Ling Cage: Starting with Sharingan, Vatican seeks to breed.

Lin Yuan's expression shifted, and he immediately dodged.

He's not some weakling like 4068; the speed boost from 200 points of Life Essence is no joke.

"Quite agile?"

The two priests were taken aback and tried to grab him, but he dodged them.

"You dare to hide, kid?"

One of the priests was enraged and wanted to whip someone with an iron whip.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps made the two priests stop instinctively.

Ta, ta, ta...

The Radiant One, Vatican, walked over in high heels, swaying her hips and highlighting her graceful curves with each step.

Wow, it's really beautiful. It would be even better if it wasn't for me.

While Lin Yuan enjoyed the feast for his eyes, he felt somewhat helpless.

In the nick of time, he lunged forward to grab Penny's gun in the blink of an eye because of the critical situation.

There was no time to consider anything else.

The Lightbringer Vatican said indifferently, "Useless. Can't even catch a mere mortal."

The priest bowed his head immediately: "Yes, Your Excellency, Lord Light!"

Sharif grabbed 4068's head with one hand, dragged him to Vatican's side, and slammed him to the ground.

The priest looked at Vatican, the Lightbearer:

“Lord He Guangzhe, these two mortals are unrepentant, especially this brat, who actually dared to arrest them. Why not take them to the law enforcement office and discipline them properly?”

Vatican did not answer, but simply uttered two words: "Make your move."

Shalifu immediately walked towards Lin Yuan, intending to make the arrest.

Mark stood between them, followed by Ran Bingmo and a group of other hunters.

Then Erica, Flying Snow...

Jimmy, who had been saved by Lin Yuan, also gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Mark smiled faintly, "This kid was just trying to save someone. If it weren't for him, I would have lost another teammate. I hope Lord Lightbringer will forgive him and let him off the hook."

Vatican said coldly, "Saving people is a fact, but violating the Lighthouse Law is also a fact. Moreover, Dust People have no obligation to save people. Captain Mark, are you going to disregard the Lighthouse Law?"

Captain Mark narrowed his eyes, standing protectively in front of Lin Yuan without yielding, "The fundamental purpose of implementing the law is to ensure the better survival of the Lighthouse. Even if the city lord knew about this, I believe he would make an exception."

Captain Mark emphasized the word "city lord" when he said it.

I call you Lord He Guangzhe, and you really think you're something special?

Lin Yuan saved Penny twice, and even if it came to the city lord, he would absolutely not let anything happen to Lin Yuan.

The Radiant One frowned beneath his mask, understanding his meaning.

I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What exactly did 4077 do to make Mark and the other hunters protect him so much?

Moreover, how could a commoner with no training possess such skills?

With both sides locked in a standoff, the atmosphere became even more tense.

"Don't forget, everyone, you were able to bring back the supplies safely thanks to the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow, and the blessings of the Guild Leader!"

The blessing official, Buli, stepped forward and said with a cold snort.

He had endured these ungrateful hunters for a long time.

A nameless rage suddenly welled up in Mo Cheng's heart, and his fists hardened.

Damn it, how many brothers died to risk our lives to bring back the supplies, and now we have to thank the Lord of Light and Shadow?

Mark subtly pulled him back, looking at the Lightbringer, Vatican:

"Go back and tell the head of the association that both of these boys already know his teachings."

"Moreover, 4077 made a great contribution in this mission and brought back important information, which is even related to the future of the Lighthouse."

"If something goes wrong... I'm afraid you won't be able to take the responsibility."

Although his tone was calm, his words carried a threatening undertone.

The Lightbringer Vatican looked at 4068 and Lin Yuan with great interest, seemingly wondering if they had truly remembered the teachings.

4068 avoided eye contact, his eyes showing resignation.

Fandi then looked at Lin Yuan.

"I have remembered the teachings of the head of the association. I can never repay the head of the association's kindness."

Lin Yuan remained calm, but he couldn't help feeling a surge of anger inside.

After coming into this world, he experienced firsthand the cruelty of the lighthouse.

If it weren't for Mark's intervention, I probably would have really gotten whipped.

Being punished for saving someone? What kind of utter nonsense is this?!

And this Lightbringer Vatican, sooner or later he'll drag you into the Hall of Dawn for a good "education".

