Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 973 Experiencing Pain (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Then he opened another silver metal box, which also contained a potion, but this time it was hundreds of bottles of Dream Potion.

It contained a pink liquid.

He put the other items into the Source Core World, leaving only one bottle behind.

However, this medicine is not for drinking, but for smelling.

He opened the bottle, and a strange fragrance instantly filled the air.

"Whoo~"

Lynch inhaled the strange fragrance through his mouth and nose.

"Huh~"

In the gentle breeze, the fragrance enters the body and rushes to the brain.

Lin Qi felt his vision blur and the surrounding scenery begin to change.

A sudden, intense pain surged through my heart.

"Sigh~"

This pain felt incredibly familiar to him; every part of his body was being torn apart, his muscles, bones, and internal organs were all being pulverized.

Start rebuilding from scratch.

This is the living hell he experienced during his awakening and transformation.

One of the effects of the Dream Potion is to awaken the most painful experiences in the absorber's memory.

However, the pain is usually physical.

However, if the pain is not enough, it can create suffering, such as amplifying ordinary physical pain many times over.

However, there's no need to exaggerate the pain Lynch went through.

He went through it once and didn't want to go through it again.

But now he has to relive it all again.

"Huh~"

Lynch's body began to tremble violently. This feeling of being completely shattered and rebuilt from the inside out was too torturous.

The pain consumed his reason.

Even the various shocks experienced on the Bridge of Dreams cannot compare to this.

The experience caused Lynch to feel intense pain again.

At the same time, he absorbed more fragrance, and the liquid in the bottle was rapidly consumed.

Meanwhile, the pre-administered Guardian Elixir also played a role in protecting consciousness.

This allowed Lynch to maintain his clarity of mind.

If it were any other genius, they probably wouldn't have been able to handle it from the very beginning.

after an hour
"Whoo~"

Lin Qi opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air, looking exhausted and mentally drained.

However, the Guardian Elixir also plays a role, protecting the mind and restoring depleted mental energy.

A moment later, the effect disappeared, and he recovered.

Looking at the Dream Potion again, all the liquid inside had evaporated and been absorbed by him.

"Whoo~"

Lynch let out a breath.

That last hour was truly agonizing.

However, by persevering, he felt that his willpower had improved somewhat.

My tolerance for pain has also increased a little.

This shows that the Dream Potion is indeed effective.

You can continue taking it.

After recovering for a moment, he took another bottle of Guardian Elixir and then opened the Dream Potion again.

"Breathe~blow~"

Soon, the familiar pain resurfaced.

What awaited Lynch was another long period of suffering.

Although it was painful, he forced himself to endure it in order to strengthen his willpower.

Without a strong will, no one can endure the continuous pain.

After all, as one's cultivation level increases, one's physical attributes improve significantly, including physical strength, defense, and recovery ability.

There will basically be no pain.

It's not easy to experience what it's like to be plagued by various illnesses like an ordinary person.

However, many geniuses rise from the bottom.

His willpower, some of it can be eroded.

Some things only get stronger over time.

And Lynch is just like that.

The constant pain made him want to give up.

He is capable of giving up if necessary.

But a bottle of Dream Potion worth 500 million cultivation points was wasted just like that.

So in order not to waste it, he had no choice but to tough it out.

However, the effect of a single Dream Potion lasts for too short a time.

So he opened several bottles to absorb more of the fragrance, allowing it to last longer.

But in order to temper his will, he had to endure it.

The longer it went on, the more violently his body trembled.

[You absorbed the Dream Potion and experienced endless pain in the illusion, but you persevered, and your willpower was tempered!]

……

A message popped up on the panel, telling him that his willpower had indeed improved.

This affirmed his persistence.

A week later
"Whoo~"

Lin Qi, draped in a black robe, stopped trembling, opened his eyes, and his eyes radiated unimaginable exhaustion.

He looked at the silver metal box in front of him, which contained 50 bottles of Dream Potion, which had already been used.

He used it too hard at first. Although his willpower was strengthened, it was too painful.

He was also starting to feel the strain and needed to recover.

He chose to go back to the villa to rest.

