Great Medicine and Fated Yang An
As the sky gradually brightened and a large red sun began to rise, Niu Dingtian's shadow rippled, and Lin Shan's corpse was spat out by Niu Dingtian's shadow. The Shadow Space was different from the normal space, and since Lin Shan had consumed too many rare and precious herbs, his corpse now looked rosy and warm. If it were a woman, it should still be warm.
Niu Dingtian shook Lin Shan's clothes, turning them all into fragments. The human body itself is a great medicine, let alone Lin Shan, the former protagonist. Along his journey, he had been showing off, slapping faces, and playing dumb to deceive others. He had consumed countless good things, such as ancient marrow milk and spiritual herbs that were thousands or tens of thousands of years old. He had consumed countless of these by consuming his luck.
These rare and precious materials are not so easy to digest. Although they did not turn into energy and stagnate in his body like Lin Hao, his body was constantly being cleansed and changed by these medicinal properties. Therefore, his flesh and blood were a kind of rare and precious material in themselves. Ordinary soul awakeners could increase their Xuan power by a major level as long as they ate some of Lin Shan's flesh and blood. They might even gain buffs such as immunity to all poisons and invincibility.
Niu Dingtian grabbed Lin Shan's corpse and infused it with his profound energy. Because the person's soul and life essence had been completely destroyed by the wave of heaven and earth, leaving only a corpse, there was no ability to resist. In just a moment, Niu Dingtian had completely absorbed Lin Shan's corpse.
Unlike Lin Hao, Lin Shan had cultivated for so many years that his physical body had reached a state of perfection, pure and flawless without any impurities. As a result, everything about Lin Shan disappeared without a trace.
Niu Dingtian's profound energy surged. After absorbing Lin Hao, he had already broken through to the upper level of the Yellow Rank. This time, after absorbing Lin Shan, the profound energy in Niu Dingtian's body jumped three times in a row, directly reaching the lower level of the Earth Rank.
Niu Dingtian's body trembled and twisted, his profound energy violently vibrated, and then his skin began to crack. Finally, his whole body became like a peeled egg, white and tender. He had used his profound energy to forcefully train his body rapidly, reaching a point of complete transformation.
"My cultivation level is still a bit low. I need to think of a way," Niu Dingtian muttered to himself, then turned his gaze to the other side of the Great Cloud Mountain Academy, where there seemed to be a large medicinal herb.
Meanwhile, in a secret room within the Great Cloud Mountain Academy, an old man with a white beard was frowning as he continuously calculated something. This old man was none other than Qi Lanshan, the previous headmaster of the Great Cloud Mountain Academy, a seasoned Heavenly Rank expert.
Just now, a violent fluctuation of heaven and earth suddenly occurred over the beast arena. Even ordinary people could see dark clouds gathering and the sky changing color, while these Heavenly Rank experts could deeply feel the terror that had just occurred there.
It was precisely because of the previous fluctuation that the beast arena was filled with a faint energy, making Qi Lanshan afraid to extend his perception. He could only carefully calculate from here. "What is Lin Shan up to now, causing such a commotion?"
Qi Lanshan had been at the Great Cloud Mountain Academy for so long that he knew every inch of this place like the back of his hand. But now, because of the changes at the beast arena, it seemed as if everything had slipped out of his control, which filled him with a deep sense of unease.
"This human-shaped firecracker, if it's going to explode, it's fine, but it actually came after us." Qi Lanshan's unease grew. Great Cloud Mountain Academy had existed for quite some time, even longer than most people imagined, so it naturally knew some things that ordinary people didn't.
Every so often, some so-called Chosen Ones appear on the Heavenly Secrets Continent. These Chosen Ones are extremely powerful and often achieve in just two or three years what others cannot accomplish in a lifetime, and they are able to do many miracles.
If that were all, it would at most arouse some Envy from others. However, after the chosen one reaches the peak, his fate will take a sharp turn for the worse, turning him into an unstable bomb. At best, he will go mad and explode; at worst, he will trigger a series of natural disasters. In short, he will not have a good ending.
Lin Shan is clearly the kind of chosen one in the records who is heading towards Destruction, and in recent years he has become increasingly eccentric, always looking for a reason to cause trouble. That's why he chose to back down when facing Lin Shan.
"Unexpectedly, things have changed. I hope Great Cloud Mountain can weather this storm safely," Qi Lanshan sighed, ordering the defenses of every corner of the Great Cloud Mountain Academy to be strengthened. Then, recalling the strange, mutated fluctuations, he sighed again, "These are turbulent times."
Meanwhile, in another corner of the Sky Continent, in a luxurious room, a boy lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. Although he was only sixteen years old, the vicissitudes of life in his eyes were impossible to erase.
"Where is this..." The boy rubbed his head and got out of bed. There was a bandage around his head, and a faint smell of ointment wafted from it. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a bright sixteen-year-old girl dressed as a servant walked in.
Seeing the boy get up, the girl ran over happily and said, "Hey, young master, you're awake! Lie down properly, don't move around if you're injured."
"You are... Bizhu?" The boy's eyes were filled with disbelief, his hands began to tremble slightly, and his eyes even turned a little red.
Seeing the young man's appearance, the girl Bizhu quickly asked with concern, "Young Master, what's wrong with you? You seem like a different person. Did that Young Master Wang beat you senseless? Wait a minute, I'll go call Master and Madam."
After saying this, Bizhu grabbed her skirt and ran towards the door, calling out for her master and mistress. The young man turned to look at his youthful face in the mirror, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. He pinched his thigh, feeling the pain, and murmured to himself, "They're really back, really back."
However, his experience of navigating the chaos of the world for over a decade quickly calmed him down. He knew the course of many major events in the future, what treasure troves and rare materials were in which places, who would become great heroes, and who would soon suffer a terrible fate. He also knew what kind of disaster would befall the Heavenly Secrets Continent in the near future.
Thinking of the fates of those around him, young Yang An made a firm decision for this lifetime: he would never let his parents and relatives die in front of him again, he would never let Bizhu have her essence drained by the demon and then die from exhaustion because of him, and he would never let that person leave him, and he would never let all the fates repeat themselves.
At the same time, all players heard the game's prompts, accompanied by a holographic projection of Yang An:
