Chapter 499: That's it
— As soon as he said that, he suddenly felt the familiar sensation of teleportation, but Su Xiao wasn't surprised.
— I've come here again, " Su Xiao said as he stood in the middle of the majestic hall.
The pile of gravel nearby trembled, and soon a bluish ghost floated out of it.
— About? Marvin Waltz was a little surprised by Su Xiao's speed. — And you've become much stronger." Looks like you've come to inherit the next ability.
— What is this ability?
Marvin Waltz just smiled enigmatically.
— You'll see for yourself in a little while, " he said, and headed deeper into the hall.
For some reason, Su Xiao felt an ominous premonition.
— I have a question, " Su Xiao said as he followed Marvin.
— Yes?
— Have you heard of Ian's daughter?
Marvin Waltz stopped in his tracks.
— You saw that vine on Devouring Island, and it didn't kill you?
— Yes, to some extent we can even be called partners.
Marvin Waltz was surprised to hear Su Xiao's words.
— Because of the rebellion?
— Yes.
Marvin Waltz obviously knew the Devouring Island very well.
— Jan's daughter?.. That was a long time ago, maybe hundreds of years ago. When I was looking for material on this island, I came across this vine. She called herself a "Goddess" and wanted me to start worshipping her. Then I had a good talk with her about it.
Needless to say, Marvin Waltz most likely uprooted her and allowed her to realize her mistake.
— You didn't kill her?" Su Xiao asked.
— She then got down on her knees and begged me not to kill her. I was in a hurry, so I let her go.
Su Xiao looked at Marvin in surprise.
— But I took something from her.
— What?
— Over 90% of her body's energy, I decided to take her back after she recovers, but the siege happened earlier.
Given Marvin's temperament, he obviously couldn't let go of Ian's daughter. He just decided to pick it up later, after it became a very useful resource again.
So it was no surprise that she didn't dare to attack Su Xiao. She was probably afraid that Su Xiao's "big brothers" would come after her later.
— When you become strong enough, you can return to her and take her energy. Plant energy is a good nutrient for feeding the energy of Qing Gang Yin.
Su Xiao was a little confused. "The Qing Gang Yin energy can absorb other energies?..»
— Don't be surprised, you will soon be able to get this ability, provided that you can survive.
Su Xiao was even more puzzled, but Marvin didn't continue explaining.
The two of them walked deeper into the hall and soon a light blue pool appeared in front of them.
— It's not water inside, but a light blue liquid with electric arcs running through it.
— This... Su Xiao squatted down in front of the pool and felt that the liquid in this pool was very familiar to him.
— This is the purest Qing Gang Yin energy that can help you quickly restore your mana.
Marvin Waltz sat cross-legged in front of the pool and looked at Su Xiao.
— The ability you are about to master is the basic ability of the shadow of law. Marvin paused for a moment, then continued, " Earlier, you were obviously perplexed by the fact that you, as a melee fighter, were forced to upgrade your intelligence.
Su Xiao nodded. Intelligence in addition to increasing the amount of mana, it also improved perception, but that was all — for a melee fighter, intelligence did not give any useful advantages.
— We need to improve our intelligence because of this ability. This ability is used to enhance the energy of Qing Gang Yin, but Qing Gang Yin is still our foundation, however, of course, we have another way to become stronger in the shortest possible time, " Marvin said and pointed at the pool. "Jump." If you get out, you can become something that any mage will be afraid of.
Su Xiao frowned. He felt that he might die if he dared to jump into that liquid. — What's the chance of dying?
— About 85%, otherwise, why do you think there were so few of us?
Su Xiao was speechless at such a terrifying death rate, but obviously giving up now was a stupid decision.
— I've always wondered why I got this legacy so easily.
Marvin Waltz laughed at this.
— Did you really think that the value of that broken ring was equal to our legacy? This legacy chose you. It's hard to find a suitable successor. The main thing in our business is not talent, but courage. The successor should not be afraid of battles, nor should he be afraid of mages. Most of the new successors gave up their legacy after being faced with the choice of jumping in and becoming the enemy of all the mages in the world, or... Marvin said and pointed at the pool in front of him.
If he jumped into it, Su Xiao obviously wouldn't be able to give up this legacy anymore, but if he did, he would be at death's door.
— Make your choice.
Seeing Su Xiao's confused expression, Marvin recalled himself in the past. Before jumping into the pool, he hesitated for a very long time and even said goodbye to all his friends just in case.
But he didn't regret his decision, even though he ended up dying due to the mages ' attack.
— I...
Su Xiao had already jumped into the pool before Marvin could say anything.
— ...I forgot to tell you that this pool is very deep...
*Pum*
With a pop, Su Xiao fell into the liquid energy of Qing Gang Yin.
The pool instantly became calm again, as if no one had jumped in.
— That's your choice, " Marvin smiled. "Disciple, try not to die. In fact, 85% of the death rate concerns only ordinary people. You're going to die with about a 50% chance... I think I forgot to say something important, " Marvin mumbled as he closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.
Su Xiao slowly sank to the bottom, his black hair fluttering in the light blue liquid.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his body didn't move. He only slowly sank to the bottom as incredible changes took place inside his body.
The mana he had used up earlier recovered in an instant and quickly transformed into Qing Gang Yin energy.
Qing Gang Yin's energy gradually formed a ball near Su Xiao's heart.
This orb wasn't used to store Qing Gang Yin's energy, but rather served other functions.
Mana was quickly consumed and recovered, and the newly created Qing Gang Yin energy continued to create a ball near his heart.
This process was repeated and repeated, and the ball became more and more realistic, and the energy contained in it became more and more terrifying.
*Gu-lu-lu...*
Su Xiao spat out a mouthful of bubbles as he tried his best to contain the Qing Gang Yin energy in his body.
By this time, Su Xiao had already sunk to the bottom of the pool. Now he only had 10 minutes. If he can't create an orb within this time period, then his body will float up on its own.
Naturally, Su Xiao would be dead by the time he surfaced.
When creating this ball, Qing Gang Yin's energy moved in a special way and often passed through his brain, something that had never happened before.
