to make this happen," Zhao Junyu stated.

"Thanks. Do you need me to do anything for you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You've already saved me once, so you don't need to say things like that. However, I indeed have a choice that needs to be made by you," Zhao Junyu stated.

"Go ahead," Wu Xiaode said.

"Xia Huilan's tutor, the deputy general manager of United Manufacturing Company, and the head of the Defense Bureau have all died. You and Xia Huilan could just take this opportunity to leave the Capital and find a place to lay low, to live your own lives," Zhao Junyu said.

"What's the other choice?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The real mastermind has yet to reveal themselves, and now that I have taken the stage, if you're willing to investigate these matters with me, we can get to the truth. If it's time to strike back, we'll strike back, if it's time for revenge, we'll seek revenge, annihilating our enemies once and for all," Zhao Junyu stated.

Wu Xiaode thought for a few moments and then said, "I hope Huilan won't have to worry about being targeted in the future; that would make me feel more at ease."

"Excellent, how about you take Huilan to the countryside and then come back to the city?" Zhao Junyu suggested.

"No problem," Wu Xiaode responded.

"By the way, to ensure your and Huilan's safety, I've arranged for a sniper to protect you."

"A sniper?" Wu Xiaode was taken aback.

"Yes, along with some other powerful individuals, they'll be in position soon. If you notice anyone suspicious nearby, just touch your nose with your hand, left hand for 'kill them all,' right hand to 'shoot the most threatening target.'

"——My people will eliminate them as soon as they see your signal."

Wu Xiaode joked, "You really should have brought a few snipers during your confession."
