My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 336 Synchronous Enhancement, Unexpected Effects on the Day the Cards Were Revealed!
In the main residence of the Xia family, in a quiet room.

Xia Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, rapidly circulating the Hundred Damage Demonic Art within his body.

All seventy-two acupoints emitted light, with more than half of them dim and more than half as bright as stars!

All the bright acupoints contain a boundary core, which is responsible for providing energy, allowing Xia Lin to rapidly increase his martial arts cultivation with the Hundred Losses Demonic Art without gluttony or killing.

Moreover, this method causes far less damage to lifespan.

Today, the turning point has arrived.

The ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, the boundary core that originally belonged to Di Yun, began to dim its light.

The remaining boundary cores rapidly supplied energy to the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, causing the Di Yun boundary core within the ancestral aperture to glow with colorful light.

The sun is faintly visible in the sky, and the phantoms of cosmic stars rise and fall from it, with the power of rules also appearing.

After an unknown period of time, Xia Lin suddenly felt a jolt in his ancestral aperture.

Through his inner vision, he clearly saw the boundary core trembling continuously. It absorbed endless blood energy into itself and released even more power similar to blood energy, but its essence was superior to blood energy!

This is precisely the inner power of a second-grade martial artist!
……

Concentrate and practice.

Soothe the core of the boundary and stabilize it, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of the inner world to circulate throughout the body.

The newly born inner world power followed Xia Lin's will and began to circulate through the meridians. Along the way, the blood and qi merged, and because they came from the same source, they were assimilated by the inner world power.

After completing a full cycle, Xia Lin's blood and energy had transformed into the power of the inner world, thus opening the gate to the second rank, and Xia Lin successfully advanced.

Within the ancestral aperture at the center of the brow, a true and secure world is being constructed, centered on the boundary core.

Mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars.

It's just a little unrealistic, not quite real.

There is also no life present.

And this is the path to becoming a first-class martial artist in the future—cultivate this world into a complete world, and the path to first-class martial arts will open.

For Xia Lin, who possesses abundant resources, achieving this first-grade rank is merely a matter of time and effort.

Open the temporary attribute panel, and brand new attributes will appear before your eyes.

Name: Xia Lin

【Level: 9】

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Martial Arts Cultivation: Second Rank True Martial Realm]

[Professional Talent 1: Martial Arts Truth (SSS Rank): You have achieved the Second Grade True Martial Realm, transforming your blood energy into the power of your inner world, and have already possessed the rudiments of an inner world. This inner world has amplified your attributes and racial stats; current racial stat amplification: 278.6!]

【Professional Talent 2: Hundred-Damage Blood Demon Body (Racial Heritage Level): Your golden body is the Hundred-Damage Blood Demon Body!】

You can activate your Golden Body anytime, anywhere, transforming into the Hundred-Damage Blood Demon form. In this form, the power of your Hundred-Damage Demonic Arts is greatly increased! Simultaneously, your base attributes receive a massive boost!

[Base stat total: 278.6!]

[Base Attributes: 45 million!]

[Skills: Omitted.]

"Not bad."

Xia Lin was quite satisfied with these attributes.

Of course, it looks just average.

Back then, Zheng Qun from the Legend of the Immortal Swordsman was a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage. His racial stats were over 1500, and his attributes reached 30, far surpassing Xia Lin, a second-grade martial artist.

According to the intelligence reports from the Crossing Sea Hall in the past, a second-rank martial artist was actually equivalent to a True Immortal or even an Immortal Lord!

"The strength of a second-grade cultivator is indeed comparable to that of a True Immortal or Immortal Lord. The key problem is that I'm not a newcomer to the second grade, so I haven't had time to cultivate..."

In martial arts, the further you progress, the greater the gap in strength between different levels becomes.

The transition from second to first rank is an even longer process, during which martial artists have a great deal of potential to be tapped, resulting in a huge gap between their upper and lower limits.

In his pursuit of speed, Xia Lin neglected to build a solid foundation in martial arts—the Hundred Losses Demon Art, a heretical skill, was not a proper foundational technique.

