Chapter 35: Heavenly Treasures

Wu Pifu was confident he could defeat this so-called wild boar demon, but he would definitely be seriously injured, or perhaps even die with it.

The physical fitness gap between them was too large. This wild boar demon had at least four or five tons of force in its movements. In contrast, even if Wu Pifu exploded with Dark Jin, he only had about one to one point five tons of force in a square inch, which was far inferior to this wild boar demon.

Even with faster speed, faster reaction time, and bonuses in martial arts moves, the combat power of the two sides was about three to seven, with Wu Pifu being the three.

Three meters tall, this was truly a behemoth for ordinary people. One must know that a male Asian elephant is only about three meters tall, and this wild boar demon was already equivalent to the size of an Asian elephant!

At this moment, Wu Pifu entered a state of possession again, while the wild boar demon roared low in its mouth, panting heavily, ignoring Wu Pifu's movements, and charged at Wu Pifu with big strides. The entire ground seemed to tremble as it walked. This body size, this strength, combined with a speed clearly different from its body size, was simply a dump truck driving at two hundred kilometers per hour.

But Wu Pifu actually stood still, and his whole body was completely relaxed. Although his eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a fierce god, his movements were completely different from the last time he was possessed.

In the distance, Jiu Jiu opened her mouth wide. Based on his performance when possessed in the last dream world, she could even imagine the next scene: it would inevitably be Wu Pifu breaking through the so-called boundary and then fighting the wild boar demon in a bloody mess until one of them fell...

But this scene did not come. At the moment before the wild boar demon hit Wu Pifu, at the moment when the long tusks were about to pierce his chest and head, Wu Pifu held the wild boar demon's huge tusks with both hands, and instead of wrestling, he jumped up using the force of the grip, and his whole person actually squatted on the wild boar demon's huge head.

Controllable Possession State!

During the final battle of the last dream world, Wu Pifu was forced to use the active possession Qi and blood circulation route of the Tiger Demon Art. It was truly a last resort, because the situation at that time was already life-or-death; if he didn't fight, he would die, and if he fought, he still had a slim chance of survival.

And this slim chance of survival was his Sleepless Spiritual Sense!

According to Wu Pifu's understanding, possession is also layered, just like the negative mental backlash of hundreds of years of frozen sleep he carried. As long as it didn't all backlash at once, he still had about one hundred and seventy days left to survive.

As long as the degree of possession was not extremely deep, he still had a certain possibility of recovering by relying on his Sleepless Spiritual Sense.

And he won the gamble; he indeed relied on his Sleepless Spiritual Sense to pull through at the last moment.

Until he obtained the digitized personal information interface later, he had a digitized grasp of the degree of possession and the degree of mental backlash. Now his mental negative backlash rate was three percent, so as long as he slightly increased the backlash rate bit by bit, that is, controlled the degree of possession within a controllable range, he could try to use the powerful strength of possession!

The degree in between was very difficult to grasp, but Wu Pifu had an intuition that he could do it!

And now, he really did it, a state of being possessed and yet just under the control of his Sleepless Spiritual Sense.

Only then did Wu Pifu truly perceive how powerful the possession state was. It was not just the strength and speed obtained after breaking the human body's self-protection limit, but also included perception, semi-static reaction time similar to bullet time, estimation ability, and a comprehensive improvement in the control of his own strength.

At the moment the wild boar demon charged, Wu Pifu could even instinctively calculate the magnitude of its impact, the angle of impact, his own damage after being hit, etc., and in a very short time, he simulated at least ten sets of evasion plans, ten sets of counterattack plans, and ten sets of killing plans in his mind. Then, the calculation of these dozens of evasion, defense, and counterattack plans began to simulate in his brain, and all this happened in a fraction of a second. Then he reached out and grabbed the wild boar tusks, flipped over, and came to the wild boar's head.

At this moment, the wild boar demon was still rushing forward, while Wu Pifu stepped on the wild boar demon's protruding mouth with both feet, and pulled the wild boar tusks hard with both hands. With a roar from the wild boar demon, the two tusks were snapped off by Wu Pifu. Then he didn't stop, raised the two wild boar tusks, turned around, and stabbed directly into the wild boar demon's eyes. The two wild boar tusks pierced at least one-third of their length.

After doing all this, Wu Pifu used his feet hard, and his whole person soared into the air and flipped. As he landed, the wild boar demon also hit the heavy metal wall of the factory directly due to inertia, causing the wall to dent, while the two wild boar tusks also pierced through from the back of its head. The wild boar demon twitched for more than ten seconds embedded in the metal wall, and finally stood still.

And the Sleepless Spiritual Sense in Wu Pifu's mind shone brightly, beginning to suppress and absorb the backlashed mental negativity. Suddenly, it seemed to reach a certain threshold, and the Sleepless Spiritual Sense expanded ten times in size, letting the mental negativity that was originally barely suppressed recede like a tide, allowing Wu Pifu to finally completely get rid of the influence of the possession state after less than ten seconds.

But this was the possession receding at the mental consciousness level, while the physical aspect was still affecting him.

The severe pain in his muscles, the dizziness of his brain overheating, the visceral damage brought by the over-excitation of cardiopulmonary function, and the sensory distortion caused by the exaggerated hormone secretion in a short time...

According to Wu Pifu's movements and brain operation just now, it should have been at least a month, or even several months of physical operation and brain thinking operation, as well as hormone secretion, all concentrated in these few seconds. If it weren't for his Rank Two physical body, plus the improvement in physical fitness brought by Dark Jin Great Completion, and his control over physical Qi and blood, if it were an ordinary person, they might have died suddenly.

