Chapter 1856 - 1855: Life Tower?

Of course.

Despite Ling being soaked in sweat, with his clothes drenched and his spiritual power extremely weak, he rested half-lying against the Purple Crystal Stone for quite a while before regaining some spirit. In a cold voice, he said to Wanshi and the others, "Hmph! You traitors, just wait and regret later!"

"......"

The four of Wanshi looked at each other, somewhat regretting Ling’s remarkable performance.

At this moment.

Servant God reappeared above the Purple Crystal Stone.

Ling and the others quickly kneeled as before.

Servant God looked down at the crowd and said, "I’ve come this time to congratulate you again for achieving an ’S’ ranking once more, and you’re rewarded with another Golden General!"

"Oh?!!"

The crowd was surprised and looked at each other, trying to see who exactly received the ’S’ rating.

Eventually, their gaze gathered on Ling!

Previously, Qin Feng had easily received an ’S’ ranking, but they all knew he completely relied on money. An attack from hell cost over a billion, and they had advised Qin Feng that there would be many more places needing expenses in the future, so he should save and not waste so much.

Therefore, it should not be him.

Then there was only one choice, Ling!

Ling, lacking Spirit Stones, had already defended the third wave of the "Level 5 Tide" attack, a truly astounding performance.

"Damn, it’s all your fault..."

Yin Shou, Fu Mo, and Black Dragon looked at Wanshi, hating that they listened to him and betrayed Ling.

Now, Ling’s performance continued to shine.

By contrast, Qin Feng’s initial "wasteful" behavior was not well-regarded...

At this moment.

Even Ling wondered if he might be the one receiving the reward rating this time, feeling immensely delighted.

Yet.

The Golden General came out like last time and knelt directly to Qin Feng!

"What?!!"

The crowd was not expecting it; it was Qin Feng again, "Is it you again?"

"Sigh......"

Qin Feng let out a deep sigh.

Seeing this, the crowd felt relieved. What does his sigh mean? It shows he’s regretting! Why regret? Surely because he’s regretting that this rating isn’t him!

Could it be... that the Golden General made a mistake?

If that’s the case, it’s still bearable...

At this moment.

Qin Feng sighed and then said, "Why is it still ’S’? I thought this time’s performance would earn an ’SS’......"

Puh!!

The crowd nearly spat blood.

Turns out this guy sighed because of this, damn it......

At this moment.

The most disheartened person was naturally Ling.

He looked at Qin Feng with eyes full of hatred, wishing he could battle Qin Feng to the death right now.

Before Qin Feng arrived, only Ling had received two ’A’ rankings. Yet now Qin Feng, defending just the second wave of attacks, had already received two ’S’ ratings, truly infuriating!

"I hope you can continue performing well, I support you." After saying this, Servant God was about to turn transparent and vanish.

Ling saw this and quickly said, "Lord Servant God, please wait!!"

"Something?" Servant God asked.

Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Servant God, I want to refine the power of the ’Dragon Heart’ once more!"

"I see."

Servant God nodded, then waved a long sleeve, a strange power entered his body, and said, "Done, now you just need to go under the ’Life Tower’ to refine."

"Thank you, Lord Servant God!"

Ling kowtowed.

Servant God disappeared, and Ling also got up, glaring at Qin Feng, and then left heading towards his West Gate "Life Tower."

Qin Feng curiously asked, "By the way, how exactly is his power applied here?"

Normally, each person responsible for guarding the gates cannot use their own power, only command.

For example, Qin Feng, although possessing Nanli Divine Fire, Wood Immortal Power, and Dream God Descent’s "Wanxiang, Little Illusion Realm," had no effect on the enemies.

But he had heard before that Ling and Ghost Lady were exceptions.

This made him very curious.

"Because in our bodies, we possess other powers, specifically powers with independent life forces." Ghost Lady explained to him, "Ling’s ’Dragon Heart’ power, although belonging to him, the ’heart’ unlike ordinary innate abilities, has independent life characteristics, so this part of the power can be used, but it requires Servant God’s approval and then refining it in the ’Life Tower.’"

"I see......"

Qin Feng pinched his chin and murmured, "If that’s the case, then perhaps I should try too......"

He didn’t know if the power of the Left Arm Qilin in his body could be used.

Nor did he know if the power of the "Divine King" could be used.

According to his understanding of the "Divine King" power, the "Divine King" also has a life force. When he was swallowed by that power while opening the Great Formation beneath Lake City, the Divine King’s power autonomously emerged for a brief defense, which made his success so smooth.

If the power of the "Divine King" works, that would be even better.

"Don’t."

Ghost Lady noticed his intent to try and spoke to stop him.

"Oh? Why?"

Qin Feng was puzzled.

"Because the power refined in the Life Tower will severely diminish that force." Ghost Lady explained, "For example, Ling possesses the power of the ’Dragon Heart,’ every time he refines in the Life Tower, the Dragon Heart’s power will weaken somewhat, and this weakening is indeed internal."

"And the weakened part of the power cannot return to the body because it acts as the life force source for the Life Tower, forming a ’Bead’ at the top of the Life Tower to activate the tower’s array to aid refining."

"It’s like slicing off a piece of meat, easy when cutting, but recovery takes a long time."

"So if there’s no other choice, better not go, it’s not worth the cost."

"......"

Qin Feng understood only after hearing her explanation.

Given her words, it’s still more practical to use money.

With money, there’s no need to rely on that part of the power for support.

"Does that mean you’ve also lost a lot?"

Qin Feng looked at Ghost Lady.

He knew Ghost Lady previously had no Spirit Stone support yet managed to guard the gate, using her own power.

"Not much, it’s not too bad."

Ghost Lady shrugged and said, "Ling’s aspirations are different from mine. He wholeheartedly wants to obtain the relics of the Taichu Immortal King. I just wish to guard the gate, ensuring I can meet the Taichu Immortal’s servant, which is enough, so I’ve been defending the ’Level 1 Frenzy’ attack wave, losses aren’t too significant."

"Shouldn’t be too little, I understand......"

Qin Feng sighed lightly.

Without Spirit Stone support, without Defense Towers, Ghost Lady relied on Barracks to consistently guard wave after wave of "Level 1 Frenzy" attacks. If she lost little of her own power, it is absolutely impossible. She certainly lost greatly, but as the senior sister, with a strong heart, she didn’t want people to worry, didn’t want to speak out......
