Volume 1: City of Sky Foxes [002] Night Walker

There are still three months left before the graduation ceremony, and the students have already started to go their separate ways.

Zhang Ping did not leave the school, but he no longer went to the teaching building. Instead, he exercised in the dormitory, playground, and canteen every day, euphemistically speaking, laying the foundation for his future farming career.

He is not the most outstanding one. Many students do this. After all, after leaving school, you can only do the worst job. There is no hope for the future. It is better to stay in school and play one more day.

And he found that these students were very safe, and almost none of them were replaced by Tian Changhu.

In other words, Tian Changhu's targets are either students with great potential, or students who join key departments such as the patrol team. The rest are not in a hurry because they are not a big threat.

For example, he, a summoner who could not obtain summoned beasts, was destined to farm. Naturally, there was no danger, so Tianchanghu did not attack him immediately.

A negative example is Luo Shiyu. I remember that she had awakened an extremely powerful ability two years ago. I am afraid that the day she was judged to be extremely talented, she was already targeted by Tian Changhu.

Zhang Ping can feel that he is making progress every day now, and his physical fitness is getting stronger day by day.

If it weren't for his limited physical and mental strength, he would definitely eat the contract gems like jelly beans. Unfortunately, after a few days, no new talents were awakened, but his potential continued to increase.

The most obvious feeling is that in just a few dozen days, he has been able to do a thousand push-ups continuously.

And after finishing it, my physical strength will be restored quickly, and I will no longer lie on the ground like a dead dog like before, too tired to move.

night.

Zhang Ping sat cross-legged on the bed, glanced at the night outside the window, and condensed a contract gem again.

He popped the gem into his mouth, chewed it briefly, and then swallowed it.

This time, he suddenly felt that everything was silent, as if the whole world had lost its sound. It took him a while to break away from the silence, and the sound of crickets and frogs began to sound again.

He immediately released the appraisal on himself.

[Identification successful]

[Summoned Beast: Zhang Ping]

[Master: Zhang Ping]

[Race: Human]

【potential:????】

【Lifespan: 89】

【talent】

[Contract Gem: It can consume physical strength + mental power to condense the Contract Gem. Once the target voluntarily accepts the Contract Gem, the life, soul, and consciousness will be dominated by the Summoner, but at the same time, it will also be blessed by the Summoner’s potential and luck. After taking it for the first time , taking it again will slightly increase your own potential, and there is a 1% chance of awakening new talents. Note: Summoner Zhang Ping's innate ability was obtained by overdrafting his IQ, potential, and luck. Although it is very powerful, it also has some huge flaws. Being too ambitious does not seem to be a good thing. 】

[Absolute command: You have absolute control over the summoned beast, and the summoned beast cannot disobey your orders]

[Absolute obedience: You absolutely obey the summoner’s orders, and you will faithfully execute the summoner’s orders]

[Unstable identification technique: The target can be identified, and there is a very small probability of obtaining target information. The smaller the strength gap between the two parties, the greater the probability of successfully obtaining information. If the first identification is successful, the subsequent success rate of identification of the same target will be greatly increased. . Note: The natural abilities born from the thirst for knowledge of the summoned beast Zhang Ping and the summoner Zhang Ping]

[Nightwalker: Gain dark night vision, and the sense of presence at night is greatly reduced, the movement speed is greatly increased, the weight is reduced, and the person is completely invisible in the shadows. 】

Sure enough, there is an extra talent!

Zhang Ping didn't actually need to identify it, his body felt it first.

After all, it is night, and the improvement in vision and weight loss will be very obvious.

He got out of bed and tried it, and found that his body was much lighter. He could touch the ceiling with a slight jump, and there was almost no sound when he landed.

Under the vision of dark night, the dark city outside the window becomes brighter.

He even saw a huge raptor with a wingspan of twelve meters flying across the sky with billowing black smoke.

If this bird of prey descended from the sky and attacked the city, the consequences would be disastrous.

The world is too dangerous.

Zhang Ping let out a breath, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

He just discovered that his potential has increased by one star. His potential was originally three stars, but now it has become four stars. The most obvious change that his body can feel is the addition of a talent, but there are still many hidden things. The changes need to be discovered by himself.

In the bathroom, he did 2,500 push-ups in one breath. If he used the force command, he could probably do about 3,000 push-ups.

Of course, this is related to losing weight, and it is estimated that it will be greatly reduced during the day.

Also, the five senses become more acute.

Many sounds that were previously inaudible can now be vaguely heard as long as one concentrates.

For example, the sound of teeth grinding next door while sleeping.

"I wonder what level I am at now?"

Zhang Ping came out of the bathroom and lay on the bed, thinking to himself.

There are levels of awakened people, and they are not complicated.

All newly awakened abilities can be classified as level 1 awakeners.

The level of a primary awakened person is between level 1 and level 9. When level 10 is exceeded, it becomes an intermediate awakened person.

