198: Whisper of the Heart +4

“What should I do?”

Su Yuan pondered, opening his system panel.

Su Yuan pondered, opening his system panel, looking at his ability list, and finally focused on the skills Mind Whisper and Creature Transformation.

Mind Whisper, this skill could deepen his connection with his dependents. If he continued to strengthen it, it might have miraculous effects.

As for the Creature Transformation skill, with each increase in Rank, it could enhance the strength of every one of Su Yuan's dependents.

However, this increase was not significant, as this skill was primarily for creating dependents, not strengthening them.

Therefore, to solve the current problem, Su Yuan felt he should rely more on Mind Whisper.

He wondered if, as the connection deepened, his power could descend there, using his dependents as coordinates!

Thinking of this, Su Yuan looked at his evolution points.

[evolution points: 268753 / 400000] (Increasing by devouring psionic energy)

“Good, by five in the afternoon, they can rest. Tomorrow morning at nine, they’ll start scaring, rest at eleven-thirty in the morning, resume work at one-thirty in the afternoon, and rest at five in the afternoon.”

“With this arrangement, I am truly too benevolent.”

Su Yuan looked at the amount of evolution points, feeling satisfied. He opened the skill enhancement page and selected Mind Whisper (Special Edition).

[Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +3: Enhancement +4, success rate 50%, enhancement requires 40,000 evolution points. If successful, your mental influence over other creatures will be more profound. If it fails, the skill remains, and the enhancement Rank does not change.]

“As expected, the evolution points consumption is greater. One enhancement costs forty thousand evolution points, and the success rate is only half, and it’s the System’s half.”

Su Yuan's face darkened. As per custom, he molded nine dragon-frog-like clay figures, clasped his hands together, and fired four consecutive shots.

“System daddy, please let your son succeed!”

Su Yuan shouted, clicking enhance.

Immediately, the System interface brightened. Su Yuan stared at the System interface, waiting for the result.

[Skill Enhancement Failed!]

As the colorful light faded, the enhancement result appeared.

“Damn it!”

Su Yuan cursed under his breath. Fortunately, the Heart of Fear skill appeared, making evolution points easier to obtain.

But, it still hurt so much!

“Daddy, your son loves you!”

Su Yuan could only shout against his will, clicking enhance.

As the dazzling colorful light appeared, Su Yuan closed his eyes, shut down the system panel, and casually glanced at Zhang Liang.

Fortunately, Zhang Liang was still holding on, with a fanatical smile and a fearless attacking style, which made the three Men in Suits somewhat apprehensive for a moment.

As Su Yuan reopened the system panel.

[Skill Enhancement Failed!]

“I knew it would be like this. The System’s 50% and my 50% are not the same!”

Su Yuan cursed inwardly, gritting his teeth as he clicked enhance.

This time, he didn't close his eyes; he wanted to know the result immediately. Zhang Liang over there couldn't hold on for much longer.

Zhang Liang's body was covered in many cuts from sharp daggers, and even a piece of flesh with bone from his arm had been sliced off.

Soon, the colorful light dissipated.

[Skill Enhancement Failed!]

Su Yuan's mouth twitched. These three failures had already cost him one hundred and twenty thousand evolution points.

The System said a 50% success rate, but he got three consecutive failures.

It couldn't be that his luck was bad, could it? He wouldn't admit that. It must be that the damned System secretly adjusted the success rate.

Su Yuan cursed inwardly, but still had to put on a smile and greet the System before clicking enhance.

Under Su Yuan's nervous gaze.

[Skill Enhancement Failed!]

“Damn it! Don’t go too far!”

Su Yuan cursed furiously in his heart. Four failures.

He glanced at Zhang Liang’s condition, which was not optimistic. Without further delay, he directly clicked enhance.

This time, the flickering colorful light appeared exceptionally dazzling in Su Yuan's eyes.

As the colorful light gradually dimmed.

[Congratulations, Host, Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +3 has been successfully enhanced. It is currently Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +4.]

[Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +4: Your mental influence over other creatures is even more profound.]

