69: Chapter 69 System: My voice was too loud, it drowned out yours!

System, are you seeing me relax often and getting ahead of yourself too?

Or are you preparing to let me restart?

Although this Dark Sea Evil Dragon isn't as awesome as the Divine Beasts later on, it must be at least as strong as an Asura King, maybe slightly weaker, but at least above the seventh realm.

Even if I can challenge across Realms, this Rank gap is too huge; it spans two major stages!

I can't believe a Fourth Realm Liu Hong pushed me into that situation, nearly dying. If not for Pei Yuhan, I would've been turned into scum.

And the Dark Sea Evil Dragon is so huge, like a mountain.

Forget about using skills; even if I did, what's the difference from Minato? Am I a scratching master?

I refuse to accept the mission! I can't do it! Not even a little bit!

[Mission Rewards: Shadow Sea Evil Dragon Egg, Special Grade Spirit Beast Augmentation Potion, Special Grade Spirit Beast Bloodline Enhancement Medicinal Pill, Shadow Sea Evil Dragon Training Manual]

Lin Kuang looked at the rewards. Although he was a bit tempted, his life was more important! So he shook his head and said, "You're overcomplicating things! If I could defeat it, why would I need this? Wouldn't I just catch it directly?"

Is it because my Rank is too low to subdue it? Oh! So that's how it is. Then I definitely can't go!

Besides, with my current strength, it's hard enough just to get close to it! Unless the opponent is extremely weak, then I might take a sneak shot!

And even for the Spirit Beast Heart Lock, it requires a certain level of favorability, or for the opponent to be extremely weak to have even a tiny chance!

[Ding! Defeat the Mini Version of the Dark Sea Evil Dragon: Come into contact with the Dark Sea Evil Dragon and hold out for three breaths to obtain the Mini Version rewards!]

[Mini Rewards: Favorability with the Sea Evil Dragon race increased by 50%]

Special Intermediate Spirit Power Pill ×3: Anyone below the Fourth Realm can increase a small stage by taking one. If the host breaks through to the Third Realm, they can directly reach the Peak.

Thunder Wings: This item can greatly increase the host's flying speed and strengthen all lightning-attribute skills.

Power of Seven Stars (Part 1): Can combine the Nine Suns Burning Fire Art and Thunder and Lightning into one, launching meteors at the ground to cause large-scale critical damage.]

Oh! So there's a mini version. I admit my voice was a bit loud just now! Sorry, System, it's my fault.

It just so happens I'm already at the Peak of the second realm. With the Special Intermediate Spirit Power Pill, as long as I Breakthrough to the Third Realm, I can speed-run directly to the Peak of the Third Realm.

Moreover, Lin Kuang had a fresh memory of this Power of Seven Stars. Back in the Secret Realm, just experiencing it for a few minutes allowed his first realm cultivation to directly insta-kill a Peak Third Realm.

With this, even if I can't transform into the Blazing Sun form, being able to use meteors is already very cool. Not to mention combining two Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques—the power is unimaginable.

Finally, these Thunder Wings are simply the icing on the cake. Not only can they make the meteor damage higher, but they also allow me to escape faster. A must-have Divine Artifact for survival and combat.

And I have the Fengxiao Sword. I can completely take Yu Xiaotang and run when the time comes. Besides, the Fengxiao Sword is so large, it's basically a private jet.

Maybe I can even 'take off' while the plane is taking off.

Having planned the reward distribution, Lin Kuang looked at the mission again.

However, holding out for three seconds against a big guy who absolutely crushes me in Realm is still a bit difficult.

I can only say I'll try. If it doesn't work, I'll run. Lin Kuang took out the Jade Slip Pei Yuhan gave him. If a problem arises, I'll let Pink Nine tank for a bit. Anyway, that shield is concept-level; it can block one attack!

I'll have time to crush this Jade Slip and teleport back to the Sword Sect!

With my chosen-one script and so many top-tier Magic Treasures and Spirit Beasts, I can't fall here and let someone else reap the benefits.

After accepting the mission, Lin Kuang began to frantically pop pills. His plan was to use Xiao Wu and Lianyi to attack in the first second, use the Crystal Giant Turtle to draw fire in the second second, use Pink Nine for defense in the third second, and then crush the Jade Slip to flee.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any mistake could lead to death. So this time he couldn't hold back. Lin Kuang swallowed various augmentation Medicinal Pills in one go, briefly raising his aura to the Peak of the Third Realm, faintly reaching half-step Fourth Realm.

Having adjusted his mindset, Lin Kuang flew toward the Heavenly Pond.

After an hour of flight, Lin Kuang and Yu Xiaotang reached the Heavenly Pond.

"Wow! Heavenly Pond! We finally left the forest and mountains!"

As soon as she saw the Heavenly Pond, Yu Xiaotang got excited and started jumping on the beach. "I must subdue a powerful Spirit Beast and make my sister and Lin Kuang look at me in a new light!"

"Wait? That's not right! Lin Kuang, how do you have so many Magic Treasures and Spirit Beasts at the same time? I remember that below the Fourth Realm, one can control at most 5 or 6, right?"

"You have one Fengxiao Sword, two thunderclap swords, one blazing fire sword, one Five Thunder Vibration Drum, one Pink Nine, and one Crystal Giant Turtle... isn't that a bit much? That's 7 already!" Seeing the Heavenly Pond, Yu Xiaotang suddenly realized something and looked at Lin Kuang warily.

After all, the control of Magic Treasures and Spirit Beasts is directly linked to cultivation, unless it's some exceptionally gifted Genius who might be able to control more.

"The two thunderclap swords are the same Magic Treasure, so they count as one!" Lin Kuang also suddenly understood that Xiao Wu had distributed the control of the thunderclap swords.

But to avoid making Yu Xiaotang suspicious, he had to find an excuse to fool her.

Even if there are more later, I can appropriately discard one or just go to Pei Yuhan for a stronger Magic Treasure. As a Transcendent Cultivator, she definitely won't lack such things.

"I remember the limit is 5!" Yu Xiaotang's eyes became even sharper.

Holy crap! Damn it, isn't she controlled by the Heart Lock? How can she still guess randomly?

"To strengthen the Five Thunder Vibration Drum, I made one thunderclap sword into an auxiliary Magic Treasure!"

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Although Yu Xiaotang sometimes had her own thoughts, she had one good trait: if she felt something was reasonable, it was reasonable!

Moreover, she had indeed read in books about Magic Treasure re-refining, which was just as Lin Kuang said—refining one Magic Treasure into an auxiliary for another, so one only needs to control the main Magic Treasure.

After fooling her, Lin Kuang and Yu Xiaotang searched for wild Spirit Beasts around the Heavenly Pond. At this time, a towering lighthouse appeared in the distance.

"Hey! Lin Kuang, that's a lighthouse! If there's a lighthouse, it means someone is using spiritual power for lighting every day. I have a place to stay!" Yu Xiaotang said excitedly.

"A lighthouse?" Lin Kuang looked at the lighthouse and fell into thought.

Could this be the lighthouse of the Heavenly Pond Guards? Since such a thing exists, there must be a protective shield!

Lighthouses like this are specially built by the Dynasty or the Cultivation Alliance, and usually have a defense shield to protect the people inside from threats.

Found it so quickly! Does that mean the Dark Sea Evil Dragon is also coming? But should I go now?

The opponent's cultivation is so high; I don't know if this mission is a blessing or a curse.

"Alright, Lin Kuang, what are you dazing there for! If you don't come over, I'll make you sleep on the floor!" Yu Xiaotang flew straight toward it as if drawn by some attraction.
