After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 121 Strange Spiritual Energy
Based on his current performance, strength, personality, and influence within the team, Lin Zhao is superior to him.

Zou Zihan naturally changed her address for her from "junior" to "fellow student."

He wasn't a narrow-minded person; on the contrary, he was more eager to be directed and not take on this important task.

Previously, there was no suitable candidate who could be accepted by the masses, but now that there is, Zou Zihan is naturally willing to step down.

Lin Zhao looked around and, after confirming that no one had any objections, did not refuse and said directly, "Then this captain position belongs to me, Lin Zhao. If anyone is dissatisfied, feel free to come and fight."

She did indeed mean that this time. If she wanted to stabilize the resources of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, she would feel more at ease if she kept the South China Sea Academy team under her control.

She was wondering how to bring it up when Zou Zihan gave up her seat.

But Lin Zhao, who took over the team, understood very well that even with him, the South China Sea Academy was now just a group of three powerful figures in name only, without any real power. Any one of the Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators at the Yuan Yang Hui level could easily destroy them.

The best course of action now is to improve the overall strength of the team.

She took out the Wood Source Crystal and said, "Here is the Wood Source Crystal I found. Those of the Wood attribute can use it to improve their cultivation. Cultivators of other attributes, please come with me to find source crystals of other attributes to improve our cultivation. Before the Source Spirit Land appears, we need to raise our overall strength to at least a position that is no less than the other two."

After all, among the Four Continents Alliance, Lan Yingying is currently known to be at the Yuan Yang Hui level of Great Perfection, and Zhu Che is at the Kai Yang Hui level. The other two continents likely also have Yuan Yang Hui level Great Perfection members. When it comes to a real fight, it will be a battle of these high-end combatants.

The South China Sea Academy is at a significant disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power.

Even if the Thunder Palace and the Yin-Yang Palace helped stabilize the position of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, the South Sea Academy itself could not maintain its status.

Under such circumstances, Lin Zhao could only be forced to obtain the Source Crystal to bring out himself and at least another Golden Core expert at the Yuan Yang Hui level.

After these wood source crystals appeared, the people of the South China Sea looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zou Zihan's expression was complicated. Finally, she let out a long sigh of relief and gave Lin Zhao a thumbs up.

He's been in Tianhuangyuan for so long, and he's either being schemed against or on his way to being schemed against. As a result, Penglai Holy Land, which was originally with them, was driven away by Zhang Tao, and they themselves fell into enemy hands.

Lin Zhao turned the tables and took the initiative as soon as she returned, something he could never have done.

"But before that, there's someone else we need to deal with." Lin Zhao looked at Zhang Tao, whose eyes were filled with longing as he looked at Mu Yuanjing.

Zhang Tao possessed both water and wood spiritual roots, so he could naturally utilize these wood source crystals. Meeting Lin Zhao's gaze, Zhang Tao immediately said, "Captain, spare my life! Let me make amends..."

Lin Zhao walked up to him, his gaze falling on his still heaving chest. Seeing his brother, with whom he had spent every day, lying on the ground begging for mercy in such a sorry state, Zou Zihan couldn't help but say, "Although what he did was wrong this time, we need manpower right now. Let's remember his mistake for now and let the academy punish him when we get back."

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, and a beam of light pierced through Zhang Tao's chest.

Blood splattered everywhere as Zhang Tao fell to the ground, a fawning smile still on his face before he died.

Lin Zhao searched him and found the Heavenly Mirror, then threw it to Zou Zihan, who looked stunned: "Take a look at his transactions with people from other continents on the Heavenly Mirror."

Zou Zihan took the document with some skepticism. After opening it and seeing his own location and the conditions offered by the other side, he instantly became breathless. Even with his good nature, he felt that Zhang Tao's death was not a pity.

"How did the captain find out?" Su Yuchang asked, frowning.

"The reason I was able to find you so quickly is because I captured someone from the Golden Crow Continent before, and he told me this in order to save his own life."

After unleashing the spiritual fire and burning Zhang Tao's corpse to nothingness, Lin Zhao turned to the others in the group: "If there are any traitors, Zhang Tao is the example."

Under her slightly cold gaze, the previously listless top ten students from the outer courtyard tensed up. They weren't fools; it was obvious to the naked eye that Lin Zhao was far more intimidating and powerful than Zou Zihan.

However, no one dared to question her.

Whether it was her decisiveness in killing Zhang Tao or her generosity in taking out such a large quantity of Wood Source Crystals.

Lin Zhao led his men to the area around the ancient tree and set up an array.

Four people in the South China Sea Academy team have the aptitude of wood spirit roots. These four people have been improving their cultivation here with the help of wood source crystals, while the other nine people have gone with Lin Zhao to find source crystals of other attributes.

With Lin Zhao's formation in place, unless a master in the Fusion stage arrives, as long as they don't do anything reckless, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Lin Zhao said, "Most of us still have fire spirit roots. My suggestion is that we go find the fire source crystal first, what do you think?"

The others exchanged glances and nodded.

"As the captain commands."

Let them decide; they don't know where to look for advice.

Lin Zhao didn't actually know how to find these source crystals, but she had a map!
This was given to her by Senior Gu Mu before she left; the different colored dots on it represent the location of the Source Crystal.

Of course, most of the source crystals that can appear on the map are of low to medium quality. High-quality source crystals can sense danger and change their location on their own.

As for the Origin Spirit Vein, it goes without saying that it is hidden deep underground and cannot be found at all. It will only appear when a battle breaks out in the world that is enough to alarm them.

Even so, the low- to mid-grade source crystals were enough to give hope to the students of Nanhai Academy who had been suffering setbacks.

Led by Lin Zhao, everyone headed towards the Fire Cloud Mountains, which were pointed to in the east on the map.

The closer they got to that area, the higher the temperature seemed to rise. By the time they reached the location indicated on the map, apart from those with fire elemental roots, the other South Sea disciples were drenched in sweat.

"Why is it so hot?" Su Yuchang couldn't help but complain.

Beside him stood Tang Haochen, a female disciple with a high ponytail. As the tenth-ranked disciple in the outer courtyard, she was extremely sensitive to her surroundings. At this moment, she gently exhaled to dissipate heat: "Moreover, this heat seems to be burning our spiritual energy?"

Mingyue, whose cultivation level was the lowest, was already pale and swaying precariously.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao cast a protective shield around her, which saved Mingyue.

Mingyue's spiritual root is a mutated spiritual root, but its essence leans towards the water element. In this place where the fire element is abundant, it is just right to restrain her ability.

Seeing that the others without fire elemental roots also looked rather unwell, Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes.

Normally, abundant fire spiritual energy shouldn't harm cultivators with other elemental roots, so there must be something strange about this Fire Cloud Mountain Range.

Could it be because of the Fire Crystal hidden here?
With this question in mind, Lin Zhao closed his eyes, inhaled a wisp of the fire spiritual energy here, and circulated the Phoenix Vein Technique.

The next moment, a strange reaction within his body made Lin Zhao's eyes widen.

This fire elemental energy is actually burning away the spiritual energy within my body?!
