68: Chapter 68 Innate Divine Strength, Martial Saint, Twin Contract

"Thank goodness, they all returned."

Watching his three roommates return safely, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

If his reckless actions had wiped out all three of his roommates, he would probably have had a mental breakdown.

At this moment, among the three returned roommates, Wang Hao was the first to sit up from his bed, his eyes wide open, his face full of excitement.

Someone who did not know better would think he had won the lottery for millions.

However, the probability of something like Transmigration did not seem much higher than winning the lottery.

Wang Hao was just about to shout "holy crap," but suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at the other beds.

At this moment, Cheng Yuan also sat up, his expression similar to his, his mouth half-open, eyes shining.

Zhu Ming was relatively better; there was not much expression on his face, and he looked calmer than the other two, but the shock in his eyes could not be hidden.

The three of them looked at each other, then said in unison: "You went in too?"

Well, it was confirmed; they had all entered that Martial Domain game.

Then they all looked at Lin Ye in unison, their eyes clearly asking: Did you go in too?

Seeing this, Lin Ye had to nod.

He could not exactly say, "You were only able to get in because of me," could he?

Although, once they opened the prestige shop in the future and saw that player recruitment token, they would probably be able to guess a few things.

But by then, the whole world would probably know about Martial Domain, so it would not matter whether it was exposed or not.

"Holy crap, this is insane! Could we be the legendary Chosen Ones?"

Wang Hao jumped straight off his bed, pacing back and forth on the floor barefoot, as excited as a monkey.

Cheng Yuan kept muttering: "This is not a dream, it is not a dream. I really entered the game, and I even had an Awakening..."

Even the usually steady Zhu Ming got out of bed and sat down on a chair, his expression somewhat dazed, clearly still digesting the fact that he had inexplicably transmigrated into a game world.

Just then, Wang Hao suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously to everyone: "Do you know what level of Life-Bound Weapon and talent I had an Awakening for?"

It was clear that Wang Hao was very satisfied with the Life-Bound Weapon and talent he had obtained through Awakening.

Lin Ye was a bit puzzled.

Could it be that the game did not notify players who entered using recruitment tokens that they were guaranteed an Epic grade?

However, looking at Wang Hao's excitement, it seemed he really did not know about that; he probably just thought he was lucky.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye asked curiously: "What did you get from your Awakening?"

Seeing someone play along, Wang Hao immediately put his hands on his hips: "Haha, listen up! I had an Awakening for an Epic three-star Life-Bound Weapon, the Zhangba Snake Spear!"

"Not only that..."

"I also had an Awakening for a Legendary talent, Natural Divine Strength! It directly increased my Physical Body strength by ten times. Do you understand what ten times means? I feel like I could kill a cow with one punch right now!"

He said this while standing up and assuming a horse stance, showing off his biceps to everyone: "How about that? Think your buddy is cool or what?"

Cheng Yuan, who was on the side, sneered, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs: "You call that style! I also had an Awakening for an Epic three-star Life-Bound Weapon plus a Legendary talent."

"But what I had an Awakening for is Lord Guan's Azure Dragon Crescent Blade! Third Brother, why don't you come over and pay your respects to Second Brother!"

He said this while stroking his non-existent beard.

Wang Hao's expression froze: "Wait, are you for real?"

"Of course it is real!" Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes.

"And the talent I had an Awakening for is Martial Saint. How about that? Does the name not sound more high-end than your Natural Divine Strength?"

"Martial Saint? What effect does it have? Is it cooler than my ten times strength?"

"The effect is very simple: I can learn any Cultivation Technique instantly, and I can force a Cultivation Technique to a higher Realm!"

"How about that? Is it not more badass than your brute talent!"

"Your talent is just average." Wang Hao was very unconvinced.

As someone who always chose brute-force heroes when playing games, he clearly would not allow anyone to belittle his Natural Divine Strength.

During this time, Zhu Ming had not spoken, but the expression on his face was a bit strange.

