The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 274 - 273: The Wonderful Use of the Power of Xuanwu
The Golden Lotus appeared for only a few seconds before it was retracted. It wasn’t that Lin Yun didn’t want to keep refining for a while longer, but the spear in front of him was already glowing with a golden light.
Back when Lin Yun burned the Moon Water Spirit Pearl and the Chaos Pearl, it took a very long time.
Lin Yun didn’t have the ability to maintain the Fire Seed outside indefinitely, and the two Ice Giants would have come to disturb him.
That’s what Lin Yun thought. However, as he was forging the weapon, those two Ice Giants were also fusing together.
They realized that if they stayed separated, Lin Yun could use their strength against them and directly started their ultimate form by combining into one.
However, the size of the Ice Giants didn’t increase after their reminder; instead, it decreased, forming a figure almost the same size as Lin Yun, and the Ice Spear in their hand also shrank.
Suddenly, Lin Yun felt like the word "danger" was written on his forehead.
It was already hard enough to get a weapon, but the boss switched to berserk mode. Damn it, I haven’t even deducted a drop of your blood!
Moreover, based on the conservation of mass—cough cough—I don’t know if this world conserves mass, but let’s assume the worst case scenario: if these two Ice Giants maintain their original mass after fusing, then their density would be double the original. Now, if their volume shrinks by half, that would mean four times the original density.
The trouble with the shrinking of the Ice Giants was that their movements got faster. They lunged at Lin Yun with a stab. Lin Yun blocked in a hurry but was still knocked flying, hitting the blue light screen, gasping in pain. Without time to be distracted, the next attack from the Ice Man came right at him.
Unable to block the attacks, Lin Yun could only dodge. His speed was still slightly faster than the Ice Man’s, and inside, he had two little buddies responsible for healing him; he wasn’t fighting alone!
"MMP, I don’t want to fight anymore!"
Lin Yun had never suffered such grievances. His hard training was for the purpose of bullying the weak, so why should he pick fights with higher orders, especially with such an outrageous opponent? Lin Yun couldn’t penetrate his defense, and he guessed that if he got hit even once, he would probably die on the spot.
Thank goodness he maximized his speed, otherwise he would have died countless times already.
But Lin Yun’s current mindset was like facing a boss battle’s second phase. He felt like he couldn’t win, but he couldn’t bear to give up either.
It was infuriating.
"I refuse to accept this today. As long as you can’t kill me, I will kill you!"
After being knocked around like a ball by the Ice Man twice, Lin Yun’s fighting spirit was thoroughly aroused, and getting knocked back repeatedly, Lin Yun found his way to fight.
His speed was faster than before. Although the Ice Man had high defense, his spear left marks when jabbing at the Ice Man’s joints.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t penetrate the defense; as long as the number of strikes were high enough, he would definitely be able to defeat the Ice Man!
The fight lasted an entire day.
The Snow Maiden and the Grand Shaman fell silent.
Picking a Snow Lotus didn’t usually take this long. It seemed that Lin Yun was more likely to be in bad luck.
The Snow Maiden was very sad. She had never had someone so close to her, and yet after just a few days together, Lin Yun had left her world.
"Perhaps, he has just returned to the embrace of God. You don’t need to feel sad for him; this is all God’s will."
The Grand Shaman said some words of comfort, but the Snow Maiden didn’t respond. For the first time, she began to question what the Grand Shaman said.
If returning to the embrace of God was His will, then why did the Father God grant him Divine Power?
Wasn’t that superfluous?
However, with the protection of the Father God, Lin Yun shouldn’t encounter any danger.
What went wrong, exactly?
"I want to go to Snow Lotus Cave and take a look."
The Snow Maiden made her request known, which was her right.
Not everyone was allowed to climb Snow Mountain. Only those who had permission could go up the mountain for trials, but the Snow Maiden could go up whenever she wished. This was also a special privilege granted to the children of God.
"You may go."
The Grand Shaman had no reason to stop her.
The Snow Maiden then climbed the mountain, and her purpose was not to bring back Lin Yun’s body, but just to confirm whether Lin Yun was dead or alive. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
If he were indeed dead, his body would remain on Snow Mountain.
At this moment, at the entrance of an unnamed cave, Lin Yun finally knocked off the last leg of the Ice Man.
This battle relied on grinding through time, a contest of endurance and sustainability.
Lin Yun first wore down the Ice Man’s right hand, and after that, it became much easier. As long as he could break through the defense, killing him was just a matter of time.
But the fighting spirit of the Ice Man was beyond Lin Yun’s expectations. Until the very end, when only one leg remained, the Ice Man still thought of attacking Lin Yun. Fortunately, Lin Yun was always cautious and wasn’t caught off guard.
Seeing that only the head and torso of the Ice Man was left, Lin Yun had no intention to humiliate him. He plunged his spear into the Ice Man’s eye socket, finally killing him.
After the Ice Man died, he left behind a mass of energy so pure, it was almost equivalent to Lin Yun grinding little snowmen and ice men for a whole day.
Lin Yun unapologetically absorbed this energy. Without converting it into Spiritual Liquid, the energy automatically merged into his body, making Lin Yun feel incredibly refreshed.
"Oh, refreshing."
Muscles began to appear on Lin Yun’s body, nearly turning him into a muscle hunk. Thankfully, after the power subsided, his muscles returned to normal.
Without any change in appearance, Lin Yun now looked just a lot more toned.
But Little Gold, the body’s administrator, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Such pure Innate Water energy, your kidney essence has strengthened a lot."
Hearing this, Lin Yun was instantly invigorated and asked, "Why did it strengthen my kidneys?"
"The kidneys govern water! Moreover, this is the Innate Water of Xuanwu, who as the Holy Spirit in charge of reproduction and fertility, it makes sense that His power can enhance your vitality."
"That’s a good deal, I’m gonna go hunt some more game."
Initially feeling nearly mentally collapsed from battling Ice Men all day, Lin Yun was now wide awake.
A man can lose everything, but never his kidneys.
Lin Yun wished he could wipe out all the snowmen and ice men on Snow Mountain, but it was Little Gold who advised him, "There’s a limit to how much of one type of energy you can absorb, and besides, your main practice is fire, with a strong heart fire, which usually doesn’t affect your body. But now, with your heart fire strong and your kidney water ample, the two opposing Five Elements energies in your body are at their most potent. If they become any more vigorous, I fear a clash between water and fire may occur."
"And what would happen then?"
Lin Yun was incredibly grateful. It was a good thing to have the walking encyclopedia Little Gold with him, a valuable asset indeed!
He needed to find a way to keep it around for good, remembering that Little Gold was still on temporary status.
"It will make your desires stronger, the heart fire will damage your mental clarity, and the kidney water will stimulate your desires. The combined effect will make it easy for you to lose control."
"Er, is that all?"
Suddenly I’m not afraid at all.
It’s just evolving from SP to LSP, right?
In fact, Lin Yun thought this move was brilliant!
Next time he catches Lin Yu, he’ll just say he lost control during his practice, hehehe...
Lin Yun’s mind was already filled with indescribable things.
"See, it’s already taking effect."
Little Gold could sense the changes in Lin Yun’s vitality.
"No observing my body’s changes when not in combat next time."
Little Gold: "..."
Humans are so difficult to understand...
