Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 243

As night falls, the venue of the Dou Secret Society is illuminated like a dream by the stars and magic lights. Jiang Sheng stood on the stage of the finals, staring at his opponent, the magician Kodak, with burning eyes. Koda was wearing a dark purple robe, holding a staff inlaid with sapphire in his hand, and his eyes shone with confidence and wisdom.

"Jiang Sheng, your strength really impresses me." Kodak spoke first, his voice was low and magnetic, "But today, I will let you see the true power of magic."

Jiang Sheng's heart trembled, but he did not show the slightest fear. He took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and replied: "Kodak, I also look forward to competing with you. Let's see who's better at it."

With the referee's order, the final officially began. Koda quickly waved his staff and chanted a complex spell. In an instant, a huge magic array appeared above the arena, with colorful lights shining in it. When Jiang Sheng saw this, he moved and quickly dodged aside. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands, preparing to launch his own stunt.

However, Kodak did not leave many opportunities for Jiang Sheng. He waved his staff again, and saw a dazzling beam of light shooting out of the magic circle, hitting Jiang Sheng's vitals. Jiang Sheng dwarfed his body and cleverly avoided the blow. At the same time, he pushed out with both hands, and a powerful wave of air swept towards Kodak.

Kodak's face remained unchanged, and he waved his staff lightly. The beam of light instantly dispersed and turned into countless small rays of light, which shot toward Jiang Sheng like dense arrows. Jiang Sheng's figure was like the wind, dodging in and out of the light while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably. Each collision triggers strong energy fluctuations, leaving the surrounding audience breathless. Jiang Sheng knew in his heart that when fighting against a magician like Kodak, he must find his flaws in order to have a chance of victory.

Kodak remained calm under Jiang Sheng's series of fierce attacks. He quickly waved his staff and chanted in a low voice, and a layer of faint blue light suddenly appeared around him, which was his defensive magic - Spiritual Shield. Jiang Sheng's attacks came like a tide, but they were all blocked by this seemingly fragile layer of blue light, making waves of roars.

Jiang Sheng frowned, knowing that such an attack could not cause substantial damage to Kodak. He took a deep breath and tried to find a flaw in the spirit shield.

"Kodak, your spirit shield is indeed powerful." Jiang Sheng said while attacking, "But I don't believe it can last forever."

Kodak smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his voice: "Jiang Sheng, if you can break my spiritual shield, I will be convinced."

Jiang Sheng said nothing. He concentrated on observing the fluctuations of the spirit shield. He noticed that whenever he attacked, the blue light of the Spirit Shield would dim slightly. Although it was only a moment, Jiang Sheng captured this tiny change.

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he moved, and his figure flashed next to Kodak like a phantom. He clenched his hands into fists, and a powerful energy condensed in his fists. When Koda saw this, he immediately waved his staff and the spirit shield reappeared.

However, Jiang Sheng did not directly attack the spirit shield. He shortened his stature and avoided the defensive range of the spirit shield, and then punched the ground at Koda's feet.

"Earth cracking wave!" Jiang Sheng shouted.

The ground cracked open instantly, and a huge amount of energy spurted out from the crack, directly impacting the spirit refining shield. The spirit refining shield shook violently under the impact, and the blue light dimmed a lot in an instant.

Kodak's expression changed. He didn't expect Jiang Sheng to think of such an attack method. He quickly increased the energy input on the staff, trying to stabilize the spirit shield.

But Jiang Sheng has seized this opportunity. He moved again and appeared in front of Kodak in an instant. A punch blasted out, directly hitting the weakest point of the spirit refining shield.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the spirit shield shattered instantly. Kodak was also shaken by the force and took several steps back.

Kodak grunted, flew backwards, and fell heavily on the edge of the ring. He struggled to stand up, but was unable to do so. Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then slowly walked towards Kodak who fell on the ground.

"You lost." Jiang Sheng said calmly.

After Jiang Sheng shattered the spirit shield with one punch, Kodak staggered, obviously unable to maintain his previous calmness. He stared at Jiang Sheng in disbelief with his eyes widened, and the staff in his hand dropped weakly.

