The dead are gone, but the living are like this.

Lin Lowen, Odette, Olivia, Skadi, and Maias stood in front of the five newly erected tombstones, and they silently recited a prayer. Their bones have been collected by the Fat Bear Division, turned into ashes, and sent to various cities of the Franco-Austrian Alliance. They used to be the pride of their parents, the geniuses of the city, and the guardian sword college students who needed to be looked up to. Now, they live only in the memories of a few, and perhaps their loved ones will shed tears of grief, while the Franco-Austrian people live as they did in the past. They are busy with their respective careers, busy with cultivation, busy with intrigues, competing for power and profit, and busy getting more resources and benefits. Also without exception, Lin Luowen also longed for more powerful strength and more cultivation resources.

Ever since he got that mysterious crystal, in his heart, it seems that there is a string, and as soon as his progress lags behind this string, then he will be crushed. The ruthless wheel of fortune never changes because of anyone's existence, and it is often only themselves who have to change.

In the next three days, Lin Luowen and the other five people recuperated and recovered from their injuries. Sometimes Lin Luowen would go to some of the mountain ranges on the border, which were the easiest places to encounter demon beasts below level six, and it was also the place where Lin Luowen was most likely to get the spirit grass at the moment.

Later, Lovin Lin, Odette, Olivia, Skati and Mias formed a new team. In addition to Lin Luowen, who can directly confront and kill the fifth-level battle master, Odette's spiritual secret method can also affect the fifth-level enemy to a certain extent, and Olivia's strength can barely face the weaker fifth-level battle master. Skadi can compete with the average fifth-level battle master, and although Lin Luowen has never seen her real hole cards, her family background should be as strong as the Olivia sisters. As for Maias, his strength is a little weaker than Olivia's, and this is because Olivia has more powerful martial arts secrets and combat skills.

Half a month has passed since the first Hidden Dragon Conference, and Lin Luowen has once again ignited a yuan point. Now he has lit thirteen yuan points.

The five of them carried out their first collective team mission, and they managed to kill three fifth-level warlords and eight fourth-level warlords, most of which were due to Lin Luowen. Because even if Lin Luowen didn't have the blessing of the continued growth of the fruit of power, his physical and spiritual talents also allowed him to grow slowly.

Qingmeng's strength has also improved, and after the first mission, it has become a third-level existence. Why? It eats the corpses of the fifth-level warriors it killed. Although this is a little psychologically uncomfortable for humans, for Qingmeng, a strange beast, humans, demon beasts, and everything that can increase its strength are its tempting food. And the means and methods used by human beings to plunder resources may be ten times more brutal than Qingmeng's behavior.

The fast-growing Qingmeng is about one meter two tall, which is not so hideous and more agile in comparison.

This was followed by a second mission. This time the mission is a single-player mission. Lin Luowen followed the other seven first-year students and two second-year students to complete the mission, in which he killed two fifth-level war masters and three fourth-level battle masters. The two fifth-level warlords who were on the mission with him were quite shocked, and the last person who was so powerful at the fourth level was the eighth-generation guardian sword Mitelas Fasaria who was recorded in the history of the Guardian Sword University. And the mission again reduced the number of first-year students by two students. Because the difficulty of the task seems to have increased because of Lin Luowen's addition.

After the third collective team. Lin Luowen and the other five successfully completed the mission again, and this time they faced a little more strength and number of enemies, although not as strong as the unexpected situation encountered in Sahalas, but also stronger than the enemies faced by the first-year students when they normally carried out group team tasks. After the mission, Maias suffered moderate injuries and Ovilla and Lovin suffered minor injuries. Odette's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and the spiritual secret method she uses can be blessed to Lin Luowen, allowing him to increase his strength by a full one percent in a short period of time.

In battle, everyone's potential is unleashed, and their strength is slowly improving. The number of meta points is the cornerstone, and the body and spirit are the materials for building the high platform.

Moreover, Qingmeng's strength has been raised to the fourth level. At this time, it reached a height of about one meter six.

After the fourth mission. There is still one day left before the second Hidden Dragon Conference will start, and without exception, Lin Luowen is at the top of the list. Lin Luowen's record at this time was 156,600 points. He changed to a heavy sword, which was improved in style and weight according to his requirements, and this heavy sword was of the intermediate level of the Xuan Rank. He is still called Yamaming. He also exchanged for the high-level part of the Xuan-level combat skill, the Mountain Splitting Slash, which cost him 85,000 battle points. At this point, the remaining record points are 53,000.

