Two minutes was short and long.
To Lin Bei, these two minutes were short.
However, for Jian Yi, these two minutes were long. During this period, he had been dragged underground by Lin Bei ten times and died ten times!
“Um… Ahem, I’m sorry.”
After recovering, Lin Bei smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
“Bullsh*t! You did it on purpose!”
Jian Yi said angrily, “Do you know how I spent these two minutes?! Get lost! You’re not welcome here!”
“Please, I really didn’t do it on purpose! I just wanted to test it.”
Lin Bei said helplessly.
To be honest, he was still a little afraid.
He thought that after the Wine Dao Value became negative, he would at most be dizzy. After all, it was only negative 2 points. However, who would have thought that after the Wine Dao Value became negative, he would directly lose consciousness!
That’s right, he was completely unconscious!
Although the memories of the previous battle had been reconstructed in his mind after he recovered, he was indeed unconscious for two minutes!
“Fortunately, Jian Yi put away the wine at the beginning. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if I continued drinking uncontrollably in that state!”
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Initially, he thought that if the effect of the negative Wine Dao Value was not too much, he could control the Wine Dao Value to add more Buffs on his body. Now, it seemed that this would not work at all.
If he wanted to gain more Buffs, there was only one way—to increase the upper limit of his Wine Dao!
Alternatively, drink high-quality wine to recover Wine Dao Value.
This way, he could recover more and consume less. He could farm more Buffs.
Of course, it was only limited to some trash Buffs that consumed low Wine Dao Value. As for higher Wine Dao Buffs, only when the upper limit of the Wine Dao Value increased would there be a way.
“I told you, it’s dangerous!”
“Sorry, I was careless.”
“Hmph, be careful next time.”
When Jian Yi heard this, he shook his head and said, “Leave. If there’s no good wine in the future, don’t disturb me!”
With that, he raised his hand and waved it. The ruins closed, and Lin Bei was pushed out by a huge force.
“…”
Lin Bei shrugged and left.
He had already completed his mission and it was time to go back to report.
Using the Return Scroll, Lin Bei returned to Green Mountain City and found Alina.
“Not bad. Looks like you’ve already obtained the inheritance of the Star Swordsman.”
Alina sized up Lin Bei and nodded with a smile. “Next, I’ll teach you the three exclusive Level 50 skills.”
Elena stretched out her white palm. Gold, red, and white light intertwined and slowly landed on Lin Bei’s shoulder.
[You have learned Holy Light Purification!]
[You have learned Wrath of War!]
[You have learned the Eye of Judgment!]
Lin Bei smiled.
Level 50 exclusive skills were in his hands!
Opening the skill column, Lin Bei glanced at the skills.
Holy Light Purification could be used to cleanse all pollution. Moreover, it could add a Holy Light state and cause additional damage to dark-type targets.
Wrath of War increased critical hit rate and critical damage.
The Eye of Judgment could detect the enemy’s information and weaknesses.
All three skills were very practical.
Unfortunately, Lin Bei had already used up all his King’s Insignias and could not continue to increase his skill level.
“Teacher, I’m leaving.”
“Okay, go. Improve your strength as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
Lin Bei said goodbye to her and left Green Mountain City, returning to Dark Moon Valley.
The Instance Dungeons had already opened. Now, a large number of guild members had surged in excitedly.
He looked at the time. There were still 22 hours before the cooldown of the Blood Demon Token ended. It was enough for him to absorb and refine a Divinity Crystal and two Divinity Dust.
Lin Bei arrived at the newly built City Lord Residence and entered the secret room to refine the divinity items.
In the real world, Lin Bei fell asleep.
In the underground base below the abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Magic City.
A middle-aged man and an old man appeared. The members of the Yellow Fire Squad were extremely respectful.
“Tell me, did you find anything?”
“These people must have been cut in the throats by someone who controlled blades with mental strength. They died directly. Before they died, they did not have any reaction. In other words, the other party’s mental strength is very powerful and he can quickly control the blades to attack quickly. As a result, these desperadoes died before they could react.”
