Chapter 248 October X Black Knife X Test
The Hunter Association is still recruiting mind exterminators.
The way to break the deadlock is to have a mind exterminator take the lead.
But at present, no mind exterminator is willing to take the biggest risk of "the first hammer".
If this matter continues to drag on, the mind space called "Looking up at the Stars" left by Elena after her death will gradually become a secret realm where time is almost stopped.
Once any creature mistakenly enters it, it is afraid that it can only enter but not exit, and will be "frozen" inside.
I just don't know to what extent this rule power enhanced by the thought after death can reach.
In itself, the number of "secret realms" in the Hunter world is limited. If a secret realm with the attribute of "time stop" is really born, it will definitely be more disadvantageous than beneficial.
Regarding this matter, although the attitude of the Hunter Association is to go all out, it has also made plans for the worst.
After all, there are many restricted areas such as the Demon Realm and the Secret Realm controlled by the World International Organization. If it really can't be solved by then, it doesn't matter if there is one more.
This is the current situation.
Moyu needs a second chance to remove thoughts to support himself, but he has no idea yet.
He can monitor Hawke's status at any time through the Rat Orb, so he has also considered whether to use the positive 10,000 swings directly and then find a place to continue practicing for a year.
Maybe something will happen in the middle, but as the time to complete the 10,000 swings becomes shorter, he won't be unable to leave if something happens.
Moyu is not in a hurry to make a decision.
During this time, let Menqi practice the ability that has just been developed.
"Is today's 'theme' fruit?"
Moyu came to the dining table and looked at the several kinds of fruits on the plate.
There are red and green, and the appearance is quite distinctive.
One kind is covered with red bumps, but the skin is crystal clear.
Another kind of fruit has green fruit patterns similar to snake patterns on the skin.
"Master, I find that fruits and vegetables are more receptive to my Qi than other ingredients."
Menqi stretched out his hands and floated on the fruit plate, and the gentle mind power flowed on the fruit like water.
"Really..."
Moyu was slightly surprised and didn't know what the principle was.
Maybe it's because plants are more pure in absorbing life energy...
Menqi concentrates on injecting "qi" into these rare wild fruits that she bought at a high price from Lin Nie's food market.
And these qi will increase the freshness of these wild fruits to a certain extent.
This is the limit of what Menqi can do at present.
As Lin Nie said, food is eaten bite by bite.
Now we can use "qi" to improve the freshness of ingredients, and in the future we may be able to use "qi" to give food various special abilities.
After all, it can't be rushed.
Just like his ten thousand swings of the knife, it also takes a step-by-step approach to achieve the final result.
"Is it my illusion..."
Moyou looked at the fruit with red bumps and whispered: "I always feel that it is brighter than before, and it looks like it is glowing."
"I think so too."
Menqi put away his telekinesis and carefully observed the red wild fruit.
There seemed to be a luster flowing on the crystal peel.
"Interesting..."
Moyu was slightly surprised, and some images passed through his mind unconsciously.
Glowing food, right...
He thought to himself.
In the following week, Moyu stayed in the city of Swadani.
During this period, he invited Sambika to dinner every day at noon, so as to make Sambika's three meals a day regular.
Although it may be useless...
Pyon has been silent, probably because she was tortured by the pile of rare Chinese characters and couldn't go out.
I think she will cherish her leisure time more in the future.
"One billion was spent in a week... The price of rare ingredients is really not to be underestimated. No wonder it only does business with rich people."
In order to let Menqi improve her Nen ability, Moyu gave the card with 7 billion Jini to Menqi.
Although he had seen the price market of high-end ingredients, spending 1 billion in a week was beyond Moyu's imagination.
But Moyu didn't care much.
Because the 7 billion was earned from the Sky Arena, and it came relatively easily.
After a week in Swadani, Moyu felt that it was time to leave.
He had considered it...
Having experienced a direct battle with Franklin before, some shortcomings were naturally exposed.
It was not just the problem of "potential energy", but also the proficiency in the application of various advanced mind skills.
Especially hard...
I haven't started learning yet, and I don't even know the basics.
