I changed the world.

"We didn't find it here. Let's check another room."

The two entered another room, and the flashlight beam shone inside...

"Meow!!!!"

"what is that!"

A scream rang out, and the two policemen instinctively took a step back. However, by the beam of their flashlights, they quickly saw that on the blood-stained double bed, there was a black cat with flashing red eyes staring at them.

"Oh, it's just a cat. It startled me..." the young policeman sighed and said with a self-deprecating laugh.

However, in the next moment, both police officers were frozen in place as if they had been struck by a spell.

The cat in their sight emitted black mist, and then, right before their eyes, it rapidly expanded and expanded... until it transformed into a monster with two tails, the size of a leopard!

"Meow!!!!!" The monster let out another piercing scream at them, this time opening its mouth to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"Fire! Fire now!!"

"Bang bang bang!!! Bang bang!!! Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

"what!!!!!!"

................................................

With his hands in his pockets, Zhang Jing strolled back leisurely, looking like a casually strolling passerby in a good mood. However, in reality, he wasn't as relaxed as he appeared; he was quite vigilant, keeping a close watch on his surroundings.

Having successfully acquired the jade tablet, he must have fulfilled his wish. Given the nature of wishing books, he should be wary of any unexpected side effects.

However, the wish I made this time isn't particularly difficult to fulfill, so even if there are side effects, they shouldn't be too severe. Of course, it would be best if there were no side effects at all...

"Hmm? What's that up ahead..." Zhang Jing squinted and stopped. There was a police car parked on the side of the road ahead. However, what caught Zhang Jing's attention was not the police, but the uncomfortable feeling coming from the first floor of the building next to the police car.

This was the first time he had ever felt this way. If he had to describe it, it was somewhat similar to how he felt when he faced the evil spirit on his first night in his new house. Only, it seemed to be stronger.

Thinking about the potential side effects he might face, Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He observed that this place was located in an alley in the old town, and there were no surveillance cameras installed on the road.

"Let's go take a look..." Zhang Jing made up his mind. After thinking for a moment, he took out a Peking Opera mask from the shoulder bag on his back, put it on, then made a hand seal and walked quickly towards the room that had made him feel uncomfortable...

....................................

"Bang bang bang!!! Bang bang!!!" Fear of the unknown made the two policemen pull the trigger, but almost the instant they fired, the monster had already disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, it appeared beside the young policeman. At the same time, the young policeman felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, blood gushed out, and an arm flew into the air.

"Ah!!! My hand!!!"

"Ah ...

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!" Two policemen, in extreme fear, pulled the trigger repeatedly, shouting as they quickly fired all their bullets.

"Click...click click click..." It wasn't until the clicking sound came that they realized they had run out of bullets.

"Where is the monster?" The two policemen looked around in bewilderment, the younger one being particularly pale, blood still flowing from his severed arm.

"Did you hit it?"

"I don't know, it's too fast..."

"Meow..." Just then, a clear meow came from above their heads. They looked up in horror and saw that the monster was lying on the ceiling as if it ignored the laws of gravity, in a ready-to-go pose, with a cruel smile on its cat face.

Then, the monster vanished from the spot...

"Bang!" A powerful force struck, and the two policemen felt their bodies lighten as they were sent flying by a tremendous force, crashing into the wall beside them. Next to where they had just stood, a figure with a Peking Opera mask on his face stood there.

"Tsk...not too late after all..." The figure wearing a Peking Opera mask was Zhang Jing, who was squinting at the monster crouching on the opposite wall. If he hadn't intervened, the two policemen beside him would already be torn to pieces.

However, this attack also exposed him to the sight of the two policemen.

Chapter 54 I am a Witcher

Zhang Jing stared at the monster's two wispy tails, thinking thoughtfully: "A cat demon... Fortunately, it only has two tails, so it's probably the lowest-level one."

