My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 334 It's anxious
The moment the word "rebirth" is uttered, it's already a kind of showdown...

But without a doubt, this is a good thing.

Xia Lin and Xia Tian looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Xia Lin stepped forward, sat down next to Xia Tian, ​​and spoke slowly in a relaxed tone.

When did the change occur?

Xia Tian replied softly, "After the fourth rank."

He sighed again and added, "But the fourth rank is a deceptive lie."

……

In the battle against deception, Di Yun was defeated.

Don't be fooled by his already miserable end; things could get even worse...

"My method of resurrection was a scam."

Xia Lin already knew Di Yun's method of resurrection—reincarnating as a citizen of the Inner World, rebuilding his martial arts and regaining control of his physical body.

"But fraud altered the personality preferences of my reincarnated form."

"He doesn't like martial arts, but instead goes after all this art stuff."

When Xia Tian said this, her expression was a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Even if the reincarnated person has no memories, their personality will inevitably be the same as in their previous life.

As an eleventh-level martial artist, Di Yun would never have reached this level if he hadn't been so devoted to and deeply passionate about martial arts.

As a result of fraud, Di Yun's reincarnation went astray...

This small alteration brought disastrous consequences for Di Yun.

Xia Lin nodded in understanding.

"Without a passion for martial arts, and without a considerable degree of love and perseverance, it is impossible to cultivate to the fourth rank."

Don't be fooled by Xia Lin's easy breakthrough to the fourth rank; he was standing on Black Star's shoulders.

Judging from the overall strength of the Eight Guardian Ashes District, no matter how good your talent is, you will find it difficult to reach the fourth rank without a heart for martial arts.

"Furthermore, without your appearance, even if my cultivation reaches the fourth rank, it would be meaningless."

Xia Tian spoke again: "Because of the betrayal of the inner world, I had to transfer my remnant soul to the weaker inner world, which is the Eight Guardian World."

"When I was reborn, there was no martial arts in this world. It was still in a primitive era. I reincarnated for ninety-six lifetimes before the Eight Guardian Sword Clan found the key by chance and left this world to bring back the martial arts cultivation method from outside."

"But this martial arts training method was fraudulently emasculated, and this incident also revealed the fact that my reincarnated body is in the Eight Guardian World."

After saying that, he turned to Xia Lin and said, "Don't be fooled by how smoothly our previous outings went. That was because they thought they had everything under control."

"Putting everything else aside, just the original owners of those boundary cores you brought back are enough to give this reincarnated body a hard time."

"Once I leave this realm with my fourth-rank strength and the deception is discovered, only death awaits me."

Thus, the situation has become the current passive stalemate.

Due to Di Yun's arrangements before his death, deception could not penetrate the Eight Guardian World.

However, because the martial arts of this world were emasculated by fraud, Di Yun's reincarnation was unable to cultivate any decent skills and was completely locked in the Eight Guardian World.

You can't get in, and I can't get out.

That's where the awkwardness lies.

“If this continues, fraud will inevitably prevail in the end, because I really have no power to fight back.”

At this point, Xia Tian smiled at Xia Lin: "But with your arrival, my luck has also arrived."

Without Xia Lin bringing the correct path to martial arts, and without the resources in Xia Lin's personal space, Xia Tian would have had a hard time becoming a fourth-rank martial artist.

"Moreover, the fission technique you gave me has an invisible but perfect fit for my current state."

At this point, Xia Tian sighed.

“Every Fission variant possesses a wisp of my soul, and every time you kill one of my Fission variants, that wisp of soul, because they share the same origin, will merge with my former physical body.”

"And now, I can even subtly control my body and do some interesting things."

He emphasized the word "interesting" and winked at Xia Lin.

Xia Lin then smiled.

Now, he finally realized the root cause of why he had been repeatedly scammed.

—His cheap older brother had started working with him.

"So, Ash Walker, what is your main quest?"

The summer that brought back memories revealed Xia Lin's origins in a single sentence.

That's not surprising.

Xia Lin said, "Find you and resolve your predicament before the mission deadline."

