Chapter 217  : Chapter 217  : Promotion! Spiritual Power of the Dark Gold Late stage!

This was a method Lin Zhen had thought of early on. As long as he wrapped himself in liquid metal, those leeches would be helpless against him.

If there were some strange fish in the water, this method would definitely not work, as the thin layer of liquid metal would not be able to protect Lin Zhen.

But it was no problem for the leeches. Their means were limited to suckers, bloodsucking, and paralysis, without sharp teeth or claws. They could not break through Lin Zhen’s liquid metal protective layer.

He had just thought of this method not long ago, and he didn’t expect it to come in handy so soon.

As his body sank into the lake, he seemed to hear Hansen shouting excitedly on the shore.

Hansen was indeed furious. He didn’t expect Lin Zhen to enter the water, making it impossible for him to pursue.

However, as an assassin, and a professionally trained one at that, Hansen wouldn’t easily give up until he saw Lin Zhen dead or had some evidence to prove it.

He saw Lin Zhen entering the water and using the liquid metal to protect himself, but he believed that it wouldn’t last for long.

“Eastern kid, your metal eggshell won’t protect you for long. There’s limited air inside, and it can only sustain you for half a day. As a War God, you can use your Dantian Qi for internal breathing, but even that is not infinite. At most, you can stay underwater for three days. When you have to surface, that will be your moment of death, either at my hands or those disgusting creatures!”

Hansen stood on the shore, shouting for a while but received no response. Eventually, he found it boring and simply set up camp on the shore.

He took out his tent and food, determined to stay put and wait for the moment when Lin Zhen could no longer hold his breath and would have to surface.

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, didn’t care about his antics. After entering the water, the leeches gradually dispersed and returned to hiding beneath the lotus leaves. Lin Zhen quietly changed the shape of the liquid metal.

He turned the liquid metal into a diving suit, covering his entire body without any gaps, which could effectively resist the suckers of the leeches.

No longer an eggshell, the liquid metal no longer had buoyancy, and Lin Zhen continued to sink, quickly reaching the bottom of Lotus Lake.

The water here wasn’t extremely deep, only about twenty or thirty meters. However, the area of the water was quite large, and it was pitch black underwater.

Lin Zhen made the liquid metal in front of his eyes thin and nearly transparent, then used his night vision to search the bottom of Lotus Lake. freewebnovel.c om

“Although this lake is not small, it pales in comparison to Lake Heart Tree. As long as the special meteorite is here, I will definitely find it.”

“I can now use Dantian Qi for internal breathing, which should be enough for me to last three days underwater. That’s more than enough time.”

Due to the presence of leeches, there were no other fish in the lake. Sometimes, giant leeches swam past Lin Zhen without giving him a second glance, making him feel at ease.

He began a systematic search, churning through different areas of the lake.

He searched almost all the stones in the water until the second night when Lin Zhen finally found the target of his trip.

A golden-purple stone, located in the northeast direction of Lotus Lake, buried in the mud.

“I found it! I finally found it!”

Holding the stone, Lin Zhen was extremely excited. This was the meteorite, the one with the power to stimulate spiritual power growth within!

Even after the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations, this kind of thing was cherished and taken away, so the spiritual power it contained must be extraordinary.

Lin Zhen held the meteorite and slowly let the liquid metal spread outwards, enclosing the meteorite gradually until it was in front of his chest.

Once again turning the liquid metal into a large ball, Lin Zhen sat cross-legged inside and formed two hooks at the bottom of the sphere, hooking it to a rock to prevent it from floating up. “My current spiritual power is at the Dark Gold Early Stage, and there’s still a considerable distance to the Middle Stage. I wonder how far this treasured meteorite, valued by extraterrestrial civilizations, can boost my spiritual power.”

“Even if it’s not much, I’ll definitely see some growth. As long as my spiritual power surpasses Hansen, I will no longer fear his mental shock, and his advantage will be gone.”

“Assassinating me… comes at a price.”

Lin Zhen thought as he placed the meteorite on his chest.

After adjusting his breath, he felt that his internal breathing could last him more than a day, which should be enough.

“Let’s begin. After all the effort I’ve put in, show me how much energy you have.”

A strand of spiritual power slowly seeped into the meteorite, and Lin Zhen’s mind suddenly filled with a different sight.

It was almost like a vast starry sky, with dark gold light shining all around, occasionally flickering with starlight. The moment Lin Zhen’s spiritual power entered, he couldn’t help but let out a satisfied moan.

“Ah! Such powerful spiritual energy, this is like a superb tonic for Spiritual Mind Masters!”

“It seems that this meteorite really gave me a huge surprise. If I absorb all of this energy, my spiritual power will definitely break through the Early Stage.”

Without any hesitation, Lin Zhen’s spiritual power acted like a greedy snake, swallowing the ubiquitous spiritual energy in large gulps.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was like a whirlpool, and the spiritual power inside the meteorite was like a vast lake. The water began to spin and pour into Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

“This feels amazing! This is power! This is Spiritual Power! I can feel my spiritual power increase at an unprecedented rate!”

