It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

After the words fell, Zhou An looked at Nightmare expressionlessly.

At this moment, Irving was still in his dream, but the nightmare was being stared at by Zhou An, which inexplicably gave rise to a chill from the bottom of his heart.

It is weird, has no human thinking, only acts on instinct, and has a strong desire to obliterate all living beings.

But at this moment, the nightmare's instinct told it that the living person in front of it carried a feeling that made its instinct tremble.

Yes, it's trembling.

Even though it was weird, even though it had endless killing intent on the living, at this moment, the nightmare trembled.

This kind of trembling comes from instinct, and even instinct makes it smell the same kind of smell in Zhou An.

This kind of similar flavor does not mean that Zhou An is weird, but because the weirdness that died in Zhou An's hands is extremely powerful. Even now, it still has an undetectable residual power.

The nightmare moved. Driven by instinct, it raised the knife and pot in its hands and pressed them towards Zhou An.

There are no fancy special effects, but this attack is in a nightmare, with powerful attack power.

As a nightmare, even seemingly ordinary attacks can be amplified to a terrifying degree by him.

Zhou An looked at Nightmare's attack, then looked at his empty hands, and thought in his mind: "So that's it, this is where Nightmare has the advantage."

When you enter the dream, there are no weapons. If you are a person who is good at weapons, your strength will definitely be greatly reduced.

After all, when you can't use your best weapon, it's equivalent to throwing aside all your most powerful attacks.

"Without a knife, I can't beat you to death?" Zhou An sneered.

There is a saying that goes well, who says you can’t stab someone to death without a gun?

Zhou An didn't have a knife, but the chef Ding's knife skills didn't necessarily use a knife.

for example……

As Zhou An stretched out his hand, a long knife made of water condensed on his right hand.

Level 5 skill, waterbending.

"It seems that dreams cannot be completely controlled by you, and there are things that you cannot control." Zhou An said calmly.

The book given by the emperor mentioned that when the nightmare has overwhelming power, then in the dream, people have no ability to resist, they are just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

For example, Owen.

If they are evenly matched, then in the dream world, the nightmare will have more advantages, and this advantage will often lead to victory in the end.

But if Nightmare is in a weak position, such as now, then there are limits to what Nightmare can control.

In the dream, it is indeed impossible to bring real objects in, but it does not mean that Zhou An cannot use his skills.

Water is invisible and difficult to control, but Zhou An is a person who can control water.

"Although this water knife has lost the sharpness and bonus of the Cold Marrow Knife, it is still useful enough." Zhou And said.

As he said these words, the nightmare attack arrived.

Zhou An lightly swung his sword, and Chef Ding used his sword-killing skills.

The next moment, a terrifying sword light exploded in the dream.

The dark green sword light carried the water flow and swept away towards the flaw that Yu Baijuan saw.

In the blink of an eye, the jet-black sword light seemed to enter a deserted place, not only defeating the nightmare's attack, but even coming out of the nightmare's body.

Nightmare's attack stopped, and even his body stood stiffly like a piece of wood.

The water knife in Zhou An's hand dispersed, and everything returned to calm.

The next moment, Nightmare's body was falling apart like sand in contact with water.

"If it's this intensity, it's not enough." Zhou An said calmly.

As Zhou An said these words, the nightmare in front of him was completely turned into ashes in a gust of wind.

On the ground, Owen held his head and shivered in pain. The middle two just now had disappeared.

The surrounding scenery is changing, from clear to blurry, like an oil painting that has been splashed with water.

Zhou An's vision gradually blurred, and in the blink of an eye, everything returned to calm.

He was no longer in that dark and cold dreamland, but appeared in the town of Zhenshi.

"Is it solved?" Hou Sizhou asked as he watched Zhou An return to normal.

Zhou An nodded: "No problem."

Two members of the Town Spies stepped forward, checked Owen's condition, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, you are fine."

Owen has recovered, but is still in a coma.

