60: Chapter 60 An Hour of Torture! Void King Beast: I died so unjustly!
The black mist completely dissipated.
Lin Feng saw the new form of the monster before him clearly, and his pupils contracted sharply.
It could no longer be called a Void Jitaï Beast.
It was instead... a terrifying giant beast ten meters tall!
It looked like a mutated platypus magnified countless times, but its entire body was covered in pitch-black bone armor, with dark red magma-like liquid flowing between the gaps.
Six thick bone spikes protruded from its back, each three meters long, their tips shimmering with an eerie blue light.
The most terrifying part was its head—the original duck bill had split into three petals, opening like a piranha plant, revealing three rows of spirally arranged sharp teeth inside.
Those pure black eyes had now turned blood-red, seemingly containing countless wronged souls struggling and wailing within.
[Void King Beast: Fallen Form (King Rank)]
[Rank: 35]
[Health Points: 2,000,000]
[attack power: 6,800-7,500 (Includes Dark Corrosion + Abyss Curse)]
[Defense Power: 6,500]
[Skills: Abyss Breath, Life Devour, Void Storm, Curse Domain, Kings Pressure, ???]
[Description: A void creature forcibly mutated and catalyzed by the heart of darkness, promoted to King Rank. Its sanity is lost, leaving only a pure desire for destruction.]
"Two million health..."
Lin Feng swallowed hard.
It was just 1.5 million a moment ago, and now it has jumped straight to 2 million.
7,500 attack power, 6,500 defense.
These attributes are a huge step up in terror from before!
"Human..."
The Void King Beast lowered its head, its three-petaled mouth opening and closing to produce a sound like metal grinding.
"You... made me... consume... a hundred years of my lifespan... prematurely..."
"You... deserve to die!"
As soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly threw its mouth open!
A black energy pillar three times thicker than before erupted forth!
Skill: Abyss Breath!
Everywhere it passed, space itself twisted and collapsed!
"Water Shield! Light Shield! Earth Shield! Wind Shield!"
Lin Feng frantically stacked shields on himself.
Just as the four layers of magic shields took shape, the Abyss Breath arrived.
Bang!!!
The first layer, the Water Shield, evaporated instantly.
The second layer, the Light Shield, lasted for 0.5 seconds before shattering.
The third layer, the Earth Shield, lasted 1 second before cracking apart.
The fourth layer, the Wind Shield, lasted 1.5 seconds before disintegrating.
The Abyss Breath's momentum remained undiminished as it slammed into the Sand Armor.
The surface of the Sand Armor flickered wildly, the absorption value jumping frantically.
1,000... 2,000... 3,000... 4,000... 5,000...
Crack!
The Sand Armor shattered!
"Void Walk!"
Lin Feng urgently activated the life-saving skill of the wanxiang ring.
His body instantly turned illusory, teleporting fifty meters away.
Boom!!!
A massive crater ten meters in diameter and five meters deep was blasted into the spot where he had just been standing by the Abyss Breath.
The rocks inside the crater had all melted, turning into scalding lava.
"Holy crap..."
Cold sweat poured down Lin Feng's face.
If he hadn't dodged that, even his 220,000 health wouldn't have lasted more than a few hits!
"I can't take it head-on!"
His mind raced.
This Void King Beast's attack power was too terrifying; with 7,500 damage plus skill modifiers, a single hit could deal at least ten to twenty thousand damage to him.
Although he had 220,000 health, he couldn't afford to waste it like that.
"I have to use crowd control skills to restrict it!"
Lin Feng pressed both hands to the ground and activated Sand Control.
"Sand Profound Truth—Quicksand Hell!"
Rumble—
The ground within a two-hundred-meter radius instantly turned into boiling quicksand!
The range was so large it swallowed the entire Void King Beast!
The Void King Beast's massive body began to sink.
It roared and struggled, but the suction of the quicksand was too strong.
The more it struggled, the faster it sank.
In the blink of an eye, it was submerged up to its waist.
"Good!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Taking advantage of its restriction, he raised both hands simultaneously.
Left hand—Fireball Technique + Blasting Light Flame Technique + Lightning Strike Technique!
Right hand—Wind Blade Technique + Ice Cone Technique + Light Bullet Technique!
"Six-Skill Fusion—Elemental Judgment: Modified!"
This time, he infused sixty thousand mana!
Buzz—
A rainbow-colored energy cannon barrel, thicker than before, condensed in his palm.
