As the year draws to a close and the new year approaches,

Lin Yan returned to Tianjing as the God of War.

What Jia Yi gave him was not just a military uniform, an SS-class Combat Suit, the Black God Suit, and a sword.

Rather, it is the emotion, responsibility, and spirit of being Huaxia son or daughter.

They had weathered those low points and finally painstakingly accumulated their wealth. When Lin Yan appeared, the future they envisioned was completely different from before.

Previously, a month's Jade Marrow was insufficient to produce 10 portions, and even supplying their own people was in short supply. They also needed to exchange with other forces, which made their situation even more precarious.

The current output of 132 units has saturated the production capacity of the instruments obtained from the Ancient Civilization Ruins. It can also produce a large number of X gene capsule, improve gene optimization efficiency, help martial artists accelerate Gene Energy cultivation, help ordinary people shorten the process of becoming martial artists, and lower the threshold.

It was like a dream.

Jia Yi still remembers that it was their first meeting. The young man, whom she had never met before, calmly said, "If it's a problem with the production capacity of Coenzyme R3V, I'm confident I can solve it."

Academician Wen Xiuyong was terrified at the time, fearing that he was boasting.

Incredible.

But in the end, he miraculously delivered this answer.

Jia Yi later learned that Lin Yan had only been involved in biochemical pharmaceuticals for a few days at the time, which seemed like a pipe dream, but he actually did it.

Then he displayed his ridiculously high cultivation talent, which allowed him to master Deng Jun's Po Jun Sword so quickly and even acquire the abilities of Planetary level Mental Master.

In less than six months, he went from an Advanced Martial Arts Student to High-level War God Mental Master capable of standing alone.

Even his girlfriend, the daughter of the Wen family, demonstrated her amazing talent by realizing the possibility of human limb regeneration through the cellular genes of the Eight-clawed Beast Emperor.

Such surprises have been coming one after another since he appeared.

It also made them truly think that perhaps one day, he could really use this youthful energy to change the world.

Completely change the world.

That's why they can offer unreserved trust, care, and dedication.

Because he deserves it.

Because these are things he deserves.

Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "You all have shown me such kindness, but I have not accomplished anything yet, and you treat me so well. I am truly unworthy of it."

Jia Yi laughed and said, "What more merit do you want to achieve? You have already achieved tremendous merit! Besides, the safety of the Wen family father and daughter was also thanks to you. We only feel that our abilities are limited, and this is all we can give you."

"There's no reason to feel unworthy of it."

He patted Lin Yan on the shoulder.

"I only hope that you can take over my mantle soon, so that I can have some peace of mind. I have envied their life of growing flowers and plants for a long time. I have been in this position for forty years, and I am always a little tired."

Lin Yan blinked and replied, "Councillor Jia, you flatter me."

Well, I'm afraid you really can't count on me for that.

If I really get to that point, I should break through the atmosphere.

"Haha, you little rascal..."

Jia Yi smiled and said, "I was originally planning to introduce you to some people today, all of them high-ranking officials in the government and Military, but after thinking about it, I decided to give up."

"Sometimes knowing too many people can make things more difficult. If you don't know them, you don't need to worry about them. Besides, you're young and don't have any connections with them. It's fine as it is."

"Just do what you have to do, there's no need to worry about feelings."

Lin Yan replied, "Even if we know each other, I won't hold back. If I'm going to do something, I'll do it well."

It was late at night when Lin Yan returned home.

Lin Yan walked back to his room, sat down at his desk, and took out the black ring. The black was pure and had a matte finish.

His eyes flickered slightly, then he put it on the middle finger of his left hand, initially feeling nothing.

Thirty seconds later, the surface of his hand that was in contact with the ring felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and then it hissed... The ring seemed to melt under extremely High Temperature, turning into liquid and trembling on his finger. At the same time, intense pain swept through Lin Yan's mind.

Lin Yan was no longer particularly affected by this level of pain and remained expressionless.

In his vision, wisps of red were flowing into the liquid, spreading out like mist, a mixture of black and red, as if something had changed. After fifteen minutes, everything stopped.

The ring returned to its original form, but it gave Lin Yan the feeling that it was part of his body, as if it had become one with his skin.

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and walked to the full-length mirror.

With a thought, a stream of black light emanated from the black ring, instantly extending and covering his left arm. At the same time, the black light was partially three-dimensional, directly leaping and spreading to his right arm, and simultaneously spreading to every part of his body, including his feet, thighs, abdomen, and face.

Lin Yan looked at himself in the mirror.

The inside of the clothes was covered by a black battle suit, even the face was black, only the eyes, nose and mouth were exposed.

It looks as thin as a membrane, but it is actually incredibly tough.

Even SS-rank weapons cannot cause it any damage, and it can change its form at will, turning into a suit, hat, helmet, etc., as long as it comes into contact with the body.

