Chapter 2710 Tower Canon’s Counterattack!
The Jasmine Lily’s healing abilities could be categorized into close-range and far-range individual entity healing, as well as close-range and far-range group healing.
The Jasmine Lily was not very skilled at far-range group healing.
But Shiny’s Revived Seasonal Winds would imbue the wind elements with healing abilities.
In an environment where the wind was constantly flowing, the targets that Shiny had designated would be recovered.
It would not deplete too much of Shiny’s energy to use wind elements to heal other targets.
Once wind began flowing, it would only grow stronger until a powerful external force restrained it. This meant that Revived Seasonal Winds’ healing effects would only grow stronger.
As long as Shiny was present, the healing effects of Wind’s Descendant would persist.
This far-range group healing abilities would lead to unimaginable effects during large-scale war.
But in Lin Yuan’s opinion, Shiny’s biggest improvement came from its Myth Breed exclusive skill, Summoning Wind Changing Spirit.
Summoning Wind Changing Spirit would allow Shiny to use the wind elements in its body to accommodate other elemental energy and turn them into vassals of wind-elemental energy.
Hence, Shiny could change its own attributes, after which its own abilities would also be altered.
It would then harvest the attributes that would be the most effective against the enemy and use them in its attacks.
While Shiny was changing its attributes, it would be able to tap into the elements’ reactive effects to strengthen the damage it could inflict.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and took out hundreds of fire-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls from his spatial equipment.
Lin Yuan brought the fire-type elemental pearls over to Shiny so it could use Summoning Wind Changing Spirit to absorb them.
The hundreds of fire-type elemental pearls were definitely insufficient for Shiny.
Lin Yuan was not trying to use Summoning Wind Changing Spirit to increase Shiny’s power. He was just trying to see if Wind’s Descendant would change after its attributes were changed.
Shiny in human form absorbed the fire-type elemental pearls like a child eating sweets. Shiny might look like an elegant gentleman, but it was not gracefully eating the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls at all.
It grabbed tens of elemental pearls in fistfuls and swallowed them. It would chew occasionally.
The fire-type elemental pearls burst open in Shiny’s mouth, but none of the fire-elemental energy escaped.
After Shiny was done consuming these fire-type heavenly-maiden-grades, but before Lin Yuan could say anything, Shiny’s aura suddenly changed.
The light and agile wind elements swirling around Shiny changed into fervent fire-elemental energy.
When Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Shiny, he saw that the exclusive skill Wind’s Descendant had turned into Fire’s Descendant.
[Fire’s Descendant]: By placing itself as the heart of all fire elements, it will become a volcano and control all of the surrounding fire elements. It will become the master, while all other flames will become its disciples.
The description of the exclusive skill had completely changed to suit that of fire elements.
Lin Yuan pressed his lips together with suppressed excitement.
Summoning Wind Changing Spirit not only allowed Shiny to gain the abilities of various elements but also allowed it to be the ruler of the elemental territory and suppress other lifeforms belonging to the same element.
If Lin Yuan wanted to battle Xia Qing again, he could change Shiny’s attributes to fire-type. Not only would the territory of fire be unable to cause harm to Shiny, but it would even bolster it.
Shiny stared unblinkingly at Lin Yuan. It could tell from his expression that he was happy with its growth.
Shiny reached out its hand and shook it in front of Lin Yuan.
“Yuan, do you still have the elemental pearls? They will help me to take on more and different kinds of opponents during combat!”
Lin Yuan tapped Shiny’s beak.
“I have more than enough of the elemental pearls. I am only concerned that you won’t be able to digest too many at once!”
Lin Yuan took out large chests full of various types of elemental pearls that the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope had organized. There were around 3,000 elemental pearls in every chest.
Lin Yuan said, “Shiny, go ahead and eat your fill. There are only four types of elemental pearls now—wind, fire, earth, and water. I will provide you with rare elements in the future so you can increase your power.”