Xia Tian raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Lin: "Then you're quite strong. In the evaluation of the Ash Zone System, you've even made it to the level eleven competition."

Xia Lin smiled but didn't say anything.

His strength is certainly not bad. If you put all the cards together, he will definitely be able to participate in the eleventh-level competition—the main prize is on Scarlett.

Seeing Xia Lin's smile, Xia Tian nodded knowingly: "If you really have this ability, this task won't be difficult for you."

Of course it won't be difficult.

The difficulty of this Ember Zone mainly lies in the early stages of using the identity substitution card to obtain an identity—breaking through the puzzle while one's strength is sealed is an extremely difficult test.

After Xia Lin completed the preliminary steps almost perfectly, he laid a very strong foundation for what followed.

With the return of summer, the difficulty of main quests/completion missions should drop dramatically.

Xia Tian added, "There are two options, and these two options can be implemented simultaneously."

"First, continue to help me improve my martial arts cultivation! If my reincarnation can achieve the first rank, then I am confident that I can reclaim my inner world and use my former inner world as nourishment to regain the super-rank level! And it won't take long."

This is actually Di Yun's resurrection plan—reincarnation and rebirth.

The plan had originally fallen apart halfway through, but Xia Lin's appearance made it possible to execute again.

Xia Lin nodded, indicating that it was very simple.

With the Boundary Cores I got from the fraudsters, I should be able to gather enough resources.

"And the second one is our little collaboration from before."

“You died outside with my Fission variant, and that wisp of soul within the Fission variant will merge with my former body… I don’t know what the final result will be, but I think it is indeed feasible to continue.”

The outcome is unknown.

But as things stand, this is a good thing, so there's no reason not to continue.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin gasped.

This combination of positive and negative internal and external factors suggests that the fraudsters are about to face severe consequences...

But it's good that it's suffering; it's because it's suffering that Xia Lin can make even more money!
"By the way, there's one more thing."

As Xia Tian said this, she turned to look at Xia Lin.

Xia Tian sighed inexplicably as her gaze swept over Xia Lin's familiar face.

"Please, grant my younger brother a few decades of life..."

Having guessed Xia Lin's identity as a Ash District Walker, Xia Tian naturally realized that Xia Lin had used an identity substitution card.

The eleventh-level martial artists in the main universe, whose martial arts experience is not much weaker than Black Star's, can naturally see the advantages and disadvantages of the Hundred Losses Demon Art.

Xia Lin was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Don't worry, it won't be less than his theoretical lifespan limit."

The original Xia Lin (the body's original owner) was probably only able to live to be around fifty years old because she had gone into a state of demonic possession.

Xia Lin made a promise that after he left, Xia Lin (the original owner of the body) would still be able to retain this lifespan.

Xia Tian sighed deeply, but then Xia Lin asked in return.

"But now, are you more like Di Yun, or more like Xia Tian?"

Summer said earnestly, "Living in the present is the most important thing."

Xia Lin chuckled and tapped Xia Tian on the shoulder: "There's really no need to put it so elegantly..."

The remnant soul is reborn and given a second life.

Nature is the most important thing right now.

……

In the main universe, in the uninhabited deep space, beside Di Yun's corpse.

The three deceitful figures discussed for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Di Yun's corpse.

But they are by no means fools who forget their mistakes.

Amidst the flowing black light, the deceitful clone of the Qilin demon clan had transformed into a vast black sea, which settled on the surface of Di Yun's corpse, covering him entirely like a black membrane.

This time, I will subtly infiltrate my consciousness to personally uncover Di Yun's secret!

As the voice rang out, the other robot and the dwarf clone both slowly nodded.

With No. 28 personally entering the arena, and No. 13 and No. 7 overseeing things outside, even if Di Yun were to come back from the dead, the current lineup would be enough to rival Di Yun.

Half a month later, after the Qilin clone known as No. 28 infiltrated into Di Yun's corpse.

Xia Lin and Xia Tian's variant reappeared in front of Di Yun's heart.