After all, he has been attacked by nightmares, and it will probably take him a while to make up for the losses.

Zhou Andao: "Master Hou, if everyone who has ever interacted with me dreams about me, then things will be serious."

He had experienced that dream firsthand.

To be honest, Nightmare was very strong, but when she met him, she couldn't display her abilities no matter how strong she was.

But if it were anyone else, everything would be uncertain.

Hou Sizhou nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, if there is a problem, there will be a solution. We will come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Zhou An believed in Hou Sizhou very much. To be able to sit in this position and lead the entire state's Zhenguisi requires not only strong strength and strength, but also top-notch ability to handle affairs.

The weird things that people have dealt with are like the crucian carp crossing the river, there must be a way to deal with them.

And Zhou An also said before that if you need help, just ask.

Hou Sizhou hasn't brought it up yet, which proves that there is no need to care at all.

On this trip, Zhou An also came to get some information, and out of curiosity, he solved a nightmare.

With the matter finished, Zhou An naturally did not stop and said goodbye to Hou Sizhou.

After saying goodbye, he hurried towards the house.

What Zhou An didn't notice was that the woman in black was not only confused, but also excited, as if she had discovered something interesting.

——

Nothing unusual happened along the way from Zhensi to home.

Zhou An had just returned home when he saw the boy from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce waiting outside.

The boy was holding a big box in his hand and was waiting eagerly at the door.

When he saw Zhou An, he immediately greeted him with a flattering smile.

"Master Zhou, you are finally back." The boy said flatteringly.

This is Mr. Zhou, and he is eager to curry favor at this time.

Zhou An smiled and said, "I've been waiting for a long time. Is this what Brother Meng has prepared for me?"

Previously, Meng Jiang said that things would be done today, and it seems that what he said was true.

Meng Jiang's ability to do things was indeed high enough, and it was done in less than half a day.

It’s no wonder that he can secure the top spot in the Maplewood Prefecture Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

The boy nodded and bowed and said: "Of course we will prepare the things Master Zhou wants as soon as possible. Here are the thirty books prepared by Manager Meng. They are all good things and cost a lot of money. Please accept them with Master Zhou's approval. "

Zhou An took it in his hand and said, "Well, thank Brother Meng for me."

The boy looked afraid and waved his hands repeatedly: "Master Zhou, this is serious. You are a distinguished guest of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. This is what you should do."

Otherwise, the bigger the place, the more smart people there are.

Although the servant does not have a high status in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, he can come here specifically to deliver what Zhou An needs, and he is also someone close to Meng Jiang, so he naturally has some discernment.

He could see that Zhou An was in a hurry, so he didn't talk much, just pretending to be a familiar face.

"Master Zhou, there is something else going on at the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, so I won't interrupt you." The young man said goodbye politely and left the street.

After the boy left, Zhou An took the woman in black back home without any ink marks.

After returning home, he was ready to get down to business.

When the woman in black returned home, she started to become slimy again.

However, after Zhou An was dismissed, he ran to the chair to play again.

After sending away the woman in black, Zhou An also started to do his own business.

"Read the book Meng Jiang gave me."

The enthusiasm of reading hundreds of volumes has now been upgraded to the schedule.

He has a feeling that when he upgrades all his skills to level six, it will be the moment when he enters the realm of innateness.

Zhou An is now not only for proficiency, but also for the growth of his own strength.

Skills are like external conditions, and the Qi in the body is the essence.

They complement each other and no one can live without the other.

In the wooden box, among the thirty books given by Meng Jiang, there were not only exercises, but also important experiences of the technique school.

Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has a lot of money, so it is not easy to receive so many books in Maplewood State.

"Open the liver!"

Zhou An didn't hesitate. After grabbing a book, he began to get excited silently.

Copying requires concentration.

In fact, each of Zhou An's abilities requires concentration to be rewarding.

