Chapter 488: Chapter 236: High Wall, Predicament, Believers and Buddha Master (Part 3)

After reviewing the man’s Attributes via Identification, Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. The Capital City was indeed full of hidden masters. The trio had only been developing here for a little over a month, yet they had already managed to Upgrade several times faster than most Awakeners.

Although this was partly due to the intensity of the battles here, advancing to Tier Two Late Stage Perfection required personally killing over fifty Tier Two Zerg Race creatures.

It seemed the charlatan trio’s strength, fueled by the faith of their believers, had risen to an unbelievable level.

After all, while the physical Physique Attribute could be quickly restored with a full meal and rest, depleted Spiritual Energy—especially for Superpower-type Awakeners—could only be fully replenished through deep sleep.

This meant that with the fake monk’s help, they only needed to siphon a large amount of Spiritual Energy from their believers to ensure that they and the Divine Sect’s upper echelons had an endless supply of vitality to pour into the sect’s development and frontline battles.

Moreover, with the three of them working together, they could use their Spiritual Energy for constant divination, potentially achieving a perfect success rate in seeking fortune, avoiding disaster, and foreseeing all outcomes.

No wonder the young Daoist insisted on coming to the Federal Capital and jumping into this pit of fire.

Because there was nowhere else in the world that could gather so many survivors. Furthermore, the constant threat of death in this high-pressure environment created a desperate need for spiritual solace, causing their number of followers to grow at a frantic pace...

And because of the turbulent times, those in power had no time to investigate or suppress them.

At that moment, a golden light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes as he followed the fake monk from a distance.

Through his Mind Sensing, he saw the man as a bright light source, like the mouth of a siphon, drawing faint, almost imperceptible wisps of Energy from the dim light sources of the nearby believers.

And as he siphoned, the fat on the fake monk’s body grew more and more abundant. Yet, this fat was as light as a feather; he moved without any sense of clumsiness or bulk.

His skin also appeared translucent, with the texture of fine white jade.

Lin Feng knew that the fat was where he stored Spiritual Energy.

He was like a diligent bee gathering nectar, processing it to bring a clear, sweet spiritual honey back to the hive’s queen.

Unfortunately, the price for doing so was draining most of his own Life Force. Just like a power bank, the process of constantly charging and discharging gave it a limited lifespan.

The fake monk was out of breath after just a few steps. His exhaustion didn’t stem from the weight of his excess flesh, but from the mental strain of constantly maintaining his Superpower.

He kept looking back, making eye contact with the Tier Two Awakeners secretly guarding him nearby. Only after confirming he wasn’t being tailed did he sneak his way to a hidden manor within the Capital City.

The place had originally been a private golf course.

It was nestled by mountains and water, surrounded by green fields, and even featured a luxurious, castle-like villa.

It was perfectly suited for the Divine Sect’s development.

Even if thousands or tens of thousands of believers gathered, the place wouldn’t feel crowded.

Lin Feng hid behind a tree, having already knocked out the Tier Two Awakeners when they were far from any crowds.

The fake monk looked back but saw no sign of his guards. A flicker of alarm crossed his mind, but seeing he had reached his destination, he relaxed and continued on, merely quickening his pace.

Soon, from his position to the side, Lin Feng watched the man enter the gray-white manor. He then spotted the trio’s second-in-command:

The blind fortune-teller, sitting on a second-floor balcony and basking in the Sun.

Human, lv29/29, State: Extremely Weak

Life Value: 550, Physique: 850, Spirit: 990

Superpower Awakening — Heaven-Peeping

Heaven-Peeping: Consumes a certain amount of Spiritual Energy and the user’s own Life Force to calculate the probability of a specific event occurring.

Note: The consumption of Life Force from this ability is permanent. Each activation reduces the user’s maximum Life Value. Please use with caution.

Note: This ability can ascertain events of the past, present, and potential future.

Evaluation: For one who can divine destiny, it is impossible to see one’s own fate. His final act of Heaven-Peeping, paid for with his life, will be an inevitable event.

’The blind fortune-teller is already this drained...’

’That young Daoist... where is Zhang Tianming?!’