……

One month.

"Hiss!!"

On the training ground, Lin Qi, dressed in a black robe, wielded a black Golden Thunder Spear, demonstrating his spear techniques.

The power of his inner energy surrounded his body, and his spiritual perception was released.

"As my willpower has increased, my control over my mental energy has also improved, and I have even become more resilient."

"This is a pleasant surprise."

Lin Qi was also thinking about it.

He could feel his willpower improving, his mental control rising to a new level, his perception becoming clearer, and he even underwent a transformation.

This can be considered a disguised way to increase combat power.

He has been relaxing for the past month.

So he would read books, practice his marksmanship, watch TV and movies on Earth, and even play virtual games.

Honestly, the virtual games are really well done.

If it weren't for his strong willpower, he really would have become addicted to it.

This is also what our teacher, Lei Zun, taught us.

After using up these medicinal resources, you will feel mentally and physically distressed, which will be detrimental to your subsequent cultivation. You need to learn to relax.

A balance between work and rest is essential.

Only in this way can willpower be steadily improved.

After a month of relaxation, he felt much better.

Other geniuses, on the other hand, may have more time to relax.

After a period of rigorous training, they need to relax for a long time, during which they may go back to comprehend the laws.

Because they would rather comprehend the power of laws than improve their willpower.

Therefore, it generally takes a lot of time to cross the Dream Bridge.

It takes an average of 2000 years to complete the game, which means that some legendary geniuses have taken more than 2000 years.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, Lin Qi thrust out his spear, causing space to explode and revealing numerous black spatial rifts.

Lynch felt the power within.

He put away his spear and sat down again.

Two metal boxes were retrieved from the Source Core World. Inside were Guardian Liquid and Nightmare Crystal. The Nightmare Crystal was a black crystal that shimmered with light and exuded an ominous aura.

Nightmare Crystals and Dream Potions have many similarities.

They are all used to temper one's willpower.

The Level 5 quest, the Dream Maze Secret Realm, contains many local specialties.

One of them is the Dream Crystal, which can be used to enhance mental power.

It is a rare treasure.

It can be compared to the Firefly Soul Potion.

Many geniuses choose to venture into secret realms to collect the dream crystals within, which they then sell to holy sites to earn cultivation points.

This is similar to the Abyss Secret Realm, but it is not as dangerous.

The Dream Potion is made by combining Dream Crystals with other rare and precious materials.

Nightmare Crystals are even more precious than Dream Crystals.

Extremely rare.

This can be seen from the fact that he sold 1000 million cultivation points.

His next step was to use the Nightmare Crystal for cultivation.

The Dream Crystal causes the most intense pain to the absorber.

This is physical pain, which can temper one's will.

Nightmare crystals, on the other hand, represent mental anguish, causing the absorber to experience different despairing and oppressive environments, allowing them to feel it.

Temper your will in a desperate environment.

According to the records in Teacher Lei Zun's documents.

During the use of Nightmare Crystals, it is necessary to consume more Guardian Elixir.

Even though it is an illusion, becoming too engrossed in it may lead to the shattering of one's Dao heart.

In the end, instead of tempering one's will, it may even lead to the person becoming useless.

Taking several bottles of the Guardian Elixir may enhance its effects.

It can protect one's consciousness and prevent them from becoming completely absorbed in it.

Although Lynch felt he wouldn't do that.

But just in case, he took out 10 bottles of Dream Potion and drank them all in one go.

"Gulu~"

After taking it, he clearly felt waves of warmth rushing into his consciousness.

Without the slightest hesitation, he mobilized his mental power and merged it into the Nightmare Crystal like tentacles.

"Buzz!!"

The black nightmare crystal shone brightly, floated up, and finally merged into the opponent's head.

The next instant, black light enveloped him as he moved his body.

An invisible illusion enveloped him, compelling him to manipulate his body and consciousness.

The illusion created by the Nightmare Crystal might last for quite some time, and he was mentally prepared for that.

In his perception, everything around him began to change.

He was plunged into darkness, and he knew the illusion was about to begin.

"Brother Qi!"

