[If I could go to the Douluo Continent, if I could snatch all those opportunities…
wouldn’t I take off in the future?] “This Sun Moon Lin Qing certainly has big dreams.” Lin Qing couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Indeed, he thought the same way.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux were Huo Yuhao’s two biggest “cheats.” If he could get his hands on them…
just thinking about it made his heart race.
But soon, the narrator’s voice pulled him back to reality.
[However, after pondering for a long time…
I realized this is too difficult.] Sun Moon Lin Qing put down the map, his brow furrowed tightly.
[It’s not just regular difficult.] [First of all, I’m from the Sun Moon Empire.
With relations between countries so tense right now, how could I safely run off to the Douluo Continent?] [Even if I got there, how could I guarantee I wouldn’t be caught as a spy?] Sun Moon Lin Qing paced back and forth in his dormitory.
[Secondly, even if I did manage to sneak in, where would I even look for Huo Yuhao?] [The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast; how could I possibly happen to be in that exact spot right when he encounters the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm?] [The odds are lower than winning the lottery.] “No flaws in that logic.” The version of himself from the parallel World analyzed it quite correctly.
Intercepting an Opportunity sounds easy, but doing it is truly as difficult as reaching the heavens.
[In the end, I gave up on this unrealistic notion.] Sun Moon Lin Qing shook his head and put away the map.
[It’s good enough just to survive in this upcoming chaotic era.
What I should do is play to my strengths—a mental-type Spirit.
Taking this chance to properly learn the Sun Moon Empire’s most powerful spirit tool technology is the true path forward.] [So, I decided: bury my head in studying spirit tools and walk my own path.] “That is a sober choice.” When safety cannot be guaranteed, stubbornly chasing after those ethereal opportunities is indeed quite foolish.
Keeping one’s feet on the ground and doing what one is good at is the right way.
At least Lin Qing didn’t think Sun Moon Lin Qing’s thoughts were wrong.
The last words continued to play.
[Not long after, I reached a Breakthrough to level ten, and my teacher came to find me.] A serious-looking middle-aged male teacher wearing glasses called Sun Moon Lin Qing into his office.
“Lin Qing, your spirit power has reached level ten.
According to academy regulations, I can take you to obtain your first spirit ring.” The teacher pushed up his glasses and looked at him seriously.
“Regarding the first spirit ring, do you have any plans or thoughts of your own?” Sun Moon Lin Qing was silent for a moment before uttering something shocking.
“Teacher, I want to…
try for a thousand-year spirit ring.” “What?!” The teacher stood up abruptly, his glasses nearly sliding off.
“A millennium first spirit ring?
Are you crazy?!” The teacher’s voice was full of shock and a hint of Life Qi.
“You are joking with your own life and future!” But Sun Moon Lin Qing remained very calm.
He waited for the teacher to finish before speaking slowly.
“Teacher, the one I’ve chosen is an Ice Worm spirit ring.” “Ice Worm?” The teacher was stunned.
“Yes.” Sun Moon Lin Qing nodded.
“The Ice Worm is a particularly weak Spirit Beast.
Even if it reaches the millennium level, its actual combat strength might not even match an ordinary century-old Spirit Beast.” “Its strength is high mental force, while its spirit power is instead relatively gentle and weak.
This matches my Heavenly Eye Spirit very well.” The teacher frowned, seemingly considering whether this proposal was actually feasible.
“But, the spirit power impact of a thousand-year spirit ring…” For spirit rings under ten thousand years, one didn’t need to worry about Soul tremors; the main issue was whether the body could withstand the spirit power impact.
Sun Moon Lin Qing took over the conversation.
“I have checked the materials in the academy library and calculated my own physical strength and mental force levels.” “I think it’s worth a try.” “…” The teacher stared at him for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said, “I can’t make the decision on this; I have to report it to the academy.” [The teacher reported my choice to the academy higher-ups.] [After a long time, the teacher returned.] In the office.
The teacher looked at Sun Moon Lin Qing with a somewhat complicated expression.
“The academy…
has agreed.” “But!” He emphasized his tone.
“You will bear all consequences yourself.” “If the absorption fails, at best you’ll be heavily injured with a damaged Spirit; at worst…
your life might be gone.” Sun Moon Lin Qing nodded.
