Chapter 456: Chapter 456 – The Fake Battle
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Heng had seen the introduction of the evolution stone. In this world, the evolution stone was undoubtedly a very precious thing. Though distributed in many places, it is a specialty in the galaxy, but it was very rare and precious.
Moreover, an evolution stone contained energy that not only had the benign evolution function, which allowed the Beastmaster’s bloodline to transform. Besides, it could also stimulate the Beastmaster’s telekinetic power. He could even permanently increase his telekinetic talent by increasing his telekinetic power.
Moreover, if a sufficient number of evolution stones were used, even ordinary people who didn’t have such talent could feel the talent of a Beastmaster. Of course, no one could verify whether such a thing was true. After all, the price to pay was a little too high.
However, Chen Heng was very interested in the effects of the evolution stone. Sitting on the sofa, he took a piece of the evolution stone and looked at it with interest, thoroughly observing it.
If one looked thoroughly, one could see some fine but slightly messy runes inside the evolution stone. The world naturally created these runes, giving the evolution stone a unique power.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Heng closed his eyes, and his spiritual power slowly extended and connected to the evolutionary stone before him after following a particular vein.
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling emerged in his heart. At this moment, Chen Heng felt as if he had touched the inexplicable Golden Sea. In the vast sea of spirit, a golden sea appeared at this moment, looking exceptionally clear and eye-catching.
The golden power flowed within the Golden Sea, exuding a holy and awe-inspiring aura. It was exceptionally unique and mysterious.
The seawater in this Golden Sea began to tilt and spread to the side. The moment the seawater in this Golden Sea fused into Chen Heng’s body bit by bit, his body suddenly stopped.
An inexplicable sense of comfort emerged from his heart. Vaguely, there seemed to be some sort of power circulating within his body, something in a state of its own. It was not a body, nor was it purely spiritual power. It was something even purer – the origin.
Chen Heng stopped his movements and felt the changes in his body. His eyes immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
‘So that’s how it is…’ He felt the changes in his body, and he almost sat up straight.
“No wonder…”
He recalled the information he had seen before and finally understood. No wonder the evolutionary stones were so precious and had so many effects.
It turned out that what was elevated through the evolutionary stones was the pure origin.
Origin was the convergence of everything and was also the symbol of the essence of life. Upgrading the essence was equivalent to uplifting the essence of life from the source. The changes made were enormous.
If it were an Imperial Beast, the origin upgrade would naturally result in the bloodline transforming into a more powerful form. If it were an ordinary human, then after the origin rose, the telekinesis power would naturally grow and would even lead to a lot of improvement in one’s talent due to the powerful origin.
These were all very normal things. For Chen Heng, the effect of an evolution stone surprised him the most because, in Chen Heng’s understanding, the so-called origin had another name called the true spirit.
The true spirit was the manifestation of the origin and was also born from the ultimate transformation after the life form reached a certain level.
However, fundamentally, the true spirit and the origin were similar things in different forms. Therefore, Chen Heng’s origin upgrade also meant that his true spirit was upgraded. This was the thing that made him the happiest.
In Chen Heng’s hand, the golden evolution stone was still emitting light. The faint golden l.u.s.ter was very bright and unique. However, Chen Heng had a unique feeling after the traction just now.
The evolution stone emitting golden light seemed to have dimmed a little, and part of its power had disappeared. This should not be an illusion, as Chen Heng recalled its reaction just now.
Sensing this, Chen Heng shook his head and continued his actions. He extracted the power within this evolutionary stone and fused it all into his body. Along with this process, the evolutionary stone was also gradually changing.
This evolutionary stone was originally golden in color. However, as the power within was absorbed by Chen Heng, its surface color was also slowly changing.
The golden color slowly faded and then disappeared, turning into pure transparent. After reaching this step, the power within this evolution stone completely disappeared.
However, this transparent crystal left behind was not useless. According to this world, after the stone’s power was absorbed, the transparent crystal left behind was called a White Crystal. It was the product after the evolution stone’s power was absorbed, but it was also a very precious material.
There was evidence that if the White Crystal were placed in a suitable place, it would slowly absorb and extract the power of the world itself to recover. And after a long time, it would return to the state of an evolutionary stone.