Wu Pifu squatted in place in pain, his eyes going black, but his mind was still comparing the difference between this controllable possession and the passive possession in the last dream world.

Undoubtedly, controllable possession was more powerful. Although the combat power performance brought by uncontrolled possession was more exaggerated, the head-on collision without any rules was equivalent to completely losing the use of the strongest human organ... the brain!

During controllable possession, his brain could exert a usage rate far exceeding a hundred times that of the normal state, and if it were just a head-on collision, the outcome between him and this wild boar demon would still be a question...

(It's a pity that the personalized information data interface cannot be manifested here, otherwise I could know the specific possession number and the mental negative backlash rate number, so that I could better grasp the use and development of this controllable possession.)

Wu Pifu thought silently while enduring the pain. At this time, Jiu Jiu ran to his side quickly and said something anxiously, but she didn't dare to touch him, looking helpless.

Wu Pifu squatted for at least two or three minutes before slowly standing up. Red and white steam rose from his whole body, and beads of blood seeped out from the surface of his skin. His image looked extremely terrifying, but he knew that his injuries in this round of fighting were actually not serious, and the negative backlash of possession was basically carried, which would not affect his next fighting, which was very good.

"... Fool, are you okay!?" Jiu Jiu asked, chattering.

Only then did Wu Pifu hear these words. The sensory confusion caused by the excessive hormones in his body gradually subsided, and he shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter... but why did you turn into a human?"

Jiu Jiu walked around Wu Pifu twice more, carefully checking his state and injuries, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. Then she said proudly, in that crisp tone that seemed to come with its own chattering BGM: "Because I have the blood of a spirit! My great-great-great-great-grandfather was a lark spirit. Although my cultivation is shallow, I am not an ordinary bird, but a creature with wisdom like you humans."

Wu Pifu thought for a while, and then asked with doubt and seriousness: "Then you should also turn into a bird-man, why turn into a human?"

Jiu Jiu was furious, jumped up, hit Wu Pifu's nose with her head, and bit onto his arm muscle, hanging on it.

Wu Pifu was helpless.

He didn't know why Jiu Jiu was always so easily excited. It was the same when naming her before, and it was the same now. Could it be that spirits and monsters are easily provoked and angered?

But at this moment, a faint light appeared in the corner of Wu Pifu's eye. He turned his head immediately and looked at the wild boar demon's corpse. The light was exactly what emerged from the wild boar demon's corpse.

It's here!

"Weekend" harvest!

The "Weekend" is different from the dream world. This place is more like a virtual dream, while the dream world is more like an alien world, because dying in the "Weekend" will not really die, but will trigger loss. At the same time, no matter how seriously you are injured in the "Weekend," once the "Weekend" passes and you return to reality, all injuries, corrosion, mutations, and loss will disappear, as long as you haven't crossed the threshold.

But you can obtain items from the "Weekend"!

The Main Brain will mark high-value items existing around you with light. The more valuable the item, the brighter the light. Once obtained, if it is in contact with your body when the "Weekend" ends, it can be brought back to reality. And according to the seniors, the items obtained in these "Weekends" are often very powerful, or have special effects, or are similar to heavenly treasures!

At the same time, the higher your status in the Main Brain, the more sensitive the marking. According to the seniors, in the maintenance teams in other areas, some people have been promoted to Level 3 maintainers, and then when they are in the "Weekend," they even have their own mini-map, which can produce terrain and danger division effects similar to radar.

This is why Wu Pifu used the promotion reward before the "Weekend" started to raise his status to a Level 2 maintainer.

Wu Pifu hung Jiu Jiu with one hand and walked toward the wild boar demon's corpse. He dragged it out of the wall, and at the forehead where the light was most intense, he clicked, and a crystal the size of a little finger appeared in his hand.

"Demon Core!" Jiu Jiu exclaimed, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she fell to the ground.

But she didn't care about the pain in her butt, and jumped fiercely again, wanting to take this crystal.

Wu Pifu raised his palm to avoid Jiu Jiu's pounce and grab, and only then asked: "What's the use?"

Jiu Jiu's eyes were shining. She said urgently: "Give it to me, give it to me! Only monsters can use this. You can absorb the demon Qi inside to improve my cultivation! Humans can't use it, otherwise they will be polluted. Although there is a certain chance of becoming a half-demon, it is more likely to become an uncontrolled monster!"

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "I can give it to you, but only after we go back, and only after the Main Brain confirms there is no danger."

Jiu Jiu pouted, but she didn't continue to grab it.

Only then did Wu Pifu look at the wild boar demon again. Although the demon core was taken out, there was still light on the wild boar demon, very faint, and it was light all over its body.

"Flesh?" Wu Pifu pondered slightly, and asked Jiu Jiu again: "Can this wild boar demon be eaten?"

Jiu Jiu chattered: "Of course it can be eaten. This is a big demon with at least fifty years of cultivation! Humans eating it is also a great supplement, and demons eating it can also increase a small amount of demon Qi cultivation."

Then this can also be considered a "Weekend" item.

Wu Pifu nodded, looked at the wild boar demon's corpse, and thought about which parts to cut off and take away.

But he didn't want to, at this moment, a loud noise came from far away, as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Wu Pifu and Jiu Jiu both fell to the ground at the same time, and the entire factory building was shaking violently. Before the two of them could react, intense light flashed from the high windows on the edge of the factory building, and continuous explosions kept ringing out.

"Senior maintainers from other areas!? Senior seniors!? Or is it..."

"The consignee is here?"

Wu Pifu looked at the brilliant light coming through the window, his face gradually sinking.
