There were more than 20 dead bodies lying on the snowy ground.
Most of the 23 dead bodies were cut in half while a minority of them had multiple wounds on their bodies. The fatal wound was that their heads were chopped off.
In the middle of the dead bodies, there was a plump young man holding a supreme sword relic that was still bleeding.
"My luck is pretty good this time. The little ghost that I've parasitized has such a high talent in the Dao of the Saber. The weakness of us Magi in melee combat has been made up for." Zhu Xing put the saber back into his body and began searching the corpses.
Based on Wu Zhi's character, he would not bother to take the loot from the juniors. However, apart from the phalanx that he had obtained from the Sorcerer Goddess Shrine, there was nothing else that he was interested in. He needed a large amount of resources to increase his combat strength. Therefore, he had to humble himself and take the loot from the juniors who were not even imperial-level.
After searching for all 23 dead bodies, Zhu Xing shook his head in disappointment. "There's not even a demigod relic. I wonder what's in the Emperor's Heart Ring. I'll have to find someone to crack it when I get out of here. How troublesome."
"I can't find the kid who obtained the key to the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine after so many days. He must be hiding in the Sorcerer Goddess's Tower. The day after tomorrow is the one-month exploration deadline. However, there are only 12 Sorcerer Goddess's Towers. Excluding the Sorcerer Goddess's Tower where my tribe is, there are 11 of them. Among the 11 guardian tribes of the Sorcerer Goddess's Tower, only seven of them have no ill intentions towards humans. Only these seven tribes would allow humans to enter the Sorcerer Goddess's Tower. I should have enough time to visit the seven footholds in the remaining two days. "
"If I can kill the kid on this floating land, it'll save me a lot of trouble. After all, a genius like him will definitely be protected by powerful people in the outside world. With my current condition, I can't even fight an imperial-level who is slightly more powerful, let alone a demigod. Moreover, there'll be more powerful people eyeing the inheritance in the outside world. The competition will be even more intense. I have to obtain the inheritance before the deadline tomorrow. I'll then change my face and blend into the crowd to leave this land. "
After making up his mind, Zhu Xing slowly rose into the sky and looked in a certain direction. "But before that, I need to find some helpers …"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure turned into a sharp arrow, speeding in the direction where he had just looked.
…
In the blink of an eye, Lin Huang had already stayed on the ninth floor of the Sorcerer Goddess Pagoda for four days.
During these four days, he didn't eat, drink, sleep, or rest at all. He devoted himself to the cultivation of Combatant Formula, accumulating two million skill shards almost every day.
Including the two million or so shards from the beginning, he was getting closer and closer to the ten million shards he needed to break through to the tenth stage of Combatant Formula.
On the morning of the fourth day, the accumulated number of shards had exceeded the eight million mark. As time passed, the number continued to increase.
8.5 million …
Nine million …
Nine million five hundred thousand …
When it was past ten o 'clock on the fourth day, the number of Combatant Formula card shards finally reached ten million. Lin Huang finally heard Xiao Hei's voice.
"Congratulations, you've detected ten million Combatant Formula card shards. Would you like to consume ten million card shards to break through to the tenth stage of Combatant Formula?"
"Yes!" Lin Huang made his decision without hesitation.
"Consuming Combatant Formula card shards x10 million, beginning breakthrough to the tenth stage of Combatant Formula … Breakthrough complete!"
"Congratulations, you've obtained a mythical-level skill card — Twisted Fate Scripture!"
"Mythical-level card? I don't have enough authority to activate it, right? "Lin Huang asked immediately.
"Twisted Fate Scripture is a special card. It's evolved from Combatant Formula. Although it's a mythical-level card, it doesn't have any authority restrictions."
"So, I can cultivate it directly?" After confirming that he had finally obtained a mythical-level card that he could use, Lin Huang was instantly excited. The tiredness from the four days and four nights of cultivation was instantly swept away.
"Of course, you can. Take a look at the description of the card yourself."
Lin Huang immediately summoned the Twisted Fate Scripture card.
"Special Life Skill Card
"Life Skill Name: Twisted Fate Scripture
"Rarity: Mythical-level
"Control Level: Twisted Fate First Rotation (10,000)
"Twisted Fate Nine Rotations: After every rotation, the cultivator's body, soul, strength, speed, reflexes, and other physical attributes will be doubled. After all nine rotations are completed, the cultivator's body will go through a transformation and he'll become a Virtual Cultivator directly!
"Twisted Fate Nine Rotations: You don't have enough authority. Effect unknown.
"Card Remarks: Awesome!"
It was Lin Huang's first time seeing Xiao Hei giving such a high rating to a card. However, he remembered that Mr. Fu once said that transcendent-level skills and Monster Skills could rarely increase one's body attributes. Perhaps it was because of the rarity of such skills that Xiao Hei gave it such a high rating.
"Does the 0/1,000,000 in the bracket mean that I'll need 1,000,000 card shards to complete the first rotation?" Lin Huang asked Xiao Hei.
"Yes."
"Then, what about the second and third rotation?" Lin Huang knew that it was impossible for the number of card shards to be the same for each rotation. If that was the case, it would be too easy to cultivate the Twisted Fate Nine Rotations.
"The number of card shards required for each rotation will be doubled."
"No way. The first rotation requires 1,000,000 card shards. Doesn't that mean I'll need more than 200,000,000 card shards for the ninth rotation?" Lin Huang was speechless.
"Theoretically, that's true. This skill is really difficult to cultivate."
Although the number of card shards required was shocking, Lin Huang soon calmed himself down. This skill was mythical-level after all. As long as the Twisted Fate Nine Rotations were completed, one would be able to become a Virtual God directly. It was reasonable that it was difficult to cultivate. Otherwise, those who cultivated this skill in the ancient times would have become Virtual Gods.
"The ninth level of the Sorcerer Goddess Tower is a great place for cultivation. It'd be great if I could stay here and cultivate the Twisted Fate Scripture." The speed of obtaining card shards on the ninth level of the Sorcerer Goddess Tower was more than 20 times faster than the outside world. Lin Huang thought about the number of card shards required for the Twisted Fate Scripture. He wanted to stay in the Sorcerer Goddess Tower to cultivate.
"Tomorrow is the last day of the one-month exploration period. If you don't leave, you'll be killed by the people from the Coalition government." Xiao Hei reminded him.
"I know. That's why I'm feeling this way." Lin Huang nodded helplessly. "I'll see how many Twisted Fate Scripture card shards I can get since there's still half a day left."
"You're finally awake. The White Bone Clan Leader is looking for you." Before Lin Huang could immerse himself in cultivation again, the gigantic face of the stone tower appeared on the dome.