This resulted in Xia Lin breaking through at a fast pace, but his potential and strength decreased as time went on.

"But it's not important..."

Anyway, he just planned to use the fake attribute panel to exploit the Ash Zone system and identity replacement cards.

Xia Lin didn't care about the future at all.

Even after achieving the first rank, further cultivation was simply impossible for Xia Lin.

—The resources in this Ash area are not enough for Xia Lin to achieve a Super Rank.

After leaving the Ashes District, he was unable to pursue the path of martial arts due to class restrictions.

"I'd be a fool to give up everything I had."

Muttering to himself, Xia Lin opened the True Attributes panel again.

Looking at the numbers above, Xia Lin's lips curled up, almost unable to suppress her smile.

In these six months, it wasn't just my martial arts skills and pseudo-attribute panel that improved.

Based on the Bomb Boys Legion hidden in the cave, and using faith as a means to break limits, Xia Lin had already achieved his short-term goal after six months—triggering the second Third Law judgment!

Name: Xia Lin

【Level: 9】

[Base stat: 236 (originally 201)]

[Basic Attributes: 4.8 million (unchanged)]

Multiplying the two together, the mental attribute exceeds 100 billion, making it natural to trigger the second and third laws.

However, Xia Lin has indeed felt that breaking through the limits of his current attributes and racial stats has become extremely difficult.

This is how racial stats and basic attributes work in the professional system.

The higher the value, the more difficult it is to improve.

After reaching the standard to trigger the second and third laws, Xia Lin clearly felt that the growth of his racial stats and basic attributes began to slow down, and it seemed that triggering the third and third laws by climbing tenfold again was a long way off.

"Stronger than NO.259 and Xiao Feng, but definitely not as good as the top three in the human race sequence."

NO.259 and Xiao Feng, as the seventh and eighth human races respectively, both have the attribute of triggering the Third Law twice.

Comparable to Xia Lin at this moment.

However, considering Xia Lin's numerous methods, it's only natural that he could suppress the two of them.

The top three in the human race all possess the ability to fight against an eleventh-level opponent while being at level nine—this indicates that their attributes have most likely reached the standard to trigger the third third law.

Otherwise, Xia Lin would never have imagined that they could fight against an eleventh-level opponent while possessing level one or even higher judgment authority.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long..."

Xia Lin muttered these words, but then shook his head.

The most pressing matter is not the ranking battle.

Rather, it is this ash-filled region, and the deceitful evil god.

He got up and left the meditation room, making his way to another cultivation room in the house.

The blood and qi within the gate circulated and then quickly receded.

Xia Lin then pushed open the door and entered, immediately seeing that Xia Tian had finished his practice and had also achieved the second rank.

Standing on the shoulders of giants (Black Star and Di Yun), the second-rank Heavenly Gate is nothing to the two Xia brothers.

Looking up at Xia Lin, Xia Tian nodded slightly.

"The situation is good; we can do more now."

The anti-pollution plan must be implemented in the summer.

The stronger Xia Tian is, the more impact she can have.

With summer now in full swing, the anti-pollution plan should naturally be pushed to the next stage.

……

When Xia Tian was at the third rank, this was the only way to cooperate with Xia Lin:

The pollution effects of the county magistrate and the end of this world were greatly shielded, hidden within the Heavenly Dao of the Eight Guardian Worlds, so that they would not erupt, spread, or bring about any abnormal phenomena.

June has passed, and in theory, rust disease should have spread throughout the world of the Eight Guardians, but it hasn't. This is precisely the result of summer's actions.

However, his abilities stopped there when he reached the third rank in summer.

His powers cannot leave the Eight Guardian Worlds to go outside the Gate of the Acupoints, nor can they spread to the other seventy-one Acupoint Worlds.

This also means that the effects of the End of This World cannot leave the Eight Guardian World even half a step—if it leaves the Eight Guardian World, it leaves the scope of Xia Tian's power, which could easily alert the enemy and ruin the good thing.

Now that Xia Tian has reached the second rank, his power has experienced its first explosive growth!
"First, there's the scope."

