Chapter 36 System Rewards, Battle Against Lin 7 Nights
After dinner, Lin Qiye and Ling Yue walked along the path to the training ground in the basement.
"Brother Yue, you've made it clear that you can't use the Five Elemental Locks, and your physical abilities must be at the Zhan Realm level to fight me," Lin Qiye reminded Ling Yue, still feeling uneasy.
They agreed to have a fight at the training ground right after they finished eating. The rules were to be as fair as possible: Ling Yue's physical abilities would be suppressed to the Zhan Realm and he would not be able to use the Five Element Locks, while Lin Qiye would not be restricted. Since it was daytime and Lin Qiye did not have the five-times attribute bonus, he was not worth Ling Yue's attention.
"Fine, fine, Qi Ye, do you think I'm the kind of person who would cheat?!" Ling Yue looked indignant. Lin Qi Ye had already repeated it three times on the way. Did Lin Qi Ye really think he was the kind of person who would cheat?
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Ling Yue: ...Looks like I need to teach him a lesson.
"Swords have no eyes, so why don't we use wooden weapons instead?" Lin Qiye suddenly felt a pang of unease looking at Ling Yue's fierce gaze. Don't misunderstand, he wasn't afraid of getting hurt himself, but rather afraid of hurting Ling Yue.
Ling Yue was quite helpless upon hearing this. "Fine then." He then walked straight to the iron rack holding the weapons and took down two wooden longswords from it.
Lin Qiye was also very puzzled upon seeing this, "When did you start using dual swords?" He then took out two swords himself. Although Zhao Kongcheng hadn't sacrificed himself this time, Chen Muye had still taught him the dual-sword style, naturally because Chen Muye's dual-sword style was the most powerful.
But Ling Yue's answer puzzled Lin Qiye greatly, "You know about the Dual Sword Style, right? Cough cough"
I thought Joey's Iron Tiger Steel Flash was really cool, so I decided to learn it.
Yes, Ling Yue's reason for learning the dual-sword style is simple: it looks cool. And when combined with the Iron Tiger Steel-Splitting Flash, it looks even cooler.
As for why he suddenly remembered Iron Tiger Breaking Steel Flash, it was because the system suddenly woke up last night.
Last night, Ling Yue had just finished downloading an adult novel and was about to go to sleep when the Ai Li System suddenly appeared, pouting and looking aggrieved: "Waaah~ Host, you haven't spoken to me for so many days, have you forgotten about me~?"
Ling Yue was startled by the sudden appearance of the system, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, he suddenly remembered that he had another system.
"Haha, I...of course I remember, but I just didn't think I needed to trouble you with anything..." Ling Yue knew he was in the wrong, so he even became a little more polite.
"Hmph~ What a bad host who uses and then throws away?" But the Ellie System didn't buy it. She turned her head to the side and pouted.
"Tell me, you must have something to say for coming here so suddenly, right?" As a true Sigma man, Ling Yue was definitely not going to try to make her happy.
The Ellie System pursed its lips and said, "We have detected an improvement in your mental state. You are now being rewarded with beast-type spirit cores, namely: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."
Ling Yue was instantly overjoyed by this unexpected surprise, and forgot all about the improvement in mental state that the system had mentioned.
"What?! You mean you're rewarding me with five Spirit Cores?!" Ling Yue was instantly incredibly excited. You have to know that Spirit Cores take a long time to transform into a Five Spirit Guardians. Being able to transform into a Five Spirit Guardians is like skipping the transformation process and directly possessing Spirit Cores. Isn't that amazing?
Of course, most importantly, Ling Yue thought the Five Spirit Guards' mecha form was even cooler, no matter which attribute they transformed into, they were all very cool.
"Yes, host, but there are conditions." Instantly, a huge stone with five colors and rich energy appeared in the palm of the Ellie System's right hand.
"Only when your realm reaches the River Realm of this world can you barely fuse and decompose this Five Elemental Core into five elemental cores, transforming it into an upgraded version of the Five Elemental Guardian, or even the Five Elemental King."
Hearing the system's words, Ling Yue's initially excited mood finally calmed down. "So, you're of no use to me now. You're just wasting my good mood."
