Please be my partner.

"Woof!~"

Spike roared, then turned into a torrent of blood and rushed into Mellen's body.

At this moment, an abnormal wave echoed in the blood-colored area. Affected by this, the blood-colored monsters that only knew how to fight and kill stopped their movements at the same time and looked blankly in the direction of Mellen.

They don't know why they do this, just as they don't know why they fight endlessly.

The blood light that enveloped Mellen gradually faded, leaving only a few strands of it surrounding him, making him look like a demon who had returned from endless killing.

Melen felt the killing will within his body resonate with the entire blood-red area, and said softly, "I see. It seems that no further soul synchronization is needed."

As Mellen raised his hand slightly, under the influence of murderous fighting spirit, the blood-colored energy in the entire blood-colored area was under his control.

In the void, large amounts of blood-colored energy surged and gathered from the blood-colored monster like a tide and waves.

Raise your hand and clench it suddenly!

In the confused, puzzled and desperate eyes of the Underworld Spider, the blood-colored energy flooded past.

Regardless of whether they were ordinary, legendary, or peak legendary, all the Hades Spiders lost their voices in the wave of blood-colored energy. Their bodies were intact, but their spirits had been completely destroyed by the power of killing.

The Corrupted Dog cheered and transformed into a large cloud of colorful mist that enveloped the Underworld Spider and began to feast on it happily.

"Huh!~"

Mellen exhaled, releasing the soul synchronization state with Spike.

Spike returned directly to the fairy tale kingdom. His spirit had reached its limit, and he was supported by his belief. Naturally, he needed a good rest at this time.

Below, the friends watched the whole process in amazement, their heads filled with countless question marks.

Yin Re said hesitantly: "That was a saint?!"

Vic looked around, carefully examining the bloody area, and shook his head, saying, "It shouldn't be, but..."

Even with a sore eye, Xin Ke still used his full strength to activate the Eye of Delusion. He said, "He's not a Saint, but only partially Sainted. And it's likely that this power can only be exerted within this area. It's like this blood-red area has temporarily become the domain of Melen... or his pet, which is why he can achieve this level."

Relying on the Eye of Truth, Xin Ke has already seen through most of the truth.

After understanding Spike's current strength, Mellen's original plan was to rely on the power of second or even third soul synchronization to kill the pursuing Hades Spider in one fell swoop, or at least severely injure it.

However, based on the characteristics of soul synchronization, when Mellen soul synchronizes with Spike, he can actually exert twice the strength of the dog.

Spike had already reached the peak of legend. After doubling his level, he partially broke through this ceiling and vaguely touched another level.

Coupled with the murderous will to fight, under the influence of a higher level of power, the bloody area was completely dominated by this force, as if it had become Spike's domain, able to fully mobilize the power of the entire area.

Both the power and the domain have reached the level of a saint. Although these two aspects are a scaled-down youth version, it is feasible to regard Mellen in this state as a small saint.

Under the power of the saint, legends are nothing but ants. Moreover, this power of the saint calls upon the power of the entire blood-colored area and will not trigger the tide of rules and cause it to come early.

Looking at Melen walking slowly, these friends all had complicated expressions. Even though they knew that Melen's power could only be used in the bloody area, it was enough to shock them.

Well, he is a saint after all!

Vic said, "Mellen, I guessed that you had an amazing background, but I didn't expect you to be able to use such means."

As he spoke, the somewhat stagnant atmosphere was broken. Xin Ke said with a smile: "Yes, yes! Melen, you really are a hidden talent."

After chatting for a while, Melen said, "Well, now is not the time to relax. Let's leave the Broken Land first."

The group moved on.

Perhaps because the five peak legends and a large number of legends buried in the bloody area were already the main force of the Hades Spiders, they did not encounter too much obstacles in their subsequent journey. There were only a large number of Hades Spiders hidden in the highly toxic area, but they were just some rotten fish and shrimps, and were easily swept away by them.

After avoiding the gray area that could distort time, everyone left the Broken Land through the forest area they initially entered.

