C124 (1/2)

Two hours later, Lin Tao had already absorbed a Demon Ox Ball, and his strength had clearly increased by a lot. However, his cultivation level had yet to break through.

Di Chen asked curiously: ”How are you doing?”

Lin Tao was covered in sweat as he panted heavily, ”This pill is not for human consumption. I felt like my body was about to explode, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to consume the second pill.”

Di Chen laughed: ”Anyway, we are not in a rush. How about this, wait until you refine all 10 Demon Bull pills before we report to the Academy.”

Refining ten medicinal pellets would allow Lin Tao to break through the Life Seizing triple stage, and once he reached this realm, he would be able to compete with those who were at the fifth stage of Life Seizing. This would also be safer.

Liu Jingjing laughed: This is for the best, we are alone in Famous Sword Academy and have no support, and now we have offended someone, if we do not increase our strength, I am afraid it will be dangerous, but it is a pity that I will not be able to break through Martial King Realm.

Di Chen analyzed his own strength and said: ”It's easier for me to break through the Martial King Realm than it is for you. I just need to absorb more of the Demonic King's flesh and blood, but absorbing the Demonic King's flesh and blood is very dangerous for me, the realm of the scholars is rather difficult, I'm afraid I won't be able to improve much within ten days.”

It was clear that Di Chen and the other two did not have any leeway in Famous Sword Academy, and now that Di Chen did need to urgently increase his realm, it was just that everyone lacked money, so raising his realm was too difficult.

Liu Jingjing took out the book to read again. Breaking through such a small realm, Di Chen did not need to comprehend any dao, but to break through to a large realm, Di Chen had to comprehend the principles contained within the book. Originally, Di Chen wanted to read the《 The Origin of All Techniques》 that he brought from Eternal Gate, but after thinking for a while, he kept the book.

It was said that the time in this world was fixed, and that these amounts of time would be allocated to every single life. When the time a life lived for was longer than the time that he was supposed to live, the time other life would be reduced, and to give a simple example, if Di Chen were to die at the age of twenty, the eighty years would be allocated to another life. Or rather, if Di Chen was to live to the age of twelve, then that time would be longer than twenty years, and he would be taken out of the other life.

”All living beings survive for a certain amount of time. What has changed is every living being.”

This was the first time Di Chen had heard this saying, and he couldn't help but be curious. All life's survival time was always a definite value, how did the person who wrote this book know about it?

Suddenly!

”If a person's life is changed, then can life be taken away?”

Di Chen continued to study and only then did he realize that it was more like a cultivation technique than an ordinary book, it was just that it was something that scholars could not understand.

”Life Deprivation …” He suddenly opened his eyes after a while. He saw that there was a thin line above Liu Jingjing's and Lin Tao's head, but this thin line was a bit long, so it meant that's lifespan was longer than Lin Tao's, which meant that Liu Jingjing's lifespan was longer than her, which meant that Liu Jingjing's lifespan was after all, at the ninth stage of Soul Stealing, and Lin Tao's was only at the triple stage of soul stealing, so her lifespan was naturally shorter than's.

Di Chen stretched out both his hands. He felt that he could erase this line, but he could not increase this line. This meant that he could reduce the other party's HP, but he could not increase the other party's HP.

”Interesting,” Di Chen clicked his tongue in wonder. Of course, all of this was just Di Chen's guesses, he did not know if this thread's abilities were the same as his. Seems like he would need to find someone else to test it on in the future.

However, Di Chen felt that he had consumed the power of a scholar very quickly, so he quickly put away the cultivation technique. His eyes returned to normal, and the threads on Liu Jingjing's and Lin Tao's heads disappeared.

”Since it's more tiring than using Spear Arts,” Di Chen sighed. It had only been a few seconds, how could he be so tired.

After resting for a while, Di Chen continued to study the《 Life Theory》, wanting to see if there were any other things he had yet to discover.

”Di Chen, Di Chen...” Liu Jingjing suddenly came over from the side.

”Huh?” Di Chen jumped in shock, only then did he come back to his senses. He looked at Liu Jingjing and asked: ”What's wrong?”

Liu Jingjing looked at Di Chen strangely and said: ”You have already looked at it for five days, and have not eaten, spoken, nor rested. Aren't you tired?”

”Five days?” Di Chen was shocked. He clearly felt that he had only looked at it for a few hours.

Lin Tao also agreed, ”Yeah, you've read this book several times over the past five days, why did I call you 'I didn't listen'? I thought you were stupid.”