The Ellie System scratched its head. "Uh...isn't this to urge the host to hurry up and improve their strength?"
"Alright, alright, I'll accept the Five Elemental Cores. You can go now." Ling Yue waved his hand, signaling the Ellie System to hurry back and not disturb his sleep.
The system realized it had disappointed its host and slunk away into Ling Yue's consciousness space.
As soon as the system left, Ling Yue, who was pretending to be asleep, quickly took out the huge Five Elemental Core that he had placed in the system space. The Five Elemental Core had immense energy, even stronger than the power that Lin Qiye had awakened when Ling Yue saw it. Ling Yue could even sense a violent aura hidden within it.
Ling Yue slowly brought the Five Element Lock on his left hand close to the Five Element Core, attempting to absorb it in advance. Of course, Ling Yue had already forgotten the warning from the Ellie System.
As Ling Yue pressed the Five Elemental Locks close to the Spirit Core, a violent destructive urge instantly enveloped his heart. It was an ancient, primordial will to destroy everything.
As if reacting to an urge, Ling Yue withdrew his left hand. After the Five Elemental Lock left the Five Elemental Core, the destructive desire that had been shrouding Ling Yue's heart slowly subsided until it disappeared completely.
Ling Yue suddenly felt a chill. "No wonder Piggy Hero couldn't fuse with the Five Spirit King for too long in the cartoon, or he would be devoured. No one could withstand that."
"Forget it, I'm going to sleep!" Ling Yue said, then fell asleep.
And so, the following scene unfolded—
"Brother Yue, what are you spacing out for?!" Ling Yue snapped out of his daze and saw Lin Qiye wielding two wooden swords and slashing at him.
Ling Yue, however, showed no fear and swung his two longswords as if they were a gate.
When the four wooden swords clashed, it was time to test the two men's proficiency with the weapons, as well as their combat skills and experience.
"Golden Spirit Power!" Ling Yue shouted, and the two wooden swords he held in his hands suddenly gleamed with a metallic luster. Lin Qiye quickly dodged the two swords to prevent his wooden knife from making contact with them.
What followed was a long battle with Ling Yue attacking and Lin Qiye defending.
Ling Yue wielded two longswords covered in metal. Lin Qiye dared not take each attack head-on, because he knew his twin swords would be cut in half by the longswords, and then he would have little chance of winning.
Because of the forbidden realm [Mortal God Realm], Lin Qiye was able to dodge Ling Yue's attacks or attack Ling Yue's palms without any serious danger each time.
Lin Qiye felt increasingly frustrated as the battle progressed, because ever since Ling Yue used the Golden Spirit Power, he had been on the defensive and passive, and it was only a matter of time before he lost if things continued like this.
Moreover, Ling Yue's physical strength and abilities far surpass those of Lin Qiye, who currently only possesses two forbidden realms, one of which can only be used at night.
"Huff—ha—huff..." Lin Qiye frowned, panting heavily, his breathing disordered.
Even Ling Yue could see the sweat sliding down Lin Qiye's face.
"Hoo—I can't take it anymore...I give up." Lin Qiye finally reached his limit. His hands, which were gripping the twin swords, were trembling violently, and his clothes were torn in many places by Ling Yue's twin swords.
"Heh, is that all, Qi Ye? I haven't had enough yet!" Seeing this, Ling Yue could only reluctantly put down his twin swords.
"No...you're too freakish, I can't beat you at all right now..." Lin Qiye's eyes were full of complicated emotions. Sometimes he couldn't even tell whether it was him or Ling Yue who had the cheat ability. Ling Yue's ability was simply superhuman, practically omnipotent.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye looked left and right, and after finding no one around, he leaned close to Ling Yue and whispered, "Brother Yue, do you have some kind of cheat ability like in novels? Otherwise, how can you be so amazing?"
Ling Yue remained silent, thinking to himself that Lin Qiye was simply invincible. If he hadn't read the novel, he would have thought that he was also a part of the novel.
Ling Yue chuckled and raised his hands in front of him: "If you're not good, then practice more. Don't worry, I'll give you more training in the future."
Lin Qiye: ...I advise you to be kind.