"As a second-rank cultivator, I already possess the ability to influence Di Yun's corpse and other acupoint worlds."

As he spoke, Xia Tian slowly closed his eyes. In the darkness, Xia Lin sensed a strange fluctuation emanating from Xia Tian's body, connecting with the world, and even slowly spreading beyond the world, that is, to the gates of the Eight Guardian World.

After waiting for about an hour, Xia Tian suddenly opened her eyes, and cold sweat instantly beaded on her forehead.

"It's done."

"I have connected the Heavenly Dao of the Eight Guardians of the World with the other seventy-one acupoints."

On one hand, this means that Xia Tian, ​​at the second rank, has already been able to partially control the seventy-one inner worlds outside the Eight Guardian Worlds.

On the other hand, Xia Tian's actions also meant that he had spread the Black Source Contamination to the other seventy-one acupoint worlds and to Di Yun's corpse.

"Then, there's the matter of concealment."

Because the fraud also contaminated Di Yun's corpse, it caused it to plunder some of Xia Tian's powers.

However, the second-rank summer was able to conceal the effects of the end of this world right under the noses of deception.

It's not about suppression, but about hiding, accumulating, and then exploding!
Xia Lin thought for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

"In this way, it will not be able to quickly pollute the other seventy-one inner worlds and create a large number of believers for me to harvest faith points."

This is a drawback.

"But the benefit is that it can deliver a major blow to fraud at a crucial moment."

This is the benefit.

Weighing the pros and cons, Xia Lin decided to forgo short-term gains and focus on the future.

……

Three years later, in June.

Summer's assessment back then was accurate. At the point of three years and six months, Summer achieved the First Grade Heavenly Origin Realm.

The first inner world of the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows was fully formed, but there were no inhabitants of the realm.

Xia Tian's original plan was to use the connection with Di Yun's corpse to absorb the inhabitants of other acupoint worlds and even the Eight Guardian Worlds, thereby filling the inner world with power in a short period of time.

However, it's time to change our approach.

In the quiet room, Xia Lin remained at the second rank, his breakthrough coming slightly later than Xia Tian's.

But neither of them was in a hurry.

Because in the summer when you've achieved great success, there are so many things to do.

Consciousness spreads to all corners of the world.

It even easily penetrated the acupoints and reached into Di Yun's body.

With powers almost akin to those of the heavens, Xia Tian communicated with the county magistrate.

In doing so, the effects of black source pollution are concealed, amplified, and spread.

The bomb was successfully planted without anyone noticing.

With just a single order from Xia Lin, the anti-pollution plan targeting fraud can be launched.

Xia Lin didn't keep Xia Tian waiting long. Just a hundred days later, thanks to the money he had previously obtained from the fraudsters, Xia Lin also achieved the First Grade Heavenly Origin Realm.

Name: Xia Lin

【Level: 9】

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Martial Arts Cultivation: First-Rank Heavenly Origin Realm]

[Professional Talent 1: Martial Arts Truth (Racial Foundation Level): You have achieved the First Grade Heavenly Origin Realm, completely condensing your Inner World. Your Inner World has amplified your attributes and racial stats; current racial stat amplification: 1352!]

[Professional Talent 2: Blood Demon Body with Hundred Damage (Racial Heritage Level): Omitted.]

[Base stat total: 1352!]

[Base Attributes: 50 million!]

The base stats increased dramatically, but the attribute increases were not significant.

During this period, Xia Lin's main pursuit was to break through his cultivation realm, rather than focusing on cultivating the power of his inner world, that is, increasing his basic attributes.

By this time, Xia Tian and Xia Lin had completed their preparations.

I've been eagerly anticipating the 28th for a long time.

……

More than three years later, Xia Lin and Xia Tian's variants once again stepped out of the acupoint and came to Di Yun's heart.

Amidst the swirling black light, the power of deception spread, causing Xia Lin to take a deep breath.

This taste is familiar and comforting.

The power of deception on the Spirit World Book slowly increased by 5 points, and only then did the figure of the fake Di Yun appear in front of him.

It stared at Xia Lin with displeasure.

"Slow, too slow!"

