Myth News Forecast

Professor Zhuang pondered for a long time after learning about this fragment of the myth.

Finally, he told Du Wang to go home and rest, while he sat alone in the research room flipping through ancient books until the next morning.

After returning home, Du Wang lay in bed, pondering the mythological knowledge he had gained.

In fact, the mythological knowledge he shared with Professor Zhuang was a fragment of a story that the account 【重瞳】 had previously obtained.

As for the settlement of this top-ranked result, it is also a fragment of a mythological story.

However, this story seemed to have something to do with him.

A boy asked an immortal, "There are ten suns in the sky, scorching the earth with their heat, why do they not stop?" The immortal sighed and said, "The golden crow is the symbol of life; ten suns represent perfection." Not long after, Yi drew his bow and shot them down. Nine crows fell, and the remaining one escaped, revealing a hole in the sky. The boy was overjoyed, but the immortal wept, saying, "From this day forward, there will be no more perfection in the world, and will there ever be peace in the heavens?"

This mythological knowledge is closely related to the legend of Hou Yi shooting down the suns, but it is also quite different.

The boy asked the immortal why he didn't stop the Golden Crow from burning for ten days, when the earth was scorching hot. The immortal replied that the Golden Crow symbolized life, and ten days represented perfection.

Not long after, Hou Yi shot down nine of the crows, and the remaining golden crow also fled far away. A huge, dark hole then appeared in the sky.

The boy was overjoyed, but the immortal wept, saying that from this day forward, there would be no more perfection in the world, and no more peace in the heavens.

Du Wang found the story quite interesting because in ancient legends, the image of Hou Yi shooting down the sun has always been positive.

It was he who shot down nine golden crows, which stopped the earth from cracking, stopped the riverbeds from drying up, and allowed the people of the world to survive.

However, in the fragments of the mythological prophecy, after Hou Yi shot down nine suns, the remaining golden crows escaped.

The sky was no longer sunny; there was only a dark, gaping hole.

Even the immortals began to weep.

It's as if Hou Yi was the one who did something wrong.

More importantly, the story fragments mention the celestial realm.

"Is this celestial realm the same place as the celestial fragment in Red Cannon's mouth?"

Du Wang pondered for a while and felt that it should be a place.

"So Hou Yi shot down the sun in the sky?"

"But why are there ten suns in the heavens?"

"And where did the Golden Crow that escaped go? Could it be related to the Corpse Crow?"

He thought and thought, and the more he thought about it, the more problems he encountered.

In the end, he had no choice but to temporarily give up thinking about it.

After all, he still lacked sufficient knowledge.

"Let's focus on advancing to the next level first. Once we reach level 2, we should start thinking about how to participate in conquering the Immortal Dojo."

He hadn't forgotten the most important thing: to seize the true qi from the immortal body and let the corpse crow devour it.

If we fail this time, who knows when the next immortal's abode will appear.

……

The next day.

Du Wang sat in the training room, focusing his mind on the five points of his body, and placed the main and auxiliary relics in his palms.

When the Eyebag Demon appears, it first approaches the secondary relic and slowly devours it, then approaches the main relic and devours it.

Ten minutes later, the body of the Eyebag Demon grew two sizes larger, becoming round and plump like a tennis ball.

Then, the familiar tinnitus sounded again, this time even sharper, and at the same time, Du Wang felt his eyes burning, as if scorching sunlight was shining directly on his face.

However, these sensations quickly disappeared, far less intense than the three-legged corpse crow's previous ascension.

When he opened his eyes again, a ray of blue light inadvertently shone through them.

"Spirit Control Rank".

Promotion successful.

Cheng Huo, who was guarding outside the door, knew his teammate had advanced to the next level as soon as he saw him open his eyes. He smiled and said, "Old Du has also advanced to level 2. I wonder what his ranking is?"

Zheng Xiao, standing next to him, also looked curious: "Brother Huo, what do you think?"

Cheng Huo took out his phone and opened the rankings on the mythology website.

He flipped from back to front.

They quickly saw their ranking.

215th, Nine Ears.

"I haven't seen it yet, so it must be within the top 200." Cheng Huo continued to scroll forward, and after several scrolls, he finally saw Du Wang's ranking.

"Number 148, double pupils!"

Zheng Xiao nodded, feeling a sense of unreality.

Cheng Huo was quite shocked: "Damn, Lao Du's ranking is already higher than Cat General's."

"That's amazing?" After joining the investigation department, Zheng Xiao also got to know some of the team members.

Currently, in the mobile team, apart from Kui Xing who stands out from the crowd, the other Tier 2 superhumans are ranked between 50 and 150.

For example, there are 150 Cat Generals.

Unexpectedly, Du Wangyi surpassed him after his promotion.

This suggests that, according to the mythological prophecy, Du Wang's potential is far greater than that of General Cat.

"I wonder what kind of transformation Lao Du's abilities have undergone, tsk tsk."

Just as Cheng Huo was speculating, Du Wang closed his eyes again and began to study the abilities of the Eyebag Demon.

Mekuro's abilities have changed significantly after his advancement.

First is the [Suspended Pupil].

Before Du Wang is promoted, he can place a maximum of three Suspended Pupils, and the duration of their effect is determined by his stamina.

After promotion, the number of suspended pupils increases to five. Although it still consumes stamina, it adds several special uses.

One is the ability to switch between reality and illusion, which allows the suspended pupil to become a physical entity and explode.

Secondly, it allows for long-distance observation; the suspended pupil can see scenes further away like a telescope.

Du Wang thought these two abilities were perfect for ambushing people, such as attaching a "hanging eye" to an enemy and then detonating it when they were distracted.

It sounds very powerful, but of course there are limitations.

The biggest problem is that the transition between reality and illusion in the Suspended Pupil takes time, and even if it's very short, superhumans can always react.

However, Du Wang himself does not rely on this ability, so he only regards it as a supplement to his attack methods.

Next is the [Illusion].

After advancing, the illusion not only has a larger range of effect, but also becomes more powerful.

He no longer needs to generate illusions on his own; instead, he can guide the other person's thoughts and make them actively fall into the illusion.

It can even create dual illusions, nested layer upon layer.

However, doing so would deplete his energy very quickly, making it a losing proposition.

The reason he was able to fool Chi Pao last time was simply because he caught him off guard.

But now it's different. His abilities can be used flexibly in actual combat, and he doesn't have to worry about being easily seen through by a Tier 2 superhuman.

Finally, there's the [strange itching].

The biggest change is in this ability, because it is no longer limited to the eyes, but has evolved into phantom pain targeting the body.

No matter which limb it is, as long as it is applied, phantom pain will strike, making it impossible to defend against.

At first, Du Wang didn't think much of it, but when he thought about a man's fifth limb, he suddenly felt that this ability was too sinister and too likely to provoke hatred.

He clearly wanted to be an upright person, so why are his abilities so insidious, one after another?

"However, if we encounter Red Cannon again, we can use it on him."