After arriving in the outside world, Melen looked back at the gorgeous and dazzling broken land, and vaguely felt that the full moon confronting the thunder at the highest point of the central mountain seemed to be a little dimmer. This might be because he took away the full moon semi-artifact.

He shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it. They were not completely safe yet. The Hades Spider had set up many traps outside the Broken Land.

However, they had good luck afterwards and traveled for a whole day without being attacked by the Hades Spiders again.

Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Vic laughed and said, "It seems that the Nether Spiders in the Crimson Area were wiped out too quickly. They didn't have time to spread the news, which saved us a lot of trouble."

Then, he turned his gaze to Yin Re and Rooney and said, "We are going back to Tianfeng Territory next. What are your plans? Do you want to visit us?"

Yin Re seemed a little tempted, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said regretfully: "Sorry, too many things happened in the Broken Land. I have to go back to the tribe to report first. I can only go to Tianfeng Territory next time."

Vic nodded in understanding.

Rooney said: "I also want to return to the tribe."

Then, he looked at Mellen, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You seem to like pets that look like dogs?"

Mellen nodded.

Rooney said: "I know a strange creature that looks like a dog. It seems to be an individual, but also seems to be a group. Maybe it meets your requirements."

"Oh?" Melen immediately showed interest and asked, "What kind of life is it, and where is it located?"

Rooney said, "There's a Chaos Desert not far from my tribe. It often wanders there, but its strength is at least at the peak of Legend, perhaps even a Saint. After I return this time, I'll prepare for the promotion to Saint, which will only take a year or two at most. If you're interested, I'll contact you then, and we can go to the Chaos Desert together."

"Okay!" Mellen naturally agreed.

Vic and the others were a little envious. They envied Rooney for preparing to be promoted to a saint, even specifying the time to within one or two years. It was obvious that he was very confident of success. They also envied Mellen for being invited by Rooney, especially since this invitation came after Rooney was promoted to a saint. It was obvious that Rooney valued Mellen's performance, so he deliberately made friends with him.

After exchanging contact information, Yin Re and Rooney left one after another.

The rest of the journey was still peaceful. Melen and his companions returned to Tianfeng Territory through the teleportation array of the Blue Crystal Clan's stronghold.

There was no scene of brothers turning against each other or killing people to steal treasures. They quickly returned to Vic's villa and then went back to their rooms to rest.

By the time they gathered again, most of the fatigue from the adventures and battles had dissipated, and it was time to divide the spoils.

In the living room, all the servants had been driven out and a powerful protective shield was set up. They began to collect and take out their belongings, and soon the entire living room was filled with all kinds of precious treasures.

When Melen took out a thunder essence and a thunder crystal the size of an adult's head, Vic and Xinko were stunned.

Xinke's eyes lit up and he wanted to hug Mellen and kiss her a few times, but Mellen pushed him away with a look of disgust.

Vic said, "Sure enough, I was right."

He looked at Mellen and asked, "It seems that you and Rooney have both reached the second level of the Thunder Pool. He should have also obtained the Thunder Essence and is preparing to evolve into a Storm Giant. That's why he is so confident in his promotion to Saint."

As one of the former overlords of the spiritual world, Storm Giants are inherently very powerful, and it is far easier for them to be promoted to Saints than other races.

Rooney already had a strong accumulation of legendary rank. After evolving into a storm giant, with the help of his tribe, it was almost certain that he would become a saint.

Vic looked at the Thunder Essence, his heart was filled with excitement. Although he was just guessing, when Mellen really took out the Thunder Essence, he couldn't hide his excitement. Moreover, Vic understood that since Mellen did this, he wanted to give the Thunder Essence to him. After all, he had a first choice, although according to their current relationship, the so-called first choice was just a joke.

As for whether Mellen had any thunder essence left besides the one he took out, or even how much benefit he got from the second-level thunder pool, Vic had no intention of finding out.

Vic was certainly not a saint without desires, but he vaguely felt that the friendship of his companions like Mellen might be the greatest gain of this adventure.

