Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Honglian blew away the white smoke rising from the gun barrel, turned to look at Lin Bai, and curled her lips into a smile:

"Don't just stand there, alchemist. I don't want to lose a capable helper."

The owl stood on the other side, his wrist trembling.

Blood congealed in mid-air into a dozen crimson throwing knives, which were then swung forward with crossed hands.

The throwing knife sliced ​​into the swarm of bats, cutting out several vacuum channels like a meat grinder.

Lin Bai frowned, and his two secret bodies, Power and Darkness, appeared simultaneously, engaging in a bloody battle.

Soon, the group realized something was wrong.

The battle continues in the canyon.

The bloodthirsty demonic bats surging from the cliff face remained endless.

Thousands upon thousands of bloodthirsty demonic bats circled overhead, intertwining and connecting head to tail, eventually forming a black vortex of flesh and blood that blotted out the sky.

......

"No." Ning Wei hid in the back, breathing rapidly.

"This passage is at least several hundred meters long. We'll have a hard time even resisting, let alone getting through. Let's retreat and turn back."

The butcher leaned against the stone wall, his hand covering the bleeding hole in his chest, and moved backward with dragging steps.

Lin Bai ignored Ning Wei's shouts.

His gaze passed over the black storm and landed on the demonic bats that were frantically gnawing at the Power Body.

A flash of understanding crossed his eyes.

He channeled his mental energy, his fingers constantly tracing lines in the air.

After the procedure is performed, take a step forward and walk actively.

"What are you doing!" Night Owl's pale face was full of astonishment.

The next second, he froze on the spot.

As Lin Bai approached, the rhythm of the flapping wings of the demonic bats within a ten-meter radius around him completely disrupted.

Thump, thump—

One after another, the demonic bats lost their balance and crashed straight onto the gravel ground.

They flapped their wings desperately on the ground, but could not leave the ground.

Lin Bai continued forward without stopping.

After he walked a dozen meters, Night Owl and Ning Wei discovered that the demon bat that had fallen at their feet had moved out of a certain range, turned over again, flapped its wings, and took off to attack once more.

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow as he looked at the bloodthirsty demon bats scattered on the ground at his feet.

Switching between mental and physical powers.

"Qi and Blood Disguise" activated.

The body temperature rose rapidly, and the peaceful atmosphere was replaced by violence.

The swarm of demonic bats in front of them all stopped abruptly.

They all turned back in mid-air, surging towards the Night Owl and Red Lotus behind them.

He seemed completely unaware of Lin Bai ahead.

"Damn it!" Honglian ejected the spent cartridge, reloaded, and the two barrels once again spewed out eerie blue flames.

Lin Bai's mental strength changed again.

Several ripples, barely perceptible to the naked eye, spread through the air.

"Sound Wave Resonance" is activated.

The bat swarm formation in mid-air immediately collapsed.

The swarm of bats in the fan-shaped area in front of Lin Bai suddenly lost their sense of direction and crashed around in mid-air.

They even tore at each other, with large amounts of blood and severed limbs falling from the air.

Just as he expected!

This place is probably not the residence left behind by an alchemist at all.

It is not a training ground built specifically for selecting alchemists!

He waved his right hand.

The immense power vanished as it transformed into specks of light, while the dark form shrank back into the shadows.

Gravity Stripping is back in action.

He turned to look at the few people behind him who were struggling to cope, and waved.

"Come with me."

He stepped over the struggling demon bats and strode into the depths of the canyon.

With him as the center, within a radius of ten meters, no monster in the air could maintain flight; they were all firmly pressed to the ground.

"What are you standing there for? Follow me!" Honglian shoved Yexiao, and the group quickly rushed into Lin Bai's gravity stripping range.

Inside the long canyon passage, a ten-meter-wide safety bubble has been added.

Outside, swarms of bats blotted out the sky, while inside, a few people strolled leisurely.

The moment we stepped out of the canyon, the wind stopped abruptly.

......

Five thick black stone pillars broke through the paving stones, blocking the way.

Lin Bai walked straight to the far left and grabbed the animal skin scroll representing the spell.

Ahead, another ancient house came into view.

Ning Wei ran a few steps to the stone tablet in front of the courtyard, traced the array patterns with her fingers, and then turned to report the news:

"This is a 30-day rest period."

Ten days turned into thirty days.

Lin Bai glanced around and became even more certain of his guess.

What do you mean by "restoration"? This place is basically for alchemists who have passed the trials to learn and master spells.

However, this time limit also shows that this place is not selecting ordinary alchemists.

Instead, it's about selecting geniuses, or rather, prodigies.

An ordinary alchemist should be able to master a second-tier spell in ten days and a third-tier spell in thirty days.

It sounds like a fantasy!

However, this is not a problem for him.

As the scroll unfurled, Lin Bai selected four third-tier techniques from it.

With a thought, the 750 essences transformed into a stream of air that flowed into the parchment.

The intricate array patterns were violently dismantled, and a massive flow of information was imprinted into the brain along the nerves.

The simulation is complete.

With the addition of the previously mentioned Annihilation Ray, all five third-tier spells are now complete.

The invisible barrier at the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness was broken through as if it were thin paper, and the spiritual power expanded outward at an extreme speed.

The shackles of a third-tier alchemist have been shattered.

......

Seven days.

The bluestone steps seemed to have no end.

The group passed the two trials again.

Lin Bai's previous guesses have been completely confirmed.

This godforsaken place is basically an assembly line for sifting out monsters.

The key to passing each level is hidden in the reward scroll given in the previous level.

Whoever can learn the technique within the allotted rest period will be able to continue.

Five more dark stone platforms rose up from the ground in front of them.

As the light dissipated, Lin Bai pulled out the ancient-looking animal hide with one hand.

I glanced at the text above, and sure enough... it was a fifth-order alchemy technique.

The double-barreled musket in Honglian's hand twirled in two flourishes, the tips of her shoes tapping the bluestone slabs on the ground:

"What are you daydreaming about? Clear the way, alchemist. I'm actually finding this trial quite exciting."

Night Owl folded the handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket. He didn't say anything, but his dark red eyes were fixed on Lin Bai.

Lin Bai casually tossed the scroll into his spatial ring and stopped in his tracks.

"I think we can't go any further." He turned around and walked back the way he came.

Ning Wei stood there stunned, then quickly took two steps forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can't walk anymore." Lin Bai said without turning his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move forward, it was just that... the world's essence had been exhausted.

The original source, the derivation of the second-order technique took four hundred and fifty parts.

It took 750 copies to deduce the third-order spell formula, and a full 5,000 copies to deduce the fourth-order spell formula.

He has now completed the accumulation of fourth-order techniques.

You can learn any fifth-tier technique from the scroll in your hand.

One can then enter the ranks of fifth-tier alchemists and even activate another secret body.

But... it's impossible now.

Now, he only has a mere eight hundred portions of the world's origin left, which is far from enough to deduce a fifth-order technique.

Therefore... there's no way I can pass the next trial.

......
