Li Ling sat on the bench in his room, tremblingly picked up the kettle on the table, poured a cup of cold tea, and drank it all, recalling everything that happened in the back mountain, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

Although Li Ling, who was hiding behind a tree, couldn't hear the conversation between the young man and the monster clearly, he saw the whole process of their battle. Both sides were wounded repeatedly, and after barely repairing with their own healing methods, they returned to more brutal combat.

The young man's purple and blue swords gradually crumbled under the constant swing at great speed, leaving more and more deadly wounds on Kunpeng's body at the expense of this. Kunpeng is resurrected again and again in more and more strange ways, but he also becomes weaker in the process.

Li Ling couldn't know why they fought desperately and tried their best to control each other to death, but the slightest aftermath that leaked from behind the blue barrier could make his heart palpitate for a long time. So he also thought about turning away from this battlefield, but he was always able to inexplicably persuade himself to stay and witness all this with his own eyes.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for an unknown amount of time, and finally the young man burned his own life, detonating all the blood-red runes around him, and a terrifying torrent of energy destroyed the body of the void creature and completely wiped it out from the timeline.

After the fall of the void creature that called itself "Kunpeng", the shattered reality space began to be bridged, and the void rift was also closed, and all the strange scenes before were as if they had never happened, and the surrounding area returned to the woods and meadows of the mountains behind the Pure Yang Gate.

However, the young man who won the battle was tired and kneeling on the ground at this time, half of his body was charred and carbonized, and the purple and blue swords in his hands were shattered to the point that only the stump remained. In order to kill Kunpeng, he paid a heavy price.

"Xuan ......" the young man coughed lightly, but there was silence all around, and no one responded to him. He used the last of his strength to pull out a relaxed smile and muttered, "Am I dying?"

As soon as the words fell, the aura suspended above his head suddenly made a "click" sound, and it suddenly broke into several pieces, and the bright golden light gradually faded. And the young man fell to the ground as if he had lost his last support, his eyes empty and unfocused.

At this moment, the portable defensive talisman array that the young man had laid out in advance was also lifted, and the pale blue barrier disappeared like melting snow. But Li Ling still didn't dare to approach rashly, just walked towards the young man tentatively little by little, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he become a little bolder.

Squatting down and trying the young man's snort, Li Ling sighed and reached out to close his eyes. Although he didn't know the young man's persistence and reason for fighting, after all, one side was a monster and the other side was a human, and Li Ling could still stand on the right side.

Originally, Li Ling wanted to leave, but it was really unbearable to see the dead young man exposed to the wilderness like this. Adhering to the idea of going into the ground for peace, Li Ling picked up the remnant sword in the young man's hand, and it took more than two hours to dig a simple deep pit. As for the messy and mostly damaged things on the young man's body, Li Ling was not interested, and put them all beside him to prepare for burial together.

However, just when Li Ling was about to touch the broken ring on the top of the young man's head, something unexpected happened.

"The system has been successfully rebooted, and the soul link with the host is being established, and there may be some pain in the process, so please stay calm. A woman's voice suddenly sounded in Li Ling's mind.

"Who? who is talking?" Li Ling was startled and looked around, fortunately he could distinguish the gender from the voice, otherwise he thought it was a young man who had deceived the corpse.

"The host can call me Xuan. She politely introduced herself.

Li Ling was just about to speak, when suddenly a tingling pain came from his brain, as if his brain had been pricked with a needle, and the pain was so painful that he almost didn't lose his breath.

Host? It's really a strange name, it can't be some kind of parasite, right? But how can a parasite speak? Li Ling covered his forehead and belly and sneered.

"I am an intelligent living being, not a pathogenic lower eukaryotic organism like a parasite. There was some imperceptible grievance in Xuan's voice.

"You can also read minds?!" Li Ling was stunned, feeling that his privacy had been violated.

"After I established a soul connection with the host, I was naturally able to receive the host's mental information. Xuan replied seriously.

Li Ling still didn't quite understand what Xuan meant, and asked, "Are you an intelligent life form? What is that, an alien?"

Xuan was silent for a moment, perhaps bewildered by Li Ling's imagination, she organized her language and said, "Actually, the host can understand me as a machine spirit, or an artificial intelligence. ”

"One last question," Li Ling raised his hand like a schoolboy and asked, "although it is a little rude, I still want to say, what does all this have to do with me?

"Because you have inherited the Treasure of Merit - the aura of the protagonist. ”

Li Ling retracted his thoughts, the cold tea finally calmed him down a lot, and there was too much information he received that night. First of all, the predecessor of the traverser, Dong Xuzi, and then the earth-shattering battle between the mysterious young man and the monster of another dimension, and the Xuan who called himself a machine spirit.

Li Ling reached out and took out the broken ring from his arms and put it on the table, originally wanting to bury it with the young man, but he left the ring by mistake.