The cannon barrel had a diameter of half a meter and a length of five meters, with six-colored runes flowing over its surface.
"Go—Fire!!!"
A torrent of rainbow energy erupted forth!
It slammed violently into the Void King Beast's chest!
-48,700!
A damage number of nearly fifty thousand jumped up!
"It's working!"
Lin Feng grew excited.
While it was trapped by the quicksand, he unleashed a frantic barrage of attacks!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
One Elemental Judgment after another smashed into it as if they cost nothing.
50,000... 50,000... 50,000...
Each shot could take off nearly fifty thousand health!
Ten shots meant five hundred thousand!
Twenty shots meant a million!
The Void King Beast's health began to drop visibly to the naked eye.
2 million... 1.9 million... 1.8 million... 1.7 million...
"Roar!!!"
The Void King Beast was completely enraged.
It stopped struggling to escape the quicksand.
Instead, it opened its three-petaled mouth and roared at the sky.
Skill: Void Storm!
Whoosh—!!!
Centered on it, violent void energy erupted!
It wasn't a breath; it was an all-encompassing energy storm with no blind spots!
Wherever the storm passed, quicksand was blown away, rocks were ground to pieces, and the very air wailed!
Lin Feng's Elemental Judgment energy cannon was blown off course by the storm, missing its target and slamming into the mountainside, collapsing half the mountain.
"Not good!"
Lin Feng's expression changed.
He immediately condensed a Sand Wall in front of him.
But the Void Storm was too powerful.
The Sand Walls were torn apart layer by layer like they were made of paper.
"Water Shield! Light Shield! Earth Shield! Wind Shield!"
Lin Feng frantically stacked shields.
The four layers of shields were torn apart as soon as they were applied.
He stacked them again, and they shattered again.
His mana drained away like water through an open sluice gate.
In just those ten short seconds, he had stacked over twenty layers of shields and consumed more than forty thousand mana!
Finally, the Void Storm stopped.
Lin Feng panted heavily and looked toward the Void King Beast.
Its health... had returned to 1.85 million!
"It healed?!"
Lin Feng's eyes widened.
Looking closely, a faint blood-colored glow was emerging from the Void King Beast's body.
Skill: Life Devour!
While it was releasing the Void Storm just now, it was also frantically devouring the surrounding life energy!
The corpses of the men in black it had killed, the surrounding vegetation, and even the microorganisms in the rocks...
All the life energy was sucked dry by it and converted into health!
"How the hell am I supposed to fight this!"
Lin Feng's mental state began to crumble slightly.
It can deal damage, control the field, and even heal.
How do you beat this thing?
"No... there must be a way..."
Lin Feng forced himself to calm down.
He remembered what his Master, Zhao Ritian, had said.
"Void Beast skills are often bizarre and impossible to guard against."
"But as long as you find the weakness, you can deliver a fatal blow."
Weakness...
What is the Void King Beast's weakness?
Lin Feng stared intently at that massive body.
Eyes? Covered by bone armor.
Throat? Deep inside the three-petaled mouth, unreachable.
Soft belly? But it was hovering now, its belly close to the ground.
"Wait... hovering?"
Lin Feng suddenly noticed a detail.
Although the Void King Beast was hovering, those six bone spikes on its back...
Seemed to be trembling slightly?
"Could those bone spikes be its weakness?"
With a thought, Lin Feng decided to test it.
He raised his hand and fired a small Light-Thunder Arrow at one of the bone spikes.
Poof!
The Light-Thunder Arrow hit the base of the bone spike.
-23,500!
"Eh! The damage doubled!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
But the Void King Beast also sensed his intention.
It suddenly retracted its bone spikes close to its back while simultaneously opening its mouth for another Abyss Breath!
"Void Walk!"
Lin Feng teleported away again.
But he was already certain.
Those bone spikes were the Void King Beast's fatal weakness!
Because they were connected to its nerves and energy core!
"Then that makes things easier!"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth.
He stopped confronting it head-on.
Instead, he began to circle around the Void King Beast.
While running, he used minor skills to harass those bone spikes.
The Void King Beast roared repeatedly in annoyance.
It wanted to blast Lin Feng with its breath, but Lin Feng was too agile, teleporting away every time.
It wanted to clear the field with a Void Storm, but Lin Feng anticipated it and used Sand Walls to block the storm's power.
