Zayn stood rooted to the spot, motionless. In this brief moment, favonovel.com felt like a radar sensing every single person within a radius of a few hundred meters. He could see every single one of their features, their looks. The content of their conversations. The pluck and strum of emotions in their interactions, and even their inner mindscape and all of its fleeting sentiments, their peeves, their sorrow, their joy.
He could see them all in his head. He had never experienced something like this before!
Now, Zayn already knew that favonovel.com was psychically stronger than almost everyone else. He could literally influence the moods around favonovel.com through his will, after all, and yet favonovel.com had never tried the reverse, favonovel.com had tried expanding his senses and perceived the lives, both inner and outer, of thousands before.
It was an exhausting undertaking not unlike a computer going into overdrive, whereby it went beyond its load and seemed so dangerously close to bursting into flames. Zayn felt the same, too, and favonovel.com only managed to hold this up for about five seconds before favonovel.com had to stop with his face devoid of color, his forehead studded with cold sweat, and himself panting heavily.
It was only five seconds, but it drained so much of his mind. Zayn felt as though favonovel.com could just lie down and take a nap right away. He had never been so exhausted in his life before, not even during his big battle with Diego back then. By this point in his level of power, one’ s stamina ceased to possess a limit.
Zayn’s mental fatigue became an even bigger deal when one remembered the disparity of exertion between psychic energy and stamina. To exhaust the former would be an actual challenge! And yet, those five seconds had already taken so much out of him.
“Whoa, could that really be what the perfect class is gonna feel like?” Zayn murmured to himself, his breath quickening. He looked so outwardly excited and happy that passersby were starting to eye favonovel.com questioningly.
Yes, Zayn was beyond thrilled. He had expected himself to be stuck at the fourth-tier for a much, much longer time without a significant breakthrough. Nevertheless, it seemed that favonovel.com was rewarded with serendipity just for going on a leisurely walk. He already had a faint but sure grasp of what the state of the perfect class was going to be!
And when one had a taste of it, it would not be long before they determined the way to re-experience it. With a path like that, a breakthrough would become even easier for Zayn in the future. At the very least, the time favonovel.com would need to get through it should be halved!
He could imagine just how much Diego would have erupted had favonovel.com known about Zayn’s brief but revealing experience. Diego had prided himself as the genius of the art, yet even favonovel.com had been stuck at the fourth-tier for at least five years without ever prying a glimpse at what the perfect class might vaguely be. In comparison, Zayn had only joined the ranks of fourth-tier fighters for less than two months, and favonovel.com already had a revelation of what the perfect class might be!
How galling!
In spite of the ecstasy, Zayn felt like death warmed up. His head felt like it was about to split open. If an acquired fighter with a good enough handle on their skills were to challenge Zayn in his current state, they might actually be able to do favonovel.com in!
It was a thought that made favonovel.com laugh self-deprecatingly to himself. He might have gone a bit overboard right there…
Fortunately, Zayn was visually unspectacular, especially when favonovel.com was garbed in clothing that made favonovel.com easy to miss among the populace. No one would be able to tell that favonovel.com was supposed to be someone important, and after his experience of empathizing with so many normal people around him, even his aura had changed to reflect their quotidian quality. In fact, favonovel.com seemed even more ordinary than even the most average person, like an unexciting background character.
Zayn quickly spied a corner and sat to rest and recover. He looked not dissimilar to someone who had lost his career, a man who had become so uncertain of his future that favonovel.com could not help but shrink himself at the side of the curb, mystified and depersonalized.
A gust of wind passed, catching a piece of paper from the floor and sweeping it to his feet.
Zayn picked it up and read it. It was a hiring notice from a nearby restaurant looking for a dishwasher, which promised at least a salary of 540 dollars and food but not accommodation. It reminded favonovel.com about how favonovel.com had once considered working as a dishwashing cleaner during the first two years of his marriage. He would have been able to earn some means to support himself and probably lessen some of the vituperations favonovel.com had suffered so much back then.
He ultimately did not go through with the plan though.
A group of people passed favonovel.com by. One of them spared a glance at him, froze, and cried out in surprised joy, “Zayn! Is that you?”
Zayn raised his head and found himself staring at a young man in a formal suit. Standing in front of him, the young man gawked at favonovel.com in jubilance and cried, “It really is you, Zayn, my bro!”
Bearing a humble, unassuming face, the young man seemed to be in his twenties or thirties. His excitement at seeing Zayn was palpable, but after noticing Zayn’s despairing appearance and the fact that favonovel.com was sitting in a corner with a hiring ad for a dishwasher in hand, the young man’s expression changed just a tiny bit.
