86: Dark Stone

Seeing Tang Xiaorou's suspicious gaze, Wang Ledian said nothing, picked up his weapon, and charged towards the Shadow Cats.

He raised the shield in his hand and swept it horizontally.

Two Shadow Cats were immediately sent flying by him, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Wang Ledian's strength was immense, and coupled with his counter-damage ability, the Shadow Cats were instantly severely wounded.

Even more terrifying was his potent poison ability, which caused the Shadow Cats' injuries to continuously worsen.

Wang Ledian paid no attention to the Shadow Cats lying on the ground.

Holding his shield, he continued to charge forward.

He rampaged through, like a bulldozer...

"This... this..."

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaorou was too shocked to speak.

Could it really be Tier 2?

Then, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Xingyu and the others.

She saw that each of them was more formidable than the last; the Shadow Cats were basically killed in one move by them.

Especially Lin Xingyu.

He controlled two Flying Swords, which flashed quickly.

The Shadow Cats were killed before they could even react.

And he himself was leisurely drinking wine over there... This was too cool!!!

After charging through the beast horde for a while, Wang Ledian felt he had shown off enough.

He stopped, turned his head, and looked at Tang Xiaorou smugly.

He saw that she wasn't looking at him, but was focused on Lin Xingyu.

That adoring expression made Wang Ledian's blood boil.

It was as if ten thousand mud horses galloped through his heart.

So all his hard work was just to make a wedding dress for Lin Xingyu?

He finally had a chance to show off, and it was snatched away just like that??

...At this moment, Luo Chengan in the crowd was also observing Lin Xingyu.

The moment he saw Lin Xingyu, he confirmed he was the person from the prophecy.

He subconsciously used his Heaven-Peeking Mirror ability to probe Lin Xingyu's background.

But as soon as he used the ability, he suffered a backlash.

"That's right! This is the taste!"

Luo Chengan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth indifferently, took out a pill, and threw it into his mouth.

As the pill entered his mouth, his injuries quickly recovered, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

Lin Xingyu didn't notice this; he was still diligently killing monsters.

The group was very efficient, and in a short while, they had wiped out the Shadow Cat horde.

After the battle, Lin Xingyu finally had time to size up the others.

"This fatty actually has an SS-Rank Spirit Seed!"

"And it's a Precognition Ability!"

When he saw Luo Chengan's information, he couldn't help but gasp.

This ability was very rare; if used well, it could play a huge role.

Luo Chengan saw Lin Xingyu looking at him, immediately stepped forward, and cupped his hands to him.

"Thank you, big brother, for your help!"

Then, he flipped his wrist, holding a black stone in his palm, and handed it to Lin Xingyu.

"This strange stone has an Opportunity with big brother, so I'll give it to big brother as thanks!"

Lin Xingyu looked at the stone, and an information box immediately appeared before his eyes.

[dark fiend stone]

[Quality: None]

[Introduction: A trace of Dark Evil Qi is sealed inside, which may have unexpected uses.]

The information was simple, and the stone's use was unclear.

"I don't know what this is for either, but it will definitely be of great use to you!"

As if seeing Lin Xingyu's doubts, Luo Chengan spoke again.

"Alright, then I'll accept it!"

Hearing him say that, Lin Xingyu nodded and accepted the "dark fiend stone."

Luo Chengan had a Precognition Ability; perhaps he knew something.

"Let's add each other as friends. If you need anything in the future, you can always find me!"

Luo Chengan looked at Lin Xingyu, his face full of anticipation.

He now understood that Tang Xiaorou and the others were just a catalyst; the main person was this one.

His Opportunity was related to Lin Xingyu.

"Okay!"

Lin Xingyu nodded in agreement, took out his bracelet, and added Luo Chengan as a friend.

This guy's ability was very special; he might be useful in the future... On the other side, Tang Xiaorou was pulling Wang Chiyao, asking all sorts of questions.

They were classmates, and meeting in the Secret Realm made them feel especially close.

"Are all those Puppets yours?"

Tang Xiaorou looked at Wang Chiyao, her face full of envy.

Wang Chiyao's mech was already very powerful, but she didn't expect her to have so many Puppets.

"Yes, they are all my subordinates!"

Wang Chiyao put her hands on her hips, a proud expression on her face.

Then, she waved to the side.

Two Puppets walked in front of them, performing various actions, allowing Tang Xiaorou and the others to observe them.

"Wow, so cool!"

Tang Xiaorou examined the Puppets up and down, occasionally touching them.

"Chiyao, are you all Tier 2?"

Xu Miao didn't observe the Puppets; she leaned close to Wang Chiyao and asked subtly.

She was more concerned about Lin Xingyu's Rank.

Before, she always thought Lin Xingyu had the lowest potential and couldn't possibly reach Tier 2.

Although she saw that Lin Xingyu was very powerful, deep down she was unwilling to believe that Lin Xingyu was already Tier 2.

"Yes, we are all Tier 2!"

Wang Chiyao nodded, as if seeing through Xu Miao's thoughts, and deliberately emphasized.

"Brother Xingyu is the most powerful; he's almost Tier 3 now!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Miao's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Lin Xingyu used to pursue Su Yingxue, and as Su Yingxue's best friend, she never thought highly of Lin Xingyu.

Ever since the last Spirit Awakening Ritual, when Lin Xingyu awakened the lowest-Rank spirit seed, she had categorized Lin Xingyu as the lowest rung of society.

After all, with Lin Xingyu's F-rank Spiritual Seed Aptitude, it would be very, very difficult to reach Tier 2.

She herself had an E-Rank spirit seed, so breaking through to Tier 2 had no Bottleneck.

Unconsciously, she had developed a condescending attitude towards Lin Xingyu.

But now, the halo of being first in the trial, the strength of a Tier 2 Peak... These achievements were like invisible slaps, shattering her pitiful sense of superiority.

Wang Chiyao looked at Xu Miao's expression, feeling a burst of satisfaction.

She loved seeing those who looked down on Lin Xingyu get a taste of their own medicine... Meanwhile.

Outside Starfall City, Barren Alliance base.

"Our people have discovered a large concentration of World Purifying Society members in Secret Realm No. 4399!"

Chen Ping, the base commander, was reporting the situation to Marquis Lie Hu.

"A good Opportunity!"

Hearing this, Marquis Lie Hu's eyes lit up.

He had been looking for World Purifying Society members recently.

However, these people were always elusive, making it difficult to find their main force.

This left the anger in his heart with nowhere to vent.

This time, he finally caught an Opportunity!

Although he couldn't enter Secret Realm No. 4399, he had deployed a large number of personnel inside beforehand.

Now was their time to shine.

"Issue the order: All members in Secret Realm No. 4399, gather in that direction!"

"Leave none alive; annihilate the World Purifying Society!"

...Starfall City, Li Family.

A similar scene was unfolding.

"You're saying, World Purifying Society members have been found gathering in Secret Realm No. 4399?"

The Li Family Patriarch was sitting in the main seat, listening to his subordinate's report.

To find the dragon egg, the Li Family had deployed a large number of personnel in the Secret Realm.

It was precisely because these people were in the Secret Realm that they survived the previous conflict.

This allowed them to retain a considerable amount of strength.

At the same time, because many of their personnel were in the Secret Realm, the family's defenses were empty, allowing others to exploit the loophole.
