Radiance Particle Transformation
Looking at the contents of the Marching Stone, Lin Zhen felt moved, but also a pang of sadness.
The Marching Stone was filled with soil, forming a sizable mound. On top of the mound, a flower was still alive on a tree branch.
Above the flower was actually a Special Star Crystal!
Radiance Star Crystal radiating endless Radiance Power!
After arriving at the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen has obtained two Special Star Crystal, one of which is Mental Power Star Crystal and the other is Space Star Crystal.
Obtaining these two Star Crystal greatly benefits Lin Zhen's strength and also grants him two ultimate skills: Soul Lock and Mind Power Teleportation.
He never imagined he would get a third Special Star Crystal; he was just one short of absorbing one before, which he regretted greatly.
But I never expected that Su Mingyue would leave me such a wonderful gift.
Su Mingyue certainly wouldn't have imagined that Lin Zhen was only one Star Crystal away from completing the advancement. She obtained this Radiance Star Crystal; she simply saw that it was a good thing and wanted to leave it for Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen could see that there should have been a second flower next to the one in the Radiance Star Crystal.
This is a Twin Star Crystal!
Star Fruit Tree has it that when ten Special Star Crystal appear, a Twin Star Crystal will appear, containing two Special Star Crystal.
Although absorbing a second Special Star Crystal of the same kind does not provide as much improvement as the first one, the benefits are still considerable, and Su Mingyue actually kept it for herself.
More importantly, Star Crystal dissipate once picked and are almost impossible to preserve. Su Mingyue actually came up with a solution: fill a Marching Stone with soil, add water, and place the branches inside. This allows for longer preservation, just like the Space-Time Wandering Flower, which can live on a small mountain and survive for a long time.
Of course, this Marching Stone cannot provide nutrients for as long as a small mountain, but it can still keep you alive for several months.
Lin Zhen picked up a handful of soil, feeling its fineness and moisture, and her eyes started to sting.
Were all the soils carefully selected?
Thinking of those slender, delicate hands constantly manipulating the black soil, Lin Zhen felt a heavy pressure on her body.
"What a silly girl."
Lin Zhen said something in a low voice, took a few deep breaths, and then removed the Star Crystal.
"Since it is a gift from the Ming Yue, I must not let it down. By absorbing this one, I will be able to obtain the Radiance Power."
"Among Star Strike, the Radiance Power is a very high-level skill, known as the king of prolonged battles. It not only possesses unparalleled speed but can also concentrate attacks and attach them to weapons. More importantly, it has extremely powerful regenerative abilities, capable of healing injuries and even regenerating severed limbs!"
"I previously obtained lightning, but lacking the atomic components, I was never able to fully control its power. If I could absorb the power of light, perhaps some amazing changes would occur?"
With that in mind, Lin Zhen placed the Star Crystal in front of his lower abdomen, maintaining his Mental Power shield while beginning to circulate his Dantian Qi.
Wisps of silvery air began to flow into Lin Zhen's Dantian.
This airflow contains not only cosmic energy, but also the power of light.
This Star Crystal is a fully mature Star Crystal. The power infused within its light, along with the powerful energy and light, made Lin Zhen feel warm all over.
"Ah! Such powerful Radiance Power! My body is rapidly recovering!"
During the previous battle with Yue Feng, Yue Feng pierced through the Liquid Metal arm shield with a single shot, injuring Lin Zhen's arm. However, a faint white light shone on his arm, and in a short while, the rather large wound scabbed over!
"It's amazing. My wounds have healed. I haven't even fully mastered this radiance yet, but it has already healed my wounds. Moreover, my Mental Power and Dantian Qi are also recovering rapidly."
"The title of King of Protracted Warfare is well-deserved. With the Radiance Power, the actual combat strength has definitely increased significantly. At least in group battles, I will no longer get tired so easily."
As the radiance was restored, Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi and Mental Power gradually returned to a full state, and he also felt that his Dantian Qi was getting closer and closer to saturation.
Is a breakthrough imminent?
"No, I can't break through right away. This Radiance Star Crystal is definitely a treasure. I must master its power. Anyway, I don't have to worry about Ming Yue's safety now. I can cultivate in peace. As for Yue Feng outside, let him wait."
With this in mind, Lin Zhen began to intentionally guide the Dantian Qi, allowing the power of light to enter his Dantian.
However, this radiant power is not so easy to control. It is faint, flowing into the Dantian along with the energy within the Star Crystal, but no matter how Lin Zhen tries to drive it, the light remains light and cannot be controlled by it.
