"It seems you share my thoughts, Your Excellency X?"
Zi Yan slowly closed his wooden box, staring intently at Reilo.
" The Moon Crystal Stone is my purpose in coming here, and I am determined to obtain it!"
Reilo's voice was very firm.
The materials related to " <Starry Sky Academic> " demonstrate a fervent dedication to scholars like Reilo, who have gradually embarked on their own academic research path, that is incomprehensible to outsiders.
Zi Yan raised an eyebrow.
"Determined to win? Heh! Bai Qi warned me to be careful with you, and it seems there was a reason for that. Coincidentally, I don't want to give up your Flame Magic Core either!"
A battle between the two sides is imminent.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Just then, accompanied by screams, a series of violent tremors came from the rooftop. The [Spellcaster], the [Triple Grimoire], and the three black-robed figures rushed up.
Only Zi Yan and Reilo remained on the first floor.
Beneath the X Mask, two eyes met purple eyes.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
Zi Yan frowned; she sensed a familiar feeling emanating from Reilo.
Reilo took a deep breath, ignoring Zi Yan's question, and said suddenly, "Since you're also interested in these magic cores, why don't we exchange them? These magic cores are incredibly valuable, but they're not of much use to me. You don't want to miss out on the good show up above, do you?"
If we can obtain these Moon Crystal Stone, it doesn't matter at all if we have to give up some unnecessary benefits.
Scholars are just scholars, not businessmen.
As for the [Flame Soul Witch]' s animosity towards him, in Reilo's view, it was nothing more than a small story on his academic journey of seeking knowledge, and he had no need to get too entangled with such a passerby on the path of academic pursuit.
"Oh?"
Zi Yan was surprised.
What was thought to be an inevitable battle turned out to be X's initiative to propose an exchange.
With a slight smile, Zi Yan said, "Your flame Energy Crystal seem to originate from some kind of high-level Magical Beast, and their value far surpasses these Moon Crystal Stone. Are you sure you want to trade with me?"
"Sure!"
Reilo did not hesitate for a moment.
Zi Yan's expression gradually turned serious as he stared directly into Reilo X Mask. After a while, he finally made up his mind.
"Good!"
After opening the wooden box and confirming the items being traded, both parties carefully observed each other.
Any unusual movement could instantly trigger a life-or-death battle between the two.
finally!
As Reilo received the Moon Crystal Stone containing three ostrich egg-sized stones with both hands, he took a deep breath and gently stroked the Moon Crystal Stone with his left hand, his fingers trembling slightly.
Zi Yan also accepted the wooden box filled with flame Energy Crystal.
Taking a deep breath of the pure flame energy within the box, Zi Yan closed his eyes, a look of ecstasy on his face.
After closing the wooden box, seeing that Reilo was still immersed in the wonder of the Moon Crystal Stone, Zi Yan said, "I'm going to check the second floor. Where are you, sir?"
"I need to process these Moon Crystal Stone a little first."
Reilo replied without looking up.
Um?
Zi Yan was slightly taken aback, but didn't pay much attention. He ignored Reilo and went straight to the second floor, where the powerful pressure was clearly far beyond the level of Enlightenment Scholar.
After Zi Yan left.
Reilo took a deep breath, and from beneath the X Mask, he could no longer suppress an uncontrollable, frenzied laugh of excitement.
"Hehehe, hahahahaha! Finally... I got it."
Despite the earth-shattering battle upstairs, Reilo remained unmoved. He placed one hand on the Moon Crystal Stone, feeling the faint lunar power flowing within his body. The Moon Crystal Stone, the size of an ostrich egg, was being absorbed by Reilo little by little, transforming into Moon Mark.
One, two, three, four...
The Moon Mark on his body increased, while the ostrich egg-shaped Moon Crystal Stone grew smaller and smaller.
By the time fourteen Moon Mark appeared on Reilo's body, the Moon Crystal Stone, the size of an ostrich egg, had been completely consumed by Reilo.
"Two of the Moon Mark were from before, which means that this Moon Crystal Stone, weighing 1200g, provided me with 12 Moon Mark?"
An indescribable feeling!
It seems that because of these Moon Mark, coupled with his observations and insights into the moon over the past six months, Reilo has gained a deeper understanding of the moon in the sky.
"The power of the moon seems to be a change in some kind of Mental Power. As the connection with this power of the moon grows stronger, it is influencing my Mental Power and causing some kind of change in my mind."
Boom, boom, boom.
The vibrations from the rooftop grew increasingly intense.
Dust kept falling from the ceiling, and some cracks were even faintly visible.
However, Reilo, who was immersed in the deeper power of the moon, remained unmoved. He reached out his left hand to the second Moon Crystal Stone and gently pressed it on, once again drawing in the power of the moon to absorb it.
"A level 0 Energy Magnetic Field only requires 100g of Moon Crystal Stone to complete the grafting of the Dream Moon Technique, while a level 1 Energy Magnetic Field requires 1000g. These Moon Crystal Stone can still provide you with more than three Moon Mark."
