Chapter 246: Don’t Panic, I Have a Big
Advantage
Shen Yuexin gave him a bored look and continued:
“Don’t get too ahead of yourself, that Ancient Ruin has nothing to do with us. We’re only involved on the surface level; the core of the Ancient Ruins is for theter stages of college. Every junior or senior student will have the chance to enter the Ancient Ruins one time to try and gain its recognition, but so far, no
one has seeded.”
“Not even a little chance?”
“None.”
The little aunt was very certain, and he suddenly felt deted.
She stretched out a delicate, jade-like finger with amusement and poked his forehead as she said:
“Don’t daydream too much. Even if you were given the chance now, you couldn’t go. And besides, just because we can’t reach the core of the Ancient Ruins doesn’t mean there are no benefits. On the contrary, the rewards are beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Do you want to hear about them or not?”
She asked this in a suddenly yful manner.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes:
“What do you think?”
“I think you’re not interested.”
“No, I am interested.”
“Sure.”
Bantering yfully, she continued with the serious matter at hand:
“We might not be able to enter the core of the Ruins of Myriad, but even the periphery holds lucrative rewards. The most important among them are the countless ordinary treasures and ny-nine Treasures of Myriad named after it. There are three levels of Treasures of Myriad; the lowest is the Treasures of Myriad with seventy-two in total, the middle level is the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse with twenty-four, and the highest level is the Divine Treasure of Myriad, which only has three.”
“Judging by the names and numbers, the fewer in quantity, the more valuable the Divine Treasure of Myriad is, followed by the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse, and then the Treasures of Myriad.”
“But don’t think the Treasures of Myriad are any less valuable. Even the least of them is worth as much as all the gains you’ve acquired since establishing your
Divine Realm.”
“Hiss!”
Lin Xiao sharply inhaled, but a secondter, he realized that his little aunt was probably talking about what she perceived as his gains, not the actual gains he’d had. He didn’t believe that among those treasures, there would be another Crystal Wall System’s Core or such arge Divine Kingdom fragment.
Nevertheless, even without those, just considering the cumtive gains any specially recruited yer would have had by this point in their development, it was still quite remarkable.
And besides, this was just the least of the Treasures of Myriad; there were also the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse and the Divine Treasure of Myriad above it.
“If you manage to obtain an All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse, and if your strength and potential are strong enough, you could leap over that threshold with such a gain, ranking not only among the sub-rankings of prodigies but also among the unparalleled. In fact, in the history of all the times the Myriad has been opened, ny percent of those who obtained an All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse were able to rank among the sub-rankings of prodigies after assimting their gains.”
“What about the Divine Treasure of Myriad?”
Shen Yuexin nced at him and retorted:
“Do I even need to answer that?”
“Uh, I meant to ask what’s inside the Divine Treasure of Myriad?
“I don’t know!”
“You don’t know?”
He was surprised.
Shen Yuexin nodded and said:
“Because ever since the Ruins of Myriad opened nearly two hundred thousand years ago, it has been activated thousands of times, every two to three years or as long as every dozen years, but only two people have ever gotten the Divine Treasure of Myriad.”
“Hiss!”
He gasped again.
Shen Yuexin ignored him and continued:
“One of those seniors who obtained the Divine Treasure of Myriadter perished unexpectedly; the other is now a being of Powerful Divine Power.”
“Let’s talk about something else. Do you know what’s inside the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse?”
Upon hearing him, Shen Yuexinughed lightly and said:
“Are you aiming for the All-Embracing Mysterious Storehouse?”
He chuckled and replied:
“People should always aspire to something, right?”
Her mind unexpectedly shed back to her ssmates saying he was too ugly,
and without thinking, she blurted out:
“Like you, a toad wanting to eat swan meat like me?”
Lin Xiao stared at her with wide eyes, and although it was just a projection, she couldn’t help but shrink back a little; he pretended to be angry and said:
“Don’t move; the toad ising for you.”
Shen Yuexin hurriedly waved her hands:
“No, don’t.”
The projection vanished instantly.
In the end, of course, he didn’t go; it was just yful talk. She quickly projected over again.
After chatting for a while, she clearly exined the situation of the Ruins of Myriad that they would visit for their midterms, giving him a clear understanding of what to expect during the exams.
Once he understood, he knew why both Gu Xiaoming and Dongfang Piaoxue had told him to live in peace—it was because the Ruins of Myriad involved multiple powers. The four major forces of the Main World were all involved, and there were no rules inside; those with strength could simply eliminate others. Lin Xiao was so powerful that they did not want to sh with him and naturally agreed to peace beforehand.
ording to Shen Yuexin, the rules within these Ruins of Myriad were somewhat special; everyone who entered had to follow them. Unfortunately, the specific rules changed slightly each time, so she simply didn’t mention them, saying they would find out when the time came.
Half an hourter, Lin Xiao applied to challenge Dongfang Piaoxue, the number one ranker on the Fengyun List.
In the virtual realm, Dongfang Piaoxue, with his eyebrows nting into his temples, proposed to Lin Xiao while standing against the background of the sky in the void:
“Since I can’t beat you anyway, let’spare our Core Races. How about we use our Core Races to fight?”
“Okay.”
He didn’t mind, since they couldn’t beat him anyway.
As the arena took shape and the races entered, Dongfang Piaoxue asked: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll go back on my word and fight with all my strength?” Lin Xiao nced at him and clenched his fist for emphasis:
“I’m not afraid. If you dare to cheat me, I’ll beat you to death next time.”