Meanwhile, in the Eight Guardian World, Xia Tian's golden light receded, indicating that he had already reached the third rank and condensed a golden body.

Before Di Yun's heart, Xia Lin followed the procedure that had been repeated countless times and slowly opened his mouth.

"This is the person you've been looking for."

The blood essence slowly glowed in Xia Lin's hand, reflecting the summer sun.

And the first reaction of the same person to the same situation will always be the same.

Just like a fraudulent clone that has been tricked multiple times without realizing it!
The blood and qi circulated within his heart, transforming into the figure of "Di Yun".

He looked at Xia Tian and smiled with satisfaction.

"You did a great job, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black light surged impatiently into Xia Tian's body.

At the same time, the Spirit Book around Xia Tian's neck flashed again, and its power quickly absorbed all the power of the Deceitful Evil God.

However, this time, the cycle is finally a little different.

A roar suddenly rang out, and Xia Lin even felt his soul tremble.

Then, amidst the interplay of light and black light from the Spirit Realm Book, a Qilin-shaped afterimage suddenly broke free from its pull and flew rapidly into the distance.

Its speed was so fast that even Xia Lin couldn't react in time!

Suddenly, a thunderous tremor arose from the surrounding flesh and tissue.

The roaring blood energy surged like a tidal wave, blocking the phantom of the Qilin. However, it was clear that the flow of this blood energy was extremely stiff and could not stop the phantom of the Qilin in the slightest!

In the current summer, they can only control Di Yun's corpse and remaining power to a limited extent.

Everything happened incredibly fast!

Then a sudden exclamation rang out, causing the phantom of the Qilin to turn around: "Wait, what's going on now?"

It was Xia Lin's voice.

The sound caused the phantom of the Qilin to stop and look back, where it saw Xia Lin standing there with a blank expression.

After a moment's thought, the phantom of the Qilin roared once more.

A black halo of light gushed from its mouth. Just as Xia Lin was about to defend himself, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Observations revealed that this black energy did not conceal any malice.

He stood there, letting the black light fall on him.

A notification tone sounded in my ear instantly.

[You have received the gift of fraud: presence fraud.]

[Presence Deception (Racial Heritage Level Buff): After gaining this buff, your presence disappears completely, making you difficult for other beings to perceive.]

[Unstable mutation in effect.]

Xia Lin, however, simply chose not to mutate.

He merely glanced back at Xia Tian and saw Xia Tian nod slightly at him. His flesh and blood instantly disintegrated, and he self-destructed on the spot. However, thanks to the energy interference from the self-destruction, the Spirit World Book silently returned to Xia Lin's hands.

After carefully hiding the Spirit World Book, Xia Lin stood there in a daze, pretending to be at a loss.

But she was secretly overjoyed.

Because of that brief glimpse, the Deceptive Power in the Spirit World Book has already reached 3264 points!
The nearly doubled figures indicate that fraud has already fallen into their trap.

……

outside world.

The black ocean surrounding Di Yun's body suddenly boiled, and the phantom of the Qilin broke free from Di Yun's corpse, merged into the black ocean, and quickly transformed into its true form.

It turned to look at numbers 7 and 13 and nodded emphatically.

Repeated mechanical sounds emanated from its mouth.

The root cause of the problem has been found.

[Di Yun's remnant soul has a hidden trick up his sleeve; he possesses a treasure that can devour our power. This must be the fundamental reason why the previous node disappeared.]

Number 7 and Number 13 exchanged a glance.

[Di Yun's remnant soul actually possesses this item? He didn't demonstrate such a skill when he fought us before.]

#28: [It's probably something that Di Yun's remnant soul created himself.]

Number 7: [That's not important anymore. The key question is, given the current situation, how should we proceed?]

13th: [Report this matter to the main body.]

28th: ​​[This is only one aspect; even if the main body is aware of this, it is still us who are doing the work.]

The organisms in the colony may appear to be separate, but in reality they are one entity.

The family knows their own affairs.

The perpetrators of the fraud are in a unique state; they have no combat power or even the ability to act.

