136: Soul Theory, Amethyst Behemoth
Li Feng arrived in front of the awakening fruit tree and gently picked all the awakening fruit.
He had no intention of uprooting the awakening fruit tree.
awakening fruit trees are difficult to transplant; most wither and die upon being dug out of the ground.
Of course, that wasn't the important point.
To say he had no thoughts about the awakening fruit tree at all would be self-deception.
But as soon as Li Feng approached the awakening fruit tree, a cold notification sound immediately rang in his ears.
As long as he had any intention of damaging the awakening fruit tree, the instance would expel him immediately.
The Awakening Land only opens once every three years, and only Lords below Tier 4 are allowed to enter each time.
Once he was kicked out of the instance, he would be forever barred from it.
After all, he absolutely could not suppress his cultivation for three years without breaking through.
Not to mention, even if he did suppress his strength for three years, the higher-ups of Dragon Country might not necessarily give him another slot.
Therefore, Li Feng simply honestly picked the awakening fruit and stored it in his personal space.
The value of one awakening fruit was almost equivalent to 10 units of Mythical-grade resources.
As a fruit meant for ordinary people, its value could be said to be incredibly heaven-defying.
“Building the Creation Tower requires a total of 300 units of Mythical-grade resources, which means I need to obtain at least 30 awakening fruit,” Li Feng pondered, examining the awakening fruit in his hand.
From its shape, the awakening fruit looked very ordinary, like a large green date.
But its surface emitted a faint golden glow, adding infinite charm to it.
“Hmm~ Now I just hope this instance can produce enough awakening fruit.”
After putting away the awakening fruit, Li Feng continued forward in the direction he had been going.
At the same time, his expression unconsciously grew colder.
According to Lei Tian, when luck was bad, the total number of awakening fruit in the entire Awakening Land barely exceeded a hundred.
If that were truly the case, it would be very difficult for him to gather 30 awakening fruit by himself.
Since that was the case, then... he would snatch them!
Thinking of this, a cold curve appeared at the corner of Li Feng's mouth.
Although it was unethical, this was reality.
Resources were limited; if you didn't snatch from others, then you would wait for others to snatch from you.
Even if Li Feng's achievements were verifiable, faced with such immense benefits, there would definitely be people who would lose their heads and try to snatch from Li Feng.
Fortunately, this instance had another rule.
This instance would last for seven days, during which any Lord killed would automatically exit the instance.
Alternatively, a Lord could choose to exit the instance themselves.
However, no matter which way one exited the instance, they could not take the awakening fruit out of it.
Only by waiting until the instance's duration ended and leaving normally could one keep the awakening fruit in their possession.
It was obvious that the final rhythm of this instance would inevitably be mutual combat and plunder.
While Li Feng was searching for awakening fruit alone, a group of people led by Akayera of the Red God Clan were also in action.
“Excellent, with these awakening fruit, the little ones in my clan will become even more talented; after consuming the awakening fruit, there’s not only a chance to increase the grade of their initial Troops, but also to increase their talent level.”
Akayera picked the awakening fruit in front of him one by one, a pleased smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, the group of Lords with various skin colors behind him exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.
They naturally knew about increasing the grade of initial Troops.
But the fact that awakening fruit could even increase talent levels shocked them.
“Are you very surprised? But this is normal; after all, your world is just the most ordinary small world, and you have only been in the Endless Continent for a few thousand years.”
“The civilization of our world has a history of millions of years, and the Godly Lords born within our world number over four digits; our research on talents is naturally far ahead of your world.”
Akayera said very proudly, and even the light on his body seemed to shine brighter.
“Yes, yes, yes, our world certainly cannot be compared with your world, Lord Akayera,” an Asian Lord immediately said fawningly, utterly respectful.
Akayera glanced at him and nodded in satisfaction.
He then continued, “These things are already common knowledge in our world, so there’s no harm in telling you. According to our world’s research, the probability and quality of talent awakening are linked to the soul.”
“The stronger the soul, the more likely it is to give birth to talent, and the higher the quality of the talent. Based on this theory, our world developed the Soul Detection Stone.”
“The Soul Detection Stone can detect a person’s soul strength, and it was then discovered that consuming the awakening fruit can significantly enhance an ordinary person’s soul strength, indirectly improving their talent level.”
After hearing everything Akayera said, the Western Lords' faces showed shock.
This was the first time they had heard such a statement.
“Although the higher-ups in your world haven’t specifically derived this theory, they have clearly touched upon it,” Akayera greatly enjoyed the shocked expressions on these bumpkins’ faces, so he couldn’t help but add another sentence.
“Lord Akayera, why do you say that?” A Lord, unable to control his curiosity, asked.
“Generally speaking, soul strength will increase with age, but each race has a limit, and for you humans, that limit is probably 16 years old.”
“Even if soul strength grows by leaps and bounds every year before 16, once 16 is reached, it will immediately become dormant and will no longer increase.”
“Therefore, your world created a so-called Lord's Festival, where human cubs who turn 16 each year undergo awakening, so as to maximize the potential of you humans.”
Upon hearing this, the Western Lords exchanged glances.
This was the first time they had heard such a claim.
“Roar!”
Just then, a fist-sized, furry fierce beast stood on Akayera's shoulder and let out a roar.
Amethyst Behemoth!
The Western Lords all looked over, their faces showing envy.
This was a gift from Akayera's elder, a Mythical-grade hero.
And its strength had reached Tier 4, possessing terrifying power!
