: Breaking through the level 30 bottleneck and unlocking the Holy Revelation?

"Tsk—"

Lin Mo felt a deafening roar in his mind.

The Black Sword has changed its skills again, but this time it's even more brutal.

The three skill options that were gradually becoming clearer.

[Strong acid spray], [Phase-healing], [Division and proliferation]

It shattered suddenly!

Instead, countless dark and crimson runes surged and combined wildly!

Beyond her consciousness, Yin Xue immediately transformed into a young girl, using her power to lock in the dissipated energy.

After an unknown amount of time, all the strange phenomena gradually subsided.

The dark red patterns on Lin Mo's body faded, and the black sword returned to its calm state.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, there seemed to be a faint vortex of shadows, constantly disappearing and reborn, flashing by in an instant.

The skill selection interface had disappeared from my mind.

Instead, a completely new skill has emerged:

【Soul Erosion Realm】

[Effect: Condenses the soul within the Black Sword into a highly concentrated corrupted soul core. After traveling a certain distance or contacting a physical obstacle, the core will explode violently, dealing massive damage to all enemies within a large radius of the blast center. After the explosion, a "Corrupted Soul Zone" will remain in the center of the area, continuously damaging enemies within its range.]

(Note: This skill is modified based on the essential characteristics of the Corrupted Slime. Its power and range increase with the amount of mental energy consumed and the number of souls. Use with caution!)

It worked!

Lin Mo was secretly shocked as he looked at the skill description.

The skills modified by the black sword not only possess the power to attack multiple targets!

Moreover, it is extremely destructive to single targets!

I can sense that if I wanted, all the souls in the Black Sword would immediately come together.

If released, its power would likely be enough to instantly destroy half of the square.

At the same time, his level also increased to level 31!

Name: Lin Mo

[Level: 31]

【Body: 12826】

[Agility: 12826]

【Spirit: 12826】

Free attribute points: 1850

[Skills: Mirror Image, Double Strike, Steel Sword, Soul Corrosion]

Absorbing the essence of a level 50 Beast King directly increased all attributes by 2500 points!

In addition, there's the 300-point increase in all attributes per level after level 30.

Lin Mo's strength has increased dramatically once again!

He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air carrying a faint corrosive smell, and opened his eyes to look at Yin Xue.

Yin Xue was still in her girl form at this moment, and the sudden eye contact startled her.

"What...what are you doing?"

Lin Mo spoke slowly, his voice slightly hoarse from the exertion he had just experienced.

"Didn't you say that after reaching level 30, a hero can 'awaken'? I'm at that level now, and my stats far exceed those of a normal level 30 hero. Now, I need you to help me activate the Holy Awakening."

He had a vague feeling that this mysterious black sword might unlock a very powerful ability.

Upon hearing this, Yin Xue first blinked his blood-red eyes.

Then, with a "poof," she transformed back into a miniature form the size of a palm.

It flapped its wings and flew to Lin Mo, then solemnly stretched out its tiny palm and placed it on Lin Mo's forehead.

Lin Mo thought she was going to perform some kind of ritual or exploration.

He obediently closed his eyes and focused his mind in preparation.

However, after waiting for a while, all that could be heard was Yin Xue's voice filled with doubt.

"He doesn't have a fever... so why is he talking nonsense?"

Lin Mo: "..."

He opened his eyes and stared blankly at Yin Xue, who was standing right in front of him.

Yin Xue withdrew her little hand, crossed her arms, and her little face was full of "Are you stupid?" expressions.

After circling Lin Mo once, it spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "Hey, wake up! Do you really think I'm omnipotent? I'm the Demon King! You want me, a Demon King, to help you with 'Holy Initiation'? Do you think that's appropriate? Do I look like I know how to do that kind of thing?!"

Lin Momo thought about it and realized it made sense.

Divine Revelation is the core ability that the Church bestows upon heroes to bind them with the Holy Armor of Light.

Its principles and rituals are necessarily closely related to the power of light.

As a demon king, Yin Xue would indeed not learn such an ability.

My demands are indeed unreasonable, even absurd.

I was too impatient.

Blinded by the increase in strength, he actually asked such a question.

But his brow remained furrowed as he pressed on, "Then how can I activate the Holy Revelation?"

This is the key.

He cannot remain without this important ability forever.

Yin Xue shrugged her small shoulders and spread her little hands: "How would I know the specific procedures? I guess I'd have to go to the Heroes' Association and find those old priests to give you a blessing or something, right?"

Should we go to the Heroes' Guild?

Should I have a priest perform a blessing?

Lin Mo's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Let him, a nobody who possesses the Demon King's power, wields magical weapons, and has just killed the city lord and a group of heroes, disguise himself as a newbie hero who has just broken through level 30.

They also had to infiltrate the Hero Association and foolishly complete commissions alongside those hot-blooded guys, to finish the so-called Holy Revelation Ritual.

How is that possible?!

Let's set aside whether he can successfully fake it.

The mere thought of mingling with those "compatriots" who might not even be mentally sound made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, the risk is too great; once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing Lin Mo's expression of utter dismay, Yin Xue chuckled.

She chuckled and flew forward, patting Lin Mo's shoulder with her little hand.

"Relax, relax, don't be too discouraged. Maybe... you'll unlock it yourself someday? Like that idiot hero before, didn't he force it on himself? Maybe one day while you're fighting, it'll just 'buzz' and give you something like 'Death Finger' or 'Devouring Heaven Demon Art'? Haha!"

Lin Mo also found it amusing: "You know quite a lot."

Yin Xue tilted his head and said, "Hmph! All you do every day is kill monsters and level up. I'm so bored that I can only look at the things in your memories. But you have to admit, they're quite interesting. No wonder you believed me when I said I was the system when you first came here."

Then, she glanced at the already deep night outside the window.

"Anyway, I'm exhausted. Running around and fighting with you these past few days has been a real ordeal! I need to go and enjoy myself."

As she spoke, she turned and flew towards the door.

At the same time, he gave instructions to Otem, who had been standing in the corner trying to minimize his presence.

"Hey! Little Wooden Head! Prepare the best room for me! The softest and biggest bed! And the most sumptuous dinner! In short, everything must be the best!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty! I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Otmu nodded and bowed hastily, his wooden face beaming with smiles, and followed Yin Xue out.

If his fear of Lin Mo was an acknowledgment of his strength, then his fear of Yin Xue was instinctual.

The room fell silent instantly.

Lin Mo was left alone, standing in the center of the empty room, watching the two figures leave.

He sighed silently.

A deep sense of weariness quietly crept into my heart, not from my body, but from my mind.

Yes, there's no use in rushing now.

The Holy Revelation cannot be activated for the time being, and the earliest batch of "Pure Source Elixir" will not be ready until three days later.

Even the monsters around Mingbei City have been almost completely wiped out.

For the past three days, he really had nothing to do.

This free time made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, and even a little anxious.
