Chapter 10 Future

   Animals that follow primitive laws in nature have a special perception ability compared to humans.

  In addition to the instinct of hunting and survival, this ability has the magical effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. Earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires and other natural disasters can see all kinds of animals frantically escaping. Perhaps human beings also had such abilities during the period of ignorance and animalization, but they were gradually forgotten. Sometimes evolution is not completely benign.

  In his previous life, James continuously improved himself and enhanced his awareness through boxing practice, and already possessed the perception ability beyond ordinary human beings. In addition to being more sensitive to the surrounding environment, he has a sense of hostility, murderous aura and other crises.

   It is said that in addition to the physical "not bad" at the highest level of martial arts, there is also a magical ability called "seeing but not hearing, aware of danger and avoiding" in spiritual practice. The ability of this kind of spiritual realm is not only possible for people who practice martial arts, but since ancient times, it has been more likely to be hermits practicing Taoism and Zen, great writers who are open-minded, and even extremely devout religious believers.

  If human beings choose another tributary different from the development of science and technology in the river course of history, it is still unknown what kind of world it will be.

Sitting cross-legged in the ruined unrecognizable forest clearing with his eyes closed, James seems to have an additional perception similar to the sixth sense but stronger and more controllable. Vision and beast-like night vision, as well as excellent hearing and the wolf's super visual sense of smell, are more like the state called "mind" when the spiritual cultivation reaches its peak.

He was fascinated by a few unknown birds that quietly landed on the treetops, the breeze swayed with the leaves, the hare jumped up and down to avoid the sting of a poisonous snake, and the owl twirled on the branch. Looking for prey with its head turned, a cougar yawned and strode forward, scaring away a deer without interest...

Slowly, James could even clearly "see" them in his consciousness. After a long time, he carefully controlled and restrained this ability he called "beast perception", so that he could restore the weak state of ordinary human beings as much as possible. sexual perception. This talent is like enhancing the radar or signal. If it can only be turned on but not turned off, normal life will be greatly affected.

   Only when you use it freely can you truly become your own strength. He has never longed for the supreme divine power that fell from the sky. If he did not grasp the power bit by bit by himself, not only would he not be able to exert it to the extreme, but he would also have extremely fatal side effects and weaknesses.

   "The self-healing and rapid division of cells at the genetic level has surpassed any real or legendary physical body that humans can achieve through practice..."

  James couldn't help sighing. He clearly knew that even if the legend was true, boxing practiced to the so-called "break the void, see the gods are not broken" can be reborn, repair all kinds of damage inside the body, thereby greatly prolonging life and maintaining physical fitness. But it is far from this kind of rapid regeneration, and the ability to mutate without knowing the end of life.

"If I continue to practice boxing with such a body, what will be the effect? ​​Now that I have practiced dark strength, will I go further on this basis when I reach the level of enlightenment and Baodan?" James thought to himself, considering such a possibility sex.

  Fundamentally speaking, boxing, regardless of whether it is inside or outside, is to gradually tap the potential of the human body, improve the functional quality of all aspects of the body, and constantly approach the theoretical extreme of the human body, so as to achieve a certain "superhuman" ability.

   What about a body with unlimited potential? How much power can a heterogeneous species that can heal itself quickly and have a long lifespan be discovered? James' eyes shone with an almost substantive brilliance, like a wolf with a faint green light at night...

James returned to his room in the manor before sunrise. He didn't want his grandfather to worry about him anymore. In the past ten years, he really accepted this serious and cruel old man from the bottom of his heart, Mr. Howlett. To a certain extent, it is very similar to his former master, who sheltered him from the wind and rain, and also protected him from the wind and rain.

The housekeeper Wayne was originally Mr. Howlett's oldest brother, but Wayne was only a little older than John Howlett. When Wayne was a teenager, he and his parents were kidnapped by robbers. Mr. Howlett rescued them Since then, Wayne has followed Mr. Howlett, and the relationship between them cannot be described simply as friendship.