In the Yellow Fire Squad, a yellow-haired young man said in a low voice.
“Yes, this person… is not simple.”
The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the old man beside him, “Uncle Zong, what do you think?”
“Hehe, from the residual energy in the surroundings, this person’s spiritual power can only be considered ordinary in the Yellow Fire Squad.”
The old man smiled. “However, other than mental strength, he’s not weak in other aspects. In my opinion, he should be an all-rounded person who has strengthened every aspect.”
“All-rounded person?!”
When the three members of the Yellow Fire Squad heard this, they were dumbfounded. “Elder Zong, you’re saying that this person is an Omnipotent? How is that possible! Even in our entire Yellow Fire Squad, there are only a handful of people who can become an Omnipotent!”
“Sigh, you guys…”
The old man sighed and shook his head. “Look for yourselves. The wounds on their throats are different. I checked and saw that this person controlled at least five sharp blades at the same time. As you know, it’s already difficult for ordinary Mental Power Masters to control two or three blades to fly, but this person is clearly different. In other words, he’s not weak in other aspects.”
“At the very least, from the residual energy fluctuations, the strength of his power is about the same as yours. However, how many of you can control more than five flying daggers at the same time and silently kill these people?”
“Well…”
The three members of the Yellow Fire Squad fell silent.
Indeed, they could not do such a thing.
With the same strength, other than those all-rounded ones who could completely strengthen their physical attributes, it was impossible to do this.
“You guys can go back. Leave this matter to the two of us.”
“Understood!”
Hearing this, the three members of the Yellow Fire Squad retreated.
“Uncle Zong, if this is really an all-rounder, what should we do?”
The middle-aged man asked.
“Let’s meet him first. If he causes trouble, we’ll just kill him.”
“Haha, that’s how it should be done!”
The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this. He reached out and grabbed the remaining magic power in his hand. After a while, he said, “This is the residue of magic power, not battle aura. I’ve already marked it. He can’t escape.”
“Then let’s move!”
“Alright!”
The middle-aged man smiled and left the underground base.
About ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at a forest. They dug up a piece of land and found a few kitchen knives in a pit.
“These… are the weapons he used?”
The corners of the middle-aged man’s mouth twitched in disbelief.
At the side, Elder Zong’s expression froze and was a little unnatural.
“Looks like this person is an Innate Awakened.”
“This…?!”
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Innate Awakened?
Such a person was rare!
Many people could only gradually become stronger and obtain powerful strength through cultivation or potion strengthening!
However, Innate Awakened were different. They were born very powerful!
If combined with cultivation and potion strengthening, they would become unprecedentedly powerful!
“In the entire Dragon Country, there are only three Innate Awakened! Is there going to be a fourth?”
The middle-aged man exclaimed, “An Innate Awakened! Uncle Zong, among the three Innate Awakened in our Dragon Country, what’s the weakest combat strength?”
“Five years ago, the weakest one had a combat strength of 100,000!”
“Hiss—!”
The middle-aged man gasped when he heard this.
Even the weakest had 100,000 combat strength!
This… was too terrifying!
One had to know that he had cultivated diligently since he was young. Coupled with the enhancement of the potion, his combat strength had only exceeded 5,000 until now!
As for Uncle Zong, his combat strength was only 8,000 points.
Not even 10,000!
As for 100,000 Combat Strength?
He did not even dare to think about it!
Most importantly, this 100,000 Combat Strength? was from five years ago!
Who knew how strong he was now?
Moreover, this was only the weakest Innate Awakened!
What about the strongest?
How strong was he?
He did not dare to think about it.
“Report it. We can’t handle this matter.”
Elder Zong sighed. “The appearance of a suspected Innate Awakened requires a top-notch expert with a combat strength of more than 10,000 to take action. This person’s weapon was kitchen knife, and his methods of dealing with the crime scene are very clumsy. It can be imagined that he should have just awakened not long ago. If we take action now, we have a chance of winning.”