The entire venue was in an uproar, and the audience stood up and applauded, cheering and applauding one after another. The magic lights swayed in the night sky, as if they were also cheering for Jiang Sheng's victory.

Jiang Sheng stood on the ring, his chest rising and falling slightly. He felt the joy of victory, but his face remained calm. He walked towards Kodak and reached out his hand to help him up.

"Kodak, you are a respectable opponent." Jiang Sheng's voice was low and sincere, "I learned a lot from this battle."

Kodak raised his head and looked at Jiang Sheng's outstretched hand, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Sheng.

"Jiang Sheng, you won." Kodak's voice was a little hoarse, "I admire your strength and wisdom. I am convinced that I lost."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the hostility between them disappeared at this moment. They supported each other and walked off the stage, receiving warm applause and cheers from the audience.

After the dust settled in the finals of the Dou Secret Club, the atmosphere at the venue reached a climax. Under the gaze of everyone, the organizer of the Dou Secret Society slowly walked onto the ring, holding a beautiful wooden box and a heavy money bag in his hands.

The host announced in a loud voice: "After fierce competition, the champion of this year's secret fight was born! He is Jiang Sheng! In order to commend his outstanding performance, we have specially prepared generous prizes."

When Jiang Sheng heard his name, a surprised smile appeared on his face. He walked quickly onto the ring and bowed to the organizer to thank him.

The host opened the wooden box and displayed a handful of exquisite drawings in front of everyone. "This is the drawing of the secret treasure Thousand Chance Umbrella." The host introduced, "The Thousand Chance Umbrella is a legendary artifact with ever-changing abilities. We believe that this drawing will be able to fulfill its role in Jiang Sheng's hands. There is value.”

Jiang Sheng carefully took the drawing, his eyes flashing with excitement. He touched the drawing gently, as if he could feel the ancient magic contained in it.

Immediately afterwards, the host handed over the heavy bag of money. "That's a million in Brown money."

The host said, "I hope this bonus will help Jiang Sheng go further in the future."

Jiang Sheng took the money bag and was filled with gratitude. He knows that this honor and award are not only recognition of his strength, but also encouragement and support for his future path.

After the award ceremony, the crowd gradually dispersed, but the joy of victory and lingering magic were still permeated around the ring. Jiang Sheng stood in the corner of the ring, holding the blueprint and prize money of the secret treasure Thousand Chance Umbrella tightly in his hands, searching the crowd with his eyes.

At this time, Kodak's figure appeared in Jiang Sheng's sight. She stepped forward with a sincere smile on her face and extended her hand to Jiang Sheng.

"Jiang Sheng, congratulations on winning the championship." Kodak's voice was clear and sweet. "I am deeply impressed by your strength and wisdom. I would like to invite you to join my mercenary group. Let's go on adventures together to find more treasures." and secrets.”

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then showed a thoughtful look. He thanked Kodak for his kindness, but he had his own ideas in mind. He raised his head and looked at Kodak firmly.

"Kodak, I'm very grateful for your invitation." Jiang Sheng's voice was calm and powerful, "But I want to form a team by myself to pursue my dreams and goals. However, if you are willing, I hope to invite you to join My team.”

A look of surprise appeared on Kodak's face, but it was quickly replaced by excitement and anticipation. She looked at Jiang Sheng, curiosity and appreciation sparkling in her eyes.

"Oh? Are you planning to form your own team?" Kodak asked curiously, "Then what are your ideas and plans?"

Jiang Sheng smiled slightly and began to describe his plans and vision in detail. He talked about his desire for the unknown world, his love for exploration and adventure, and his determination to grow and fight with like-minded partners.

Kodak listened with interest and nodded in agreement from time to time. She looked at Jiang Sheng, and a strong resonance and expectation surged in her heart. She knew that adventuring with someone like Jiang Sheng would be a journey full of excitement and reward.

"Jiang Sheng, your idea is very attractive to me." Kodak's face showed a determined expression, "I am willing to join your team and pursue dreams and goals together."

Jiang Sheng returned to the inn, filled with curiosity and expectation about the drawings of the secret treasure Thousand Chance Umbrella. He pushed open the door, entered the room and immediately found himself in a mysterious space constructed by magic.

