Lord of Mysterious Wizard

After reviewing the changes in the Meditation Method, Tang Qi’s gaze continued to sweep over the other skills.

Molten Furnace Eye: Derived Skill, activated by the eye, possesses Shock and Calming Spirit effects, can be further enhanced; Realm: Beginner; Progress: 5%.

The progress of the Molten Furnace Eye seemed to follow that of the Meditation Method. Although it wasn’t as exaggerated, it had also made a significant leap. Tang Qi could feel that he no longer needed to brew and prepare; he could directly channel the Melting Furnace Power into his eyes to activate this Derived Skill.

The power it could unleash might be beyond expectations.

The third image that popped up was the Chaga Fighting Technique.

The progress of this Skill was truly beyond Tang Qi’s expectations.

He didn’t bother to look at other Information Fragments and focused directly on the progress.

“20%!”

The leap-like increase caused Tang Qi to slightly raise his eyebrows in contemplation.

“Now, the Chaga Fighting Technique has certainly diverged greatly from the original Fighting Skill. It was something I learned from Old Morgan’s diary, just fragments of techniques; theoretically, they shouldn’t even be considered Extraordinary Skills, but rather just some extremely old and offbeat Fighting Skills. However, after transforming into a Skill, it must have undergone some changes—unknown changes due to my Special Abilities. The initial cap might have already broken free from the shackles of the original Fighting Skill.”

“Especially with the appearance of Fog Body, its cap was raised once again. When combined, the power—I didn’t need to use Blood Python One nor Heige’s hatred when fighting that Scarecrow; I only used the Fighting Skill, and it killed him.”

“This was unimaginable before, as the original technique of the Fighting Skill at most allowed him to handle the Dog-faced Man and the Devil Dog, and he would still have to rely on the power of Blood Python One at the end. But once combined with Fog Body, all sorts of inconceivable techniques could be displayed, and his combat power was elevated to a level where he could fight bizarre creatures like the Scarecrows. With the current State, I wouldn’t even need firearms to engage in an up-close battle with the Manatee Sea Demon.”

“If I integrate other Skills in the future, could its cap be raised even higher?”

“Huh~”

Tang Qi felt as if he had grasped some key points, but with too few samples, he couldn’t lift the last layer of Mist.

Currently, besides the Meditation Method, Molten Furnace Eye, and Fighting Skill, Tang Qi only had Secret Medicine to his name. Fog Body was different; it was an effect brought about by Secret Medicine. After consumption, it could Fog not only the body but also things very close to it, such as clothes and firearms. However, its effect was limited by the amount of spiritual power Tang Qi possessed.

Returning to Secret Medicine, its progress was even more astonishing: 30%.

This was because he had created a whole line of enhancement series, including Swift, Phantom, Mist, and Fog Body…

Strictly speaking, this was something many Secret Medicine apprentices couldn’t accomplish.

At least among the knowledge of the Original Secret Medicine School in the mind, although this enhancement series did not require the preparer to be an advanced “apprentice,” beginners would not challenge it, and most would usually struggle with the Spirit Communication Secret Medicine or the Wind’s Secret Medicine.

And the Rubber Man Secret Medicine—that’s the most terrifying challenge an apprentice advanced faces.

Among the three basic Secret Medicines, only this one has an unimaginably high difficulty.

Tang Qi even suspected that the downfall of the Original Secret Medicine School was related to this Secret Medicine. The difficulty of creating the Rubber Man Secret Medicine was lower than a whole enhancement series, but that assumed having all the materials at hand. Some Extraordinary Materials in the Rubber Man Secret Medicine couldn’t be gathered by Tang Qi in a short amount of time.

Of course, even if he could find them, he would still choose the Fog Body Secret Medicine.

However, Tang Qi achieved this with his Special Ability, which is not universally applicable.

His progress in Secret Medicine is purely accumulated through bottle after bottle of Secret Medicine; currently, Tang Qi has more than a dozen Swift Secret Medicine, nearly ten Phantom Secret Medicine, and three Mist Secret Medicine. As for the Fog Body Secret Medicine, Tang Qi has no plans to concoct a second bottle for the time being.@@novelbin@@

…

After sorting everything out, it was just in time for the next morning.

Tang Qi comfortably took a hot shower and prepared breakfast for himself. Half an hour later, he was completely refreshed.

However, there was a certain indescribable aura about him, a sort of temperament. It was somewhat Abnormal, making it hard for others to look him in the eye, as if something horrifying was lurking beneath his calm exterior. He could not be certain himself whether this aura was due to killing too many Abnormalities last night or because of those… three tentacles?

After putting on his black-framed glasses, he still couldn’t conceal it, so he stood in front of the mirror before leaving the house, experimented a bit, and finally managed to conceal his somewhat Abnormal temperament using the overwhelming spiritual power he had just acquired.

When he locked the door, holding a big tome and mingling with the crowd of students, he was once again a normal high school student.

However, the leisurely class time lasted only about a quarter of an hour.

Tang Qi found that there were no classes of interest to him today, so he had Sally help him excuse himself, and then he exercised his Privilege to leave the campus.

It was time for work, and since he had taken advantage, he must fulfill his obligations.

The consulting work at the Messer Police Station allowed Tang Qi to freely choose his spoils and get a handsome salary, which was very generous. Having taken two days off, he wondered if Stanna would come to the school and kill him if he postponed going there again today.

There was no need to take a bus or carriage; Messer Police Station was not too far from Thorns Campus, and Tang Qi could walk there.

At this time, most people are on their way to work.

Store after store opened its doors, factory workers gathered in droves to take the early bus to the large factories in the suburbs, and the city’s office workers took various buses, nibbling on hotdogs or sandwiches bought from street vendors, flipping through newspapers.

Messer City was waking up.

However, there were also some discordant scenes, for example, the streets of Bronk District that Tang Qi passed through, where the corners of alleys, garbage cans, and even park benches were covered with traces of beggars and vagrants straining to hide themselves, otherwise they might be beaten when the patrol teams came by.

Soon Tang Qi saw the classic-style building of the Messer Police Station, but he didn’t go in immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, went straight to the hamburger stand across the street, bought several large hamburgers and hotdogs, then turned and walked toward a dirty and messy alley.

Inside, because of the several garbage cans and a nearby restaurant, it became a place of refuge for many beggars and vagrants.

As Tang Qi’s figure appeared, numerous pairs of eyes “swished” toward him.

Enticed by the smell of the hamburgers and hotdogs, these shabbily dressed vagrants could not help but swallow salvia, their noses twitching slightly as if sniffing a few more times would fill their stomachs. After realizing Tang Qi was just a youngster, their retreating gazes turned greedy.

If it weren’t for the fact that in the next moment, Tang Qi had taken out his consultant’s badge, the group of vagrants might have already rushed up to rob him.

Watching the heads that quickly withdrew, Tang Qi walked calmly amongst the vagrants’ “beds” and finally stopped before a sleeping spot that wasn’t so well-positioned, crouching down to look at a young beggar about his age.

Tang Qi frowned slightly, puzzled, “Do you know me?”
