Fox Demon Jade Face
Chapter 12 The concept of mask
"Oh? You're finally here!"
The woman in red smiled quietly, she stood up lazily from the chair, no longer focusing on the mask in her hand, but turned her gaze to Zhang Zhiyu.
"As you thought, I, Quan Sha, am the head of the Quan family."
Quan Sha stated her identity with a smile, but her eyes had been locked on Zhang Zhiyu since the moment he stepped into the room.
"Zhang family, Zhang Zhiyu, meet the head of the Quan family!"
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyu was touched by Quan Sha's approachable appearance. He then bowed and performed a standard Taoist alliance salute to Quan Sha.
"Yeah, not bad boy."
Quan Sha was impressed by Zhang Zhiyu's polite demeanor and then handed the mask in her hand to Zhang Zhiyu.
"Since you're here, I won't beat around the bush with you."
Quan Sha turned around and sat back in her chair, speaking to Zhang Zhiyu in a very natural tone.
"As you can see, the mask in your hand is the one passed down by the former member of the Masked Group - Feng Lei Shuang Yi."
Seeing Zhang Zhiyu constantly observing the mask, Quan Sha was very happy to introduce it to him.
“As the young master of the Zhang family, I believe you are familiar with the Masked Group.”
"And this time I specifically asked you to come here for a plan, one that can greatly enhance our ability to use these mask inheritances."
Quan Sha spoke to herself with hope in her eyes, and then she also mentioned the key role of finding Zhang Zhiyu.
“Although our predecessors have created a cultivation path with great potential for us, we, as the younger generation, seem to have encountered problems in embarking on this path.”
"Although these masks contain countless precious spells and secret manuals, they also have a fatal flaw."
Quan Sha stopped here, as if she wanted to see Zhang Zhiyu's performance.
"Oh, shortcomings?"
It was also the first time that Zhang Zhiyu heard that the mask inheritance actually had a fatal flaw, so he was inevitably a little surprised at first.
"Yes, Quan Fu, you come and use the Wind and Thunder Wings Mask and demonstrate it to him."
Quan Sha instructed Quan Fu who was beside Zhang Zhiyu, and Quan Fu immediately took the mask from Zhang Zhiyu. Then he put on the mask and activated the secret method.
"Please come in——Wind and Thunder Wings!"
The masked Quan Fu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his aura changed accordingly. Even Zhang Zhiyu, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt an urgent and murderous aura.
However, within a short while, Quan Fu's breathing began to become disordered, and Quan Sha, who was observing from the side, sighed, as if to say, "As expected," and then asked Quan Fu to stop.
"You see, although these masks are powerful, they have strict requirements on the user's talent and physical condition. Once the requirements are not met, the aura will quickly become disordered, and in the end it may even cause great harm to the user himself."
Quan Sha explained carefully to Zhang Zhiyu.
"But, didn't he use Quan Fu for such a long time? Even if his aura started to become disordered at the end, it was enough to fight the enemy for such a long time, right?"
Zhang Zhiyu thought about it carefully and asked Quan Sha again.
"Well, it's true that Quan Fu persisted for so long, but as I said, it was only for so long. Once the moves in the mask are used, the duration will be greatly shortened."
"Also, I forgot to tell you that Quan Fu is one of the best in this generation in terms of his talent in using masks."
Quan Sha’s words shocked Zhang Zhiyu once again. In the anime he watched in his previous life, he only felt that the masks had strange abilities, but he never expected that they would have such high requirements for the users!
"If that's the case, then there are only a few people on this border who can use masks?"
Zhang Zhiyu thought about it again and again, and realized that if it was true as Quan Sha said, then there were only a few people in this so-called border who could use the mask, and even so, there were still so many people coming to inherit this tradition. Isn't it a joke?
"Not entirely. Although the mask has high requirements for the user, as long as the user is over 20 years old, the mask can be forcibly activated and can be used for a long time. Although the power has decreased, it can still be considered as being able to use the mask."
"Force it? There won't be any problem?"
When Zhang Zhiyu heard this, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Indeed, forcibly using a mask with such high usage requirements naturally has a price..."
When Quan Sha said this, her calm expression finally showed some changes.
"The price is life. For a user like this who lacks talent, his life span is no more than thirty years at most."
"What! Thirty years old!"
Zhang Zhiyu was deeply shocked this time.
"However, as long as one has enough talent, using the mask will not only not shorten one's lifespan, but can also bring out the maximum power of the mask. Of course, it is impossible for every generation to have so many talents."
"Like Quanfu and his generation, there are only three people including Quanfu who can use the mask normally after adulthood."
Quan Sha finally explained the problem with the mask clearly, then she walked in front of Zhang Zhiyu and looked at Quan Fu who had just recovered.
"And the idea I mentioned before was based on what you said in the Dao League before, which is to use the mask through non-human means!"
Quan Sha stared at Zhang Zhiyu, and the latter seemed to have some realization. Zhang Zhiyu took out a set of Qinggang wood hammers and a controller from the storage bag. Under Quan Sha's astonished gaze, Zhang Zhiyu began his operation.
"Non-human means, like... this?"
Zhang Zhiyu just made some simple manipulations, and the Qinggang Wood Chiselball Group formed a peculiar formation, and then a lightning attack was directed towards the ground in front of him.
Seeing the deep pit on the ground, Quan Sha looked at the thing in Zhang Zhiyu's hand with great excitement.
"This, this is the science you preached before? It can actually be done like this!"
Quan Sha then looked at Zhang Zhiyu,
"So, can you control the mask like this?"
Looking at Quan Sha's expectant eyes, Zhang Zhiyu thought for a long time and finally gave an answer.
“I’m not sure, but I can give it a try.”
To be honest, Zhang Zhiyu was able to develop so-called science entirely due to his basic knowledge from his previous life and coincidences. If he were asked to tinker with controlling something like a mask, it would be extremely difficult. However, Zhang Zhiyu still held on to a tiny hope in his heart.
Moreover, he knew that the border four hundred years later did not rely on anything to control the masks, but instead developed an alphabetical mask system!
Even if he couldn't figure it out in the end, he did have some ideas about the mother-and-child mask.
"Then I'll give you this mask first. I'll let Quan Fu cooperate with you."
