This time, there seemed to be many different types of monsters, and a large group of them came at him at once. So much so that he had no idea what the monsters were.
"Looks like I can't go to the dormitory for now." Lin Sheng looked around.
He was standing in the open space between the student dormitories.
There was no sun or moon in the sky, only a sea of red. The bright red dyed everything on the ground bright red.
Lin Sheng turned a corner and quickly left the dormitory area and came to the school area.
There were three buildings in the school area, each for students of different years to attend classes.
Lin Sheng held his sword and slowly walked to the main school building in the middle. The entrance to the school building was not a normal staircase.
Instead, it was an oval void slowly filled with purple fluorescence.
The void looked like a flowing viscous liquid, and the purple fluorescence kept spinning as if it could lead to some unknown place.
"This fluorescence, should be a new gap …" Lin Sheng recalled the many times he explored the dungeon.
He was very familiar with this purple fluorescence.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from all around Lin Sheng.
He tensed up and looked around, but there was not a single living thing in sight. He was the only one standing in the open space in front of the school building.
"Invisible?"
Lin Sheng raised his sword and carefully sensed his surroundings, but still could not see anything.
He quickly channeled his Saint power and let it flow into his eyes.
But there was still nothing. The sound around him was getting closer and closer.
He could even hear the dense footsteps of the monsters.
There seemed to be a lot of them!
If it was only a single digit, Lin Sheng would have tried to fight them, but there were at least hundreds of them.
He gave up on the idea of fighting them, and without a word, rushed into the purple fluorescent void.
* Puff. *
The purple fluorescence almost splashed, and Lin Sheng's entire body crashed into the liquid, and in a few seconds, he was completely immersed in the fluorescent light, and there was no more sound.
…
…
* Crack. *
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. As if a switch had been turned on, the raindrops fell densely.
On the second floor of the Knight's Mansion in Blackfeather City.
Lin Sheng rushed out from the wide crack in the wall.
He held a heavy sword in his hand and his body was covered in purple liquid. He closed his eyes and ran out of the crack in the wall.
"This is …?" Lin Sheng had just steadied himself and looked around.
The familiar environment reminded him that this was where he first left Blackfeather City.
"I'm back?!" Lin Sheng could not believe it.
Blackfeather City was where he first got everything. Be it the Weak Ritual of Animal Contract or the Evil Ritual, they were all obtained from here.
Standing on the ground, Lin Sheng patted the fluorescent liquid off his body and looked at the corpses on the ground.
Everything seemed to be the same as when he had just left.
There were still a few corpses on the second floor. They were all the humanoid monsters he had killed in the Knight's Mansion.
He took a deep breath and slowly walked down the stairs.
The hall on the first floor of the mansion was a mess. The wooden shelf that he had pulled over earlier was still lying on the ground.
There was also the corpse of a female swordsman lying on her side. And the corpse of a brawny man wearing a metal bucket helmet.
Lin Sheng recognized the two. One was Annie, and the other was Baird. They were the two monsters he had killed when he first explored the Knight's Mansion.
He had even gotten the Weak Ritual from Baird, which was a ritual that allowed him to form a contract with an animal.
Unfortunately, it was not of much use.
Lin Sheng stepped over the two corpses and gently pushed the door open.
Outside the Knight's Mansion was a spacious courtyard with a fountain. Opposite the courtyard was the small Holy Sanctum of Blackfeather City.
Lin Sheng walked out of the door and looked at the familiar Holy Sanctum. It had been so long since he saw the Holy Sanctum, and he felt a little lost for a moment.
But it only lasted for a moment before he recovered.
Walking out of the courtyard, Lin Sheng pushed open the closed iron gate. His feet stepped onto the cold street.
The street was still lit with pale yellow street lamps.
Lin Sheng walked across the street and strode into the small Holy Sanctum.
He pushed open the main door of the Holy Sanctum and returned to the spacious Holy Sanctum.
Rows of benches were neatly arranged in a formation, and the Holy Tome was still placed on the prayer altar in the hall.
As soon as Lin Sheng entered, he felt much safer.
He closed the door behind him and walked through the benches. Soon, he was behind the prayer altar, in front of the storage room.
The storage room door was wide open, and there was a meter-tall grayish-white stone test tower inside.
At the top of the test tower was a picture of a crescent moon next to three stars. Below the picture was a row of detailed markings.
Below it were two handle-like test devices.
Lin Sheng reached out and grabbed it. It just so happened that he wanted to know where he was right now.
As soon as he grabbed it, a faint aura flowed out of the stone pillar and quickly circulated around his body before returning to the stone pillar.
* Hiss … *
A thin white line rose from the middle of the stone pillar. Like a thermometer, it climbed upwards and soon stopped at the mark of a level 4 Temple Warrior.
"As expected … I am now a real Level Four Holy Warrior." Lin Sheng paused, let go and quickly activated Sacred Blood.
He was already in his half-dragon form, and now that he had activated Sacred Blood, he was practically in his strongest state.
This time, he reached out and grabbed the handle again.
* Hiss … *
The white line, which had just stopped at the fourth level, moved up a little more. It stopped in the middle of Level Four, a little bit away from Level Five.
"Still not Level Five." Lin Sheng retracted his hand and deactivated Sacred Blood.
"Too weak …" He sighed. He had thought he was strong, but after the battle, he realized how weak he was.
If not for his weak body, Khadula would not have been so passive.
He let go of the test tower. Lin Sheng was silent for a moment before he turned and walked out of the Holy Sanctum.
He needed more battles, more souls! To increase his strength.
Coming out of the Holy Sanctum.
Lin Sheng paused for a moment as he looked around.
It was night time, and there was no one on the street that was lit with pale yellow lights. He could see the end of the street.
He tightened his grip on the Claymore and slowly walked along the street toward the inner city.
He had killed so many monsters, and the memory fragments he obtained had already memorized the structure and terrain of Blackfeather City.
The next place he was going was where the real nobles of Blackfeather City lived.
That was the core area where most of the Transcendents of Blackfeather City gathered. It was also the most dangerous area.
He hadn't gone far when his expression suddenly froze. He saw a black building with three sharp horns on its right and stopped in his tracks.
On the iron gate outside the building hung a very familiar sign from his memory.
'Warrior's Guild'
"I didn't go far before I ran into the Warrior's Guild …"
Lin Sheng looked at the Warrior's Guild from afar.
In the dark, the guild building was like a sleeping bull. The two sharp horns on top were a constant reminder of the ferocious nature of the place.
"I hope I can run into some suitable monsters and increase the strength of my soul. Then I can level up my Saint Power and break through to the next level …"
Lin Sheng adjusted his state of mind as he gripped the Claymore tightly and slowly walked toward the iron gate of the Warrior's Guild.
As long as he had enough Soul Fragments, he could summon more helpers, and at the same time, his soul would become stronger. Only then could he continue to break through to the next level.
Lin Sheng estimated that if he absorbed another fifty Blackfeather Swordsmen's Soul Fragments, he would be able to level up his Saint Power to Level Five.
By then, Saint Power would strengthen his body, and he would naturally reach Level Five.
Ascetic cultivation of Saint Power to level up was the most orthodox path for the Holy Sanctum Warriors.
The only difference was that Lin Sheng's ascetic cultivation was not only about prayer and meditation, but he could also absorb Soul Fragments.
That was because Saint Power was actually the transformed Soul Power.
