Third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie, I've finally advanced to a third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie! Lin Tian shouted excitedly in his heart. He didn't know what it felt like to be a third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie, but the surging power inside him and the toughness of his body clearly indicated that this was it.
With this understanding of power, Lin Tian felt that he had reached a new height. He finally understood why Xu Feibai could easily break the prison Barrier. Yes, it was really that simple: because a third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie naturally possesses that kind of power.
He felt that he could not only easily break the prison Barrier now, but also fully contend with Xu Feibai. Although he was a newly-advanced Yellow-eyed Zombie and Xu Feibai was an experienced one, Lin Tian was confident, and that confidence came from the power within his body.
While Lin Tian was immersed in his power, the flame mark on his forehead flickered, and a scorching energy surged out from his brow and spread throughout his body. The already surging power instantly ignited like gasoline caught on fire, setting a blaze within him, causing Lin Tian to tilt his head back and let out a long howl.
The howl echoed long in the night sky. Lin Tian felt his zombie teeth move, and then to his surprise, the zombie teeth shrunk by a size. Even though his teeth became smaller, Lin Tian knew the power had actually increased, much like the delicate and exquisite zombie teeth of a female zombie.
The scorching energy throughout his body converged into his palms. Lin Tian couldn't help but raise his hands, and an astonishing scene immediately appeared: a purple flame burned in his palms.
This was not a pattern, not a mark, but a real flame, quietly burning in his palms, yet it contained an intimidating power.
"This is the physical manifestation of the power of fire. I actually conjured the physical manifestation of the power of fire!" Lin Tian whispered, a surge of ecstasy welling up in him. This was another significant gain after advancing to a third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie.
According to legends, the places that Nu Ba passed became a barren land for miles, relying on this very flame. One can only imagine how powerful this purple flame is.
Of course, Lin Tian knew he couldn't yet achieve turning vast lands barren. This was just a small flame, but it symbolized a new beginning. This was the mark of Nu Ba's lineage. If he continued to cultivate, this flame would grow steadily, eventually becoming a raging inferno capable of boiling heavens and burning cities.
"Hahaha…" Lin Tian laughed wildly. He really hadn't expected that just a rescue operation for Mrs. Xiao would result in such rewards, not only advancing to a third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie but also beginning to master the power of fire.
"You... you've advanced?" Charlotte raised her head and looked at the laughing Lin Tian, frowning as she spoke.
Lin Tian ceased his laughter, looked down at Charlotte, and said with a faint smile, "Should I thank you? If it wasn't for your Formation that triggered the Evil Qi deep within the ancient battlefield, who knows how many years it would take for me to advance."
"The Knight I fancy is indeed extraordinary, able to resurrect in adversity. The stronger you become, the happier and more fond I become." Charlotte said without fear, rather with admiration.
"I hope you will still be happy and still like it once you witness my power." Lin Tian said coldly, unaffected.
With that, Lin Tian jumped directly from the chimney. The gravitational acceleration propelled him like a cannonball, but as he approached the ground, Lin Tian stepped on the chimney several times, and with a flip, he landed steadily without creating any crater.
Not only had his power become stronger, but his control over it was also more proficient.
Charlotte watched with eyes alight. Who wouldn't create a crater in the ground? But being able to control one's power gracefully is the most challenging.
However, despite Lin Tian's words, Charlotte was not angry; instead, she became even more intrigued. She beckoned with a hand, and another Soul-devouring Blade flew into her grasp, then she waved the dagger.
The Skeleton Soldiers originally standing idly around immediately revived, turning en masse toward Lin Tian. Before his advancement, these Skeletons were a nuisance for Lin Tian, resistant to hits and blows.
But at this moment, Lin Tian faced the army of thousands with indifference. He did not attack, instead, he just clasped his hands behind his back, walking step by step toward Charlotte.
However, with every step he took, the ground shook mightily. Whenever the Skeleton Soldiers approached, they were instantly sent flying. Lin Tian strode through the skeleton horde as if strolling casually, giving the impression to the uninitiated that he was merely out for a walk.
Lin Tian walked right up to Charlotte and reached out with an open palm toward her. Seemingly a simple gesture, but the sound of the air exploding showed the magnitude of Lin Tian's power, the speed of his strike.
Previously, he had to deliberately use his strength to shatter the air, but now he could do so with a casual palm. Charlotte raised an eyebrow and met Lin Tian's strike with a punch.
With a loud boom, Lin Tian stood utterly unmoved while Charlotte was sent flying backward, crashing into an abandoned building, tearing down half of it. Her strength had never matched Lin Tian before, and now with Lin Tian's advancement, even less so.
Amidst the dust and rubble, a black shadow swiftly flew out, blinking toward Lin Tian. It was Charlotte transformed into a bat. As a bat, her speed was greatly enhanced, her sharp claws on the bat wings swiped at Lin Tian's neck, aiming to decapitate him.
But she missed, as Lin Tian was even faster, appearing almost simultaneously to the side of the giant bat. Lin Tian extended his hand, razor-sharp nails like the claws of a Divine Beast, fiercely slipped across the bat wing, leaving a deep bone-exposing gash.
Charlotte couldn't maintain her transformation, crashing onto the ground, reverting back to her human form, clutching her arm as she rose from the ground.
From her right arm oozed dark red blood, and a shocking wound stretched from her shoulder to her forearm, the skin peeled back, deep enough to expose the bone. If she wasn't a vampire, her arm would've been crippled from that strike.
"Consider yourself lucky to dodge that; otherwise, your arm would have been severed. Your subordinate injured Rossi, and now you'll pay the debt." Lin Tian said coldly.
Charlotte's face was grim. She hadn't expected Lin Tian, post-advancement, to possess such terrifying speed, surpassing even her bat transformation.
However, such a wound was trivial to a vampire. In just a few breaths, Charlotte's arm was completely healed, showing no trace except for the ripped clothing, which no longer held its original elegance.
"Attacking even women, you're hardly a gentleman." Charlotte taunted.
At this moment, Lin Tian was as cold as ice, unmoved by her provocation, merely sneering, "Gentlemen are the hypocritical facade of your kind. In Huaxia, there is no pretentious gentility, only gentlemen like dragons, retributive gentlemen."
"Is that so? I've hurt you, and your Xiao Family girl is of uncertain fate. How will you take your revenge?" Charlotte smiled lightly.
"You'll deeply experience it." Lin Tian smiled mysteriously, and before his voice faded, he vanished from where he stood.
