Chapter 455
His attitude could be considered polite. As a sovereign and a god-level powerhouse, he originally didn't need to treat Lin Moyu this way.
But for various reasons, he was extremely polite to Lin Moyu.
He knew very well that as long as Lin Moyu didn't die, he would definitely surpass him in the near future.
Any sovereign status or god-level powerhouse title would mean nothing in front of Lin Moyu.
As the ruler of a nation, he at least had this much foresight.
Since Sovereign Dongfang Yi was polite, Lin Moyu naturally responded politely, "Greetings, Sovereign Dongfang. Greetings, Princess Yao."
"Greetings, General Lin," Dongfang Yao addressed Lin Moyu as General Lin to show respect.
Then, Sovereign Dongfang Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, his voice trembling slightly. "General Lin, you've become a Two-Star General."
Lin Moyu nodded. "Yes."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu bypassed Sovereign Dongfang Yi and walked over to Bai Yiyuan's side, saying no more.
Lin Moyu knew their intentions all too well.
It was best to let Bai Yiyuan make the decisions; he shouldn't say anything.
When it came to extorting people, Bai Yiyuan was an expert.
He just didn't know if Sovereign Dongfang Yi and Dongfang Yao had just arrived, or if they had already been extorted.
At this moment, Bai Yiyuan spoke up, "Sovereign Dongfang, I have received your kind gestures. What happened before was just an honest mistake on your part, so there's no need to mention it again in the future."
Hearing this, Sovereign Dongfang Yi let out a sigh of relief.
This matter was finally put to rest.
Lin Moyu also understood that the extortion had already been completed.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two of them finally left the White God Courtyard.
Throughout the exchange, Sovereign Dongfang Yi's attitude toward Lin Moyu was extremely polite.
He even made a point to bid Lin Moyu farewell before leaving.
After teleporting back to the imperial palace, Dongfang Yao asked in confusion, "Father, why did your attitude toward Lin Moyu suddenly become so polite?"
Although he had been polite before, it shouldn't have reached this level.
It made Dongfang Yao feel as if her father was trying to curry favor with Lin Moyu.
Sovereign Dongfang Yi coughed lightly. "He has become a Two-Star General."
Dongfang Yao was puzzled. "Wasn't he already a General? Is a Two-Star General any different?"
Sovereign Dongfang Yi said, "Of course it's different. As long as you have enough military merits, you can become a General."
"There is essentially no difference between a Starless General and a One-Star General; you can reach those ranks simply by killing enough enemies."
"But Two-Star is different. To reach Two-Star, you must kill a demon king. This means at least one demon king has died at General Lin's hands."
"I heard before that the Flame Demon King entered a Dungeon to hunt down General Lin, only to be killed instead. But I never dared to believe it. How could someone under level 50 possibly kill a demon king?"
"Today, it is finally confirmed to be true. The military badge does not lie."
Dongfang Yao asked curiously, "Could it be that God Bai and God An beat the demon king to near-death, and then let him land the final blow?"
Sovereign Dongfang Yi chuckled. "Then you understand the military badge far too little. Doing that is useless."
"In short, you must show him even more respect when you meet him in the future. His future achievements will far exceed your imagination."
…
Inside the White God Courtyard, Bai Yiyuan was grinning so widely his mouth wouldn't close.
Lin Moyu didn't know how many good things he had extorted, but he estimated it was quite a lot.
Meng Anwen said, "Look at how you're laughing, you're practically drooling."
Bai Yiyuan smiled brilliantly. "The royal family is truly wealthy, far wealthier than me."
"I've spent more than half my life collecting materials, yet it doesn't even match what they paid in compensation all at once."
Since it could make Bai Yiyuan lose his composure like this, Lin Moyu grew even more curious about what Sovereign Dongfang Yi had brought.
Bai Yiyuan said, "Lin Moyu, do you want to take another trip to the Corpse Realm?"
Three black lines immediately appeared on Lin Moyu's forehead. His teacher seemed to have gone mad.
Meng Anwen sighed. "Ignore him, this guy has gone mad."
"Sovereign Dongfang Yi was indeed sincere this time and brought quite a few good things. Let's put it this way: all the resources you consumed during your Second Awakening have been fully replenished."
"The materials for your Third Awakening are also fully covered."
"Furthermore, there are some things you can use right now."
Lin Moyu knew that Bai Yiyuan had nearly emptied his entire life savings for his Second Awakening.
—Requesting flowers…
Even though he was a god-level powerhouse, his personal wealth wasn't actually that abundant.
It certainly couldn't compare to a thousand-year-old clan like the royal family.
It was only normal that whatever they casually brought out would exceed Bai Yiyuan's entire net worth.
Meng Anwen really couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he shot a beam of light from his fingertip, blasting Bai Yiyuan.