Even if the main body is aware of what's happening here, it's still these clones who are doing the work.

When it came to solving the problem, Number 28 added: "This round isn't all bad news; there's also some good news."

In the world where Di Yun's remnant soul resides, I have cultivated a follower.

Thinking of Xia Lin, whom he had only met once, Number 28 added: "This person is greedy and wicked, but his strength is considerable. He seems to have had contact with Node before, and currently possesses a third-grade martial arts cultivation level, without having tainted our power."

If this person manages to destroy the treasure that Di Yun's remnant soul prepared for us, then the outcome will be decided!

Number 7 and Number 13 thought for a moment and both nodded.

Given the circumstances, it seems a better option for your followers to take action.

The power of the Spirit World Book startled Number 28.

This treasure, crafted by the King of Kings, is incredibly powerful and has a lot of history. It is a weapon specifically designed to subdue evil gods.

The three deceitful clones were so frightened that they dared not personally confront the Spirit World Book.

Instead, they changed their approach and asked Xia Lin to help them solve the problem.

This was actually within Xia Lin and Xia Tian's expectations!
……

Not long after, a faint light appeared again in Di Yun's heart.

The black light tentatively detached from the heart, and after finding no trace of the Spirit World Book, it condensed into the image of Di Yun in front of Xia Lin.

Before the fraudsters could speak again, Xia Lin asked in a panic.

"What's going on? What just happened?!"

—On the self-cultivation of actors.

This time, however, the thing in front of me retained its previous memories.

It turned its head and looked around, then looked at Xia Lin again: "Where is the destined one?"

Xia Lin answered simply, "It turned into light and disappeared..."

After saying that, he turned around and pointed in the direction of the Eight Guardians World: "They flew over there, it seems they returned to the Eight Guardians Ashes Zone. I couldn't stop them, and I didn't dare to stop them..."

Upon hearing this, Number 28 nodded slightly, and then slowly said, "This is a conspiracy by the Fission God!"

Good heavens... you still remember the Fission God? Xia Lin had almost forgotten about it...

Without speaking, he simply stared blankly at the fake Di Yun, and listened as the fake Di Yun continued.

"The Fission God went to great lengths to prevent my resurrection! That thing just now was a treasure called a miniature black hole. With this treasure in my possession, it is difficult for me to take over the body of the destined person."

Meanwhile, silently, the power of deception had spread throughout the entire scene, influencing Xia Lin's judgment and making her believe its fabrications without a doubt.

This is naturally ineffective...

But Xia Lin has to pretend it works...

He straightened his gaze and nodded emphatically: "What a vicious scheme!"

The fake Di Yun sighed, "Who can say otherwise?"

After saying that, he looked at Xia Lin and said, "Now that things have come to this, I need to give you a new task."

Xia Lin's face fell: "No, what about the generous reward you mentioned before?"

Number 28: "Naturally, there won't be any shortage."

In his heart, he thought to himself that this person was truly blinded by greed, and that he would definitely teach him a lesson once he had dealt with Di Yun.

"I consider the matter settled. The reward will certainly be substantial, so you can rest assured."

"Back to the present, the destined person has a miniature black hole inside him, so I cannot take over his physical body."

"So I need you to help me destroy the miniature black hole."

"This thing is ever-changing, formless and intangible, so I don't know what it has transformed into. You will have to find it yourself."

Xia Lin's expression grew even more bitter: "My strength is too weak; I'm afraid I'm not up to the task..."

The fraudster spoke again: "This brings us back to the generous reward I mentioned before."

At this point, Fraud clenched his fist.

As the flesh trembled and writhed, another channel split open.

At the end of the passage, a black portal appeared before Xia Lin's eyes.

Just as Xia Lin thought that this so-called great reward was another boundary core, he saw the fraudster shout angrily, and Di Yun's corpse trembled even more!
The black acupoint gate rapidly detached from the body, splitting into a pure black crystal sphere that floated in front of Xia Lin.

The thought of deception crossed my mind.

The black light was then quickly drawn away.

