53: Jiagu Yiyan's Enlightenment and Guang's Recognition

“Basic Breathing Technique proficiency +1”

Jia Gu Yi Yan sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, circulating the Basic Breathing Technique.

Besides being used in combat, the Basic Breathing Technique could also accelerate injury recovery in daily life.

However, the Summoner's mall also sold more suitable cultivation techniques for recovery.

The Mian Yu Technique.

Jia Gu Yi Yan currently had 82 Light Energy points remaining, which was enough to exchange for the Mian Yu Technique. However, there was no need to exchange for it until the Basic Breathing Technique reached its highest level.

The Basic Breathing Technique allowed the armor to enter a burning state; he wondered what state the Mian Yu Technique would make the armor enter.

Thinking about it, it shouldn't conflict with his Fire Finch's attributes, right?

After a morning of persistent breathing exercises, Jia Gu Yi Yan gained a total of 61 proficiency points.

He was one step closer to the third level of the Basic Breathing Technique, and his physical injuries had also improved.

Getting up from the bed, Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the table beside the bed, where a Light Armor figurine was placed.

“Light Armor…”

Looking at the Light Armor, Jia Gu Yi Yan couldn't help but think of the First Generation.

Who exactly was the First Generation? Was he also confused after obtaining the Summoner?

Before he obtained the Summoner, what kind of feelings did the First Generation have when transforming?

And what kind of resolve did he have when fighting?

Having been chosen by the Summoner and discovering his own aptitude, Jia Gu Yi Yan was initially smug.

But in this battle, innocent people were harmed because of him.

The powerful Monster race also set their sights on him.

He also realized the responsibility on his shoulders, the responsibility of someone chosen by the Summoner.

Although he understood this principle and responsibility from the beginning,

it was only when he truly fought against monsters and watched others being threatened because of him,

that Jia Gu Yi Yan truly experienced that responsibility firsthand.

You were chosen by the Summoner, you possess the aptitude for armor.

You are humanity's hope, humanity's fate rests on you.

You must liberate humanity from enslavement; only you possess the power to contend with monsters.

You must eradicate all monsters.

These emotions could be seen in the eyes of the other members of the Monster Countermeasures Squad.

The First Generation must have also understood these principles and his own responsibilities.

Then, he bore these burdens and fought against monsters until his death.

Until the very end, he passed down the Summoner, doing his utmost to make this faint Light in the darkness burn brighter, and then passed it into his hands.

Those cards were proof of the First Generation's efforts to ignite this faint Light.

As long as it is passed down, constantly injecting Light into this wisp of Light, it will surely allow this wisp of Light to become the sun that illuminates this dark world.

Jia Gu Yi Yan didn't know if he could ultimately make this wisp of Light become the sun in his hands.

But the original First Generation was already ahead of him, showing him what to do.

He had to give his all to make this hard-won Light, handed to him by the First Generation who burned his life, burn even brighter.

Even if he couldn't make the sun rise,

he had to pass the flame to the next fire-keeper, a fire-keeper who would treat monsters as firewood and the Summoner as a bonfire.

“Did the First Generation think of these things?”

Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the Light Armor figurine at this moment, as if seeing one fire-passing figure after another beside the figurine.

“Damn it, how can I think such nonsense!”

This bonfire will burn to its maximum in my hands, no passing on the flame!

That's too unlucky!

Jia Gu Yi Yan didn't feel that thinking about his own death was unlucky.

Instead, he felt that thinking about so many fire-passers behind him, generation after generation taking up the flame and treating themselves as firewood, was unlucky.

It was too tragic.

This story shouldn't be so tragic.

He himself could make this flame burn to the sky.

“Hmm?”

Inside the Summoner, Lin Ti, who was Melting monster cards, looked at the Light and fire before him.

This Light and fire were the core of Lin Ti's power, and also the core power of the two armors.

Just now, the flame seemed to burn a little more fiercely, and even the Light beside it became brighter.

Lin Ti opened the Summoner panel he created. The owner on the panel had changed from the First Generation, Cheng Yang, to the Second Generation, Jia Gu Yi Yan.

“Light Armor adaptability 43%”

“Fire Finch Armor adaptability 78%”

Both adaptabilities had increased.

Because Jia Gu Yi Yan was the Summoner recognized by Fire Finch, the Fire Finch Armor's adaptability could slowly increase with combat.

Jia Gu Yi Yan and Fire Finch would constantly resonate.

However, Light's adaptability would not increase.

When Cheng Yang fought until the end, and his adaptability reached 100%, Lin Ti's Light also became stronger and underwent some changes.

This change made the summoning difficulty of Light higher, and its power stronger.

After all, Light was a projection of Lin Ti's Light power. As Lin Ti's Light became stronger, Light also became stronger.

If it were the original Light, Jia Gu Yi Yan should also have had the ability to summon it.

But now, this changed, stronger Light was gradually recognizing Jia Gu Yi Yan.

“Is it ‘heart’?”

Lin Ti curiously cast his gaze outside.

He rarely paid attention to Summoners now. Looking at Jia Gu Yi Yan outside, he could feel his turbulent thoughts.

Cheng Yang's adaptability also experienced a rapid increase in the past.

This usually happened when there was a change in one's inner self, leading to certain realizations.

In the final battle, Cheng Yang even increased his armor adaptability to 100% in a short period.

At that time, although Lin Ti couldn't see or hear Cheng Yang's inner realizations and thoughts,

he could understand them through the rapid increase in armor adaptability.

That was a very heavy realization.

“…Why did you also develop such a realization?”

Lin Ti worked even harder, striving to analyze the database, create stronger cultivation techniques, and make stronger cards.

He didn't want what happened before to happen again.

Especially after Jia Gu Yi Yan developed that kind of realization.

At the same time, he couldn't help but start observing this current Summoner.

Jia Gu Yi Yan didn't know that he had already disturbed something unspeakable.

Nor did he notice the slightly brighter white-backed cards in the card holder.

He simply carelessly turned the Light Armor's front away and placed it in the corner.

“The center position is naturally for my Fire Finch!”

“Damn it, when will the Fire Finch figurine be sold?”

Wait a minute.

If a Fire Finch figurine is released, he should get a share of the licensing fee from the money earned!

As the successor of the First Generation, the licensing fee from the Light figurine should also be inherited by him.

They call it an authentic figurine, but the authorization isn't authentic at all.
