Destiny is ashes

Chapter 73 Fate Improvement
"Thank you for the gift."

Now is not the time to practice magic. After putting the jade slip in his arms, An Jing shifted his gaze to Huo Qing, who was just breathing a sigh of relief, with a strange look in his eyes.

Although he "saved" Huo Qing's life, to put it bluntly, he simply treated his wounds, and his subsequent actions had little to do with rescue.

Huo Qingtong came into the city with me and treated me to a meal, which was enough. At most, he could do some good deeds as a reward, but it was far from the point of giving me secret techniques.

This desire to repay kindness seems a bit too strong?

Thinking of this, An Jing felt that something was not right with Huo Qing's other situation as well.

Huo Qing's strength was not strong, his energy was just like a thread, although it was almost as strong as a river, but he still failed to break through.

But he has a solid foundation and a strong body.

Although Huo Qing looks depressed and dark-faced, that is because he works too hard every day - if he is not physically strong, most people would have died suddenly if they did what he did.

From this point of view, Huo Qing’s talent for cultivation is actually quite good, but it was delayed by the gang.

Just as Master Liu said, he was not cut out for gang membership. He was obviously the kind of person who needed to meditate and study in order to achieve something, rather than a genius like An Jing who could practice at any time under any circumstances.

Huo Qing is still young, and hanging out in gangs is clearly a waste of his time.

Apart from anything else, if An Jing hadn't helped him this time, he would probably have died in the wilderness, quietly.

Even though his parents died early and the uncles who raised him were all gang members, he shouldn't be so obsessed.

He obviously has his own ideals and pursuits - judging from his passion for food, Huo Qing should have a vision for his future.

But for some reason he let it go...

Whatever.

An Jing raised his head and said to Huo Qing seriously: "My last name is An."

After saying this, he continued to eat, using the Qi circulation path of Huo Qing that he had just observed to circulate the essence in his body to digest the food.

On the other side, Huo Qing was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Yes! Brother An!"

He understood An Jing's real meaning - regardless of favors, from now on they could try to be friends.

One serving of soup noodles was definitely not enough for An Jing, so Huo Qing paid the bill twice.

Although he was short of money, he could still afford the breakfast shop's fee, so he considered it as a treat to his friend.

"okay."

After gulping down a large bowl of soup, An Jing put down the bowl, looked at Huo Qing and said, "Although I saved your life, you and I both know that I just need you to ask for some news in the city."

"You have repaid this favor with your secret method. You don't owe me anything. We can be considered acquaintances and friends."

He stood up and said, "Next, just tell me where I can sell these spoils - next time we meet, if I have done good deeds, maybe I will treat you to a meal."

"Anyway, we'll see each other someday if we're lucky enough!"

"That's fine." Huo Qing was a little embarrassed at first, but it was obvious that he felt relieved: "Then, goodbye!"

"As for the spoils you mentioned, I do know a manager of a recycling hut, and he's also one of my elders... What's the matter?"

He stood up and originally wanted to bow to An Jing and say goodbye, and recommend a recycling site to An Jing, but he found that An Jing's expression at this time was very subtle.

At this moment, An Jing sensed... that deep in his heart, the source of his soul, the place where his destiny lies, there was a sudden vibration.

A wave of... perhaps insignificant, but real 'feedback'!
"Fuxie!" At this moment, An Jing muttered to himself in his sea of ​​​​consciousness, with disbelief: "My fate seems to have improved just now?!"

"Yes, indeed!" Even the Fuxie Sword Spirit was shocked. He was in a peaceful sea of ​​​​divines, and his perception was very clear, so he was even more shocked: "What on earth did you do to improve your fate?"

"You must know that fate is determined by heaven. It is extremely difficult to improve your essence after awakening. Most people just develop and utilize it to increase their cultivation!"

Increasing your essence and improving your own cultivation is actually very simple.

The essence of fate can be regarded as a multiplier of skills.

For example, when an ability is activated, the fate will triple the ability, and the cultivation level is the value of the ability. For example, an ability of one hundred plus the blessing of the fate is the power of three hundred.

The essence of destiny has increased from three times to three point three times. With the same level of cultivation, one can exert three hundred and thirty percent of the power.