Because of Summoning Wind Changing Spirit, Shiny was similar to the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil in that nurturing it involved absorbing various types of pure elemental energy.
Although Lin Yuan did not use the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil and Frigid often during battle, they were extremely important to him, and he had not stopped supplying them with resources.
The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil and Frigid were currently accumulating their power.
After Lin Yuan was promoted to an A-rank spirit qi professional, he did not rush into evolving their grades and qualities because these were not vital to the two of them. The evolution of their bloodlines was the most important!
Lin Yuan intended to wait until their bloodlines reached a certain point before he tried to evolve their grades and qualities. His aim was to use the evolution of their grades and qualities to enable their bloodlines to break through.
The Mother of Bloodbath could not stop the look of envy from spreading across its face when it saw Lin Yuan providing Shiny with resources.
The Mother of Bloodbath was not jealous that Lin Yuan was treating Shiny well.
The Mother of Bloodbath believed that it received even better treatment from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had even been ready to give up his life for the sake of helping it with its World Cleansing!
The Mother of Bloodbath was jealous that Shiny had access to the best resources from the onset of its life. It thus had a perfect foundation that many other feys of the Barren bloodline did not have. It was truly born with a golden spoon in its mouth!
The Mother of Bloodbath had been watching over Shiny at home and experienced the life of a stay-at-home mother. Hence, it had been unable to watch the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
“Lin Yuan, did everything go well with the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection?”
Lin Yuan shook his head. “Things didn’t exactly go smoothly. It almost failed. Elder Liu was too anxious and set the difficulty of the test too high.”
Although Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s interference managed to allow the selection to end well, the high bar of difficulty of the test would inevitably have caused some excellent youths to drown in the wave of death spirits due to their bad luck.
Lin Yuan felt that this was a pity.
The Mother of Bloodbath did not understand what Lin Yuan was trying to say. In its opinion, the harder the test, the more outstanding the survivors.
The Mother of Bloodbath was more interested in Lin Yuan rather than the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
The Radiance Knight and Radiance Envoy selections would take place after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
As one of the contenders for the Radiance Envoys, he needed to head to the Radiance Sacred Hall to watch the Radiance Knight selection.
It was clear that Liu Jie had the potential to be a Radiance Envoy, but he still chose to join the Radiance Knight selection instead. Just like Wen Yu, he would become Lin Yuan’s aide.
Long Tao, Gao Feng, and An He were also participating in the Radiance Knight selection.
Lin Yuan was taken aback by An He’s participation but quickly figured out why he had made that decision.
Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and Xia Qing were not the only ones participating in the Radiance Envoy selection. The previous generation of Radiance Envoys would also be participating. They had to knock the previous generation of Radiance Envoys out of their positions.
Just like the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, the format of the Radiance Envoy selection had also changed.
After Lin Yuan and the rest became Radiance Envoys, they would have to accept challenges from subsequent generations every few years.
The dead spirit crisis occurred after the Major Federation Union was established. It became clear that there would be no Major Federation Meeting. Because the federations now had different levels of power, they did not need to compete or be ranked during the meeting.
The federation envoys were iconic to their federations.
An He struggled to compete with Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Xia Qing, and the rest, much less try to take on the current Radiance Envoys.
After understanding this, An He decided to give up on aspiring to become a Radiance Envoy. Instead, he set his sights on the Radiance Knight selection.
He felt fully confident in passing.
A day was enough time for Shiny to absorb these elemental pearls.
Wen Yu and Liu Jie needed to stay the night in the Radiance Sacred Hall to take part in the oath-taking of the Radiance Knight selection.
In one of his rare periods of respite, Lin Yuan returned to his room and had a good sleep. This sleep could only be described as rejuvenating.
The next day, just as Lin Yuan was about to head to the Radiance Sacred Hall, he saw that the Moon Empress had personally paid a visit to the Return from Faraway Mansion.
He was well aware of how busy she was. She had just finished presiding over the Major Federation Union meeting and could not even watch the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. She should be in the Radiance Sacred Hall now.