Lin Qi heard familiar voices and the sounds of discussion.

He opened his eyes and saw a familiar face in front of him.

With dark skin and a youthful face, it was Jiang Tao.

"Taozi!"

He looked at Jiang Tao in front of him, who seemed completely unfamiliar and was even wearing the school uniform of Tianhai No. 2 Middle School.

Not only him, but he was also wearing a school uniform, and his power had disappeared, returning him to his previous shrunken state.

He looked around and found himself inside a large European transport ship.

The people sitting nearby were all familiar faces, students from the elite class of Tianhai No. 2 Middle School.

Yu Jing, Li Zhou, Qi Yuelin...

They were all elite geniuses, and not only that, there were students from other classes as well; it felt like the entire senior year of high school was there.

Even teachers were among them, roughly estimated to be several thousand people.

Now they are all gathered together, but their faces are filled with fear, anxiety, and despair.

Jiang Tao said with a mournful face:
"Brother Qi, we're doomed."

"We've been captured and taken to another planet to participate in a devil's trial."

Lin Qi looked puzzled after hearing this and then asked a question.

He began to integrate into his environment.

However, he still retains his memories and understands that he is only in an illusion and has not fully integrated into it.

So he started asking Jiang Tao what was going on.

Although Jiang Tao was puzzled, he still answered honestly, assuming that Brother Qi was thinking.

According to Jiang Tao, they had just entered the elite class.

They were then informed that their planet, Blue Star, had been occupied by a powerful being from the universe—the Corrupted Ghost King.

Their planet, Blue Star, was discovered by the passing Corrupt Ghost King in the universe, and they immediately became his property.

Now, all the humans on this planet, including those on the Trial Planet, belong to the Corrupted Ghost King.

They were all captured by the forces of the Corrupt Ghost King and transported to the Trial Planet.

It served as the venue for the devil's trials.

At the same time, they will escort people from other planets to the trial planet.

Now everyone has a chip implanted in their body, and their life and death are no longer under their own control.

They were the slaves of the King of Living Beings.

"A devil's trial?"

Lin Qi frowned upon hearing this; the trial sounded extremely bloody.

They are all at the level of just entering the elite class.

If your health and mana are below 10.0, you're guaranteed to die if you get involved.

"Boom!!"

Then a light appeared.

The transport spaceship's hatch opened, and a gigantic man, four meters tall, clad in armor, with a burly physique and a ferocious face, walked in and said:
"Everyone disembark from the spaceship."

“Those who are slow will be executed immediately.”

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

They quickly stepped off the spaceship, only to be met with three times the gravity of the trial planet, making everyone feel the weight of their bodies.

Lin Qi looked around and saw countless spaceships all around him, from which countless Earthlings emerged.

"what!!"

The cries of babies and children could be heard.

"How to do?"

"What exactly is the devil's trial?"

"Mom, I want to leave, I feel so bad!"

Some children felt uncomfortable; three times the gravity would be uncomfortable even for adults, let alone children.

Especially for infants, without help, they will surely die.

All their faces were filled with worry about the future.

The air was thick with despair. How were they going to get through this?
And no one could escape, because of the high-tech spaceships in the surrounding universe, and a large number of the Corrupt Ghost King's minions.

After a simple perception, Lin Qi was able to determine the other party's level of cultivation.

The weakest among them are beings at the second level of the universe. Those with less than 10 points of Qi and Blood are simply no match for them.

In a short while, the entire primeval forest was filled with people from Tianhai City.

Moreover, billions of people from other places, other cities, and even countries are scattered throughout the entire trial planet.

The trial planet is 1500 times larger than Earth, and for Earthlings to enter it is just a drop in the ocean.

"Everyone!"

Soon after, a burly figure appeared in the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.

The sheer power he exuded was enough to make many people tremble.

He had blood-red skin and bloodthirsty red eyes. He looked down at everyone and sneered:
"Listen up, everyone on Earth!"

He was speaking a universal language that no one else could understand, but Lynch could.

But then a huge screen was projected, translating the man's words.

"This year's trial of hell involves more than 2000 billion people."

"And of you, only 1 million will survive in the end."
