210: Chapter 210 Fiery Sun Guardian

The immense joy caused a surge of heroic pride within him.

He looked at Lin Feng, who was standing to the side, equally shocked by Lin Yin's transformation and with eyes full of Battle Intent, and gave a grand wave of his hand.

"Don't be in a hurry, Lin Feng; there's a share for you too!"

He immediately opened the System and used the remaining 4,550 points to first exchange for a Law of Gold crystal fragment worth 800 points.

He similarly used the divine mirror of replication to copy it. The mirror surface displayed: [Replication Requirement: 40 advanced spirit crystals].

"Forty advanced spirit crystals..."

Lin Tian paid the spirit crystals and obtained the duplicate, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

"It seems this treasure list is encouraging 'wholesale' purchases. Replicating a complete crystal costs 100 advanced spirit crystals, but a fragment only costs 40. Three for a pound, five for two? Interesting."

This gave him some vague guesses about the Heavenly Dao System's "promotional strategy."

Next, he performed a Fusion Evolution between this Law of Gold crystal fragment and Lin Feng.

The Fusion process was likewise accompanied by an incomparably sharp golden radiance, but its scale and duration were clearly inferior to Lin Yin's transformation.

After completion, Lin Feng's aura became more condensed and fierce, the dark gold hue on his armor deepened, and a faint sharpness seemed to flow across it.

Inspection result: [Crimson Sun Divine Envoy - Lin Feng]

[Quality]: Legendary Advanced

[Growth Potential]: Saint-Grade 9-Star

[New Skill]:

Law of Gold Application: Preliminary contact with the Law of Gold (Sharpness, Durability, Armor-Piercing, Dominion). Can slightly strengthen the attack power, defense, and weapon sharpness of self and subordinate soldiers. Resistance to 'Gold' attribute energy attacks is increased.

[Description]: A divine general who has fused with a Law of Gold fragment and stepped onto the path of Laws; his Crimson Sun Battle Intent possesses an even sharper edge.

"As expected, a fragment can only raise him to Legendary Advanced, with potential reaching Saint-Grade Peak, and the skill is only at the 'Application' level." Lin Tian verified his hypothesis, but he wasn't discouraged at all; instead, he became even more excited.

Without hesitation, he spent another 1,600 points to exchange for a complete Law of Gold crystal and replicated it.

"Again! Fusion Evolution, targets—Law of Gold crystal and Crimson Sun Divine Envoy Lin Feng!"

An even more brilliant golden divine light, seemingly capable of piercing through all obstacles, erupted! This time, the majesty directly rivaled Lin Yin's previous transformation!

The light dissipated, and Lin Feng stood tall and imposing. His dark gold armor seemed to have been reforged, flowing with a tangible sharp golden glow. The crimson gold coiling dragon spear in his hand hummed low, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of destruction. Standing there, he was like a divine weapon that would drink blood the moment it was unsheathed, or like an Incarnation of an ancient deity ruling over metal and war.

[Blazing Sun Divine Guard - Lin Feng]

[Quality]: Mythical Intermediate

[Growth Potential]: Divine-Grade 9-Star

[New Skill]:

Law of Gold Mastery: Complete mastery over the Law of Gold. Can invoke the power of the Law of 'Gold' over a vast range and with high intensity. Greatly strengthens the offense and defense of self and legion, granting weapons temporary Law characteristics such as 'Law-Breaking,' 'Sharpness,' and 'Immortality.' Possesses absolute dominion over metallic creations and energy.

[Description]: A god of war bearing the complete Law of Gold. Wherever the Blazing Sun points, nothing is indestructible, and all weapons bow in submission.

"Good! Good! Good!" Lin Tian said 'good' three times in a row, the delight in his heart beyond words. Lin Feng had also successfully stepped into the Mythical realm and mastered the complete Law of Gold!

One for close combat and one for range, one of the moon and one of the sun, one of wood and one of gold—his two most capable generals had now both undergone a complete transformation with infinite potential!