Increasing your cultivation means going from one hundred to one thousand, and adding your destiny, it becomes the power of three thousand.

It is easy to increase your cultivation, and in the early stage, you must focus on improving your cultivation. However, when your cultivation can no longer be increased, only by studying the essence of your fate can you better and more effectively improve your power.

"Is it because I saved Huo Qing?"

An Jing couldn't figure this out. Could it be that Huo Qing's death originally represented the end of some great disaster? If he survived, would he create some earth-shattering disaster?

So by saving him, heaven will be moved and his destiny will be improved?

Obviously, this was not the case. An Jing was a little uneasy about this anomaly, so much so that even Huo Qing could see that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Huo Qing didn't have time to continue paying attention to An Jing's mistakes.

Because his troubles have also arrived.

"Ah Qing? You're still alive?!"

Across the street, a middle-aged man's shocked and puzzled voice was heard.

An Jing and Huo Qing turned their heads together and saw a middle-aged man who was so sturdy that he could be called fat. He was looking at Huo Qing with a mixture of disbelief and surprise: "Oh my God, I heard from Lao Jing and the others that you were shot and fell out of the car. I didn't expect you to be alive!"

Behind this man were several guards who were fully armed and had a fierce temperament. Their straw raincoats were covered with traces of smoke and fire.

There are white tiger patterns on their clothes. They are members of the Day Tiger Gang. They have high status and participated in the gang fight last night.
"Uncle Big Gun!"

Huo Qing turned around in surprise, as if he wanted to go forward to greet the other person.

An Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this man's shock and excitement came from the surprise that Huo Qing was alive.

But he could see that the shock on the other person's face was real shock, mixed with fear and trepidation, as well as a kind of 'relief' that the mistake could be rectified.

This feeling...

"stop!"

With a loud shout, An Jing raised his hand, concentrated his energy and activated his sword finger. The chopsticks he was holding suddenly flew out like a bullet, with a sound of breaking through the air, and shot straight at the hand of a guard who was secretly taking out a dagger from his arms behind the burly man.

With a click, the dagger was knocked away by An Jing, and Huo Qing, who was originally planning to walk towards the man and give him a hug, suddenly stopped and his pupils contracted.

"Uncle Big Gun, what does this mean?!"

He took a step back, looking at the guard who had his dagger knocked out by An Jing and was frowning, "Brother Dao, what are you doing with the knife?"

Huo Qing is acquainted with everyone on the other side.

But now, every familiar person looks so strange.

"Fool." An Jing took a step forward and said coldly: "Don't you understand this? They want to kill you!"

"What happened?" Master Liu and his daughter-in-law also came out from the soup stall. Seeing the confrontation between An Jing and Da Qiang, they were also shocked and asked, "Da Qiang, what do you mean by this? What did Xiao Huo do wrong that he had to resort to such extreme means?"

He walked forward, as if trying to mediate: "We are all fellow villagers, there is nothing we can't talk about, why bother... Ouch!"

Before he could finish his words, Master Liu fell to the ground, hitting his head on a rock and bleeding.

"Too much nonsense! It's none of your business to interfere in gang affairs!"

Impatiently reaching out his hand and pushing him to the ground, the big man, who was called 'Big Gun' by everyone, turned fierce and said, "Huo Qing, you are guilty! The shortage of supplies in the gang has been discovered!"

"If you were dead, then it would be considered a done deal, but since you are not dead, come back with me and wait for your punishment!"

"Are you kidding me..."

Huo Qing obviously didn't understand what he had done wrong, and behind the big spear, the guard who first took out the dagger took a step forward and stretched out his hand to grab Huo Qing's heart.

It was obvious that these people had never thought of capturing Huo Qing alive... they just wanted to kill Huo Qing on the spot!
At that time, whether Huo Qing fled for fear of crime and was killed by them, or committed suicide by being shot seven times in the back, it would all be up to them to decide!

However, the moment before the other party showed obvious hostility, An Jing took action!

Bang!
Taking a step forward, An Jing came between Huo Qing and the spear guards as if teleporting.

He clenched his right fist and unleashed a powerful force that could penetrate armor.

The next moment, before anyone could react, the surging internal energy and the iron fist as strong as fine steel slammed down on the guard's face covered by the visor!
