The ward returned to silence, and Dean was finally able to calm down and sort out the rewards he had earned at the risk of death.
The first is the expertise gained from killing Ghost Alexander——
Junior Supernatural Hunter: Hunters harvest trophies from their prey.
You can draw a bit of power from the supernatural creatures you kill or die because of you, immediately restore a small amount of vitality and physical energy, and draw 0-2 points of a random attribute from them.
Note that you can only draw attributes that are higher than yours. If all attributes of the target are lower than yours, you will not be able to draw any power from it.
The higher this attribute is compared to yourself, the more power you draw.
…
Dean's eyes lit up.
"This is not a realistic version of killing monsters to make you stronger."
With this expertise.
He only needs to continue to search, investigate, plan, and then hunt powerful supernatural beings to increase his strength.
Of course, the risks are also huge. If you are not fully prepared, hunting can easily turn into "suicide."
In addition, he is also more inclined to eliminate evil existences like Alexander.
He took a look at his attributes, and unknowingly, his spirit went from 13.2 to 14.2. He absorbed a full point of spirit from the old ghost he killed, and the shadow of the past was strengthened again!
The wind blows.
The "shadow" flew out of Dean's body and circled around the ward.
Roughly tested it.
Its range of activities expanded from thirteen meters to seventeen meters, its duration increased from six and a half minutes to nearly eight minutes, and its speed and power did not increase much.
The focus of "Shadow"'s growth should not be on this aspect, but on gradually gaining the ability to retrieve objects from the air, scream harshly, or have mental shocks like Alexander.
…
Withdrawing the "shadow", Dean focused his energy on the event column.
Event—Brothers Completed 100%.
Withdraw rewards.
Experience value +110, personal level lv1 (180/200), the event is medium difficulty, you get a special reward, a skill of the ghost Alexander Raphael——
Balance Meditation lv0 (0/100):
A part of the human soul is hidden deep in the universe and transformed into a star. It exists forever and will not be annihilated with the cycle of death.
Therefore, humans like to look up at the stars.
Suffering from insomnia and mental illness, psychics created this method. Through special breathing, posture, visualization of this unique star, and converging with its thoughts, they can regulate the body and mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and release mental stress. , maintain a calm self.
During meditation, you will gradually enter a deep state of sleep and quickly restore your physical fitness and energy.
Note: This ability will balance your mental and will attributes. Each time you level up, the lower of the two attributes will be slightly improved, bringing them closer to balance.
…
Balance meditation?
Dean has never seen such a strange ability.
"The improved attributes are not fixed, you have to choose one based on your spiritual will."
The stars in the universe meet and narrow the gap between them. This description is also very interesting.
"From this point of view, the reason why psychics suffer from insomnia and mental abnormalities is not simply because their mental attributes are too high, but because their spirit exceeds their will too much, making them unable to perfectly restrain their spirit and control their overly active thinking. Emotions cannot resist negative information from the outside world, so they are easily stimulated, collapsed, and split.”
Dean felt enlightened.
If the spirit is water, then the attribute of will is the container holding water.
Too much water, container too small.
The water will overflow and even crush the container, flooding everything and making people crazy.
Only when the two develop in a balanced manner can a "reservoir" or even a sufficient "reservoir" be formed that provides sustained combat capabilities.
"From this, not only psychics, but also ordinary people, if they suffer from mental illness, such as schizophrenia, madness and obsession... excluding organic changes, it is because the spirit exceeds the will too much."
On the contrary, if the will exceeds the spirit too much, feelings and thoughts will be suppressed, and people will become numb, indifferent, and lose their humanity and empathy.
…
Dean looked at himself: Spirit 14.2, and Will 11.2, a difference of exactly 3 points.
"I haven't been able to sleep well some time ago, just because of my sudden increase in energy. Now, the gap has widened again."
"Don't give me any more insomnia! Well, I can't just be more energetic in the future."
He was alert.
"In order to avoid becoming a madman and a cold-blooded machine, I must practice balance meditation as soon as possible."
I happened to be seriously injured and couldn't practice fighting or shooting for the time being, so I came to balance meditation several times a day.