In less than an hour, Lin Zhen suddenly felt as if something had broken inside his head, and his mind suddenly cleared!

“I’ve advanced! I actually advanced, haha, how long has it been? I actually advanced from Dark Gold Early Stage to Dark Gold Middle Stage!”

At this moment, the spiritual power within the meteorite doesn’t seem to be reduced by much.

If Lin Zhen were to go out now, his spiritual power would surpass that of Hansen on the shore. However, he was not in a hurry to move. He was determined to absorb all the Spiritual Power from the meteorite before leaving.

If it could be said that advancing from the Dark Gold Early Stage to the Dark Gold Late Stage requires a total of one hundred small squares of spiritual power, then Lin Zhen would increase by one small square every ten minutes.

After entering the Dark Gold Middle Stage, his absorption speed further accelerated. Three hours later, he had progressed about 20% on the path to Dark Gold Middle Stage!

“Come on, come on, Lin Zhen, maybe you can advance to the mid-stage peak today. Only then will you be able to defeat the foreigner on the shore and be competitive in the War God’s Knockout!”

After six hours, Lin Zhen’s spiritual power has reached half of the Dark Gold Middle Stage, and the spiritual power within the meteorite has finally decreased by about half.

Ten hours passed, and Lin Zhen’s spiritual power surged again, reaching three-quarters of the Dark Gold Middle Stage, and the spiritual power within the meteorite was now nearly exhausted.

“It’s almost over. It should be dawn outside by now, and the spiritual power in this meteorite should almost be completely absorbed by me. I’m almost certain I can reach the mid-stage peak, but it’s hard to say if I’ll advance to the Dark

Gold Late Stage.”

“If I can advance to Dark Gold Late Stage, then within the War God Realm, I would fear nobody in terms of spiritual power. Dongfang Jun, such a powerful man, has only just reached the Dark Gold Middle Stage.”

“Even if there are some outstanding geniuses in other countries, their spiritual power will definitely not surpass me, and it would be almost impossible for them to be on par with me.”

Although Lin Zhen was excited in his heart, his absorption of spiritual power had not stopped at all.

Gradually, the golden spiritual power within Lin Zhen’s Spiritual

Consciousness Sea was slowly shrinking, and the power of Dark Gold had now surpassed that of Gold.

Twelve hours later, Lin Zhen’s spiritual power reached the peak of the Dark Gold Middle Stage. “Just a little bit more, just a little bit more! A little more spiritual power and I can break through! ”

Lin Zhen’s spiritual power seemed like a giant snake devouring the heavens and the earth, trying to absorb all the energy it could from the meteorite.

The remaining spiritual power had nowhere to hide and was all absorbed by Lin Zhen!

“Boom!”

Finally, another expansion began within Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea. The dark gold aura had already occupied two-thirds of the space!

Dark Gold Late Stage!

“Such a strong power, really strong power! Generally speaking, those who possess Dark Gold Late Stage spiritual power must be Spiritual Mind Masters above the Star Realm, but I have it now!”

‘My internal energy is almost depleted, I must leave immediately. I’m leaving now! ”

Lin Zhen discarded the completely useless meteorite and kicked off the bottom of the lake, instantly rising over a dozen meters, enveloped in liquid metal.

Teleport!

Lin Zhen, now in the Dark Gold Late Stage, teleported directly out for a hundred meters and reached the sky above!

Hansen, who had been waiting on the shore for three days and was growing impatient, did not even notice Lin Zhen coming out. He was focused on the surface of the water and the fifty meters above the surface, not expecting Lin Zhen to teleport out directly for a hundred meters.

Lin Zhen looked at the impatient Hansen on the shore, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and spread his arms, swooping down like a gray falcon.

As Lin Zhen approached, he opened his hand and covered the mental defense-type Star Artifact on Hansen’s neck.

“This necklace is nice, I’ll be taking it!”

Hearing Lin Zhen’s voice almost directly above his head, Hansen felt his soul escaping and broke out in a cold sweat.

He had no idea how Lin Zhen got out but instinctively launched a mental shock.

“You’ve finally come out to die, Eastern boy!”

“Boom!”

This time, the mental defense Star Artifact did not fully protect him, and the vast difference between the two made him feel an intense uproar in his mind.

Then, he felt a chill on his neck as the Star Artifact necklace fell into Lin Zhen’s hand.

As his body landed, Lin Zhen slowly tucked the necklace into his clothes.

“As a Westerner, have you ever experienced the taste of having a mental shock attack by others through the power of this necklace?”

“1…1…1. ..

“You don’t need to know, now let you taste the upgraded version of mental shock – Soul Lock!”

Lin Zhen looked at the dumbfounded Hansen, and suddenly his eyes condensed, a powerful spiritual force howled out!

The impact of this Soul Lock was so strong that even the air produced a violent flow, causing Hansen’s face to be momentarily pulled backward, making his still handsome face incredibly ugly..