Lin Ye noticed this and asked with a smile: "Old Zhu, what about you? What did you get from your Awakening?"

Zhu Ming looked at Wang Hao and Cheng Yuan, hesitated slightly, and said: "Uh, I am about the same as them. I also got an Epic three-star Life-Bound Weapon and a Legendary talent."

"What is it specifically called?" Seeing that Zhu Ming stopped talking, the impatient Wang Hao could not help but press him.

"Well... the Life-Bound Weapon is the Dual-Blade Swords, and the talent is the Dual-Life Contract. It anchors a resurrection point, allowing for resurrection in the future, and I can sign contracts with other players to give them resurrection abilities too. It is just that the cooldown is a bit long; I can only resurrect once a month."

When he finished speaking, the dormitory was silent for a moment.

"Holy crap!" Wang Hao was the first to shout, "A resurrection-type talent? And it is group resurrection?!"

Cheng Yuan also leaned in, looking at Zhu Ming eagerly: "Brother Zhu, this talent of yours is too Heaven-Defying. Hurry up and set one up for your brother; my sense of security is maxed out!"

Zhu Ming felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at and rubbed his nose: "It can only be signed in the game; it does not take effect in reality."

"Wait!" Wang Hao suddenly thought of something.

"The three of us—I had an Awakening for the Zhangba Snake Spear, Old Cheng had an Awakening for the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, and you had an Awakening for the Dual-Blade Swords. This is too much of a coincidence. Could the three of us be the Reincarnation of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang?"

Cheng Yuan rubbed his chin and nodded as if it were a serious matter: "Hmm, I think it is very possible."

When the topic reached this point, the three of them suddenly looked at Lin Ye in unison.

"Brother Ye, we have all said ours. What about you? What did you get from your Awakening?"

In fact, after hearing about the Life-Bound Weapons the three of them had obtained from their Awakening, Lin Ye himself felt it was a bit coincidental.

How could it be exactly those three Life-Bound Weapons?

Could there really be some Karma involved in this?

No!

They were able to get an Awakening for Epic-grade Life-Bound Weapons and Legendary-grade talents because he had given them the recruitment tokens.

Thinking about it, the issue must lie with the recruitment tokens.

Perhaps each recruitment token corresponds to the Life-Bound Weapon and talent of a certain historical figure.

Otherwise, there was simply no way to explain the current situation.

Watching the three of them cast curious gazes at him, Lin Ye curled the corner of his mouth, a bit of mischievous humor suddenly rising in his heart.

"That is too coincidental. The Life-Bound Weapon I had an Awakening for is the Painted Halberd. And it is a Legendary-grade Life-Bound Weapon; it looks like I am destined to be a cut above you all."

The three of them were stunned at the same time upon hearing this.

"The Painted Halberd? The one that specializes in stabbing foster fathers?"

Wang Hao's eyes widened.

"Are you for real? It is one thing that the three of us got an Awakening for Liu, Guan, and Zhang, but you just happened to get an Awakening for Lu Bu?"

Cheng Yuan expressed skepticism.

Zhu Ming did not speak, his eyes fixed on Lin Ye. Seeing the corner of his mouth curl up slightly, he immediately understood that Lin Ye was teasing them on purpose. He shook his head with a smile: "Alright, Brother Ye, stop teasing us. Seriously, what did you actually get from your Awakening?"

Seeing that he had not fooled them, Lin Ye had to tell the truth: "Alright, I did not get an Awakening for the Painted Halberd, but the ruyi jingu bang."

Who would have thought that upon hearing this, the three of them would all say "Tch" in unison.

Wang Hao even walked over and patted Lin Ye on the shoulder gently, with an "I understand you" expression on his face: "Brother Ye, if you do not want to say it, that is fine. Do not worry, we brothers will look out for you in the future."

Cheng Yuan also nodded: "That is right. There are no trash Life-Bound Weapons, only trash people. Besides, with us brothers around, how could we let you get bullied in the game?"

Zhu Ming also nodded in agreement.