So Moyu decided to continue to find a place to start swinging the sword 10,000 times a year.
With his current proficiency in swinging the sword 10,000 times, he can completely cooperate with "practice" to gradually increase the total number of "potential energy".
If conditions permit, he can even train with "week".
After all, if the sword is used as a weapon in the future, then the mind skill of attaching energy to the weapon will be particularly important.
As for the hardness that has not yet been touched...
If there is spare energy during this period, you can start preliminary training.
But Moyu didn't have too high expectations.
Swinging the sword 10,000 times itself consumes a lot of time and energy. It is unrealistic to improve the most difficult advanced skills such as "hardness" at the same time.
You know...
If you want to be able to use the skill of "hardness" freely in battle, it is not something that can be achieved by just learning it.
It needs to be used accurately within a few tenths of a second, and the difficulty can be imagined.
And someone like Xiaojie who stands still and accumulates strength...
Most of the time, the enemy will just stand there and charge you up.
The truly powerful force is to use it in an instant in the electric and flint confrontation, and then end the battle in one go.
After making the decision, Moyou said goodbye to Qi Duo and others one by one, and then took Menqi to the airport without stopping.
This time, Moyu did not plan to go to Potter Island, but to the Trickster's lair.
It was the location where the hunter was tested after the plot in the original book began, also known as the Lost Meile Wetland.
Moyu vaguely remembered that there were many rare creatures in this place, so there should be no problem with the demand for food.
Five days later.
Moyou and Menqi came to Shimeile Wetland.
As usual, they took some time to find a suitable temporary home.
After that, Moyu used up the buff of Zheng Manji's sword swing.
It currently takes "twelve hours" to complete 10,000 sword swings, but in three months or six months, the time may be shortened by a few hours.
"One year..."
Moyu stood on the edge of the river, looking focused.
I don’t know what the results will be in a year.
What is certain is that this will be a relatively long process.
perhaps--
From the moment it is completed, it is no longer difficult to materialize a long knife.
"let's start."
Moyu's whole body was enveloped in a surging aura, and he immediately swung his sword forward.
The buzzer sounded, the sharp sword light flashed, and the fine gravel on the ground spread to both sides.
Then came the second knife, the third knife...
Time passes slowly——
Half a month later.
Swadani city.
Pyorn reluctantly completed the translation work of a bunch of rare words, and suddenly felt a sense of joy of breaking through the prison.
But her joy lasted less than three minutes.
Because she found that Moyu’s phone was turned off again.
"That rascal!!!"
Pyoern, who had no idea what was going on, was immediately furious.
This time, she did not go to Chiduo, but to Sambika.
"Moyou...didn't he tell you?"
Sambika stopped what he was doing and looked carefully at Pyorn, whose face was full of anger.
"Bang!"
Hearing the familiar answer, Pjorn couldn't help but slap the table.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Sambika didn't know where he had offended Pyorn, so he apologized out of habit.
Pyorn took a deep breath and asked, "Where did that guy go?"
"Moyu didn't tell me where to go. He only said that he wanted to find a place to retreat for about a year."
"A year?!"
Pjorn was stunned.
October 31, 1994.
Over the course of nine months, the time it took Moyo to swing his sword each time changed from 4 seconds to 1 to 2 seconds.
After gradually stabilizing, it only takes less than six hours to complete 10,000 knife swings.
Compared with the considerable time shortening, what is more important is the feeling that Moyu gradually accumulated during countless swings of the sword.
From this day on, Moyu threw away his knife and swung it with his bare hands.
"1/10000"
Even without a knife in his hand, Moyu can still achieve the standard perfectly.
then--
On the twelfth day without a knife, a long black knife suddenly appeared out of thin air in Mo Yuna's forward hands.
He just let it take its course and materialized the outline of a long knife out of thin air without any difficulty.
It has no name yet, no shape given to it.
"Not urgent."
Moyu took back his hand.
The black sword that appeared just disappeared.
Then, Moyu swung his knife forward again, and a black knife suddenly appeared in his hand.
Once, twice, three times...
It appears when the sword is swung, disappears when the sword is sheathed, and it starts over and over again.