"I don't understand why you're moving so slowly!"

During their last encounter, Number 28 had already lost patience due to a series of defeats. Now, after waiting for more than three years, it is not surprising that it has this attitude towards Xia Lin.

And if your attitude is bad, then it's bad... In its eyes, Xia Lin is being influenced by its power and is being deceived. Xia Lin's life belongs to it, so what if I complain to you a couple of times?

Xia Lin didn't care about the deceptive attitude; he simply lowered his head and said respectfully.

"I encountered some setbacks, and the mission was quite difficult. Fortunately, it has been resolved now, and only then do I dare to appear before you again to report back."

As she spoke, Xia Lin pointed to Xia Tian, ​​who had been thrown at her feet and was unconscious.

"The destined person has been successfully brought here."

“That’s not the point,” Fraud began, and Xia Lin nodded, “Of course, that’s not the point.”

"The key lies in the miniature black hole that protects the destined one."

The fraudster asked, "Can you destroy this?"

Xia Lin replied, "It wasn't destroyed."

Xia Lin's answer caused the fraudster to catch his breath and blush.

It was both anxious and angry.

However, before it could speak again, Xia Lin flipped his hand and took out a jade pendant-like object from his pocket.

"I did not destroy it because I could not destroy it."

“But I did obtain this item and brought it to you.”

After saying this, Xia Lin placed the jade pendant on the ground and respectfully took several steps back.

Therefore, Number 28's gaze naturally fell on the jade pendant on the ground.

……

After a brief thought, it realized that Xia Lin's words made sense.

The treasure that he called a miniature black hole must be of a high level since it could exert a restraining effect on him.

Given Xia Lin's current strength, it's normal that he can't destroy it; it would be a big problem if he did.

"good, very good, excellent!"

“You did a great job!”

As he spoke these words of deception, a wisp of deceptive power emerged from Di Yun's heart and slowly approached the jade pendant.

When the distance between the two closed to a certain extent, the jade pendant suddenly emitted light, absorbing all of this deceptive power!

This situation reveals a fact—this is the protective treasure that Di Yun specially prepared for fraud!

This time, Xia Lin didn't choose the wrong person!
However, the real situation is as follows.

This jade pendant was a prop that Scarlett had carefully crafted over the past three and a half years.

The raw materials were taken from Xia Lin's personal space—Xia Lin's family is now very large and successful, and there are quite a few good things in his personal space.

Scarlett, being an eleventh-level Celestial Immortal, also had a deep understanding of weapon crafting—as a cultivator of this level, she should at least possess a few skills in various cultivation arts.

Even if an immortal doesn't specialize in crafting weapons and alchemy, they will definitely know how to do it.

After three years of preparation, this item was finally completed.

"But strangely, it's not called a miniature black hole."

Xia Lin added a small remark, saying that fraud was not only uncommon, but actually made them even more relaxed in their guard.

The term "miniature black hole of farts" is a fabricated and fraudulent name.

This thing shouldn't be called a miniature black hole; calling it a miniature black hole would be problematic...

Amidst the surging black light, the item's attributes fell into the eyes of the fraudster.

[Gift (Racial Heritage Level Item): Contains magical power, capable of absorbing negative energy and significantly enhancing the wearer's resistance to possession.]

"Gift……"

The fraudster was completely bewildered... but the name doesn't matter.

Importantly, it was convinced from the item's description that this was exactly what it was looking for.

Suddenly, blood began to circulate in Di Yun's heart.

The blood energy transformed into a blade and slashed out instantly, striking the jade pendant and splitting it in two.

The faint light suddenly burst open, then immediately went out.

The fraudsters unleashed another deceptive act, discovering the jade pendant was malfunctioning, and finally completely lowered their guard.

"Finally done."

Yes, it's finally done.

Although it was a bit tedious and had a lot of errors, the result was ultimately good.

It didn't see anything suspicious or problematic about the gift prop...

It also had a general understanding of the situation in the world of the Eight Guardians.

This gift, a relic of such high quality, could not have been left behind by Di Yun before his death, or could it have been created by the natives of the Eight Guardians World themselves? Is that even possible? What ability would the natives of the Eight Guardians World possess?

