Chapter 65 Star Luo, I'll refund your money in Geneva.
Hyotei gazed at the vanishing, aged figure, and sighed solemnly:
"I never imagined this old man's strength was so formidable!"
Tianmeng laughed nonchalantly, "Isn't this great, Bingbing? I could tell that old gentleman really liked Lin Dong; I could feel his goodwill. Besides, this time, Lin Dong's improvement was quite significant!"
At this moment, the wound on Lin Dong's forehead not only failed to heal, but instead slowly expanded until it finally formed, resembling a third eye.
Although that vibrant life force was cleansing his spiritual sea, the intense pain never ceased.
Lin Dong felt as if his entire being was being constantly torn apart and reshaped, and his consciousness remained clear, allowing him to feel the pain and hear the conversations in his spiritual sea.
The immense pain brought by fusing with the life-giving metal even reminded Lin Dong of the feeling of being shattered by ten thousand bolts of lightning. The difference was that one was physical, and the other was spiritual.
He felt as if every nerve in his body was being pricked with needles, and that needles were being inserted and shaken from time to time.
After a long time, as Lin Dong gradually got used to this torment, a ray of light shone into his chaotic consciousness.
His nearly shattered spiritual essence was enveloped in a soft golden halo, as if it were being pieced back together in a cool, golden lake.
As Lin Dong gradually regained consciousness, he discovered that a vertical eye, gray with a golden sheen, had appeared on his forehead.
When Lin Dong's spiritual body re-entered the Sea of Spirit, he saw that it had expanded to at least three times its original size and was now much more stable and vast.
In the center of the seemingly endless milky-white space lies a turquoise lake brimming with vibrant life.
The Blade of the Guardians of Life hangs high above it, having already taken the form of the Eye of Life.
What's even stranger is that in the center of this vast lake, the mysterious throne stands upright, but the aura of the figure on it seems to have become somewhat lively.
Immediately afterwards, Electrolux's voice came from the "sky".
"Each piece of the Life Gold is like a small world. I used the Life Gold's power to seal its original life force within Lin Dong's spiritual sea. From now on, his spiritual power will grow at least three times faster than before."
It's no exaggeration to say that his spiritual sea will be immortal from now on, and even his physical body will be nourished by the life-giving metal. No matter what kind of injuries he suffers, as long as his brain is still intact, he can slowly repair himself. It can be said that even if he wanted to die, it wouldn't be an easy thing.
"Lin Dong, there are a few more things I need to tell you. First, the Blade of Life's Watch has not disappeared. Your third eye, the Eye of Life, is its true form. As long as you concentrate your consciousness on the Eye of Life, you can summon the carving knife. However, this carving knife will possess some of the characteristics of the Metal of Life, and some of my characteristics."
"Secondly, from now on, my existence can also be considered a unique martial soul of yours. However, this martial soul cannot be equipped with spirit rings. Now, all my power originates from you; at most, I am stronger than you in terms of control."
"Third, I suggest that after you finish this competition, you go into seclusion for a period of time to experience the wonders that the Gold of Life brings you and truly integrate and absorb this life force."
"Finally, thanks to the improvement from the Gold of Life, your already formidable physical strength has also made considerable progress, and your spiritual sea can now hold a much larger amount of spiritual power. However, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, if you don't know how to control it, it will only be wasted. Perhaps you will need to explore this on your own."
After saying that, seeing Lin Dong, Tianmeng, and Bingdi nod, Electrolux continued:
"My consciousness resides in this Eye of Living Beings, or you may call it the Second Sea of Spirit. With the Gold of Living Beings, my consciousness will no longer be at risk of dissipating as it was before."
"My consciousness will be continuously repaired by this enormous life force, and I will also be able to recover some of my power. Perhaps I can help you then. When you are stronger, I will give you a choice: whether or not to accept my inheritance."
"In my remaining memories, I should have three abilities. Two of them were passed down to people from my original plane of existence, and this last one is my best inheritance."
It is still preserved to this day. If you are willing, you should be able to try to accept this inheritance after your cultivation reaches the fifth ring.
"Alright, that's enough for today. I need to complete the fusion with the Eye of Life as soon as possible. Now that your consciousness, sea of spirit, and body have been perfectly fused, you should continue with your own affairs."
The moment Lin Dong's consciousness returned to his body, exhaustion overwhelmed him, and he almost collapsed into sleep. He only managed to stay upright by sheer willpower.
He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within, and grinned, saying:
"Already at level twenty-eight? With your current physical strength, it seems you're only one level away from rivaling a Soul Emperor. I wonder what level the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger, formed from your soul power, can reach..."
Three days later.
The elimination rounds were over, and the members of Sun and Moon were sitting in the rest area. Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at the rest area, but a trace of sorrow welled up in his heart:
I wonder how much Xingluo's reputation will plummet after these group results are announced...
The host on stage noticed Xu Jiawei's gaze, and could only clear his throat with a forced smile, saying hesitantly:
"Dear viewers, the three-day elimination rounds have come to an end, and I'm sure you've all had a feast for the eyes. The upcoming matches will be even more exciting."
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Witnessed by members of the competition organizing committee and all parties involved, and adhering to the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency, the 67 teams that advanced from the knockout stage will be divided into eight groups, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the next round.
Group 1: Shrek Academy, Heaven Dou City Advanced Academy, Sun Moon Ocean Research Academy…
"Group Two: Star Luo Royal Academy, Sun Moon Naval Academy..."
"Group Three: Douling Royal Academy..."
"Group Four: Imperial Academy..."
"..."
"Group Nine: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Zheng Tian Academy, Ming Du Soul Master Academy, Star Luo City Advanced Academy, Star Luo Seaside Academy, Star Luo Harbor Academy..."
The moment the group results were announced, the audience erupted in uproar, and someone immediately shouted:
"It's a conspiracy! Why isn't any of the famous academies in Shrek Academy's group? We want to see Shrek Academy show their might, not watch them crush these bumpkins!"
"Yeah, yeah! Those damn Xingluo! I spent so much money, do you think you're doing us any favors? I'll fucking give you a refund!"