Lin Luowen was on the train, and sitting next to him was Qingmeng. He closed his eyes and pondered the knowledge and information in his mind. Now, he has cultivated the Taishang Induction Technique, the Clear Spirit Eye, and the Goshawk Cloud Wandering Technique to the consummation realm. The Rune Xuanjia Technique was also used by him for enlightenment, and he was familiar with the three hundred and sixty symbols and various combinations in it. He had already cultivated the low-level part of the Xuan level to perfection, and the middle part of the Xuan level to perfection. The effect of Rune Xuanjia is very practical, after running the Rune Xuanjia, a layer of Rune Xuanjia will be formed on the surface of the body, and the words on it will protect against physical attacks, and symbols will protect against spiritual attacks. The strength of the protection is determined by the strength of the physical and mental forces.

And the knowledge and secret methods in the Eight Desolations Imperial Beast Sutra were too vast and majestic, and he could only use some of the six of them. Some secret methods and knowledge can only be known and used when they have reached a higher level.

Once the Blade of Judgment and the Shadow of Slaughter have both been upgraded to the fourth and fifth levels (9/9), they cannot be further improved. The level of the Soul Blood Bead is Level 5 and Order 3 (4\/9).

Qingmeng beside him was holding an illustrated book in his hand, and Qingmeng's height at this time was already more than one meter eight, about the same as Lin Luowen. The illustrated book records pictures of some monsters, plants, and ores, as well as some simple text descriptions. It has been able to communicate with Lin Luowen through the life soul, and its demon beast language can also be understood by Lin Luowen, who uses the secret method of the annex. Its intelligence is no longer inferior to that of ordinary people. It's just that it has grown up too little and has acquired too little information and knowledge to understand a book written in pure words.

Qingmeng's body was a little stronger than Lin Luowen's, and it was covered with the skin of a purple demon wolf. It has large, round eyes, and its agile eyes look at the illustrated book with interest, and its small purple ears move from time to time. Its elongated claws can be retracted, which allows it to grasp things better. In one of its hands was a glass of bright red juice, with some of its own blended monster jerky, salt, wine, and other things, but it sucked it with relish.

When the Yuanli train arrived at the station, Qingmeng would take a look around, its vigilance was very strong, and Lin Luowen's perception was not as good as that of this carefully cultivated beast when he was not running the Taishang Induction Technique. Sometimes when a group of students from another school passes by, it stares at the group of people, as if thinking about something. When the students saw it, they were a little surprised, but they didn't say much. After all, it's just a monster. They also have people who practice the beast control technique, but they haven't seen such a spiritual demon beast yet.

Two hours passed, and Lin Luowen opened his eyes. Exhaled, his eyes even cooler than when he first entered the Guardian Sword University. Qingmeng, who was sitting next to him, habitually leaned over, and Lin Luowen pushed him away.

One man and one beast walked at the Yuanli train station in Xiuda City, and there was also a badge on Qingmeng's left chest, marking that it was a demon beast companion raised by humans.

At this time, Lin Luowen had already ignited fourteen yuan points, and Qingmeng's level had also reached the peak of the fourth level. For life soul beasts, their level is at most one level higher than Lin Luowen's, and they only need to use a hoop realm technique in the Ministry of Extermination, so that they can't break through under normal circumstances. Because one more level, there may be unfettered and uncontrolled situations.

Lin Luowen, who returned to the school gate, looked at the blood swords staggered by the two huge circular pillars and walked in.

I went back to my apartment and got a good night's sleep. When I woke up, it was already the next morning. He gets a good night's sleep after every mission.

In the morning, Lin Luowen opened the doors and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony. The glow of an August morning shines through.

Olivia wore an emerald green off-the-shoulder dress with some moire and glitter embellishments on it. The black curls are trimmed a bit to keep it cool in the summer heat. Her face was elegant and comfortable, tall and seductively curved, wearing sapphire blue heeled sandals with some bright red on her toes. She was the first to come in, sitting on the couch and putting her right leg on her left leg and squeezing up some flesh. There is a faint smell of perfume on her body.

Maias has a muscular body, wears a cool king-size tank top, and shorts on his feet, revealing a lot of leg hair. He stood on the balcony, soaking up the morning sun.

Odette wore a black chiffon skirt with small white lapels and ruffles, and a white beret with a thin black belt on her head, with a polka dot matrix pattern on the skirt. She sat next to Lin Luowen and was able to smell the scent of some flowers.

Scardy, who was the last to enter, was dressed in a pale pink wide-fitting dress, her cold and delicate features gave another impression under this dress, and she wore a translucent hat that hid some pale blue tied up hair.

Lin Luowen brought out the last dishes, put them on the table, and they began the meal.