Now that things had come to this, the fraud could no longer be tolerated.

A stream of black light appeared in an instant, roaring as it rushed toward Summer.

A massive amount of deceptive power surged into Xia Tian's body in an instant. At that moment, Xia Lin finally looked up and grinned menacingly.

He had been waiting for this moment for more than three years!
The moment the cards were revealed!
……

The perspective shifts back to the world of the Eight Guardians.

Long before Xia Lin left the Eight Guardian World with Xia Tian's variant, Xia Tian's original body was already standing beside the county magistrate.

Blood and Qi circulate within the body, and the first inner world shimmers with brilliant light.

The light spread out into the distance invisibly, as if connected to the fission variant through countless barriers.

"This fission technique does indeed have its merits."

Di Yun's true skill in the past was definitely stronger than the Fission Divine Skill.

However, when it comes to skills, strength is not the primary consideration; the best skill is the one that suits you best.

The Fission Divine Skill given by Xia Lin is perfect for Xia Tian's current situation. This led Xia Tian to abandon his original martial arts and instead decide early on to use the Fission Divine Skill as his main cultivation technique in this life.

Summer has now achieved first-class success, and the Fission Divine Skill is gradually showing its unique characteristics.

Leaving aside the connection between the main body and the fission variant, the fission divine skill after reaching the first grade brought another very important characteristic to Xia Tian.

"Shifting from primary to secondary priorities."

"Everything the main body possesses can be instantly transferred to the fission variant."

This unique characteristic is exceptionally effective and can be considered the most powerful feature of the Fission Divine Art. Currently, this characteristic has also increased the success rate of Xia Lin's plan.

Just as the fraud was being injected into Xia Tian's body, Xia Tian's eyes flickered, and he sensed it on his own.

He suddenly raised his hand and placed it on the cylindrical form that the county magistrate had transformed into. At the same time, Scarlett beside him also stepped forward, activating a secret technique amidst ethereal light to strengthen the connection between the county magistrate and Xia Tian.

And this, in turn, led to this result.

Summer actively accepted the pollution from the source of darkness and, following the principle of primary and secondary transfer in the fission technique, transferred all the pollution to the split body!

At this moment, number 28 is inside the summer's split body.

When summer no longer used its power to deliberately suppress the pollution of the source of darkness, and even actively accepted the pollution of the source of darkness, the unprecedented special infection of No. 28 and even fraud swept towards it like a raging storm!

……

In theory, the form of the deceitful evil god is completely suppressed by the corruption of the dark source.

But in reality, Xia Lin didn't know whether black source pollution was effective against fraud.

Standing at the scene of the incident, Xia Lin felt like a spectator, and inevitably a lot of tension rose in his heart.

At the same time, one should not use the Book of Spirits to absorb the power of deception.

Because of this situation, Xia Lin needs the Black Source Pollution to spread into the Fraudulent Main Body through the Fraudulent Doppelganger in this place.

Can you do it?

do not know……

It was an experimental plan to begin with, so it's not surprising that anything could happen.

Now that things have come to this, there's little he can do but wait.

Faintly, Xia Lin seemed to hear a mournful roar emanating from Xia Tian's fission body.

Faced with the sudden outbreak of black source pollution after being suppressed for three years, Xia Tian's fission variant and the deceptive power of No. 28 within him both seemed rather weak and helpless!

Summer's physical body instantly took on a metallic sheen, and long before the change occurred, Summer had already withdrawn the self-awareness from the fission variant.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Tian had transformed into a metallic form.

Suddenly, a loud "thump" sounded, like the strong beating of a heart.

Under Xia Lin's gaze, the completely metallic "Summer" suddenly opened its eyes.

It met Xia Lin's gaze, and a hint of doubt slowly appeared in its metallic eyes.

The doubts slowly dissipated, transforming into a strange yet familiar light.

Soon, it opened its mouth.

"First, never act on impulse!"

Xia Lin: "Huh!?"

His eyes widened in astonishment.

"Wait a minute, what's going on now?!"

(End of this chapter)
