Chapter 1 Talent Breakthrough

“Alert: Your talent in the real world has broken through!”

“Alert: Your talent ability has evolved. The original talent ability barrier has been formally upgraded.”

“Alert: Contract Holder 1018's talent ability has been officially promoted.”

“Sigh of the Grim Reaper. Any attack that deals damage to you will be forcibly reduced by 50 to 200 points. The value of this damage reduction effect increases with the damage dealt to you by the enemy. The extreme value of the damage reduction effect will be triggered when the actual damage you suffer is higher than or equal to 220 points. If the damage of this attack is less than 50 points, then 1 point of health will be forcibly deducted."

“The duration of any abnormal status on you will be reduced by an additional 50%. This effect can be stacked with the physical immunity effect, but at most it can only reduce the duration of the abnormal status by 70%. You gain the active ability Absorption, immediately absorbing the abnormal status from an ally within 50 meters and transferring it to your own body.”

“When the enemy's next attack may put you in a near-death state, then this attack, while deducting your health points to 0, will trigger the Sigh of the Grim Reaper, and the enemy's remaining true attack power will be converted into a healing effect. The healing effect triggered by the Sigh of the Grim Reaper will restore at least 20% of your health, but cannot restore more than 50% of your health. The cooldown time of the Sigh of the Grim Reaper is 72 hours.”

“Initiating priority data query for the Sigh of the Grim Reaper ability.”

“Query completed: Similar abilities exist in the external database. Evaluating….”

“The Sigh of the Grim Reaper is rated as an S-level talent. It still has room for improvement. Its priority is… data is chaotic, unable to evaluate the priority of this talent ability! Therefore, others cannot detect your talent ability, but you cannot display your talent ability to others in any way.”

“Contract Holder 1018 has another near-death trigger ability: Life Link, so you can freely choose the priority trigger right of the two.”

“Well, it looks like the evolution is not bad. Judging from the system's prompt, it obtained similar ability information from an external database? External database… doesn't that mean other spaces? There are even guys whose evolution direction is similar to mine?”

“However, the priority of my talent ability is still in data chaos, it seems to be quite remarkable.”

“The Space mentioned that my talent still has room for improvement, but this breakthrough was accumulated for a long time, and then broke through under the immense pressure of life and death. Even if I experience life and death again in the future, it will be difficult to have such intense feelings.”

“That is to say, this breakthrough, achieved under such harsh breakthrough conditions, is almost impossible to surpass. So, where is the space for my next talent upgrade? My own potential has almost reached its limit. Could it be that the next breakthrough point will depend on external media?”

Considering this, Fang Senyan suddenly thought of the vast Star Ocean, the outwardly strong but inwardly weak Empire, and the mysterious Big Ben Research Institute that seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of bloody clouds. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. That place is still almost unreachable for him now.

After soaking in the hot spring for nearly an hour, Fang Senyan felt that the injuries in his body had mostly healed. Although there was still pain in the broken bones, it was no longer a major problem and would not have a negative impact on his activities.

However, as soon as he rashly got out of the hot spring, he was immediately shivered by the cold wind, and immediately realized that if he went out wearing wet clothes, he would be frozen into an icicle in a few minutes. If he wanted to walk, the clothes on his body would make a cracking sound like armor.

After thinking about it, Fang Senyan began to swim towards the hotter area. As a result, he found a shallow cave under the rock wall. There was no ice or snow around it, and there seemed to be a hot spring vent there.

After Fang Senyan swam into the cave, he immediately felt the water temperature start to become scorching hot. He gritted his teeth and endured it, then stripped himself naked in no time, wrung out his soaked clothes and pants, and spread them flat on the hot rocks next to him. He estimated that they would dry out soon, and then quickly swam into the warm water area next to him.

At this time, Fang Senyan thought of another thing, that is, why could the mysterious voice be so sure that this place had hot springs when it was clearly in another parallel world? The only explanation is that the geological features of parallel worlds should be exactly the same.