The instant his eyes landed on the Moon Empress, alarm bells rang in Lin Yuan’s head.
It was likely that the dead spirits crisis had taken a turn. There was no other reason for the Moon Empress to appear here at such a time.
Furthermore, this change had to compromise the demon insects’ defense of the main world!
Otherwise, regardless of what happened in the dead spirits crisis, the Moon Empress could have contacted him through the Thoughts Letter Paper or by phone call.
When he saw the austere expression on her face, Lin Yuan asked, “Master, what happened over on the dead spirits’ side?”
Lin Yuan’s voice was full of suspicion.
If the demon insects had encountered a powerful enemy, Keira should have sent him a message about it. But since she had not contacted him, it meant that she could address whatever was happening over on the dead spirits’ side.
The Moon Empress solemnly said, “We intentionally retained 18 Dead Spirits Wells to train our soldiers and didn’t instruct the demon insects to defend these 18 Dead Spirits Wells. Since yesterday, these 18 Dead Spirits Wells have been producing dead spirits at accelerated rates. The numbers doubled within a mere eight hours! Tower Canon must be up to something!”
Lin Yuan immediately understood what was happening.
The Moon Empress had come to see him because she was concerned that Keira would not be able to commandeer the demon insects to handle the expanding dead spirits wave.
But the fact that Keira had not contacted him meant she could handle it.
The dead spirits had to have been injected with an enormous amount of death aura in order to multiply in the short span of eight hours.
Tower Canon would not use up such a large amount of death aura for no reason. This was a clear sign that Tower Canon was launching their counterattack.
The Eight Pages of Tower Canon had been planning for the revival of the dead spirits for a very long time and had to have discovered that the demon insects were fending off the dead spirits wave and protecting the main world.
Lin Yuan would not optimistically assume that Tower Canon could not tackle the demon insects. If Tower Canon had been unable to handle the demon insects, they would not have begun their counterattack after a period of silence.
“Master, I will begin setting up defenses now. I won’t be able to head to the Radiance Sacred Hall to watch the Radiance Knight selection.”
The Moon Empress sighed and reached out to help Lin Yuan adjust his collar.
Lin Yuan still had to be the one to step forward to handle the situation at times like this.
During the initial outbreak of the dead spirits wave, all the lifeforms in the main world, including the Radiance Federation, were unable to handle the disaster even if they joined forces. The sea clans led by the Vast Sea Labyrinth fared even worse than the humans when it came to tackling the dead spirits. From the beginning, it was Lin Yuan who saved the main world time and time again.
It was true then, and it was still true now.
“I have informed the other members of royalty of the changes to the dead spirits wave. The Radiance Knight and Radiance Envoy selections will be postponed.”
The Moon Empress had not made this decision on her own but had come to this conclusion after a discussion with the other members of royalty.
The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and reranking had already bolstered the confidence of the Radiance citizens.
If they went on to hold the Radiance Knight and Radiance Envoy selections when they were on the cusp of an unknown disaster, it would affect their ability to handle and prepare for the disaster.
Lin Yuan did not say anything. He could not guarantee that he could use Keira to fend off Tower Canon’s counterattack.
He instructed Red Thorn to release the Abyss Great Emperor and stood on its palm. He then ordered it to take him to where the five female demon insects were hiding.
Meanwhile, Keira was greedily absorbing pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. She had never been in such a magical paradise before. With this environment, Keira felt that she no longer needed the gems that contained pure spirit qi.
Lin Yuan had to have a powerful source of support in order to possess such a blissful haven.
Once again, Keira reaffirmed that being accepted as Lin Yuan’s servant was the biggest opportunity of her life!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan summoned Keira and frowned as he asked her, “You should be aware of the changes that have occurred with the dead spirits wave in the past eight hours. Why didn’t you inform me of this in advance? I told you to report any and all changes to the dead spirits wave to me!”
