Fragment Collection Roulette | The Third Leg Without Feeling

Just as Lin Jing's thoughts were racing,

"BOOM--!!!"

The Clear Sky Hammer and the arc of lightning Lin Jing whipped out behind him collided.

A deafening, earth-shattering roar erupted.

At the core where the two forces clashed, a blinding white light burst forth.

Shockwaves rolled out, uprooting the surrounding trees and sending dirt and debris flying through the air.

However, after only a momentary stalemate, the lightning arc seized the absolute upper hand.

The arc seemed to possess a life of its own, instantly wrapping around the entire Clear Sky Hammer.

Following that, the lightning surged upward along the hammer's shaft.

It was too fast for anyone to react.

Tang Hao clearly had not anticipated such a situation.

He had assumed that even if this hammer strike couldn't shatter the lightning, it would at least result in a mutual injury.

But he hadn't expected this lightning arc to be anything but a straightforward, linear attack.

By the time he wanted to respond, it was already too late.

The power of the lightning violently eroded into his body.

The next second,

Tang Hao's entire body went rigid.

He stood straight as a ramrod, like a javelin driven into the ground.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, desperately trying to suppress the shaking.

But it was useless.

That lightning power was extremely bizarre.

It did not invade his meridians, nor did it disrupt the flow of his Spirit Power.

It simply followed his skin and muscle fibers, spreading with a specific target in mind.

And the direction it was spreading was very, very bad.

Alarm bells rang in Tang Hao's heart, and an intense sense of crisis surged within him.

He ignored everything else, frantically mobilizing the Spirit Power in his body to try and completely intercept the invading lightning.

The two forces engaged in a fierce tug-of-war beneath his skin.

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Tang Hao's forehead.

He stared fixedly at Lin Jing in the distance, his eyes filled with horror and confusion.

This person's strength...

Just what level had it reached?

Could it be the legendary...

God?

Damn it, I messed up, why are there only three seconds left!

The "God" in Tang Hao's mouth was already frantic, scratching his head in agitation.

Lin Jing casually fired another bolt of electricity into Tang Hao's body, then took the Blue Silver Grass and soared into the air.

His figure vanished in an instant, leaving only his voice echoing in the sky.

"Tang Hao, today is just a lesson for you. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Also, don't think about taking your son and running away."

"If that kid named Tang San doesn't enter Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy with Xiao Jing, I wouldn't mind paying the Clear Sky Sect a visit..."

Lin Jing knew very well what the two things Tang Hao cared about most were: one was A-Yin, and the other was the Clear Sky Sect.

In the face of these two, Tang San didn't even rank.

Using the Clear Sky Sect to threaten Tang Hao was absolutely effective.

"A-Yin!"

"No! My A-Yin!"

Tang Hao stumbled a few steps in the direction where Lin Jing had disappeared.

Then, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached down to touch himself.

After a long while.

Tang Hao sat slumped in the cave behind the waterfall, feeling as though life had lost all meaning.

Six years later, he had once again experienced the feeling of losing A-Yin.

Not only that, but in his desperation over A-Yin being taken, he had forgotten to resist the lightning power in his body.

Resulting in... resulting in him losing the use of one leg.

He was left with only one.

He had been confirming it for quite a while now, and there was absolutely no feeling...

He could even smell the scent of burnt meat.

"At least it's just paralyzed, not severed..."

Tang Hao could only console himself with that, then stared blankly at the pile of dirt.

Lin Jing had already returned to his home in Holy Soul Village.

He still felt a lingering fear; it was fortunate the system had come through, otherwise he would have been entangled by Tang Hao.

He smoothed out his racing heartbeat.

"Sigh... I originally wanted to return to Holy Soul Village to avoid bad luck, but I didn't expect the bad luck to arrive the moment I stepped in."

"But as the old saying goes, the rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish!"

"Although it was a bit dangerous, the harvest was quite bountiful!"

Lin Jing casually grabbed the flowerpot on the windowsill, pulled out the Blue Silver Grass inside, and tossed it aside.

Then he placed A-Yin inside, filled it with soil, and watered it.

Afterward, he sat on the wooden bed frame to the side and took out the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone that belonged to A-Yin.

He didn't rush to absorb it, but instead began to study the system's new function.

[Fragment Collection Roulette unlocked.]

The system page appeared before his eyes, and these were the first words he saw.

Lin Jing clicked in impatiently.

He wanted these fragments too much; after all, every single fragment was a trump card for survival.

The roulette page switched, and his gaze swept over the various fragments.

Roadside Stray Dog's Path to Godhood, Technique Sea Serpent's Unyielding Spirit, Dead Phoenix Awakens the Inferior King, Formless God...

There were too many, making Lin Jing's head spin, but he never saw any fragments of Emperor Jing.

"Could it be that he's too strong and was banned?"

Lin Jing wondered if this damn system was afraid of him living too comfortably?

[Ding!]

[Technique Sea Serpent's Unyielding Spirit is Emperor Jing, Host, stop slandering this system in your heart!!!]

The system's voice sounded somewhat exasperated.

It had gone to such great lengths for him, only to be doubted!

"The Sea Serpent is Emperor Jing?"

Lin Jing was stunned and ignored the system's exasperation.

"Forget it, whatever."

"How do I get draws for this roulette?"

Lin Jing asked directly.

[Mall Roulette, Task Point exchange, task rewards.]

"Only these three ways to get them?"

[Yes.]

"Then how many Task Points for one draw?"

Lin Jing continued to ask.

[100 Task Points.]

Lin Jing: "..."

"The Mall Roulette only costs ten Task Points! Yours costs one hundred per draw?!"

Lin Jing pointed at the light screen, furious: "You're running a rip-off shop!"

The system completely ignored his clownish behavior.

Lin Jing waited for a moment, and seeing no response, he said sheepishly:

"Uh, System, don't you need to issue some tasks? I still owe you ten Task Points, I need to pay it back as soon as possible, don't you think..."

[Really?]

The system was a bit suspicious; why had the host become so proactive today?

"Really!"

Lin Jing nodded repeatedly, "I'm not the type to owe debts."

[Good job, Host!]

The system gave Lin Jing a thumbs-up on the light screen.

[Task Issued: Absorb Spirit Bone.]

[Absorb one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.]

[Reward: 1 Task Point.]

The smile that had just appeared on Lin Jing's face froze.

Lin Jing refused to believe it and asked: "System, did you make a mistake with this one point?"

[No.]

The system replied firmly.

Forget it, Lin Jing thought, one point is better than nothing.

In any case, this was a task he had intended to do anyway.

He closed his eyes and began to absorb the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone before him.

Holy Soul Village, back mountain.

Tang Hao sat up abruptly from the ground. He suddenly wondered if that Emperor Jing might do something to Tang San.

Then he sat back down.

He remembered that Emperor Jing seemed to have said before leaving that as long as he didn't take Tang San away, it would be fine.

A powerhouse like Emperor Jing shouldn't stoop to lying.

Probably...

Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked toward the blacksmith shop.

The leg that had been crippled was an internal injury and didn't show while he was walking.

He only had Tang San left now; nothing could happen to Tang San...
