Chapter 67 Fusion of Wind Source Crystal

The medal of honor had automatically recognized its owner, and Qi Yuan felt a surge of power.

He felt he could mobilize a tiny fraction of the entire Suifeng Territory's power at any time.

With the blessing of that inexplicable power, both combat and the comprehension of laws are slightly enhanced.

Qi Yuan's talent is already very high.

Even he could feel the boost.

One can imagine how enormous the boost would be if the native humans in the secret realm obtained the Medal of Glory.

Even a mediocre person can instantly become a genius!

"It's broken!"

"It's really broken!"

"We have witnessed the birth of a miracle today!"

The crowd in the square cheered wildly, and countless eyes were fixed on Qi Yuan, filled with envy and admiration.

"Qi Yuan, Glory Power, Superb!"

The middle-aged man raised his arms and shouted, then bowed respectfully to him.

Congratulations on receiving the Medal of Honor!

"Hahaha, a true genius has finally emerged in our Suifeng Territory!"

A hearty laugh rang out.

Yan Qi, the master of Suifeng Territory, has arrived.

"Greetings, Lord!"

People in the square all paid their respects.

"I have already reported to the border official in northern Zhejiang, and I believe that an envoy will arrive in a few days."

He held Qi Yuan's hand affectionately.

"Come on! I've already prepared a feast, let's go drink!"

Yan Qi threw a grand banquet, and all the prominent figures in Suifeng Territory attended.

One by one, they eagerly toasted him, showering him with flattery and gifts.

Hua Ling also came.

After giving a gift, he sat alone in a corner, drinking his sorrows away.

While dealing with the crowd, Qi Yuan secretly observed her.

Beside her, an inconspicuous old servant turned out to be a third-tier realm lord!

It seems that no one present noticed this, and they didn't pay any attention to the old woman.

There wasn't even a single seat assigned.

Recalling the chaos caused by the monsters two hundred years ago, and the mysterious death of the former city lord, a smile appeared on Qi Yuan's lips.

"A prince's revenge story? Interesting!"

late at night.

In the backyard of the lord's mansion, Yan Qi was practicing a secret technique.

"No, that's not right!"

"This secret technique is supposed to work like this, but why does it always feel wrong when I try to use it?"

The once-in-a-century beast tide is about to begin, and Suifeng leader will be the first to suffer.

Especially after the old city lord died, he clearly felt that the blessing power of the Medal of Glory had weakened considerably.

He was no longer confident about this beast tide.

He longed to be transferred to another "territory" deep inland, rather than to fight to the death with monsters.

Qi Yuan's appearance was the glimmer of hope for him.

He couldn't leave until the transfer order for northern Zhejiang was issued.

Thinking about this, he became more and more agitated.

"That's not how the laws of the universe are applied."

A voice rang out.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

Yan Qi shouted.

"I'm telling you, you're using it wrong. That's not how you apply the laws of the universe!"

Qi Yuan's figure emerged from the shadows.

"Watch closely!"

Clang!

A dazzling sword light caught his eye.

In this sword strike, he saw ultimate glory and brilliance, the operation of numerous cosmic laws, the birth and decay of the world...

And so, Yan Qi stood there, his eyes vacant and lifeless, his expression wooden.

Tell me about the Wind Crystal.

Qi Yuan spoke.

"The Wind Source Crystal is in the hands of the city lord; it is a treasure that can enhance one's genetic level."

Yan Qi recounted the story in a blank expression.

"After each beast tide in the past, the city lord would grant a portion of the people a Wind Source Crystal based on their merits."

I was fortunate enough to obtain one once, but unfortunately, we couldn't fuse them together successfully.

To fuse with the Wind Source Crystal, one not only needs to meet certain physical conditions, but also needs to possess an extremely strong will.

This process is extremely painful.

If you can't withstand the pressure, you will fail.

However, since the new city lord took office, no more Wind Source Crystals have been distributed.

I don't know if they didn't want to give it, or if something unexpected happened.

His tone carried a hint of resentment.

"Oh? Give me your Wind Source Crystal."

Yan Qi took out an exquisite wooden box from his spatial ring and presented it to Yan Qi.

Qi Yuan opened the wooden box and saw a prismatic crystal lying inside.

It is light blue in color, and there seems to be water flowing inside.

His body felt a yearning, a desire to integrate it into his being.

He closed the wooden box and put it into the ring.

"Do you know where the Wind Source Crystal came from?"

Qi Yuan pressed for an answer.

"No one knows except the city lord."

Yan Qi shook his head and continued speaking in a dazed tone.

"Everyone speculates that it may be related to the ruins of an ancient battlefield."

It is also related to the beast tide.

Because the old city lord always bestowed Wind Source Crystals after the beast tide.

But I don't know the specifics.

He thought for a moment, "Perhaps there is one more person who knows."

"Who?"

"Hua Ling. The old city lord died mysteriously in battle back then. Hua Ling was his only daughter. It is said that he rescued Hua Ling from the battlefield."

After failing to obtain any further information...

"Go. Remember, you didn't see anyone tonight, and you never received a Wind Source Crystal."

Qi Yuan looked into his eyes, which shone with a deep light.

"I haven't seen anyone tonight, and I've never received a Wind Crystal."

He muttered to himself, then turned and left.

Qi Yuan's figure seemed ethereal, passing through layers of guards and silently returning to his room.

After making arrangements to block outside observation, he began to take out the Wind Source Crystal.

laugh!

His palm was cut, and blood stained the pale blue crystals.

A crystal column, more than an inch long, began to merge into the body through the wound.

pain!

Intense pain assaulted Qi Yuan's consciousness.

Qi Yuan remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

As the Wind Source Crystal continued to integrate, the pain gradually intensified, and his appearance began to change.

The fingers turned into sharp claws.

The teeth turned into fangs.

Mysterious patterns appeared on his face, and layers of scales appeared on his skin.

"roar!"

In his pain, he involuntarily let out a beast-like roar.

The body sometimes swells up as if it's about to explode, and sometimes shrinks back down.

In a daze, he saw himself as a naturally noble beast, freely roaming, playing, and killing.

Until one day, countless peerless experts whose strength was no less than his began to hunt him down.

Fight!

Endless carnage.

Finally, he perished.

Suddenly, his consciousness blurred, and the scene vanished without leaving a trace in his mind.

The Wind Source Crystal has completely integrated into his body and into his genes, completely transforming them.

Claws, fangs, scales, and all other markings disappeared, and Qi Yuan returned to normal, as if it were all an illusion.

Qi Yuan felt a wave of exhaustion, but also a sense of unprecedented fulfillment.

At this point, his genetic level doubled, and his understanding of various cosmic laws became clearer.