By the end of November, those hundreds of thousands of retractable and retractable sword swings had allowed Moyu to master the retractable and retractable characteristics of the materialization system.
But even now, Moyu still hasn't given a form to this black sword that has materialized naturally.
Because the system was not yet complete and mature, he never thought of using it in combat.
On this day, Moyu completed 10,000 swings of the knife in just five hours.
After nearly ten months of hard training, while letting nature take its course and materializing the outline of the black sword, Moyu's "potential energy" has also made great progress.
The original "potential energy" was only enough for him to use five transformations.
Now, it can be used about eighteen times in one go.
This is equivalent to nearly quadrupling his total potential energy.
Just like that, the time came to mid-December.
Moyo thought of the hunter test.
Last year I just started swinging the knife ten thousand times, and it took at least sixteen or seventeen hours to complete it in a day. Naturally, I couldn't participate in the hunter test.
But now it only takes more than five hours to complete 10,000 swings of the knife, which gives me enough time to participate in the hunter test.
Even if there are problems, the worst case scenario is to simply give up the qualification and wait until next year.
"Menqi, get ready, it's time to go."
After making up his mind, Moyo never hesitates.
When Menqi heard this, he started packing without asking any questions.
When they were leaving, Men Qi asked: "Master, where are we going next?"
"Go to the nearest city to find a computer to sign up for the hunter test."
Moyou looked at the thick fog ahead.
A group of butterflies fluttered in front of him.
The affinity +1 given by humans when the stars shined seemed to make him loved by most animals.
But it didn't work well in front of the ferocious beasts in the Shimeilu Wetland.
"Ah, time flies."
Menqi almost forgot about the hunter test.
In the past ten months, her mind was immersed in developing her mind ability, and she didn't notice that the registration for this year's hunter test was about to end.
The two came to a city called Lunbis and found a hotel to stay and wash up.
After that, they borrowed a computer from the hotel owner to complete the registration and got the clue of the first test location.
There is still half a month before the test starts, so there is no need to rush to find the test location.
Moyou sat on the bed in the hotel and turned on his mobile phone that had just been charged.
Beep...
As soon as he turned on the phone, the reminder sound of short messages rang continuously.
Moyu casually put the ringing phone on the table, then walked to the balcony and looked at the bustling street.
This city is close to the Shimeilu Wetland, and there are not many modern facilities. There are lush green plants on the streets and buildings.
The cracks in the bricks and stones on the street are even covered with green algae.
Moyu stared at the street scene quietly until the sound behind him was too quiet, then he walked back to the room and picked up the phone.
Most of the countless text messages came from Piyon.
Of course, most of the text messages sent by Piyon were the kind of content with no nutrition full of friendly greetings.
Moyu filtered them out with one click, and then checked the text messages sent by Light, Bisgi, Sambika and others.
There was basically nothing important, all describing the recent situation.
However, one of Light's text messages mentioned the Phantom Troupe.
About two months ago, the Phantom Troupe robbed a spaceship carrying antique treasures.
It is said that those antique treasures were excavated from an ancient ruins, which was a sensation at the time.
Who would have thought that on the way to the exhibition site, they were taken away by the Phantom Troupe.
This incident caused the anger of the country that excavated the ruins, adding to the bounty of the Phantom Troupe.
In response to what Light said, Moyu only replied with a short message "Remember the agreement".
No matter what shocking things the Phantom Troupe will do in the future, as long as Light goes to provoke the Phantom Troupe, it will be fine.
In the following days, Moyu stayed in the hotel to practice and swing the sword thousands of times.
When the time was about right, he went to the place of the first test with Menqi.
According to the clues, the first test site was a place called "Mount Alagas".
When Moyu and Menqi arrived here, it was already crowded.
Due to the hard training this year, Moyu washed away a lot of immaturity, but did not attract too much attention because of his age.
Even so——
Among the candidates participating in the hunter test, there was a guy who paid special attention to the newcomers.
"You look unfamiliar."
Dongba narrowed his eyes and looked at Moyu and Menqi who had just arrived.
Haven't slept yet...
