Chapter 152 - 146 Return 1
Lin Fei had thoroughly sorted out all the information available. His trip to Coastal City had essentially clarified how much Dream Eaters could help him and their significance. He also gathered some of Lin You’s information. The current situation was that he was just a bit short of reaching the peak of C rank. This was already the limit; though he could possibly continue to hunt Dream Eaters and even reach B rank, Lin Fei had decided not to continue the hunts. He could feel that his rapid advancement due to an unstable foundation caused problems with fully controlling his power. For example, during the fight with the Red Demon, if it wasn’t for his inability to perfectly control his strength, how could he have let it shatter his protective barrier and even break through and shatter the force he disguised on the surface of his body? This was already revealing drawbacks.
"According to An Caiyuan’s request, the agreed time should be in three months. Then it is immediately followed by the high school finals, and the selection of university preferences. As long as the current trajectory is maintained, perhaps the opponent’s attack methods and events will not undergo major changes. Otherwise, if a different method or event strikes suddenly, it would be far too troublesome."
Besides, the True Force Gemstone was also very important to him. When he absorbed the first gemstone, it gave him the foundation for entry. This was a reserve of potential for the future; at least for now, Lin Fei did not know of anything other than the True Force Gemstones that could increase his current total amount of True Force. The total amount of True Force determined his future rate of development. While it was also possible to gradually increase the total amount by slowly guiding it with the spirit, at the very least, it would take hundreds of years to reach the levels provided by a True Force Gemstone. The two were simply incomparable. Fusing with a True Force Gemstone might not increase Cultivation Level. However, it would lay a solid foundation for the cultivation of more advanced levels of the Sword Dao True Solution’s Qi Cultivation Chapters.
The First Layer of the Qi Cultivation Chapter focuses on speed, while the Second Layer focuses on strength. The degree of True Force needed for the Second Layer was far greater than that for the First Layer, and a single gemstone was far from enough. This was also why Lin Fei agreed early on to An Caiyuan’s terms. He needed to prepare for the cultivation of the Second Layer early. Without True Force Gemstones, even if he fully comprehended and practiced all of the Tracing Shadow Sword Art, he would be unable to proceed further and would have to remain at this level for hundreds of years to accumulate enough True Force. This was utterly intolerable.
So, the most pressing matters at hand seemed to be: one, the agreement with An Caiyuan regarding the True Force Gemstone. Two, the seizing of the True Lies Divine Artifact. As for the high school finals, there were still more than five months until the actual exams, so he could stabilize his Cultivation Level while reviewing for the exams. After all, it was a test that his parents had high expectations for, and it was also related to one of the aspects of his future plans. It could not be taken lightly. With intelligence greatly developed by pseudo True Force, naturally, it could not just be for show. Since investigating with pseudo True Force yielded no information, Lin Fei decided to personally uncover the secrets step by step. This could likely be another path for insurance in the future. Using biotechnology and physical research in the field of energy, he should be able to roughly glimpse some secrets.
Although it was just a brief organization of future developments, most directions had been clarified. The only unknown now was waiting for the information from Sis regarding the background of Judgment Knight Aisaha. If it was just Aisaha alone, then it would be relatively simple. But if it involved the entire Knight Order behind Aisaha, then what he would face in his future was undoubtedly the highest adjudicating body of the Holy See. There was a fundamental difference.
The morning sunlight streamed through the bedroom window onto Lin Fei’s face.
Whew!
He exhaled a light breath.