This space seems to be an independent small world, with its four walls made of flowing magic runes, emitting a faint light. There is a suspended magic table in the center of the space, with the precious Thousand Chance Umbrella drawings placed on it.

Jiang Sheng stood in front of the magic table, took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the edge of the drawing with his fingertips. His eyes shone with concentration, as if he wanted to carve every detail on the drawing deeply into his mind.

As he breathed, the drawings on the magic table began to glow slightly, as if they had some strange resonance with Jiang Sheng's soul. Jiang Sheng's fingers gently slid over the drawing, and he could feel the flow and changes of the magic lines on the drawing.

He closed his eyes, and the shape and structure of the Thousand Chance Umbrella emerged in his mind. He imagined the changes and use of this umbrella in battle, and every detail played out in his mind like a movie.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and Jiang Sheng was completely immersed in the study of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella drawings. His fingers kept moving on the drawing, sometimes touching and sometimes pressing, as if they were having a silent dialogue with the magic lines on the drawing.

The entire mysterious space is filled with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. Jiang Sheng's breathing gradually became steady and deep, and his mind merged with the magic lines on the drawing, as if he had become a part of this mysterious space.

When Jiang Sheng's imagination reached its climax, the mysterious space suddenly fluctuated, and then, a brand new room slowly emerged. This room exudes a simple and mysterious atmosphere, surrounded by various production tools and precious materials. It is obviously a workshop specially used to make secret treasures.

Jiang Sheng was attracted by this sudden change. He walked into the room curiously and glanced around. There is a huge workbench in the center of the room, with various metal pieces, gems and strange magical runes scattered on it. Various drawings and guides for making secret treasures are hung on the walls, as if they are waiting for a skilled craftsman to come and explore. "It seems that this room is used to make the Thousand Chance Umbrella." Jiang Sheng said to himself, his heart full of excitement and expectation. But soon, he also realized the crux of the problem - to make a secret treasure like the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella, some special materials must be needed.

He walked over to a table, picked up a drawing and studied it carefully. The drawings detailed a list of materials needed to make the Thousand Chance Umbrella, including rare magic metals, powerful magic crystals, and some rare materials that can only be found in specific environments.

Jiang Sheng stepped out of the door of the inn, and the early morning sunlight shone on his body, giving him a golden glow. He took a deep breath of fresh air, his eyes shining with determination. He knew that in order to make the Thousand Chance Umbrella, he had to collect the required materials as soon as possible, and Kodak, as an experienced explorer, would be his indispensable partner.

He walked through the bustling streets, already planning the route to the Mystic Hall. Along the way, his steps were firm and powerful, as if nothing could stop his determination to move forward.

When Jiang Sheng arrived at the Mystic Hall, Kodak was already waiting there. Wearing a tight-fitting adventure outfit and wearing various tools and magic props around her waist, she looked both capable and mysterious. Seeing Jiang Sheng's arrival, Kodak showed a happy smile on his face.

"Jiang Sheng, you're here!" Kodak came forward and greeted warmly, "I've prepared everything, we can set off at any time."

Jiang Sheng nodded and responded: "Well, I'm ready. Our goal this time is to collect the materials needed to make the Thousand Chance Umbrella. This will be an adventure full of challenges."

Jiang Sheng and Kodak followed the plan and embarked on a journey to the mysterious forest. The Mysterious Forest is located on the edge of the continent. It is an ancient forest shrouded in mist. According to legend, countless rare magical creatures and precious materials are hidden.

As they went deeper into the forest, the surrounding scenery became increasingly weird. The tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and there is a light mist filling the branches and leaves, making it seem like you are in a mysterious fairyland. There are thick leaves and moss underfoot, and there is a slight rustling sound with every step.

Jiang Sheng and Kodak moved forward cautiously, always alert to the movements around them. Suddenly, a low roar came from deep in the forest, making the leaves rustle. They immediately stopped and looked warily at the direction from which the sound came.

"It seems that we have encountered the first stumbling block." Kodak whispered, already holding the magic wand in her hand.

