The method to break through to the Third Ring is to activate another function of muscle fibers, Magic Pipeline!
Before this, the progress to the Second Ring rank needs to be enhanced.
The Moon Pupil Meditation Method should also reach a +2 breakthrough and achieve blue status, directly applying the Starry Sky Meditation Method as such is ultimately improper.
He calculated the time.
With natural cultivation, he felt it would take at least two years; if he took a shortcut by devouring the Curse Power, it would still need a year since the meditation method must keep up.
Considering this, the decision of whether to go or not becomes a problem.
Lin Suo weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to check out Crow Court first.
If it’s easy to obtain a large amount of Curse Power, then prioritize advancing the rank progress.
Then withdraw, find a desolate little island, and cultivate in seclusion for a year, and address everything else after the breakthrough.
If Curse Power is hard to come by.
Then head straight back to Koster.
Having made up his mind.
According to the division of the moon, Lin Suo flew towards the side where the Black Moon was, sitting on an upgraded Flying Magic Carpet.
Along the way, the sea and islands, though still tinged with crimson, noticeably show that this color is fading, and the scent belonging to darkness and curses begins to intensify.
Occasionally, he could even see the scene of crows crisscrossing the skies.
Various signs kept hinting to him, Crow Court is near!
The sound of the wind howling~
As the destination got closer, Lin Suo seemed to hear something.
The icon of "Historian" on the information panel was flashing, triggering the Time Ears of the Seeker completely and formally for the first time.
It was a cheerful yet sorrowful sound.
"I want a horse as black as night, swift as the wind; I want a sword as bright as moonlight; I want to ride my black horse in the night; I want to use the sword in my hand to eradicate all evil!"
In a trance, though he could only hear the voice.
He seemed to see a bald man holding Silver Steel Dual Swords, gently speaking to someone beside him...
The voice changed, and the illusion dissipated.
The voice of a death bird echoed in his mind, the sound of blades being drawn, mixed with the noise of flesh being trampled into mud and blood drenching the soil.
At that moment, a panting male voice spoke up.
"Boss, the brothers can’t hold on much longer."
"These damn flat-haired beasts, let’s retreat!!"
Another sonorous and firm male voice.
"We... are the Black Knight Order! We are the kingdom’s blades! We symbolize victory! We are the strongest cavalry of this era! Also... the last shields..."
"Have you all forgotten the oaths you took?!"
"But... but...the kingdom refuses support, our military supplies are running low, and the brothers’ physical strength is almost depleted."
"Then use your teeth, bite! Gnaw, use every possible way to hold off these bastards popping out of the squirrel... from the chrysanthemum... to the last breath!!!"
The voice gradually faded, Lin Suo suddenly came to his senses, realizing what he heard were the historical sounds of this land.
Judging from the situation, it seemed like it was before Crow Court was established.
The Black Knight Order?
That was truly unheard of by him; likely, they had been completely annihilated.
However, listening to the sounds of history can cause illusions in reality, it’s difficult to extricate oneself from such an authentic empathetic experience.
That means, once trapped in this state, his physical body is defenseless.
"It seems I need to expand the scope of the Historian ability quickly; it shouldn’t be confined only to the history of Dan Dong, the broader and deeper the range it encompasses, the more controlled the Time Ears of the Seeker are...
"Perhaps, I could see the true situation of history."
At this moment, Lin Suo had already landed on an island.
All around were dilapidated pitch-black buildings, resembling the remnants of a village.
Crow after crow with red eyes perched on dead trees, eerily watching him.
Lin Suo dared not be careless.
Muttering a magic spell accompanied by hand gestures, six seconds later, a layer of light white flowing clouds enveloped him.
This was the Third Ring Meteorological Witchcraft "Storm Airflow Circle," a defensive type.
In the "Late Bell Wizard Unified Sect Inheritance," it was considered quite good.
Only Lin Suo was not very skilled at it yet.
If applied in advance, without being attacked by external forces, it could last for ten hours without a problem.
Then, dense vines wrapped around him, as if he had donned a tight vine armor.
Only then did he hold the Bee Swarm and Thunder Snake, beginning to explore this dilapidated village.
Those ghastly red crow eyes landed on him.
Was there a hint of malice coming through his Heart Seal?
Lin Suo stopped and stood still.
Frowning at these crows, the Bee Swarm’s muzzles slightly lifted, and in the next moment, the murder of crows erupted like a black storm towards him.
Wave after wave of soul attacks fell on him like raindrops.
Instantly making his scalp tingle.
The Heart Seal, merged into his bloodline, formed a pale purple mental barrier, resisting the tide of attacks!
These red-eyed crows, turned out to be Demon Beasts.
And they were of the Soul Type!
A notable characteristic of Soul Type abilities was that they could only be resisted with mental power or soul power.
Soul Type attacks, if weaker, were like scraping bones, useless.
If stronger, they were like the "Death Finger," targeting anyone to instantly kill, possessing an extremely domineering instant-death effect, quite perverted.
Knowledge of the Soul Type was also one of the hardest inheritances to acquire!
Lin Suo dared not slack, without a second word he raised the Bee Swarm and madly fired.
Directly triggering maximum power.
Tongues of fire spewed from the firearm in his left hand, causing violent explosions upon touching any obstacle.
A single high explosive bomb was enough to destroy an ordinary house.
With a kill radius of 2.5 meters.
As Lin Suo swept through with the Bee Swarm, it directly overloaded and ceased operation, the air filled with the smell of burnt protein.
Yet the crows kept coming relentlessly, one batch cleaned up only for another to arrive.
The Dark Green Magic Ring showed up again.
Centered on Lin Suo, within a ten-meter radius, hundreds of thick vines erupted from the ground, tendrils of black Demon Spirit mist clung to and climbed the vines.
Transforming into numerous mini shark heads, ferociously biting at every crow.
With each one it devoured.
Lin Suo could feel the sensation of Curse Power entering his body, meaning, all these red-eyed crows contained some Curse Power!
He even didn’t let go of the previously shattered, charred crow corpses, splitting some power from the Demon Spirit Shark to form little sharks flowing through the air, sweeping up the bodies.
The long-lost sensation of advancing his realm was intoxicating.
Plant Control + Natural Contract.
The strength of the vines Lin Suo spurred had already risen to a new level, with endurance exaggerated to the point of being perverse.
In such a situation of crows filling the sky.
He could kill for ten days straight, without even gasping for breath.
However, as time passed...
The number of crows in the sky did not decrease, but the number Lin Suo could kill became fewer and fewer.
Their strength had increased! And instead of swarming him, they gathered in the distance, secretly launching soul attacks on him while also waiting for more of their companions to arrive.
Seeing this, Lin Suo knew he could not delay.
Turning on Mud Stone Transformation, he sank into the ground while the Earth Robe transformed his aura into the soil, shrinking underground without stirring again.
