Chapter 92
🕑 Added 2024-03-06 05:00:03 +0000 UTC"Soul Calming Bell!"
Lin Yuan picked up the small black bell, examining it repeatedly.
Among the fifty prizes of this tournament, the most valuable was the Soul Calming Bell.
A rare soul-defense weapon, exceptionally rare at that. The quality of the Soul Calming Bell reached the fourth rank, making it almost invincible against fourth-rank illusion-type soul evolvers.
Lin Yuan touched the black bell, his thoughts subtly moving as his soul power merged into it, beginning the process of refining.
In less than a moment, the Soul Calming Bell disappeared, appearing in his mind's eye.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Among many paths of evolution, the evolution path of soul illusions was the most unpredictable and mysterious, making it difficult to defend against their attacks.
Especially soul attacks, which ignored physical defenses and targeted souls specifically.
Without soul-defense weapons or secret techniques to guard the soul, one could only endure soul attacks.
Endure and live.
Fail to endure, and die.
With this Soul Calming Bell, Lin Yuan's sense of security increased significantly.
Although there were means in the martial arts evolution path to defend against soul attacks.
But having an additional Soul Calming Bell for protection was naturally a good thing.
Furthermore.
Lin Yuan chose the Soul Calming Bell to complement the 'Life Fruit.'
If one day Lin Yuan's physical body was shattered, leaving only the soul protected by the Soul Calming Bell.
At this time, taking the Life Fruit would rapidly restore Lin Yuan's physical body with its immense vitality, effectively granting him another life.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan cast his gaze toward another item.
It was a wooden box containing the Life Fruit.
Lin Yuan picked up the wooden box and gently opened it.
In an instant, a terrifying vitality spread outwards.
The rich fragrance intoxicated everything, all changes stemming from the contents of the wooden box - a fist-sized, emerald-green fruit.
"I really want to swallow it in one gulp."
Lin Yuan swallowed his saliva. His instinct told him that consuming this Life Fruit would be greatly beneficial to him.
But in reality, it was just instinct.
According to the description of the Life Fruit, for a period of time after consumption, every cell in the body would be surrounded by countless life energies.
During this period, no matter what injuries were sustained, they would rapidly heal at a terrifying speed.
But this effect was only temporary; once the effect of the Life Fruit disappeared, everything would return to its original state.
Snap!
Lin Yuan directly closed the wooden box.
Leaving the Life Fruit exposed to the air would cause the internal life force to dissipate at a certain rate.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan glanced around.
During the time the wooden box was open, a rich fragrance lingered in the air, which was also a manifestation of the life force.
"I'll absorb it."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath. With his physique, all the air around him, including the fragrance from the Life Fruit, was sucked into his chest.
Then all the fragrance was absorbed, a faint vitality lingered, giving Lin Yuan a feeling of ethereal pleasure.
After savoring it for a while, Lin Yuan put away the wooden box.
"Soul Nurturing Jade."
Lin Yuan picked up the third item.
It was a jade pendant, almost transparent. When in contact with the skin, there would be a slight energy infusion, slowly nourishing the soul.
Although the speed was slow, it was continuous. As long as Lin Yuan stayed with it for a day, this effect would not disappear. Even if Lin Yuan advanced to the fifth rank in the future, the effect would only weaken.
"A precious treasure."
Lin Yuan carried the Soul Nurturing Jade with him.
"Jiuli Liquid."
Lin Yuan looked at the last item.
The Jiuli originated from a barbaric planet. When the Cosmic Human Alliance conquered the planet, they discovered that the local creatures, through some kind of sacrificial means, produced 'Jiuli Holy Water,' which had a decent effect on enhancing the physical body.
Later, after improvement by some scholars of human civilization, the 'Jiuli Liquid' was born.
Compared to the 'Jiuli Holy Water,' the effect of the Jiuli Liquid was much stronger, and it had few side effects.
Lin Yuan picked up the Jiuli Liquid.
It was a test tube containing a faint silver liquid, looking extremely beautiful and dazzling.
"A Jiuli Liquid worth five billion, and there's even a purchase limit? Only citizens of third rank or above can buy it?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed.
Before this, the most valuable thing he bought was the 'Zhu Fruit,' priced at 700 millions each.
And one portion of Jiuli Liquid could buy seven portions of Zhu Fruit.
"The correct way to use Jiuli Liquid is not to swallow it directly or refine it."
"It's to dilute it and use it to soak the whole body."
Lin Yuan came to the bath, filling the water level to two-thirds, then undressed and soaked in.
