Chapter 167 (2/2)

If he wanted to make a full recovery, he naturally needed to swallow plenty of elixirs.

To his big surprise, one more spiritual star was lit up in the sea of his consciousness when he regained his strength. In other words, his soul power became much stronger.

At the same time, he knew more about the magic of the RFS.

These were the benefits of a real battle. A fiercer battle could arouse a practitioner’s potential to a larger extent. The bonus brought by experiences in war couldn’t be obtained via self-seclusion.

Without further delay, Lin Xun embarked on his journey again.

He became more cautious than before. Although two of the three Barbarian Soldiers were killed, the stronger one was still at large.

In a bid to recapture the Amrita Saint Pearl, the last Barbarian Soldier would take any possible measures.

In the case, Lin Xun couldn’t be more careful.

As time went on, Lin Xun killed Voodoo-barbarians one after another on his road. However, he didn’t meet anyone at the level of Barbarian Soldier all the way along.

The other practitioners would probably think that the stronger Barbarian Soldier had given up his plan, but Lin Xun wouldn’t think so.

On the contrary, Lin Xun became more vigilant. He even doubted that there was a meticulously prepared plot waiting for him!

A dozen days later-

As Lin just killed a dozen Voodoo-barbarians and wanted to find a place for a rest, he suddenly felt something unusual and stopped immediately.

Almost at the same time, a figure as thin as a spear appeared. It was a young man attired in the military uniform of Ziyao Empire with a unique badge on behalf of the Reshahar Army on his shoulder.

The young man was not handsome but looked indomitable, tough, and resolute.

In his hand was a body.

When Lin Xun saw the body, his black eyes immediately narrowed. He felt a little surprised, for the body was the sturdy Barbarian Soldier who escaped last time.

“I’m Song Ran, a Gang-spirit-realm practitioner of the empire’s Reshahar Army.”

The young man briefly introduced himself and continued, “We’ve learned your mishap. Is he the Barbarian Soldier who wanted to kill you?”

Speaking of which, he swayed the body in his hand.

Lin Xun nodded in relief and said, “Did Hu Long tell you this?”

Song Ran frowned and thought for a while. Then, he said with a nod, “It seems to be him, but I don’t know whether that boy is called Hu Long.”

Without more questions, Lin Xun had already made sure that it was Hu Long who helped him. Otherwise, the empire wouldn’t dispatch practitioners at the Gang Spirit Realm to the Demon-cloud Ridge. Moreover, one of the practitioners helped him destroy a big potential threat.

“From now on, you can focus on your assessment in the Demon-cloud Ridge. The Reshahar Army won’t interfere in the battle here, but as soon as the Voodoo-barbarian Tribe sends Barbarian Soldiers here, we’ll kill them immediately.”

At the moment, the coldness and harshness filled Song’s forehead.

“Thanks a lot!” said Lin Xun seriously.

Song Ran, who showed up suddenly, brought him the good news, making him at least not so vigilant as he was a few days ago.

“Pardon me for asking frankly. Do you know why these Water Barbarians persistently target at you only?” asked Song Ran suddenly with his eyes fixing on Lin Xun.

“Perhaps, I’ve killed too many of their fellows,” Lin Xun sighed, but he a little paniced, knowing Song Ran had already suspected something.

However, Lin Xun didn’t plan on leaking the “Amrita Saint Pearl” out.

“Oh,” said Song Ran. After a meaningful glance at Lin Xun, he continued, “Goodbye.”

He turned around and left briskly, which made Lin Xun stunned. Watching him leave, Lin Xun finally said nothing.

Ever since, Lin Xun smoothly got around in the Demon-cloud Ridge. With his combat effectiveness at present, he wouldn’t meet a real menace unless he met some powerful Barbarian Soldiers.

Although Song Ran had already annihilated that sturdy Barbarian Soldier, Lin Xun’s heart always palpitated vaguely as if he was targeted at secretly by an invisible eye.

This feeling was so uncomfortable, and he tried to use different means to find out the cause of the palpitation.

But, he got nothing in the end, which made him not lower his guard. It was not because he was too suspicious, but because he had an instinctive intuition.

Since he practiced the Meditating Magic and lighted up the spiritual stars in the sea of his consciousness, he had possessed an abnormally correct intuition of danger.

He believed his intuition wouldn’t be wrong.

Under the kind of pressure, he lighted up another spiritual star accidentally just when the assessment was about to be over in 20 days.

His soul power got upgraded twice in more than one month!

Thanks to the gains, Lin Xun had been fully aware that the pressure and suffering induced by harsh environments, together with meditation, were the most effective method to practice the Meditating Magic.

When his soul became much stronger, the palpitation that haunted in his heart finally became clearer.

Such a change killed his idea of leaving things to chance, and he completely judged that the threat posed by the Water Barbarian Branch still existed!

Thereafter, Lin Xun changed his action style suddenly, coming to a remote area of the woods, where he built a thatched cottage. No matter day or night, he had stayed in the cottage all the way for a dozen days. Neither did he leave here, nor hunt enemies for collecting military merits.

It felt like he wanted to stay in the thatched cottage in seclusion for meditation.
