CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: SPECIAL PHYSIQUE: CELESTIAL SPIRIT BODY

Cai Yuanji and the others were shocked that this ruin was actually the handiwork of this young girl.

More frighteningly, she had always been conscious and had been following them.

But you have to know, someone who can refine space could kill them easily; no matter how powerful Xiaobai is, it probably wouldn’t be enough.

Cai Yuanji really wanted to ask Lin Chen how he discovered it, but it was not the right time now.

So, he could only weakly say, "That Sister Qin...Senior, we’ll be going now, we’ll chat if we have time."

After saying this, he quickly grabbed the Shadow Tiger, who was watching the show, wanting to leave immediately.

After Qin Shaoshao vented her emotions, she kept looking at Lin Chen, clearly needing an answer to that question.

"At first, I didn’t know either, although your words were different from others, from the beginning you aroused my suspicion..." Lin Chen said, "You don’t have a Spirit Beast."

"Maybe, I don’t miss my Spirit Beast?"

"If I hadn’t contracted Xiaobai before, I might have thought the same, but after the contract, my thoughts completely changed." Lin Chen said, "Qin Hao and Su Yu are your family, but the Spirit Beast is also your family."

"I don’t understand." Cai Yuanji immediately interrupted, and even the Spirit Beasts, including Little Fox, shook their heads.

However, Ning Zimo said, "If a Resentful Spirit takes shape, it will carry its own attachment; otherwise, why would it be called a Resentful Spirit?"

Cai Yuanji understood this time.

"The reason you didn’t bring out the Spirit Beast was that you worried I would discover your Spirit Beast. If I guess right, your Spirit Beast should be wood-elemental, a plant type..." Lin Chen didn’t continue.

Because the evolution direction of the Celestial Spirit Body’s Spirit Beast is:

World Tree.

"I see." Qin Shaoshao suddenly realized.

"It was just a guess at first until one of your actions betrayed you."

"What action?"

"You deliberately showed us the way, although it seemed normal, you must know that Resentful Spirits have no consciousness."

"That was just speculation too."

"So, when you stepped forward to meet Qin Hao and Su Yu just now, that confirmed my answer." Lin Chen said, "You are conscious..."

Qin Shaoshao understood.

"Let’s go."

Lin Chen felt no attachment; this was a young girl’s dream, an obsession.

They shouldn’t have come here to destroy this dream.

Cai Yuanji and the others nodded.

Who would have thought that at this moment, an accident happened, they only saw Qin Hao next to them suddenly grab Qin Shaoshao’s hand, and then his pupils actually returned to normal in an instant.

But this process was just a moment.

The next second, he disappeared in place, turning into a pile of white bones.

Lin Chen and the others hadn’t reacted yet, and Qin Shaoshao had already collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly.

Her cries could tear through twelve layers of clouds, her jade-like sobs making those who heard them tremble.

What a sound of despair!

Only now, it wasn’t something Lin Chen and the others needed to think about...

Because Qin Shaoshao lost control of her emotions, her powerful Spiritual Power exploded all at once.

Everyone held their heads, feeling dizzy and their eyes ached.

Eventually, Lin Chen couldn’t hold on either and fell into a coma.

....

Lin Chen didn’t know how long it took until he regained consciousness, and when he woke up, he saw Qin Shaoshao standing next to him, saying, "Take them back."

Lin Chen patted his head and looked at Qin Shaoshao, "Are you sure?"

Once these bones are taken away, her dream cannot continue.

"They are heroes that shouldn’t be buried here." Qin Shaoshao said.

Lin Chen was silent.

At the last moment, it must have been Qin Hao’s Resentful Spirit consciousness retaliating...

Put simply, it really was like seeing a ghost.

Only, he couldn’t speak, he used the last bit of his consciousness to choose suicide.

This was also telling Qin Shaoshao to end this thousand-year dream, not to continue.

This was a brother’s love message transmitted across millennium history.

But for Qin Shaoshao, it was a devastating blow, her emotional outburst made her unable to suppress the negative Spiritual Power within her...

The immense Spiritual Power of the Celestial Spirit Body exploded in an instant, not something that a novice like Lin Chen could withstand.

During this sleep, Qin Shaoshao must have gone through a long internal struggle and finally made a decision:

To personally end this illusory dream.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Lin Chen then stepped forward to gather Qin Hao and the others’ bones, tagging them after collection.

During this process, Qin Shaoshao silently watched the bones of the two.

"...Their cemetery should be southwest of Jiuxing City."

Lin Chen said one last thing, then left with the awakened Ning Zimo and others.

After they walked away, Ning Zimo puzzledly said, "We actually met her, that’s too coincidental."

Lin Chen couldn’t figure it out either, not knowing if it was luck or something else.

At least, Cai Yuanji was smart this time, he said, "It’s not a coincidence, but a matter of cause and effect."

"Brother Lin, it’s probably only you who can say the names of all those people."

Lin Chen and the others paused, then suddenly became enlightened.

....

"...This is for you."

Just before reaching the exit, it was time to distribute the spoils.

This time, they obtained a total of forty-six skeletons, which was definitely the most in the whole place.

The Hundred Stars Chart was originally something organized by the Inner Courtyard, so they, as outsiders, had no use for it.

So, Lin Chen kept thirty skeletons, intending to report back to Lee Zhen, and gave the remaining sixteen to Lee Zaiqing.

Lee Zaiqing hesitated, and Lin Chen said, "I calculated it, with thirty skeletons, we can guarantee we’re still first, and with these, you can enjoy the resources of being first on the Hundred Stars Chart."

Only then did Lee Zaiqing accept.

And at the relic’s exit, Tang Xuehai had been waiting outside, students had already been coming out one after another.

However, Tang Xuehai had always been waiting for Ye Yun.

Finally, he arrived.

Watching Ye Yun walk step by step, he eagerly asked, "How many?"

He thought, given Ye Yun’s strength, he should be able to get around twenty to thirty.

Ye Yun’s expression was somewhat unnatural, but still, he said, "0."

"Very good, worthy of..." Tang Xuehai thought he’d heard wrong: "0?"

Ye Yun just cupped his hands, not saying more, and walked to the side.

No one wants to bring up this memory...

The pride and dignity he was proud of had already been crushed beyond recognition the moment Lin Chen won.

Tang Xuehai could only turn to question his two team members, and the latter obviously were unwilling to reveal how they teamed up, so they lightly described being robbed by Lin Chen.

"You were robbed by someone from the Monster Hunter Guild?" Tang Xuehai couldn’t stay calm this time.

"You guys go first."

Tang Xuehai’s expression became gloomy.

He had boasted that this year’s freshmen were the best of this class, and if the assessment they hosted was taken by those from the Monster Hunter Guild.

Seeing Chen Tao coming along, Tang Xuehai could only pin his hopes on him.