He remembered that this monster was mentioned in the Nine Abyss Dharma Treasury; it was a type of Yin creature, usually formed from the soul of a cat that had suffered a torturous death, and was born with an immense resentment that attacked all living things. He just didn't know how it had appeared here…

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing reached to his waist and touched a waist pendant that looked like copper but wasn't. It quickly turned into pieces of fish scale-like fragments, which then layered and attached to Zhang Jing's left forearm and even his palm, enveloping it and transforming into a metal arm guard that extended to his elbow. This arm guard had a small shield-like structure on the back of the forearm, which was small and exquisite.

This is a treasure he recently discovered in the cave, which was found by the cave's servants while they were clearing the ruins. Because its spiritual essence had not yet dissipated when it was discovered, Zhang Jing carried it with him and nurtured it with his own Qi from time to time, so its condition has become much more stable.

The next second, the cat let out another shrill scream and pounced on Zhang Jing, who dodged the cat's attack.

The cat missed its first attack, then flipped over and leaped up again, pouncing on Zhang Jing. This time, Zhang Jing did not dodge, but directly struck the cat with his left arm shield.

As Zhang Jingqi slammed out his arm shield, he channeled his Qi into his left arm. Several runes on the shield lit up simultaneously, colliding violently with the onrushing cat. With a scream, the cat was slammed to the ground.

Zhang Jing seized the opportunity, channeled his Qi into his right fist, and swung it into the cat's head...

With a dull thud, the cat was struck again and completely disintegrated, turning into countless fragments. These fragments continued to decompose, eventually transforming into countless gray particles of light that gradually disappeared into the air...

In the blink of an eye, from the moment Zhang Jing knocked the two policemen flying to the moment he killed the cat demon, only a few breaths had passed. In the eyes of the two policemen, they only felt that they had somehow flown into the wall, crashing into it and getting dizzy. Then, just as they recovered, they saw the cat demon being reduced to ashes by the mysterious man's fist.

The whole process felt like watching a fantasy movie, leaving the two of them somewhat dazed and feeling that their worldview and even their philosophy of life, which they had cultivated since childhood, had been greatly impacted...

Zhang Jing took a deep breath and turned to look at the two policemen leaning against the wall. Seeing him looking over, the two policemen became somewhat nervous, but before they could say anything, Zhang Jing flashed and appeared beside the young policeman.

He simply reached out and touched the young policeman's severed arm from a distance, and the bleeding stopped instantly.

Zhang Jing was also a novice in using the technique of "Earthly Fiend Forbidden Method: Meridian Cutting". Seeing that it was effective, he nodded inwardly and turned to leave.

"Sir... please wait a moment." A voice came from the side.

Zhang Jing turned around and saw that it was the middle-aged policeman who spoke. He struggled a couple of times, but perhaps because his body was still a little numb from the impact, he couldn't stand up yet, so he just sat there and spoke.

Zhang Jing simply turned and looked at him silently, without uttering a word. His indifferent gaze instilled immense pressure in the middle-aged policeman. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life, sir. But could you please tell me your name…?"

The sound of police sirens drifted from afar. With Zhang Jing's keen senses, he knew clearly that more than one police car was rapidly approaching. Unwilling to linger any longer, he thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and uttered a single, understated sentence: "Witcher..."

Without waiting for the middle-aged policeman's reaction, he flashed out the window and disappeared into the night sky like a giant bat...

"First..." The middle-aged policeman wanted to say something more, but then he saw that the mysterious person had disappeared from the room, as if he had vanished like a ghost.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie on the middle-aged policeman's waist began to vibrate incessantly, pulling him back from his dazed state. He quickly answered the phone, and immediately a hurried questioning voice came from the other end:

"Hey, Lao Wang, it's me. We've reached the door. How's it going inside? I think I heard gunshots?"

The middle-aged policeman swallowed hard, then hesitated before saying, "Chief Li... you probably won't believe it... what we encountered..."

................................................

