Chapter Index

    190 resonance points!

    This was a terrifying number.

    Through training and combat, Shen Ye had improved his strength, agility, spiritual power, and even his comprehension.

    However, the increase in resonance points had only ever been a byproduct.

    This was the first time he had seen it grow autonomously.

    —And it had grown so much all at once!

    Shen Ye pondered for a moment and began to understand.

    Back when he was still with the Human Martial Arts Group, someone had specifically explained resonance points to Shen Ye.

    Resonance points referred to “recognition.”

    It was also the affinity between a person and all things.

    —Meaning “mutual recognition.”

    So, putting aside other attributes, just focusing on “resonance points”—

    It might not be how great he himself was, but rather the immense influence of those historical heroes.

    Their recognition of him contributed to the increase in “recognition points.”

    Each person giving him a pat on the back added “+1” to his resonance.

    The Law World accepted their recognition.

    That’s why his “resonance points” skyrocketed to 190.

    It was said that the higher the resonance, the more one could unleash the power of weapons, armor, skills, and various items.

    —This was an unexpected gain.

    Shen Ye’s mind stirred, and he immediately left the Sect Master’s Tome.

    He returned to the dark tunnel.

    Lilith was still guarding him, and as soon as she saw him, she began to mutter:

    “Let’s find a safe place to hide. This tomb is too dangerous.”

    “No, you continue to protect my classmates,” Shen Ye said.

    Lilith stared at him, then her tone suddenly softened:

    “Shen Ye, it was my fault for forcing you to gamble with me. You don’t have to keep sulking.”

    “I’m not sulking,” Shen Ye said.

    “I don’t want to deal with so much weak trash,” Lilith growled impatiently.

    “—Not everyone is born with all sorts of privileged conditions. The next time I hear you say something like that, I won’t ask the teacher; I’ll kill you directly and avenge all the innocent people.”

    “I’m telling you for the last time, go protect them, now.”

    Shen Ye commanded.

    Killing intent…

    His killing intent was so heavy.

    Does he really want to kill me?

    Lilith ground her teeth resentfully, her figure flashed, and she headed back towards the Lake Island.

    Shen Ye scoffed, about to continue exploring deeper into the tomb, but after a few steps, he suddenly saw something jump off him.

    —It was the Sect Master’s Tome again!

    It directly flipped to the third page, revealing the empty grand hall.

    Lines of faint glowing text appeared:

    “Training Room.”

    “An independent isolated space.”

    “Time flow ratio with the outside world:”

    “1:12.”

    “—Originally boosted to 1:8 by the heroes, but your extremely high resonance can fully activate all the power of this training room, without any omissions.”

    It seemed the heroes still left the training room for him.

    This was a good thing.

    Spend twelve hours inside, and only one hour passes outside.

    —From now on, when I have time, I’ll train here!

    Shen Ye put away the Sect Master’s Tome and continued to speed through the tunnel.

    Suddenly.

    A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, causing him to almost crash into the rock wall, forcing him to stumble a few steps before he regained his balance.

    “Wait!”

    “It’s not entirely without hope, maybe this way…”

    To a Human, to become an Emperor Class Cosmic Worm of “Lord of Dark Devour”, he needs all attributes to reach 200 points!

    He had no hope at all.

    But—

    “How much time do I have left?” Shen Ye asked in a deep voice.

    Faint light appeared as small text:

    “You have twenty minutes to complete this advancement.”

    “After twenty minutes, the residual effect of the magic power will completely disappear, the Law World will revoke this recognition, and you will lose this advancement opportunity.”

    —It was half an hour just now.

    Sending off those heroes from past eras took about ten minutes.

    That left twenty minutes…

    With a time flow difference of 1:12, he could stay in the training room for 4 hours!

    It depends on human effort.

    “Door.”

    Shen Ye immediately opened a door and directly went to the underground secret passage of the Nightmare World.

    Compared to hell and the tomb, it was relatively safe here.

    “Big Skeleton.”

    “I’m here, what’s wrong?”

    “Protect this book. I need to go in for a bit. Don’t disturb me unless there’s danger.”

    “Okay.”

    The Big Skeleton appeared from the ring, concealed its aura, held the Sect Master’s Tome, and crouched motionless deep in the secret passage.

    Shen Ye directly entered the Sect Master’s Tome.

    He stood in the grand hall, and faint light appeared as text around him:

    “You have four hours to complete this advancement.”

    This will do!

    The time flow here is indeed slower!

    Then let’s try it.

    Shen Ye immediately invested all his free attribute points into comprehension, getting 44.1 comprehension points.

    Such a number, Shen Ye couldn’t even imagine before.

    But after using that drop of blood, the feeling of comprehending the mysteries of the universe lingered in his mind for a long time.

    At this moment, he felt that the understanding brought by the 44.1 comprehension points was “stupid.”

    Shen Ye casually gestured, releasing a shard of ice as a mirror.

    “The Lifeless Soul Master is divided into two branches: one is the Living Soul Master, and the other is the Lifeless Master.”

    “My ‘Night Wanderer’ profession has ‘Frost Moon Shakes the Heavens,’ ‘Sudden Rain,’ and ‘Soul Slaying Guide’—”

    “The Lifeless Master, however, only has one professional skill.”