Looking at the remaining 2,150 points, Lin Tian kept up the momentum and exchanged for two more Law crystal fragments, one Earth attribute and one Fire attribute.

At this point, his point balance was down to only 550.

"Whew..."

Only after finishing all this did Lin Tian let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the heavily shrunken numbers on the panel.

He then looked at Lin Yin and Lin Feng beside him, whose temperaments were now completely different and who radiated a faint Divine Might, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Over six thousand points... gone in the blink of an eye."

He shook his head and laughed at himself mockingly.

"The speed of spending money is truly faster than burning it... no, it's simply like opening the floodgates."

But seeing the increasingly firm loyalty and stronger self-confidence in the eyes of the two Mythical generals, and feeling the Law fluctuations on them that faintly stirred the energy of heaven and earth...

Lin Tian felt that letting this "water" flow was worth it! Extremely worth it!

Points could be earned again, but such a qualitative leap in the strength of his core forces was something that could be sought but not easily found.

With Lin Yin and Lin Feng standing guard,

Whether it was dealing with the possible retaliation from the Minotaur Kingdom, exploring the secrets of the contaminated alternate dimension, or even the future collision with that mysterious 'Karl,' he now had several more layers of tangible confidence.

Nightfall, like a reserved dancer, slowly pulled shut the dark blue velvet curtain, gently gathering up the last ray of daylight.

Inside and outside Lintian City, the lights and the campfires of the military camp lit up one after another, outlining the undulating contours of the city and the barracks, appearing exceptionally warm and solid in the thickening night.

After handling the Fusion Evolution of Lin Yin and Lin Feng and properly putting away the newly exchanged Earth and Fire Law crystal fragments,

Lin Tian stood on the highest terrace of the Lords Mansion, feeling the cool evening breeze, the accounts in his mind perfectly clear.

"Points are still not enough..."

He sighed softly. Of the Five Elements Law crystals, he had only exchanged for the complete Wood and Gold ones; Earth and Fire were still just fragments, and he hadn't even touched the Water attribute yet.

To gather a full set and upgrade his entire core team, the gap was enormous.

However, a meal must be eaten bite by bite, and a path must be walked step by step.

He immediately issued an instruction through the mental link:

"Lin Feng, Lin Yin, both of you go to the alternate dimension entrance now and relieve Lin Yan, Commander Lin Yu, and Lin Yan. Tell them there's 'good news' here and to return quickly."

He intended to use the Earth and Fire Law crystal fragments currently in his hand to first give these three generals, who were the first to follow him, a Fusion upgrade.

Even mosquito legs are meat; any bit of strength gained is an improvement.

As for the complete Five Elements crystals, he would have to wait until tomorrow to continue his "hard labor," striving to clear that long list and save up more points.

"Yes!" Lin Yin and Lin Feng responded in unison, their voices carrying the steadiness and a hint of restrained Divine Might following their Fusion.

The two bowed to Lin Tian and turned to leave, their figures soon disappearing into the night toward the direction of the teleportation array.

Tranquility returned to the terrace.

Lin Tian did not return to his room. He simply stood with his hands behind his back, leaning against the white marble railing, gazing at the faint light in the distance where the alternate dimension passage was, waiting silently.

The evening breeze brushed against his face, bringing the scent of soil from distant farmlands and the faint clamor of the military camp.

His thoughts drifted, thinking of today's massive gains and the astonishing effects of the divine mirror of replication.

He thought of the power of Lin Yin and Lin Feng after their transformation, and also of the shadow named 'Karl' hidden behind Mo Yu, as well as the unsettling connection between him and the 'contamination.'

"Karl... collecting Territory Cores... contamination..."

He whispered these keywords, his brow furrowing slightly. These waters were getting deeper and deeper.

Just as his thoughts drifted while he quietly waited for the return of Lin Yan and the other two...
