<h4>Chapter 329: Enticement: Part 3</h4>
He heard that once his dark power had reached a certain level, it will start to activate all sorts of abilities.
Movement, attack and defense, and misceneous skills, all three of these trees will have very intricate branches. And among the movement tree, there was a high-level movement technique called the Dark Crossing.
The technique allows the user to greatly increase his movement and reflex speed within the area of their dark powers and was extremely potent.
Lin Sheng’s dark power techniques are still considered raw, and he could only use the most basic of maniption techniques and could not tell the difference.
But even so, his movement speed was already far beyond the range of any typical techniques.
It was all because of his overwhelming physical strength, and he could use his dark power as a jet stream to propel him into shocking speeds.
And a few secondster, outside the Soul Fortress hidden realm.
He managed to catch up with Margaret who was getting on the car to leave.
Without a word, Lin Sheng only threw a piece of paper that he had written earlier and it flew it silently through the car window before Marguerite.
He then turned away and left.
Written on the note was an opportunity that could be given to her, as for whether she woulde or not, it was up to her.
Lin Sheng had no shortage ofb rats, and it was good if she came. If she did not, he would simply just look for someone else.
Inside the car.
Margaret looked on in astonishment at the white piece of paper that went through the window andnded before her.
It was a simple piece of white paper yet it could force its way through a bulletproof window, andnded before her without any sound.
That was definitely beyond her capabilities.
After settling her nerves, she opened the paper and read it.
“If you do not wish to ept your fate, thene here, perhaps you will have the chance to break the cycle.”
Beneath it was an address.
“118, Redcurrent Street.”
Margaret kept the paper and sneered as she was prepared to throw the paper away.
Yet the displeasure in her heart was roiling, and she could not help but hold the paper tight in her hand.
After some moment of silence, her expression softened as she closed her eyes.
“Perhaps I should give it a try before I leave and give myself a chance?” The thought appeared in her mind.
What if there was a chance to turn things around, it was not somewhere remote and was right smack in the city, so it was safe.
And when such thoughtse to mind, it was nigh impossible to suppress.
...
Lin Sheng’s true target was not Marguerite.
It was another person, and the person was named Madin Byrnbaer.
He was an inconspicuous old professor in Baine University’s back office.
As a professor, he was once one of the academy’s powerful Five-winged elites, but sadly, that was something very long ago.
He was already a hundred and ny years old now. The heavy injuries stemming from a battle many years ago had greatly shaved his lifespan short, and his abilities had plummeted all the way from Five Wings to Three Wings.
Every now and then he would need to go to Asterism’s hospital for a scheduled check-up to ensure the vitality of his internal organs and body.
Every meal he had to take in countless capsules with his normal food. He was too old, too weak.
Perhaps in a few more years he would suddenly die of old age at home like other Darksiders, and pass on without a word, without anyone to see to his funeral.
Without any descendants, his life during his youth was good, but at that age, he did not have anyone he could trust, and that wear upon him.
And today he took the meal out from the canteen as per usual back into the lecturer’s dorm. As he closed the door, he sat down to have his meal. But suddenly on the table he usually ate at, there was a white piece of paper that had appeared out of nowhere.
“A note?” Madin quizzically held his jittery hands out and opened it.
“If you do not wish to ept your fate, thene here, perhaps you will have the chance to break the cycle.”
Beneath it was an unknown address.
“Whose prank is this? Heh.” Madin sneered as he threw the note aside.
He was too old, too tired, and the curiosity of his youth had already long died.
But just as he threw the note away, the note suddenly lit up and popped into a faint dark fire.
Barely a secondter, the entire note turned into ash and dissipated into thin air.
Madin quickly reacted, and the moment he saw that, a thought struck him.
He had not sensed any dark power reaction earlier, and even if his dark powers had fallen to the level of a Three-winger, he still had the skill and techniques of a Five-winger.
A person of such caliber would not normally y such an inane prank with an old man like him in such close proximity.
And after keeping silent for a moment, he slowly picked up his spoon as he started to eat.
“Perhaps... I should pay that address a visit?”
He demurred as he recalled the address, an anticipant feeling welled up deep within him.
He really did not want to die...
Really.
...
Nighttime.
Lin Sheng carefully took a squirming flesh from the test container and ced it into an energy reaction chamber. He then turned it off and started to draw the air out.
“Change the environment, and continue to monitor the measurements.”
He was studying a piece of his own flesh.
His flesh, now enhanced by the Crag Dragon blood had been activated to the point of ridiculousness.
He was now testing if his flesh would have different activity levels and resistance in different environments. This would ensure if he could survive and adapt to treacherous terrains and environments.
As he monitored his flesh that was in a vacuum, Lin Sheng sensed his current physical condition at the same time.
Arge number of holy power roiled within him every moment, and these purifying powers were frenziedly enhancing every inch of his flesh and organs.
The Crag Dragon blood did the same too as it rapidly mutated and modified his internal body structure through the bone marrow to allow the body to better unleash the power of the Crag Dragon.
“My body is about to reach another level, and in another two days, I can go ahead to increase my dark and holy powers. But I need to work on my dark power skills as well. So this time around I should not focus all on increasing my total dark power, but rather to train on the techniques.”
Lin Sheng had nned ahead. He was already close to being a Four-winged Darksider with only the knowledge on how to use dark power threads. It was almost embarrassing.
That aside, his holy power should also breakthrough Level 11.
Level 11 was a watershed, and for ckfeather City, this was the hurdle the lowest level Councillor must pass.
“Using the Steel Lord as aparison, my body will strengthen once again, and then, with my Crag Dragon blood alone, my defense would be at a Five-wing level.
While I don’t know any other skills, but a strong defense is better than everything.”
His Crag Dragon blood was almost at Five Wings and his dark power Four Wings, but he did not count his holy power because he had no idea how strong a Level 11 Temr would be.
And there were no memories of such a person in ckfeather City.
He was now thinking about how to unify these three different systems into abat system that is unique to him.
*Hiss...*
And suddenly that blob of flesh in vacuum started secreting a faint yellow rockyer and covered itself in it.
Lin Sheng quickly turned on the radioscopy machine and using his dragon eyes, he quickly saw the changes within.
“Hmmm? Where is it getting energy from?? And its strength had increased by that much??” He was slightly astonished as he looked at the numbers on the monitoring device.
It was only hovering at about fifty-odd a moment ago, and now it had jumped all the way to three hundred, a six-fold increase!
And more importantly, Lin Sheng had no idea where the energy used by the flesh to create the stony shell came from.
“This power...” Lin Sheng could faintly feel that this was the true power of his Crag Dragon blood.
But he did not have any inheritance, and he could not master it.
“An inheritance...” He suddenly put his hand into hisb coat and pulled a prismatic crystal out of it.
It was that mysterious Crag Dragon crystal.
