after long chen separated with tang wan-er, he used the tablet’s map to figure out his location and pick out a new goal location.
currently, he was still at the fringes of the trial region. according to the map, he needed to cross over a large river and pass by a large mountain before reaching the final destination of the trial.
but less than a week had passed into the trial so far, so he still had more than ample time. so first, he found an isolated cave and took out a wonder carp essence.
the wonder carp essence was around the size of a soybean. it looked like nothing more than a round, unremarkable bone. even if it was crushed, there weren’t any clues as to what it really was.
he took out a black medicinal pill from his spatial ring. crushing it into a small bowl of water, the water immediately became black as ink.
placing the wonder carp essence into the bowl, that black medicinal liquid immediately began to boil over. countless bubbles popped up, and a faint energy slowly spread.
long chen smiled. only this method was capable of drawing out the wonder carp’s essence energy.
touching his forehead, his spiritual strength circulated. a faint vortex appeared between his eyebrows, absorbing the fluctuations being emitted from the wonder carp essence, not leaving even the slightest bit.
in just a single breath’s time, all the wonder carp essence’s energy was completely absorbed. taking out the wonder carp essence from the bowl, he saw that it had already become much dimmer, in the end falling apart like a ball of mud.
that showed that all the energy within the essence had been completely drawn out. long chen closed his eyes and sensed his current state. his spiritual strength had advanced slightly from absorbing this wonder carp essence, but he couldn’t be too sure about that because it really was just a slight, minor advancement.
over twenty wonder carp essences now appeared in his hand. these were the result of his two meals of wonder carps.
rumble...
he placed them all into the bowl, causing the black liquid to once more boil. powerful fluctuations began to surge.
long chen didn’t dare be negligent, and the vortex over his forehead once more appeared, beginning to absorb this energy.
this kind of energy was invisible to the naked eye. it could only be sensed with the soul. as he absorbed more and more energy, a pleased smile appeared on long chen’s face.
with this many essences, long chen could clearly sense the powerful energy nourishing his soul. his spiritual strength became much livelier.
the wonder carp essences’ energy didn’t contain spiritual strength, but a kind of marvelous energy that could nourish the soul.
if the spiritual strength was a tree, then the wonder carp essences’ energy was like its fertilizer.
under the nourishment of this many wonder carp essences’ energy, long chen could clearly sense his spiritual strength slowly growing. although this growth was slight, it still made him go wild with joy.
spiritual strength was something that was set once you were born. it would only ever advance when you broke through realms.
treasures that could nourish spiritual strength were exceedingly few. and treasures like the wonder carp essences were essentially unknown by others. they knew about its flavor, but they thought the wonder carp essence was just trash.
“unfortunately, this life ring is too low in quality. otherwise, i could grab a couple extra fish and breed them over and over.”
long chen couldn’t help but sigh regretfully. the wonder carp’s reproductive ability had always been low, and they were extremely picky about their surroundings. they required a clean and natural environment. therefore, it was extremely difficult to breed them purposefully.
and as for his current life ring, it could only manage to keep them alive. it wasn’t capable of letting them grow more, and so he was a bit disappointed.
he found a bronze set that fit him. now with this bronze armor covering him, he wouldn’t have to worry about these thorns.
after thinking for a moment, he continued looking through his spatial ring and found a helmet for himself as well.
“haha, excellent.” this helmet was a full helmet that completely covered his head, leaving only two holes for his eyes. even someone who knew him wouldn’t be able to recognize him.
“ah, if i want to commit some sins, having good tools is definitely a must!” long chen was delighted. putting on the helmet, he found that although his line of sight was somewhat restricted and it was a bit uncomfortable, it wasn’t that difficult to get used to. he sent his divine sense to see things for him.
he continued forward again. with this armor protecting him, he no longer worried about these thorns.
this set of armor should weigh more than one hundred and fifty kilograms. by relying on inertia, long chen could shoot forward like a cannonball. during that wild rush, even if he ran into some huge tree, he wouldn’t have to dodge and could directly charge through it.
“haha, how refreshing!” that was the first time long chen experienced such a feeling. he felt as if his heart and spirit had been released and were flying. he enjoyed the thrill of this high-speed travel.
“ah, crap!”
while he was enjoying this refreshing feeling, he hadn’t expected to run into two others. they were also wearing armor and charging forward. however, in his eyes, their speed was no different from a snail’s.
“get out of the way! i can’t stop!”
boom!
long chen had only just shouted when he slammed into the two of them. those two were immediately sent flying into the air, shouting in panic.
with two loud bangs, those two crashed to the ground. ached groans came from them as they rolled around completely battered.
“ah sorry! this crash was definitely my fault!” long chen was alarmed.
“bastard, hand over your tile!”
those two crawled up and angrily pointed at long chen.
taking off their helmets, he saw their hair was a complete mess and blood was flowing from their noses. there were even some bruises on their faces. he had definitely crashed into them too hard.
“damn, it hurts. i can’t even feel my nose. what are you just staring for?! hand over your tile!” one person angrily shouted in between the pained moans.
“oh, i’m sorry. junior only just began to practice this method and isn’t too familiar. this tile will be my apology to you two.”
long chen definitely felt in the wrong and handed over his tian tile to them. in any case, he already had a full set, and he no longer had any use for it.
the two of them continued cursing as they received the tile. “brat, this time your luck is good. next time pay attention.”
“yes, next time i’ll definitely pay more attention,” laughed long chen.
“ok, let’s go. boss qi wants us to quickly gather. don’t delay boss qi’s major affair. we’ll just let this kid off this time,” said one to the other, pulling on the other to quickly leave.
after the two of them left, long chen was left wondering: boss qi? to be called boss, didn’t that mean it was most likely a monster-class figure, qi xin?
long chen turned to look in the direction they were going. hehe, qi xin, let me see just what you are planning.
