Chapter 221: 140, Dusk Front, Irenado
The Battle Skill inscribed on the Inheritance Stele was shockingly the “Star Undying Body.”
As a top-tier Original-level Battle Skill known for its transformation and recovery abilities within the Life Faction, it was accessible only to souls of the Life Faction or the Order Faction. Moreover, one had to cultivate the Basic Battle Technique, “Free Body,” to the Instinct Level before there was even a slight chance of getting a foothold in it.
The cultivation of this Combat Skill placed great emphasis on comprehension and energy change.
A hint of a smile appeared on Lin Qing’s face.
Although he could learn this Original-level Battle Skill at the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall, it required signing a contract and earning ‘Civilization’s Flame’ merit—a kind of honor only awarded for dealing with criminals on the Black List.
Those on the Black List were few in number, and each was as powerful as an Inspector!
His current strength did not give him much hope of taking down such adversaries, and even if he could, he wouldn’t expose himself; doing so would be too ostentatious and would undoubtedly draw the attention of the Intelligent Star Group.
Besides, even if he managed to learn it at the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall, he could only acquire the first half, the “Original Chapter.”
To access the latter half, the “Giant Spirit Chapter,” one had to be an Original Life and would need to make contributions first to have any chance of learning it.
“However, even after just getting started, it wouldn’t be until half a year later that I could afford it.”
Lin Qing wasn’t in a hurry.
For now, the best way to pay off his debts was to reserve his upcoming “Heart Refining Method” for Power Awakening.
Next, the “God Casting” Battle Skill would also take another eight months to settle before he could consider advancing the “Star Undying Body.”
And the “Source Divine Weapon” would have to wait until next year.
As for the ‘Domain’ debt, he had no immediate plan to repay it.
Because completing it required cultivating the Bloodline Evolution Method 176 times, each requiring three kilograms of Original Crystal, amounting to over five hundred kilograms total.
On Earth, Original Crystals were a restricted resource, and he probably had no hope of paying off the debt before entering the urban circle.
The remaining few kilograms of Original Crystal would be better saved to activate his Energy Shield Bracelet.
“Waiting for a better opportunity to become the Asia’s Supreme Commander and letting my Order Level break through to a thousand might be feasible to afford a head start with the ‘Star Undying Body.'”
Lin Qing immediately touched the stele, experiencing the perfect cultivation process of the “Star Undying Body” firsthand.
Although it was difficult to study, with enough time, there would be no problem in getting started.
“Master, you’ve completely passed this first challenge.”
Chen Guang spoke, “The current success rate predicted by the Chuanxing Tower for your appointment is 85.4%.”
“The rate has improved,” Lin Qing remarked, unfazed.
After awakening his Telekinesis, although still weak, his control over himself had become even more perfect. Not only had his combat strength improved marginally, but he was also now able to multitask, simultaneously controlling seven Source Divine Weapons.
“The Master can now try the second challenge midway up the mountain.”
Chen Guang spoke, “As long as you pass the second challenge and meet the Chuanxing Tower’s requirements, you’ll qualify for even greater benefits that are more suited for you. It will raise your appointment success rate even higher and may even guide you onto the path of a more rare Divine Position.”
Lin Qing nodded slightly and immediately made his way towards the middle of the mountain path.
This peak, hidden among the clouds, was much larger than any mountain on Earth and even a nine-kilometer radius Domain could only cover a tiny part of its base.
After traveling tens of kilometers along the mountain road, Lin Qing finally saw a gentle slope at the mountainside.
It was a vast platform covering over a dozen kilometers in length and width, where numerous human statues in special mechanical armor stood, arranged as neatly as a military formation. At the deepest point of the statue group was a female statue positioned on a floating disc, looking like a general.
Lin Qing couldn’t help but remark as he looked at the gathered statues on the platform, “Don’t tell me these statues all have the same strength as those at the foot of the mountain?”
“That’s not the case,” Chen Guang replied, “This second challenge is tailored by the Chuanxing Tower to suit your situation. Theoretically, if you fully tap into your capabilities right now, you’ll be able to pass it.”
“This army consists of one thousand and one people.”
She looked at the female general statue on the floating disc and continued, “The general is a Telekinesis User with strength roughly equal to one of the three statues at the mountain base, while the soldiers are comparable to the Three Star Level Patrol Elite.”
Lin Qing was taken aback: “You’re setting the bar quite high for me.”
One thousand Three Star Level Patrol Elites?
And a Telekinesis User whose strength was close to his own!
Honestly, if the ranks of Inspectors and Upper Ministers were excluded, this thousand-person army would be far stronger than their headquarters.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Without hesitation, Lin Qing unfurled his Sky Dome Wings and activatedhis Enhancement, Giant Strength, and Divine Speed abilities, along with ejecting eight interconnected Divine Weapons.
He then gripped one particularly suitable for sweeping through battlefields—a dark golden heavy longsword.
The other seven—swords, spears, halberds, and hammers, as Divine Weapons—floated behind him, moving fluidly within his Domain.
With a single step, Lin Qing set foot on the platform.
The moment his feet touched the surface, the statues on the platform trembled slightly, flakes of stone cascading down. Shed of all debris, each statue came to life.
The female general, with her silver hair and dazzling golden eyes full of icy resolve, glanced at Lin Qing and instantly commanded, “Kill!”
The soldiers, faces void of expression, silently charged toward Lin Qing, like puppets on strings.
Lin Qing’s telekinetic sense swept over them and immediately discovered invisible Telekinesis Threads on the soldiers, all extending towards the direction of the female general, seemingly interlinked.