It's not that he hasn't thought about multi-tasking, but if you multi-task this thing, your proficiency will be lost, and everything will be in vain.

"Fortunately, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is also very well prepared with paper and pens." Zhou An thought to himself as he picked up paper and pen.

He stopped staying and began to eat silently.

When the brush was dipped in ink and landed on the paper, under Zhou An's concentrated writing, the smoke of proficiency fell as expected.

In front of my eyes, a line of text appeared.

[Read a hundred volumes +1]

Although he was used to it, Zhou An was still a little excited when he saw the improvement in reading hundreds of volumes.

This is normal.

Even a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time will be excited the moment he picks up his gun and mounts his horse, wishing he could kill the enemy without leaving any trace behind.

"all!"

For Emperor Gan, only one word is enough.

Soon, in the dark room, Zhou An lit an oil lamp and started to get mad.

——

When a person is doing something seriously, time always passes quickly.

If you spend all your time insomnia in one night, it will be like spending a long winter night.

But if it was used for liver, then Zhou An would like to have a longer night.

"Volume is unknown and may not necessarily be rewarding."

"The liver is known, and hard work will be rewarded."

"Liver is what people should do!"

A certain Liver Emperor wrote, thinking while writing.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window, Zhou An finally recovered from the liver emperor state.

Last night, he originally wanted to experiment with the increase in reading hundreds of volumes, but he accidentally got into trouble and forgot to practice the Holy Spirit Demonic Body and fortune telling.

But it's not a big problem. Zhou An feels that tonight is a good start.

"Take a break and take Xiaohei out for a meal, otherwise she will make trouble again." Zhou An thought.

As for whether Xiao Hei recognizes this artistic name, Zhou An doesn't think it matters, because he just thinks so.

"We're going out to eat." After Zhou An simply washed up, he was ready to call the woman in black.

At this time, the woman in black was still sitting next to the chair, but her sitting posture was not normal.

Ordinary people sit upright on a chair with their backs leaning against the chair.

The woman in black sat down facing the back of the chair in order to move around more easily.

Because the woman in black had her back to Zhou An at the moment, Zhou An could clearly see the outline of the woman in black below the waist when she sat down.

Zhou An just glanced at it twice and didn't take it seriously.

——We are all used to it.

But he felt that the woman in black today seemed different.

At this time, the woman in black put her face full of taboo on the back of the chair, which felt heavy due to the sense of oppression.

What caught Zhou An's attention was not this, but the fact that the woman in black had closed her eyes and was breathing very evenly.

There was still a hint of a faint smile on that face that was full of a sense of taboo.

A very relaxed smile, like having a sweet dream.

"Dream? Dreaming?" Zhou An was slightly stunned when he saw this.

He thought of something.

To be honest, even if the woman in black wants to experience sleep that she has not experienced for a long time, as soon as Zhou An goes out, she will naturally follow her.

But in this situation, it is obvious that the woman in black seems to have no tendency to wake up.

"etc."

Seeing this scene, Zhou An frowned slightly.

Something occurred to him.

--nightmare.

When he fell asleep at this time, it felt like he had a sweet dream. In addition, it was a special period of nightmares, so it was difficult not to let Zhou An think about this.

Thinking of this, Zhou An came to the woman in black and reached out to touch the woman's head.

The woman in black still showed no signs of waking up. She even tilted her head into Zhou An's hand and leaned on it because she felt Zhou An's breath.

With this peaceful look, Zhou An was sure that the woman in black was definitely dreaming, and she still encountered a nightmare.

"It shouldn't be. She has never slept. Even when I rest, she snuggles up next to me. Why is she sleeping at this time?" Zhou An was surprised.

But clearly, now is not the time to be surprised.

Zhou An knew that the woman in black must have fallen into a nightmare.

Of course, Zhou An now has a new doubt.

It is obvious that the strength of the woman in black is unquestionable, which can be seen from her wild way of destroying a mountain by herself.