It wanted to heal, but Lin Feng used Sand Control to bury all the surrounding corpses and vegetation, leaving it with nothing to absorb.
The battle shifted from a head-on clash to guerrilla warfare.
Lin Feng was like a slippery loach, darting around the Void King Beast.
Every now and then, he would catch it off guard and fire a shot at those bone spikes.
Although the damage from a single hit wasn't high, it was considerable when accumulated.
1.85 million... 1.8 million... 1.75 million... 1.7 million...
The Void King Beast's health began to decline steadily once again.
But its attacks also became increasingly frenzied.
"Roar!!!"
It suddenly unleashed its ultimate move.
Skill: Curse Domain!
Centered on it, the area within a five-hundred-meter radius was instantly shrouded in darkness!
The darkness was filled with the power of curses.
Lin Feng felt his body grow heavy as various negative status effects surged over him.
[Affected by Curse Domain: All Attributes -20%, Movement Speed -50%, Lose 1% HP per second]
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng's expression changed.
He immediately activated the purification ability of the holy light wing cloak.
Buzz—
Golden light erupted from the cloak, dispelling part of the curse.
But the effect was limited, only reducing it by half.
All attributes were still -10%, and he was losing 0.5% HP per second.
0.5% might not seem like much, but with 220,000 health, that was 1,100 points every second!
Ten seconds meant over ten thousand!
"I can't drag this out!"
Lin Feng grit his teeth.
He no longer held back and began to unleash a frantic barrage of attacks.
Light-Thunder Arrows, Ice-Fire Orbs, Wind-Thunder Spikes...
Various Fusion skills smashed into the Void King Beast's bone spikes like a torrential rain.
The Void King Beast was not to be outdone, counterattacking with Abyss Breath and Void Storm.
The two sides went back and forth, fighting until the world seemed to darken.
Time passed minute by minute.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Thirty minutes...
Lin Feng's mana fluctuated like a roller coaster.
220,000... 180,000... 150,000... 100,000... 80,000...
The recovery speed couldn't keep up with the consumption, and the total was slowly decreasing.
His health was the same; although the Holy Healing Ring provided continuous recovery, the health loss from the Curse Domain was too severe.
220,000... 210,000... 200,000... 190,000...
He was losing ten thousand health every ten minutes.
He could last for three hours!
But the Void King Beast couldn't hold out any longer.
Its health had already dropped to... 500,000!
"Roar... Human... What kind of... monster... are you anyway..."
The Void King Beast's voice grew weak.
Three of its bone spikes had been broken by Lin Feng.
The remaining three were also covered in cracks, liable to break at any moment.
"I'm your grandfather!"
Lin Feng retorted, his hands never stopping.
He fired a few more Light-Thunder Arrows.
Crack!
The fourth bone spike broke!
The Void King Beast let out a shrill scream.
Its aura plummeted once again.
Its maximum health... began to decrease!
2 million... 1.9 million... 1.8 million...
As the bone spikes broke, its life capacity was also disintegrating!
"Keep it up, continue!"
Lin Feng grew excited.
He began to concentrate his fire, attacking the remaining two bone spikes.
The Void King Beast tried desperately to protect its back, but Lin Feng's attacks were too tricky.
From every angle and using every kind of skill, he always managed to find a gap to land a hit.
Crack!
The fifth bone spike broke!
Its maximum health dropped to 1.6 million.
Its actual health now had 300,000 remaining.
But with the maximum now only 1.6 million, that translated to roughly 18.75% remaining.
"The last one!"
Lin Feng's eyes were bloodshot as his hands frantically formed hand seals.
"All Skills—Fusion: Final Judgment!"
He infused tens of thousands of mana all at once!
This was the maximum energy he could mobilize!
Between his palms, ten-colored lights frantically intertwined, collided, and fused!
Light, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Thunder, Ice, Darkness... as well as the Earth Power he had realized from the essence blood and the Chaos Power he had comprehended from the tower soul...
The ten powers condensed into a fist-sized Chaos-colored sphere of light.
The surface of the sphere was calm, but inside, it seemed as if Universes were being born and destroyed.
"Go!"
Lin Feng used all his strength to hurl the light sphere at the last bone spike.
The light sphere tore through the darkness, trailing a magnificent wake.
The Void King Beast let out a roar of despair.
It wanted to dodge, but its body was too large; it simply couldn't get out of the way.
The light sphere accurately struck the base of the final bone spike.
