Lin Yuan said, “Genius, we should try our best to record all 15 floors worth of combat skills and fighting strategies by the end of today.”
Genius looked at the hundreds of shelves stacked full of ancient tomes and meowed as it said, “I can memorize things quickly, but I can’t read these books as quickly.”
Genius felt that his little paws would not be able to flip through 20 books in one day, much less hundreds.
Lin Yuan massaged Genius’ head and took a Star Web Card out of a box on one of the shelves.
Although all the information in the Hidden Moon Pavilion was presented in books, a backup set had also been stored on Star Web.
Genius’ eyes lit up when it saw the Star Web Card and said in a child-like voice, “Even if there are ten times more mines of information on Star Web, I would only need half an hour to memorize and organize all of it.”
Lin Yuan and Genius started taking out all the Star Web Cards on the shelves.
Genius logged onto Star Web and rapidly memorized all the combat skills and fighting strategies in the books.
After Genius memorized all 15 floors worth of information, Lin Yuan used the Muscle Hyperthymesia Grass again. Every muscle in Lin Yuan’s body went into a hyper-memory state to memorize all the combat skills and fighting strategies that had been recorded in the 15 floors worth of books with Genius’ Connected Tails.
Lin Yuan recovered from the hyper-memory state and clenched his fist half an hour later.
Lin Yuan activated Blackie’s Spirit Essence Explosion, and a ball of blustering spirit qi appeared on top of Lin Yuan’s fist.
He realized that after learning all the complicated combat skills and fighting strategies, the muscles in his body had such fine control that it was almost magical.
This allowed Lin Yuan’s control of Spirit Essence Explosion to increase even further.
The muscles and spirit qi in the body supported each other.
Lin Yuan had finally perfectly combined the power of Spirit Essence Explosion with his own, and this would allow him to use Spirit Essence Explosion freely during battle to produce the greatest explosive damage.
Lin Yuan’s trump card for victory at the Guard Ye Banquet’s Martial Arts Stage would be this.
When Lin Yuan was about to return to the mansion, Liu Jie, who had been staying at the Spirit Guards’ land, opened his eyes.
The first thing that Liu Jie saw was Night Leaning Moon, who had been standing guard over him. Liu Jie hurriedly said, “Master, my Insect Queen has finished consuming the seven insect-species carcinoma feys and used its genes to recreate them. I can now control the seven insect-species carcinoma feys as I please.”
Liu Jie could not help but sigh in amazement. He had really been granted a huge blessing after crossing an insurmountable obstacle.
The Insect Queen that Lin Yuan had saved had mutated in an advantageous direction after absorbing the Blade Queen Bee’s spiritual poison. It had actually gained all of the Blade Queen Bee’s abilities and could control the Blade Worms.
However, the Blade Worms that the Insect Queen controlled were different from those that the Blade Queen Bee had controlled.
‘Blade Worm’ was just a blanket term. The Insect Queen could control any insect-species carcinoma fey with this spiritual poison, even the Blade Queen Bee.
A carcinoma fey like the Blade Queen Bee would be described as a disastrous entity on any battleground, and the Insect Queen had gained control of eight types of such disastrous entities.
Night Leaning Moon nodded. The shawl hid her face, but it was apparent from her gaze that she was in awe of Liu Jie’s growth.
“The plan that I mentioned to you can finally be carried out. This Insect Queen has created seven insect-species carcinoma feys, and including the Blade Queen Bee, you now have eight insect-species carcinoma feys under your control.
“However, this is just a start. Over millennia, especially during the Spirit Qi Thinning period, the Spirit Guards had collected over 1,000 types of insect-species carcinoma feys.
“When your Insect Queen gains more spiritual power, I’ll pick some insect-species carcinoma feys for you. From now on, you can use the Insect Queen to control more insect-species carcinoma feys and use each of them as a unique weapon. Your Insect Queen will become an arsenal that stores these weapons. But you should only use your sacred source lifeform as your weapon of last resort.”
Liu Jie smiled and nodded as he replied, “Don’t worry, Master. I will do my best during the Guard Ye Banquet’s Martial Stage.”
“I wasn’t the one who wanted to hold the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage. Those old fellows are the ones who want to see what the younger generation of the top factions is capable of. The prize for the Arts Stage is an Island Whale that’s about to hatch,” said Night Leaning Moon.
When he heard what the prize for the Arts Stage was, Liu Jie’s heart skipped a beat because he never expected an Island Whale that was about to hatch to be the prize.
Even a strategic-class like the Island Whale would be paraded around in public, and it was clear how stiff the competition for the Arts Stage was.
As the parallel to the Arts Stage, the Martial Stage’s prize was not any less impressive.
Liu Jie did not have to guess what the prize for the Martial Arts Stage, which was even more prestigious than the Arts Stage and Martial Stage, was as Night Leaning Moon continued. “The prize for the Martial Stage is the chance to create a custom-made weapon. The sacred source lifeform that will be used to make the weapon will be at least 4 Stars but not more than 6 Stars and will be sponsored by the Bamboo Monarch. As for the Martial Arts Stage’s prize, it will be a sacred source lifeform and the Order of Radiant Light.”
Liu Jie inhaled sharply, and he could not help but exclaim, “The Order of Radiant Light!?”
The prizes for the Martial Stage and Arts Stage had already astonished Liu Jie, but it was nothing compared to how he felt about the Order of Radiant Light.