Ignoring how the middle-aged policeman would explain what had just happened to his superiors, Zhang Jing left the house and eventually found a bus stop, taking a bus back home.

Back in his main room, Zhang Jing summoned the Wish Book, opened it, and saw that his previous wish had indeed been fulfilled.

"Wish: I wish to obtain a pupil-type skill that I can currently use. This skill will enhance my visual perception, making it especially suitable for treasure hunting and investigating others."

That wish has been fulfilled.

5000 Wishing Points deducted.

It should be said that the deduction of wish points was acceptable to Zhang Jing. After taking back the wish book, he took out the newly obtained jade tablet from his backpack and began to study the knowledge within it with his divine sense.

Previously at the night market, Zhang Jing had confirmed that the jade tablet contained a secret technique called "True Fire Refining the Eyes," but due to the circumstances at the time, he dared not delve too deeply. Now, without those concerns, Zhang Jing began to fully decipher the jade tablet.

..............................

"This is..." In a flash, Zhang Jing suddenly found himself in a boundless void of space. In front of him was a huge star, with surging flames rising and falling on its surface like ocean waves. Golden lava spewed up into the sky from time to time, like giant waves.

The intense heat and gravity caused the void in front of him to sway, as if it were collapsing.

This was Zhang Jing's first time having the opportunity to directly confront a star. Although he knew he was in some kind of spiritual state, he could still clearly feel his own insignificance in the face of such catastrophic power. It was a fear etched into humanity's genes when faced with an irresistible force.

Forcing himself to calm down, Zhang Jing told himself that this wasn't real. After all, even with his limited knowledge of astronomy, he knew that the surface of a real star should be hundreds of times brighter than this...

He kept reminding himself while carefully observing the surrounding scenery. In the next moment, the surface of the star below him suddenly surged violently, as if some enormous force was trying to break free from the star's gravitational pull and was violently churning within it.

Chapter Fifty-Five: True Fire Refining the Eyes

This force spun, stirring up more and more waves of fire on the star's surface, eventually forming an exceptionally complex and wondrous circular pattern. Upon closer inspection, this pattern was composed of countless tiny runes.

Before Zhang Jing could get a good look at the pattern, he saw the enormous pattern shoot up from the surface of the star and hurtle straight toward him...

Zhang Jing was terrified. Under such intense flames, he was like an ant falling into a volcano, easily vaporized without a trace. However, suspended in mid-air, he had no way to escape and could only watch helplessly as the enormous flames drew closer and closer until a vast, overwhelming wave of fire enveloped him…

However, just as Zhang Jing's heart was racing and his mind went blank, the overwhelming flames that filled his entire field of vision, like a giant whale sucking in water, swirled and suddenly poured into his eyes...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!"

A burning sensation shot through Zhang Jing's eyes, and he almost thought he was going to go blind. At that moment, the flames surged into his eyes along with the tornado-like vortex, as if there was some kind of powerful suction force in Zhang Jing's eyes.

This is a truly bizarre scene, as if all the water of the East China Sea were poured into the eye of an ant. It seems to have a strong sense of incongruity, yet this is the truth...

After an unknown amount of time, the flames in the sky suddenly subsided and were completely absorbed into Zhang Jing's eyes, and Zhang Jing's almost hoarse shouts finally stopped.

The burning sensation in his eyes hadn't subsided, but having passed the initial stage, Zhang Jing gritted his teeth and endured the pain. With his mind focused, he noticed that a cultivation manual had been poured in along with the flames. Almost instinctively, he began to cultivate according to the manual...

....................................

And so, the night passed. The next morning, Zhang Jing, who hadn't slept a wink, opened his eyes. His pupils were now golden; if one looked closely, they would see densely packed runes swirling within them. A few seconds later, the golden light faded, and his eyes returned to normal.

Although he had already mastered the secret technique, he still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the illusory yet real scene he had faced before, and the intense burning sensation was still vivid in his mind.