Don't think that the woman in black is stupid, it's just because she is with Zhou An.

Just like those iceberg goddesses, they are not necessarily icebergs, they are just icebergs to others, such as Ye Shuang.

The essence of the woman in black is a coven, a strange one, and the source of terror.

So even in a dream, with the temper of the woman in black, she would definitely beat up the nightmare in minutes and then come out easily.

Now that this scene appeared, Zhou An thought of some key points.

"It sounds like it's a sweet dream. In other words, she doesn't want to wake up yet, and she hasn't had enough fun." Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly, and he had already thought of the key point.

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason that would prevent the woman in black from dreaming.

Zhou An sighed, and then took out the dream incense from the pink purse in his arms: "I want to see what kind of sweet dream you had."

In fact, Zhou An is also very curious. He has been curious about the life experience of the woman in black from beginning to end, so now that he sees the woman in black entering the dreamland, Zhou An becomes interested and plans to go in and take a look.

Thinking of this, Zhou An lit the dream incense without hesitation.

When the dream incense was lit, the next moment, the scenery in front of Zhou An changed again, and the psychedelic feeling appeared again.

After the psychedelic feeling disappeared, everything in front of me began to gradually change.

First it became like a large mosaic, and then the mosaic gradually became clearer.

Zhou An is a person who has codes in his eyes but no codes in his heart, so naturally he doesn't realize it.

When everything became clear, Zhou An finally saw where he was.

At this moment, he was in a huge palace.

The palace is luxurious, with a sense of solemnity and splendor.

Every item here is ingenious.

Above the palace, there was something completely inconsistent with the palace.

--Chair.

An old chair is placed in the C position of the palace.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is normal to visit a huge throne here.

But it just happened to be a chair.

Zhou An recognized this chair, it was the one that the woman in black liked most at home.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the woman in black is swaying left and right on the chair, looking happy.

Not only that, there is a huge cage below.

In the cage, a pale white trigram-shaped creature was trembling.

Without looking carefully, Zhou An also knew that the strange shape of this gossip was the nightmare in the dream of the woman in black.

but……

This nightmare is too miserable.

It was obvious that the nightmare was imprisoned by the woman in black, and the instinct made the nightmare feel fear, even overpowering the desire for destruction.

"What the hell is this? Xiao Hei doesn't want to come out and even lets the nightmare build a palace for her?" Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly.

While thinking this way, the scene in front of me changed again.

The woman in black stared at Nightmare and snorted.

The nightmare trembled, and a man appeared.

This man looks exactly like Zhou An, but his clothes are different.

I was dressed in such a coquettish way, with all the things I should and shouldn't have on my body, giving off an air of awesomeness about me.

Seeing this scene, Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly and thought: "In Xiao Hei's heart, this is actually like this..."

He really didn't expect that such a gentle, elegant, easy-going and temperamental man like himself would be misunderstood by the woman in black and misunderstood as such a coquettish man.

Am I angry?

That's absolutely impossible!

Zhou An shook his head.

While he was thinking this, the woman in black started to move again.

The woman in black clapped her hands.

Next to "Zhou An", a chair of the same style appeared.

Then, "Zhou An" got on the chair and started swinging from left to right.

Not only that, the woman in black also started to sway left and right.

Those big, dazed eyes were filled with endless happiness and joy.

For women in black, true happiness is so simple and unpretentious.

The two people's swaying seemed extremely funny in this solemn palace.

However, this funny atmosphere diluted the solemn atmosphere of the palace a lot, making it seem a little more lively.

Zhou An felt more and more that although this scene was very special, it somehow made him feel a little warm.

To be honest, apart from my good brother Yu Hang, the only one I have spent the longest time with is the woman in black.

The two are now in an alternative state of symbiosis, and the woman in black's usually innocent appearance also makes Zhou An feel happy.

So after seeing this scene, Zhou An felt that he should simply let the woman in black play for a while longer.

After all, the happiness of a woman in black is really simple.

