219: The night with three mysteries
At this time, it was March 27th.
Lin Shu had been in the Radiant Mist Land for four days.
Over these past few days, with only himself, and the experience of rapidly increasing proficiency, it wasn't too boring.
After all, this kind of life wasn't new to him.
Strolling along the foggy path, he observed the increasingly scarce traces of Beasts nearby.
Lin Shu sighed, "What's going on? Am I too diligent?"
In just a few days, the number of Beasts in this vast Otherworld had become precariously low.
It seemed it was time to change locations.
Lin Shu didn't have many options for this; there were plenty of Otherworld places with Beasts.
He then called out to Black Night Saturn Purple Eyes and Silver Spirit beside him.
"Let's go, we're changing places."
"We've emptied this place out."
A hint of regret appeared in everyone's eyes, as if to say, "This place really didn't last long."
It was also approaching evening, so not much time was wasted.
Over the past few days, his gains had also been enormous.
Watching Lin Shu's figure quickly depart.
Within the dense fog, several figures slowly emerged.
Clearly, they were the hidden sentinels arranged by the Spirit Domain to monitor Lin Shu.
Today, his behavior was a bit off.
Shouldn't he continue to search for and kill Beasts?
It wasn't even seven o'clock yet, why was he leaving?
The few people couldn't help but voice their thoughts.
"This Lin Shu is really idle."
"He doesn't seem to be looking for anything; I think he's just here to kill Beasts."
"Alright, why bother with these things? We just need to know his whereabouts."
Although their complaints were cut off in time, the two still kept thinking.
Lin Shu's strange behavior left them puzzled.
Shouldn't he have come to the Radiant Mist Land to search for Holy Spirit-type pets?
Yet, Lin Shu's actions throughout the day showed no such intention.
Instead, whenever he encountered a Beast he could kill, he would kill it, regardless of whether it posed a threat or how high its level was.
He welcomed all comers, sweeping them all away.
Could this be a unique hobby of his?
As a foreign power, they had seen such things quite often.
Someone like Lin Shu wasn't considered abnormal; he was truly a breath of fresh air.
But the higher-ups wanted to roughly understand Lin Shu's strength.
How could they gauge that?
With the highest-level Beast in the Radiant Mist Land being only level 50, that Black Mantis could be taken down with a single casual strike.
It was easier than slicing melons and dicing vegetables.
Not to mention Lin Shu, even their Beasts could achieve this level.
These things simply couldn't cause him any trouble.
They were helpless about this and could only report it as best they could, adding some of their own thoughts.
Otherwise, if they said they didn't know and couldn't even handle such a small matter, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
After lingering for a while and confirming that he had gone far, they no longer waited.
Following Lin Shu's footsteps, they also left the Radiant Mist Land.
Outside, they also had to monitor him slightly, though not as meticulously as in the Otherworld.
They also didn't dare to get too close, fearing they would be discovered... Upon returning to the hotel.
Lin Shu began to check his gains for the day.
The quantity should not be much, as almost half of the time was spent traveling.
Lin Shu was already mentally prepared for this.
(Proficiency: 982)
It didn't even break a thousand; this was the worst it had been in days, not even half of the average.
And the previous proficiency had already been used by Lin Shu.
It was used to enhance Black Night Saturn Purple Eyes and Silver Spirit.
Now, everyone's strength had improved significantly compared to a few days ago.
Black Night had already reached level 76, not far from level 80.
The improvement for Tǔ Yào Purple Eyes and the others was slightly less.
After all, the current proficiency was mostly used for Black Night.
Each of them only increased by one level: Tǔ Yào Purple Eyes 58, Ziyu 46, Silver Spirit 50.
Silver Spirit, due to the spiritual objects, materials, and food from the Land of Dragons, naturally increased by one level, which was why its improvement was slightly greater than the others.
Because today's harvest was small, it could only all be spent on Black Night.
Seeing Lin Shu's gaze frequently fall on Black Night, Ziyu and Silver Spirit understood that this time, they wouldn't get any stat points.
However, very few Beasts were killed today, so only he could be enhanced.
Black Night rightfully puffed out his chest, raising his hand, as if to say, "Don't overthink it, there's none for you."
