124: "Thousand Evolutions Technique" Upgrade

"Yes, Boss! This is information about the Void Shattering Formation," Hidden Shadow said respectfully, handing over a document.

After Lin Xingyu issued the task, they had been investigating in the Three-Eyed Clan World, and now they had some leads.

The Void Shattering Formation was developed by the Three-Eyed Clan's Spirit Eye Pagoda.

The Spirit Eye Pagoda, as the research institution of the Three-Eyed Clan, was similar to Blue Star's Spiritual Energy Research Institute.

The data for the Void Shattering Formation was sealed in the Spirit Eye Pagoda's headquarters.

The security there was tight, and Hidden Shadow couldn't infiltrate it.

"Keep an eye on the Genius Battle for now; the Spirit Eye Pagoda can wait," Lin Xingyu said, taking the information.

Their current Rank was still low, and their forces had just been established, so they couldn't rush things.

Lin Xingyu planned to start with the Three-Eyed Clan Geniuses.

This time, the Three-Eyed Clan's Genius Battle was still selecting low-Rank Evolvers.

The Secret Realm they were to refine was likely a low-level Secret Realm.

He had already reached Rank Four and couldn't enter.

However, Lin Xingyu had already found a solution to this problem.

He had specifically consulted the System and confirmed that he could devour the secret realm core using an Apostle as a medium.

Therefore, Lin Xingyu planned to convert the first-place winner of the Genius Battle into his Apostle.

Fortunately, he still had an apostle fruit, allowing the plan to proceed.

"Understood, Boss!" Hidden Shadow accepted the order and left. After the spirit seeds hatched, Lin Xingyu handed the equipment to Luo Chengan and had him sell it at the Wanding Chamber of Commerce for cash.

Afterward, he went back outside to select spirit seeds.

After several trips back and forth, he finally finished selecting all the spirit seeds available in Starfall City.

This time, the harvest was bountiful, earning a full 17 million units of spirit crystals alone.

Not only that, but the Apostles' gear was also updated.

Now they all had C-Rank spirit gear, and some even had B-Rank.

Lin Xingyu also equipped a full set of B-Rank spirit gear, looking every bit like a nouveau riche.

In addition, he purchased a large number of seeds, including some rare plants.

He gave these seeds to the Treants, who had a talent for planting.

He believed it wouldn't be long before his Inner World would be full of vibrant life. As night fell, Lin Xingyu did not go out but put on a virtual helmet and entered the trial tower.

After advancing to Rank Four, his strength had surged; it was time to challenge the trial tower.

This time, he still chose "Battle Mode."

Last time he was crushed in the fifth stage; this time he would get his revenge.

After entering Battle Mode, an opponent quickly refreshed.

This was a Bald Strong Man, a Rank Five Evolver.

The Strong Man held two strangely shaped scimitars.

The blades were wide, and when the two swords were merged, they could form a shield.

"It's you!" Lin Xingyu's eyes lit up.

This was the same opponent he had encountered last time; he didn't expect to meet him again.

"Haha, so it's you, kid!"

"I admit you're a Genius, but with your Rank Three strength, you can't beat me!" The Bald Strong Man also recognized Lin Xingyu.

Last time, this guy fought him head-on with Rank Three strength, leaving a deep impression on him.

"Stop talking nonsense, take this!" The battle was about to begin!

Lin Xingyu raised his hand and waved, and the star ray shuttle flashed out, flying towards his opponent.

After advancing to Rank Four, the number of star ray shuttles doubled again, from 4 to 8, and their power also greatly increased.

"Good timing!" The Strong Man roared, his scimitars dancing impenetrably as he charged at Lin Xingyu.

He was a melee unit and needed to close the distance to break through Lin Xingyu's long-range attacks.

The two sides quickly clashed.

As soon as they engaged, the Bald Strong Man felt something was wrong.

Not only had his opponent's weapon count doubled, but his attack power had also greatly increased.

He had originally thought that with an increase in weapon count, the attack power of a single weapon should decrease.

However, the guy opposite him not only didn't decrease but actually increased his power.

He suddenly realized something and, while fending off attacks, began to check Lin Xingyu's information.

Sure enough, he had already advanced to Rank Four. Lin Xingyu knew his strength; he could fight him to a draw at Rank Three.

Now that he was Rank Four, fighting him again would definitely result in a crushing defeat.

Who would willingly seek abuse?

"You're already Rank Four; I'm not fighting you!" The Bald Man shouted, directly choosing to surrender, turning into a white light and disappearing.

Lin Xingyu stood stunned.

Among those who had crushed him last time, this Bald Man was one of them.

This time he wanted to get his revenge, but this guy was too cunning; he immediately ran away when he saw he couldn't win.

It felt like punching cotton.

To vent his frustration, Lin Xingyu directly chose the next match. Soon, an opponent was successfully matched: a thin man.

This time, Lin Xingyu didn't waste words; the star ray shuttle instantly flashed out, heading straight for his opponent.

The opponent quickly parried.

The two sides clashed, making clanging sounds.

Under Lin Xingyu's fast-paced attacks, the opponent quickly faltered and soon died on the spot.

Lin Xingyu didn't hesitate and continued to choose the next match. In the time that followed, Lin Xingyu always used this mode, quickly killing his opponents.

He had a winning streak and quickly reached nine consecutive victories.

In the tenth match, Lin Xingyu also learned from Wang Ledian and the others and directly conceded.

Then it was the next match. Match after match, Lin Xingyu had a blast.

The trial tower chat channel instantly became lively:

"Today is really unlucky; as a Rank Five, I was actually crushed by a Rank Four guy!"

"Me too, I was just instantly killed by a guy playing with Flying Swords, and I didn't even have time to say a word!"

"Playing with Flying Swords? I encountered him too; that guy's firepower is too strong, I couldn't resist at all!"

"Is it God of Wine? He was still Rank Three two days ago, and I gave him a good beating then. Now that he's Rank Four, I'm completely no match for him. Good thing I ran fast!"

"I was just crushed by a summoner holding a small banner!"

"Speaking of summoners, two days ago I was crushed by a summoner wearing a mecha."

"Mecha summoner? Why are there so many strange guys recently?"

Lin Xingyu didn't pay attention to the chat channel; he was just immersed in the joy of battle.

Or rather, immersed in the pleasure of crushing others.

In one battle, when he once again fully activated the star ray shuttle,

A System prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your Thousand Evolution Art has reached the Master Rank!"

"It leveled up!" Lin Xingyu's face lit up with joy.

The Master Rank Thousand Evolution Art could increase combat power by 8 times.

The next step would be the Expert Rank, which could increase combat power by 16 times.

It seems he would have to come to the trial tower often in the future; while crushing opponents, he could also improve his combat technique proficiency.

After the combat technique leveled up, the power of the star ray shuttle instantly surged, directly piercing through his opponent.

Lin Xingyu no longer hesitated and directly achieved ten consecutive victories, advancing to the sixth stage.

Upon reaching the sixth stage, the trial tower rewarded 100,000 points.

He now had 186,000 points, enough to exchange for a bodhi fruit.
