Chapter 364: Chapter 363 Spiritual Sense Warning

After roughly exhausting his physical strength by releasing the "Death Wave Skill" once again, Zhang Yanhang immediately felt that familiar wave of sleepiness surge up, although this time it came on more slowly than before.

But this wasn’t too big of a problem, Zhang Yanhang figured it was probably because the residual effects of the "Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass" in his body were still at work resisting the onset of sleepiness.

"Let’s go home, this time I’m definitely going to sleep through till morning," having resolved his insomnia, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but imitate the martial arts experts from TV dramas, as he exerted a slight effort in his legs and leaped directly from one mountain peak to another.

Given Zhang Yanhang’s current body attributes, with fifty points in "Agility" contributing to his leg’s explosive power and fifty points in "Strength" translating to a force of thirteen tons, he could easily leap ten to twenty meters.

Although Zhang Yanhang could actually jump even further, for a small mountain like "Beiling Mountain," such a distance was enough to move smoothly between its various peaks, after all, any more force and he would be smashing straight into the mountain.

Due to the numerous downsides, Zhang Yanhang generally didn’t like to leap around, chiefly because this kind of jumping movement, although visually impressive, was significantly slower than ordinary running in terms of movement speed.

This is because running is a continuous exertion, while jumping is only exerting at the start, with most of the time spent in a state of suspension, which for an "Awakener" like Zhang Yanhang who couldn’t fly, was actually quite dangerous.

That’s because unless he used a "Spiritual Qi Burst," it was difficult to maneuver smoothly in mid-air, and should an enemy adept at long-range attacks suddenly snipe him during such a moment, he might not be able to dodge in time to avoid injury.

Though Zhang Yanhang rarely ever dodged damage, his reason for enduring hits was that he enjoyed the sensation of withstanding the enemy’s attacks, launching his own, and crushing his adversary—a sense of conquest, but merely being a live target was completely different. Except for masochists, probably no one would like doing that.

Well, it had to be admitted that during the "Spiritual Qi Recovery Era," aside from masochists, quite a few "Awakeners" with unique abilities also enjoyed doing this.

Zhang Yanhang once saw an "Awakener" describe his ability in a group chat, which reportedly allowed him to accumulate power by withstanding enemy attacks, and when the accumulated power reached its limit, he could choose to release all of it in a burst to deal massive damage to the enemy or use a portion of it to augment himself.

When Zhang Yanhang first learned of this ability, he was incredibly envious because it was very suitable for a brute force like himself. If he had such an ability, then he could be even more unrestrained in blowing everything away in the future.

Unfortunately, this ability was that "Awakener’s" unique "Talent Ability," and it would be difficult for Zhang Yanhang to acquire the same talents or, to put it another way, the chances were almost none.

If such an ability were a skill obtained in the "Ashen World" or a "Monster Talent," Zhang Yanhang might have asked for the "Origin" and then gone to hunt for a bit, but as for inherently unique "Talent Abilities" of an "Awakener," there was little he could do.

...

Not long after Zhang Yanhang left, Zhou Muxi suddenly opened her eyes in the graveyard and took a deep breath, "What kind of nutcase "Awakener" is this, wandering around a graveyard in the middle of the night without sleeping? Is this something a normal person would do? If it weren’t for worrying about hindering my cultivation (actually fear of not being able to win), I would definitely go out and give him a proper lesson."

As a "Third Tier Awakener," even while engrossed in her cultivation, Zhou Muxi had already noticed the arrival of Zhang Yanhang the moment he arrived at the graveyard.

Mainly because she couldn’t help noticing, her "Spiritual Sense" was frantically warning her about the nutcase’s body on the ground, which was accumulating a huge force that could be released at any time.

With this scenario, if she didn’t distract herself to pay attention, Zhou Muxi worried she might go from voluntarily entering the graveyard to being buried; that would be a terribly undeserved death, especially with only an old Qing Dynasty zombie beside her, which would make her feel even more resentful.

Fortunately, as Zhou Muxi observed the other party with her heart in her throat while pretending to be composed in her cultivation, Zhang Yanhang simply stayed in the graveyard briefly before leaving for a mountain peak to the southwest of the graveyard.

Just as Zhou Muxi breathed a sigh of relief, her "Spiritual Sense" suddenly began to frantically sound alarms, pointing in the direction of the nutcase "Awakener." In that direction, a powerful force was being recklessly released in a very regular rhythm.

Despite a distance of hundreds of meters, Zhou Muxi could still sense the strong scent of death within that force.

Although she lacked the relevant "Perception Ability" and could only roughly sense the actual strength of the force, Zhou Muxi came to a startling conclusion: she could only endure that level of force release two more times before she would be buried.

At first, Zhou Muxi thought it must be some sort of "Burst" ability, definitely not sustainable, but to her surprise, the nutcase "Awakener" sustained his burst for two whole minutes, during which he released the powerful, death-laden force at least dozens of times.

As a result, Zhou Muxi’s "Spiritual Sense" alarm also lasted for two full minutes, the high frequency of alarms nearly driving her to "Neurasthenia."

Not until the nutcase "Awakener" finally stopped releasing his power did Zhou Muxi’s "Spiritual Sense" alarm cease accordingly.

After a while, the surroundings grew quiet again, and just when Zhou Muxi thought everything had ended and was about to poke her head out of the graveyard to see what had happened, her "Spiritual Sense" started high-frequency alarming again.

Of course, even without the "Spiritual Sense" alarm, Zhou Muxi could also generally sense that the force of death that had rampaged for two minutes was coming back, "It’s not over yet? Being powerful means you can do as you please?"

After nearly half a minute of high-frequency "Spiritual Sense" alarms, Zhou Muxi felt her "Neurasthenia" starting to turn into a headache, but fortunately, just when she thought it was going to last another two minutes, this time the nutcase "Awakener" only sustained his release for one minute before it ended.
