What's even more terrifying is that this is just the base value; it can be increased by amplification, and it will be even more powerful when combined with Bai Shuodong's forbidden body.

Oh no! Oh no!

How can we fight with such high numbers?

"How are you now? Are you in danger? Is your life in danger?" Jiang Lin asked seriously.

"It's alright, it's not a big problem."

Bai Shuodong answered with complete ease, then narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "I have to live well. If I'm gone, I can probably take a small province with me."

This is true. The self-destruction power of the Blood Demon Armor after it dies, which is 100 kilometers away, is the original self-destruction power after it reaches the Gold level. As long as the Blood Demon Armor continues to absorb blood to improve, the self-destruction power will increase accordingly, and the range of impact will be... possibly more than 100 kilometers.

"..."

Jiang Lin did not answer.

Although he really wanted to insult Bai Shuodong, judging from the historical record of the Forbidden Walker, it was indeed possible for this guy to take away a small province after he died. There was a first-level Forbidden Walker who was murdered in the city before.

Moreover, the perpetrator made prior security preparations during the murder, including spatial exile and the use of repressive abilities.

The forbidden traveler laughed and said, "Brother, can you tell if I'm committing suicide?"

He committed suicide by unknown means.

Then, the taboo erupted, and highly toxic taboos instantly covered the entire city, and were spreading to the surrounding areas at an extremely fast speed.

The poison was extremely potent, even a fourth-tier psychic couldn't control it. If it weren't for the intervention of dozens of fifth-tier psychics, the aftershocks of that forbidden traveler's death could have wiped out two or three provinces.

These are the Taboo Walkers.

Later, the family of the man who murdered the Forbidden Walker was wiped out, as were the families of his employers.

That disaster directly caused the deaths of tens of millions of people and destroyed countless harmonious families.

For top-tier psionicists, worldly peace is what they need most.

why?

Because they are kind?

No, that's not the case.

Only by maintaining stability in the present world can we steadily cultivate the next generation of psionicists. Only by continuously cultivating new psionicists can we obtain more resources from the spirit world.

With new people comes loans, loans lead to consumption, consumption creates a market, and with a market, top-tier psychics can make money effortlessly and acquire more resources. The more psychics there are in the real world, the more they earn.

Therefore, they need a stable world, and a safe world will allow them to access more resources.

As for those who rise from the lower ranks to higher ranks?

Of course, that's no problem.

No strong person is afraid of these things. As long as they also become top-level, they can enjoy the same benefits. This society is a breeding ground for the strong. Loans are a matter of mutual consent. It is entirely possible for someone to go to the spirit world alone to make a living.

In this world, social interaction, teamwork, and schooling are never mandatory. It's just that this generally leads to faster progress. Everything is a matter of personal choice.

Therefore, they are not afraid of these things at all.

They were even quite happy to see it.

After all, for high-level psionicists, the higher the rank, the fewer friends they have to fight alongside. The waters of the high-level spirit world are very deep, and it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress.

If a truly powerful top-tier psychic emerges, as long as there's no conflict, they'd actually be quite happy to see such a person.

"You... be careful."

Jiang Lin said with a strange expression.

Theoretically speaking, what a Taboo Walker says may be true or it may be nonsense, but you can't gamble on the probability.

If you gamble wrong, you'll drag countless others down with you.

Forcibly suppressing those who practice forbidden arts?

Um...

It's no use suppressing a weak forbidden traveler; he can't cause any trouble anyway.

A powerful forbidden walker, no matter how much you suppress him, will forcefully self-destruct and destroy everything.

Therefore, the best choice when facing a forbidden person is not to offend them, even if you know that they are dangerous or that they may be deliberately trying to harm you.

Dealing with forbidden travelers is like opening a blind box. If you open the right one, nothing happens; if you open the wrong one, you're instantly wiped out.

However, the number of Taboo Walkers who truly master the forbidden taboos is actually quite small, accounting for a very small percentage of all Taboo Walkers, so some of them are indeed willing to take action.