Dongfang Piaoxue
Once they agreed, the fight started simply; ten thousand Naga warriors descended and headed straight for the center of the realm, where they encountered Dongfang Piaoxue’s Core Race-numbering thirty thousand Elves. These were not ordinary Elves; simple Elves wouldn’t allow him to stand at the top of the Fengyun List. Through the eyes of his own race, Lin Xiao could see that each of these Elves was apanied by a small snow spirit the size of a palm, surrounded by a blue frosty aura.
This was a type of small sprite simr to Flower Fairies or Elemental Little Spirits. Speaking of which, Lin Xiao’s God’s realm had been developing for so long that creatures like the Flower Fairies had formed a considerable poption. In a protected flower sea within the Main Divine Realm, they had formed a quaint settlement, where it was eternally spring and flowers bloomed all year round, very beautiful indeed.
Dongfang Piaoxue’s little snow spirits must bepanion spirits for these Elves, with each Elf having one at their side.
The Elf is that Elf, and the little snow spirits have average strength individually, but when they work together with the Elves, thebined strength undergoes a qualitative change.
Before the two sides even approached, several volleys of ice arrows rained down. Countless arrows embedded into the ground as the cold air converged, causing the temperature to plummet and creatingrge patches of man-made frozen ground where the arrow rain fell, with the cold air lingering for a long time.
After unleashing over a dozen volleys in one breath, they artificially created severalrge patches of frozen ground about seven to eight hundred meters in diameter connected together. Then, surprisingly, the Elves put down their bows and began to cast spells.
Three waves of blizzards came down in session, apanied by ice explosions and ice spikes bombarding in turns. As the cold intensified, the front line of Naga warriors was instantly frozen into theyers of ice.
“Well, that’s quite something. Pair this with a bit of melee…
Before he could finish speaking, the front row of frost Elves pulled out a javelin from behind them, raising it as the cold air quickly dissipated onto the javelin. A blue magical light converged on the spear tip and with a strong throw, it struck into the Naga warriors who had just forcefully broken through the ice.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
With a series of crisp snaps, ice spears shattered, and cold ice fragments scattered everywhere in a misty fog.
It must be said that Dongfang Piaoxue’s upancy of the top spot on the Ranking of the Elite is indeed impressive. Thisbo set, whether in terms of killing power or restraining effects, is explosive. If the Asura Naga were not so strong as to ignore the freezing slowdown, there might have been a real chance of overturning the situation. Without immunity, no matter how strong one is, they could be slowly worn down to death.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs. Row upon row of Asura Naga, braving the chilling, intense arrow rain, charged out of the freezing ground right up to the faces of the elves.
The oue that followed needs no boration.
Facing these elites from Radiance, Lin Xiao had the feeling he had when he was initially at the Summer Camp confronting them with Wu Zhonglin: overwhelming force.
Of course, the gap in strength between him and them was not as exaggerated as the gap between Wu Zhonglin and the other participants during the Summer Camp, but he indeed felt it-he had also be very strong.
From the beginning to the end of the fight, the spectator channel was eerily silent. Compared to the previous round with Li Xiuyou, this battle was the most direct disy of his power.
By defeating Dongfang Piaoxue, he ascended directly to first ce on the Ranking of the Elite.
“Your core race is too domineering; there’s no way to fight against it, Dongfang Piaoxue sent him a message filled with admiration and respect after the battle.
“You’re also very strong. If my race hadn’t had such strong resistance, it would have been difficult to win against you,” he replied.
He wasn’t just being polite. If the frost slow-down and freeze effects had worked, Dongfang Piaoxue might indeed have had a chance to wear him down with hit-and-run tactics.
Of course, that is on the premise that rda wouldn’t make a move. If he did, all attempts would be in vain, or unless the opponent had a hero that could stand against rda.
After iming the top spot on the Ranking of the Elite, Lin Xiao waited for a while for a challenge, but when no one stepped forward, he stopped paying attention.
As he figured, probably no one would challenge him again after this.
In a towering high tower to the north of the Floating City, filled with many high school second-year homeroom teachers, a meeting was taking ce about who should be allocated the four spots to the Ruins of Myriad in the midterm exams of the second year of high school.
To be precise, the discussion revolved around the ownership of two extra spots besides the two already destined for the elite ss. So while other homeroom teachers were red-faced, rolling up their sleeves, nearlying to blows, Jin Sisi remained silent throughout, staring at the screen in front of her, seemingly engrossed in something.
After an unknown length of time, she suddenly felt someone calling her, and looking up, she heard the aged voice of the principal by her ear:
“The student you’ve been keeping an eye on has just consecutively defeated Li Xiushen and Dongfang Piaoxue from the first high school, and is now ranked first on the Ranking of the Elite.”
She was quite surprised and quickly checked the video that popped up on her screen, and the principal’s voice continued:
“I just took a look, and your student is very promising. You have a good eye.” “Thank you,” she acknowledged the extra spots besides the elite ss. She opened the video, and the scene quickly flooded her vision, momentarily transporting her to the virtual ne where the battle had just taken ce. In that video showing the battle with Li Xiushen, as the Asura Naga appeared, her pupils dted slightly. Being a female warrior of Level 7 in Divinity with the War Godship, she immediately recognized the terrifying aspect of this species..
