Lin Ke: I Know a Place (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"Linley's elder is definitely not just at the God-level."

Watching Linley's spiritual energy continuously rising, Doehring grew suspicious in his heart.

Being able to unrestrictedly elevate someone to an eighth-rank mage or eighth-rank warrior—if a God-level truly could achieve this, then the entire Yulan Continent would have long been ruled by the Yulan Empire or the O'Brien Empire.

Even if it cost the God-level expert a considerable price.

The High Priest having no descendants could still be understood.

But what about the O'Brien Empire?

The War God has descendants, after all. Could it be that even the War God didn't boost his own offspring's strength?

Those famous around the War God are only his few disciples, while his own children—not a single one has reached the Saint-level.

This doesn't make sense.

Just what level of strength does Linley's elder possess?

At this moment, deep in Doehring's heart, Lin Ke's status had already been elevated infinitely.

However, Doehring didn't voice any of this.

And at that moment, Linley had also completed his breakthrough.

Opening his eyes, Linley eagerly pulled up his Attribute Panel.

"In human form, I'm barely at the mid-eighth-rank stage now. But my mage strength has also reached the eighth-rank, which is a big boost to my overall power."

Thinking this, Linley turned his head to look at Doehring beside him.

"Grandpa Doehring," Linley said inwardly, "next, teach me eighth-rank magic. For the time being, I'm going to kill more magical beasts."

"No problem." Doehring never refused Linley's requests, but he was still a bit puzzled. "Linley, why are you killing so many magical beasts? With your current strength, even a newly broken-through Saint-level is no match for you. What improvement can fighting eighth- and ninth-rank magical beasts bring you?"

"This is my elder's requirement." Linley couldn't directly reveal the existence of Lin Ke's system, so he used the same excuse as before. "The more magical beasts I kill, the more rewards my elder gives me."

Could Linley's elder have a deep hatred for magical beasts?

Hearing Linley's explanation, Doehring could only think that way.

After all, at Linley's level of strength, money was no longer the most important thing.

And this kind of fighting couldn't possibly hone Linley's combat power.

Thinking it over, having a grudge against magical beasts was the most reasonable explanation.

"Squeak squeak~"

"Boss, what level are you at now?"

Beibei, who had been at the cave entrance, returned to Linley's shoulder and asked curiously.

"In human form, mid-eighth-rank warrior. As a mage, I just broke through to the eighth-rank and haven't learned eighth-rank magic yet, but I'm still much stronger than a seventh-rank mage."

"Squeak squeak~"

"Boss is so strong, but right now I can barely defeat a seventh-rank magical beast at best. Facing an eighth-rank one, I can only run for my life—I'm no match at all."

Beibei's tone was a bit downcast.

His speed was fast now, comparable to an eighth-rank magical beast.

But whether in attack or defense, he was at most on par with a seventh-rank magical beast.

Beibei wanted to help Linley, but his strength held him back.

"Don't lose heart, Beibei." Linley smiled and rubbed Beibei's head. "You'll definitely be able to help me in the future."

On this point, Linley wasn't lying to Beibei.

When he had chatted with Lin Ke before, Linley had already learned.

Beibei was no ordinary Shadow Mouse or Stone-Eater Rat.

Rather, it was a true supreme divine beast—the God-Eater Rat.

The second God-Eater Rat to appear in countless eons across heaven and earth.

Linley wanted to ask where the first God-Eater Rat was, but Lin Ke only said that Linley would meet it in the future.

"Brother Lin Ke." Linley looked at Beibei, who still seemed a bit downcast, and communicated with Lin Ke, "Is there any way to boost Beibei's strength?"

"Your luck is really good." Lin Ke's voice rang out in Linley's mind, "I've been researching products related to the Laws recently."

With that, Lin Ke snapped his fingers. "You can take a look in the mall yourself."

Hearing Lin Ke's words, Linley's eyes lit up.

Anything Brother Lin Ke put in the System Mall was bound to be good.

So Linley quickly opened the mall interface.

Primary Pet Beast Pill (Dark Element): 100,000 Green Energy Points

Intermediate Pet Beast Pill (Dark Element): 1,000,000 Green Energy Points

Advanced Pet Beast Pill (Dark Element): 10,000,000 Green Energy Points

Primary Law Pill (Wind Element): 100,000 Green Energy Points

Primary Law Pill (Earth Element): 100,000 Green Energy Points

Seeing that the new items were all Law Pills and Pet Beast Pills, Linley was puzzled. "Brother Lin Ke, what are Pet Beast Pills and Law Pills?"

"Both Law Pills and Pet Beast Pills can help with comprehending the Laws." Lin Ke's voice sounded. "Law Pills can be taken directly by humans, while Pet Beast Pills are for Magical Beasts."

However, Lin Ke didn't explain that the two were actually the same thing, differing only in shape and appearance.

After all, in Linley's view, humans and Magical Beasts were different.

But from a higher perspective, humans and Magical Beasts were no different—both could cultivate, both had intelligence.

Moreover, they both cultivated the same Laws, the only difference being the element.

"Great." Hearing Lin Ke's explanation, Linley grew excited. "Does that mean Beibei can become a god faster too?"

Linley felt hopeful.

Earlier, Lin Ke had told him that Beibei only needed to eat and sleep, and upon reaching adulthood, it would automatically become a god.

However, that adulthood might take a hundred years.

And Linley knew Beibei's lazy nature.

It was enthusiastic about eating, but cultivation? Forget it.

So Linley had originally thought Beibei would need a long time to become a god.

But now, with Pet Beast Pills, Beibei could probably keep pace with Linley's own godhood.

Right, Linley didn't think becoming a god was difficult for him.

In just over half a year, he had gone from not even being a first-level warrior to an eighth-level warrior and eighth-level mage.

And Linley was only nine years old.

Not to mention the help from Brother Lin Ke and the system.

If he still couldn't become a god with all that, Linley felt he might as well just kill himself.

"Linley!" Lin Ke's voice interrupted Linley's excitement. "Think about it—you need to improve your own strength, buy Law Pills and Pet Beast Pills for yourself and Beibei, and also get a body for Doehring. All of that requires Energy Points. With your current strength, when will you ever save up enough?"

Lin Ke's words left the still-excited Linley stunned. "Brother Lin Ke, what do you suggest?"

"I do know of a place." Lin Ke sounded like the Big Bad Wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood. "But your strength is still too weak. At the very least, you need to reach the Saint-level limit, preferably become a god, before entering."

"Saint-level limit? Become a god?"

Lin Ke's words surprised Linley.

"Brother Lin Ke, this place you mentioned—can it really yield a lot of Energy Points?"

"Of course." Lin Ke quickly replied. "If you can really kill all the Saint-level and God-level beings inside, it will be enough to shape a perfect body for Doehring, and even greatly boost yours and Beibei's strength."

"I understand!" Hearing this, Linley's expression turned serious. "I'll focus on earning more Energy Points now."

With that thought, Linley stood up directly. "Beibei, let's go. Continue hunting Magical Beasts!"