Lighting the candle in the room, Li Ling carefully observed the ring, which had obviously broken into several pieces, but it could still maintain the ring. Each fragment seemed to be drawn to each other, an invisible force that condensed it.

"The protagonist's halo ......" Li Ling muttered the name of the halo, although he felt strange nonsense, but he had indeed seen how powerful the young man with the halo above his head was.

"Xuan. Li Ling tried to call into the air, maybe he was just too nervous in the back mountain at that time, and he had auditory hallucinations?

"Host. Li Ling's idea failed to come true, and Xuan really responded.

Li Ling scratched his head helplessly, and quickly accepted this fact: "You say that I have inherited the aura of the protagonist, what does this mean?"

"Because the previous host of the protagonist's aura has died, I, as a machine spirit, have chosen a new host, which is you, who was closest to the aura at that time. Xuan patiently explained, "The protagonist's aura is a powerful merit treasure with many magical functions. ”

Xuan said as he showed some concise and clear operation interfaces in front of Li Ling's eyes.

"Oh!" Li Ling suddenly became interested, and asked a little eagerly, "Then what aura functions can I use now?"

"Due to the severe damage to the aura, there is only one function that can be used by the host at the moment. Xuan's tone was slightly apologetic.

However, Li Ling also expressed his understanding, seeing that this halo is about to fall apart, it is like a scrapped iPhone, and it would be good to be able to turn it on successfully.

Li Ling searched carefully, and on the interface that Xuan showed him, the only function that lit up and marked that it could be used was called:

Random Equipment drawn.

"Every day, the host has a chance to draw for free.,The trial time of random equipment is three minutes.,The host can use it at will within three minutes.,But if it's more than three minutes, you'll be charged a certain amount of protagonist value.。 Xuan had a businesslike tone.

"How can I say that I can only hold on for three minutes...... Li Ling had a strange expression, and then asked, "What is the value of this protagonist?"

"The host can understand the protagonist value as the energy that drives the protagonist's aura, and many functions in the aura need to consume the protagonist's value, and the host can also use the protagonist value to repair the aura and unlock new permissions and functions. ”

"Then how else do I get the protagonist value?" asked Li Ling.

"The aura will randomly release some quests, and the host can get the protagonist value reward when they complete the quest. ”

"Understood. Li Ling nodded, the interface and setting of this protagonist's aura are a bit similar to RPG games, they are all rewards for completing tasks.

After accepting the aura of the protagonist, Li Ling was full of interest, rubbed his hands and said: "It's not in a hurry to task or something, let me try the function first!"

He silently recited the phrase "random equipment extraction" in his heart, and the broken aura on the table suddenly lit up, and Li Ling's palm gave birth to a little shimmer, and finally converged into a round object with a handle, dark and dull with a metallic luster-

A frying pan with a price tag of 88 yuan!

"Random equipment drawing, anything is possible. Xuan explained dryly.

"What about playing with me......" Li Ling wiped his face and looked at the pan in his hand, there was actually a long list of introductions at the bottom of the pot, "The pan has an extra damage bonus to wolf-type creatures, and there is a chance to block bullets when worn on the back waist?"

What kind of mess is this Big Gray Wolf and PUBG!

Three minutes later, the pan disappeared very punctually, and Li Ling's interest seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water.

After tossing for a while, Li Ling only felt that his eyelids were heavy, after all, it was already late at night when he came out of the Cave Void Pavilion, let alone watching the battle in the back mountain for so long. He took the halo into his arms with a sleepy face, yawned, collapsed on the bed without bothering to take off his coat, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Early the next morning, Li Ling sat on the breakfast stall with heavy dark circles under his eyes, blowing the cold wind of early winter, snoring and drinking hot sweet tofu brain, and his face was full of getting up. Originally, Li Ling wanted to sleep more and be lazy, but Liu Qingyun couldn't wake him up at the door, and he was just about to give up, when Hua Zhiyu rushed into his room with Xiaoguo in his hand. And under the bewitchment of Hua Zhiyu, Xiaoguo lifted Li Ling's quilt with a handful, and woke up instantly, which was very effective.

At this moment, the culprit was sitting on Tang Tang's lap, eating fried buns with his mouth full of oil, and Hua Zhiyu had long since disappeared.

"Ling'er, did you sleep late last night?" asked Liu Qingyun with great concern. Su Mingxue, who was beside her, chewed slowly and slowly on the corn cob in her hand, glanced at Li Ling and handed over a curious look.

Li Ling chewed a mouthful of fritters, waved his hand and said, "I didn't pay attention to the time when I cultivated, and I stayed up late." ”

When Tang Tang heard this, he opened the Tianming Temple: "You actually really comprehended the "Pure Yang Jue"?"