However, the appearance it transforms into is only black, with no other colors.

Lin Yan plans to wear it as underwear normally.

Lin Yan dispelled the Black God Suit and took out the Xuanyuan Sword. Under the light, this Golden Ancient Sword carried a strong ancient charm, quite different from modern swords, yet it did not feel rough at all. On the contrary, it was imbued with the heritage of five thousand years of history.

According to Jia Yi, the Xuanyuan Sword is even better than ordinary SS-rank weapons because the materials added during its reforging were the best. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is the best sword weapon on Earth.

Lin Yan felt conflicted.

Earth Aspect of the sword, its historical origins are the most astonishing. It is a convergence of ancient myths and legends with reality, and I must never dishonor its name.

Xuanyuan Sword.

This embodies the spirit of Huaxia's five-thousand-year-old civilization.

The dust will eventually be wiped away, and all demons will be vanquished.

These past two days, Lin Yan had some free time and studied the "Mental Master Foundation" in the War God Palace's private space.

According to the records above, all Mental Master are mainly divided into three types: the first type controls objects remotely to kill enemies; the second type infiltrates the enemy's sea of consciousness to launch Mental Attack; and the third type tames beasts.

This book details methods for telekinesis to kill enemies and records 18 secret techniques for Mental Attack. As for taming beasts, it only briefly introduces methods for communicating with monsters through the mind, which is the most rudimentary method.

It was not enough to forcibly subdue the powerful monster.

Lin Yan thought of the Black Cat and the Faceless Ape. There was a special spiritual imprint in their sea of consciousness, which should be a profound secret method for taming beasts.

It is very likely that it was obtained through Ancient Civilization Ruins.

Lin Yan read through these contents in detail.

The most valuable of these is the "Heavenly God Atlas," a training method for "Controlling Flow" Mental Master found in the "Mental Master Foundation" manual. It contains 99 illustrations, but even the strongest Mental Master on Earth can only practice up to the 18th illustration.

Mental Master specializing in object manipulation improves their strength primarily through three aspects: "Psionic Strength," "weapons," and "techniques."

This "Heavenly God Atlas" is about "techniques".

Training involves controlling as many weapons as possible simultaneously while maintaining maximum firepower.

Lin Yan was previously able to control 6 throwing knives simultaneously, reaching the limit of power. After breaking through to the High-level War God and fusing with Superhuman Cells, he improved in this aspect and can now control 12 throwing knives at the same time.

By absorbing solar energy, he can increase his strength by 1,500 kilograms per day, and this increase is showing an upward trend over time.

His strength has now reached more than 80,000 kilograms, and the impact force of each throwing knife he uses with his Mental Power reaches 320,000 kilograms. If all 12 throwing knives reach their maximum value, that's 3.84 million kilograms!

Through training with the "Heavenly God Atlas," he can even control more throwing knives simultaneously, maintaining maximum attack power.

Secondly, there is the "Mental Attack Chapter." According to the manual, Mental Attack within one's own sea of consciousness gain an extra layer of power, but when they penetrate into another's sea of consciousness, they not only fail to gain any additional power, but are instead suppressed by the other's sea of consciousness, weakening it by one layer.

In other words, if you want to directly kill your opponent in a head-on confrontation, your mental Psionic Strength must be at least three levels higher than theirs!

If it were Lin Yan now, simply using his Mental Power to enter the consciousness of a Beginner War God and suppress them, their Mental Power would be about the same.

However, the use of secret techniques can be helpful; the book "Mental Master Foundation" records 18 Mental Attack Secret Technique.

"Dream Maze", "Illusion Demon Eyes", "Spirit Spike", "Soul Shock", etc.

However, after reviewing them, Lin Yan found that these secret techniques were all quite ordinary. The method of killing was to use the secret technique to Split Spirit the opponent, and then use telekinesis to kill the opponent.

It completely fails to capture the essence of Mental Attack.

Clearly, due to a lack of knowledge, significant progress has been made in this area on Earth.

It should be noted that the Black Cat used its "Golden Eyes" to directly kill Chen Zhao, Beginner War God, without even giving him a chance to react.

After acquiring this ability, he tried it once and easily suppressed Chu Qiang, Intermediate War God Level, with his Golden Eyes.

This Black Cat is so gifted that its talent surpasses Earth's understanding of Mental Attack.

However, Lin Yan didn't mind. These secret techniques were much easier to learn than the "Heavenly God Atlas," so he decided to study them and use them in conjunction with the "Golden Eyes."

December 31st.

"Brother, your phone is ringing!"

Tangtang shouted loudly from downstairs.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Yan walked out of the second-floor training room and down the stairs. He was wearing loose training clothes, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

Meanwhile, in the practice room on the second floor.

The 12 throwing knives were swirling around as if dancing, their movements possessing a strange rhythmic quality.