Its deceptive power in recovering this item!

Only when the crystal ball transformed into a dazzling array of seven colors did it gently nod to Xia Lin.

"This is my reward to you."

“A complete inner world of me during my lifetime.”

Essentially, this thing is still the substantial manifestation of the boundary core.

However, unlike the inner worlds of the previous martial artists, Di Yun's inner world is purer and more powerful, and its value far exceeds that of those Xia Lin obtained before!

Xia Lin reached out and took it, immediately feeling its weight.

Feeling the high-quality inner energy emanating from within, Xia Lin suddenly gasped and looked up at the fraudster.

"Not enough! I want more!"

I'll use this one myself, and the next one will be for Xia Tian.

As the reincarnation of Di Yun, Di Yun's inner world is most compatible with Xia Tian.

His greed was undisguised.

It's not surprising that it was deceitful—in its eyes, Xia Lin was just that kind of person.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as he gets rid of Di Yun's remnant soul, he can take back double what he's given right now—the location is right there in Di Yun's corpse and inner world, you can't get out, so how could I possibly escape from you?
Without saying a word, he removed another of Di Yun's inner world items.

Xia Lin nodded emphatically, one in each hand.

"Leave this to me!"

……

A month later, Xia Lin, carrying Xia Tian's fission variant, returned to the heart.

That's right, it's being carried...

Summer's body was covered in martial arts restrictions—a technique that Deception had taught Xia Lin.

Xia Lin threw summer into his heart and bowed deeply.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Amidst the hazy black light, fraud reappears.

Instead of looking at Xia Tian first, it asked Xia Lin, "Where's the miniature black hole?"

Xia Lin raised his chin: "I've already destroyed it!"

The fraudster breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

As he spoke, he eagerly rushed into the summer's fission form once again.

This time, the light of the Spirit Book flashed across Xia Tian again, and Xia Lin looked astonished once more. The phantom of the Qilin flew out again, glaring fiercely at Xia Lin as it fled: "You didn't destroy it!"

Xia Lin looked aggrieved: "I really ruined it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom of the Qilin opened its mouth and spat out another deceptive attack on Xia Lin.

In the end, it couldn't bear to part with Xia Lin, its pawn.

The Fission variant self-destructed again, and Xia Lin retrieved the Spirit World Book once more.

But this time, the power of deception in the Spirit World Book only increased by 300 points.

Investment was reduced on the 28th.

After a short wait, the fraudster returned, looking at Xia Lin with a rather helpless expression.

"You didn't destroy it..."

This is the root cause of its reduced investment.

It was also uncertain whether Xia Lin could handle the matter properly, hence the idea of ​​cutting losses.

Xia Lin shrugged: "Then maybe I looked for the wrong thing... You said yourself that it is formless, intangible, and ever-changing, how can I be sure that what I found is real or fake?"

After thinking about it, Fraud felt that Xia Lin's statement made sense.

With a flash of light, an object appeared out of thin air and landed in Xia Lin's hand.

"Take this and do it again."

Xia Lin looked down at the item in her hand, and the description of the item came into view.

【Crystal of Deception (SSS-rank item): A condensation of the power of deception, containing a small amount of deceptive power within.】

He's not even going to act anymore...

But the pervasive power of deception blinded Xia Lin, making her believe the deception without a doubt—or at least that's what the deception thought.

It added, "With this, you can be sure that what you have found is what I asked you to find."

Xia Lin nodded and reached out again: "Give me some benefits, and don't let me come all this way for nothing."

The fraudster shouted angrily.

"Get back to work!"

They offer no benefits whatsoever, instead using deception to forcibly control the situation!
This also allowed the Spirit World Book to absorb a full 36 points of deception power...

Xia Lin turned and walked towards the Eight Guardian Ashes area, pretending to be under control.

But deep down he knew that the fraudsters had lost patience after a series of setbacks.

There's no wool to be plucked.

"Then let's prepare to harvest."

Xia Lin, upon returning to the world of the Eight Guardians, said this to Xia Tian.
