…

On the other side, Lin Qiye returned to the Emerald Lake Villa as he expected the Painted-skin Demon would not appear.

When he returned to the villa, he finally heard the notification of the Life Lantern Gem that he had not for a long time.

[Successfully defying heavens to change your fate: You are five years and two months old. You killed the Son of the Netherworld and resolved one of the main threats of the Empress Universe. You blocked the path of the Painted-skin Demon’s fusion. The Painted-skin Demon only had one way left.]

[You obtained one million movement points. You now have 6.89 million points remaining.]

[You obtained the Talent Developing Accelerate Crystal, increasing your speed by 300%. Its duration is a month, and its effective range is 300 meters.]

Talent Developing Accelerate Crystal again?

Looking at this extraordinary reward, the corners of Lin Qiye’s mouth curled up.

“With this crystal, the three of us with SSS-Grade talent will grow even faster. The sooner we reach perfection, the smaller the mishaps that will happen to the demon race, the Painted-skin Demon, and the Winged Wolf Tribe.

“The sooner we get rid of them, the sooner we won’t have any more problems.”

Lin Qiye didn’t like to delay.

After all, the Painted-skin Demon was strange. Although Lin Qiye had been sabotaging its plan, it would still hold a threat as long as it didn’t show up.

Furthermore, the Winged Wolf Tribe and the demon race had almost five billion combat power.

If a battle broke out, Lin Qiye could only deal with the Painted-skin Demon, the Wind Emperor, and the Demon Emperor.

Zhu Yuheng and Jiang Lianyi had to lead the team to resist the armies.

Hence, Lin Qiye needed the two of them to develop quickly.

Lin Qiye immediately handed the crystal to Zhu Yuheng.

“I got another crystal that can speed up the development rate by three times. The effect is one month.

“Train in seclusion for the next month!”

Zhu Yuheng held the crystal and nodded. “Okay!”

Jiang Lianyi’s eyes were also bright as she sized up Lin Qiye. Her eyes shone with admiration.

“Mr. Gu is really amazing. He is carrying us!”

Lin Qiye smiled. He wanted to say something humble, but Jiang Lianyi suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Big Brother! Do you have a new SSS-Grade talent? A mental type?!!”

“I got one by chance.”

“By chance? How can a talent be increased like this? Shouldn’t it be fixed at the moment you Awaken? I only have one, and Zhu Yuheng has two. How can you increase it?!”

Jiang Lianyi was puzzled.

Lin Qiye thought for a moment and said, “Because I’m special?”

Jiang Lianyi was speechless.

“You’re a genius, okay?”

Jiang Lianyi looked as if she had seen a ghost, and her expression was strange.

She could already sense that this talent could be brought back to the main world. If Gu Shaoshang could take it back, he would be invincible among his peers in all aspects!

As expected of the monster from Heavenly Court Island!

Jiang Lianyi sighed from the bottom of her heart.

The people from Heavenly Court Island are too terrifying.

Regarding Jiang Lianyi’s shock,Lin Qiye shook his head and laughed.

However,Zhu Yuheng didn’t care about his strength. She only asked with concern, “Shaoshang, you’ve been away for so long. The things you’ve encountered must be dangerous.”

Lin Qiye turned to look at Zhu Yuheng.

“It’s a little tricky. The opponent is a special existence. He’s good at mental attacks, but I was lacking in this aspect, so I almost lost. However, I was one second faster than him and killed him!”

Upon hearing that, Zhu Yuheng’s expression changed.

“One second? That’s too dangerous!”

As she spoke, Zhu Yuheng’s eyes dimmed a little. Her hands tightened around the hem of her clothes, and she couldn’t help but tense up.

“You… You’re not injured, are you?”

“I’m completely unharmed.”

Lin Qiye smiled calmly.

“What about internal injuries? Are you mentally injured? Do you need to go to the hospital? Or do you want to get checked by an expert with a mental talent?”

Zhu Yuheng was exceptionally worried, and her beautiful face wrinkled.

“I’m fine.”

“One second may seem like a long time, but for experts like us, missing by a hair’s breadth is a thousand miles away. Even if it’s 0.01 seconds faster, it’s still a victory without any suspense. So, although it looks like I only won by one second, I have won 100 times. Even if I give him 100 chances, he couldn’t kill me.”

