Chapter 305 - 3

Chapter 3 New Dai YouhengThe arrow was on the string and had to be fired. With her soul on the verge of scattering, she had no other choice."Fine, I'll help you!"Snow Empress gritted her teeth, separating a portion of her already dwindling original power and forcefully channeling it into the boy's body, activating the dormant potential within him!Originally, awakening a Spirit required a special awakening stone to set up a formation, but with her nearly 700,000 years of cultivation and understanding of the essence of energy, she could forcefully induce Spirit awakening without an awakening stone!Light gathered in the boy's palm, and eventually, the object that condensed made Snow Empress pause again.It was not the powerful Beast Spirit or Tool Spirit she had expected, but a black, longan-sized pill emitting a faint glow?"food system Spirit?" A hint of bitterness arose in Snow Empress's remnant thoughts. She, the dignified ruler of the Extreme North Land, was ultimately going to sacrifice herself to a food system Spirit Master? This was simply... It wasn't that food system was bad, but she still preferred to sacrifice herself to a Spirit Master skilled in combat.But then, from that seemingly inconspicuous black pill, she sensed an extremely subtle aura that made her soul tremble.It was a bottomless evil and ominous presence, yet it contained an indescribable dark power. It was clearly a pill, but the aura it contained made her feel more suppressed than even Emperor Tian, and its spirit power fluctuations were far from weak."Innate spirit power level ten, this is innate full spirit power among humans! This is definitely not an ordinary food system Spirit..." Snow Empress's heart was filled with awe.Without further hesitation, the red light of sacrifice completely enveloped the boy. Just as the Tianmeng Iceworm sacrificed itself to Huo Yuhao, Snow Empress sealed most of her cultivation and original power layer by layer.However, Heavenly Dream relied on its million years of mental force, while Snow Empress relied on the miraculous effects of the hundred thousand year snow lotus. It was also this snow lotus that protected her soul during the sacrifice. Her power merged deep into the boy's body, waiting for his future strength to increase, to be unsealed step by step.The wind and snow of the Extreme North Land continued, yet they witnessed the passing of a ruler and the quiet arrival of another unknown existence.The sacrifice quickly entered its most intense phase. Snow Empress's spirit ring had completely attached itself to that pill, but her power loss was too great. Just like Heavenly Dream, she couldn't produce a Spirit Bone, nor did she truly become a Spirit. What she gave the boy was just a 700,000-year spirit ring.About two days later, the unconscious boy finally woke up. In the icy World of the Extreme North Land, he should have been frozen stiff, but because of Snow Empress's spirit ring protecting him, he was fine.Moreover, Snow Empress discovered a very strange thing. In these past few days, when the boy was asleep, Spirit Beasts would occasionally pass by.But these Spirit Beasts seemed unable to see him; even ferocious carnivorous Spirit Beasts would instinctively bypass him.Snow Empress couldn't help but wonder, was this child's flesh very smelly? The corpse next door had been gnawed beyond recognition, yet no Spirit Beast wanted him?"Where... is this?" the boy murmured."This is the Extreme North Land of the Douluo Continent, boy, what is your name?" Snow Empress's voice echoed in the boy's mind."The Extreme North Land of the Douluo Continent?" The boy was startled. He felt a power, raised his palm, and a black pill appeared, surrounded by a red spirit ring. The spirit ring had seven golden patterns. "A 700,000-year spirit ring, so you are... Snow Empress?""You seem very calm, you can even guess my identity?" Snow Empress said in shock."I've read a lot of novels with similar plots, so I can probably guess the routine," Dai Youheng's tone was flat, without a ripple, as if he was talking about a trivial matter unrelated to him. "My name is Dai Youheng. As for my origin... you might not believe it, but I was grabbed from another World by a large hand whose full appearance I couldn't see, and then directly thrown here, smashing that guy to death."He pointed to the frozen meat, his tone even carrying a hint of "this delivery was really rough" mockery.He remembered he was walking on the road when he suddenly heard an explosion on one floor of an apartment building. The entire floor was blown through, and then a computer host fell from the sky, hitting him on the head and leaving him bleeding profusely. After that, he became a vegetable and lay in the hospital for a long time. In a daze, he was grabbed by that hand and brought here. His current body should have been healed by the guy who brought him over, right?Although he was unconscious just now, he vaguely heard a voice at the time: within five years, old 6, cultivation technique... "..." Snow Empress was completely speechless. Another World? Grabbed by a large hand? This was beyond her comprehension.But the boy's absurd way of appearing, the meteor falling from the sky and smashing a Titled Douluo to death, and his abnormal calmness at this moment, forced her to try and accept this incredible claim.After a long while, she slowly said, "Unflustered in danger, with a clear heart. Your temperament is quite good. It seems my choice in desperation might not be the worst."Dai Youheng stood up and moved his somewhat stiff but newly powerful limbs. He carefully felt the spirit power flowing within him, which was around level fifteen. Snow Empress's sacrifice had greatly increased his spirit power. If not for Snow Empress having little power left and sealing a large portion, her 700,000 years of cultivation shouldn't have only increased it by so little.Although this spirit power was weak, it was exceptionally pure and resonated perfectly with the black pill and the blood-red spirit ring. He walked towards the gruesome corpse, like an experienced hunter, beginning to meticulously search for spoils of war, completely ignoring the extremely uncomfortable scene."You... what are you doing?" Snow Empress couldn't help but ask again."Looting." Dai Youheng succinctly uttered two words that Snow Empress completely didn't understand, but combined with his actions, the meaning was self-evident. "This guy is a ninth-level spirit tool Master from the Sun Moon Empire; he must have good stuff on him. A Titled Douluo-level powerhouse might even have Spirit Bones."His movements were swift and efficient, without any hesitation or disgust, and he was not affected in the slightest by the smell of decaying flesh, as if what was before him was not the remains of his own kind, but a treasure chest waiting to be opened.Soon, from a finger that was frozen stiff and black, he laboriously pulled off a silver ring of ancient design, shimmering with faint spatial fluctuations.And from a hidden compartment in the lining of the tattered clothes, he retrieved three palm-sized metal blocks, inscribed with extremely complex core formations and cold to the touch. Judging from the energy fluctuations they contained, they were at least seventh-level or higher disposable defensive or offensive spirit tools."A storage spirit tool ring, and high-level trigger-type spirit tools..." Dai Youheng tried to inject a wisp of spirit power into the ring.As his consciousness probed inside the ring, the space within was far more vast than he had imagined, about thirty cubic meters, piled with many things: a large number of high-purity rare metals shimmering with different lusters, seven or eight intricate spirit tools already completed, at least seventh-level, and even some suspected eighth-level ones, a thick stack of design blueprints and experimental notes, as well as some compressed food, water, and a gold coin card.There was indeed one Spirit Bone, of unknown age, a left arm Spirit Bone. The reason this person hadn't absorbed it was either because its age wasn't high, or it didn't suit his attributes."A fruitful harvest." Dai Youheng's face showed a subtle expression of satisfaction. He placed this precious storage ring on the middle finger of his left hand; its size adjusted automatically, fitting perfectly. "These resources, technology, and knowledge are exactly the starting capital I most urgently need right now."
