Chapter 169 Return to Reality (4100)

The sky is black, the color of rain.

Cold, painful, and fearful.

Kaxiu's brain is now like a ball of paste, as if a stick from nowhere was inserted into it and smashed it. He can no longer see the changes in the things around him. Tears and blood are mixed together, as if it is a glass full of blood-red veins.

The sound of wind and rain are isolated outside this glass.

Where Kaxiu can't see, time retreats from all directions like a tide. Everything around is frozen at that moment, the solemn expression on Mian's old face, the rain and fog like waves in the sky, and the water splashing between the cracks on the ground.

There are also large ruins with black smoke as the background.

From a distance, it looks like the most vivid and exquisite picture. Those people in that era were doing something.

And the next second, all the colors and all the outlines began to blur and deform. It was as if the heavy rain washed down and destroyed the content on the drawing board. In the end, only a ball of fused paint was left, colorfully soaked into the paper.

In a daze, Kaxiu sank into the deep sea.

"Oh, we are a group of poor people with no money..."

"Maybe we are dressed in rags and look ridiculous..."

"But we walk side by side and hum songs."

"Shoulder to shoulder!"

"What will happen tomorrow? I really don't know..."

"Maybe there will be a lot of troubles, maybe a lot of sadness~"

The distant jazz music floated in the air with a gentle tune, as if even the breathing slowed down. On the rectangular counter, a black celluloid LP record was quietly rotating. The twelve-inch black record has stereo sound.

It can perfectly express the melody of the music.

In a trance, it's like sitting next to the burning fire in the fireplace, accompanied by the crackling sound of firewood, and a little night snow is floating outside the window. And you lie on the comfortable sofa, watching the pictures scrolling on the black and white TV, with hazy tobacco shreds on your fingertips.

There is also a fluffy white cat sleeping in your arms.

Very quiet, very comfortable, a little too comfortable.

"Huh!"

Kaxiu, who was lying on the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, the bright and warm midday sun almost blinded him on the spot. Kaxiu suddenly closed his eyes, like a vampire who hates the sun, and covered his face with his palms.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and stand up in a trance.

The sky of Black Rain Villa was too dark. The black rain in the rainy world had never stopped since the moment it appeared. Kaxiu suddenly returned to the real world and felt very uncomfortable.

He put his hands on the balcony railing, looked up at the distant sky, and looked around. The pure blue was mixed with white clouds, like a bunch of soft marshmallows. The residential wall was very white, and the leaves of more than a dozen ornamental trees were green and shiny.

The breeze blew on my face, bringing a warm feeling.

Kaxiu pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, trying to smile as if to release the pressure, but he couldn't smile.

Maybe he stayed in the dark environment of Black Rain Villa for too long, and was soaked in the rain, and the whole person became gloomy.

If he wants to recover the cheerful and talkative self in the past, it will probably take a lot of time to adapt little by little. After all, he stayed in the retrospective era for several years this time.

For the real world, it was just a blink of an eye, but for Kaxiu, this period of time really happened to him, and there were a few more marks on the rings of his life.

These marks are not age, not years.

But experience.

When a person has gone through an experience completely, he will become different from before, and the change has already happened in the process.

"Ka Ka Ka..."

Suddenly, a series of bone sounds in the body made Kaxiu come back to his senses. A surging hot current enveloped every corner of the body from all directions, and it felt like the whole person was immersed in a hot spring. The warm spring water brushed over his muscles and bones, without causing any pain, but only a burst of comfort.

Kaxiu blinked, and he realized that the effect of the ability to recall had come. His physical condition in the real world would be strengthened.

His body was sweating slightly, gradually soaking the clothes on his body, and a faint white steam passed through the gaps in his sleeves.

When the steam dissipated, Kaxiu's entire body did not become larger and stronger as in the previous times. Instead, he shrank a circle this time. Although his skeleton remained the same, the strong muscles of his whole body shrank. At this time, Kaxiu's figure tended to be streamlined, and his arms and thighs were still strong and sturdy.

He clenched his fists slightly, and a sense of familiarity came to him. The blood accelerated for the third time, and the body of a boxer at the level of mastery was in full swing. The three nodes, the center of the eyebrows, the navel, and the heart, were circulating blood.

Every moment, the body seemed to be slightly strengthened.

Kaxiu became thinner, but stronger!

He weighed even more than before, and the density of his muscles and bones automatically completed the compression. Every inch of Kaxiu's muscles and meridians will generate more power than before.