"The grafting of illusions in the Dream Moon Technique seems to be more like a kind of sacrifice, using the Moon Crystal Stone to sacrifice to the moon through one's connection with it, and then gaining the power that comes from that sacrifice."
"The power of the moon manifests in countless ways, but regardless of the method, it tends to be a kind of illusory Mental Power. The Dream Moon Technique, the Moon-Drawn Tides, the Eternal Moon Cold Flame, and so on, are all just special Mental Power obtained after communicating with the power of the moon."
Reilo was completely immersed in his understanding of the power of the moon.
At the same time, his Mental Power also seemed to change due to the increasingly close connection with the power of the moon, and his body was shrouded in a faint moonlight.
at the same time.
When Zi Yan ran up to the second floor, she was greeted by a scene completely different from what she had imagined.
Most of the elite Mochiu troops were already dead!
The middle-aged elder of the Guyue Family, [Leiming], floated in mid-air, resembling a miniature sun, with a layer of sunlight emanating from his body.
The pupils of both eyes, one representing the sun and the other the moon, constantly rotate.
"This is a Level 1 Energy Magnetic Field... this is the power of the Sun and Moon Magic Eye? It's truly amazing..."
Even the strongest member of the Mochiu Clan, a level 1 peak Demon Heart with incredible speed and a powerful, mysterious burning and melting ability, could only flee in a sorry state as he leaped and bounded under the might of [Thunder].
The old woman gazed at the old man in the sky, her eyes moist.
"Finally, we succeeded! After so many years of sacrificing for the family, we've finally succeeded..."
The old man stood tall in the sky.
His eyes were calm and undisturbed as he looked down at the rat that was constantly jumping around, a hint of disdain appearing on his aged lips.
Is all this jumping around useful?
"You merely borrowed a tiny fraction of the Demon Eye's Radiation Force; with your strength, how long can you sustain this?!"
The Demon Heart's right side was severely burned, and it screamed in anger.
boom!
Another burst of thunder and fire erupted.
Although Demon Heart managed to evade the flames with astonishing speed, another elite Mochiu monster perished in the inferno.
Looking down with arrogance.
The old man said calmly, "It seems you haven't realized the difference between us. That was just my own power."
In an instant, he traversed dozens of meters. Looking at the last four elite warriors of Mochiu remaining in the second-level space, Demon Heart's expression shifted from fear, anger, and resentment to a resolute look.
The right half of his body was severely burned by the flames.
Demon Heart concentrated all his power in his left side, and with unprecedented courage and the future hope of the Mochiu Clan, charged once again towards the aged human.
Die!!!
The Demon Heart screamed hysterically.
"Ignorance."
Looking down from a high vantage point.
This time, the old man gently pointed with his left hand, and a tranquil spiritual power enveloped it, covering ten meters, eight meters, six meters, five meters...
As the Demon Heart drew closer to [Thunder], its left half was gradually annihilated by the eerie power of the moon. In the final three meters, the Demon Heart let out a scream and vanished with incredible speed from the second-floor hall, fleeing towards the Moonlight Elevator.
Its left arm had already been dissolved into nothingness by the power of annihilation!
Even though he could only borrow a sliver of the Sun and Moon Magic Eye's Radiation Force, the old man at this moment was already a terrifying existence that no low-level scholar in this spatial node could look directly at.
"This is the true power of the Sun and Moon Magic Eye."
The old man said calmly.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The few remaining Mochiu also fled.
The old woman's eyes were moist as she looked up at [Thunder], a mixture of excited smiles and sorrowful tears.
This plan has been going on for over a hundred years.
He was the fifth genius scholar to be sacrificed in his family, stuck in the level 0 Energy Magnetic Field until his death. No one knew what sacrifices they had made for the family.
Whether it's [Thunder] or myself, the meaning of our existence in this world is to pray for the summoning of the Sun and Sun and Moon Magic Eye on the fifteenth of May each year, during the Demon Eye Festival, so as to complete the family's plan and enable the Ximoer Duchy to stand among the many duchies.
The family had even forgotten their own names, only knowing code names like [Lei Ming] and [Run Feng].
"It worked! It finally worked! Waaaaah..."
Women are often sentimental, and even in middle age, they can't help but sob softly.
On one hand, I was moved; on the other hand, I felt disappointed.
At this moment, she felt a sense of emptiness. She had already fulfilled her purpose in life; what meaning did her life hold from now on?
[Thunder]'s gaze slowly turned to the crowd coming up from the lobby on the first floor.
And you?
When [Flame Soul Witch] and [Triple Grimoire] were scanned by [Thunder's] gaze, they felt a burning stinging sensation, a stinging pain from the Mental Power tainted by the power of annihilation.
I have no intention of being your enemy!
It was Zi Yan who was the first to speak up. Knowing that the aftermath was beyond his control, he turned and left the hall without looking back.
"I have no intention of being your enemy, Your Excellency Lei Ming."
Kobe then made a statement and hurriedly left.
Having witnessed the terrifying power of this elder from the Guyue Family, the two individuals who held the title of elder were so frightened that they fled in terror.
What remained were the [Sorcerer] and three mysterious men in black robes wearing Golden Mask.
