Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 61: The Sudden Call... The Second Skill!_1

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Sudden Call... The Second Skill!_1

"...Honey, honey, what I just saw, it must have all been real, right?" The couple from Nie Family Village, whose home had a wall knocked down, stared in stunned disbelief at this moment.

The husband felt parched and tongue-tied; it took him a while to respond, "It must have been real, I think!"

The scenes that had just unfolded were witnessed by both of them.

Originally, they saw a group from the Imperial Court unable to defeat a single zombie.

This had terrified them both immensely.

Even the officials from the Imperial Court were unable to deal with such ghosts and goblins.

What chance did they, mere mountain villagers, have of surviving?

At that time,

they felt utterly hopeless.

However, when they saw Fan Wu take action, they were completely dumbfounded!

The zombie that had been tossing the Imperial officials around...

was being trampled on the ground by Fan Wu!!

The stark contrast was too intense.

"That, that hero. I remember he was wearing a Daoist robe; he’s a Taoist Priest," the husband murmured in shock. "So, is this how Taoists fight and kill ghosts and monsters?"

"I also remember it was this Taoist Priest who saved those in the village who’d been poisoned, including our own dumbstruck child. It was this Taoist Priest who stepped in to save them. He... is our savior, our great benefactor!"

"He is the great benefactor of Nie Family Village too!"

"..."

...

The next day.

Early morning.

The hurt members of the Imperial Court couldn’t travel far and had to heal on the spot in Nie Family Village, resting and recuperating for a few days.

Thankfully, the old Village Chief of Nie Family Village studied medicine and had many healing drugs at home. Otherwise, those seriously injured from the Imperial Court might not have made it through the night.

And the villagers of Nie Family Village learned from those of the Imperial Court who told them that the crisis of Nie Family Village had been basically resolved.

This led to tears of joy among the villagers.

The location of Nie Family Village might be remote, but it was also the land where they had farmed for generations.

Who would want to move away unless absolutely necessary?

If you had enough money to move elsewhere, that was one thing; but if you had no money and were forced to move, you’d end up starving!

Luckily...

It looked like they wouldn’t need to move after all. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"I’m telling you! Last night, that Taoist Priest showed immense power, swiftly dispatching the ghost!" a rough-looking man said excitedly, spitting as he spoke, "You might not believe this, but the ghost was like a dead dog in the Priest’s hands, just being kneaded at will!"

The only ones who could describe last night’s eerie events so vividly were the witness couple.

"For real? Nie Dazhuang, are you trying to fool us? You actually dared to peek when facing a ghost?!" someone questioned with a frown.

"Why would I lie to you old man? If you don’t believe it, you can ask those dignitaries from the Imperial Court. I was even helping them dress their wounds with my wife last night!"

"Hiss? Could it truly be? Good heavens, there was actually a strange creature in the Great Water Pond!"

"Now that you mention it! Dazhuang, wasn’t your silly child always disobedient, playing by the pond? Maybe that’s why he was drained of his life force by the ghost!"

"Right! And Uncle Tieniu, he said he was going to pick some herbs by the water a few days ago. Came back and fell ill immediately."

"Hiss! Can we still go near that water pond in the future?"

"You’re asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?!"

"..."

Last night, the strange events spread throughout Nie Family Village.

Including how the members of the Imperial Court fought to protect Nie Family Village.

And how Fan Wu, the Taoist Priest, ultimately displayed his divine power and eradicated last night’s strange creature.

Looking at it, the formidable Imperial Court became merely a backdrop to the story.

The villagers weren’t too clear on how formidable the Imperial Court was.

They only knew...

That Taoist Priest was certainly a mighty force to be reckoned with!!

In his presence, the most fearsome ghosts and monsters were no more than clay chickens and pottery dogs!

They shattered at a touch!

And Fan Wu, who was recognized by the villagers as the "mighty force," was leading Old Blue Ox back to the scene of last night’s eerie occurrences.

Originally, Fan Wu had planned to leave early in the morning.

But just as he was about to set out, he heard a strange calling that seemed to come from nowhere.

The voice calling out to him was very ethereal and drifting, carrying a certain special solemnity.

He made his way toward the source of the call.

Back to the Great Water Pond.

Fan Wu looked down and saw ruins all around him, the debris of broken wood and shattered tiles, as well as a fragmented statue.

The voice was calling from here!

Suddenly.

Fan Wu’s eyes narrowed.

For he saw a stream of attribute information flashing before him. That flickering stream of attribute information... looked as if the other party had a poor network signal.

[A very dilapidated statue of the Water Virtue Star Lord——Life: ???——Power: ???——Skill: ???]

Water Virtue Star Lord?

Who’s that?

A water deity?

Fan Wu didn’t know much about the various deities.

He only recognized those more commonly known deities like King Yama, True Martial Great Emperor, Lord Buddha, Jade Emperor...

The others?

Sorry!

He wasn’t familiar with them!

Fan Wu remembered this place.

Last night, the split entity of The Great Revered One was right here.

Could it be that this statue of the Water Virtue Star Lord was destroyed by The Great Revered One last night?

Just as this thought crossed Fan Wu’s mind.

He suddenly realized the attribute information full of question marks for the Water Virtue Star Lord had vanished.

He was taken aback.

He stretched his leg and rummaged through the rubble a bit, shifting aside the broken statue of the Water Virtue Star Lord.

Then.

He saw a book.

An ancient tome.

[You have received a skill called "Ghost-Killing Path" gifted by the "Water Virtue Star Lord"!]

[This skill has a 99% compatibility rate with you and is being integrated into your "Skill" attribute column...]

[Integration successful!]

[Ghost-Killing Path lv1 (0/50): Upon using this skill, your "Life" attribute temporarily increases by 20% and "Power" attribute temporarily increases by 10%. It can be used once a day, with lv1 duration lasting for 1 minute. After upgrading to lv2, the duration lasts for 5 minutes.]

Very soon, a new skill named "Ghost-Killing Path" was added to the "Skill" column of Fan Wu’s personal panel.

[Name: Fan Wu]

[Life: 94＋]

[Power: 40＋]

[Skill: Star Lodging Sword Technique lv1 (0/10), Ghost-Killing Path lv1 (0/50)]

[Free Attribute Points: 18.1]

Furthermore, Fan Wu had a clear understanding of the various details regarding this "Skill".

Before preparing to leave, he heard an inexplicable call, acted on a whim, and returned to last night’s "dismemberment scene".

Could it be that he just stumbled upon a "Skill" for free?

Fan Wu was astounded!

He looked down once more, and then realized that his foot... seemed to be stepping on some fragments of the Water Virtue Star Lord’s statue.

Fan Wu coughed and discreetly moved his foot away.

He also found that the book from beneath the rubble had vanished too.

A real skill book?

Lucky him!!

"Ghost-Killing Path... seems like a decent skill. It not only boosts the "Power" attribute but also increases the "Life" attribute. This is an unexpected gain besides Free Attribute Points."

Fan Wu took a deep breath, placed the Demon-slaying Sword on the back of Old Blue Ox, and began to undress his upper body.

Coincidentally, there was no one else around him...

He wanted to try this so-called "Ghost-Killing Path"!
