Chapter 153 Support Arrives
Chapter 153 Support Arrives
"Sister Su Wan, I made this decision after careful consideration, taking into account my own strengths. I believe in myself and I will definitely not let you down."
Lin Yao's tone was full of confidence, and his inner strength allowed him to be so confident.
Besides their elemental power, the Emperor Armor and the Five Shadow Stones within the body also contain certain spatial attributes.
Otherwise, how could the summoned armored battle chariots possibly chase after those alien beasts with spatial abilities?
Furthermore, Lin Yao himself cultivated the Prison Suppressing Demon Body technique, which can both strengthen his own spatial power and suppress spatial power.
More importantly, he can travel through various mission worlds and deepen his understanding of spatial power in the process of completing missions.
Taking all these advantages into account, Lin Yao felt more and more that the secondary profession of array master, which required late-stage development to unleash earth-shattering power, was a perfect match for him.
This is why he chose the array master's inheritance without hesitation.
Moreover, in Lin Yao's view, his future opponents will not be those of the same age or level, but those old monsters who have been hiding for who knows how long and who like to attack in groups when they make a move.
If one lacks the ability to fully leverage one's own strengths, enhance one's combat capabilities, and thus reduce reliance on the Emperor's Armor.
Lin Yao was also somewhat uneasy about exploring the increasingly powerful mission space ahead, as it was too easy for others to target him.
"Don't be so sure of yourself, kid. But what you just said really convinced me. Okay, I'm looking forward to it. I hope you can surprise me."
Su Wan sensed the firmness in Lin Yao's methodical words, and her bright eyes gazed at him quietly for a moment.
A moment later, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
……
In a secluded corner of the camp's training ground, Lin Yao was intently practicing his control over the three-dimensional space within a five-meter radius around him.
He channeled the powerful inner energy within his body, transforming it into fine, imperceptible threads of power that then rapidly and precisely spread throughout all key areas.
This is the foundation for becoming a formation master, training one's precise control over positions, honing one's mental strength, and improving the precision of one's control over power.
Lin Yao must ensure that his strength is not a fraction more or less, and that he can land precisely at the designated point at the most opportune moment.
These seemingly monotonous movements, which actually contain a sense of spatial beauty, attracted the attention of many reincarnators, all of whom showed expressions of surprise.
"Isn't this the newcomer we met at the camp gate? I heard he's incredibly lucky and got in touch with the camp's higher-ups, which is why he had such a strong presence when he appeared earlier."
"Indeed, this newcomer doesn't seem simple. Sigh, what exactly is he doing? It feels like he's studying some profound secret."
"He must be practicing some kind of skill. His control over his internal energy is so exquisite. He'll probably be good at whatever he does."
"I heard that he not only has connections with the locals in the camp, but also has a close relationship with Boss Zhuo, who comes from the military region."
This young man has quite a wide network of connections; he's a veritable social butterfly.
With such connections and support, even a complete idiot could soar to great heights. Sigh, comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.
"According to you, if this kid can seize the opportunity in this mission space, his future is limitless."
"I don't think so. He's just wasting his time. If I had his resources, I would definitely seize every minute to improve my strength and turn it into real combat power."
Why waste time like him? He's just a child at heart, always playing with these fancy but useless things.
"That's right. In the radiance of the bright moon, the most powerful are those spells that can unleash super offensive power. Their power is astonishing, capable of moving mountains and filling seas at will."
There are also prestigious secondary professions, such as alchemists and weapon refiners, whose individual skills can support a powerful family.
But this young man is neither good at either of those things; he's simply wasting his precious time.
……
Lin Yao seemed oblivious to the discussions around him, especially those filled with jealousy that he could do the same or even better.
His movements of manipulating true energy did not falter in the slightest; he remained as steady as ever, completely unaffected.
Before formally receiving the inheritance of a formation master, it is extremely beneficial to familiarize one's mind and body with the use of internal energy.
Lin Yao already possessed formidable mental strength and held numerous powerful trump cards, so even with his internal energy surging violently, he couldn't stir up any trouble.
However, once you release and utilize your true energy, the situation changes completely. Once the true energy leaves the body, it becomes extremely unruly, and you have to put in a lot of hard work to master it.
As for why Lin Yao didn't use his full strength and instead chose a secluded place to cultivate, he had his own reasons.
Since he chose to join Zhou Zhuoran's organization, he naturally wanted to carefully cultivate his image before the war in the mission space fully broke out.