With the success of the enhancement, Su Yuan suddenly had an epiphany. He closed his eyes, quietly comprehended for a moment, then immediately opened his eyes... Inside the old hotel, it was still broad daylight, and a fierce battle had already broken out in one of the rooms.

The cramped room left little room for the four individuals to dodge, making it almost a fist-to-flesh fight. Cold daggers cut through flesh, bringing forth crimson blood.

Under the siege of the three Mysterious Organization Awakened Ones, Zhang Liang's body was covered in wounds, and he could no longer hold on.

Even the astonishing regenerative abilities unique to dependents couldn't withstand so many wounds.

“What kind of monster is this? It’s disgusting. We’ve cut him so many times, and he’s still not dead!”

The three Men in Suits were also unsettled. Usually, even when encountering Mutated Creatures, they weren't this difficult to deal with, especially the disgusting mucus that landed on them, making them very uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically.

“Push harder, he’s almost done. Remember, the Organization wants him alive, don’t kill him.”

One Man in a suit specifically reminded them.

“Hehehe! A group of lowly blasphemers, unable to see the true world, always with unchanging thoughts, hating and avoiding things completely different from you. O great lord of eternal life, please cast a slight glance upon your humble believer!”

“I will sacrifice the flesh and blood of the blasphemers, their thighs, their hands, their hearts, to you. May your mighty power, transcending time and space, envelop the entire Universe!”

Zhang Liang's eyes were fanatical and loyal, like a madman, yet also like the most devout zealot. His voice, however, carried a heart-pounding madness, coupled with his twisted face and viscous mucus. All of this instinctively repulsed people.

“Crazy fanatic, truly a cultist. Cut off his limbs and take him down!”

The three Men in Suits frowned, holding two daggers, ready to sever the increasingly slow limbs of Zhang Liang.

But suddenly, a powerful gust of wind appeared, astonishingly strong, making the debris in the room fly up and even causing the Awakened Ones to feel unstable on their feet.

“What’s with this wind?”

The three Men in Suits had to cover their eyes with their hands to protect them. At this moment, for some reason, they suddenly felt a sense of dread, as if a strange power was floating in the air.

It seemed an extremely terrifying existence had descended here!

The next moment, the gale dissipated, as abruptly as it had arrived.

“The wind stopped?”

The three Men in Suits lowered their hands and saw Zhang Liang, who seemed different from before.

“Where are your injuries?”

At this moment, they noticed the difference. Zhang Liang’s body, covered in wounds, was gone. If not for his torn and blood-stained clothes, they would have even doubted the previous battle.

“O great lord of eternal life, you are the God of all gods, the source of fear, the creator of the endless abyss, the pioneer of the real world. The entire Universe prostrates under your mighty power!”

“I will sacrifice the flesh and blood and Souls of these sinners to you, thanking you for the power you have bestowed!”

From Zhang Liang’s twisted mouth, fanatical words tumbled out, making people’s hearts tremble.

The next moment, Zhang Liang erupted with speed far exceeding his previous level. In an instant, he appeared before the three Men in Suits, one hand directly piercing through the chest of one Man in a suit, while the other hand swept out, sending the other two Men in Suits flying, crashing heavily against the wall.

“What’s going on?! How could his strength increase so much all of a sudden! He’s already reached the level of a Rank 2 Awakened One!”

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen anything like this. Quickly, call for backup!”

The two Men in Suits were utterly terrified and incredulous, about to call for backup.

Zhang Liang threw away the heart in his hand, rushed forward, kicked away the communicator, grabbed the arm of one Man in a suit, laughed maniacally, and forcibly tore off his arm. Blood splattered onto the ceiling and drenched Zhang Liang's face.

The last Man in a suit’s face turned pale. He sprang up and rushed towards the door, clearly abandoning the mission and intending to escape.

With his speed, he had already opened the door in an instant, and had even stepped one foot out of the door.

“Can you escape?”

But just then, Zhang Liang’s deranged voice rang out behind him, and at the same time, a twisted, mucus-dripping hand pressed against his forehead, pulling him back.
