Reincarnation Reward

"Dead?"

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He had spent his life seeking immortality and the Dao, pursuing the ultimate of martial arts.

In the end, he succeeded in shattering the void, proving his Dao through martial arts, and ascending to the upper realm.

However, as soon as he arrived in the upper realm, all he could see was a vast expanse of white, filled with white, gelatinous substances.

In less than a breath, Lin Chao felt an intense sense of threat.

His soul instantly dissipated, and he died on the spot.

"Interesting." Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He ascended to the upper realm, only to die in less than a second.

This made Lin Chao somewhat vigilant.

"Whatever, let's check out the rewards this time."

[Current Reincarnation Score: Excellent.]

This answer did not surprise Lin Chao.

If he hadn't ascended to the upper realm, perhaps the score would have been even higher.

[Rewards Obtained: Status +0.5; Talent Solidification Card x2; Reincarnation Luck Bonus x2; First Prize Happy Ball Lottery x1 (20% Stability)]

"Status increased by 0.5?"

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

In an instant, he felt like his entire being had changed.

His perception of the world became clearer, and he seemed to be able to hear more sounds.

He closed his eyes and could hear the snoring from upstairs, the sounds from downstairs, and the scuttling of cockroaches in the hallway.

"Is this what a 0.5 increase in Status feels like?"

Lin Chao was slightly delighted.

With a 0.5 increase in Status, Lin Chao felt he was no longer human.

Even Lin Ping in his previous life, after shattering the void, might not have been stronger than him.

"This feeling is quite good."

Lin Chao waved his hand, and the water cup on the table landed steadily in his palm.

"My lifespan seems to have extended significantly as well."

Lin Chao looked at his body and discovered that it had also mutated, becoming as precious as a delicacy.

It was like Tang Sanzang from his memories.

"What would happen if Status increased by 1?"

Lin Chao pondered.

An increase in Status brought a huge boost to Lin Chao's strength.

"If that Bronze King were to appear now, I probably wouldn't fear him, but I can't be sure."

Lin Chao didn't know the Bronze King's strength, but he didn't seem particularly strong.

Otherwise, in his previous life, before he had even shattered the void, he would have been able to kill the Azure Dragon Stone and its avatar.

"Talent Solidification Card?"

Lin Chao's gaze fell upon this item.

Instantly, a flood of information entered his mind.

"I can solidify talents from my reincarnation onto myself?"

Lin Chao was pleased.

This Talent Solidification Card was very good.

He had many excellent talents during his reincarnations.

If he could solidify them onto his body, it would be a significant improvement for Lin Chao.

"In my three reincarnations, I've acquired many talents: Alchemy, Gun Soul, Slaughter Mastery, Sword Soul, Unwavering Dao Heart, Sword Come..."

Lin Chao carefully analyzed these talents.

Currently, he only had two Talent Solidification Cards.

"I'll use one first and save the second one."

Lin Chao fell into thought.

Based on his understanding, Talent Solidification Cards were only obtainable by achieving an "Excellent" score.

To be safe, he decided to keep one Talent Solidification Card.

First, solidify the previous talents.

"These talents are all very good, but if I had to pick the one that offers me the biggest improvement, it would be the Unwavering Dao Heart."

The Unwavering Dao Heart is a very mysterious thing.

It doesn't increase combat power on the surface, but in reality, it makes one fearless of corruption and other such things.

Lin Chao, in his state as an ordinary person, was able to resist the foreign artifact corruption from the Bronze King solely because he possessed the Unwavering Dao Heart.

This was already incredibly terrifying.

"The Unwavering Dao Heart is good, and next, Sword Come is also very strong, capable of severing heavenly secrets."

Sword Come has already surpassed ordinary sword techniques; it falls into the category of divine abilities and sorcery.

Lin Chao didn't want to miss out on it.

"The Language Infectiousness talent can also sometimes play a good role."

In modern cities, the Language Infectiousness talent might even have a greater effect.

"I'll stick with the Unwavering Dao Heart for now. Once I have more Talent Solidification Cards, I'll choose other talents."

The Unwavering Dao Heart is very strong, and it's currently the only purple-tier talent, providing Lin Chao with a lot of hidden strength.

"Solidify Unwavering Dao Heart."

Lin Chao used a card and immediately felt a subtle change within himself, very similar to what Lin Ping experienced before.

"Good."

Lin Chao felt that this time's gains were substantial, much more so than the last.

Lin Chao then turned his attention to the final reward.

First Prize: One Happy Ball Lottery ticket (Stability: 20%).

Lin Chao opened his phone and looked at the numbers displayed, falling into thought.

"The jackpot for the next draw?"

Happy Ball is a very popular lottery.

A ticket costs just a few yuan.

The jackpot can sometimes exceed a hundred million.

Many veteran players add extra bets.

Lin Chao wasn't interested in lotteries.

Even if he bought them, it was only occasionally when he was bored and bought them with classmates.

"Stability 20%? Does that mean it's not guaranteed to win?"

Lin Chao chuckled.

Reality is constantly changing; even the slightest difference in choices made at any given juncture can lead to a different future.

Of course, it's also possible that it's predetermined that Lin Chao shouldn't win this first prize.

In that case, the outcome would also change.

Lin Chao wasn't too concerned about this first prize with its 20% stability.

He looked at the numbers on his phone and pondered for a moment.

In this world, online lottery purchases were permitted.

"Brother Lin Chao, come help me quickly." Zhao Xiaoyi's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Chao opened the door and saw Zhao Xiaoyi struggling to move a huge box.

It was less about moving and more about pushing.

Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her hand instinctively fanned herself.

"Mm." Lin Chao lifted the box with one hand.

Zhao Xiaoyi's face showed gratitude.

"What did you buy?" Lin Chao asked casually.

"A home treadmill," Zhao Xiaoyi replied enthusiastically. "I want to learn Martial Arts, so I need to build up my foundation. I bought a home treadmill first to get some exercise."

Lin Chao found the answer utterly ridiculous.

A treadmill, and a home one at that?

"The clothes drying rack you bought looks pretty good," Lin Chao said with a smile.

Lin Chao knew that many people would confidently declare they were going to exercise, buy a treadmill, and then, after three minutes of enthusiasm, the treadmill would end up being used to hang clothes, or become a resting place for their cat or dog.

Lin Chao suspected Zhao Xiaoyi would be the same.

"Brother Lin Chao, once I've mastered the Three Extremes Spirit Fist, I'm going to duel you!" Zhao Xiaoyi gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she looked at Lin Chao, "Brother Lin Chao, do you think you've gotten even more handsome?"

She hadn't paid much attention before, but now, looking closely, Zhao Xiaoyi felt Lin Chao had become even more handsome, his aura more ethereal.

"Did you get plastic surgery? Let me pinch your nose." Zhao Xiaoyi said, making a move as if to pinch his nose.

Lin Chao was slightly taken aback. "You're learning... the Three Extremes Spirit Fist?"

Lin Chao couldn't help but think of Mo Fengxue from the past.

She was a genius, and the Three Extremes Spirit Fist was created by her.
