Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I, the Savior, Fight the Monsters!
At this time,
Fang You’s temporary skill slot was still borrowing “Blade Strike·Mastery” from Black Blade elder brother, but he owned Palm Thunder, so Blade Strike wasn’t very useful to him. It only helped him get a slight increase in proficiency when he practiced.
But today, sorry Black Blade elder brother, An Jianyou’s “Ghost Control” skill is just more enticing compared to Blade Strike.
With some manipulation, he activated his authority, and the “Ghost Control” skill obediently lay down in his skill list.
It used to be indifferent, now it’s willingly lying in my arms.
I’ve got a blue-level skill too!
Just like Blade Strike snitched from Black Blade elder brother, a borrowed skill is not truly one’s own; it’s fragile, like glimpsing flowers through the fog, but it’s still usable, and that’s that.
Fang You paid close attention to his experience, finding that even though his understanding was hazy, it was still clearer and deeper than just watching An Jianyou’s performance.
“The biggest energy drain of ‘Ghost Control’ is in branding Mysterious Evil with control. Other aspects like suppression and weakening consume much less, no wonder An Jianyou can last so long.”
“However, I don’t have An Jianyou’s ‘Passage to the Mystic’ eyes, and since the skill is freely obtained, it definitely consumes more energy than that girl.”
Perhaps just a little more.
Fang You tried using “Ghost Control.” Turning it on, off, then on again, off again… This freely acquired skill was only at the beginner level, awkward and substandard to use, but to his surprise, he found some similarities with “Mysterious Evil Tracking” when he used it.
After practicing the skill a few times, the prelude to its use shortened significantly, skyrocketing its practicality.

“I’m not prepared to use it for commanding; this level of ‘Ghost Control’ is enough for now, and it can temporarily control a Mysterious Evil, similar to putting on a ‘Weakness’ skill.”
Got control, got damage!
Today, I, Fang·Savior·Torch Mentor·You, shall officially make my debut.
Actually, it’s not very steady. Facing a one-star Mysterious Evil, there’s probably just a 98% probability, but dragging it out any longer would slow down the pace.
When it’s time to step up… Fang You is actually a bit scared, it being his first time and all, but he must face it eventually.
“Right now in Baijiang City, the highest marked are just two-star Mysterious Evils. Black Blade elder brother should be fine, only…”
Just now, through An Jianyou’s vision, Fang You saw a more terrifying scene.
Grey mist covered the sky, streets lay in tatters, staggering figures resembling walking corpses everywhere, and a huge, hideous giant… The three-star Flesh Giant from the Mysterious Evil compendium!
Even through the phone screen, he felt a surge of shock.
There’s no time left to wait!
Fang You turned and entered his bedroom, beginning to rest and recover the energy he had spent testing the “Ghost Control” skill, while also opening the task dispatch module.
After the upgrade, many more Mysterious Evils popped up on the detection map, and he carefully checked four areas.
Three of these detections marked two-star Mysterious Evils.
The other, although it was a one-star Mysterious Evil, was marked as ‘group’ with the quantity greater than three, located further south of the southern district, in a cemetery on the outskirts.
Fang You checked the cemetery, which had been sealed off for some reason months ago.
“Not only is the quantity large, but there must be strong one-star Mysterious Evils. These are all rather tricky missions.”
He chose one of the locations closer to the bustling district and assigned the task to Black Blade elder brother… Since the game version upgrade, this dispatch function has been optimized. Before, he always had to monitor Black Blade elder brother’s status, waiting for a moment when the elder brother was well-rested and in top shape to swiftly assign the task.
But Black Blade elder brother is just too competitive, and finding the time when he’s at full strength is quite a challenge.
Now, this function has been optimized, allowing for advance scheduling, notification of Angel Envoys… Fang You set a night mission for Black Blade elder brother, so after he finished his first battle out today, he’d provide Black Blade elder brother with long-distance support in the evening.
If Black Blade doesn’t need teleportation, if it’s not against a two-star Mysterious Evil, Fang You could actually forgo any interaction and directly assign the task. This convenience would indeed be handy in the future; he couldn’t possibly keep an eye on each Angel Envoy individually.
Rationally arranging resources and tasks was what he was supposed to do.
After placing his order with Black Blade, Fang You also began to select a target for himself; he chose a one-star Mysterious Evil quest relatively close to home.
Close, but it still was several kilometers away.
As he assigned his quest, a “ding” alert sounded in the game, and at the same time, a mechanical voice echoed in Fang You’s mind, “The organization has dispatched a quest, and the navigation map will continuously guide you.”
An ordinary navigation map appeared in his mind, which he could see clearly just by closing his eyes.
This map…honestly, it wasn’t much different from a deceitful map, except that it was directly projected in his mind, which was quite scientific.
With his eyes closed, the navigation map was crystal clear.
When he opened them again, the mirror reflected his handsome self.
Close them again, open them again, close them again, open them again…he played, no, he was just trying out controlling himself to get familiar with the game functions, and he could switch from the game interface to his own perspective.
I’m staring at myself!
It was actually quite thrilling, to be honest.
Having had his fun, Fang You put away his phone, slung an ordinary black backpack over his shoulders, and rode his beloved little e-scooter toward the navigation location.
Getting close to the spot, he found a place to lock up his e-scooter, and then found a secluded spot to put on a new black hoodie from his backpack.
Hood up, mask on, he closed his eyes to glance at the navigation and then turned this way and that to enter an alley. Occasionally, he brushed past a pedestrian or two, and soon, Fang You arrived in front of an old dilapidated mansion.
It was very old, long neglected, with beams already cracked; it was practically a hazardous building.
Fang You activated the Mysterious Evil tracking and scanned the surroundings, finding some gray-black spots and strands of corrupt winds drifting around, converging into that old mansion.
“As expected, it’s here.”
He took a deep breath, tore the white cloth off the Wooden Sword, feeling a bit nervous, but there was no time for dawdling now; this place could not be guaranteed free of passersby.
Fang You moved to the side of the courtyard wall, looked around, and with a leap like Black Blade had taught him, he wasn’t very graceful, but he easily jumped into the old mansion.
The Mysterious Evil was just about ten meters away, and he could already see a faint outline wrapped in the corrupt wind.
When you gaze at the Mysterious Evil, the Mysterious Evil gazes back at you!
The Mysterious Evil, ten meters away, charged at him, making a “thud! thud! thud!” sound.
It’s coming!
It seems like the Knocking Child!
Based on the several pre-planned tactics I’d prepared, at this point, I should…
Thoughts raced through Fang You’s mind, but his body’s instinctive reaction was quicker. With a sidestep dodge, he evaded the ‘slow-moving’ little Mysterious Evil, then extended his unarmed right hand, from which sizzled electrical light burst forth, slapping down in a palm strike while dodging the Mysterious Evil.
Palm Thunder!
Lightning exploded brilliantly, with fine arcs skipping and crackling as though he had struck a soft clump of cotton, but the next moment something burst.
The Burst arcs pattered against the floor and walls, leaving behind scorched marks.
The little Mysterious Evil in front of him had already turned into green smoke, dissipating under his palm strike.
Fang You’s heart was still thumping, and he stood still, silently watching the slowly fading corrupt wind for a long time.
“…That’s it?”