Moreover, he was basically the one killing the Beasts, so this reward was reasonable.
Seeing this, Lin Shu no longer hesitated, spending 750 proficiency points to raise Black Night to level 77.
Immediately, there was a sudden surge of aura, stirring up a small commotion like a miniature storm.
The intense aura alone made Tǔ Yào Purple Eyes, Ziyu and Silver Spirit struggle to keep their eyes open, and they couldn't help but yearn for even greater strength.
But the changes at this moment were not over.
Black Night's originally black-gold, lustrous exterior was suddenly enveloped by layers of dense fog.
An extreme aura of darkness, accompanied by the mist, surged forth, spreading with astonishing speed. In just a moment, it had already enveloped the entire room.
Fortunately, it didn't continue to spread, otherwise, even the entire hotel might not have been spared.
Lin Shu remained very calm about the sudden dimming of his vision, because he had seen the panel and knew this was a good thing.
Because at this moment, Black Night had just comprehended the Darkness Mysteries.
This was due to the primary skill Shadow Ball reaching its instinctive level; at this very moment, in another room, Black Night and their mirror images were still diligently training.
Tǔ Yào Purple Eyes, Ziyu and Silver Spirit saw that their master had no reaction and made no moves, only carefully sensing the aura of the black mist, which was so pure and powerful.
It contained extreme darkness, intertwined with the Darkness Mysteries.
A moment later, the black mist gradually dispersed, completely absorbed by Black Night, indicating that he had fully mastered the Darkness Mysteries.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a mass of black shadow swirled within them before vanishing.
Black Night's eyes sparkled; this feeling was truly wonderful, he had become stronger again!
Energy surged incessantly throughout his body, like boiling water, continuously spreading outwards, and immense pressure permeated the spacious room.
Having comprehended two other Profound Truths, he naturally knew what had just happened, and he was already accustomed to such scenes.
Lin Shu nodded repeatedly at this scene; in terms of Profound Truth, Black Night's progress was unmatched.
This was not only reflected in his Beast but also far surpassed 99.99% of Beastmasters of the same age.
He then opened Black Night's panel and began to examine it.
It had been a long time since he had meticulously checked it.
[Name]: Dark Veil Hunter
[Level]: LV77 (1/770)
[Level Cap]: LV100+
[Status]: Healthy
[Quality]: Lord
[Attributes]: Dark / Space
[Talent]: Void Walk - Great Accomplishment (108/800)
[Skills]: Primary — Assault - Minute (21/200), Fast Movement - Minute (13/200), Heavy Strike - Minor Accomplishment (13/30), Sharp Blade (Passive) - Minute (66/200), Spinning Arm Slash - Minute (32/200), Space Storage - Great Accomplishment (16/40), Shadow Ball - Instinct (∞)
Intermediate — Dual Shadow Kill - Minor Accomplishment (16/60), Windbreak Blade - Great Accomplishment (21/80), Blade Qi Strike - Instinct (∞), Dark Restraint - Beginner (35/40), Space Chaotic Slash - Instinct (∞), Black Night's Protection, Beginner (32/80)
Advanced — Black Night Phantom - Minute (52/320), Dark Entanglement - Beginner (32/80), Advanced — Hidden Void Scar Blade - Minute (79/320), Space Distortion - Beginner (16/80)
Super-tier — Nights Return to Silence - Beginner (31/160)
[Profound Truth]: Golden Principle - (0.023%) — Profound Truth of Space - (0.021%) - Darkness Mysteries (0.005%)
Looking at such a luxurious panel, Lin Shu couldn't help but feel a little emotional; this undoubtedly surpassed other Beastmasters of the same age by several dimensions.
Even a Beast just entering the Spirit Origin Level would definitely not be much stronger than Black Night in terms of skill proficiency, and might even be slightly inferior to some.
And these several Profound Truths had all made some progress during this period, but the speed of progress was a bit slow.
This was unavoidable; without the help of stat points and high-tier spiritual objects, the improvement speed was just like this.
And now, Black Night's combat capabilities were naturally unfathomable.
He was far stronger than he was a few days ago in the Land of Inheritance.
He didn't know what Black Night's current limit was.
But it was clearly a performance far exceeding his level...