When he thought of this, he subconsciously looked at the upper right corner.

"Wind Elephant Fist: Elephant Group 76.6% (three levels)"

"Elephant Soul Secret Art: Insect Bite 78.3% (three levels)"

If Kaxiu remembered correctly, the moment before he left the retrospective era, the level of the Elephant Soul Secret Art was the second chapter of Insect Bite 72.8%. And now, it has increased by about 5.5% at a time.

The more you practice secret martial arts, the harder it is. Every 1% in the back may be equivalent to 10% of the progress in the front.

But, even so.

The 5.5% progress of the Bug Bite Chapter is still not enough to compare with the second blood acceleration from zero. The problem is actually very obvious. Kaxiu can bring back the real world by using the secret power of the Black Rain Villa to accelerate his own practice! But the effect will be greatly reduced, and it can only produce a fraction of the original improvement.

Kaxiu sighed slightly. It was not as easy as he imagined. The ability to backtrack did not give him the opportunity to use loopholes to level up crazily. Otherwise, he could keep going back to the era of the Black Rain Villa and use this mechanism to stack his physique crazily. Every time he backtracks, it is a stacking. It is estimated that it will not take long for the missiles to withstand it.

Of course, it is a pity. But this situation is actually very good. It can only be said that it is not the best result but a medium result. It is a bit disappointing that it did not meet expectations.

Kaxiu immediately adjusted his mentality and looked at the upper right corner again. The biggest gain of his backtracking this time was not the improvement in physique, but various kinds of powerful skills.

And...

With a rustle, Kaxiu tore off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body. On the stone-like gray-white chest surface, a Ouroboros logo was vivid.

Wisdom Rune.

Successfully brought back to the real world!

Effect 1: Increase the upper limit of the skills.

Effect 2: Inspiration bursts, breaking through the bottleneck.

Effect 3: Can integrate highly compatible skills.

∞: □□□□□□□□□□□

The long and thin blank progress bar is the same as before.

In the rules and restrictions of the Wisdom Rune, everything in the ancient mythology is cyclical and unchanged, and it cycles once a year.

That is, the Wisdom Rune can produce spiritual blood once a year, which strongly assists Kaxiu's secret martial arts or skills training.

When Kaxiu first learned about the Wisdom Rune, he had several questions. Which one has a higher priority, the retrospective ability or the wisdom rune? Is the retrospective era and the real world the same world?

And now, Kaxiu can give himself an answer.

The retrospective era and the real world are not the same world.

The priority of the retrospective ability is high!

So...

The Wisdom Rune has been refreshed!!!

It is reasonable and convincing.

Kaxiu is proud of his ability to find bugs, and the retrospective ability is also his ability. It is not an exaggeration for him to say that he has been able to find bugs and gain benefits all by himself. This is a fact in front of him.

It cannot be refuted.

The biggest gain of this retrospective is undoubtedly the Wisdom Rune. It can be called Kaxiu's second plug-in.

It even surpasses the Demon Shadow!

Tired... Destroy it...

Seeing that he returned to the real world and the Wisdom Rune cooldown refresh verified his idea, Kaxiu smiled.

He continued to look at the status bar of the secret weapon progress with satisfaction.

"Stone Armor Skill: Rock Armor Minor Success (three levels)"

"Lion Roar Breathing: Not Mastered (one level)"

"Mind Eye Secret Skill: Not Mastered (three levels)"

"Midak Balance Destruction Skill: Minor Success (one level)"

"Blue Wind Airflow: 90.2% of the second level (two levels)"

The above are related to secret martial arts and are closely related to Kaxiu's combat effectiveness. In addition, there are some bonuses.

Three cold weapon skills.

Tufa Slashing Sword: Second Level Great Success (three levels)

Midak Cross Sword: Second Level Minor Success (three levels)

Yaka Bloody Battle Axe: Second Level Entry (three levels)

Solo three corrupt knights provided by the executioner, which does not have a big impact on Kaxiu's combat effectiveness. At most, it is like a person riding a bicycle suddenly learning to skateboard, and has learned an extra skill.

And it cannot improve the performance of the bicycle like the Mind Eye Secret Skill or Stone Armor Skill, making his main job more powerful.

However, these three cold weapon skills are not useless.

For example, the Midak Balance Destruction Technique was extracted from the Midak Cross Sword. A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade.

It is always right to accumulate more.

As long as you can distinguish the primary and the secondary, it doesn't matter how many skills you have.