Lin Zhen's Mental Power passed through simply, leaving nothing but a shadow in the light.
After failing repeatedly, Lin Zhen finally calmed down.
"No, this isn't right!"
"Light, like electricity, is almost impossible to capture, and there are three main components in a light source: atoms, molecules, and Charged Particles."
"Among them, light atoms and Lightning Atom represent the highest mystery of this energy, which cannot be easily comprehended, mastered, or used."
"The molecules in the light represent the heat energy of the light. When used by martial artists, it becomes a powerful healing force. Once you master the power of molecules, you will no longer be passively healing injuries, but actively healing them. For example, my small wound can be completely healed with a single thought, as the light flows, leaving no trace of the scar. That is when the Radiance Power is truly manifested."
"The Charged Particles in the radiance represent the radiation of light, which is of great help in battle. This radiation is a luminous body and also a manifestation of power."
"Mastering atoms or molecules is currently beyond my reach. What I need to do first is to master the Charged Particles inside them."
"Moreover, I have another advantage in mastering particles, which is that I myself possess Lightning Ions and photons. If I use them properly, I may be able to resonate with Charged Particles."
Thinking about this, Lin Zhen finally figured out the solution.
But while it sounds simple, it's not so easy to do.
Lightning Atom and photons flow within the radiance, yet they cannot resonate with Charged Particles in the slightest.
"Why?"
Lin Zhen calmed herself down again, her thoughts wandering.
"By the way. Light is peaceful and warm. If I want to understand the three elements of atoms, molecules, and particles, I must first be able to see them. I absolutely cannot see them when I am agitated."
Lin Zhen's soul is extremely resilient. With a strong will, he can force himself to calm down on many occasions.
He slowly closed his eyes, expelling all selfish thoughts and distractions, forgetting everything outside, forgetting that Yue Feng was still watching him from the outside, forgetting that he still had to leave the Star Fruit Tree, forgetting everyone, and even forgetting himself. Only his thoughts drifted, and only his Mental Power continued to support the protective barrier.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhen entered a state of clarity.
He felt that even though his eyes were closed, he could see everything clearly.
"I saw it! I saw it!"
He saw within his Dantian, strands of light gradually becoming clearer and then blurrier, blurring and then clearer, finally settling within his sight.
A small white Origin Point is the basic building block of light, the atom.
A warm and much larger bright spot—that's the molecule.
There are also smaller ones on top, covered with fine electrical currents; those are Charged Particles.
"This is a particle! This is Charged Particles! I've finally seen it!"
Driven by his Mental Power, the Lightning Ions within Lin Zhen's body slowly merged into the light, gently touching the Charged Particles.
The contact between the currents caused the Charged Particles to flinch slightly, as if hesitant, wondering where this electrically charged thing came from and why it felt so familiar yet so strange.
The Lightning Ions approached again and touched it once more.
The Charged Particles did not dodge this time. The electricity it contained was closely related to that of ions, so it did not reject the contact of ions.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen was secretly delighted.
He began trying to manipulate more Lightning Ions to move closer to the particle.
One, two, three, countless ions surround this particle, slowly beginning to Xuan Ze.
Although they are inanimate, atoms and molecules have instincts, just like water molecules instinctively resist when they encounter flames, even though the result is that they disappear into smoke.
Surrounded by numerous ions, the particle sensed no possibility of being harmed and gradually merged into the ions.
Ions and particles are both manifestations of speed, and Lin Zhen's Dantian instantly became a playground for them to run around in.
They circulate within the Dantian at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, making tens of thousands of laps in a single second. The only visible thing is a dense array of golden rays!
"That's about it!"
Sensing the cheers of the particles, which had completely merged into the ions, Lin Zhen's Mental Power began to approach.
The result was surprising. The particle did not reject Lin Zhen's Mental Power at all. It was almost assimilated by the ions and easily accepted Lin Zhen.
"Aha!"
"It's done! The ions and particles are resonating; they are all resonating with my Mental Power!"
"Come on, my darling, let all your friends come over here!"
In an instant, beams of light were drawn in, and driven by the particles, countless Radiance Power suddenly appeared within Lin Zhen's Dantian, condensing, contracting, and surging wildly! They gathered at Dark Star in an instant, and then burst forth again, making Dark Star resemble a newborn sun!
Today I'm adding an extra chapter, Chapter 8, and another extra chapter for the book's Alliance Leader (Tian Hao Yu). There's also a guaranteed chapter for tomorrow.
