My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 55 - 53: Night Parade of Hundred Demons

’Is that Brother Lu?’

Li Xiaoning woke up in a daze, smelling the aroma lingering in the air, hearing noise from the kitchen, she struggled to turn her head and cast her gaze.

Sure enough, she saw a familiar tall figure, the man’s side profile was handsome, his expression calm and focused. He was wearing an apron, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing two muscular forearms, skillfully maneuvering the spatula in his hand.

Truly a reliable young man!!

For some reason, she stared for two seconds, a subtle, strange stirring emerged deep within her heart, and then she snapped back to reality.

’When did he come? He’s probably been here for a while.’

She thought to herself silently, eyes showing guilt.

Not related by blood, yet Brother Lu had to take care of her and her father, she felt really sorry.

This kindness must be remembered, to repay him later. She reminded herself.

"You’re awake? Wait a moment, it’s almost ready."

Lu Xun said without turning his head.

His perception was very strong, he detected Li Xiaoning waking up immediately.

"Okay." She nodded obediently.

Ten minutes later.

Time to eat!!

Lu Xun had cooked a pot of easy-to-digest millet porridge, and the dishes were mostly meat and eggs, lightly flavored, suitable for someone recovering from injury.

He could only make some home-cooked dishes, couldn’t make those holistic tonic soups... didn’t have the skills of an aunt.

Actually, just casually going to the library for some analysis, one could master a chef’s skills.

But with a culinary god at home, why would he need to learn cooking skills?!

If you had a full-time driver on standby at home 24/7, you wouldn’t even get the chance to touch the steering wheel!

"Open your mouth."

"Ah~"

"How is it?" Lu Xun asked, holding up the spoon, looking at her, "Is it alright?"

"Mmm~" Li Xiaoning swallowed the food, her face fell silent; two seconds later, she nodded, whispering, "It’s...it’s delicious."

However, her acting was too clumsy and it could be seen from her facial micro-expressions that she was not being truthful.

It obviously didn’t taste that good, just very average!

"You’ve got to eat it even if it doesn’t taste good!" Lu Xun rolled his eyes, scooped up another spoonful, "Open your mouth!"

"Ah~"

...

There’s still more than forty minutes before the afternoon class starts.

After leaving Li Xiaoning’s home, Lu Xun didn’t go back to school directly, but went to the library instead.

When he first discovered he had a cheat ability, he also set a grand goal to "analyze all knowledge carriers in the world, achieve the great unification of cosmic information, and become all-knowing and all-powerful, standing alongside the god of wisdom with a mortal body."

He only needed to "study" for ten minutes, which was equivalent to several months of hard research by other scholars.

Initially, he was very motivated, spending at least 8 hours a day analyzing various books, frantically absorbing knowledge.

But studying was really too dull, boring, and tiresome.

Moreover, the truly high-level, top-notch knowledge of the Human Federation was not something you could learn just because you wanted to, like espionage combat techniques, prosthetics and weapons manufacturing, mecha development, pharmaceutical production...ordinary people wouldn’t encounter such high-end knowledge in their daily lives.

Many types of knowledge, like military-grade prosthetics, are strictly regulated!

You’re allowed to learn it by others, then you have the qualification to learn it.

Analyzing books gave very few Trait Points!

He only managed to persist for half a year before he got lazy.

From maintaining 8 hours of "reading" every day, to 5 hours...1 hour...30 minutes...

In the end, he would only go to the library and pick out specific books to analyze when encountering problems in his life and work where new knowledge was required to solve them.

In fact, he was not a good student who loved studying, lacking a proactive learning attitude unless he encountered obstacles.

But a lot happened these past few days, changing his attitude towards "studying."

As proven, there’s no useless knowledge in the world.

You think it’s useless simply because the timing isn’t right yet.

Having more skills can never be a burden, there will always be a time when they’re needed!!

Performing, counter-surveillance, didn’t he just use them in the past two days?

He didn’t put the "All-Knowing Right Hand" to good use, failed the cheat ability, Trait Points were important, but knowledge was also a treasure.

However, being able to realize his laziness in time, facing himself, correcting his mistakes...was indeed commendable.

Walking into the library, he went up to the second floor.

He went to a bookshelf and picked up a "Human Federation Cooking Magazine."

"Analyze!"

[Trait Points +0.003!]

Putting down the book, he picked up "3,600 Home-cooked Recipes."

"Analyze!"

[Trait Points +0.002!]

...

He analyzed over a hundred books related to cooking in succession, instantly increasing his useful knowledge.

Lu Xun felt it was about enough, he didn’t need to reach the level of a "National Master" chef, having an ordinary chef’s skill level was sufficient.

So, he left that bookshelf, moving to the next area.

"Zero Basic Undead Language Introduction"

"Analyze!"

"Modern Undead Language Grammar"

"Analyze!"

"Complete Dictionary of the Undead Language"

"Analyze!"

...

Very soon, Lu Xun mastered all the writing and language of the Undead Race.

"I rarely came to the library before, looks like I need to find time to come regularly in the future."

He couldn’t help but mumble.

Although learning knowledge was quite boring...it indeed had its uses!

Previously, my mind was all about making money, making money, making money.

Now, there’s no need to focus on making money, can’t be lazy and wasteful towards knowledge anymore like before.

Lu Xun decided to set aside one day each week in the future to specifically visit the library for learning, in preparation for any unexpected needs.

"I should also learn some combat knowledge, though the powerful combat techniques are ’Killing Techniques,’ only accessible in fields like military, police, espionage, and can’t just leak among the common people, some specialized basic combat skills can still be learned."

He thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards another section of the library.

Just learn the fighting techniques casually.

In the face of absolute power, skills don’t really matter much. With all those fancy moves, someone can still knock you out with a single punch; that’s called brute force.

If it’s really not enough, then find a way to learn more formidable military combat techniques. Li Xiaoning’s master is known as "Jinghai’s Strongest Human" and "Grandmaster of Ancient Arts", surely they know them.

Of course, the innate advantages of the human race are weak, without relying on "technology and hard work", even the strongest human is just a little Karami, Lu Xun can knock out one with each punch!

He doesn’t really want to become a disciple, nor is he interested in ancient skills. When the time comes, he’ll think of a way to rent their "Killing Art Manual" at a high price for analysis.

...

Jinghai First Middle School, Senior Three (Class 4).

There are still a few minutes left before the first class in the afternoon begins.

Wuer had already written out that high-level magic from the morning, it was bent over the desk, burying its head in writing, ready to start on the second one.

"Da Gu, hold on a sec, let me see what you wrote this morning?"

"No way, it’s a secret, I’ll give you the Magic Notebook after graduation!"

"Secret my foot, hand it over!"

Lu Xun ignored its objection and swiped the notebook right over.

’Analysis!!’

Buzz~

A stream of information was transmitted into his mind within seconds.

Not only did he know the how, but also the why.

Wuer not only wrote down the casting steps, but thoughtfully annotated its own insights and feelings about the magic beside them.

Thus, Lu Xun immediately mastered this advanced undead magic.

It has a very classy name, called "Night Parade of Hundred Demons"!

This magic is quite complex; Wuer wrote over twenty pages just to record it on paper.

Undead magic basically revolves around summoning, and 99% of a Necromancer’s combat power lies in summoned creatures.

This magic is no exception.

Night Parade of Hundred Demons, its effect can be summed up in one sentence:

Summon evil spirits to aid in battle!

You can summon up to 100 different kinds of evil spirits at once, including great evil spirits and little evil spirits.

Evil spirits differ from skeleton warriors; the former is in soul spirit form, lacking physical presence, invisible and untouchable to most people.

But evil spirits can manifest soul power to attack enemies.

Unless special means are employed, opponents can only take hits and not fight back.

In short, it’s quite sneaky!

After a few afternoon classes, as soon as school ended, Lu Xun eagerly left the school.

First, go to Li Xiaoning’s house, change her medication, cook meal, feed her.

She was shocked; a few hours ago at lunch, Brother Lu’s cooking was really hard to describe, but why did dinner suddenly become so delicious?!

Truly a man she couldn’t comprehend; he was too mysterious!

Lu Xun couldn’t be bothered to explain. After feeding, he quickly washed the dishes and then excitedly caught a taxi to the familiar cemetery park!

The sun was still far from setting.

Sunlight shone upon the ground, with the clouds glowing in the sky; the sunset was beautiful.

He planned to try out the new magic he learned!

"Night Parade of Hundred Demons" is advanced undead magic, certainly stronger than "Gousheng", that’s beyond doubt!

But just how strong, we’ll have to test it to find out.

...

The cemetery, silent as death, with cold wind biting, even the sun couldn’t dispel the chilling atmosphere of the park.

Whoosh~

Lu Xun took a deep breath.

"Let’s go!"

Sssss——

With a mere thought, an enormous amount of white smoke rose from his body, accompanied by a "whoosh" as green Hellfire suddenly burst from within, burning fiercely, instantly incinerating every inch of his skin and flesh.

He transformed into a skeleton clad in clothing, spewing green fire.

In normal form and Ghost God form, he only had a lv2 "Strong Soul" trait.

The Bone King Body is lv4, more suitable for using undead magic.

Lu Xun’s skeleton head turned, fixating on a piece of empty ground ahead, as he slowly raised his right claw, palm bones facing the ground.

Buzz~

The River of Souls stirred, soul power was drawn, surging in turbulent torrents.

"Night Parade of Hundred Demons!!"

Ssss——

Alongside the silent chanting of obscure and ancient spells in his heart, the surging soul power sketched a magic array on the ground.

Roar!

Woo!

Keen ghostly howls echoed, the magic array seemed to have opened the gates of hell, releasing various shapes of evil spirits!!

They were all in soul spirit form, appeared green and translucid, some humanoid, others beast-shaped, with horrific ferocity!

"Wowowowow——"

Yet, a swarm of fierce ghostly evil spirits appeared, hadn’t been arrogant for a second, then began emitting a series of tragic howls.

They were bathed in sunlight, smoking all over, writhing on the ground in pain.

"Woo——"

Suddenly, a bat-winged, demon-horned evil spirit discovered something, raised a hand to point at a large nearby tree, opened its throat and shouted.

"Woooah——"

Instantly, hundreds of evil spirits swarmed towards the tree, scrambling forward, seeking refuge from the sun’s scorching rays.

They huddled together like sardines, clumping under the shade, shivering.

Lu Xun: "..."

"Sorry, I thought you guys didn’t mind a sunbathing session..." He scratched his smooth, shiny skull cap, awkwardly explaining.

Upon hearing, hundreds of haunting glances focused on their clueless master.

They were angry but dared not speak.

Desperately wishing to yank their clueless master’s ear and shout:

Night Parade of Hundred Demons, Night Parade of Hundred Demons, "Night"!!

Who in their right mind summons evil spirits under broad daylight?