Perfect.
…
Next, Dean took out the Sleepless Man's tablet.
Smooth as jade.
Not only can it be used to host psychic rituals to summon ghosts, it can also allow humans to see ghosts with their naked eyes.
It has special power and is extremely lethal to spiritual bodies.
Alexander was invulnerable and even flames could not make him die quickly. After being pierced by this piece of stone, he was turned into ashes without any resistance.
Its power is evident.
A shameless plot immediately came to Dean's mind.
"Ask where there are haunted houses in Nevada."
"Take the jiban and go to the haunted house to perform a spiritual ceremony."
"If an evil spirit is summoned, use this stone to kill it."
"Exercise skills, trigger supernatural hunters, and absorb attributes."
Kill multiple birds with one stone!
But this was just a naive idea on Dean's part.
Finding a real haunted house was troublesome and too risky to implement. If he bumped into one or a few medium-level ghosts who were not inferior to Alexander, he was not sure whether he would be lucky enough to win for the second time or lie like this for another month. ?
To start this routine, he has to wait until he has enough power to protect himself.
…
Get your thoughts in order.
Dean grasped the shackles tightly and tried to summon the shadow of the past.
But this time the result was completely opposite to the previous one in Panon's house.
"Shadow" obeyed obediently and flew to the front of the altar, conveying an impatience.
"Why has your attitude changed so much?" Dean looked at the dull-faced Ying. He remembered that this guy was terribly afraid of the shackles back then. "Is it because the ghosts of Alexander and Panon sealed inside are no longer there?"
"Shadow" couldn't answer such a complicated question, and its pure black eyes stared at the board with longing - it wanted to get in.
Dean turned his eyes and remembered something. When he summoned Alexander, he blessed the tablet with his own blood and successfully held a psychic ceremony.
Later, its original owner, the ghost Alexander, could not control the shackles, but asked Dean to hand it over voluntarily.
"So, I have put my own mark on this piece of stone, so the shadow that also belongs to me is no longer afraid."
The more Dean thought about it, the more it seemed possible, so he nodded in agreement and watched the "shadow" turn into a wisp of black smoke and fly into the altar,
Like a whale returning to the sea, there is a feeling of comfort and comfort.
Dean raised the slender board to observe. The teardrop-shaped, jade pendant-like texture flashed a red light and was hot for a moment.
Moreover, he could clearly feel the existence and state of the "shadow" in the tablet.
There was no loss of contact.
Dean thought again.
The shadow controlled the board from inside and flew up out of thin air. With a hissing sound, it dragged out the afterimages, spinning around and around in the air of the ward.
The sharp edges and corners of the tip shone with cold light, like a sharp blade that could easily cut through flesh and blood.
Dean is becoming more and more satisfied with the board.
It can break through ghost bodies, and can also be used as a melee dagger and a long-range flying hidden weapon to cause physical damage.
It will become your own secret weapon.
Dean changed his order.
The "shadow" flew out of the shackle obediently.
Several more attempts followed.
Even if he lives in a jiban, the maximum distance between his "shadow" and himself is still seventeen meters.
Once it exceeds this range, it will immediately fly out of the board and return to Dean's body.
In addition, it is currently unclear what benefits "Shadow" can get from this board. It will take some time to observe the effect.
"Man, this thing is your home from now on."
Dean clenched the shackles tightly, hoping in his heart that "Shadow" would become a little stronger and not be crushed so miserably by the psychic level.

…
He closed his eyes and leaned gently on the hospital bed, while the steps of balance meditation flowed through his mind.
"Relax your body to the most comfortable and least stressful posture, breathing rhythm..."
"Imagine sitting on an endless grassland, looking up at the bright night sky with the vast stars twinkling."
"One of them grabs your attention..."
"You feel the special magnetic field of this star, and you and it are attracted to each other, getting closer and closer."
"Your spirit, will, body, everything tangible and intangible, are all drawn by it along with the beams of starlight."
"Its atmosphere and gravity filter impurities from you."
"Return the essence to you..."