Melen looked at the two excited people and smiled slightly. It was easy to understand Xinko's side. Such a huge thunder crystal, with the thunder rules contained in it, would probably make even a saint excited when seeing it. It would definitely be a huge help to his Eye of Truth.

Vic's side is a bit confusing. The Blue Crystal Clan focuses on spiritual cultivation, which has nothing to do with the essence of thunder.

However, it seems that the main goal of Vic's exploration of the Broken Land from the beginning was the Thunder Essence.

Mellen had no intention of delving into this matter, believing that he would know the answer as time went by.

Chapter 283 Transactions and High-Dimensional Knowledge

After the excitement, Vic gradually calmed down. He now needed to face a very realistic problem, that is, all the gains from this adventure, after converting his contributions, were not enough to exchange for the Thunder Essence, a treasure that even saints would covet.

Fortunately, he had been preparing for this adventure for a long time and had considered this issue from the very beginning, so he came up with the rule that insufficient contribution could be compensated with one's own property.

Soon, the rest of the harvest in the Broken Land was distributed, and everyone was very satisfied. As for whether there was a little more or a little less, it didn't really matter.

Finally, everyone's eyes were on the Thunder Essence and Thunder Crystal that Mellen took out.

After a brief pause, Vic said, "I need Thunder Essence. I hope to exchange it for other treasures..."

As he spoke, he took out precious treasures one by one, all of which he had accumulated over the years or gained through adventures.

Mellen was very interested in the various treasures that Vic took out. He also saw the strange shadow stone among them.

Vic continued, "You can choose from these treasures. If the treasures you choose are still not enough to exchange for Thunder Essence, you can give me a list of the treasures you need. I will use the power of the Blue Crystal Clan to help you collect them."

Hearing this, Mellen's heart moved. After thinking about it, he chose two items from the treasures that Vic took out, namely the ghost shadow stone and the heart of the fire element.

This Heart of Fire Element is actually the core of the Fire Element Law, and is used to upgrade the element pool of the Giant God Fortress.

According to the design drawings of the Giant Fortress in Mellen's hands, this powerful weapon of war still has a lot of room for improvement.

Now the Giant Fortress built by Melen is still parked at the space-time rift, mainly because the fortifications in the space-time rift were not completed before. In order to avoid any unexpected problems, he let the Giant Fortress guard there first.

After returning this time, the Targon Fortress can basically be retired and can be swallowed by Garuru.

Of course, the fairy tale mechanical forces in the Blue and Green Realm will also begin to build a new Giant Fortress, but the one they will build will be the lowest-spec version.

Naturally, these two items could not offset the value of the Thunder Essence. Melen also pushed out the portion of the harvest allocated to him in the Broken Land and said, "For the rest, including these, I hope to use the power of the Blue Crystal Clan to help me exchange them for the resources I need."

As he spoke, a wisp of dream power appeared in Mellen's hand, condensing into a list and handed to Vic. In addition to the resources needed to upgrade the Giant God Fortress, the list also recorded extraordinary bloodlines, various professional inheritances, etc.

In addition to this, Mellen also specially included tickets to the Angler's Land.

The ticket to the Fisherman's Realm is not actually that precious, but it is too rare. Melen needs it in order to enter the Fisherman's Realm again.

Mellen's main purpose is to meet the turtle elder who calls himself Master Roshi. He may be able to get some information from Master Roshi about the world belonging to immortals that he saw in Xiao Liuli's inheritance picture.

Of course, in addition to achieving the main goal, the secondary goal of getting the Fisherman's Realm for free can also be completed by the way.

The Blue Crystal Clan owns the exchange fair, and Vic has an extraordinary status in the Blue Crystal Clan. He can be said to be the best person to do this.

What Mellen took out now was just a drop in the bucket. The bulk of his gains from this trip were actually the many treasures he got from the second-level thunder pool.

However, Mellen had no intention of testing people's hearts, so he was not going to take these things out for the time being. Besides, he was not doing a one-time deal, and there would be many opportunities for transactions in the future, so he could do it little by little.