Suddenly, a burst of powerful power erupted from the core of the Mysterious Forest, and the mental strength of the two people also suffered a huge impact.

The originally quiet forest suddenly became noisy. Countless monsters came from all directions. Their roars and roars shook the entire forest.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this!" Kodak exclaimed, her face turning pale.

Jiang Sheng's face also darkened. He quickly looked around and saw all kinds of monsters approaching quickly - some monsters were huge and had rough skin, like warriors wearing heavy armor; They have strong shapes, sharp eyes, and sharp claws flashing coldly in the sun; some monsters are covered with scales, have long and powerful tails, and look extremely ferocious.

"Quick, find a place to hide!" Jiang Sheng shouted. He took Kodak's hand and ran towards the nearest big tree. They quickly climbed to the top of the tree and were hidden among the dense leaves.

However, the tide of monsters was too powerful, and the tree they were in was soon surrounded by a group of monsters. These monsters jumped up and tried to climb the trees to attack them. Jiang Sheng and Kodak kept waving their weapons and started a fierce battle with the monsters.

But as time went by, they gradually felt powerless. There are too many monsters, and they seem to have endless power. Jiang Sheng was anxious, and he knew he had to find a way out as soon as possible.

"Kodak, run over there and I'll lure them away!" Jiang Sheng shouted, pointing in another direction and saying to Kodak.

Kodak nodded, she understood what Jiang Sheng meant. She took a deep breath, then jumped down from the tree and ran quickly in the direction Jiang Sheng pointed.

When Jiang Sheng saw this, he immediately jumped down from the tree and ran in the opposite direction to Kodak.

However, the power of the monster tide was too huge, and Jiang Sheng was soon caught up by a group of monsters. He tried his best to fight the monster, but was eventually knocked to the ground by a huge monster.

When he struggled to stand up, he found that he had arrived in a strange place. The surrounding environment became more strange and mysterious, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression in the air. Jiang Sheng realized that he had accidentally broken into the core area of ​​the mysterious forest.

Jiang Sheng struggled to stand up, and the sight in front of him shocked him. He found himself in an open area shrouded in mist, surrounded by a strong aura of magic. In this mysterious land, two huge monsters were fighting each other. The powerful energy fluctuations they emitted almost made Jiang Sheng unable to stand still.

The appearance of these two monsters is extremely strange. One of the monsters was as towering as a mountain, its whole body covered with hard black scales, shining with a metallic sheen. Its head was huge, its horns were sharp, and its blood-red eyes shone with cruel light. The limbs of this monster are thick and powerful, and every step it takes can shake the earth. It is obviously a beast of infinite strength.

The other monster appears more elegant and mysterious. Its body is slender and strong, covered with silver-white hair, as bright as the moonlight. There is a pair of slender ears on its head, which tremble slightly, as if listening to something. The eyes of this monster are deep blue, revealing a light of wisdom. Its tail is long and fluffy, fluttering in the wind like a white cloud.

During the fight, the two monsters actually uttered human words. Their conversation shocked Jiang Sheng even more.

"Black Dragon, why are you always my enemy?" The voice of the silver-white monster was clear and high-pitched.

"Your existence is the biggest threat to me." The black monster's voice was low and hoarse. "As long as one of us still exists, this forest will never be peaceful."

"Our fight has been going on for hundreds of years. Can't you put down your hatred and live together peacefully?" The silver-white Warcraft tried to persuade.

"Peaceful coexistence? That's impossible!" the black monster roared, "Unless you can defeat me one day, this battle will never end."

Jiang Sheng hid behind the trees in the distance and watched the fierce battle with fear. He realized that the strength of these two monsters had at least reached the super-god level, far beyond his imagination. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if these two monsters discovered him.

At this time, an idea flashed through Jiang Sheng's mind - he might be able to take advantage of the fight between the two monsters to find an opportunity to escape from this core area. He carefully observed the battlefield, looking for possible escape routes.

Jiang Sheng hid behind the dense trees and nervously observed the fight between the two monsters. He knew that he could not intervene in such a battle and could only wait for an opportunity to escape. With every collision and attack by the monsters, the surrounding trees trembled, as if they might fall down at any time.

