Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

He withdrew from the core of the dream and whispered:

"My heart is not worthy of this power, but I will come back."

Chapter 211 Inner Strength

Rigo's figure vanished into the sandstorm, and the dream of inheritance remained unchanged after his departure; nothing had changed.

But Bell, whose gaze was fixed on this place, knew that Rigo, who had just entered, had undergone an astonishing change.

With an extremely low life level and a weak physical body, he wasn't even an apprentice-level spearman, but at one moment, he was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a spear master.

"What's happening here?"

The moment Rigo touched the legacy of the gun master, his spirit and will burned brighter than ever before.

In order to find out what kind of strange reaction Rigo and the Dream of Legacy had produced, Bell used his [Dream Creation] ability to remotely enter the backstage of the Dream of Legacy.

Filtering through the chaotic and complex dream images, Bell's consciousness arrived at the core of the dream of inheritance.

Here, a huge, hazy bubble is slowly rotating. It is the legacy bubble of a master marksman. When placed in a dream, all sorts of people will quietly observe the fragmented inheritance within, thereby acquiring more or less skill and power.

Besides the gun-master legacy that Bell was already familiar with, several new orbs of light, each the size of a grain of rice, appeared here.

These orbs of light are remnants of dreams left behind by the lucky ones who came to the Dream of Inheritance. They contain their gains in the Dream of Inheritance and their personal understanding of these gains.

The function of the Dream of Inheritance is not only to pass on knowledge to others, but also to collect the insights and understandings of those people in their dreams, although this function is somewhat of a gimmick.

Because often, insights and understanding cannot be achieved overnight.

In Buddhist teachings, enlightenment is divided into two types. Before the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, gradual enlightenment was advocated, which refers to gradually increasing one's wisdom through learning and other means to achieve enlightenment. Legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha maintained a state of mental tranquility under the Bodhi tree for a long time and eventually attained enlightenment.

After the birth of the extraordinary Sixth Patriarch Huineng, the idea of ​​sudden enlightenment became popular. People believed that anyone could have a sudden awakening, due to a certain event or a certain moment of environment, thus experiencing a sudden enlightenment, which is similar to the idea of ​​laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot.

Of course, Buddhist teachings are complex, and there are also concepts such as gradual cultivation and sudden enlightenment.

But none of that is the point. What's important is the insight that Rigo left in the dream, which has a kind of epiphany.

"This is not the application of mental power, but simply the power of will, or the power of the mind."

Within the tiny, rice-grain-sized orb of light, only Rigo's orb of will shone brightly. Despite its minuscule size, it possessed a dazzling power.

Bell probed his mind into the tiny grain of light, trying to grasp Rigo's insights from this dream.

The power of dreams is unique; it allows Bell to recreate Rigo's experiences and state of mind, and in his dreams, he can almost perfectly transform into Rigo.

"But unfortunately, enlightenment is something that belongs to Rigo. Even if I could see it, I still couldn't replicate it."

By placing the orb of light back into the depths of the dream, Bell exited the dream of inheritance.

He couldn't achieve the epiphany that Rigo possessed, but he could gain insights into the next direction for the development of his technique through Rigo's understanding.

Become a senior

After becoming a spearman, Bell could sense that he was only one step away from becoming a master spearman, but he was stuck on that step. Even after burning other corpses to gain combat experience, Bell was unable to cross that threshold.

Like Bell, countless geniuses are stuck at this step. After all, the changes brought about by the breakthrough from advanced to master level are enormous, which can be described as crossing the barrier of level forty, breaking through from advanced professional level to legendary level.

"So, how could this middle-aged man named Rigo, who is so physically weak, suddenly rise to the top and possess master-level skills?"

Knowing how difficult it is to become a master in a field, Bell was shocked by Rigo's epiphany.

After the epiphany, Rigo's personal panel underwent a stunning change.

【Rigo】

Race: Human (Civilian template offset)

grade:

Health:

Mental strength:

magic:

Skill: Sewing Techniques

Classes: [Intermediate Weaver], [Entry-level Spearman] (Special)

From a purely data perspective, this guy isn't even as strong as Edu, whom Bell just encountered. After all, he's a pure human without any other bloodlines, and without training in combat-related professions, his physical strength is only this high.

[Intermediate Weaver] is decent among ordinary people, but not outstanding. [Entry-level Spearman] is a new profession he obtained in the Dream of Inheritance, but he hasn't seriously touched a gun yet.

Without a sudden epiphany, Rigo's attribute panel wouldn't make any difference.

But Bell, who had experienced his epiphany, knew that Rigo was currently stuck at the [Entry-level Spearman] level simply because of his lack of physical attributes and combat experience.

His mindset was already extremely close to that of a true master of marksmanship.

This is no joke. It means that if Rigo continues to advance in marksmanship, he will break through to the master level without any bottlenecks, something Bell can only envy.

Rigo will gain more combat experience from the battles, and his insight into combat will be stronger than others. He will even be able to exert combat power far exceeding his current level, given his current physical condition.

'Use an absolutely powerful mind to harness strength, and use insignificant strength to change the entire world.'

This is Rigo's epiphany; a simple sentence that gave Rigo the immense energy to transform.