Only in this way can they smoothly integrate into the powerful forces within the Blue Star Federation that have been painstakingly cultivating their presence in the Reincarnation Space for decades.
While it's good to be confident in one's own strength, Lin Yao would never underestimate other forces, so he put extra effort into understanding them.
With a good image established and with Lu Yiwen's assistance, Lin Yao was able to successfully infiltrate the core layer and use it as a springboard to gain a deeper understanding of other reincarnated forces.
Such cautious actions can also avoid prematurely arousing the vigilance and targeting of those old monsters, preventing a disastrous start and turning one into a tragic protagonist.
As for those trivial gossips, Lin Yao didn't care at all. On the contrary, he felt that this was a good opportunity to hone his focus.
As another round of practice ended, a familiar figure strode over – it was Zhou Zhuoran.
"Xiao Yao, stop practicing for a moment. I've received some news and need to share it with everyone. You should listen too."
Zhou Zhuoran first greeted Lin Yao, then raised his voice and shouted to the reincarnators who were chatting and watching, as well as those who were honing their skills.
"We've met before and are fortunate enough to be assigned to the same camp. I've just received some intelligence, and I'd like to share it with you all."
"The cycle of reincarnation is always fair. The more dangerous the place, the greater the reward. And it will never assign a task that is certain to lead to death."
Just like the current war between the two countries, we only need to complete one mission to obtain abundant cultivation resources, and then we can withdraw from the front lines and safely spend this mission world.
On the training ground, whether they were just discussing Lin Yao or were focused on honing their skills, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Zhou Zhuoran.
After listening quietly, everyone fell silent for a moment, as if digesting the information. Then, a noisy discussion suddenly broke out.
"We can withdraw from the front lines after completing a mission? That's great! I thought I was going to die here!"
"I'm only at the early stage of Qi Refining. Staying even a moment longer on this battlefield teeming with Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators is tantamount to risking my life."
"That's right. When I was first assigned here, I thought I was going to die."
"Wait a minute, I remember I've already completed my battlefield mission, so why do I have to come to the front lines? Shouldn't I be hiding in the rear?"
"They probably didn't kill any enemy Reincarnators, which is the largest part of the mission in this mission space."
"Now that you mention it, it really is..."
"..."
Amidst the cacophony of sounds, Lin Yao paused his work as Zhou Zhuoran spoke, listening intently while discreetly observing the situation.
He could tell at a glance that the number of reincarnators had been reduced by half compared to when they first arrived on the battlefield.
This astonishing elimination rate not only highlights the brutality of the battlefield between the two countries, but also underscores the difficulty of advancing to higher ranks.
Currently, the Longyuan Dynasty still holds the advantage. If the situation worsens, it may lose half of its reincarnators.
Although Lin Yao had previously killed a group of reincarnators from the Ruolan Empire and eliminated a Nascent Soul Realm expert from the Tianyin Palace, thus raising the hidden evaluation of the mission quite high.
However, given the current situation, he has not yet met the conditions for advancement and will still have to participate in this mission to get a share of the spoils on the battlefield.
"Judging from the current situation, and considering that Sister Su Wan is not one to seek quick success or instant benefits, if nothing unexpected happens, the reinforcements should be arriving soon. I guess they plan to finish this quickly and go home."
This time, the Longyuan Dynasty fought against several others, and this place served as the battlefield between the Longyuan Dynasty and the Ruolan Empire.
Although the Ruolan Empire is not very strong overall, it can still hold off one force, so the two sides have been locked in a fierce battle for a long time.
If Su Wanruo wants to end this battle while avoiding significant losses, a powerful figure must come to her aid.
Just as Lin Yao was secretly speculating, Zhou Zhuoran was still imparting battlefield survival tips to everyone in the tone of someone who had been there before.
Suddenly, a powerful aura swept in like a whirlwind, then stopped abruptly outside the camp. Immediately afterward, a figure gracefully landed inside the camp.
"This is to welcome you, sir."
At the heart of the camp, a unified shout suddenly rang out.
"So it was this person..."
Sensing that aura no weaker than Su Wan's, Lin Yao's guess was confirmed.
"So that's how it is. Another Nascent Soul expert. No wonder True Monarch Su is confident of ending this war in a short period of time."
At this moment, Zhou Zhuoran also turned his head to look at the highly respected figure, his eyes filled with longing, and his words revealed that he had expected it.