After completing the transaction with Vic, Mellen looked at Xinke. Seeing that the latter was silent, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you can't produce a treasure of equal value now, I can let you buy it on credit first. Hehe, then I will be your creditor."

Normally, Xin Ke would have jumped up and down at the sight of such a teasing, but at this moment, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I've never learned how to owe anyone anything!"

Then he apologized to the others and waved out a hazy light that enveloped Mellen.

Melen did not hide, but showed curiosity. He realized that this light only had the effect of blocking out sounds and images. His conversation and actions with Xinko in the light could not be perceived by the outside world.

Melen looked at Xinke and waited quietly for the latter to speak.

Xin Ke said seriously, "Mellen, you should be preparing to join the Golden Academy this year, right?"

Mellen nodded and said, "As long as there is no force majeure, I will choose to enroll this year."

Xin Ke said solemnly, "Don't spread what I say next."

Melen nodded slightly, looking like he was listening.

Xin Ke said: "I should have told you that the three major colleges all have..."

He pointed upwards, "With the great existence as their backing, they possess unimaginably abundant resources. But among these resources, the Divine Realm Secret Treasures are the most elite. These so-called 'Divine Realm Secret Treasures' are a series of secret realms created by the great existence. They are used for confrontation, treasure hunting, or chaotic battles, but without exception, all of them contain treasures and inheritances deliberately placed by powerful individuals, as well as the output of the secret realm itself."

"Secret realms are divided into large and small. Large secret realms are basically contested by the best students from the three major colleges, and there is not much room for maneuver. Small secret realms are contested within each college. In addition to students who enter the sequence or become seeds, some additional places will be available."

When Xinke said this, Melen had roughly understood what he wanted to express. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What do sequence and seed mean?"

Xin Ke explained, "Sequence and Seed are specially set by the academy for recognized students. The former looks at actual combat power, while the latter looks at overall talent."

"The Sequence has its own dedicated battlefield. To obtain a Sequence number from 1 to 100, one must undergo various high-intensity battles. Even if one obtains a number, they will constantly face challenges from all sides. Almost every Sequence student possesses skills above the level of a Legendary and has been through countless battles. It's said that among the top ten students, there are even those who have fought against Saints without losing."

"Seeds are selected by the academy. They may have demonstrated some talent, possess certain special features, or have a unique professional heritage. They may not be good at combat, but in terms of future talent and potential, they will never be inferior to the Sequences, and may even be stronger. There is no fixed number of seeds, it all depends on the academy's selection."

"Whether it's a sequence or a seed, both possess great privileges within the academy and are the ultimate goal of all academy students."

Xin Ke looked at Mellen and said, "You probably know what I'm trying to say. There will be a small secret realm opening up at the Golden Academy this year. I can help you secure a spot there. This spot is as valuable as a Saint-level treasure."

"I know you're hiding something, but even if you can become a Sequence or Seed upon entering the academy, don't feel you've been shortchanged. Registering to enter the Lesser Secret Realm requires consuming Sequence and Seed unique points. Each of these unique points is incredibly valuable and can be exchanged for countless unimaginable treasures. Every Sequence and Seed will cherish them like their own eyes and won't waste them easily."

Mellen didn't think much and said directly: "Okay!"

Then he pushed the Thunder Crystal to Xinke.

As for whether Xin Ke will cheat him?

Mellen believed in his own vision. Although this thunder crystal was precious, it meant nothing to him. If he could see through a person clearly through it, it would be a profit.

Xinke did not hesitate this time. He directly put the thunder crystal into his pocket and then returned to his original carefree appearance.

When the light faded, Vic and the others knew that Mellen and Xinke had completed the deal. Although they were curious, they knew better than to ask any further questions.

Although many people are aware of the quota transactions for the small secret realms in the academy, this kind of thing must not be made public, otherwise it will be embarrassing for those saints and even the demigod families. Naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Only in a world without supernatural beings is there a possibility of equality for all, but it is only a possibility.