When an intermediate awakened person breaks through level 20, he or she will naturally become a high-level awakened person, and after that, he will become a top-level awakened person.

As for the top awakeners, it is said that there are king-level awakeners, but there has never been a king in Pearl City, and even the city lord is only a top awakener.

The King is just a legend that has been passed down among the awakened ones.

…

the next day.

Zhang Ping woke up half an hour earlier than usual. When he woke up, he was in the playground and his body was in automatic running mode.

He did not change the order, but carefully felt his mental state.

Very good, very energetic.

I didn't feel sleepy because I woke up too early.

Zhang Ping estimated in his mind that his potential had increased, so he needed less sleep.

After finishing his run, his body automatically walked to the canteen, and everything went according to plan until 'Luo Shiyu' appeared.

"Classmate Luo Shiyu, good morning!"

"Classmate Luo Shiyu, I'll help you line up. What do you want to eat?"

"I was a little sleepy at first, but when I saw classmate Luo Shiyu, I became energetic."

The huge fox with Luo Shiyu's human skin on its forehead slowly walked towards the crowd, and even though Zhang Ping's strength had improved, he still felt a chill.

Suddenly, Chang Hu walked up to a girl that day, stretched out his sharp claws to grab the girl's neck and lifted her up, dragging her forward as if she was choosing from a buffet.

Zhang Ping lowered his head and held the chopsticks tightly in his hands. It wasn't until Tian Changhu passed by him that he gritted his teeth slightly and ordered himself to continue eating, trying to finish everything before the smell of blood came over.

when he leaves

In the cafeteria, many people in the cafeteria were still envious of the female classmate who was selected by 'Luo Shiyu' and could have breakfast with 'Luo Shiyu'.

In the eyes of the classmates, Tian Changhu was eating with the female classmate, but in Zhang Ping's eyes, the female classmate was being torn apart by a ferocious and terrifying fox and being brutally eaten.

We must find out the true situation in Pearl City as soon as possible!

The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves must be confirmed!

Zhang Ping clenched his fists, returned to his dormitory, closed the door and started exercising.

"A thousand push-ups!"

He ordered to himself in his mind, and then his body began to move.

"Five hundred sit-ups!"

After a thousand push-ups, Zhang Ping was sweating profusely, but then he ordered himself again.

"Three hundred leaps of frog!"

"Come again!"

Zhang Ping's eyes were burning with fire, he gritted his teeth and roared in his heart.

He had been exercising frantically all morning.

Pearl Ability Academy teaches students how to judge whether their body is overloaded, so as long as it does not reach its limit, he will never stop!

At noon, he rested for two hours after eating, and then he got up and started boxing again.

Pearl Ability Academy has boxing classes. Before students awaken their abilities, the main training is physical fitness, boxing, and weapon use.

In addition to basic boxing, the boxing class will also teach a boxing method called "Pearl Three Fist".

This is a boxing technique created by many awakened ancestors specifically to target alienated beasts. The boxing technique initially had nine moves, but was later gradually reduced to three moves.

The name has also gradually changed from Mingzhu Nine Fist to Mingzhu Three Fist, but everyone generally just calls it 'Mingzhu Fist'.

The first move of Ming Fist is called 'Chasing the Rat'.

This is a move used to attack the bottom lane, specifically targeting mutated beasts that are smaller than themselves. This move is powerful and heavy, and it emphasizes using force to overwhelm the beast, which is to use its size advantage to crush the enemy.

The second move of Ming Fist is called ‘Running Wolf’.

This move is specifically aimed at alienated beasts that are similar in size to one's own size. It is focused on hitting the eyes, ears, spine and other vital points with one hit.

The third move of Mingquan is called ‘Prisoning Ox’.

This move requires extremely high footwork, and does not seek merit but no fault. It is specially used to target alien beasts that are much larger than itself. It mainly focuses on maneuvering and offloading force.

Although there are only three moves, there are different response methods for different situations.

Many physically enhanced awakeners have been studying these three moves all their lives. It is said that the city lord is the master of the Ming Fist, and can even kill alienated beasts above level 30 with bare hands using the Ming Fist.

Although Zhang Ping is not a physically enhanced awakened person, he has the potential to continuously improve with contract gems. His physical strength may not be weaker than that of a physically enhanced awakened person in the future, so he does not intend to give up training in boxing and weapons.

After practicing until evening, Zhang Ping went to the cafeteria to have a good meal, and then returned to his dormitory to continue practicing.

Night falls.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Ping changed into black clothes after taking a shower, and then walked out of the dormitory.

On the playground, there were students from lower grades practicing boxing in the dark of night. Zhang Ping walked out along the edge of the playground, glanced at the girls' dormitory from a distance, and silently clenched his fists hidden in his pockets.

He is still too weak now.

After leaving school, he walked through the night. Because of his talent as a nightwalker, no passers-by noticed his presence.

He walked through the streets around the school like a ghost, silently recording Tian Changhu's information in his heart.
