Chapter 78 Breaking News: The person who killed the Shadow Abyss Imperial Clan is named Lin Yuan!
The bottom layer is a pale gold color, which is the original base color of the Ten Wheels Merging into One and tempering the bones.
The golden bone pattern was wrapped with wisps of pale silver-white lines.
The lines are very fine and faint.
It's hard to tell unless you deliberately focus your attention and examine it closely.
Yet it's all over the body—the spine, shoulder blades, ribs, finger bones…
A thin, silvery-white halo surrounded the surface of each bone, omnipresent.
This is the power of spacetime!
Lin Yuan was extremely familiar with this energy.
Back at the Hexagon, when he was refining the red crystal, his spacetime ability activated automatically, desperately trying to contain the violent foreign energy.
Even though it was shaken away time and time again, the continuous pulling for seven hours allowed the power of time and space to unconsciously seep into the depths of its bones.
It wasn't that he actively cultivated and tempered his body, but rather that the spacetime ability within him spontaneously protected his life and silently transformed his physical form.
However, the third color was completely unexpected by Lin Yuan.
It's blood red!
Fine, capillary-like blood-red lines are densely distributed at the junction of the gold and silver-white bone patterns.
Although few in number, they are exceptionally eye-catching and glaring.
This is the pure energy left over after refining the red crystal.
The violent will within the crystal was completely refined by the silver-white phantom, leaving only its original power.
During the fusion process, it became deeply embedded in the bone structure, completely becoming its own power.
Three-color patterns, triple ultimate tempering!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan slowly clenched his fist.
In an instant, the bones that had merged into one emitted a subtle, clear hum, and the three-colored light patterns simultaneously lit up with a faint glow.
His physical strength has increased dramatically again compared to when he first broke through the Ten-Round Unity!
The specific improvement cannot be quantified, but it is certain that even if the Emperor's Shadow Burial ultimate move is withstood, it will still be effective.
Without the protective stone plates inside his body, he could probably withstand it with his own bones alone.
At this moment, Lin Yuan also took a moment to notice his own height.
I didn't notice it when I was at the hospital in Hangzhou, but just now when I was walking in the aisle of the train carriage, I clearly felt that my line of sight was higher than before.
His original height of 1.82 meters has increased to 1.84 meters.
After ten rounds of bone tempering and reshaping, coupled with repeated tempering by three-colored energy, his body actually grew taller.
"This is truly a case of turning misfortune into blessing."
Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.
After a night of life-or-death struggle, he gained far more than he had imagined.
A three-colored skeleton far exceeding the limit of the ten-wheel fusion, and a dark red light core that beats steadily within the chest cavity.
There is also a clump of pure residual energy that has not been fully refined and is enveloped by the power of spacetime.
The ball of energy hovered quietly beside the light core, perfectly still.
Once we arrive in Shanghai, we'll find a quiet training room to thoroughly refine this energy. Perhaps then, our strength can break through once again.
Just then, the car swayed slightly and began to slow down gradually.
The train's loudspeaker announced that it would soon pass through small towns along the route.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and happened to see an urgent news message pop up on the public screen at the front of the carriage.
[Early this morning, the National Security Committee of the Dragon Kingdom, in conjunction with the headquarters of the Superpowered Individuals Association, held an emergency press conference.]
This beast tide in Hangzhou was orchestrated by the evil cult Blood Eye Cult, which colluded with the Shadow Abyss Wolf Clan of the Underworld Demon Cave to destroy the Demon Cave's seal.
[A nationwide order has been issued to completely eradicate the Blood Eye Cult. More than forty cities have launched joint searches, and local supernatural ability legions and city defense forces have entered a state of Level 3 combat readiness.]
The scene switched instantly.
At the press conference, Fang Qing, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood in front of the podium with a calm and composed expression.
Microphones were everywhere in the audience, and flashbulbs were constantly going off, their light blinding.
Fang Qing spoke calmly to the audience.
"The seal on the demon's lair in Hangzhou has been reinforced again in the early hours of the morning. All remaining demons in the city have been eliminated, and the number of civilian casualties is being tallied."
"The most important battle in this campaign was the successful killing of a second-tier, sixth-level Shadow Abyss Emperor and three second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss Royals."
This is the first time in five hundred years that humanity has obtained a complete corpse of a member of the Shadow Abyss Imperial Clan, and it holds extremely important value for future research into the Demon Cave.
At this moment, reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands and asked loudly:
"Instructor Fang, may I ask which academy's high-ranking instructor was the one who killed the powerful member of the Imperial Clan? Or...?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing, standing on the stage, simply shook her head gently, her tone calm.
"He is neither a mentor nor a high-level superhuman, but an ordinary student taking the college entrance examination."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire press conference and the car where Lin Yuan was located fell silent.
The young man in the front row wearing headphones immediately took them off, and the passenger diagonally behind him also put down his water cup. They all stared at the screen, their faces full of shock.
Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously shrank deeper into the seat.
Before he could react, Fang Qing's voice rang out again.
"This examinee single-handedly killed members of the Imperial Clan and three members of the Royal Clan, and single-handedly protected dozens of citizens. His name is Lin Yuan, and he comes from Donghai City."
On behalf of the city of Hangzhou, I extend my sincerest gratitude to Lin Yuan!
Soon, Lin Yuan's personal information scrolled rapidly down the bottom of the screen.
Lin Yuan, 18 years old, a student from Donghai City, possesses an F-level lightning-type superpower and ranked first in Hangzhou's college entrance examination practical test.
With a score of 1756, the highest score in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, he single-handedly killed the second-tier, sixth-level Shadow Abyss Emperor!
However, what many people find regrettable is that no photos of Lin Yuan were released throughout the entire process.
...
The next second, the entire carriage exploded. Everyone was filled with disbelief, and murmurs rose and fell!
"Did I see that right? An F-rank superpower, slaying a second-tier imperial clan member? That's cheating, isn't it?!"
"Lin Yuan! That monster from the forum, the one who swept nine opponents and dominated the top spot on the leaderboard!"
"My friend took an exam in Hangzhou, and he said his score was twice that of the second-place candidate—that's absolutely terrifying!"
"Six hundred and sixty-six! Does this kid have a system? He's cheating!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's face stiffened. He immediately pulled up his coat hood, covering his face tightly, and curled up by the window.
He mentally berated Fang Qing, thinking, "He looks calm and reliable, but I never expected him to be so loose-lipped!"
Now everyone on the train knows Lin Yuan's name and that he killed the Shadow Abyss Emperor.
Before long, the news will spread throughout the entire supernatural community.
Lin Yuan secretly rejoiced that Shen Man and Su Qingyue were not in this carriage at the moment.
Otherwise, Su Qingyue would definitely panic and make a sound, and Shen Man would look on with schadenfreude, watching him make a fool of himself.
The train sped northward.
In the distance outside the window, the originally blurry gray-blue outline gradually became clear, and a magnificent metropolis suddenly came into view.
Shanghai, here we come!