Of course, because of different human activities, the development of the earth may be different, but in such remote mountains and rivers, the influence of humans should be small, so the mysterious voice was so sure that he would not die if he jumped off the cliff. Otherwise, if another scenic spot built a hot spring resort here, then even if he believed the voice and jumped down, he might have smashed into the top of the resort and turned into a meat pie.

Thinking of this mysterious voice, Fang Senyan couldn't help but admire the depth of this guy's scheming. His control of people's hearts is really a first-class level, and even Fang Senyan's psychological activities and reactions were in his prediction.

However, there is a saying that human calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Human calculation is always exhaustive, but heaven's calculation is infinite. No matter how powerful the mysterious voice is, it is impossible to know that several Nepalese porters would choose to kill for money and push people down the mountain. And Fang Senyan, this powerful guy who could easily kill a thousand of them, was so idiotic that he fell into the trap...

At the thought of this, Fang Senyan immediately realized another thing. If this mysterious voice is really as far-sighted as his own speculation, then there must be follow-up steps! It is absolutely impossible to just let it go. He thought about it carefully, immediately took a deep breath, and dived towards the bottom.

Of course, the underwater was a dark abyss without any suspense, but Fang Senyan's eyes faintly captured a trace of hazy light. He endured the discomfort of his eyes being corroded by sulfur and quickly swam closer, and found that the light source was a stone. This thing can be said to be priceless in ancient times, and is called a night-shining pearl. In fact, it is a kind of mineral called fluorite. Because it contains a certain amount of radioactivity, it emits light, so people who obtained night-shining pearls in ancient times usually didn't have a good ending...

Under that stone, there was another string of dzi beads.

This string of dzi beads can probably only be carried as a bracelet, and there is also a mysterious aura on the dzi beads themselves. Fang Senyan put it on his wrist and immediately felt that this thing was much more high-end than the previous string. At least he could immediately enter a state of resonance with the mysterious voice from another plane and contact it.

“You really succeeded, because if you didn't succeed, you wouldn't be able to trigger the resonance of this string of magical artifacts. Congratulations on crossing the barrier between life and death. Next, you must trust me more, worship me, just like you trust the gifts of the sky and the earth and the grace of nurturing, this is the only way to success...”

The first thing Fang Senyan heard was such a soft murmur, oh no, it should be called brainwashing.

For that mysterious voice, he estimated that Fang Senyan should trust him to the point where he could entrust his life and death to him, and then he would jump down so rashly. At this time, he would experience the baptism of life and death in the air, and his strength would greatly increase, and his mind must be in the most fragile state, so why not brainwash him now?

Unfortunately, where does he know that if Fang Senyan's experience was not witnessed with his own eyes, then it would be impossible to guess! So this act of pretense was completely a flirtatious glance thrown at a blind man.

And Fang Senyan was also very wretched at this time, and immediately made an extremely excited look, trembling:

“You, you are my faith from now on, my master, your words will become the guideline of my behavior, may I have the honor of knowing your name?”

“My full name is: Chokyou. Changka. Lelo. Gyatso! Just call me Guru Lelo.”

The name Lelo once left its glorious history in the Nightmare Space. He did not lie to Fang Senyan before. He did enter the Space and then successfully escaped. He was also an extremely powerful Stamina Specialist, and once occupied the throne of the Mountain Man among the top ten powerhouses for a long time.

In the parallel world where he is located, this guy has successfully founded a grand Lama sect, with hundreds of thousands of believers under his command, so no matter from which point of view, he also has enough experience to guide Fang Senyan. Of course, it is difficult to say what his intentions are, but the only thing that can be certain is that Lelo was not a person who liked to help others before, is not now, and will not be in the future!

Fate connects these two people in a strange way, and I don't know what it means.

“A尊者? This guy turns out to be a charlatan.” Fang Senyan's mind flashed this thought like lightning, but although his mind may be inferior to Lelo in terms of sophistication, it is more than enough in terms of meticulous logic. Immediately, with the idea that not taking advantage of a bargain is a bastard, he first flattered him fiercely, and then said in fear and trepidation:

“Guru, the disciple is still in a state of confusion, and my future is still hazy.”
