211: Breaking news, two new special properties discovered!

Finally, they returned to Central State University just before midnight.

Tired from their journey, they didn't exchange many words and each went back to rest.

Time moved to noon the next day, which was March 22nd.

As soon as he woke up, Lin Shu left early and sold all three thousand Spirit Coins he had.

These items were indeed sought after; someone contacted him to buy them before he even returned.

It was none other than Mentor Yue Jiyun, with whom he had dealt several times. Lin Shu readily accepted and sold everything to her.

After all, she had shown him much care and help, so he didn't even consider raising the price, ultimately earning 1500 academic credits.

His academic credits had now surpassed the four-thousand mark, but while it seemed like a lot, it was still somewhat lacking.

Next, he had to plan for Night's evolution. The starting items required were all Spirit Origin-tier, and the academic credit prices for those far exceeded ordinary items.

The minimum was three hundred points, not to mention rare spatial attributes, which would only be more expensive.

So, the more academic credits, the better; he was still far from what he needed.

Returning to his villa, everyone was training in the equipment room as usual.

Lin Shu was accustomed to this. Lying on the sofa, his phone began to ring continuously.

It rang incessantly, like a song playing.

Unlike messages, these were real-time news push notifications from other apps.

Lin Shu casually took out his phone and opened it, intending to see what was happening.

And with one look, he was immediately captivated.

A look of surprise appeared on his face, and his previously reclined body instantly sat upright.

The headlines were extremely eye-catching; almost all authoritative news agencies reported on this matter.

“New Special Attributes! Changing the Landscape of Only Four Special Attributes!”

“Evil Spirit Type and Holy Spirit Type!”

“Discovered by Star Dome University Mentor Hu Haoliang After Five Years of Research!”

“Will the Emergence of These Two New Special Attributes Change the Current Beastmaster Ecosystem?”

“A Comprehensive Explanation and Analysis of Evil Spirit Type and Holy Spirit Type!”

The number of push notifications was astonishing, almost endless, wave after wave.

However, for a discovery and news of this magnitude, it was entirely justified and worth such a reaction.

One could imagine the storm these two new special attributes had stirred up in Daxia and even worldwide.

In the streets and alleys, many passersby and Beastmasters were also stopping in their tracks, looking at the news pushed to their phones with astonished expressions.

Lin Shu's eyes lit up as he read the detailed introductions.

Thoughts raced through his mind. He considered that Tuxiao's combat attribute should also be a type of special attribute; otherwise, it wouldn't be so powerful. It was just too rare, which was why it hadn't been discovered yet.

Currently, Daxia and even Blue Star's understanding of Beasts was still somewhat superficial.

Evidently, Daxia had been researching new attributes internally, but had not disclosed them immediately.

Star Dome University was also one of the five top universities, though its overall strength ranked at the bottom. Of course, this was only in terms of its combat aspects.

Its research and archaeology departments were undoubtedly the best in all of Daxia, which was evident from the discovery of the Evil Spirit Type and Holy Spirit Type alone.

After a brief distraction, Lin Shu clicked into the document for the comprehensive explanation and analysis.

He initially thought it would only be text, but to his surprise, there was also a video. Moreover, there were separately an Evil Spirit Type Beast and a Holy Spirit-type pet cooperating with the actions and demonstrations of the person in the video.

Seeing the other party wearing the Star Dome University emblem, he figured the video must have been prepared in advance.

It was clearly very thoughtful, allowing everyone to understand the characteristics of these two attributes more clearly.

“Everyone, please look at the two Beasts before me.”

“We have named them Ghost Face Doll and Pure Flower, respectively.”

In the video, the presenter gesticulated wildly as he explained. The camera gradually zoomed in, allowing everyone to see very clearly.

The Ghost Face Doll was small, like a child, but its body emanated a dark gray aura, and even its physical form was condensed from this aura.

While this energy was similar to the Dark Type, it was clearly not the same thing.

Its face was a large, twisted ghost mask, covered with strange black patterns. Its eyes were two deep black holes, and its overall aura gave off a bizarre and evil feeling.