And then—
Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Immediately following.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An indescribable explosion.
It wasn't firelight, nor was it lightning; it was pure, blindingly intense white light.
The white light swallowed everything.
The Void King Beast's massive body was torn apart, decomposed, and vaporized like paper in the white light.
Those hard bone plates, those terrifying bone spikes, those hideous sharp teeth...
All turned to dust.
The shockwave spread frantically in all directions.
It overturned all the rocks and trees within a hundred meters.
Lin Feng was blown away by the shockwave, somersaulting a dozen times in the air before slamming heavily into the mountainside.
"Cough, cough..."
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up.
He looked toward the center of the explosion.
There, a massive crater a hundred meters in diameter and thirty meters deep had appeared.
The rocks at the bottom of the crater had melted, turning into scalding vitreous material.
In the center of the crater, only a pile of shattered remains was left.
And... a mass of pulsating, dark purple light.
[Killed Void King Beast: Fallen Form, Experience Points +800,000]
[Rank Up! Rank 17!]
[Rank Up! Rank 18!]
[Rank Up! Rank 19!]
Three consecutive streaks of golden light enveloped him!
A warm current surged frantically into his body!
[All Attributes +3×3=9, Free Attribute Points +20×3=60]
Without a second thought, Lin Feng put them all into spirit.
[spirit: 729]
[Magic Attack: 3645]
[mana: 7,290 (Base) + 207,000 (tower soul Bonus) = 214,290]
"Rank 19..."
Lin Feng slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.
Tired.
So tired.
This battle had lasted for over an hour.
He had nearly exhausted all his mana and used up all his trump cards.
But it was worth it!
Not only did he kill the Void King Beast, but he also leveled up three Ranks in a row!
"Right... the pet egg!"
Lin Feng suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip.
He struggled to his feet and stumbled toward that clump of dark purple light.
Was that... Life Essence left behind after the Void King Beast died?
Getting closer, he saw a pulsating dark purple light orb about half a meter in diameter.
Inside the light orb, blood was flowing, energy was circulating, and... life was being nurtured?
[Void King Beast Life Essence (S-Rank)]
[Quality: Gold (Pseudo)]
[Uses: Pet Hatching, Physique Tempering, Life Energy Replenishment]
[Effect: Contains the purest life energy of a King-level Void Beast]
[Description: A supreme treasure that appears with an extremely low probability after killing a Void King Beast; it can restore the life Origin of any creature.]
"This is it!"
Trembling, Lin Feng took out the S-Rank pet egg from his wanxiang ring.
Dark gold shell, starlight-like specks of light, a faint heartbeat...
At this moment, the specks of light on the shell began to flash frantically!
It sensed the presence of the Life Essence!
"Quick! Absorb it!"
Lin Feng carefully placed the pet egg into the dark purple light orb.
Buzz—
The moment they touched, the pet egg erupted with a blinding dark gold light!
The Life Essence, as if finding an outlet, surged frantically into the egg!
The specks of light on the shell lit up one by one, like stars being ignited in the night sky.
The heartbeat grew stronger and stronger.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
From faint to clear, and then to powerful.
It was as if a brand-new life was awakening inside the egg.
Lin Feng stared fixedly at the pet egg, his palms sweating from tension.
"It must succeed... It must succeed..."
He muttered to himself.
The Life Essence was constantly shrinking.
From half a meter in diameter to forty centimeters, thirty centimeters, twenty centimeters...
The light from the pet egg grew brighter and brighter.
Fine, dense patterns began to emerge on the surface of the eggshell.
These patterns were like blood vessels, like meridians, like some kind of ancient runes.
They flowed slowly, as if constructing something.
Finally—
When the last wisp of Life Essence was absorbed into the egg.
The dark gold light of the pet egg surged to its limit!
Then, it slowly receded.
The specks of light on the shell all lit up, forming a complex constellation pattern.
The heartbeat inside the egg was steady and powerful.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
Like an engine that never stops.
[pet egg Status: life Origin Restored]
[Hatching Progress: 1%]
[Estimated Hatching Time: 7 Days]
[Description: The life inside the egg is absorbing energy to complete its final gestation. Please wait patiently.]
"Still seven more days..."
Lin Feng was a bit disappointed, but he soon cheered up.
At least, it was a success!
The life Origin has been restored!
Now he just had to wait seven days to hatch a real S-Rank pet!
"This trip wasn't in vain."
