Chapter 4 Retreat and Practice
After returning quickly by car, Wang Yu first used his mobile phone to ask for leave from his class teacher, and then immediately went to find a remote rental house with few people.

After locking the door and drawing the curtains, he immediately entered a state of seclusion.

If Wang Yu's memory was correct, there was less than a week left before the demons attacked the city, or three or four days to be precise.

He must arm himself with the things in the novice gift pack as soon as possible so that he can protect himself when the crisis comes.

"First, extract the Shadow Awakening Stone!"

As Wang Yu thought of this, the Shadow Awakening Stone that had been lying quietly in the inventory immediately appeared in his hand.

Unlike the compass-shaped awakening stone that was placed in the class during the initial awakening, this stone was very small and egg-shaped, with a mysterious and complex black pattern engraved on its surface.

After holding it in his hand, Wang Yu naturally knew how to use it. At the same time, a feeling of falling into an endless abyss unconsciously surged in the depths of his heart.

Wang Yu recited the word silently in his mouth, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to sense his spiritual world as he did when he first awakened.

“Buzz~~~”

The Awakening Stone began to vibrate regularly after receiving the command, and then emitted dazzling starlight from the inside out.

The lights were dark in color, shining in all directions. The bedroom where Wang Yu was in seclusion suddenly became like night, and all the light in the room was swallowed up by the darkness.

Then the stardust light slowly gathered and formed dark star marks. Like special blood vessels, they crawled from Wang Yu's palm to all parts of his body, passing through the blood vessels and meridians, and finally flashed into his spiritual world.
With the infusion of this mysterious power, a little life began to grow again in the chaotic and empty spiritual world.

The new power is changing this spiritual space. The shadow power, like the earth power in the past, is slowly carving out a small territory of its own.

After circling the territory, Wang Yu finally saw the legendary shadow stardust in the spiritual world.

Deep, cold, lonely, mysterious and dark!!!

If there weren't a few little creatures flashing faint lights in this small piece of stardust, Wang Yu would not be able to distinguish it from the surrounding darkness and nothingness.

Just by looking at it, Wang Yu's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.

If he were to say which of the many magic systems he most wanted to awaken, the shadow system would definitely be on the list.

The initial level has displacement and is good at hiding, the intermediate level has super control, the advanced level involves fields, and the super level can directly communicate with the dark plane to summon a wife.

It is really an essential conscience magic for stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and binding and training.

No wonder this is included in the novice gift pack, the Shadow system is a perfect match for the Assassin profession!!!
"Earth and Shadow. This way, I can be considered a natural dual element."

Wang Yu stared at the two great treasures in his spiritual world, and a silly smile appeared on his face again.

After a long time, he reluctantly came out of his meditation state, and then continued to study the remaining objects in the system space.

"3 Basic Enhancement Upgrade Tickets. Should I use one ticket to enhance the Shadow Element to the Basic Level in one go, or should I use one ticket to enhance the Earth Element to the Level first and then the Shadow Element to the Level ?"

Wang Yu fell into deep thought. No matter how he used these three coupons, his two magic systems could only be at level three and level two respectively.

Disaster is coming, and this is a decision that concerns one's life and property. You must consider carefully which option is the best solution.

After careful consideration, Wang Yu finally chose the latter.

The reason is simple. The Earth Element's entry-level third-level skill: Ground Wave-Fall is a rare means of group control, which has the ability to restrict the enemy's actions in a wide range.

During the Bloody Crisis, when a group of monsters enter the city, the enemy will definitely not be stupid enough to choose to fight him alone. At this time, the advantage of Ground Wave-Fall will be reflected.

"Use all the primary enhancement coupons!!!"

"Crack~~~"

The three enhancement coupons shattered and turned into three pure strange energies suspended in the air.

Then, these energies were merged into his two stardusts according to Wang Yu's request.

Just like a small river flowing into the sea, with the infusion of this mysterious energy, the two stardust particles, one yellow and one black, slowly grew larger visibly to the naked eye.

The magic power contained in it became more and more abundant, and the seven stars jumped around in joy, and Wang Yu's magic skills began to rise. "Huh~~~ This experience is really comfortable."

Half an hour later, Wang Yu opened his eyes and exited the cultivation state.

The feeling of using enhancement coupons is no less than the sudden enlightenment in fantasy novels. Although the improvement is achieved in a short period of time, there is no feeling of frivolity.

"And while my cultivation level is improving, it actually saves me the time to practice control."

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes. He had never come into contact with shadow stars before, but at this moment he could clearly sense the familiarity brought to him by the seven stars in the stardust.

It was as if as long as he wanted, these seven little guys would naturally connect into a star track and release magic.

Even the earth-type stars that had just been promoted to the initial stage of level three were the same. They were now much more familiar with him than before.

"Then give it a try."

Just do it when you want to. Wang Yu tried to communicate with Shadow Star for the first time, and then the scene he expected happened.

The seven stars showed no resistance and obediently began to line up in order.

Star tracks appeared, magic was created, and as a dark arc of light passed through his eyes, Wang Yu's entire body melted into the shadow beside him.

"Shadow Escape-Shuttle!!!"

The next moment, he appeared under the table three meters away.

The next second, Wang Yu walked directly through the wall and came to the shade of the trees outside the house.

"It's worthy of being a product of the system. It took me more than a year to awaken the earth element and release it successfully, but now I can use Shadow Escape directly."

"And this release speed ground wave - collapse!!!"

"Boom~~~"

The earth star track also flashed by, and the soil where the crooked tree next to Wang Yu was rooted sank directly into a deep pit. The old object that had stood on this land for at least ten years collapsed.

"Awesome! Level 3 magic is almost instantaneous. Invincible, absolutely invincible."

"I want to see who can kill me, who dares to kill me?!!!" Wang Yu jumped up excitedly.

The ability to instantly cast basic magic is something that many mid-level magicians have not been able to master, but now he can make magic happen with just his words.

The combination of the Earth Element and the Shadow Element, apart from anything else, the ability to move and escape is maximized.

"Hehe~ Now I just need a way to attack the enemy head-on. I hope the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades won't let me down. Extract!!!"

As Wang Yu gave the order, a long knife was already in his hand.

This is a long sword with cracks all over the blade, a black handle and half of the blade. There are blue stripes on the blade, showing the pattern of evil spirits.

Wang Yu held the knife and looked at it for a long time, and then suddenly, he gripped the knife tightly and chopped it hard at the fallen tree beside him.

"Crackling~"

The blade shattered, but only a white mark was left on the bark, without even a small cut.

"It's exactly the same as in the anime. I wonder what changes will happen to you after absorbing my magic power."

"shadow!!!"

Wang Yu mobilized the shadow magic energy in his body and injected it into the hilt. As the energy was injected, the blade fragments that were originally scattered on the ground began to tremble slightly.

When the energy was infused to a critical value, all the fragments returned to their places in an instant like iron filings meeting a magnet, and Wang Yu once again had a complete long sword in his hand.

The only difference from the beginning was that now the entire blade had been dyed black.

The evil spirit pattern on the hilt seemed to come alive, and two shadows kept flickering in the originally empty eye sockets.
