17 Multiple Kills (2/2)

Lin Huang looked at the Life Wheel in his body. The columns started to light up again.

This time, it increased from 28 to 85 columns straight away.

Even with his accelerated decay in his lifespan which was 10 times faster than ordinary people, Lin Huang could now live for more than eight years.

He calmed himself down and started to plan things out.

From his experience earlier, he did not want to risk his life any further.

Bai performance was beyond Lin Huang’s wildest expectations. In every fight, he managed to kill every Sand Monster in a single shot before they could even make a single noise.

Just like this, with Bai’s help, Lin Huang killed three Sand Monsters.

All the 137 white columns on his Life Wheel were now filled up, the only remaining columns being the gray ones.

In this world, everyone had a Life Wheel within their bodies that had 360 light columns.

However, there were two categories to the columns. The white ones were refillable with Life Light while the gray columns could not be filled with Life Light.

Most people have 100 to 150 white columns which were full of Life Light when they were born. The white columns decided how long one would live.

As time passed, the Life Light in the Life Wheel would disappear and every year, one column of Life Light would be taken away.

The columns of Life Light that were taken away would turn into gray columns which were not refillable. That was how human lifespan decreased every year.

If one was ill or born with issues in their Life Wheel, the loss of Life Light would accelerate.

However, the speed of change of the column would forever be constant at one column per year.

Lin Huang was one of the unlucky ones. He was born with only 152 white columns on his Life Wheel. Now that 15 years had passed, his Life Wheel should have only had 137 white columns remaining.

However, since his lifespan decay was 10 times faster than ordinary people, within the 15 years, 150 columns were gone, leaving him with only two columns.

It was also not feasible to convert the gray columns into white columns as the price to pay was too high.

Each gray column would need 10 years of Life Light to be activated, turning them into white columns. To top it off, each gray column could only be activated once.

To be able to reach iron-level, it required all the gray columns to be activated, filling up the entire life wheel with 360 white columns.

The rich would need to pay an astronomical amount of money, making it impossible for the poor.

One year worth of Life Crystals required 100,000 credit points and 10 years worth of Life Crystals would require one million credit points to activate a single gray column.

For most people, they were born with more than 200 gray columns and the activation of those columns would require more than 200 million credit points, an astronomical amount.

That was the reason why anyone who held the title of a hunter in this world was respected. Even an iron-level Reserve Hunter would be held in high respect by everyone.

With all his white columns lit up, Lin Huang saw hope to achieve iron-level as he had the advantage that most people did not have - absorbing Life Light through Bai.

Witnessing the shortcut to iron-level, Lin Huang’s hunger to kill grew more intense.
