Nightmare Light

Chapter 94 Improving Strength
In the pure white space of the giant tree, there was no wind at high altitude.

The giant tree, which had been dead for who knows how many years, was silent and dead, with countless lifeless branches scattered together, forming a dead and withered forest.

suddenly!

A series of "cracking" sounds rang out, and with this sound, hundreds of branches suddenly stretched out and turned green. Along with the changes in these branches, old leaves turned green and new leaves grew. Golden-green fruits also grew on many branches.

In the lowest part of the giant tree's crown, almost 70% of the branches have turned tender green.

Looking from the ground, people seemed to see that the whole tree was like a giant who had just woken up, trembling, stretching its limbs, and stretching its body.

And as it stretched, this giant creature that stretched from sky to earth seemed to come alive.

Although from the perspective of the entire tree, the number of branches that turned green was extremely limited, but from the ground, to the perspective of all the Mist Clan members, it seemed as if the entire sky had turned green.

"This... is a miracle!" A member of the Mist Tribe shouted in surprise.

"What is the identity of the benefactor?"

"Don't speculate."

"Um……"

Wu Yue stood under the tree, looking up at the sky, her mouth wide open: "Wow... was this made by my brother and uncle? That's amazing!"

There was an old man from the Wu tribe beside the tree, holding a wooden axe. He turned his head and looked at Wu Yue with a serious face: "Wu Yue! This shows that your benefactor is very happy about your homework! His tree is also very happy!"

"what?"

An old man beside him nodded: "In that case, I think it is necessary to let May do more homework..."

"Ah! No!"

Under the sacred Alsophila tree, the little girl's crying, like a sacred chant, could be heard from far away.

……

"What the hell? This crow's energy is so outrageous?"

Standing in mid-air, Lin Wang looked at the green around him with a look of surprise.

The false god of the Divine Blood Cult had incredible power, but it could only "light up" a leaf.

Now, if the crow shivers casually, hundreds of branches will turn green.

"The gap between a false god and a true god is quite large... Those lunatics of the Divine Blood Cult... actually thought they had the ability to create a true god... How pitiful."

Lin Wang shook his head and sympathized with the cultists for a while.

He collected his emotions and lingered his gaze on the fruits for a moment.

He remembered that when the first fruit opened, he gained the ability of "burial".

Will these new fruits...give me more abilities?
With such thoughts in mind, he directed his mental strength towards the second fruit.

[Optional new ability, 98% ancestral ability]

[You can also choose to enhance existing abilities: Burial System]

Lin Wang looked at the two lines of words and didn't rush to make a choice.

He looked around at the other fruits.

Basically, it's the same situation: you can choose the ancestral system, or you can enhance the burial system's abilities.

"Server, why is it 98%?"

[Inquiry in progress...Another 2%...Unidentified forces with incomplete information]

"Incomplete information?" Lin Wang was stunned for a moment. "Is there something you don't know?"

[We apologize for causing you such confusion.]

Lin Wang shook his head and did not argue with the AI. He just silently wrote down the "two percent" matter.

This matter...I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Then my choice is to improve my burial ability."

[After calculating the servo function, it is determined that the ancestral system will provide greater benefits. Are you sure about this choice?]

"Sure." Lin Wang said without hesitation.

“It is always more practical to specialize in one thing than to spread your talents too thinly.”

[Servo function cleared, strength enhancement begins.] The next second, purified burial energy surged into Lin Wang's body like a river.

He groaned, and his face was covered with corpse spots again. At the same time, a dark breath came out of his mouth.

Around Lin Wang's body, more than a dozen coffins appeared out of thin air, mournful cries rang out in the air, and the dark soil of the grave swirled around him.

After about ten seconds, the strange phenomena around him disappeared, and a lot of burial knowledge appeared in Lin Wang's mind.

Mass burial techniques, coffin burial techniques...

The classification of secular teachers in the mortal stage...

"There are three levels of mortals... mortal, strong, and noble..."

"Newcomers start out at the mortal level, then reach the powerful level after promotion... Mid-level officers in major secular organizations, as well as mid-level priests in the temples, are generally at this level... Old Zhou was at this level before..."

"It takes a normal lay master about seven or eight years to reach that level... Even a lay master with exceptional talent would need four or five years..."

"I've already reached the strong level? In less than a month?"

Lin Wang glanced at the other fruits, thought for a moment, and suppressed his desire to absorb other fruits.

He is a person with strong self-control - when he was in school, Lin Wang could save money to buy a game console by saving breakfast every day.

And in this process, he will never be tempted by breakfast on any one day and ruin his goal.

Now, he controlled himself and did not absorb more fruit.

Lin Wang’s consistent view is: becoming stronger is not about simply piling up strength, but about actually mastering these skills.

Now that he has new skills and new items, he plans to familiarize himself with them for a while before absorbing the power of other fruits.

"Never become an upstart with nothing but power."

After sorting out the props and settling the Mist Clan members, he improved his strength.

After finishing all these trivial matters, Lin Wang felt refreshed.

"Okay, we're done. Go back and have a good rest for two days. After that..."

"I want to investigate my background."

Lin Wang had already thought about this matter: as he gained a deeper understanding of this world, more and more strange secrets of the northerners' bodies were gradually revealed.

His intuition told him: There must be a conspiracy behind these secrets.

Or more than one.

After considering the next plan, Lin Wang landed on the ground from mid-air.

When he landed on the ground, the corpse spots on his face, the black air in his mouth, and the rotten soil around his body had completely disappeared.

When he landed on the ground, the surrounding Mist Tribe villagers gathered towards him, all with expressions of awe on their faces.

Recalling the huge commotion when the tree also turned green before... Lin Wang was not surprised to see the villagers' reaction now.

However, Lin Wang was a little confused about what they said next.

The villagers gathered around Lin Wang with nervousness, admiration, and even a little humility on their faces.

"Um... that's right, benefactor."

"Huh?" Lin Wang was a little surprised by their reaction.

"Don't worry! We will definitely get it done!" several members of the Mist Tribe said loudly.

"Oh, okay." Lin Wang thought they were talking about farming and nodded.

But Lin Wang originally planned to plant crops in the land around the tree, so he had his own ideas.

It’s a good thing that these villagers want to plant, but it’s best not to deviate too much from his ideas.

So he naturally asked, "What are your specific plans?"

"We plan to have her memorize five more texts and do ten more tests every day!"

"……what?"

Not far behind the crowd, the clear cry sounded again.

　I overestimated my energy... I'm too tired. I've only finished this chapter and will post it first. I'll get up tomorrow morning to write the second chapter.
