Chapter 123, The Side Effects of the Curse, Suspected Alliance Arrangement

A small courtyard building.

Lin Ran couldn't help but smile. Her skill, which had evolved twice, was approaching the realm of "rules".

Perfect things are almost nonexistent, and this skill effect cannot be dodged.

If the nine gates are fully open, activate the Gundam LV10 Weakness Critical Strike.

Lin Ran could hardly imagine that kind of power; she just didn't know if her physical body could withstand it.

However, he possesses the Four Pillars of Yuanfa - Earth, so even if he can't sustain it, as long as he remains in contact with the earth, he can continuously absorb the earth's power to offset the side effects.

Lin Ran stretched out her body, glanced at the empty storage ring, and felt no regret.

It would be a real shame if unused resources caused problems later on.

Lin Ran stroked her chin and headed towards the circular plaza.

……

Circular plaza.

The two church-shaped buildings still stand, the heritage has not yet been acquired, and the alien races blocking the way are still a dark mass, with almost no human figures in sight.

But the atmosphere was somewhat somber at this moment.

After watching for a while, Lin Ran realized that the people receiving the inheritance were a group of people who had been eliminated.

They took turns undergoing trials, using repeated failures to buy time.

Lin Ran looked around and activated his Truth Eye Technique, immediately seeing the array patterns around the plaza.

In addition to simple spiritual energy arrays, there are also energy patterns created using technological means.

Some of the energy patterns looked familiar, originating from the shield generator.

Lin Ran frowned, wondering whether these patterns were stolen by the alien race or sold off.

The formation is currently only about one-third complete, and it may take more than a month to finish.

The alien race wanted to buy time, which was perfect for him to buy time for his team. Once everyone reached the Divine Fire Realm, the outcome would be uncertain.

There's no need to stop the formation from being set up. Once the core inheritance is taken, the human race will build a city here, and the formation will serve as the core of the city's operation and the foundation for guiding the human race's Heavenly Dao.

The traps that the alien races are currently setting up are actually a benefit prepared for humanity.

After observing for a long time.

Lin Ran left quietly, without disturbing the hardworking little bees.

After leaving the circular plaza, Lin Ran changed her demeanor and strolled leisurely through the streets.

Not all of the alien races are pro-war; just as there are many among the human race who advocate for the coexistence of all races.

This group of people and the other races came together and occupied several streets in Bafang City, forming a large trading area.

They also invited six mid-stage fourth-tier beings to oversee the area, which made the trading zone very peaceful, at least on the surface.

Lin Ran wandered around for a while, using the Truth Eye Technique to snag a few bargains.

However, there aren't many good items; they're mostly useful to Awakened Ones. He's now at the Divine Fire Realm, so he doesn't need them anymore.

Looking back.

Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh. It seemed like only a year had passed since she started cultivating, yet so many things had happened, as if more than a decade had gone by.

Suddenly, the cursed mark on his chest began to cause side effects; Zhou Yu was testing a new method.

Just as Lin Ran was about to seal it, it suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a petite figure ran out from a dark alley, "precisely" weaving through the crowd and embracing Lin Ran directly.

Lin Ran: ...

This side effect is taking effect a bit too quickly.

Lin Ran lifted the figure and noticed that her eyes were emerald green, but her hair was black.

The Truth Eye Technique was activated, revealing the little girl's identity: a half-elf, half-human. She wasn't in good condition, but she possessed some elven racial characteristics, making her not so easy to kill.

Some more creatures rushed out of the alley, spreading their auras without restraint, leaving a large empty space on the street.

A group of fallen elves, led by two pure-blooded elves, came in pursuit.

The little girl being carried trembled, her eyes filled with deep fear, and she instinctively tried to hug Lin Ran.

A pure-blooded elf stopped the fallen elves from surrounding her. It could tell that Lin Ran was disguised, and after observing her aura, it recognized her as Lin Ran.

The elf stepped forward and bowed to Lin Ran.

"Mr. Lin, could you give this man to me? I'm willing to offer him a batch of resources."

"Her? Although she is not a pure-blooded human, she does have human blood."

Lin Ran shook the little girl and said

The elf's face darkened: "Mr. Lin, this matter is of utmost importance. This person is a hybrid offspring of the elven royal bloodline and a human. The elven race will not tolerate anyone who tarnishes the royal bloodline."

"Oh, and then?"

Lin Ran calmly looked at the elf, then lifted the little girl in front of her again.

With the Truth Eye Technique activated at full power, everything about the opponent was revealed before his eyes.

The little girl's veins flow with the natural spiritual energy of the elves, a lower-level branch of the attribute resulting from the fusion of water and earth.

The vascular network is also different from that of normal humans, resembling layers of a network that wraps around a central cluster of bluish-green light.

This is an extremely complex aura model. Even with the Truth Eye fully activated and the spiritual flame burning at full power, all that can be seen is that it is an aura model with healing effects.

In conclusion, this little girl is special, aside from the side effects of the curse.

Lin Ran suspected it might be Lin again, or an arrangement by the Alliance.

Although he hasn't been in contact with officials yet, officials are actually everywhere. Most of his actions are reported to higher authorities, and then some things are arranged quietly.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, the elf's expression immediately darkened. Without uttering any further words, he raised his hand.

A dozen or so fallen elves attacked Lin Ran at the same time.

however……

choke!

A soft sword rang out, and countless blood-red threads swept across the surroundings, passing over the body of the fallen elf.

Their speed decreased, and after landing, bloodstains appeared on their bodies, their muscle tissue ruptured, and they shattered into pieces on the ground.

And another pure-blooded elf, without even realizing it, was sliced ​​into pieces by sword energy that had transformed into threads.

The only remaining pure-blooded elf narrowed its eyes, its pupils trembling.

The last time I received news, Lin Ran only had the combat strength of the third rank, but now the aura he is showing is that of the fourth rank!

"I apologize for my rudeness. Mr. Lin, how could you possibly spare my life?"

The pure-blooded elf immediately backed down, kneeling on the ground with a thud and slamming his forehead against the ground.

Lin Ran: ...

Are you really a pure-blooded elf?

"What's her situation?"

"The royal family of pure-blooded elves, through an unknown opportunity, gave birth to an ability that can replenish one's origin."

"Replenish the origin? That's it?"

Lin Ran was puzzled. What was there to make such a fuss about?

When he practices his skills, if he is injured, he will first repair his injuries and only start gaining experience after he has fully recovered.

He was only injured a few times, so he rarely paid attention to it.

Pureblood Elf: ...

Do you have some misunderstanding about the origin?

Its instinct was to refute, but then it suddenly remembered that Lin Ran was the disciple of the person who single-handedly killed the Mother Realm and slaughtered an entire clan.

That's fine.

"Mr. Lin, please allow me to explain."

"The repair of the origin is..."
