CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: OBSERVATION METHOD AND LIFE PEARL

Illustrated Handbook!?

Fang Qingyu’s eyes were tightly shut, with a slight frown.

It took quite a while... to understand the function of this Illustrated Handbook.

Simply put.

Slay the Life Specters, refine their souls into ink.

The genealogy map can record the first slain Life Specter into the Illustrated Handbook, thereby earning Skill Points.

And upon collecting the same type of Life Specter in the Illustrated Handbook.

There will be even richer rewards.

Immediately, Fang Qingyu looked at the newly opened page of the Illustrated Handbook.

In the upper left corner, its name was written.

[Navel Fiend★1]

However, there was also a star mark behind it, indicating its strength.

Then he continued reading.

The Navel Fiend belongs to the Resentful Infant Species: Mother-Child Coexistence Type.

There are a total of 7 of them.

Meaning he still needs to kill six more of the same type of Life Specters to unlock the collection reward.

So, what are the other 6...?

Just as Fang Qingyu thought of this, the pages suddenly flipped automatically to the next one.

In the upper left corner was the name, [Eye Grudge★1]

But there was no ink painting below, obviously waiting for Fang Qingyu to hunt and fill it in.

Moreover, there were still five more of them, all with their names marked out.

Bone Marrow Gu, Finger Gu, Fontanel Nightmare, Birthskin, Fetal Prison.

In total, there were 3 at 1★, 2 at 2★, and 1 at 3★ remaining.

It seems that collecting all 7 of the Mother-Child Coexistence Type Life Specters is not a simple task.

Even at 1★ strength, it’s stronger than he is now.

The difficulty of a three-star is hard to imagine.

Just as these thoughts came up.

The doctor next to him suddenly spoke.

"You can strike now."

The next second, Fang Qingyu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

His mind gradually sank into darkness...

...

"Beep~Beep~Beep~"

He didn’t know how long it had been, but Fang Qingyu’s eyelashes trembled.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The smell of disinfectant pierced his nostrils.

"You’re awake?"

Before Fang Qingyu could respond, a clear and crisp voice sounded beside him.

A nurse stepped forward to check the status of the instruments, then picked up a walkie-talkie.

"Patient 33 has woken up."

"Is this... a hospital?"

Fang Qingyu frowned slightly, sitting up, only to find himself bandaged like a mummy, with pain all over, especially his right hand.

"Hey, don’t move!"

The nurse quickly reminded him.

"This is a hospital, you don’t need to worry, you’re safe now."

But as she spoke, she stepped back.

Is this right...

Fang Qingyu looked at her strange reaction, examining himself.

Covered in white bandages, there didn’t seem to be any problem.

But soon, the door suddenly opened.

A man and a woman walked in.

"Instructor Zheng, Instructor Qin."

Fang Qingyu wasn’t too surprised to see them. Last night in the alley, the Martial Arts Hall people were the first to arrive, it already indicated... the Martial Arts Hall definitely knows something.

"You should lie down first."

Qin Jiao, who had been with Fang Qingyu for a longer time, spoke first.

Fang Qingyu obediently did as told.

Seeing someone had arrived, the nurse retreated out.

"Do you know you have a nickname now?"

Qin Hui sat down and instead of talking about the alley incident, he teased.

"?"

"The Explosive Truck."

"Huh?"

Fang Qingyu was puzzled upon hearing it.

What does this nickname have to do with him?

"Among the Martial Artists, you’re the first to dare rush into the Navel Fiend’s embrace." Zheng Lin chimed in with a smile.

Fang Qingyu thought about the battle at that time and spoke truthfully.

"I had no choice. I felt it was going to unleash a big move. If I didn’t stop it, I would die, so I could only close in."

Back then, both the Guard Skill and Weakness Gaze activated simultaneously.

The action was instinctive.

There was simply no time to think.

"Your combat intuition is very accurate, that was indeed your only chance." Qin Hui nodded in agreement listening to him.

"Did you see the process?"

Fang Qingyu suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Oh, actually, just when you began fighting the Navel Fiend, our people had already arrived. They intended to intervene, but... you alone killed the Navel Fiend." Qin Hui explained.

"So who exactly are you guys?"

Fang Qingyu followed up with his question.

Qin Hui and Zheng Lin exchanged glances, simultaneously taking out a credential.

"Divine Management Bureau, third action group preparatory members, Qin Hui, Zheng Lin."

"Divine Management Bureau?"

Fang Qingyu was taken aback, does anyone actually come up with such a name?

"It’s actually a combat agency specifically targeting Life Specters, directly under the Federation."

Qin Hui explained by the side.

"The Martial Arts Hall is considered our part-time role, but it is also a Federal institution, equivalent to a school training and educating Life Specter hunters for young people who want to learn martial arts for free."

"Otherwise, do you really think you can learn so many real things for eighteen thousand?!"

"Uh..."

Fang Qingyu was at a loss for words.

To be honest, it makes sense.

The opportunity to learn so many good things, eighteen thousand is practically nothing.

"So after learning, do we all have to go hunt Life Specters?"

Fang Qingyu suddenly thought of this point.

"No need, it’s entirely up to you."

Qin Hui shook his head.

"Because when trainees reach 300KG, if they want to progress further, they’ll have to learn the Observation Method, and to learn that, you need this."

Qin Hui said as he pulled out a transparent pearl from his pocket.

"Life Pearl."

"Only drops from Life Specters."

Fang Qingyu took the pearl, feeling its coolness in his hand, looking like a glass marble if not observed carefully.

But upon closer observation.

You would find strands of shifting light within.

The term Observation Method, he had heard it once from Ying Kai last night.

At that time...

He said that the Observation Method signifies stepping into the Extraordinary!!

"So, when official trainees meet the power criterion, we’ll tell you about the existence of Life Specters, and let you decide whether to be an ordinary person, or continue to advance on the path of martial arts."

Fang Qingyu looked at the pearl and, after hearing Qin Hui’s words, suddenly found both of them silent, staring straight at him.

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

"You two, don’t tell me you think I’ll halt my martial arts journey at 300KG???"

With the existence of the genealogy map, the path to the Extraordinary is right in front of him.

How could he possibly let Life Specters interrupt his martial practice to become an ordinary person?

Even though with the genealogy map, he could live a life of wealth.

But how could that compare to...

The fleeting splendor beyond Extraordinary!?

Hearing Fang Qingyu’s words, Qin Hui smiled, relieved, and turned to Zheng Lin.

"I won, pay up."

"Tch."

Zheng Lin chuckled, but she paid willingly.

"No, really..."

Fang Qingyu shook his head with a wry smile at the scene.

"One last thing, sign this agreement."

Qin Hui blissfully took the money and handed over a document.

[Confidentiality Agreement]

The main content was that the existence of Life Specters must not be disclosed to any ordinary person in any form.

Fang Qingyu signed without hesitation.

Although he didn’t understand why the Federation kept the existence of Life Specters such a tight secret, it wasn’t something he needed to consider now.

"Alright then, we’ll take our leave, you get some good rest."

"The incident from last night is still under investigation."

"I’ll bring you more information on Life Specters next time."

After signing the agreement, they didn’t stay long.

Leaving Fang Qingyu alone in the room.

Since the emergence of Life Specters, and the words of the two instructors earlier.

Fang Qingyu understood a few things.

No wonder Instructor Lin and Rat both said they would wait for him in the Elite Class...

It’s probably not because they were worried about his Talent.

But rather... they feared because of the existence of Life Specters.

He wouldn’t go.

But their worries were unnecessary.

The existence of Life Specters.

Instead of frightening Fang Qingyu.

Made him even more thrilled...