This fight lasted for a long time, until the sky gradually darkened, the two monsters gradually separated and each retreated to the corner. Their auras were still powerful and sharp, but they obviously consumed a huge amount of energy.

When Jiang Sheng saw this, his heart moved. He knew this was his best chance to escape. He carefully poked his head out from behind the tree and observed the movements of the monsters. After confirming that they had no intention of continuing to fight for the time being, he quickly slipped out of his hiding place and ran wildly in the opposite direction.

He didn't dare to stay at all and just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. However, as he was running, there was a sudden vibration under his feet. He was startled and almost fell to the ground. He stabilized his body, looked around, and found a stone door not far ahead.

This stone gate was hidden in a dense thorn bush. If it hadn't been exposed due to the vibration, Jiang Sheng might not have been able to discover it. He took a closer look and saw ancient runes carved on the stone door, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

Jiang Sheng's heart moved. Could this be a relic left by an ancient powerful man? He tried to push the stone door and found that it opened slowly. He took a deep breath and bravely walked in.

After entering the stone door, he found himself in a spacious and mysterious space. This space is surrounded by various strange runes and patterns, as if it were a training ground for ancient powerful men. In the center, there was a huge statue. The face of the statue was blurry, but Jiang Sheng could feel a powerful aura emanating from the statue.

Jiang Sheng looked around, feeling both surprised and happy. He didn't expect that he would discover an ancient ruins under such circumstances. He walked cautiously, for fear of touching the mechanism here.
The faint luster emitted by the gems on the ground not only illuminated the space, but also illuminated Jiang Sheng's heart. He felt an inexplicable sense of peace and security, as if this was a safe haven. However, he also knew that he could not let down his guard because the place was still full of unknowns and dangers.

When he noticed the ancient book on the statue's pedestal, he could hardly contain his excitement. He gently picked up the book and turned to the first page. The desire for history and secrets burned in his heart.

Jiang Sheng flipped through the ancient book page by page, but the spells in the book made him extremely confused. These words were different from any language he knew, as if they were a long-lost mysterious language. He tried to interpret it with his own understanding, but every time he could only understand some scattered fragments and could not connect them to a complete meaning.

He frowned, feeling frustrated. He knew that these spells might well hide the secrets of this secret room, and might even be the key to escaping from this dangerous area. However, he couldn't interpret it, which made him feel extremely anxious.

Just when Jiang Sheng felt desperate, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the center of the secret room. There, he was surprised to find a mysterious weapon quietly inserted on a stone platform. This weapon emits a faint blue light, as if it is alive.

When Jiang Sheng approached the mysterious weapon, he was immediately attracted by its unique appearance. This weapon is about three feet long, and the blade is a deep blue, as if it can swallow up the surrounding light, making it impossible to see its full extent. The sword is engraved with complex and exquisite patterns, which seem to be an ancient text, telling endless legends.

The sword hilt was made of an unknown material, cold and hard to the touch, and was inlaid with several bright gems, shining with a charming light. The shape of the hilt is ergonomic and feels very comfortable in the hand.

What's even more peculiar is that there is a small rune mark at the junction of the sword body and hilt. This rune shows a light golden color and seems to contain endless power. Whenever Jiang Sheng's eyes touched this rune, he could feel a strong wave of energy, as if this weapon was resonating with him.

The entire weapon exudes a mysterious and majestic aura that makes people afraid to look directly at it. Jiang Sheng stood in front of it, filled with awe and curiosity. He knew that this weapon must be something extraordinary, and there must be some shocking secret hidden behind it.

He tried to draw the weapon, but found that it seemed to be bound by a mysterious force. He pulled it out hard, but only felt a counter-shock force, which almost made him fall to the ground. He was shocked, quickly stabilized his body, and continued to try.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not draw the weapon. He felt as if he was fighting against a powerful force that was so powerful and mysterious that he could not resist it.

Jiang Sheng's heart was full of doubts and confusion. He didn't know why this weapon appeared here, nor what secrets it concealed. But he knew that this weapon must be closely related to this secret room.
