The ten thousand years Whale Glue, you’ve finally arrived!
21: Chapter 21.
The ten thousand years Whale Glue, you’ve finally arrived!
A massive explosion occurred at the gates of Suotuo City.
Inside a secluded alley within Suotuo City.
“Hum!” The air distorted slightly.
An old woman dressed in rags appeared out of thin air.
Her figure began to change in the blink of an eye.
Her height shortened, and her physique became thinner.
Her facial features shifted, and her wrinkles vanished.
In just three seconds, the old woman disappeared.
Taking her place was a black-haired, blue-eyed boy who looked only eight years old—Lin Qing.
He let out a long breath and wiped away the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
“It’s a success…” Engaging in such arson and murder was truly thrilling; his heart was still pounding wildly.
That series of operations just now seemed simple, but it was actually fraught with danger; a single mistake would have meant eternal damnation.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
He walked to the mouth of the alley and glanced toward the city gates.
He could still see black smoke rising in the distance and hear the faint sounds of chaos.
But that no longer had anything to do with him.
He turned and blended into the flow of people on the street, his pace composed, as if he were just an ordinary child out for a stroll.
No one would suspect that the explosion that shocked the entire city was orchestrated by this child.
[Ding!] The cold System notification sounded in his mind.
Lin Qing’s footsteps paused.
A smile slowly curled at the corners of his mouth.
[You have completed the last wish of the 6-year-old Lin Qing: Kill Viscount Priest!] [Obtained legacy: “Melted Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue” x5!] “It’s mine…” Lin Qing murmured softly, an excited light flickering in his eyes.
Five pieces of ten thousand year whale glue.
With these, his physical fitness would undergo a qualitative leap!
Absorbing the five-thousand-five-hundred-year Silver Beast spirit ring would no longer be a major problem!
“However, I can’t be in a hurry right now.” He suppressed the urge to immediately take out the whale glue and consume it.
An explosion just happened in the city; it must be in total chaos.
The City Defense Army would increase patrols and search for suspicious individuals.
At this time, if he suddenly “disappeared” for a few days to absorb the whale glue, it might attract attention.
“Go home first and wait for the heat to die down.” Lin Qing quickened his pace toward the small courtyard he rented.
His figure disappeared around the street corner.
Behind him, the chaos outside the city continued.
…
Three days later.
The Suotuo City Lord’s Mansion released an official announcement.
Regarding the case of Viscount Priest’s assassination, the investigation had reached a “preliminary conclusion.” The announcement was written grandiosely with rigorous wording.
The gist was: It has been determined that the murderer is an unidentified old woman who used unknown explosives to attack the Viscount’s carriage.
Currently, the old woman is wanted city-wide, and those with clues can report them for a generous reward.
The announcement was posted all over the city’s bulletin boards, attracting many commoners to watch.
“Tsk tsk, even a Viscount could be blown to death in the middle of the street…” “I heard he died a miserable death, not even a whole corpse was left.” “Serves him right!
That old thing wasn’t a good person!” “Shh!
Lower your voice!
Do you want to die?” The whispers were rustling, but they were quickly dispersed by the City Defense Army.
After all, a noble had died; appearances had to be maintained.
As for whether the real culprit could be caught…
that was another matter.
…
South City Courtyard.
Lin Qing closed the doors and windows and drew the curtains; the light in the room became dim.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, with three pieces of dark red gelatinous substance placed in front of him.
ten thousand year whale glue.
Each piece emitted a warm luster and a faint, strange fragrance.
Just smelling it made one’s whole body feel hot.
“Three pieces…
should be enough.” Lin Qing murmured to himself.
He picked up the first piece and swallowed it.
“Boom!” A searing warm current instantly exploded within his body!
It was ten times more intense than thousand-year whale Glue!
His skin surface instantly turned red, and his veins bulged one by one, as if flames were burning in his blood.
But Lin Qing gritted his teeth and endured it, his meditation technique running at full power as his Soul Power guided that violent energy to strengthen every cell in his body.
Muscles reorganized amidst tearing.
Bones were reborn amidst breaking.
His internal organs were undergoing an earth-shattering transformation.
Half an hour later.
The energy of the first piece of whale glue was finally fully absorbed.
Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
That breath actually carried a faint fishy-sweet scent.
“Again!” He did not stop.
He picked up the second piece and swallowed it.
The violent energy surged in.
This time, the intensity of the transformation was slightly weaker.
Another half hour passed.
The second piece was fully absorbed.
Lin Qing felt that his body had already strengthened to a completely new level.
Strength, speed, endurance…
an all-around improvement.
“The last piece…” After a long time— “Whew…” Lin Qing let out a long breath.
He slowly opened his eyes.
A flash of sharp light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
“I’ve reached the limit.” He clenched his fists, his knuckles making a crisp “crack” sound, as he felt the surging power within his body.
“Three pieces of ten thousand year whale glue; the effect is pretty much at the limit.
Any more wouldn’t be of much use.” His current physical fitness, Lin Qing estimated.
“At the very least, it’s comparable to an average Spirit Ancestor.” This improvement was massive.
Originally, he was only a Level 20 Spirit Grandmaster.
Although his physical fitness had been strengthened by thousand-year whale Glue, it was only stronger than those of the same level.
But now, with three pieces of ten thousand year whale glue in his stomach.
His physical strength had directly leaped across two major Realms!
“Absorbing the five-thousand-five-hundred-year spirit ring should be no problem now.” He stood up and stretched his muscles and bones.
His joints popped all over his body, like a sleeping beast waking up.
After making his preparations.
Lin Qing sat down cross-legged again.
He first checked the doors and windows again to make sure they were all sealed tight, ensuring no one would suddenly barge in.
Then, he took out the five-thousand-five-hundred-year Silver Beast spirit ring from the Legacy Space!
The deep purple was so rich it looked like it could drip water.
The halo rotated slowly, and the phantom of the Silver Beast could be vaguely seen inside.
Immediately after, Lin Qing placed the Gold of Life on his left and the Rank 7 soul tool milk bottle on his right.
He was fully prepared.
His Soul Power reached out, slowly drawing toward that purple halo.
“Hum!” The spirit ring was drawn, and it jolted violently.
It turned into a streak of light and instantly merged into Lin Qing’s body!
“Boom!” The violent energy exploded like a mountain torrent!
It was even more fierce than imagined!
“Ugh!” Lin Qing let out a muffled groan.
His internal organs felt like they were being crushed by a heavy hammer!
“As expected, exceeding the limit by this much isn’t that easy.” Lin Qing gritted his teeth.
Blood had already begun to seep from the corners of his mouth.
But he did not panic.
His left hand grabbed the Gold of Life.
A warm aura of life flooded into his body, quickly repairing his damaged cells.
His right hand gripped the Rank 7 milk bottle.
Pure Soul Power was continuously injected, helping him resist the impact of the spirit ring.
Destruction, repair.
Destruction again, repair again.
This process was incredibly painful, like being subjected to the death of a thousand cuts.
Every second was a torment.
But Lin Qing held on deathly hard.
His consciousness remained clear throughout.
Once he passed out, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he might even die.
“Hold…
on…” He chanted in his heart.
Time became incredibly long; every minute felt like a century.
Sweat not only soaked his entire body.
Even a large puddle of water had unknowingly accumulated on the floor, mixed with streaks of blood.
It was a shocking sight.