“I hope he’s not a troublemaker. Otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble.”
“Troublemaker? Then let’s teach him a lesson!”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he pursed his lips and said, “Even if he’s an Innate Awakened, he hasn’t grown up yet and won’t be able to cause a huge wave!”
When Elder Zong heard this, he nodded in agreement, but he changed the topic. “You’re right. Then when the time comes, you’ll deal with him? You have to think carefully. The growth speed of an Innate Awakened is very fast. If he’s really a troublemaker, aren’t you afraid that he’ll settle scores with you after he becomes stronger?”
“Uh… Ahem, Uncle Zong, I was just joking, right? Let’s leave this matter to those big shots. We’ll just join in the fun.”
The middle-aged man’s face stiffened and he smiled awkwardly.
“Alright, let’s lock onto that person’s location first. With these kitchen knives, it should be easier.”
“That’s right. Our Chen family’s Shadow Pursuit Technique is not a joke. As long as there’s a wisp of aura, I can track it even if it runs for more than ten thousand miles!”
The middle-aged man chuckled. He held the kitchen knife in his hand and battle aura floated.
Soon, a red mark floated up from the kitchen knife and pointed in a direction.
“That way!”
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up and he rushed towards the direction with the elder.
However, after running for a while, they realized that something was wrong.
Because the mark condensed by the Shadow Pursuit Technique began to spin on the spot!
“What’s going on?”
The middle-aged man was stunned and muttered, “Could it be underground?”
He had never encountered such a situation before.
Generally speaking, the mark condensed by the Shadow Pursuit Technique was red. After finding the target, it would turn golden.
But now?
The battle aura mark was still red, but it spun on the spot as if it was dizzy!
“Patriarch, can your Shadow Pursuit Technique do it?”
Elder Zong’s expression was strange. He looked at the dizzy Combat Aura mark and then at the middle-aged man. He could not help but say in a low voice, “When you were young, you were like Young Master Changsheng. You did not like to cultivate. If not for the old master…”
“Stop! Uncle Zong, what does this have to do with me when I was young? My Shadow Pursuit Technique has been cultivated to the seventh stage realm. There’s definitely no problem!”
The middle-aged man was sweating profusely and hurriedly said, “In this situation, there’s only one possibility. The other party used some method to hide his aura! Moreover, he hid it very thoroughly! Otherwise, my Shadow Pursuit Technique would have been able to find him!”
“However, it’s not bad now. At the very least, we’ve narrowed it down to this area. That person should be hiding in this area!”
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “However, we should retreat now. If we continue to search, we might alert the enemy! Let’s wait for the higher-ups to send someone down.”
“Yes, that’s good too.”
Elder Zong nodded slightly when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the villa area in the distance before leaving.
In the bedroom, Lin Bei was sleeping. However, because his attributes had all exceeded 100 points, even though he was in a deep sleep, his consciousness was still awake and covered his surroundings.
He could wake up at any time now.
However, if he did this, it was very likely that the conversion of the divinity item would fail, so he would not do this unless he had no choice.
“Eh? Someone’s here!”
Lin Bei noticed two people poking their heads out of the forest in the distance. They were the middle-aged man surnamed Chen and Elder Zong.
“They’re quite fast. I didn’t expect them to find this place in just a few days.”
Lin Bei thought to himself, “That red mark should be a tracking secret skill. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem to be effective. Fortunately, I used the Transformation Technique previously. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.”
“But now… I’ve already used the Transformation Technique to change the aura of everything around me. Even if you come to investigate, there won’t be any results!”
Lin Bei smiled in his heart and fell asleep again.
***
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
After a day, Lin Bei absorbed and refined a Divinity Crystal and two Divinity Dust.
His attributes increased again.
“Four basic attributes. Other than Strength, all the other attributes… have exceeded 1,000 points.”
Lin Bei smiled. He was even stronger now!