Lin Feng carefully put the pet egg back into his wanxiang ring, placing it alone in the safest spot.
Then, he looked at the pile of Void King Beast remains at the bottom of the pit.
Master said that every part of a Void Beast is a treasure.
This King-level Void King Beast is truly a treasure among treasures!
"Let's get to work!"
Lin Feng rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up the battlefield.
First were those broken bone spikes.
Although broken, they were still Materials from a King-level monster.
[void bone spikes (Purple Materials) x5]
[Quality: Purple]
[Uses: Weapon Forging]
[Effect: Forged weapons carry the "Void Tear" effect (chance to tear through space upon attacking, dealing extra damage)]
Next were those shattered bone armor fragments.
[void bone armor fragments (Blue Materials) x23]
[Quality: Blue]
[Uses: Armor Forging]
[Effect: Forged armor provides defense power +15% and grants "Void Resistance +10%"]
Then were the sharp teeth from its three-lobed mouth.
[void fangss (Purple Materials) x12]
[Quality: Purple]
[Uses: Special Item Crafting]
[Effect: Can be crafted into armor-piercing arrows or hidden weapons with astonishing power]
Finally, the most precious thing—the Void King Beast's essence blood!
Lin Feng took out an Automatic Essence Blood Collection Device and inserted it into the deepest part of the remains.
Buzz buzz—
The device began to work.
Dark purple blood was drawn out like a stream, flowing into the storage tank.
It took a full five minutes to finish drawing it all.
[Obtained: void king beast essence blood (A-Rank) x50 Units]
[Quality: Purple]
[Uses: Physique Tempering, Potion Refining]
[Effect: After tempering, permanently increases All Attributes +5, Dark Element Affinity +10%, and grants "Void Resistance +20%"]
"Fifty units! A-Rank!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
This was more than the Scorpion King Essence Blood and Demon Snake Essence Blood he had obtained before combined!
Even though the quality was only A-Rank, the quantity was massive!
And the effect was All Attributes +5 and Dark Element Affinity +10%!
"I'll let Master take a look when I get back and see if they can be fused into a higher quality."
Lin Feng carefully stowed away the essence blood.
He checked the battlefield once more to ensure nothing was missed.
Then, he stood up and brushed the dirt off himself.
He looked out of the pit.
It was already dark.
The starry sky was brilliant, with the Milky Way stretching across the heavens.
In the distance, the silhouette of Mount Dashu loomed in the night.
"Time to go back."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling much more relaxed.
This battle, though perilous, had been very rewarding.
His Rank had risen to Rank 19, just one step away from Rank 20.
The pet egg's life Origin was restored, and it would hatch in seven days.
He had also obtained a large amount of Void Materials and fifty units of A-Rank essence blood.
"Right, I also need to report this to the Explorer Association."
Lin Feng remembered that a King-level Void King Beast appearing on Mount Dashu was a major event.
He had to tell the association so they could strengthen their defenses.
If another one of these things came out and hurt ordinary people, it would be trouble.
He turned, preparing to leave.
But just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped.
He looked back at the massive pit.
At the bottom, the remains were still faintly glowing.
As if they were telling a story.
"In your next life, don't be used by bad people again."
Lin Feng said softly.
Then, he unfolded his holy light wing cloak, turning into a streak of golden light as he flew down the mountain.
The night wind blew by, carrying away the scent of blood.
Mount Dashu returned to silence.
Only the hundred-meter-wide crater remained as a witness to the earth-shaking battle that had just occurred.
...
An hour later.
Lin Feng returned to his apartment.
He took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
Lying in bed, he couldn't fall asleep.
His mind was filled with images from today.
The terror of the Void King Beast, the intensity of the battle, the light when the pet egg absorbed the Life Essence...
And finally, the words the Void King Beast said before it died.
"Human... what... kind of monster... are you..."
Lin Feng smiled.
"I'm not a monster."
"I'm just... someone who wants to become stronger."
He rolled over and closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness.
The golden tower soul floated quietly, and a few more runes on its surface lit up.
Having devoured part of the Void King Beast's energy, it seemed to have grown a little bit more.
[golden tower soul Growth Progress: 15/100]
[Max HP +250,000]
[Max mana +250,000]
[New Effect: Void Resistance (Passive), reduces Void attribute damage taken by 30%]
"It went up again!"
Lin Feng discovered with pleasant surprise.
The Max HP and mana limits had risen from 220,000 to 250,000!
