When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

"Improve my abilities?" Kitahara Akira was surprised.

He doesn't seem to have shown his abilities in front of Aesop.

"What do you mean?"

"Hehehe" Aesop stroked his white beard and laughed, "Literally."

He could sense some disturbance in Kitahara Akatsuki's energy, which meant that his opponent had made some breakthroughs recently, but had not yet mastered it completely.

Others might not be able to find it, but it is not a problem for him with his long experience.

"I will stay with you for a while. In exchange, I will help you better master and improve your abilities. Your potential is far greater than this."

This is not empty talk.

After all, he had trained a super A-level strongman... Although it was not for a long time, it was also a proof that he was not

Kitahara Xiao has almost reached the C-level before he reached adulthood through his own exploration. This is a rare talent among the geniuses of countless civilizations he has seen in his countless years of life.

This rekindled his love for talent that he had when he decided to raise Emersy many years ago.

After a moment of silence, Kitahara Akira asked, "How can I trust you?"

He didn't feel any energy fluctuations from Aesop, but his intuition told him that there was something else going on.

Aesop shrugged. "My ability is passive prophecy. There is no way to prove it yet, unless..."

Before he finished speaking, Aesop's body suddenly froze, and his eyes emitted a strange light, shining like two unfathomable stars.

At the same time, strange energies appeared out of nowhere and poured into Aesop's body.

The energy is not much, but it has a sense of emptiness.

Seeing this, Kitahara Akatsuki secretly became alert.

He silently summoned several ghost soldiers to flee far away. If anything unexpected happened, he could immediately use [Shadow Swap] to leave.

But fortunately, there were no unexpected situations, and Aesop's breath quickly stabilized and returned to normal.

"What's going on?" Kitahara Akira asked

"Didn't you just say you wanted to prove it?" Aesop smiled and said, "It just so happens that my ability has taken effect."

Aesop walked in front of Kitahara Xiao and waved, "Follow me."

Kitahara Xiao thought about it and followed Aesop.

The two walked to a scratch card.

"This... this... and this, they are the first, second and third prizes respectively." Aesop pointed at a few of them seemingly at random.

Kitahara Xiao glanced at him and bought all the tickets he pointed to.

An old man who originally wanted to buy one had to change his target after seeing this.

I quickly scratched the lottery tickets and found that all of them were winners, and they were exactly what Aesop said.

"Congratulations, you are so lucky!" The boss took the scratch ticket and cashed in the prize

The old man next to him looked constipated. If he had known, he would have taken a tougher attitude and taken advantage of his seniority to force his choice.

Aesop received the prize money from Kitahara Akira

"How about it?"

Kitahara Akira nodded and said, "You stay in the guest room."

................................................

The two returned to Kitahara Akira's home

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Bruce, who came to greet them, called out to Aesop twice.

"Okay Bruce," Kitahara Xiao stroked its dog's head.

"He will live with us for a while, just as a guest"

"Woof woof woof!" (Good master)

An Ke, who was still lying in the cat bed, glanced at Aesop and stopped paying attention.

After arranging Bruce to go to the kitchen to cook, Kitahara Akira and Aesop went straight to the living room.

"So...how can I enhance my abilities?" Kitahara Akira went straight to the point

"There's no rush for that," Aesop said slowly after taking a sip of tea, "First, tell me about your understanding of the nature of superpowers."

Kitahara Akira thought for a moment, "A kind of energy?"

Aesop shook his head and said, "Not entirely true."

"I don't know how you divide this world, but in my universe, we divide all superpowered people into five categories."

"Martial artist, magician, telekineticist, mechanic, and...psychic"

"The source of the power of the five super powers is 'energy', and energy is extracted from the cells of the super powers."

"So this is why the higher the rank of a superpower, the higher the cell activity, the higher the endurance and combat capability."

"Although they share the same origin, those with special abilities are the most special among them."

"Martial artists can learn various fighting techniques, telekineticists can learn various meditation methods, magicians can learn various magic and forbidden spells, and mechanics can learn various blueprints."

"Only people with special abilities can, in most cases, only explore on their own or experience it directly in actual combat, and at most learn from other people with special abilities to better control their abilities."

"Because the awakening of superpowers is full of randomness, the higher the upper limit of the ability, the smaller the awakening may be, and the upper limit of superpowers largely determines the upper limit of superpower users."

Kitahara Akira touched his chin and felt it carefully.

Aesop drank some tea to moisten his throat.

"After saying so much, please show us your special abilities in detail first."

"Um"

Kitahara Akatsuki nodded, used [Shadow] to materialize Yegrit, and took out [Souyu Pill] and enchanted it.

"Wow~" Aesop walked up to Yegrit, who was almost touching the ceiling, and knocked on his armor

"Using energy properties to mimic and control other people's shadows?" Aesop saw through the essence of Kitahara Akatsuki's ability at a glance. "A familiar ability..."

"What do you mean?" Kitahara Akira asked

"Your ability reminds me of a dangerous person, Wan Ying. His ability can also control others and make them his puppets."

"【Wan Ying】..." Kitahara Akira whispered

There is someone with abilities very similar to his. Is this a coincidence?

"Ahem, let me see your knife." Aesop quickly changed the subject, obviously not wanting to talk more about Wanying.

Kitahara Akatsuki handed over the enchanted [Murayu Pill]

"Hmm..." Aesop looked at [Cong Yu Wan], or more precisely, at the [Shadow] attached to the blade. To him, a knife of [Cong Yu Wan] was as inferior as a child's toy.

"Attaching the power to the weapon in the form of essential energy? That's a good idea. This can indeed make up for the lack of lethality at low levels to a certain extent."

"But this is not a long-term solution. As the rank increases, the damage it can cause will gradually decrease. Perhaps you can try to directly mimic the energy into the appearance of a weapon?"

Aesop returns [Murayu Maru] to Kitahara Akatsuki

"Also, this weapon is too inferior and cannot be used in many high-intensity battles. Let's change it to a better one when we have a chance."

Kitahara Akatsuki stuffed [Murayu Maru] back into the shadow and scratched his face in embarrassment.

He also wanted to change to a better weapon. His original dual-sword style became a single-sword style after [Kula] was scrapped. He could only buy an ordinary samurai sword to make up for it, but the quality of that sword was not as good as Cong Yuwan.

Unfortunately, there is no way to obtain those extraordinary weapons that may exist in this world, so I can only rely on the system lottery.

"Okay, I'll go see if your dog's food is ready. I'm starving." Aesop got up and left

Just as Kitahara Xiao was about to stand up, he suddenly received a message on his phone.
