My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

As Weiss sensed the subtle changes within his body, he murmured to himself with some surprise.

That's right.

If the 7th-tier Storm Potion brings a direct boost to all attributes and extraordinary energy...

The result of these years of insights is an improvement in the efficiency of activating abilities.

A simpler and easier-to-understand explanation is—

It's somewhat like reducing mana cost and cooldown reduction.

"Surprisingly, it's not bad..."

"If there are more options later, it's not impossible to choose one."

Weiss reluctantly retracted his previous criticism of this option.

Then, filled with anticipation, I opened the seventh round of fate options once again.

All right......

There is still no secret method for one-click learning this time.

Moreover, the five options in this seventh round are not much different from those in the sixth round.

The only change is that one of the options has been replaced.

The three-year reflection he had just chosen had disappeared, replaced by a completely new option he had never seen before.

To deeply explore and enhance the functions of a contained forbidden object.

"what?"

"This seems pretty good?"

Weiss's eyes lit up.

This time, he didn't dawdle and hesitate for a long time like he did when choosing the sixth round.

I simply removed that option.

The next second, a virtual panel, resembling the character star-up system in a reskinned mobile game, slowly appeared before his eyes.

In the very center of the panel is an empty recess.

Weiss did not hesitate at all.

He directly brought up the person going against the flow and pressed its layer into the groove.

After all, going against the grain is an indispensable part of his ultimate weapon.

As for the other wind-resistant garment...

It's more of a trinket; it's only good for hiding your identity or fooling people.

Moreover, it comes with extremely serious side effects, making it impossible for it to take up the enhancement slots of those who go against the tide.

Wei Xiao: Hahahahahahaha!!

Oh, by the way.

"And Wei Xiao too..."

If this guy hadn't suddenly burst out laughing with schadenfreude...

Weiss had almost completely forgotten about this thing.

Wei Xiao: ......

Soon, the phantom of the person moving backwards in the center of the groove suddenly burst out with a soft white light.

Immediately afterwards, on the pages of the World Book, the panel of the person who went against the tide slowly changed—

Those who go against the tide (numbers 537→501)

Ability Details: When activated, it will freeze the flow of all nearby natural phenomena, including but not limited to raindrops, streams, breezes, clouds, flowers, and snow. The longer it is activated, the greater the mental energy consumption.

New feature: When the power of the person going against the flow reaches the maximum threshold, while freezing the surrounding natural world, the holder's thinking will be accelerated slightly, up to 2 times faster.

Upon seeing this brand-new feature, Weiss's mood instantly became somewhat relaxed and pleasant.

Although the ability to accelerate thinking seems more suited to melee-type extraordinary sequences.

But it can be developed gradually.

After all, those who go against the flow are almost a perfect match for their own sequence.

And this is only for today.

The ranking of those who went against the tide jumped from 599 to 501, a leap of nearly a hundred places.

This feeling of satisfaction is like instantly upgrading a premium weapon to Elite 5 after spending real money. Anyone know what I mean?

Weiss even faintly sensed a glimmer of light emanating from the person moving in the opposite direction.

It was a pleasant sight.

On the contrary, Wei Xiao had completely withdrawn by now, and his mood had visibly wilted.

Weiss ignored the milk dragon thing.

With the two rounds of fate options completed, we've finally reached the last stage of this enhancement.

That is, the small gift box that Xingzhong threw to him at the ninth hour.

Although the exploration progress of the World Books has surged due to this Star Clock gift pack, it shouldn't be anything bad.

But Weiss still felt it was best to be cautious.

Otherwise, if it turns out to be a forbidden item with an extremely high number and a sealed designation, we're doomed.

Not only will it affect myself, but it could also hurt Elune...

So he tiptoed out of Elune's room, carrying the box stealthily.

However......

Lying on the bed, Elune relentlessly kept her gaze fixed on Whis's figure with the moon's gaze.

I will keep my eyes on you.

.........

Meanwhile, Weiss, completely unaware of Elune's surveillance, had already arrived on the first floor.

He chose a small lounge in the corner that was usually deserted, and gently closed the door behind him.

Then, Weiss placed the box on the table, activated the three-layer wind ring protection, and then carefully opened the small gift box.

"..."

"..."

After opening it, nothing particularly unusual popped up.

Only a single, jet-black feather lay quietly inside.

The feather was jet black, so dark it seemed to absorb all the surrounding light. It lay quietly on the soft cushion, exuding a strange and beautiful charm.

"A feather?"

Weiss frowned slightly.

He subconsciously reached out and moved closer, and was immediately surprised to find that something was wrong.

It turned out that this feather was not the ordinary black color I knew.

It is a pure colorless substance!

It's like the overall effect that only astronauts in deep space can experience.

It wasn't darkness, but nothingness—

Indeed, the moment Weiss's palm overlapped with the luster of the feather, he couldn't even see his own palm anymore.

Then, in an instant.

Weiss's gaze suddenly froze.

Without him noticing, a pitch-black, ominous-smelling virtual page, much like the system of the World Book, forcibly covered his entire field of vision.

Then, several lines of bloody and eerie handwriting appeared on the dark page.

You are being watched by the "caged bird".

Please select the 9th-tier Killing Prodigy sequence you wish to become—

1. Swordsman

2. Chef

3. Ranger

4. Madman

5. Dancer

6. Steel Fist

7. Devil

8. Gunner

9. Tomahawk

10. The Man with One Arm

11. Competitive Eater

Eleven sequence names, radiating a blood-red glow, were neatly arranged on that pitch-black page.

Weiss was still in shock and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

Then, after a long while, I suddenly woke up with a start.

"Wait, this thing, could it be—"

"One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World..."

"A caged bird's feathers, perhaps!???"

..

For those of you who clicked in later, can you see the comments for this chapter? I don't know why, but it seems like the comments are stuck. I don't know if the app crashed or if it's because I uploaded an image that caused the problem.

—It's alright, it's probably temporarily hidden because of the college entrance exam, it will be visible again in a few days.

Chapter 70: Embarking on a Slaughter, the Name of the Moonlit Thunder Emperor! (7000 words)

Four extraordinary systems—

Extravagance, conquest, slaughter, nature.

Although these four systems are essentially the same, there are still some significant differences between them.

The most unique aspect of its killing system lies in—

By killing other superhumans, you can gain a boost to all your attributes!

If we kill a few more, the boost will be almost as strong as taking a potion.

Of course, if the killing sequence itself wants to advance, it still cannot bypass the step of taking a magic potion.

What was truly built up through massive mass slaughter was another separate, independent region.

Therefore, the killing system has always been recognized as a blank slate without any mechanism.

But they actually share a common mechanism across all kill sequences—

The increase in the number of people with an independent ride zone.

The more you kill, the stronger you become; there is no upper limit.

"..."

"..."

At this moment, staring at the dazzling array of kills before him, Weiss was briefly shocked before belatedly realizing what was happening.
