185: Star Blood

Spatial displacement.

When Wang Chen regained his vision, he discovered he had arrived in a vast treasure vault.

The spiritual light that met his eyes almost blinded him.

This treasure vault was filled with dozens of intersecting storage racks, each holding items radiating intense magical fluctuations.

Magical Materials, equipment, skill books, Genius treasures...

It could be said that everything one could desire was here.

"Is this the collection of an Eighth Rank powerhouse?"

"It's simply too vast!"

With great difficulty, Wang Chen tore his gaze away from those glowing items; tears of poverty almost flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He had previously been smug about his own net worth, but now, compared to Lin Feng, it was the difference between the richest person and a beggar.

Any single item here, if taken out, would probably equal his entire net worth.

For example...

At this moment, on the storage rack to his left, sat a crystal the size of an adult man's fist, emitting a faint red glow.

Within this crystal surged vast fire-attribute magical power; under Wang Chen's careful perception, he couldn't even fathom its limits.

Needless to say, this was definitely a magic crystal from a fire-attribute transcendent creature, whose level in life was at least equivalent to a Seventh Rank professional.

After all, the aura emitted by this magic crystal alone made Wang Chen feel somewhat breathless.

A magic crystal like this could not be measured by gold coins; even a hundred thousand or a million Holy Quartzs would probably only be enough to buy its scraps.

And there was more...

On the shelf below the magic crystal, inside a box, lay a longsword shimmering with flowing light, radiating an extremely intense fluctuation.

Wang Chen only stared at it for a few moments before his eyes were stung by a scorching aura.

Blazing Sun level equipment!

This was definitely Blazing Sun level equipment!

Even without seeing the attributes of this equipment, Wang Chen was absolutely certain.

Only equipment of this Rank would have such a terrifying presence.

For a moment, having suffered, Wang Chen quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look around recklessly.

"Hahaha!"

"Are you intimidated by your Master's collection?"

"Don't stare at these anymore; even if I gave them to you now, you wouldn't be able to use them!"

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Lin Feng chuckled, his tone quite proud.

These were all the assets he had accumulated after fighting countless times on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Their combined value surpassed the national treasuries of some small countries on Blue Star.

"Follow me."

Greeting Wang Chen, Lin Feng strode toward the interior of the treasure vault.

Soon, he stopped in front of a storage rack.

On this storage rack were dozens of incredibly precious magical Materials, each radiating impressive fluctuations.

"You kid are about to reach the Third Rank; this is the time to lay a good foundation."

Lin Feng muttered to himself, then reached out and picked up a Dragon-shaped fruit from the storage rack.

"This is a Dragon Fruit!"

"It is one of the most effective Materials for professionals about to reach the Third Rank."

As he spoke, he casually handed the Dragon Fruit to Wang Chen.

"Thank you, Master!"

Just by smelling the fragrance emitted by the Dragon Fruit, Wang Chen felt refreshed. Knowing this was a rare and valuable treasure, he quickly thanked him.

Then, he looked at Lin Feng with eager eyes.

Zheng Mo had previously said that before a professional enters the Third Rank, they can consume three types of magical Materials to strengthen their body.

Right now, he was still missing one.

"Master..."

Wang Chen opened his mouth, saying somewhat embarrassedly.

"Enough!"

"I've already prepared it for you!"

Lin Feng glared at Wang Chen, waving his hand to cut off his next words.

"Regarding the last type of material for you to consume, I have prepared two options."

"One is Heavenly Heart Grass."

"The other is Star Blood."

Looking at Wang Chen, Lin Feng asked with interest: "Which one do you intend to choose?"

"Huh?"

Wang Chen scratched his head upon hearing this. Why did all these Eighth Rank powerhouses like to make people choose?

Muttering in his heart, he thought for a moment and then asked: "Master, which of these two is stronger?"

"Naturally, it's the Star Blood!"

"The effect of the Heavenly Heart Grass is the same as the Dragon Fruit."

"However, the effect of this Star Blood is somewhat tyrannical; consuming it is not only extremely painful, but it also carries considerable risk."

Lin Feng said, looking at Wang Chen with a serious gaze.

"If you consume the Star Blood and fail to withstand the impact of the star will within it, your Mental attributes will be permanently halved."

"Of course, if you survive it, the boost you receive will be double that of the Heavenly Heart Grass!"

"Then this Disciple chooses the Star Blood!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen said without hesitation.

Given the chance to become stronger, he naturally wouldn't let it pass.

As for the impact of the star will?

Wang Chen had confidence in himself.

"Good!"

Seeing that Wang Chen had made his choice without hesitation, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.

Then, he turned around and continued to lead the way.

Soon, the two arrived at the depths of the treasure vault.

The storage racks placed here were completely different from what they had seen before; their surfaces were engraved with unknown magic runes, emitting an eerie luster.

It seemed... to have some kind of suppression effect.

Moreover, the items placed on each storage rack were extremely few, with more having three or four types, and fewer having only one.

After arriving here, Lin Feng brought Wang Chen to a storage rack where a single item was placed.

On this storage rack, only a single drop of liquid emitting a profound luster was floating about.

It was only the size of a fingertip, yet it inexplicably gave Wang Chen a feeling heavier than a mountain.

"Is this the Star Blood?"

Looking at the liquid, strong curiosity appeared in Wang Chen's eyes.

The name sounded incredibly cool and edgy, and consuming it would bring the impact of a star will; could it really be blood that flowed from a star?

But... how could a star possess blood?

Thinking curiously in his heart, Wang Chen's gaze fell upon his Master, Lin Feng.

"Why hold back if you want to know? This is indeed blood that flowed from a star."

"However, this star is somewhat different from what you recognize; it is not one of those stars hanging in the sky, but a star that has taken human form."

Lin Feng's explanation was a bit convoluted, but Wang Chen understood it immediately.

For a moment, looking at that drop of Star Blood, Wang Chen's heart was in turmoil.

Good heavens!

A star that has taken human form—its strength must be beyond imagination!

How strong must his Master be to have obtained its blood?

"Don't think of me as too mystical!"

Seemingly sensing what Wang Chen was thinking, Lin Feng shook his head and said: "A star capable of taking human form is no different from a deity; it is not something a small Eighth Rank like me can deal with."

"This Star Blood is something I was lucky enough to pick up on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield."

As he spoke, Lin Feng waved his hand, grabbed the Star Blood from the storage rack, and handed it to Wang Chen.
