Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 74: Dual Elemental Abilities of Wind and Fire!

Nightfall.

The Liu family, or more precisely, the home of Zhao Hongzhang, Liu Zimo's uncle, was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

That's right.

It wasn't just the usual dim candlelight, but a light elemental ability user who created a light sphere similar to a night pearl, hanging it from the ceiling of the living room, illuminating the entire room, incredibly bright.

The bright white light even had a hint of warmth.

From a distance, it looked as if the house had electricity again and the energy-saving light had resumed its work.

The surviving residents in the same community looked at this white light in the dark night with curiosity and envy, observing from a distance.

However, no one dared to come out at night to pry or investigate.

In the living room.

Sixteen guests from outside were sitting somewhat awkwardly on the sofa or chairs. They were all members of the official recruited and solicited superpower teams.

Each person had different superpowers, some leaning towards combat, some towards daily life, and some had a combination of both.

In short, superpower users who were specially recruited by the military had their own unique qualities.

From the moment they entered, Liu Zimo's gaze swept over their heads one by one.

Sure enough, among the sixteen people, he saw a shining red lock shadow that emitted a dazzling red light.

The soaring red light completely overwhelmed and covered the surrounding green, blue, and some golden lights, making it extremely eye-catching.

Hu Xianzong, a high school student who looked slightly older than Liu Zimo.

He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, mixed in with the crowd, holding a cup of water and sitting alone in a corner, not inclined to talk to his colleagues, and even a little timid.

Liu Zimo's divine sense probed and instantly discovered that this kid had already opened up his sea of consciousness, and his spiritual cultivation seemed to have reached the second realm of spiritual cultivation, the Lingtong Realm!

A natural spiritual cultivator!

Judging from his spiritual cultivation talent alone, this Hu Xianzong's potential was even greater than Xiao Feihong's!

A true teenage prodigy!

With the talent of a grandmaster-level superpower, if he didn't die prematurely, he would undoubtedly become a superpower powerhouse at the level of a grandmaster.

Although in the previous life, Liu Zimo had never heard of the name "Hu Xianzong," it didn't affect Liu Zimo's judgment of the kid's future prospects.

In the previous life, he didn't rise to fame, which could only be attributed to his bad luck.

Just like Yang Sisi and Xiao Feihong, they unfortunately died in the first demonic calamity and never had the chance to grow up.

But this life was different.

Because of Liu Zimo's intervention, because of the early appearance of the "Guiding Breathing Technique" and the "Five Animal Fist," too many people had changed their life trajectories.

This Hu Xianzong was definitely one of them!

Delighted by the discovery, Liu Zimo didn't think too much and immediately listened to the red lock on the kid's head.

Snap!

Along with the sound of the lock falling, the relevant superpower prompt also sounded in Liu Zimo's ear:

[Binding successful! Your good brother Hu Xianzong is online, currently available binding targets (49/60).]

Liu Zimo waved to Hu Xianzong, motioning for him to sit in front of him.

Hu Xianzong was initially stunned, showing a look of surprise and disbelief.

He pointed at his own nose in surprise and hesitation, and when Liu Zimo nodded again to confirm, he took a deep breath, put down the cup in his hand, and nervously stood up and approached.

"Advisor Liu, did you call me?"

Approaching, Hu Xianzong asked Liu Zimo with a hesitant and insecure voice, bowing respectfully and asking softly.

"Are you Hu Xianzong?"

Liu Zimo's face rarely showed a gentle smile as he raised his hand to greet Hu Xianzong.

"Don't be nervous, come sit here. I have a few questions for you."

Following Liu Zimo's instructions, Hu Xianzong sat down on the sofa next to him, his legs stiff and his upper body tense, still appearing very nervous.

However, the other dozen or so colleagues beside him, seeing him receiving such special treatment from Advisor Liu, were secretly envious and jealous.

They couldn't understand why this young Hu, who was the youngest and least socially savvy among them, would be favored by Advisor Liu?

During their usual missions, this little Hu's performance was just average. Compared to most of them, he was not outstanding at all.

