Astral Apostle
chapter-367

The Spring Mountain River was a famous river in the south. It flowed through two provinces and was mainly located in the Jiangchun Province. It passed through many counties and prefectures, and there were countless fishermen who thrived off it. It was unknown how many people lived by the river.

The mist on its surface was vast, and the blue water rippled. The river was like an inverted mirror that reflected the blue sky for thousands of miles.

It was noon, on a deserted river bank.

The mud beach flooded into the river, and the water plants were abundant. Occasionally, there would be weeping willows decorating the shore, swaying slightly.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared on the shore, sweeping into the river, wet mud, and water plants. It quickly reformed and condensed into a human body.

It was a slightly plump man with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets. It was Apostle #003, Bill.

Zhou Jing suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Phew… Not bad. This time, it's a man made of water."

He was already used to it and quickly adapted to the apostle's body. Then, he stuck his head out to take a look at the river.

A familiar face that he had not seen for a long time appeared before his eyes again.

"I haven't seen this face in a long time. I actually kind of missed it…"

Zhou Jing touched his cheek and sighed emotionally.

This face did not look like someone from the Great Xia Dynasty. It was eye-catching.

However, there were countries in the west of the Great Xia Dynasty that did business with the Great Xia Dynasty all year round. The people of the world knew of the existence of the countries, but the further south they went, the rarer they were. Usually, it was only easy to see them at the northwest border.

In the information of the main world, the faces of those people from the various countries were somewhat similar to Bill's. Therefore, even if his looks were incompatible with the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, his origins were still explainable.

However… if he claimed to be a guest from a foreign country, he would most likely be discriminated against. The people of the Great Xia Dynasty usually treated the foreign countries as barbarians. If he used this identity to walk and pretend to be a monk, there would be many inconveniences. He would always be "a social level lower than others".

Bill's race is part of the Terra people of the Mutant World. However, when I was making him in the past, I deliberately made him more approachable and a little fat. His characteristics are not so obvious… If I don't use the Northwestern countries as my background and insist that I'm a citizen of the Great Xia Dynasty? Even if I'm noticed, perhaps it will only make people think that I look strange!"

Zhou Jing was not sure if this would work, he would only know the outcome after interacting with someone.

He put this matter aside for the time being and casually picked up a weed from the river to test the [Item Analysis Function].

Information about the item popped up on the interface. The support function was working well.

Zhou Jing nodded. Then, he focused and tried to activate the Elemental Sorcerer's Elemental Vision.

The results delighted him. His Elemental Vision could still be activated as usual. This world was also filled with colorful elemental particles, which were even richer than the Mutant World… According to the cultural background of the Great Xia Dynasty, it should be something like the five elements.

However, the elements of the two worlds were clearly different. They were like twins who were similar in appearance, but not the same person.

Although he could still drive the wind element, it was not as smooth and natural as how he controlled it in the Mutant World. There was a strong resistance when he drove the wind element in this world, allowing him to constantly be aware that his sorcery power did not originate from this world.

According to the feeling he felt when he used it, if it could be compared to an obedient baby, doing whatever it was told in the Mutant World, then the current feeling was as though he was attempting to control a naughty and rebellious brat. If he wanted it to do something, if he did not shout a few more times, it would pretend not to hear him.

Whoosh—

Zhou Jing circulated his magic power, and a vortex gathered in his palm before being controlled and dispersed. He started to think to himself,

"Because my Gale Spirit comes from another Astral Realm, it's more difficult to use the power of an Elemental Sorcerer. However, this world is an environment whose essence energy is reviving. The supernatural power is becoming more and more active. Not only is the concentration of elements higher than in the Mutant World, but it's also in a restless state.

If I unleash my power to a certain extent and exceed a certain critical point, it will cause a chain reaction and form a stronger wind force. However, this strength will not be within my control…"

Zhou Jing had a rough understanding of the conflict between the elemental sorcerer system and the current world.

To put it simply, even if one were to circulate their energy and operate the sorcerer system to the maximum, its control and power would still be weaker than normal, and the consumption was greater. It was only about 80% of what he could achieve in the Mutant World.

However, once it went past the critical point and exceeded their maximum strength, while his control decreased, its power would increase sharply, reaching an effect that exceeded his original powers.

Just like the dominoes, when it collapses to a certain extent, they would not be able to stop the momentum.

"…In short, although power conflicts, there are some pros and cons. It's indeed as the academy's course said. The adaptability of other supernatural systems other than martial arts to the various astral realms is much more erratic."

Zhou Jing felt a little relieved.

It was fine as long as he could use it. Moreover, his combat strength was still considerable.

He looked at the interface. Apostle #3's Spirit attribute had long hit the Level Surplus, and he was in a state where he could advance.

Zhou Jing did not hesitate and directly chose to advance.

[(+4) Grade Bonus has been consumed. Spirit has been increased to the Second Order.]

"Concentration."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and made a choice. This was quite suitable for his current situation.

Of course, the trait of increasing cultivation efficiency was also not bad. It was just that he already had the support of Accelerated Learning, so there was not much need for this trait.

After sorting out Bill's abilities, Zhou Jing closed the interface before turning his attention to his clothes.
