Chapter 1419: Chapter 1008, Body Refining Technique Complete

After the starlight passed, the glow of the Holy Cabinet gradually dimmed until it extinguished, and the entire great hall returned to silence.

The Archbishop slowly opened his eyes, stars twinkling deep in his pupils.

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the power within his body, the kind of power that had stepped into the realm of ’Hero’.

"Congratulations!"

A deep voice came from the shadow of the corridor.

Another man in a luxurious robe stepped out, the various symbols of power and faith on the robe declaring his identity as a Church Hero.

"Thank you!" The newly appointed Hero Archbishop quietly expressed his gratitude.

The Pope stood beneath the statue, gazing at the two below.

Counting the Religious Leader stationed at headquarters, the four Holy Seats of the Court gathered once again.

"Your Eminence, what are the instructions next?" the new Hero softly inquired, without saluting, but with a tone still respectful.

Still carrying a trace of excitement that couldn’t be concealed.

The Pope slightly raised his head, gazing upward, "Await the divine oracle... Before that, do not act rashly."

"Yes!" The two heroes responded.

"You may return now."

The two heroes below nodded again, turned, and left.

Outside the hall, the starlight and anomalies vanished, and the believers slowly got up, solemnly bowing once more in the direction of the Holy Hall, then dispersed like a tide.

The streets and alleys returned to their hustle and bustle, as if the stellar phenomena earlier were just an illusion.

...

In a courtyard.

A woman’s emaciated knees crouched on the ground, in the distance were three stray cats eating bits of bread, having appeared in the courtyard over the past couple of days, with no idea where they came from.

"Eat slowly, there’s more in the future, the deities will bless us."

Hunched over, her belly protruded prominently, the bluish-purple veins writhing under the skin as thin as a cicada’s wing, like countless hungry worms.

A light breeze blew through her sparse white hair, revealing a forehead covered in age spots.

The three stray cats ate greedily, yet when she tried to get close, they bristled, emitting a sharp warning.

"I won’t come over, you eat slowly."

*Cough cough...*

The taste of blood rising in her throat was forcibly swallowed down.

Trembling fingers caressed her belly, immediately feeling the fierce kicking within.

"May you all be healthy, and the child too..."

The cloudy pupils gazed at the spire of the distant Holy Hall.

There, the residual starlight had yet to dissipate, beautiful like when she first listened to a sermon, the rainbow casting spots of light on the back of her hand.

Those were such good times, everything was beautiful.

"You should rest now." A Priest approached, supporting her up.

"Don’t disturb those little ones."

The woman forced a smile, helped to her feet, and stumbled inside.

...

In the study.

Wu Heng glanced at the corpse core potion delivered by the Alchemy Skeleton, uncorked it, and drank it down.

After so long, drinking the potion was no longer a mental burden.

In an instant, a surge of scorching energy exploded in his stomach, coursing through his veins like lava, reaching all his limbs and bones.

Wu Heng let out a muffled groan, his body curling up.

After a while, Wu Heng slowly opened his eyes while huddled on the carpet, with four Ghosts hovering above him, gazing down.

"Uncle, you sweated a lot!" Xiao Xiao telekinetically manipulated a towel, wiping his sweat.

"Recovered two seconds faster than before, not bad!" Glenda calmly reported the time.

"Are you a devil?! Timing from the side." Wu Heng leaned against the chair and sat up, sighing, "My daughter is still the best."

Glenda chuckled, "Yes, yes, who can compare to you two."

"Hehe! You’re all great, we’re number one." Xiao Xiao mediated.

The other two Ghosts also smiled, seeing he was alright, they flew back to their positions.

The intense body pain completely subsided, and Wu Heng leaned against the chair and sat up.

At this moment, a system prompt also promptly appeared.

[Strength +3, Agility +4, Perception +3.]

After the attributes prompt, Wu Heng waited several more seconds, but didn’t hear the long-anticipated superpower awakening.

Fuck!

No awakening this time.

"Uncle, any new abilities?" Xiao Xiao asked expectantly from the side.

"No, luck was poor this time." Wu Heng turned his head.

Xiao Xiao comforted, "Don’t worry! There’s always next time."

"Mm, I’ll keep trying next time." Wu Heng replied accordingly.

Awakening superpowers, he had yet to comprehend the pattern, feeling more like drawing cards in a game, largely luck-based.

He opened the panel, the attributes appearing before his eyes.

[Name: Wu Heng]

[Level: Level 20]

[Faith: 2003/50000.]

[Attributes: Strength 55, Agility 52, Constitution 57, Intelligence 62, Perception 51, Charm 49.]

[Trait: Heroic Body.]

[Expertise: ...]

My goodness, the attributes are becoming hexagonal.

Fortunately, Intelligence still leads, proving I’m still a Mage.

My Strength, Agility, Constitution attributes, even against a Level 20 close combat profession, I still stand a chance.

The difference is just in close combat techniques, and my advantage includes the skeleton attendant.

Last time, when I faced off against the Religious Leader ’Saidu’ in close combat, I didn’t flinch.

He flexed his wrist and looked at the figure before the desk, "Lady, could your cultivation technique be something you’re making up?"

"What’s the hurry? I’ll finish writing before dark." The Lady didn’t even lift her head, and added sharply, "Rush me again, and I won’t write it."

Hearing it would be given to him by evening, Wu Heng felt a surge of joy, "Lady, you’re the best!"

"Hmph~!" The Lady snorted coldly.

Xiao Xiao cheered, "Uncle can finally become a Martial Arts Master."

The Lady responded with mock annoyance, "At most, it’ll make your uncle a bit tougher, combat still relies on overall ability."

"Being tough is a skill." Wu Heng chimed in.

Xiao Xiao agreed, "Exactly!"

Thump thump thump~!