“I understand.” [I understand that the Sun Moon Royal Academy doesn’t value me that much; after all, I’m just a commoner with some talent.
But if I succeed, things will become different.] [The teacher took me and set off for the outskirts of the Extreme North Land.] A World of ice and snow.
The cold wind howled.
A small team of five moved quickly across the snowy plains.
Soon, they found an Ice Worm.
Its whole body was crystal clear, about a meter long, crawling sluggishly through the snow.
It was indeed very weak.
The teacher knocked it unconscious with a casual spirit tool ray.
“Finish it.” The teacher looked at Sun Moon Lin Qing.
Sun Moon Lin Qing took a deep breath, stepped forward, and brought his blade down.
The Ice Worm died.
A purple spirit ring, representing a millennium age, appeared.
[After killing the Ice Worm, I began to absorb this thousand-year spirit ring, though it was indeed more difficult to absorb than I had anticipated.] “Ugh!” Sun Moon Lin Qing grunted.
His face turned pale instantly, and his body began to shake violently.
“Not good!” The teacher’s expression changed.
He quickly pulled a silver-white cylinder from his robe.
A spirit tool milk bottle!
This thing could store a large amount of spirit power for replenishment at any time.
“Hold on!” The teacher pressed the milk bottle against Sun Moon Lin Qing’s back.
Pure spirit power was continuously funneled in, helping him resist the spirit ring’s impact.
Time passed minute by minute.
Sun Moon Lin Qing’s trembling gradually subsided.
The frost melted, and the purple spirit ring slowly merged into his body.
[Luckily, I actually succeeded.] The narrator’s voice held a hint of relief.
Sun Moon Lin Qing opened his eyes.
His spirit power fluctuations were noticeably stronger; the testing crystal lit up—level fourteen, he had jumped four levels!
“This…” The real-World Lin Qing was dumbfounded.
“He actually made it?” Even though the Ice Worm was weak, it was still a thousand-year spirit ring!
Starting with a millennium level for the first spirit ring…
“Is this guy’s luck a bit too good?” He began to wonder if this Sun Moon Lin Qing also had some hidden “cheat”?
Otherwise, how could it be explained?
Could it be…
truly just because the Ice Worm was too weak?
[However, unfortunately, I didn’t get the Spirit Ability I wanted most, Spiritual Detection.] The narrator’s voice pulled Lin Qing’s thoughts back.
In the image, Sun Moon Lin Qing was testing his new Spirit Ability.
The Heavenly Eye at his brow opened.
The spirit ring lit up.
Then…
his appearance began to blur.
Color and outline shifted rapidly, and in a few seconds, he “became” his teacher.
Even the clothes and temperament were exactly the same.
Of course, this was just how it looked; in reality, it was still him.
[First Spirit Ability—Simulation.
It can change one’s appearance, aura, and even the color of spirit rings.] [It’s not the Spiritual Detection I wanted most, nor is it Spiritual Sharing.] “After all, it was just an ordinary Ice Worm, not a million-year level like the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm…
being given ‘Simulation’ is already pretty good.” Lin Qing grumbled slightly.
Huo the Cheater’s Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing were bestowed by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, not just any Ice Worm.
It could only be said that an Ice Worm and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were two completely different things; the difference lay in those million years of cultivation.
Even if the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a million-year Spirit Beast with zero combat power, its mental force and the Spirit abilities it gave were legitimately powerful.
The next second, the narrator’s voice suddenly became excited.
[However, I also gained an unexpected surprise!] [My Spirit, the ‘Heavenly Eye’, seemed to undergo some kind of change after absorbing this thousand-year spirit ring.] In the image, the vision before Sun Moon Lin Qing’s eyes changed.
Everything, even the falling snowflakes, seemed to…
slow down in his eyes.
[My Spirit awakened a talent Spirit Ability—Lagging Vision!] [As long as I activate ‘Lagging Vision’, everything I see will become’slow’.] [It’s not that they are actually slower, but that the speed at which my eyes receive and process information has significantly increased!
This gives me more time to observe, analyze, and react.] (End of Chapter) CREATORS’ THOUGHTS RinBlaze If you’re enjoying this novel, don’t forget to bookmark it and vote as much as you can!
