Chapter 28: The Image of the Mirror of Qiling
"No, I have something else to do. I just wrote down your contact information and will contact you later."
Lu Yuan passed by Lin Chen and waved.
Lin Chen also waved his hand to say goodbye.
"Oh, by the way, there is a milk tea shop right here." Lu Yuan suddenly turned around and pointed in a direction.
"I like Tianxing Xuancao tea."
Lin Chen looked in the direction pointed by Lu Yuan and nodded.
Tianxing Xuancao Tea? Are you sure this milk tea is serious?
Lin Chen walked in the direction pointed by Lu Yuan and found a milk tea shop. After hesitating for a long time, he ordered five cups of taro Bobo tea.
Next time I'm alone, I'll try some Tianxing Xuancao tea.
If it is a niche taste, the loss is not big.
Lin Chen took a taxi and went directly back to school.
It was just in time for dinner, and all the cooks were swarming past.
Last night, several people in the dormitory had added friends and formed a group.
Lin Chen turned on his phone.
[Lin Chen: Where are you? 】
A message came back a few moments later.
[Hao Wentao: Still in the duel field, are you back? The battle here is not over yet, Zuo Tian is still on the field]
[Lin Chen: Arriving soon]
After a while, Lin Chen rushed to the duel field, where battles were going on in several places.
Lin Chen searched for a while and found Hao Wentao and others, and quickly handed them the milk tea.
On this field, Zuo Tian was having a fierce battle.
"Xiao Li, use [Blitz Attack]!"
"Big Mouth, get out of the way!"
Two monsters on the field were attacking each other fiercely.
Lin Chen took a sip of milk tea, the temperature was just right.
I turned on my phone, downloaded the hunter software, and logged in to my hunter account.
I glanced at the news a few times and found nothing important, so I turned to the afternoon class.
An introduction class on demons and a meditation class.
"Zuo Tian wins!" Hao Wentao shouted.
Only then did Lin Chen raise his head and asked:
"What are the rankings now?"
Fan Chengxi looked over and replied slowly:
"Basically, only the rankings between the same race levels have changed. Chang Yue defeated Hao Wentao after you left and became the second place. I am still the fourth place. Zuo Tian just challenged the fifth place and succeeded.
"
"The first five in our dormitory." Lin Chen took a sip of milk tea.
"This is because everyone has just hatched the demon spirits, and the racial level basically determines the combat power. Later, the disadvantage of the slow growth rate of the racial level will be reflected, and the ranking will change." Fan Chengxi said.
"Lin Chen, you're back too, let's go! Let's go have a meal and have a celebration party!" Zuo Tian came down from the field.
"But I lost, so there is no merit." Hao Wentao said.
"Then let's hold a condolence meeting." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Chen then searched the crowd, saw Xiao Xinyu, and told his roommate to wait for him.
Then he handed the remaining cup of milk tea to Xiao Xinyu amidst boos.
Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
At this point, the morning is over and the afternoon will be normal classes.
During the lunch break, everyone talked about the Beifeng City Spirit Taming Master Challenge.
"I got some tickets here, let's go watch the game when the event starts!" Hao Wentao said.
"I heard that all the top ten students in our school participated in the competition. They said that the school awarded thousands of credits for winning the ranking."
"I want to go too, but it will take at least two hundred days for my black-armored fire turtle to reach four stars, and that's on the premise of eating ten crystal cores every day."
Hao Wentao sighed.
Fan Chengxi continued:
"You must also pay attention to cultivating the compatibility with the bonded spirit, and also pay attention to cultivating your own soul power. According to official statistics, 90% of the spirit masters who can pass the audition are intermediate spirit masters."
"Even those who are the favorites to win the championship have reached advanced levels. Each of the four bonded spirits is four-star, and they can all be controlled at the same time."
"The senior spirit controller's bonded spirit is only four stars, how strong can it be? Whoever is lucky and draws the monarch race will be better." Zuo Tian said disdainfully.
"You can't say that. There are many aspects that affect combat effectiveness, and racial level is not an insurmountable gap."
Fan Chengxi continued.
"What are the advantages of high-level demons over low-level demons? They are physically stronger, their spiritual power is more friendly, and their abilities are more comprehensive. The most intuitive advantages are these three points."
"But as long as these three points are overcome, the disadvantages caused by racial class will be greatly offset."
"There are already ways to overcome the first two points. There is a type of person among spirit masters called adventurers. After the world barrier was broken, various ruins appeared all over the world, and adventurers are the ones who conquer these ruins."
"A large amount of materials will be produced in the ruins, containing huge abilities, but they cannot be used directly by demons..."
Hao Wentao asked quickly: "Can't use it? Why?"
Fan Chengxi replied: "Maybe it's because they come from different worlds, their compatibility does not match, or there are other factors."
"Then since it can't be used, why do you talk about it?" Zuo Tian was curious.
"Yes, what does not being able to use have to do with improving the demon spirit?" Hao Wentao also said.
Lin Chen was silent for a while and said: "Can these materials strengthen [relics]?"
"[Relic]?" Zuo Tian and Hao Wentao wondered at the same time.
Fan Chengxi pushed up his glasses: "Yes! It's the [Relic]! There are other things in the ruins. Those things seem to bear the imprint of the original world. They are called [Relics]."
"[Relic] can absorb the extraordinary materials dropped by the ruins, and [Relic] can be carried on the demon spirit, so the demon spirit is strengthened."
Lin Chen and others looked thoughtful after listening to Fan Chengxi's words.
"So, determining the strength of a demon spirit depends on the race level, growth level, and [relic]?" Zuo Tian asked.
Fan Chengxi nodded: "But [Relic] has a characteristic. Once it is equipped on a demon spirit, it cannot be removed. And a demon spirit can be equipped with up to five [Relics]."
"So, when cultivating a demon spirit, you must carefully choose the direction of its cultivation on the basis of its healthy growth."
"A demon spirit of the mortal race is only cultivated in one direction, and in this aspect it will exceed the balanced cultivation of the monarch race."
"And the spirit master will not only have one demon spirit. As long as he skillfully switches the combined form of the war spirit, the abilities of the demon spirits will complement and promote each other. Even the monarch race of the same level will lose all advantages."
Lin Chen probably understood what Fan Chengxi meant.
It's like a top student who ranks first in total scores, but does not rank first in each individual subject.
And adding up the highest scores in each single subject is higher than the top student's total score.
That's probably what it means.
"My dad is an adventurer, and this is the lowest white [relic] he gave me."
Fan Chengxi said and took out a broken hourglass.
"This is not a [spiritual contract], but the only difference is that the [relics] will glow faintly."
"In principle, [relics] also belong to the [spiritual contract], but the world where [relics] exist has been destroyed."
"Such a [relic] is basically not worthy of being equipped to a demon. It will waste an equipment slot. Take a look."
Fan Chengxi handed the [Relic] to Lin Chen. The moment Lin Chen touched the [Relic], a picture suddenly flashed in the [Mirror of the Spirit].
A dilapidated ancient city, the sky is gray, filled with smoke, broken flags, broken armor...
"...[Relics] also belong to the [Spiritual Contract]!"
