Chapter 108 Star Body Skeleton, Blood Shadow 8%
The next morning.
Outside the Xingshu courtyard, the fog was very light.
The morning light in Longyuan City does not rise from the horizon like it does in the Seventh Safe Zone.
Instead, it fell down from the huge stargate crack in the sky.
Silvery-white light pierced through the clouds and spilled onto the flowerbeds in the courtyard.
The pale blue star-shaped flowers swayed gently, their edges sparkling with tiny star-like dots.
Lin Xiaoya sat by the window, holding a cup of rice porridge in her hands, but didn't drink much of it.
She didn't sleep well again last night.
The white pagoda in my dream.
The girl behind the door.
And that phrase, "Don't go into the White Pagoda," is like a fine needle, always piercing her heart.
Lin Yuan sat opposite him, quietly looking out the window.
After Qin Yuanlie's Dharma projection was shattered last night, the area around the Starry Courtyard returned to quiet.
But Lin Yuan knew.
This is just the calm before the storm.
The Qin family has already begun to mobilize its high-level resources.
Qin Zhao is dead.
The secret guards were wiped out.
Qin Yuanlie's Dharma image shattered.
What follows will not be the small-scale disruptions of the Freshman Hall.
However, for Lin Yuan, it made no difference.
Insects are fine too.
Wolf packs or something.
As long as it's in the way.
Just crush it.
Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Lin Xiaoya looked up.
"elder brother."
"Should I go open the door?"
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"Sit down."
He got up and walked to the courtyard gate.
The door opened.
Gu Changye stood outside.
His face still held that gentle smile.
But today, his eyes shone brighter than usual.
It felt like I watched a really great show last night.
"morning."
Gu Changye spoke with a smile.
Lin Yuan looked at him.
"What's up?"
Gu Changye sighed.
"Qin Yuanlie's Dharma projection was shattered by your 'master'."
He paused deliberately when he said the words "Master".
Lin Yuan did not react.
Gu Changye wasn't embarrassed and walked into the courtyard on his own.
"Qin Yuanlie, the First Elder of the Qin Family."
"Although it is only a projection of the Dharma body, it can be knocked to the knees with one punch and then forcibly crushed."
He looked at Lin Yuan.
"Your master has quite a temper, hehehe."
Lin Yuan sat back down at the table.
Get to the point.
Gu Changye sat down opposite him, his smile fading slightly.
"The key point is that you've already pushed the Qin family to the next level."
"If a freshman like Qin Zhao dies, they can swallow their anger."
"The three Grandmaster-level bodyguards are dead; they can continue their investigation."
"Qin Yuanlie's Dharma projection has shattered, so they can no longer pretend that nothing happened."
Lin Xiaoya's fingers tightened slightly when she heard the words "Qin family".
Lin Yuan glanced at her.
"Have a meal."
Lin Xiaoya lowered her head.
"oh."
Gu Changye looked at the brother and sister and continued:
"The three elders of the Qin family are all at the peak of the Commander Realm."
"They didn't want to alarm Qin Xuanxiao."
"But if this continues, Qin Xuanxiao will eventually emerge from seclusion."
Lin Yuan asked:
"Qin Xuanxiao?"
Gu Changye nodded.
"The Qin family patriarch."
"Mid-stage of the Marquis Realm."
"He has been in seclusion for many years, and I heard he is trying to achieve the later stage of being granted the title of Marquis."
"They wouldn't easily alert him unless the Qin family was truly in dire straits."
Lin Yuan picked up his teacup.
"Mid-stage of being granted the title of Marquis."
He repeated it in a low voice.
Gu Changye looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you find it troublesome?"
Lin Yuan took a sip of tea.
"It's alright."
Gu Changye remained silent for a moment.
Then he laughed out loud.
"I knew it."
Lin Yuan put down his teacup.
Get to the point.
Gu Changye's smile faded.
"The real trouble isn't Qin Xuanxiao."
"At least not now."
"He's still in seclusion and won't make a move immediately."
"The real problem is that the Qin family controls the Resource Institute."
Gu Changye reached out and pointed at Lin Xiaoya.
"The Resource Institute can influence her retest."
"It will affect your Star Source Pool eligibility."
"It's even possible to use a program to gradually bring her closer to the White Tower."
Upon hearing the words "White Pagoda".
Lin Xiaoya's face turned slightly pale.
Lin Yuan's eyes also turned cold.
Gu Changye keenly noticed this.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoya and lowered his voice.
"Did she have a dream?"
Lin Yuan looked at him.
Gu Changye shrugged.
