Fang Xiu completely ignored the nonsense between the two. His focus was entirely on the fat man's sudden appearance. If his perception was correct, the fat man had teleported over from a meter away.
"Fatty, how far did you teleport just now?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
The fat man was slightly taken aback: "The same as before..."
He suddenly froze, then his face lit up with wild joy: "I just teleported one meter!!"
He then quickly checked his spirituality, his face beaming with even greater joy: "Five percent!! My spirituality has actually reached five percent! I was only at two percent before! Is this the power of the B-level weirdness? A direct increase of three percentage points!?"
No wonder so many people were eager to go on B-level missions when the vice-captain led them; it turns out B-level missions are so appealing!
"Vice Captain? Why not Captain Yang?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.
The fat man gave him a disdainful look and said, "Who would want to go on a mission with that lousy captain? He gets all the benefits, and you get all the bad luck."
"Huh?" Zhao Hao was slightly taken aback: "Is Captain Yang really that bad? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would embezzle credit."
"Are you stupid? Who said Captain Yang is no good? Have you forgotten his abilities? His abilities are just luck. If you're with him, all the good things will definitely happen to him, and you'll just be left with bad luck."
"Now that you mention it, I feel like the captain is a protagonist in a fantasy novel, always having amazing adventures wherever he goes, and then everyone around him dies a tragic death—his fellow disciples, relatives, sect members, and family..."
At this point, Zhao Hao was startled: "So, we're his colleagues, won't we be doomed too? In a fantasy novel, that would be like fellow disciples, sooner or later our entire sect would be wiped out because of him, and then he'd avenge us..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. It's not that weird. At most, it's just like eating instant noodles without the seasoning packet, using your phone in the bathroom and dropping it down the toilet, or pulling off the tab when opening a can, etc... that's all."
Zhao Hao's face suddenly turned pale: "I think I should stay away from the captain from now on."
"Hey, by the way, Hugh, Ritian, how much has your spirituality increased?" the fat man asked curiously.
“Five percent,” Fang Xiu said calmly.
"The same as me? What about you, Ritian?" The fat man did not doubt Fang Xiu's words, after all, they had all experienced the same strange event.
I went from 2% to 5%, while Hugh went from 1% to 5%, which means he increased by 1% more than me. That makes sense, since he's been fighting all along.
Furthermore, everyone's mental strength is different. In martial arts novels, this is equivalent to the capacity of the dantian. If an ordinary person's dantian capacity is one hundred, then a genius's dantian capacity is one thousand. Both of them only possess five percent of internal energy, but in essence, they are ten times different.
However, what the fat man didn't know was that the five percent Fang Xiu mentioned was a five percent increase, not that his spirituality was actually five percent.
In the battle of Blackwater Village, Fang Xiu used the strange power within his scalpel and ultimately subdued the silver-haired ghost. With the combined power of these two, his spirituality increased by five percent, reaching the point of being fully illuminated at ten percent! It should be noted that illuminating spirituality becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.
Ten percent—that's the dividing line between novice and veteran spirit masters.
Moreover, 10% is clearly a small critical point. In the words of fantasy novels, it is equivalent to breaking through a small realm. You can clearly feel that your body's potential is being developed more, your five senses are more sensitive, and your overall strength has been greatly improved.
No wonder, Shen Lingxue always considers herself a senior spirit master. It turns out there is a gap between a novice spirit master and a senior spirit master.
This gap is not only reflected in physical fitness and the five senses, but more importantly in the endurance of the ability to use it.
New spirit masters often have too little spiritual energy, and their spiritual energy is depleted after only a few uses. Fang Xiu has experienced this feeling many times.
The power of pain was simply not enough. When he first dealt with the female doctor, he used up all her spiritual energy with just one punch.
But now that his spirituality has reached 10%, he is using the power of pain with increasing ease, and he no longer faces the embarrassing situation of running out of mana after a single basic attack.
In fact, if someone else had experienced this battle, their improvement would have been far more than five percent.
First, he was corrupted by countless strange powers from the scalpel, and then he was possessed by a B-level weirdo. Note that it was possessed.
Ordinary spirit masters basically absorb the power of the supernatural in the face of life and death during battles with the supernatural, and then their spirituality is awakened.
But combat is combat, and possession is possession. Obviously, possession is more noticeable and longer-lasting than combat, and one will be subject to more strange and malevolent forces.
With the combined blessing of both, spirituality can easily increase by 15% from its original level.
Fang Xiu, however, only increased by five percent. This was because his mind was different from that of ordinary people. His repeated deaths had caused his mind to constantly transform, and he had already surpassed the realm of ordinary people.
Based on the example of the dantian in martial arts novels, an ordinary person's dantian capacity is one hundred, while a genius's dantian capacity is one thousand. Therefore, Fang Xiu's dantian capacity must be at least ten thousand.
Therefore, when the same amount of internal energy enters the dantian, his percentage is the lowest.
This is why, after he absorbed Lin Ziyang's spirituality, his own spirituality only reached five percent.
It should be noted that Lin Ziyang is a Spirit Master who has awakened 20% of his spirituality, one of the strongest among first-tier Spirit Masters. Even if there were losses during the mutation process, he wouldn't have only this much left.