Lin Qiye explained.

“Don’t lie to me. I know the dangers…”

Zhu Yuheng suddenly stepped forward and stared into Lin Qiye’s eyes.

“Don’t take such a risk next time, okay?”

Zhu Yuheng asked seriously.

At this moment, her palms were drenched in sweat.

She was extremely nervous.

It was only one second of victory. If Gu Shaoshang was not careful, he could be injured.

Has he been facing that kind of danger all along?

Zhu Yuheng clenched her fists tighter and tighter.

Her heart was caught in a knot, and a belief grew within.

“I must do my best to develop my talent and hope to be able to fight with him earlier so that he does not suffer such a dangerous battle…”

Seeing Zhu Yuheng’s affectionate but determined eyes, Lin Qiye was slightly stunned.

What does it feel like?

Jiang Lianyi reacted differently. She was concerned about how strong Lin Qiye was, but Zhu Yuheng’s focus was on whether he was hurt, his safety, and the risk he took.

No wonder Mother Gu likes the little Empress so much.

She’s indeed likable.

Lin Qiye smiled and patted Zhu Yuheng’s shoulder.

“After you train for some time and develop your second talent to 100%, you can fight with me.”

Hearing that, Zhu Yuheng smiled sweetly.

“You said it. Don’t go back on your words!

“However, after I train for a month, you have to teach me actual combat so that I won’t be a burden to you!”

Zhu Yuheng’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She was full of energy.

…

And so, for the next month, the three of them entered a state of frenzied training.

Zhu Yuheng only slept three hours a day.

She wished that she could spend all her time training.

After all, the Talent Developing Accelerate Crystal was a rare treasure.

Once the crystal was activated and used, it would be consumed during sleeping time as well.

Hence, Zhu Yuheng always felt that sleeping was a waste of time.

Sleeping increased the risk of Gu Shaoshang being injured.

She was unwilling to sleep.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Qiye would warp over and force her to sleep every night, she definitely wouldn’t be willing.

Under Zhu Yuheng’s influence, Jiang Lianyi also worked harder.

Training time always felt short.

In the blink of an eye, amonth passed.

The acceleration effect came to an abrupt end.

Zhu Yuheng, who was used to the acceleration, suddenly opened her eyes and sighed.

“It would be great if it could continue for a while more.”

Zhu Yuheng felt a little regretful.

On the other side, Lin Qiye also opened his eyes and huffed a breath of turbid air.

“The results of this month’s training are pretty good.”

After the Heavenly Thunder Annihilation, the Thunder God Aspect had also reached 100%, and its defense had officially entered the peerless stage with high attack power.

The Thunder God Domain had reached 72%, and it could condense more nanoparticles, which could be absorbed into the enemy’s body silently.

As for the Lightning Warp, it remained at 60%.

The Immortal Consciousness Soul went from 10% to 26%. The progress was a little slow. After all, it was a new talent system, so it was understandable.

However, although the Immortal Consciousness Soul’s progress was not significant, the increase in Lin Qiye’s combat strength was visible to the naked eye.

The development of mental powermade Lin Qiye’s control of the thunder particles more precise and exquisite!

Lin Qiye even had a feeling.

If his mental talent development rate reached 100%, his control of the lightning particles might be able to break through the nanometer scale and step into a microscopic stage.

It was terrifying!

In addition, the development of his mental talent also allowed Lin Qiye’s reaction speed to increase by five times!

With five times reaction speed and the enhancement of the Immortal Eye to see through the flow of time, he could easily guess his opponent’s attack methods.

Other than that, Lin Qiye also had the support of the immortal bone!

It could increase the development rate of each talent by 20%!

In other words, with all these improvements, little by little, Lin Qiye could crush any expert!

Killing 3 billion people in an instant might be rather difficult.

However, if he used all his strength and consumed the talents in his body, it was still possible to kill 1 billion people instantly!

Lin Qiye analyzed his combat strength.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, “I am ridiculously strong! I merely don’t know how strong the Painted-skin Demon can be. This fellow doesn’t even show up. I can’t guess its background.”