"I just guessed."
"If someone with a constitution like the 'Purifying Gate' is truly related to the gate, their dreams will definitely show a reaction first."
"The White Pagoda's original plan to cleanse the gate was also related to dream records."
Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but look up.
"You're also aware of the Clean Door Project?"
Gu Changye looked at her, his smile softening slightly.
"I know a little."
"But not many."
"After all, that thing was sealed very deep."
He didn't continue.
He knew that talking too much about Lin Xiaoya in front of Lin Yuan could easily make the atmosphere dangerous.
Gu Changye returned to the main topic.
"That's why I'm here to remind you."
"The Qin family's next move may not be a direct confrontation."
"They are likely to continue testing the waters while using the Resource Institute's procedures to pressure Lin Xiaoya."
"To make you lose patience."
"As long as you wreak havoc in Longyuan City, they will have a reason to send the Elders' Council, the Zhenxing Army, or even Qin Xuanxiao to intervene."
Lin Yuan remained calm.
"Is the Star Source Pool open today?"
Gu Changye was taken aback.
He had thought that once he got to this point in his story, Lin Yuan would at least ask about the Qin family's plans.
It still turns out to be Star Source Pool.
Gu Changye lowered his head and chuckled.
"open."
"The area surrounding the Star Source Pool has been restored."
"The core subsidence area is temporarily sealed off."
"But your core observation qualification remains."
Lin Yuan stood up.
"That's enough."
Gu Changye looked at him.
"Are you going now?"
"Um."
"The Qin family may be preparing for their next move."
Lin Yuan walked towards the door.
"Then let them prepare."
Gu Changye watched his retreating figure and suddenly asked:
"Aren't you afraid they're already prepared?"
Lin Yuan did not stop walking.
"Ready."
"It's only enough to eat."
The courtyard was quiet for a moment.
Gu Changye's smile gradually widened.
Lin Xiaoya asked in a low voice:
"Brother, are you going to the Star Source Pool?"
Lin Yuan turned around.
"Um."
"Then come back soon."
"it is good."
Lin Yuan left the Star Family Courtyard.
Gu Changye did not follow.
He sat in the courtyard, looking at the star-rice tea on the table, and said softly:
"The Qin family, oh the Qin family."
"You'd better prepare more."
"Otherwise, there really won't be enough for him to eat."
……
Star Source Pool.
The silver-white gate opened again.
When the instructors from the Resource Institute saw Lin Yuan, their expressions were beyond words.
I just joined yesterday.
I'm here again today.
Moreover, every time Lin Yuan comes, the Star Source Pool's loss curve will show a so-called "natural settling".
The Institute of Resources was not entirely without doubts.
There is simply no evidence.
more importantly.
The Marquis of Zhenxing personally determined that Lin Yuan's qualifications still apply.
They dared not stop them.
The guard instructor said in a deep voice:
"Today, we can still only enter the outer area."
"Do not approach the core settlement zone."
Lin Yuan accepted the qualification token.
"understood."
The silver-white gate closed.
The familiar aura of star energy rushed towards me.
Lin Yuan walked to the edge of the pool and sat down cross-legged.
The Ultimate Star Furnace within his body slowly rotated.
boom.
A heavy echo resounded from deep within the body.
Strands of stellar energy overflowed and were drawn into the body by the star furnace.
A system notification appears.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 630000]
[Overflow of star source water detected in the star source pool]
[Removing impurities]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
This time, he didn't pursue speed.
Instead, carefully observe the changes inside your body.
After his last absorption of star essence, tiny star-like particles had already appeared deep within his bones.
Today, as more star energy is refined, those star points are becoming clearer.
It doesn't float on the surface of the bone.
Rather, it is embedded deep within the marrow.
Like fragments of stars compressed to their extreme.
Within the dark gold bones, a very thin silver-white line faintly emerges.
That's not a crack.
It's star trails, not stars.
After the star source was refined by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace, it flowed into the bones along the blood, and was continuously compacted, eventually forming strands of nascent star trails.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 634000]
Lin Yuan's breathing was slow.
With each inhale, the stellar energy enters the body.
With each breath, impurities are burned away by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.
When the blood flows, starlight no longer appears only occasionally in the dark gold blood.
Instead, there are tiny, silvery-white specks of light floating along the blood vessels.
Like a galaxy flowing inside the body.
Deep within the muscles, changes also begin to occur.
Every inch of fiber is repeatedly tempered by Xingyuan.
tension.
Compact.
Then rearrange them.
This is not the body tempering of an ordinary martial artist.