Bai Yiyuan was instantly sent flying, crashing several hundred meters away.
After flying back, Bai Yiyuan finally returned to normal.
He didn't blame Meng Anwen for striking him, though his old face looked a bit embarrassed.
He pulled out two chests and tossed them to Lin Moyu.
"Other things aren't of much use to you, but the items in here are for you to use."
Lin Moyu took the chests and opened them.
Inside the first chest, scrolls were neatly arranged one by one.
glowing intermediate skill scrolls—exactly ten of them.
They were indeed what he needed.
With these ten intermediate skill scrolls, he now had a total of fourteen glowing intermediate skill scrolls, which was more than enough.
…
Next, he opened the other chest. The moment it opened, a beam of light shot out from within.
Lying inside was a skill scroll—a glowing advanced skill scroll.
An advanced skill scroll was already extremely expensive on its own, costing 100 million gold coins at the exchange.
As for a glowing advanced skill scroll, it was simply priceless.
Up until now, Lin Moyu only possessed one.
Now, he had a second one.
Bai Yiyuan said, "Ten intermediate ones, and one advanced one."
"glowing advanced skill scrolls are not easy to obtain. Even the royal family probably doesn't have many in stock. Save it for when you reach level 80."
Lin Moyu understood Bai Yiyuan's meaning. When he underwent his Third Awakening at level 70, he should try his best to complete his class sublimation.
That way, he would automatically master his level 70 skills without needing to waste any advanced skill scrolls.
At level 90, when transitioning into a god, skill scrolls wouldn't be needed either.
He would only need one at level 80.
Lin Moyu put away the chests. "Teacher, I bought some intermediate skill scrolls at the exchange. I should save the glowing scrolls for backup, just in case."
Bai Yiyuan nodded. "That's my thoughts as well. Since you are level 50 now, just use ordinary skill scrolls."
"Save the glowing scrolls for level 60. Fourteen glowing scrolls will be plenty for you; you won't have that many skills anyway."
"By the way, how many intermediate skill scrolls did you buy? Do you have enough money? If not, I have some here."
Lin Moyu replied, "One thousand."
Pfft!
Bai Yiyuan almost spat out his tea. "Where did you get so much money?"
One thousand scrolls would cost a whopping ten billion gold coins without a discount.
Lin Moyu said, "I sold all the equipment I obtained from running Dungeons, and that was enough."
"The exchange gave me a discount; I got twenty percent off."
After all, since he ran them solo, it was only normal for his harvest to be larger.
Bai Yiyuan said, "First, restore your essence, energy, and spirit to their peak condition, and then you can use the skill scrolls."
"One thousand scrolls should be enough."
Chapter 425: Skill Fusion, Lightning Undead Wings
When an intermediate skill scroll was activated, the commotion it caused was significantly larger than that of a low-grade skill scroll.
More than half of the White God Courtyard was shrouded in a hazy glow.
Lin Moyu had experience using skill scrolls, so he directly activated ten scrolls right off the bat.
Ten thousand specks of starlight swirled and whistled around him, stirring up gusts of gentle wind, accompanied by the unique aura of the skill scrolls.
The materials used to manufacture intermediate skill scrolls were far more precious than those used for low-grade scrolls.
The aura they emitted was also considerably stronger.
This kind of aura could easily fascinate people, leaving them intoxicated.
As the power contained within the skill scrolls entered his body, Lin Moyu felt as though something in his deepest depths was being stirred.
However, it seemed slightly lacking in momentum, ultimately returning to silence once more.
The first batch of ten skill scrolls failed to awaken any new skills, but Lin Moyu sensed something different.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Without hesitation, he activated another ten skill scrolls.
The hazy glow lit up once more, and the skill scrolls burst into ten thousand specks of starlight, swirling endlessly around Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu once again sensed that something deep within his body seemed to be drawn out.
The feeling was clearer than last time, but it still seemed to fall just a bit short.
Before this feeling could fade, Lin Moyu immediately activated another ten scrolls.
The power of the scrolls was amplified once more, and this time, the feeling became even clearer.
Lin Moyu could already feel that restless power stirring within his body.
He activated more scrolls once again.
Activating the scrolls five times in succession, Lin Moyu constantly calculated and sensed.
He was no longer as ignorant as he had been at level 30.
He seemed to have understood something.
Bai Yiyuan was slightly puzzled. "What is Lin Moyu doing?"
Meng Anwen said in a low voice, "Lin Moyu seems to have sensed the skills within his body."
Hiss!
Bai Yiyuan gasped, showing an expression of disbelief. "This… is impossible, right?"
Meng Anwen murmured, "It would naturally be impossible for you, but for Lin Moyu, it's hard to say."
Bai Yiyuan still couldn't believe it. "Sensing the source of a skill is something that can only be done after level 80 at the very least."
Meng Anwen shook his head and said nothing.