Like oil and coal mines underground, they were all precious resources left after many years. The same applies to evolutionary stones. As long as the White Crystal was placed in a suitable place, the power within would recover.
The people of this world universally acknowledged this situation. However, no one would obtain evolutionary stones through this method, mainly because the White Crystal would take too long to recover its power.
Based on the current inspection, if the White Crystal was placed randomly in any place and let to recover, the time needed for its recovery might be hundreds of millions of years.
The White Crystal could indeed speed up its recovery if it were placed in a unique place. However, it would still take millions of years, and no one could afford to wait for such a long time because if they do, perhaps even the organization itself would not exist. Therefore, no one would be willing to wait for such a long time.
At present, the main stones were still obtained through mining and were highly precious. However, for Chen Heng, it seemed to be a different case. He could travel to other worlds, and other worlds not only had different environments, but there’s even a great degree of difference in the flow of time.
Therefore, if he could find a significant amount of time to prevent these White Crystals from exhausting their power and then utilize the flow of time, he might be able to obtain a batch of evolutionary stones quickly. Moreover, this was not the limit of their usage.
Chen Heng suddenly had many ideas. It seemed that the White Crystals and many other unique resources could be arranged this way. For example, some precious spiritual herbs and magic plants, some treasures that took a long time to grow, and many things that needed time to reproduce. All of these could be obtained in batches through this method.
‘There might be many problems with living things…’ Chen Heng had many thoughts, ‘But in terms of pure resources, there don’t seem to be so many problems…’
There was a problem with moving between living things because if he brought others to travel between worlds, he would require many simulation points.
However, if it were just simple resources, there wouldn’t be so many problems. The amount of energy required was minimal. To a certain extent, Chen Heng’s idea seemed entirely feasible.
It looked like he had found another correct use of a simulation machine. However, this method could only be verified in the future. As for now, this wasn’t what he needed to do.
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Heng felt the changes in his body. After absorbing a stone, his true spirit became more active. The cracks that had appeared from splitting his true spirit had wholly recovered and disappeared. His strength had also increased slightly, but it wasn’t too much in the overall ratio.
Chen Heng didn’t find this strange. His true spirit was indeed extremely powerful. After experiencing many worlds, it had already reached a mighty level.
With his powerful true spirit as the foundation, the improvement brought by a piece of evolution stone was limited, and it wouldn’t be strange that the improvement wasn’t much. It’s not a big deal if an evolution stone improves a little, as long as there were enough of them.
After using up one evolution stone, Chen Heng turned and looked at the other wooden boxes. Then, he started to move.
After a while, only the last one was still golden out of the four evolution stones before him, and only the last one was still golden. As for the other three, they had already turned transparent white.
After the golden color faded, these evolution stones looked crystal clear and looked more like a few unique and stunning gemstones. Even without considering their actual value, they were very appealing just by looking at them.
Chen Heng put away the remaining things and walked to the side. After absorbing the three evolution stones, the true spirit in his body started to boil and was still growing slowly. This growth would not end anytime soon and would take some time for him to get used to it.
However, after absorbing the three evolution stones, Chen Heng felt that his true spirit was stronger than before. Moreover, his telekinesis talent had increased to a certain extent, just like Liu Rou had said earlier.
This was quite good for Chen Heng. He had just obtained the nameless refining method that could increase his telekinesis power and temper his true spirit, and now he had another chance to improve his talent. His luck was not bad.
There were still four left after using three evolution stones, including the one that Black Dream Group would distribute later. If he could use all of these evolution stones and absorb the power within, Chen Heng’s power could be further recovered, and his true spirit could be further perfected.
As for the effect of the evolutionary stones in promoting the bloodline, Chen Heng did not care about this. For Red, it already had Chen Heng’s help. It was enough to break through the original boundary and walk to the end without the evolutionary stones.
Since that was the case, although these evolutionary stones were somewhat valuable, they were not very useful. Instead of using them on Red, it would be better to use them on Chen Heng himself. This way, he could achieve the best performance ratio.
‘It’s another match next…’ Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he looked at the scenery in the distance and thought.
Not long after, another few days pa.s.sed. A few days later, Chen Heng’s next match was about to begin. Unsurprisingly, Chen Heng’s opponent this time was none other than Yung Master Liu.