Ordinary body training strengthens the skin, flesh, muscles, and bones.
Lin Yuan is currently transforming his physical body little by little into a container capable of carrying the Star Gate Source Tide.
Extreme Star Body.
For the first time, this name truly came to mind.
It's not simply about being stronger.
Instead, it's better at pretending.
It can hold more blood and qi.
It can hold even more violent star sources.
It can hold the energy behind the doors of higher levels.
Lin Yuan's heart stirred.
"system."
"After mastering the Ultimate Star Body, what changes occur when Blood Shadow possesses a projection of the Star Body's skeleton?"
The system notification appeared quickly.
After the Ultimate Star Body is formed, the Ultimate Blood Shadow can obtain a projection of the Star Body skeleton.
[With the Extreme Dao Star Furnace providing remote power, the Extreme Dao Blood Shadow can possess up to 80% of its original strength.]
[The Ultimate Blood Shadow can perform three stages of transformation in a short period of time]
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
Blood Shadow possesses 80% of the original's strength.
It can also perform three stages of transformation in a short period of time.
In other words.
Once the Ultimate Star Body is formed, he will not need his physical body to appear; the Blood Shadow will be able to carry out the vast majority of the killings.
Even to outsiders, the senior in the blood-stained face becomes more real.
more powerful.
It's more like an ancient, independent cultivator.
A faint hint of anticipation finally surfaced in Lin Yuan's eyes.
"Seven hundred thousand times."
"It's worth waiting for."
The system indicated that the beeping continued.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 637000]
At this point, the speed of Star Source Absorption and Refinement decreased significantly again.
Lin Yuan could sense that the outer edge of the ordinary Star Source Pool was offering him increasingly limited assistance.
First time entering the pool.
After devouring the Star Eclipse Beast and the Star Gate Disaster Shadow, it directly broke through to 620,000.
Second slow repair.
Increase it 10,000 times.
This time.
Only 7,000 upgrades.
As the compression progresses, the energy required for each compression increases exponentially.
Lin Yuan looked into the depths of the Star Origin Pool.
The area remains sealed off by a light curtain.
But deeper inside, it connects to the Dragon Abyss Main Star Gate.
What truly allows him to continue improving rapidly is not the pool of water outside.
It is the main star gate tide.
Or, the core of a higher-level black gate.
Lin Yuan stood up.
"That's not enough."
"We need something bigger."
……
The Black Tower of the Celestial Patrol Bureau.
Gu Changye looked at the Star Source Pool's depletion curve and chuckled.
"Is this another case of natural subsidence?"
The subordinate whispered:
"The Resources Institute has not yet reached a conclusion."
"They believe that since the Star Source Pool restarted yesterday, the energy structure is still recovering, so the fluctuation in energy loss is normal."
Gu Changye shook his head.
"normal."
"Of course it's normal."
He stared at the point where the curve was descending, his eyes bright.
"It's so normal that it sinks a little every time Lin Yuan goes in."
The subordinates dared not respond.
Gu Changye closed the light screen.
"Continue recording."
"Don't remind the Resource Institute."
The subordinate was taken aback.
"grown ups?"
Gu Changye said calmly:
"Reminding them now would be a bad idea."
"Let them continue to believe that the granary is just leaky."
"Don't let them know that there's a monster living in the granary that eats stargates."
……
at night.
Above Longyuan City.
The crack in the main star gate lay silently across the sky.
The silvery-white star tide flowed slowly as usual.
But at a certain moment...
Deep within the star tide, a faint, ghostly blue crack suddenly flashed.
The crack was very fine.
It is so fine that it is almost impossible for ordinary observation arrays to detect it.
But on the Zhenxing Army's front-line observation platform, several personnel on duty looked up at the same time.
"What was that just now?"
"Star Tide Noise?"
"No, write it down."
Longyuan Academy.
Inside the Stargate Observatory, a suspended silver-white compass trembled slightly.
The supervisor in charge of the observation frowned.
"Is the main star gate experiencing premature tidal fluctuations?"
"How could it be so fast?"
Meanwhile, in the Starry Courtyard.
Lin Yuan stood by the window and looked up at the sky.
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within his body suddenly rotated slightly.
The system prompt appeared silently.
[Anomaly detected in the tidal patterns of the Dragon Abyss Main Star Gate]
[High-level stargate energy fluctuations detected]
[Hint: This fluctuation may help unlock the Extreme Star Body]
Lin Yuan stared at the fleeting, dark blue crack deep in the sky.
His gaze was calm.
"Is the big one here?"