Bale cannot completely replicate Rigo's mindset, so he cannot follow in his footsteps as a master, but this can at least give Bale some inspiration and let him know what the realm of a master really looks like.

"Simply relying on experience and skills is not enough to make someone a master; one must transcend ordinary skills and use one's own strength to expand the boundaries of this field."

Many masters started from personal will and supported their techniques with a strong inner strength.

As long as that inner strength doesn't dissipate, their power will remain even many years after their death.

Just like how Bell burned those ancient corpses inscribed with techniques, even though they had been dead for countless years, he could still extract combat experience from their bodies. This was something that could never happen to Bell.

Bamboo rats like this will rot and disappear without a trace within a few years after they die.

Bell had not forgotten how he felt when he was corrupted by the Gun Master's personal will, nor had he forgotten how difficult it was to remove the Gun Master's will from Edu's consciousness.

"It seems I also need to focus on exploring the power of the mind. I don't expect to have an epiphany, but at least I need to make my will able to control the power of a master."

Chapter 212 Chishui City in Raging Waves Canyon

Ignoring Rigo's strange reaction to the Dream of Inheritance, Bell stopped using his Dream of Inheritance ability. Since Rigo hadn't taken the Gun Master's legacy from the Dream of Inheritance yet, Bell didn't need to worry about it.

Bell, who had witnessed Rigo's path to enlightenment, also knew that Rigo would not return to the Dream of Inheritance anytime soon.

He plans to set off for the more stable Cangxing City with his wife and children in about half a year. He will be active in Cangxing City for a long time until his children are a little older before Rigo returns to Huangtan City.

After his epiphany, Rigo knew that he could never leave this city. The power of fate had bound Huangtan City to him, and Rigo was destined to do something in Huangtan City, just not now.

Fate is a mysterious and unpredictable force, as Bell mentioned to several of his fellow villagers who were of particularly high rank at a gathering of fellow villagers.

Every world possesses the power of destiny, which serves the operation and flow of the world, and everything it does is to make the world stronger.

Although the perceived strength within the rules governing the operation of the power of destiny differs from that of most intelligent beings, one thing is certain: the power of destiny dislikes stagnation.

The power of fate desires to set everything in motion, from romance and nature to countless races. The movements of different things interact and eventually become intertwined, forming a vast and extremely complex network of destiny.

Huangtancheng, a relatively isolated and stagnant area, is a place that fate has not favored.

Rigo's emergence is in line with the trend of change. In a sense, even without Bale's legacy, another 'Rigo' would have been born from another perspective.

Fate brought them here to change this closed-off area.

If it were Rigo, he would unite the forces of all parties, withstand pressure from all sides, and slowly but steadily change the status quo of Huangtancheng.

But if it were someone else chosen by fate, they might turn Huangtan City into a labor export center through human trafficking. Or they might completely destroy Huangtan City, turning everyone into refugees and forcing them to assimilate into other cities.

In any case, what matters to fate is that everything is in flux and changing, and the specific form of change is not important.

However, these speculations about fate are still too far removed from Bell's current understanding; he has not yet reached a level sufficient to explore this field.

Even though Bell had unknowingly used the power of changing the state of matter to manipulate the great power of time and indirectly come into contact with the operation of the power of fate.

But from the current perspective, the city of Chishui in front of us is clearly closer to Bell.

After more than two weeks of trekking, Bear Grylls successfully traveled nearly a thousand kilometers north and arrived at the gates of Chishui City, one of the four upper cities.

Chishui City is located above the Nutao Gorge. It is a very large city with a very interesting layout.

The Raging Waves Canyon is a highly dangerous place. It was not formed naturally, but because long ago, a star fell from the sky and crashed eastward from the southwest inland, tearing this treacherous canyon into the earth.

At that time, the Raging Waves Canyon was still

It's not called the Raging Waves Canyon; it's just an extremely long canyon.

Over the long course of time, the landform changed, and eventually a large number of rivers flowed into the canyon, evolving into the raging canyon that is always filled with surging waves.

Chishui City is located in a relatively flat area in the middle of the Nutao Canyon. Legend has it that the fallen star was located in the canyon area of ​​Chishui City, but no one has ever found any trace of it.

However, compared to these unverified legends, the resource output of the Angry Wave Canyon, a high-level dangerous place, is extremely astonishing.

One hundred kilometers upstream from Chishui City, three great rivers originating from the snow-capped mountains of the Western Regions converge into the Nutao Canyon. The surging river waters carry a large amount of resources along the way into the Nutao Canyon, making the resources here several times more abundant than in other high-level dangerous areas.

Although these resources are hidden underwater, and the underwater conditions here are complex, unpredictable, and extremely dangerous, adventurers have always been fearless in the face of the astonishing resource yields.

In particular, after Chishui City established its status as one of the top four cities by cultivating powerful individuals thanks to the amazing resource output of the Raging Waves Canyon in its early years, many adventurers were able to develop steadily to a certain level before venturing into the dangerous Raging Waves Canyon for exploration. This made the survival rate of those entering the Raging Waves Canyon much higher than in the early days.

"However, compared to its astonishing resource output, Chishui City is most famous for its numerous intelligent races."

In terms of resource output alone, the four cities are actually quite similar. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it's impossible to say that one city is absolutely superior to the other.
