Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 498 - 295: The Ghost-Eating Fangxiang, Murderer Symbol_3

"Uncle, don’t worry, I just want to ask him some questions about ability control and Spirit, I won’t act recklessly. After all, he is quite experienced in this area and surely knows more than I do."

Li Dingjian pondered for a moment and then replied:

"The Professor has some personal matters to attend to recently and hasn’t returned to East Capital yet."

"If you really want to consult with him, leave it to your uncle. Once he returns, I’ll help you get in touch and arrange a meeting as soon as possible."

Upon hearing that he would have to wait, Fang Cheng felt a flash of disappointment in his heart.

After all, he urgently needed to understand more about the Golden Benba Bottle and Spiritual Cultivation to further enhance his Strength.

But Fang Cheng didn’t show much on his face, just nodded:

"Okay."

With a soft "click" sound, the door closed.

Li Dingjian’s footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor.

Only Fang Cheng was left in the room, returning to the previous silence.

He walked to the window and gazed at the bright and gentle scene outside.

The warmth seemed to dispel some of the shadows in his heart.

After a brief gaze, he turned around, walked to the sofa in the middle of the room, and opened the blue satchel that was always beside him.

Inside the bag lay a pale white mask.

The mask had a strange shape, with menacing and terrifying features.

Especially the two red eyes, glowing faintly.

As if gathering all the malice of the world, vividly resembling an Evil Ghost crawling out of Hell.

Fang Cheng’s gaze lingered on the mask for a few seconds, then he reached out.

The touch of his fingertips on the plaster-like material brought a familiar chill.

He picked up the mask and placed it on his face slowly but with great determination.

When he raised his head again, everything had changed.

Through the two dark red gems set in the eye sockets of the mask, he looked outside.

The entire world was instantly tinged with an ominous blood-red filter.

The previously bright sunlight now appeared eerily bizarre.

Everything in his vision, people and objects alike, shed their usual gentle disguises.

Leaving only a cold, killing essence, brutal yet real.

However.

In stark contrast to the eerie horror of this blood-red world.

Was the almost absolute tranquility and calm rising deep within Fang Cheng’s heart.

As if the chaos of the outside world and the anxiety within were all isolated and soothed under this bloody shroud.

Putting on this Evil Ghost Mask, he was no longer just Fang Cheng.

It was as if he had two faces, bearing two completely different lives.

One side is an ordinary person under the sunlight, yearning for family and love, pursuing a peaceful and happy life.

The other side is a prowler in the blood-red darkness, cold, resolute, living by killing.

Fang Cheng walked to the full-length mirror in the room and stared at the terrifying Evil Ghost.

The "Evil Ghost" in the mirror was also looking back at him.

In those blood-red eyes, there was none of Fang Cheng’s usual gentleness.

Only the bottomless emotions, a will burning like flames.

This is the Strength hidden beneath the ordinary appearance, roaring within, longing to break free entirely.

Though uncle earnestly advised him to be restrained, patient, and try to be an ordinary person far away from disputes.

However.

Facing the imminent crisis, the truth of his father’s wrongful death, and the family he must protect.

Fang Cheng didn’t want to, nor was willing to passively await the judgment of fate.

"Perhaps, I can create a persona solely for hunting..."

Gazing at his masked self in the mirror, Fang Cheng murmured to himself.

An "Evil Ghost" prowling in the darkness, a Murderer symbol that made all forces tremble with fear.

In this way, he could deter potential enemies and better hide the other identity of "Fang Cheng" behind the scenes, away from danger.

This blood-stained Inner World may be cruel.

But it also allowed Fang Cheng to see more clearly and become more focused.