Dreams are the best reflection of a person's heart.

Usually, when Zhou An takes the woman in black out, the woman in black is very happy.

But what the woman in black really wants is for Zhou An to play with her chair.

Chairs are very valuable items to women in black.

That chair is the most important thing besides Zhou An.

She will only share it with Zhou An.

"It's so strange, take another look."

Thinking of this, Zhou An watched silently.

But then, Zhou An felt that his emotion was a bit wasted.

Because...the woman in black doesn't know tiredness at all!

She just played with the chair like this, and she actually played with it for a long time.

The time in the dream is empty, but Zhou An can feel that he has been playing for a long time.

"It's time for a reminder."

The addiction has passed, and now Zhou An can only disturb him.

Zhou An coughed lightly.

When the woman in black, who was in her own little world, heard this voice, her body immediately stiffened, like a piece of wood, when she saw Zhou An's position.

In those eyes, besides being confused, there was also a hint of surprise.

Zhou An was about to speak.

At this moment, the woman in black suddenly tilted her body and fell directly on the chair, closing her eyes tightly and chanting rhythmically.

"Dream...dream..."

This look is like an ostrich with its head buried in the soil.

Zhou An knew about this situation, as if he said he didn't want it, but secretly wrote some kind of article about the two of them, and then happened to be seen.

"Roar!"

Just then, a roar came.

The nightmare in the cage discovered another living person and made a strange roaring sound.

As soon as this roaring sound came out, the woman in black immediately changed from the ostrich state.

The woman in black glared at Nightmare.

As a powerful gathering of conspirators, the woman in black seemed to have a sense of oppression from a superior person.

The gossip-shaped nightmare immediately returned to normal, looking trembling.

Zhou An touched the head of the woman in black: "Okay, I've had enough addiction. Kill it and go back."

Zhou An selectively ignored what he just saw.

What else can you do if you don't ignore it?

A beating?

That's impossible, there's nothing wrong with that, there's no need.

The woman in black said oh, changed her previous appearance, and became very well-behaved again.

There was no way he could not be well-behaved, and Zhou An exposed him.

If Zhou An doesn't take her out to play, she will be the one who loses the most.

Zhou An said nothing, waiting for the woman in black to take action.

He didn't need to do it himself. This level of weirdness could be easily grasped by the woman in black with one finger.

But at this moment, the always obedient woman in black suddenly pointed to her head as if she had thought of something.

"Dream……"

Zhou An was slightly startled.

Although I have been with the woman in black for a long time, many things are self-evident, but it is still difficult to find out just by relying on one word.

"What do you mean?" Zhou An asked.

The woman in black rolled her eyes as if trying to form words.

However, her little language reserve can only express a simple meaning. If it is really complicated, it will not be used at this time.

Thinking of this, the woman in black became a little anxious.

She was indeed anxious, and she wanted to express it, but was unable to do so.

Just when the woman in black was anxious, she suddenly saw Nightmare beside her. She seemed to have thought of something, with a happy expression on her face.

She really couldn't express it, but she could express it through dreams.

Thinking of this, the woman in black turned to look at Nightmare.

The nightmare shivered, its instinct made it fearful, and even made it want to die.

Because it feels like the woman in black is the biggest weirder thing.

Just when the woman in black looked over, the nightmare began to use its ability without even having to speak.

The next moment, the palace began to change.

To be precise, it was not that the palace had changed, but that the two disharmonious chairs in the palace had simply disappeared.

As the chair disappeared, the very angry "Zhou An" also disappeared.

And where the chair disappeared, an extremely luxurious throne appeared.

Above the throne, there are even fist-sized luminous pearls inlaid, which are emitting bright light.

This throne is more in line with the temperament of the palace. Compared with the old chair, it is much taller.

"Something weird."

Zhou An frowned when he saw this scene, as if something was about to happen.

In front of him, the woman in black suddenly did this to him, and he knew that something big was coming.