The appellation “Evil Spirit Attribute” was indeed well-deserved.

Then, there was the Pure Flower, some distance away from it. They were quite far apart, seemingly due to a repulsion between their attributes and auras.

Its body radiated a sacred glow, and its overall form resembled a flower in full bloom, with delicate petals layered together.

It presented a pure white color, surrounded by a faint, almost imperceptible light screen, interspersed with white-gold light carrying a sacred aura, flickering continuously.

Lin Shu pondered this. The characteristics of these two attributes were particularly distinct; one could immediately differentiate them from other Beasts, and they perfectly matched their attribute names.

Looking at the information that appeared in the panel, sure enough, both the Evil Spirit Type and Holy Spirit Type were present.

Continuing to scroll down, Lin Shu was very curious about their specific abilities.

“After a brief introduction to everyone.”

“Let’s talk about the interesting things we discovered.”

“The Evil Spirit Type and Holy Spirit Type are mutually exclusive. This situation is extremely rare, the only instance of its kind.”

After saying this, the Ghost Face Doll and Pure Flower each released two skills, allowing everyone to more intuitively understand their effects.

The Evil Spirit Type energy was dark and cold, extremely powerful in terms of attack, and even came with various negative effects, such as twisted Mental state, fear, weakening, and other severe impacts.

The Holy Spirit Type, on the other hand, was the opposite extreme. Most of its skills were support skills, with very weak combat Talent. It was a type oriented towards healing and applying positive status effects.

However, this was only a superficial demonstration and did not fully disclose all of their abilities.

It was merely to allow everyone to gain a slight understanding of the information within.

After all skills were demonstrated, the video was nearing its end, and the final summary appeared on screen.

Evil Spirit skills were bizarre and insidious, often bloody and terrifying, but their power was among the top few of all attributes, and they also had the effect of influencing the Mental state. However, in terms of intensity, they were certainly not as good as the Mental Type, and they could even come with various negative effects, such as twisted Mental state, fear, weakening, and other severe impacts.

It was merely that the skills possessed such characteristics.

The Holy Spirit Type, however, was a radiant and sacred existence. Its skills were bright and transparent, carrying a holy aura. It was clearly not an attack-focused attribute, and its damage was quite ordinary.

Its combat Talent was very weak; it was a type oriented towards healing and applying positive status effects, and it could even resolve Mental problems.

Seeing this, Lin Shu's eyes lit up. This Holy Spirit-type pet was truly perfect for him. The effect of being able to heal both injuries and the Mental state was too powerful.

If only he could acquire one.

Compared to the Evil Spirit Type, the Holy Spirit Type would be more favored by Lin Shu.

After all, what he currently lacked least was offensive capability.

At the end of the video, it even mentioned the Otherworld locations where these two attribute Beasts were discovered.

They were in two different locations, two small Otherworlds, and the strength of the Beasts within was not too strong.

Their names were Radiant Mist Land and Shadow Grotto, respectively.

They were now officially open to the outside world.

However, they had naturally been largely scoured clean, though there might still be some overlooked things.

But these places were not accessible to everyone; they were only open to the five top universities and several specific universities in Zhongzhou.

Otherwise, if Beastmasters from all over the country came, these two places would be overwhelmed... This scene made Lin Shu's eyes grow even brighter. It was another Otherworld, and there was a chance to contract a Beast.

Such a good thing! He definitely had to go and check out the situation.

However, this Otherworld had clearly been researched for a long time, so he could only try his luck, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But there was no harm in taking a look; he could just treat it as a change of scenery to grind his proficiency.

Coincidentally, the level was also very suitable.

And just as Lin Shu decided to go.

Messages from Li Wen and Chu Yu arrived immediately.

Clearly, they were all young people and quick to surf the internet, so everyone had learned the news at the first opportunity.

They were eager to set off without delay.

“Lin Shu! Did you see the news?”

“We need to hurry and go!”

“Otherwise, if we're late, there'll be nothing left!”

His tone was very anxious, conveying a sense of urgency, as if if they didn't go now, they would miss out on something hot...
