Chapter 679 News from Chan Dou (1/2)
After selling all the monster carca.s.ses at the Sweep City black market, Lin Huang made some money and got back to Victoria City next to the Peaceful Ocean via his dimensional portal. He wanted to change his environment as he had been staying in Sweep City for more than a month. Victoria City that had beaches around seemed to be an excellent choice.
As he settled down in Victoria City, Lin Huang started to dwell on his training again and stayed in his hotel room all day. He was stuck practicing telekinesis earlier as he was restricted by his combat level and spiritual strength whereby he failed to divide more telekinetic threads. Since he had leveled up, he started practicing Seamless again.
After practicing for a day, he managed to increase the number of telekinetic threads from 8,000 to 9,000, but he came to a plateau again. He then started practicing Sword Dao the next day. His speed was obviously slower this time. Although he had reached Void Breaker, which was the level-5 of Sword Dao, he was still slow at learning Oblivion. When he had been practicing Illumination earlier, he would get up to 1,000 card pieces, and three practices would earn him a complete Skill Card. Including the time he spent looking at the video tutorials, it only took him 20 minutes to get a complete Skill Card.
However, Lin Huang could only master Oblivion after watching the tutorials for two to three hours and would only get 20 to 30 card pieces. Sometimes, he would just get slightly more than ten card pieces. The sword skill required tens of thousands of card pieces to make a complete card, and the most were 15,000 card pieces to form a card. Lin Huang had to spend the entire day and sometimes two days to get a complete Skill Card after practicing the skill hundreds of times.
”This is too slow. There are more than 700 sword skills. Even if I learn one a day, I'll take two years to learn all of them.” After practicing for a few days, Lin Huang thought this method would not work. Since he did not have any better solution, he proceeded to practice anyway. The slow sword skill training meant the leveling up of his Sword Dao had slowed down as well. Lin Huang had been training for the past week at that dull, boring speed.
One night, Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring started vibrating when he was training after 10 p.m. He picked up the call immediately when he realized that it was Chan Dou.
”Wow, it's been a month since you last logged into the Genius Union!” Chan Dao smiled at Lin Huang as soon as the video call was connected.
”I think it's just been a month.” Lin Huang looked at the date and realized that it was already 29th June.
”It's the last day of June tomorrow. Will you be climbing the tree again?” Chan Dou asked.
”Forget about it. Even if I manage to climb a couple more checkpoints, I won't be able to get to the 63rd one, so it's meaningless. The monthly reward is nothing interesting anyway.” Lin Huang shook his head. He was not interested in the Stairway Tree's monthly reward.
”It's okay if you don't log into the Genius Union, but your account will be temporarily suspended if you don't log in for three months and the application to release the suspension is troublesome. You'll be suspended permanently if you don't log in for six months and you'll need the organization director to submit the application for you. If you don't log in for a year, you'll be blacklisted by the Emperor's Heart,” Chan Dou reminded him.
”I know. They do this so that they won't waste resources on someone who's dead. The Emperor's Heart will treat someone as missing if one doesn't log in for more than three months.” Lin Huang confirmed that he had heard of the condition from Yao Lan before.
”That's right, so please log in before you reach three months.”
”Oh yeah, is there any update on the bizarre seed that you asked me about earlier?”
”I've been inserting Life Power into it throughout the 20 days, but nothing has happened. There's no way for me to activate it.” Lin Huang did not hide the truth. He had seen the comments that Chan Dou posted to protect him and knew that he was a trustworthy friend.
”Perhaps your Life Power level is too low,” Chan Dou concluded after giving it some thought.
”Then, I shall put it aside and try again when I get to immortal-level.”
”Why not try inserting something else such as spirit, telekinesis, or Dao? I heard it doesn't have to be Life Power. You can insert some other energy,” Chan Dou suggested.