Vatican withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

"What you should remember is the teachings of the Lord of Light and Shadow, and you can never repay the kindness of the Lord of Light and Shadow. It was also the Lord of Light and Shadow who saved the hunters."

“Yes, yes, yes, the teachings of the Lord of Light and Shadow.” Mark’s tone was somewhat sarcastic and dissatisfied. “I hope he can bless us so that fewer brothers die next time.”

"Hmph, that depends on how devout your prayers are."

The Lightbringer Vatican chuckled dismissively, completely unconcerned about Mark's dissatisfaction.

She glanced at Lin Yuan again.

“Since it concerns the lighthouse, then we’ll hold off on the twelve lashes of 4077 for now.”

"let's go."

The Lightbringer led a group of priests away.

Chapter 11 New Potential, Kinetic Enhancement

Lin Yuan watched the departing figure of the Light-Bearer, frowned slightly, and pondered silently.

Wow... Putting everything else aside, her figure is absolutely stunning.

I wonder what's underneath the mask.

Uh, no, that's not the point.

The key point is the temporarily retained twelve lashes.

If you just cancel it directly, that's fine, but what's the point of temporarily storing it?

I'll remember this grudge.

"4077, don't worry. If those unreasonable guys dare to come after you again, we'll stand up for you!"

Erica came over to comfort Lin Yuan, and even waved her little fist as she spoke.

Mark nodded: "I'll consult with the city lord in a bit, then you won't have to worry about this punishment."

"As for getting you to join the Hunters, I will do my best to make it happen."

Lin Yuan's heart stirred as he remembered that Mark was going to attend the court council.

Next, the old city lord will announce that Mark will succeed him as city lord.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately smiled and said:

"I believe Captain Mark can do it, and maybe he'll even get a promotion and a raise."

"A promotion and a raise?"

Mark paused for a moment upon hearing the word, then patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and laughed:

"I've already become the commander of the hunters, so how can I expect a promotion and a raise? But I'll still take your good wishes."

On the other side, 4068 was helped up by his two friends. He looked at himself and saw that he was covered in injuries.

He glanced at Lin Yuan again; not only was he unharmed, but he was also chatting and laughing among a group of hunters.

He felt even worse.

We're both ordinary people, and I saved someone too, so why is there such a big difference in treatment?

However, when he thought of Lin Yuan's terrifying marksmanship and extraordinary skills, he immediately felt somewhat discouraged.

Based on this alone, he admitted that he was indeed inferior to Lin Yuan.

Eh......

I've really embarrassed myself today.

4068 was somewhat frustrated, and for a moment even the anger in his heart subsided, plunging him into deep self-doubt.

When girl 4277 saw 4068 with his head down and not saying anything, she thought his injuries were too serious.

"Honestly, I told you not to be so brave. Look at you now, you've been beaten so badly you can't even speak. Bear with it, we'll take you back to get some medicine."

The two men helped 4068 away.

.........

The lighthouse's residential area for the dusty people consists of a series of suspended buildings, which the dusty people jokingly refer to as pigeon coops.

Lin Yuan returned to his room and plopped down on the bed, making a creaking sound.

Feeling the hard texture of the bed frame, I couldn't help but sigh.

This is really no place for a human to live.

However, the matter of joining the Hunter Squad is still far from being settled, so for now, we can only make do and stay here for the time being.

Lin Yuan silently communicated with the system in his mind and opened the panel.

[Life Essence]: 200 points

[Potential Evolution]: Eyes (Sharingan)

[Energy Points]: 326 points (can be activated)

Come on, system, let me see where your limits are!

Looking at the panel, Lin Yuan felt a surge of excitement.

Based on the information I gathered upon my return.

2980, who slept in the bunk above him, died in the last mission.

That means I'm all alone here.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about any abnormalities caused by adding points being discovered.

[Prompt: You can currently consume 200 Source Energy Points to evolve your Sharingan. Evolve now?]

Lin Yuan silently recited it in his heart.

The next second, a pain shot through his eyes, and he unconsciously activated his Sharingan.

Lin Yuan groaned in pain, covered his eyes, and curled up on the bed, his expression somewhat ferocious.

The muscles tear and rebuild once again, constantly being strengthened.

The pain gradually subsided after about half an hour.

[Evolution successful! The Sharingan has evolved into: Two Tomoe!]

It's finally over, and it hurt much more than the first time.

Lin Yuan let out a long breath and opened the panel.

[Life Essence]: 400 points