At this moment.

Hu Xianzong, who sat upright in front of Liu Zimo, was also not calm and was thinking about the same question.

[Did Advisor Liu notice something?]

[Otherwise, why didn't he call so many people, but specifically called me and asked me to come forward?]

[Could it be that Advisor Liu discovered my hidden strength?]

[Hmm, it's very possible. I heard that Advisor Liu is the number one martial arts expert in Luozhou City, with unparalleled strength. Most likely, he has noticed something unusual about me!]

[What should I do? Should I take the opportunity to seek Advisor Liu's protection, or should I continue to act dumb and hide?]

[Can I trust this Advisor Liu?]

[If he finds out that I have awakened both wind and fire abilities, will he be like those lunatics before, wanting to capture and study me?]

Hearing Hu Xianzong's self-talk, Liu Zimo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

I didn't expect that.

This seemingly shy and timid little guy is actually a scheming boy who pretends to be weak.

Wind and fire dual abilities, no wonder the lock shadow above his head is bright red!

No wonder this little guy is inconspicuous among his colleagues and doesn't receive the treatment and respect that matches his strength.

He has learned to act at such a young age, learned to protect himself by pretending to be clumsy.

Very impressive!

It can be seen that he must have had some unpleasant experiences in the past.

However, Liu Zimo didn't have the intention to explore what had happened to Hu Xianzong before.

In the apocalypse, people's hearts change easily. Liu Zimo has seen or personally experienced even the most cruel and unbearable situations.

For these things, Liu Zimo has long been accustomed to them.

What he values is Hu Xianzong's cautiousness, ability to endure loneliness, and indifference to others' cold eyes.

Not to mention others.

If the same talent and abilities were born in his father Liu Yi, I wonder how arrogant he would become, wanting everyone in the world to know.

This can be inferred from his father's arrogant attitude after obtaining the "Instant Movement Technique" during the day.

In comparison, the current Hu Xianzong seems more like a calm, mature, and thoughtful adult.

"How old are you?" Liu Zimo's gaze fell on Hu Xianzong's face and he asked softly.

Hu Xianzong lowered his head and said, "Seventeen, just started the second year of high school before the cataclysm."

Sure enough, he is one year older than Liu Zihao, but still a child.

However, he is one of the few young people who are mature and cautious.

"Very good!" Liu Zimo nodded slightly and encouraged, "To awaken abilities at such a young age, your talent is good. Follow my father and work hard. I have high hopes for you!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo's thoughts moved, and he directly transmitted the mental techniques such as the "Elemental Spirit Technique" and the "Awakening Technique" into Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness.

Training new talents, providing opportunities, and helping his "good brothers" and "good sisters" to improve has almost become Liu Zimo's personal habit.

Every time he meets such a new person, he generously shares all the relevant techniques and secret arts he has mastered.

"Oh? Interesting!"

"So, Yao 18 is actually hiding in the sea of consciousness of this human cultivator!"

Liu Zimo just withdrew his divine sense, and the thoughts in Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness suddenly surged, constantly fluctuating.

"It seems that I really underestimated Yao 18 before."

"I didn't expect it to resist the temptation of a higher-level cultivator's sea of consciousness. It didn't rush over like those two idiots, Yao 11 and Yao 13, and throw itself into the net!"

"Very good!"

"Even this guy named Liu, who is a perverted human cultivator, seems to have not discovered its existence. It shows that our devouring spirit insect clan's innate ability has not failed!"

"As long as we don't actively jump out and expose ourselves, these ignorant human cultivators in the lower realms will never discover our traces!"

"..."

After receiving these thoughts and fluctuations, Liu Zimo's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Hu Xianzong again.

When he was teaching the mental techniques just now, he really didn't pay much attention.

He never expected that the devouring spirit insect he had been deliberately searching and hunting was actually hiding in the sea of consciousness of this young man right in front of him!

Swish!

Without much hesitation, Liu Zimo directly sent out a divine sense, forcefully attacked, and broke into Hu Xianzong's spiritual sea of consciousness!