Young Master Liu’s real name was Liu Cheng, and he was the leading figure of the Liu family. Like w.a.n.g Zhong before, he was the future heir of the Liu family. If it weren’t for Liu Sheng’s sudden rise, he wouldn’t have felt any pressure, and it wouldn’t be like now when he was still considering the threat of his brother.
Of course, Chen Heng wasn’t interested in this. He walked onto the arena, and Liu Cheng was already standing there before him. Compared to Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng’s appearance was different. He looked a little thin and weak, and he was pretty handsome, but he looked a little somber.
“It was nice meeting you.” He smiled, looked at Chen Heng, and said, then made a gesture.
The two looked like strangers who had no communication at all, just like how strangers met for the first time.
Chen Heng glanced at him and did not intend to say anything. Silently, he raised his arm and looked at him. The atmosphere on the spot could not help but freeze as if the surrounding air had begun to stop circulating.
Time stood still until the bell that announced the start of the compet.i.tion officially sounded. In an instant, both their arms reached out simultaneously and collided. Then, the two of them flew through the air and began to attack each other.
The two of them fought intensely. Even the originally solid ground around them began to crack inch by inch as if it was destroyed entirely.
They were fighting head-to-head with each other, so intensely as if they were really on fire. But in reality, both sides were just testing each other’s strength to see how good they would be.
There was nothing they could do. After all, this was not a real fight but a fake match. Based on Liu Cheng’s request, Chen Heng would lose to him, like he defeated Chen Heng with his strength.
Otherwise, if Chen Heng gave up, anyone with a discerning eye would know that there was a problem. If no one saw through him, Chen Heng would lose to his opponent, which was also the most challenging part of this battle.
Fortunately, the two of them had already made a plan in advance to carry out this battle. Everything would be fine as long as they followed the plan.
Thus, an intense battle was shown before everyone’s eyes. Under the people’s gazes, the two of them fought fiercely. A powerful force was surging, and even its aftermath was enough to give people a shock. It was terrifying, and in this process, the two seemed evenly matched, both stuck in a stalemate.
In this process, they went through several twists and turns. In the end, in one of the exchanges, Chen Heng seemed to have overlooked something. Liu Sheng seized the opportunity and gave him a heavy attack with his battle skill. A figure flew out and landed on the ground.
Chen Heng held his chest and looked at Liu Cheng opposite him. His expression was particularly sour. ‘What kind of battle technique is this?’
A wound appeared in front of his chest, and crimson blood was seeping out. It looked like he was injured. Opposite Chen Heng, Liu Cheng looked at Chen Heng. He appeared calm, but he admired Chen Heng’s acting skills in his heart.
Just now, he had indeed displayed a battle skill. However, that battle skill was only the most ordinary type. It wouldn’t be a big deal to someone at Chen Heng’s level, even if he were to take it head-on. However, he had forcefully created such an effect, as if his move just now had a lot of strength.
‘Chen Heng’s acting wasn’t bad.’ Liu Sheng praised in his heart, but a cold smile appeared on his face.
“There are still many things that you don’t know.” As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them clashed once again.
However, Chen Heng seemed to have suffered a severe injury after that. His speed and strength rapidly decreased. Slowly, more and more wounds appeared on his body, and his aura became weaker.
“I give up…” Finally, Chen Heng’s face turned ashen, looking at Liu Cheng, who was standing in front of him and about to make a move. Finally, he opened his mouth and said those three words.
The bell that signified victory rang. A group of medical staff walked in and examined the two’s bodies. Chen Heng ignored them and left the arena alone, seeming a little disappointed.
Opposite him, Liu Cheng’s clothes were already tattered, and his body was covered in wounds. However, he still stood there, enjoying the lights and the gazes of the crowd. He had a bearing that belonged to the victor, calm and indifferent. The winner and loser were announced.
“Big Brother… lost just like that?” Lu Yao stood where she was and looked at the scene on the television. She could not believe it. “How is this possible…”
After awakening the Golden King’s power, her consciousness had become extremely sharp.
Just now, the act that Chen Heng and Liu Cheng had put on was real. If other people were not on the stage, they would not be able to tell.. However, Lu Yao could still feel that something was not right.