"It is said that using Jiuli Liquid is very painful. In that barbaric planet, not everyone could withstand the baptism of the 'Jiuli Holy Water.'"
Lin Yuan opened the test tube and slowly poured the silver liquid into the bath.
Almost the next moment.
Lin Yuan felt his skin starting to heat up.
"Is it taking effect?"
Lin Yuan immediately poured the rest of the Jiuli Liquid.
Then he closed his eyes, slowly experiencing the changes in his body.
First, it was the scorching heat.
From the skin, to the flesh, to the organs, to the bones.
Layer by layer, the temperature continued to rise.
Lin Yuan's expression remained calm; this slight pain was nothing to him.
To others, Lin Yuan appeared to be a genius evolver around twenty years old.
But in reality, Lin Yuan had lived for more than two hundred years, spanning three lifetimes.
Although still far from the average age of fourth-rank evolvers, adapting to the pain of the Jiuli Liquid was naturally a breeze for Lin Yuan.
Hiss...
As the Jiuli Liquid continued to be absorbed.
Lin Yuan's physique was continuously improving.
Tiny black stains began to appear on the surface of his skin.
Originally, Lin Yuan had already undergone a transformation all over his body through the cultivation method from the 'Loulan He' flesh.
However, now, the effect of the Jiuli Liquid was penetrating deeper, once again baptizing Lin Yuan's body.
Half a day later.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"My physical body."
Lin Yuan felt the astonishing power within his body, "Compared to before using the Jiuli Liquid, it's at least thirty to fifty percent stronger."
The physical body is the foundation of everything, with a strong physical body, a strong soul can be nurtured.
"Unfortunately, the Jiuli Liquid is only effective the first time it's used."
Feeling for a moment, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, showing a hint of regret.
In fact, not only the Jiuli Liquid, the vast majority of treasures that can greatly strengthen the physical body or soul have many restrictions, only being effective the first time used.
Virtual world.
Arena area.
This area is specifically used for evolvers to spar.
"I can't do it anymore."
Fang Qing's voice trembled, and his whole body flew out, spitting out blood.
If it weren't for the virtual world, if this scene happened in reality, Fang Qing would be at least seriously injured and would need several months of rest to recover.
"Big Brother Lin, your strength is too strong. Even if I'm suppressed to the third rank level, I still can't beat you."
Fang Qing's injuries quickly healed, looking at Lin Yuan with bitterness.
"It's okay, come a few more times."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly.
The reason for sparring with Fang Qing was entirely because the latter took the initiative to come. Shortly after moving to the Central Mainland Manor, Fang Qing, who also moved, took the initiative to come over.
Fang Qing's manor was dozens of miles away from Lin Yuan's manor, considered neighbors.
The two of them got acquainted and often sparred in the virtual world.
Of course, Lin Yuan was naturally willing. Fang Qing's cultivation path of the 'Ancient God' was a path of evolution surpassing the sixth rank.
During the previous points match, although Lin Yuan had a brief insight, due to the time limit of the match, he could only end it hastily.
Now that Fang Qing took the initiative to come over, Lin Yuan had no reason to refuse.
Every time he sparred with Fang Qing, Lin Yuan gained something from his opponent.
Of course, Fang Qing was completely unaware of this. Not only Fang Qing, but even his intelligent life form, the white-bearded old man, also wouldn't think that Lin Yuan's insight was so terrifying that just a few spars could allow him to learn almost everything about his opponent.
They thought Lin Yuan was a very enthusiastic evolver, actively being Fang Qing's sparring partner.
"Good."
Fang Qing seemed to think of something and immediately surged with motivation, charging towards Lin Yuan again.
As he charged, a 'Ancient God' shadow faintly emerged behind Fang Qing, making the same movements as Fang Qing's back.
"Ancient God."
Lin Yuan looked at the shadow behind Fang Qing, his expression slightly solemn.
Through so many spars, Lin Yuan had already realized that the so-called 'Ancient God' was also a powerful life form.
This kind of life form was so powerful that it integrated its own life imprint into the world's rules.
As a result, as long as any creature practiced according to the cultivation method it left behind, they could summon the power within the heavens and earth.
Of course, to summon the 'Ancient God' shadow, one must have a certain degree of similarity to the corresponding Ancient God.
This threshold seems not high, but it is very difficult to achieve. The Ancient Gods are such existences that even billions and billions of creatures may not produce one who can be similar to an Ancient God to a certain degree.
Boom.
The 'Ancient God' shadow behind Fang Qing raised its right fist and was about to smash down.