After John's death, Mr. Howlett's energy was not enough to handle the affairs of the entire manor property by himself, so he was asked to come back to help, and Mr. Wayne simply became a housekeeper. In addition to taking care of Mr. Howlett and managing the manor, he also Solve the business of various local industries more often.

   "Good morning, Mr. Wayne." James came down from upstairs and greeted the butler Wayne who was busy arranging servants in the lobby.

   "Morning, Master James!" The butler bowed, and as a gift, he had to say that Mr. Wayne did a great job in transforming from a soldier who could only shoot and ride horses into a manor butler who was quite a gentleman.

  He even has a single transparent eye, a pocket watch in the chest pocket, and the watch chain hangs naturally at the bottom, and the brown linen suit highlights his still strong figure. Although both Mr. Howlett and James have repeatedly emphasized not to use honorific terms like master and master, Mr. Wayne still insists that he seems to like this state and role very much.

   "I've been busy so early in the morning, is my grandfather going out?" James asked.

"Yes, sir, Mr. Howlett is going to visit His Excellency the Governor today, so he asked me to make preparations and presents last night." The housekeeper, Wayne, explained, and then the sound of groans being struck on the board by the crutches sounded in succession. Mr. Lite slowly walked down the escalator.

  James stepped forward quickly, helping his grandfather to go downstairs slowly. Mr. Howlett waved his hand and said to his grandson, "It's okay, it won't happen. I may come back later, don't wait for me to have dinner, and don't run too far recently, you can deal with the affairs of the manor more. Now that I’m older, I need to help with more things.” Mr. Howlett instructed, he always pretended to be serious in front of his grandson, but was betrayed by his earnest expression.

"Don't worry, I understand. By the way, grandfather, I heard that the governor has been troublesome for us recently. Are you looking for him..." Before James could finish speaking, Mr. Howlett interrupted: "It's because I had to go because he was looking for trouble, the new official is asking for something when he takes office, get rid of these messes as soon as possible, and you will be smoother in the future."

  James hesitated to speak, but just nodded to his grandfather. Persistingly supported the old man's arm and sent him to the carriage. Mr. Howlett waved his hand, paused the crutch in his hand, and motioned to the driver.

"ha!"

  The coachman yelled, and flicked his whip, and the four parallel horses let go of their hooves and drove away. Followed by a wagon full of gifts and eight riders on either side of the entourage. James kept watching Mr. Howlett go away, stood and thought for a while, and walked towards Victor's cabin.

  Governor Kevin Smith knew that Mr. Howlett was coming. Surprisingly, he seemed to be very happy to learn that an old friend he hadn't seen for many years was visiting. At noon, I ordered my servants to set up the place, ready to welcome Mr. Howlett. In view of the transportation and road conditions in this era, Mr. Howlett can only arrive at the Governor's Mansion in the morning and in the evening.

  The sun had already set slowly, and the last ray of setting sun reflected on the tall iron gate of the Governor's Mansion. The shadows of horseshoes and wheels stayed on the ground for a moment, and then disappeared. The servants of the Governor's Mansion opened the door swiftly after seeing the carriage, and greeted Mr. Howlett, who was staggering from the carriage.

   "Welcome! Mr. Howlett, the Governor is already waiting for you outside the manor."

  Mr. Howlett was slightly puzzled, and then said: "Your Excellency is too polite, let's go."

  Governor Smith is a middle-aged man with a small stature. He looks good in spirit, and his hair is much thicker than the bald British. He looks ordinary, but he looks like a very shrewd person. As a feudal official, he is more like a businessman.

   "Mr. Howlett! I've been waiting for you for a long time! You should have sent someone to notify me earlier, the preparations are really hasty." Smith said enthusiastically as he walked forward quickly and shook Mr. Howlett's hand. Before the old Howlett took over, he continued: "I should also be sorry for the beef cattle incident a few days ago. It was really not my intention. You have to listen to me explain it carefully today."

  Mr. Howlett became more and more uneasy. He felt that things might be far more troublesome than he imagined.