Among the skills that are useful to Kaxiu, the Lion Roar Breathing Method and the Heart Eye Secret Technique have just been acquired, and he has not had time to practice them.

The Midak Balance Destruction Technique is still being used proficiently, waiting for the Heart Eye Secret Technique to reach a certain stage, and the two will be integrated and upgraded.

The Stone Armor Technique originally had only two levels, but after using the Wisdom Rune, it broke through the bottleneck and reached the third level. Later, with the help of the masters of the Northern Secret Martial Arts, Kaxiu entered the third level.

The body surface defense has been upgraded to a higher level, and it performed well in the subsequent Black Rain Villa battle. Except for the last meteorite radiation, Kaxiu was only slightly injured in the previous battles.

The effect of this hard Qigong is obvious to all.

In addition, there is the Blue Wind Airflow. It broke through 90% of the second level, which is the result of Kaxiu's day-to-day efforts over the past few years. Because this skill cannot be improved by the power of the secret soul, he does not want to use the power of the secret soul to improve it.

Fortunately, Kashu originally thought that it would be a long way to help Teacher Lixia to improve the third to fifth levels of the Blue Wind Airflow, but now the Wisdom Rune is obviously a timely help.

Maybe it may not be improved now, but there will definitely be a chance later. It is much more hopeful than the original slim hope.

In addition, in the retrospective era. Kashu has been able to use the Blue Wind Airflow to rub the Rasengan fiercely, and the completion rate is not bad. At least seven or eight times out of ten are successful, which shows that his control has reached a higher level and the power has increased significantly.

To sum up, Kaxiu's strength has made several small leaps.

It's hard to say about his combat power, but his defense is definitely the first tier below the fighter level. He is very thick and durable, and even if he is strafed by a heavy machine gun, Kaxiu can probably withstand it for a while.

A rare cold wind blew from the east, and Kaxiu's slightly loose pants swayed. He immediately returned to the living room from the half-moon-shaped white balcony and took a quick shower.

His still somewhat dazed mind gradually came to his senses.

After changing into a set of tight casual clothes, Kaxiu sat in the living room and listened to music for a while. Then he stood up, the spinning record stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.

He took a sip of black tea and calmed his nerves.

To be honest, after spending several years in the retrospective era, he had even forgotten some things in the real world. Now he needs to recall it carefully and organize his subsequent thoughts in detail.

For this purpose, Kaxiu prepared a pen and paper.

He pondered for a while and began to write in the notebook.

First, I joined the Spade "A" organization a few days ago in the real world, and became the fourth-in-command of the assassination department, Diamond "J". And at the welcome ceremony, the assassination department proposed to retaliate against the Sand Dust Organization and destroy the other party's antique transportation route. The antique transfer warehouse is in the north of Black Sand City, and the exact location is unknown. Once the detailed information is out, the assassination department will send Violet to notify me to take action.

Second, it was also in these few days that I came into contact with the Demon Shadow and the Shadowless Organization. Yesterday in the real world, I sold a claw-level Demon Shadow to the Shadowless Organization. By the way, there seems to be a red-eyed Demon Shadow still locked up in the basement.

It is not clear what the Demon Shadow may do next, and the Shadowless Organization is also observing it, both of which are unknown.

Third, when I returned last time, I robbed a batch of antiques of unknown origin from the Sand Dust Organization, and four of them seemed to come from the same place. This needs to be explored.

Fourth, if I remember correctly, I just saved Matthew not long ago. Matthew's father Jason controls the Connan Company, a powerful company that mainly deals in alcoholic beverages.

Jason's youngest son Finn is considered his disciple.

Fifth, and the most important point here.

The current time is 2:00 p.m. on July 11, 156 of the Red Li Federation calendar, and the last time it was backtracked was July 3. In other words, there are more than 50 days before the next manifestation of the Demon Shadow.

Safety...

Kaxiu is afraid that his sense of time will be confused, and he will forget the time of the Demon Shadow's manifestation and have to fight the Demon Shadow with a 50-50 life and death battle.

That's not worth it.

The Demon Shadow lost only a small life, but Kaxiu lost the sense of honor of 100% success in "bugs"!

When he thought of this, he pinched his nose subconsciously.

A black streak on his arm suddenly attracted Kaxiu's attention.

"Huh?"

Don't worry, brothers, there is still one chapter! Wait for me!

Thanks to the book friend Jianqian for the 100 starting coins reward, and thanks to Yuzhong Luodie for the 100 starting coins reward.

In addition, I recommend a friend's book. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
