Chen Lin first reviewed everything he had experienced recently, identifying the shortcomings in his responses to danger and the best ways to handle them.
He compared them against one another, preparing lessons he could draw upon if he encountered similar situations again.
Next, he took stock of the methods he could use in the Upper Primal Domain.
He categorized them by strength, energy consumption, and offensive and defensive effects, so he could choose the right response as quickly as possible in battle.
Then he sorted through his treasures.
Having experienced the Upper Primal Domain firsthand, he fully understood how it suppressed his treasures. He handed those he could not use to Princess Qinghua, asking her to exchange them for cultivation resources.
Time passed like a white colt flashing past a crack, slipping quietly away.
Ten years later.
Inside the Heavenly Mechanism House, Chen Lin slowly opened his eyes, a trace of delight appearing on his face.
He immediately left the Heavenly Mechanism House and walked over to the pool.
With a thought, a Formless Blade flashed out and vanished, landing on a black crab beside the pool.
Then he flicked a translucent stone from his fingers.
The stone arced toward the water. A silver fish swimming in the pool turned aside to avoid a school of fish approaching from the opposite direction, only to be struck by the stone at precisely that moment.
Pained, the silver fish plunged to the bottom of the pool and accidentally collided with a white conch.
Enraged, the white conch immediately released a white Water Arrow. But the silver fish was astonishingly fast and dodged it in a flash, leaving the water arrow shooting straight toward the black crab resting on the bank.
Sensing danger, the black crab sprang up in alarm to evade it.