But it was suppressed by Lin Yuan's hand, then lightly pinched and turned into powder.
"Ah?"
Fang Qing spewed out blood again and flew out.
"I won't fight anymore."
Fang Qing was almost crying.
The white-bearded old man had told him that only by constantly sparring with opponents could he eventually defeat them.
With this idea in mind, Fang Qing took the initiative to find Lin Yuan to try.
But now, he saw it, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't beat him at all.
Even though Lin Yuan saw Fang Qing pitiful, he actively said that he suppressed his strength and sparred with Fang Qing at the third rank level.
Still couldn't win.
The two were simply not on the same level.
"Go back and rest for a while."
"Come again tomorrow."
Lin Yuan had some insight in his heart.
Through constant contact with the 'Ancient God' shadow.
Lin Yuan has vaguely understood where the essence of the evolution path beyond the sixth rank lies and how it differs from other evolution paths.
This aspect is very important.
Although Lin Yuan currently only has the fourth rank, as the founder of a new evolution path, he needs a broader vision to judge the next direction.
Other evolvers only need to cultivate according to complete evolutionary paths, without such efforts.
But Lin Yuan is different, he needs to determine the direction to follow.
"Rules."
"Still rules."
"I'm not mistaken about my direction."
"As for why the ultimate potential of the evolutionary path is still hopeless at the seventh rank, it's because my understanding of the rules is too shallow."
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.
The rules of the main world are vast, and what Lin Yuan comprehended in the Divine World is nothing compared to the main world.
On the other side.
Fang Qing also returned to his personal space with a heavy heart.
"Teacher, do you think I have any chance of surpassing Big Brother Lin, even if we consider the distant future?"
Fang Qing couldn't help but speak.
Swish.
A white-bearded old man appeared and sat on Fang Qing's shoulder.
The white-bearded old man was only the size of a palm, but his face was full of incredulity.
"Genius, I never thought I would misjudge someone one day."
The white-bearded old man muttered to himself, somewhat incredulous.
"Ah?"
Fang Qing's face turned slightly red.
"Fool, I'm not talking about you."
The white-bearded old man glanced at Fang Qing, "That Lin Yuan, has actually touched the essence of the rules."
"Without guidance beyond the sixth rank evolutionary path, he can touch the essence of the rules, this kind of genius, even in a star field, there wouldn't be many."
The white-bearded old man exclaimed in surprise.
During the points match, Lin Yuan used the Taiji domain to crush Fang Qing.
So the white-bearded old man didn't notice, he just felt that Lin Yuan was using the power of the fourth rank to bully the weak.
But through the dozens of spars just now, especially when Lin Yuan suppressed his power to the third rank, the white-bearded old man immediately saw that Lin Yuan had begun to touch the essence of the rules.
With such insight, the possibility of stepping into the sixth rank in the future is at least fifty percent, even greater than Fang Qing who possesses the Ancient God evolution method.
"Ah?"
Fang Qing looked puzzled.
"Don't think about defeating Lin Yuan, it's not realistic, unless there is some great opportunity in the future..."
"Under normal development, you don't have that hope."
The white-bearded old man fell into thought, he glanced at Fang Qing and thought of Lin Yuan just now, feeling somewhat frustrated.
"Okay."
Fang Qing shrank his head, somewhat afraid to look directly at the white-bearded old man.
He had a feeling that if it weren't for the inability to change the successor, the white-bearded old man would probably be thinking about how to replace him right now and choose Lin Yuan instead.
In the depths of the starry sky.
A huge creature was roaming around, it was red all over, and its size was tens of times that of the Canglan Star.
"Where am I now? I'll just take a nap."
Just then, the huge creature opened its eyes, and its eyes alone were comparable to half a planet.
Swish.
The huge creature's body changed, suddenly shrinking.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into the appearance of an old man over two meters tall.
He was dressed in red robes, standing tall in the starry sky, exuding energy waves almost like a star.
"Lord Red Kun, it's time for you to go back."
Just then, a solemn and cold voice sounded.
"Wisdom Goddess."
The old man in the red robe, Red Kun Lord, stretched lazily.
"Right."
"The arena matches should be almost over."
Red Kun Lord's heart moved, connecting to the virtual world.
"Last time I chose the Noland Galaxy, this time I'll choose the Dawn Galaxy. Let me see which geniuses have emerged in this round of arena matches."
Muttering to himself, Red Kun Lord watched.
Every moment, nearly a hundred million matches flashed by.
Suddenly.
The match screen stopped.
Red Kun Lord raised his eyebrows.
"Huh!"
