Chapter 869 561: Consciousness Returns, Four Transformations Are Inevitable (2)
Facing Wang Chou and Liu Yuxin, as well as a still unclear Lu Lin, these people didn't dare make any rash moves.
"How much time is left?"
Wang Chou asked.
Liu Yuxin took a look and estimated, "Because we picked up the pace, there's still about two hours left until the teleportation array closes."
"But... should we stay here for a bit and head out later?"
Liu Yuxin suggested.
She naturally also sensed the envy in the eyes of other Heavenly Talents passing by just now.
Now, she and Wang Chou still have to protect Lu Lin from harm. If they rush to the teleportation array under the beam of light too quickly, they might be ambushed and have their hard-earned treasures stolen.
Elder Li Song also agreed with this.
He feared that the Heavenly Talents in this Illusory Realm wouldn't fight earnestly, and thus came up with the idea of extending the battle time to trigger conflict.
As everyone gathered around the teleportation array, he wouldn't activate the teleportation immediately to let the Heavenly Talents return from the Illusory Realm.
Instead, he would wait until the very last second of the third hour before asking Elder Ting Yu to teleport everyone out of the Illusory Realm.
These three hours were the time for the final intense battle.
"Yeah, let's wait for now, just to be safe."
Now, the safety of Liu Yuxin and Lu Lin, along with those more than four hundred attached treasures, rested heavily on Wang Chou.
Which added a lot of pressure to him.
If it weren't for his usual bold nature, he would just start fighting directly upon encountering enemies, instead of being cautious like now.
Once the two agreed, they found a relatively safe place nearby to take a break.
To avoid being discovered, Wang Chou even used some tree branches for camouflage.
Luckily, the soul power fluctuations emanating from Lu Lin were not too extensive, otherwise, Wang Chou would have been in trouble.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Roaming inside the Illusory Realm, Lu Lin finally felt he had reached his current limits.
He had almost explored every corner of the Illusory Realm.
Seen different places and different methods of spiritual power distribution and utilization.
Although he wouldn't follow Elder Ting Yu on the path of cultivating formations, these were still precious experiences for Lu Lin.
Most importantly.
During this exploration, Lu Lin achieved a monumental gain.
He sensed that his soul power had increased to a level that could not be further augmented.
What this represented was self-evident.
Promotion.
Lu Lin's spiritual strength had reached the peak of the third transformation, progressing now into the fourth transformation.
While previously he had no clue about the fourth transformation.
Now Lu Lin was sure of his path.
Once he left the Illusory Realm, he could complete the fourth transformation of soul power in a very short time.
Moreover, soul power transformation was not akin to star power level advancement.
Even if Lu Lin attained Soul Power Level 9, he could still participate in the Heavenly Talent War.
Since he gained enough knowledge within this Illusory Realm, naturally Lu Lin wouldn't linger inside any longer.
The scene before him changed, and Lu Lin's consciousness returned to his body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a bunch of leaves blocking his view.
Where is this place?
Lu Lin was utterly confused.
He remembered squatting on the ground just now, how did things turn out like this?
Sending out his spiritual strength, Lu Lin perceived Wang Chou and Liu Yuxin nearby, but both were holding their breath, carefully and cautiously.
Expanding his spiritual strength outward, Lu Lin's expression turned grim.
There were actually two to three hundred Heavenly Talents around, searching in an organized and orderly manner.
As for what they were searching for, Lu Lin didn't need to think twice.
"Cough, Wang Chou, Liu Yuxin, what's the situation here?"
As soon as Lu Lin spoke, the two hiding cautiously immediately showed a delighted expression.
"Lu Lin, you're finally awake."
"Lu Lin, glad you're okay."
The two said, then Liu Yuxin explained the current predicament they were facing to Lu Lin.
There was just one hour left until the end of the Heavenly Talent War, but Elder Li Song intended to activate the teleportation array at the last moment to move them out of the small world.
During this boring wait, many gathered near the teleportation array started gossiping about Liu Yuxin and her companions carrying four or five hundred attached treasures.
Upon hearing this, many were tempted, wanting to seize some treasures from them.
However, lacking a leader, everyone didn't dare make a move.
There was a suggestion to let a strong contender lead them.
As for who was strong, it naturally had to be someone possessing many treasures.
But Yue Dao and Mo Yiqiang showed no interest.
With their abilities, obtaining treasures didn't really matter.
If Liu Yuxin's group truly had strong contenders, naturally they would encounter them in the arena battles.
Seeing these two strong figures uninterested, many lost enthusiasm, feeling that it might not work this time.
Yet, they were reluctant to watch Lu Lin and his companions return to Longyuan World unimpeded.
Then a powerful figure appeared, clad entirely in black robes, riding a terrifying demon beast beneath him.
Tied to the terrifying demon beast were at least a hundred attached treasures.
Everyone acted like they'd seen their savior, gathering before him to talk about Liu Yuxin and her companions.
The newcomer was none other than Zuo Lun, who was driven to coughing blood by Wang Chou's antics.
After that day, he stopped tracking Lu Lin and Liu Yuxin, choosing instead to use the demon beasts to rob other people's treasures.
But this time, due to Lu Lin, the treasures were mostly concentrated in some strong individuals, while remaining scattered among many Heavenly Talents.
After repeated attempts, Zuo Lun exerted great effort to secure ninety-four attached treasures.
Having just arrived within the range of the beam of light, he immediately perked up upon hearing there were hundreds of treasures.
Then he became the leader, leading five to six hundred eager Heavenly Talents to search in the woods.
For Zuo Lun, this was a low-risk venture.
That's why the current situation unfolded.
Seeing Lu Lin awaken, Liu Yuxin and Wang Chou felt relieved.
"Lu Lin, let's go out and deal with them."
"Enduring this for so long, Uncle Chou hasn't suffered such grievances in years."
"Alright."
Lu Lin agreed to Wang Chou's suggestion.
Not because he was particularly eager to fight.
At this point, he had no need to battle other Heavenly Talents.
The main issue was Wang Chou and Liu Yuxin, who were clearly Heavenly Talents themselves, yet had to hide in this tree hole for a long time due to him.
"Huh? You agreed?"
"Aren't you the one who loves to play the fool to catch the tiger?"
"Isn't being this flashy a bit off?"
Wang Chou said, and just as Lu Lin was about to refuse, Wang Chou interrupted him.
"Nevermind, you continue hiding your ability, while once this is over, I'll leave as well. I'm just taking this chance to indulge a little."
"But Liu Yuxin, how about you? Do you want to have a big battle too?"
Liu Yuxin nodded.
She even acted faster than Wang Chou.
She directly tore off her disguise and soared into the air.
"You bastards, daring to target me, I'm right here. If you've got the guts, come at me!"
Wang Chou was surprised by Liu Yuxin's attitude.
He never expected this usually gentle-seeming Liu Yuxin to have such an aggressive side, but it aligned perfectly with his intentions.
Wang Chou also stood and shouted towards the surroundings, drawing countless gazes.
Lu Lin looked at the two going out and then glanced at the more than four hundred attached treasures left with him, smiling wryly.
After managing a bit of gain, intending to show off a little, he still had to guard the supplies here.
Playing the fool to catch the tiger, Lu Lin never really thought about doing this.
Normally, he would directly settle scores without pretending.
But seeing Wang Chou and Liu Yuxin venturing out excitedly, Lu Lin could only let them be.
"They are over there, brothers, charge!"