He even gained Void Resistance!
His survivability would be greatly increased when facing Void creatures in the future!
"This tower soul... is truly a treasure."
Lin Feng felt delighted.
He circulated the Solar Saint Body Tempering Method and began to consolidate today's gains.
Inside his body, the energy from the essence blood tempering was still flowing slowly.
With every cycle, his Physique strengthened by a sliver.
Though small, over time, it would eventually lead to a qualitative change.
Outside the window, the moonlight was like water.
The youth sat cross-legged on the bed, his entire body emitting a faint golden light.
Like a cocoon... undergoing a transformation.
...
Meanwhile.
West District of Donghai City, Zhou Family Manor.
In Zhou Tianhao's study, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.
"What? You can't contact any of the people sent out?"
Zhou Tianhao's face turned ashen as he roared at the butler.
The butler lowered his head, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Young Master... the latest news is that the group sent to Mount Dashu... are all dead."
"All dead?!"
Zhou Tianhao's eyes widened.
"How did they die? Were they discovered by the Explorer Association?"
"No..." The butler swallowed hard, "They were... eaten by the Void Beast they summoned themselves."
"What?!"
Zhou Tianhao was stunned.
"How was that damned beast handled??"
"Someone... killed that Void Beast." The butler's voice grew softer, "According to the analysis of the residual energy at the scene, after undergoing a baptism, that Void Beast became... at least a Rank 30 King-level. Furthermore, the Void Beast's corpse was found not far from the laboratory..."
The study fell into a deathly silence.
Zhou Tianhao looked as if someone was choking him, unable to speak.
A Rank 30 King-level Void Beast...
Was killed by an unknown person?
How was this possible?!
"Are... are you sure there's no mistake?"
"Absolutely certain." The butler tremblingly handed over a report, "News from the Explorer Association says there were massive energy fluctuations at Mount Dashu. They sent people to investigate and found the battle site."
"A crater a hundred meters in diameter and a large amount of Void King Beast remains."
"There were signs of an intense struggle... it seems a Genius with an All-around Magic Talent killed that Void Beast alone..."
Zhou Tianhao slumped into his chair, his face pale.
He suddenly realized that he might... be in some trouble.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" the butler asked cautiously.
Zhou Tianhao remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words.
"For now... let's keep a low profile."
...
At the same time.
Capital Academy, girls' dormitory.
Chen Lin had just finished a day of training and was lying exhausted on her bed.
She took out her phone and saw the message from Lin Feng.
[Lin Feng: Just got out, all is well. Congratulations on your Breakthrough.]
The corners of Chen Lin's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
She quickly typed a reply.
[Chen Lin: You too! I'm nearly Rank 20, and my mentor says I'm the fastest-improving student in this class!]
[Chen Lin: What about you? How was the Secret Realm? Did you get hurt?]
She waited for a few minutes, but there was no reply.
"He's probably busy..."
Chen Lin muttered, placing her phone by her pillow.
She closed her eyes, and Lin Feng's face appeared in her mind.
The boy who had grown up with her and always protected her.
Even though they were now in different places, she believed that one day, they would fight side by side again.
"Lin Feng, wait for me."
She said softly.
Then, she fell into a deep sleep.
...
Early the next morning.
When Lin Feng woke up, he felt refreshed.
He checked his status.
[Rank: 19]
[Physique: 184 (+9)]
[spirit: 738 (+9)]
[HP: 1,840 (Base) + 250,000 (tower soul) = 251,840]
[mana: 7,380 (Base) + 242,620 (tower soul) = 250,000]
[Earth Element Affinity: 96%]
[Gravity Comprehension: 0.2%]
"Today I'll process these Materials first."
Lin Feng planned.
The void bone spikes, bone armor, and fangs could be fused into equipment.
He could ask Master how to use the void king beast essence blood.
And that pet egg would hatch in seven days, so he needed to prepare in advance.
As he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Pan Jingjing calling.
"Boss! When are you coming to the shop?"
On the other end of the line, Pan Jingjing's voice was full of energy.
"We already cleaned the shop spotlessly yesterday!"
"We're just waiting for you to come and stock the new goods for the opening!"
Lin Feng laughed.
"Alright, I'll head over today."
"By the way... I'll bring some good stuff for you guys."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Feng got up to wash.
Today was a good day.
New shop opening, a new life beginning.
And he was ready to face all challenges.