Sunlight streamed into the room, scattering dust particles in its beams.

The twelve throwing knives, like sprites and swimming fish, sometimes accelerated and sometimes decelerated, passing each other over and over again, demonstrating powerful control. Some were as slow as leaves, while others soared to break the sound barrier, yet they never touched.

32 seconds later.

The twelve throwing knives completed the rehearsal of the Second Diagram in the "Heavenly God Atlas," hovered in the air, and finally stacked together and placed on the ground.

Lin Yan thought to himself, "The Second Diagram in the 'Heavenly God Atlas' is not difficult for me. I can practice the third picture later."

With proper training, there is still much room for him to develop his potential.

Even when distracted, he could still successfully practice the Second Diagram of the "Heavenly God Atlas".

Lin Yan picked up his phone, saw the name on it, answered the call, and laughed, "Why did you think of calling me today?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Chu Wei.

"I promised to treat you guys to a big meal back in City No. 032, but I haven't had a chance to keep my promise. Today, I'm going to splurge and treat you to something nice!"

His voice was loud, as if he had encountered some joyous occasion.

Lin Yan wondered to himself, "Could it be that I succeeded in my blind date this year?"

Lin Yan recalled this incident. At the time, they helped Chu Shitang process the monster corpse materials, and Chu Wei said he would treat everyone to a big meal later, but they never had the chance.

"Okay, when?"

"Tonight at 8 PM, 'Royal Palace of Weil', Room 1, Top Tier!"

Royal Palace of Weil is a very high-end entertainment center in Tianjing, with luxurious and expensive prices.

Night.

Lin Yan drove to the Royal Palace of Weil, where two rows of hostesses stood at the entrance, all of them quite attractive.

The decoration is magnificent, just like a palace.

Led by the waiter, Lin Yan entered the private room, where everyone from the Star Team was present, including Liu Mingxuan.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You've arrived very early."

Li Tao said, "It's a rare opportunity to eat at a big restaurant, so of course we have to come early. Our usual allowances can't afford to spend money here!"

"Brother Wei isn't usually this generous."

Lin Yan sat down on the sofa and teased.

Although Chu Wei is a second-generation rich kid, he has always worked hard to save money and is not extravagant in his daily life. His generosity today can be seen as a change of heart.

However, Chu Wei looked quite different today, with a ruddy complexion, just like a smiling Buddha.

Could it be that the truth about the blind date was successful?

Chu Wei patted his chest. "Look at what you're saying, we're all brothers, and I'm the most loyal guy. From today onwards, you can stay here every day if you want, and all your expenses will be paid by me Chu Wei!"

Everyone was stunned; this reaction was too bizarre.

Lin Yan glanced over and saw Chu Wei sitting on the side of the sofa with an oversized backpack on the outside, its contents round and puffy.

"That is..."

He exclaimed in surprise, "You actually bought the monster egg?"

Everyone noticed the oversized backpack. It's unusual for Chu Wei to carry such a large backpack just for a meal.

Bu Wenxing ran over, asking curiously, "Brother Chu, Brother Wei, come on, let us see what Lord-level monster egg looks like!"

Chu Wei laughed loudly three times.

"You don't know, my dad said a few days ago that I've done well this year, so he gave me a chance to pick a monster egg, and he'll pay for it."

"I never thought I'd get such a good deal, so I went to the market right then and there to look for it."

"But Lord-level monster eggs are so rare. I've searched all over the martial arts school, the HR Mall, and even our army, but I can't find any, let alone pick one."

"Finally, you know what happened?"

He said excitedly, "I searched the black market and actually found a suitable one. The seller told me that he had just bought the monster egg himself less than two days ago, and I just happened to stumble upon it."

"Haha, here's your chance, guess what kind of egg this is?"

Chu Wei took the backpack, but didn't open it, instead keeping it a secret.

Lin Yan found the more he listened, the more uneasy he felt.

He hesitated and asked, "Could it be... Iron Armored Dragon egg?"

Chu Wei was immediately shocked.

His eyes widened. "Lin Yan, you're amazing! You even guessed that!"

It really is Iron Armored Dragon Egg!

"Look!"

He opened his backpack, revealing a huge blue dragon egg, about a meter tall, with faint patterns on it.

"Let me tell you, it's quite a coincidence. We encountered that Iron Armored Dragon in City No. 032. Back then, I never imagined that I would be able to get my hands on an Iron Armored Dragon Egg so quickly. Moreover, I've tested it, and the mother of this dragon egg is at least High Lord level, so her genes must be excellent."

"I spent 6 billion to buy it. I wonder who was able to snatch the dragon egg of the high-level lord Iron Armored Dragon. It's so impressive!"

Chu Wei was extremely excited.

Lin Yan was speechless.

What a coincidence!

So, the Iron Armored Dragon Egg that Luo Feng sold ended up back in your hands!