You'd better bet right every time.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore, Lao Bai, aren't you curious..." Jiang Lin took the initiative to change the subject.

"Stop!"

Bai Shuodong's expression immediately turned cold. She leaned her face close to Jiang Lin's, stared at him, poked his chest with her hand, and said coldly, "If it were before, it would have been fine if you called me Lao Bai, but now that you're borrowing spiritual energy points from me, what should you call me?"

"..."

Jiang Lin lowered his head, sighed, and finally uttered two words with difficulty: "Godfather."

"Hey! Good boy! That's right!"

Bai Shuodong burst out laughing, patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder, and said, "Here, these 4 spirit points are your father's reward to you, interest-free."

Chapter 144 The Power of the Oath Knight

[Transaction complete]

Current psionic points: 518

Bai Shuodong glanced at his balance and immediately felt a chill run down his spine. Damn it! Forty thousand! That's forty thousand spirit points! Forty thousand spirit points!

Ahhhhh!

My heart aches so much!

"Greetings, Godfather!"

Jiang Lin immediately bowed deeply, his actions incredibly efficient, without any hesitation, and even with a relaxed smile on his face.

They're all extremely domineering guys.

"By the way, tell me about your profession. Is it impressive?" Bai Shuodong asked curiously.

"hey-hey!"

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "For others, this class is just average, a decent tank, but for me it's different. This class can bring about a qualitative change for me."

"How to say?"

"hey-hey!"

Jiang Lin smiled confidently and said, "You should know about my talent, right?"

"Slow start".

"Correct!"

Jiang Lin leaned closer, his eyes bright, and said with utmost seriousness, "The core ability of a knight of oaths is actually in the oath. There are many types of core oath abilities, and I can switch between them freely, but most of these abilities are not particularly strong."

"However..."

"One of the oaths is called the Oath of the Glory of the Past. This oath is very special. It can store one's peak state and retrieve it during battle."

"State storage?"

Bai Shuodong's eyes lit up instantly. If this guy had a [state storage] type of ability, then the disadvantage of [slow start] could become an extreme advantage, allowing him to start at full power right from the beginning. That strength would be off the charts.

"Hey hey hey!"

Jiang Lin laughed heartily, but his smile quickly faded. He sighed and said helplessly, "However, unfortunately, the Oath of Glorious Past has many limitations. If I store 100 seconds of peak state, it can only be converted into 1 second of usable peak state."

"Hmm... this ratio is indeed outrageous."

Bai Shuodong nodded slightly, then his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he continued to question, "Wait! Something's not right! Since the ratio is so large! And the cost to a regular psychic is so high! Does that mean there are no other limitations?"

"Hehe?"

Jiang Lin laughed again, a very happy laugh, and continued, "Indeed, because this skill itself has many limitations, there are no other restrictions on its use."

“For a normal psychic, it’s difficult to store up a lot of time at peak performance, but I’m different. My slow-start peak performance can be stored up on a large scale, thus ensuring that I have a fairly ample amount of peak performance time.”

"Hiss! That's practically a mutation in a second!"

Bai Shuodong gasped instantly. If that were the case, then the Oath Knight would definitely be the top-tier profession for Jiang Lin.

He continued, "So, what are the base stats for your profession? What types of other abilities does it have? How strong is it overall?"

"Career growth potential 21, physique 10, strength 5, spirit 3, agility 3. Typical of a main-strength, secondary-strength type of profession. The conversion ratio of physique to life is 1 to 30. Legendary level, the highest level."

"The core ability is what I just told you. You can't just change the core ability of this profession, so I plan to use [Oath of Old Glory] until the very end," Jiang Lin said with a smile.

"What about the other abilities?"

"That's pretty strong too."

Jiang Lin gestured in mid-air, seemingly looking at his own panel, and said to Bai Shuodong as he looked at it: "Oath of Resurrection and Protection, an aura-type recovery ability, restores the health of all friendly units within range every second, calculated according to my health percentage."