Sure enough, when Zhou An was thinking this, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.

The footsteps came from outside the palace.

Zhou An followed the source of the footsteps and saw the owner of the footsteps.

When he saw this person, he was slightly startled.

At the gate of the palace, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked in from the outside.

The middle-aged man carries an ancient aura, and at the same time, every step seems to be taken slowly after careful calculation.

Not only that, in the middle-aged man's right hand, there are four books.

Zhou An saw the words "Extreme Domain Casting" written on the top cover.

When it comes to this, he is very familiar with it.

This was the first time he came into contact with the Eight Special Skills, and he even destroyed this Eight Special Skills for the sake of the members of Destruction Point.

The middle-aged man in front of him held four books in his hands. Zhou An had a guess that he could put them together with the eight special skills.

"Maybe this is also the eighth unique skill." Zhou An thought to himself.

He couldn't think of anything else but this idea.

Not only that, Zhou An also felt that this middle-aged man seemed to give him a very familiar feeling.

"I seem to have seen it somewhere." Zhou An thought quickly in his mind.

A person in the industry thinks very fast when thinking about things in his mind.

The harder Zhou An thought, the more the figure of the middle-aged noble man in front of him overlapped with another figure.

After a while, another figure became clearer and clearer, and Zhou An already knew the identity of this man.

——The man on the edge of the cliff.

When the woman in black used Tongtian Arithmetic, Zhou An had seen the man made of light and the eye at the bottom of the cliff.

Although I didn't see the man's facial features, at this moment, the aura of the middle-aged luxurious man in front of me was exactly the same as that man.

Zhou An can be sure that this is definitely that person.

"In other words, the dream made Xiao Hei think of a lot of things. What she is showing me now through the dream should be what happened in the past." Zhou An thought.

It would be a lie to say that you are not curious about these things.

The unknown ancient era, that terrifying past, and the life experience of the woman in black are all mysteries that make people want to uncover them.

Zhou An had actually guessed that the woman in black was the baby girl at that time.

But Zhou An knew almost nothing about this middle-aged noble man.

Now, given this opportunity to understand, Zhou An will naturally not let go of any detail.

In Zhou An's eyes, the middle-aged noble man seemed not to see him at all. He walked to the throne of the palace and sat down silently.

After a while, the middle-aged noble man began to flip through the book in his hand.

The first is Absolute Domain Casting, followed by the next three books.

He turned the pages very quickly, and in just one stick of incense, he had finished all four books.

Zhou An was curious and stepped forward to see the content, but unfortunately, the content above was a huge mosaic.

"If you can't see it, it doesn't matter." He didn't feel much either.

At this time, the middle-aged noble man who had finished reading all the books placed the four books on the armrest of the throne and fell into deep thought.

After another moment of burning incense, he came back to his senses.

"Sigh... I used all my calculations to collect these four books and eight unique skills. There are still three books that are still missing."

There was a hint of sigh in the tone of the middle-aged noble man: "At the beginning, the death of the founder of Eight Special Skills would never be so simple. I will definitely be able to find the root cause."

"The source of strange places, the huge cracks that tear the sky and the earth apart, and the shadows that keep lingering in the cracks."

"Every shadow is so terrifying. I even saw those earth-shattering figures from the distant era."

"It's a pity that I don't dare to see more."

Every sentence represents a secret.

These secrets made Zhou An frown.

Afterwards, he sorted it out for a while and came up with a few key points.

First, the death of the founder of Eight Special Skills was probably not an internal fight.

Secondly, cracks are a place where weirdness often occurs, or even the source, but he doesn't know where the cracks are, and there seems to be no cracks now.

Thirdly, inside the cracks, there are big figures from the past.

Other than that, nothing else is known.

"Keep looking." Zhou An planned to continue reading.

At this moment, the middle-aged noble man suddenly thought of something, stood up, his tone became extremely excited, and slowly spoke...