    “So, I only need to focus on training the ‘Me in the Mirror’ skill.”

    “The problem is—”

    “Although this skill gives me two lives, it has no offensive capabilities.”

    “As the foundation of the profession…”

    “It’s definitely more than just that.”

    Shen Ye formed a hand seal and cast “Me in the Mirror.”

    Faint light appeared as text:

    “You consumed 5 points of spiritual power to cast this spell.”

    There was no reaction around him.

    —Unless there was a mirror, he couldn’t see any movement from this spell at all.

    “Is the mirror’s rule the key…”

    He muttered to himself, then dispelled the spell.

    During the casting, with 44.1 points of “comprehension,” he gained a deeper understanding of this spell.

    After much thought—

    Shen Ye once again brought his hands together and released the “Me in the Mirror” spell.

    Still no fluctuations.

    But he knew that a completely reversed body was in a ready state, available for use at any time.

    “Consumed another 5 points of spiritual power.”

    —Casting a spell once costs 5 spiritual power.

    Then his spiritual power would be exhausted after two more uses.

    He didn’t even need four hours!

    —This was an impossible mission!

    Shen Ye took a deep breath, composed himself, closed his eyes, and meditated on a way to break the situation.

    No.

    He couldn’t think of a solution.

    He simply stopped thinking about it, and instead reached out to form a magic seal and cast the spell again.

    The spell was successful.

    More insights flooded his mind.

    …It’s not enough, I still need to hone the skill further.

    But looking up, faint light gathered into small text:

    “Consumed another 5 points of spiritual power.”

    “Current remaining spiritual power: 5 points.”

    Only one chance left!

    He thought carefully, wondering if there was any other way.

    Shen Ye walked back and forth in the training room for a while, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

    He had an idea.

    He thought of a method, but wasn’t sure if it would work.

    Shen Ye reached out and summoned the Broad Cold Frost, turning it into a mirror of ice.

    In the mirror, another him silently appeared.

    The Reversed Body!

    At this moment, it could not be summoned to the real world, nor could it withstand the blood of the Emperor Species.

    —But its spiritual power was full!

    Full mana!

    It can’t come, but I can go!

    His only request was to practice the skill, not to bring it to the real world!

    Shen Ye took a step and directly entered the mirror of ice.

    This was an attached power of “Me in the Mirror,” allowing the caster to exist in any mirror.

    —Since the Reversed Body cannot come to the real world, then I will go to the mirror world to find it!

    However, with two bodies simultaneously in the mirror, a natural repulsion occurred—

    “You cannot have two bodies exist simultaneously in the mirror; one body must be placed in the outside world.”

    Shen Ye unhesitatingly put his original body back into the training room.

    He used the Reversed Body, remaining in the mirror!

    He checked the attributes.

    Spiritual power 20 points!

    He could continue to cast “Me in the Mirror.”

    One more cast, one more chance to comprehend!

    Shen Ye formed a hand seal, and with a surge of spiritual power, immediately activated the spell.

    At this point, he discovered something very strange—

    The reversed body could reverse various skills, but it could not reverse the fundamental skill “Me in the Mirror”!

    Time slowly passed.

    Soon.

    Shen Ye had cast “Me in the Mirror” three more times.

    —Still not enough!

    He needed to practice more to deepen his understanding!

    But now his original body had zero spiritual power, and his reversed body only had 5 spiritual power left.

    What to do?

    Originally, practicing such mind-intensive moves was a very troublesome matter.

    The most typical example is mages—

    They need a long time to meditate in magic towers to restore their mana, and then they can gradually master spells.

    —Any skill must be mastered through extensive practice.

    Only when the quantity is reached will there be a qualitative change.

    This is the truth of practicing skills.

    Even if “comprehension” can shorten this process, it cannot make the process disappear.

    “What to do…”

    Shen Ye rubbed his hands, troubled, and squatted on the ground with a worried expression.

    He checked the time.

    Almost half an hour had passed.

    Originally, there was no hope at all, so it didn’t matter.

    Now that he had an idea, he had to watch this Emperor Class profession slip away from him.

    This was painful.

    Shen Ye hardened his resolve and grumbled:

    “If I can’t think of a solution, I’ll stop breathing!”

    One minute.

    Two minutes.

    Three minutes.

    “Pfft—ha-ch-ch-hiss—”

    He gasped greedily for fresh air, mouth wide open.

    Forget it.

    There’s really no way.

    —Even if he took pills to restore mana, he could only do it once or twice in a short time; any more and his body wouldn’t be able to handle it.

    Let go of unrealistic fantasies.

    Shen Ye sighed, placed his hand on the surface of the ice mirror, and prepared to return to the real world.

    The moment his hand touched the ice mirror, his entire body suddenly froze.

    Mirror…

    That’s right!

    Mirror!!!

    After taking up this profession, he had more than once secretly grumbled that “Lifeless Master” was not as strong as “Living Soul Master.”

    After all, “Living Soul Master” could take on countless professions, truly becoming an army by himself!

    But at this moment, the instant Shen Ye’s hand lightly touched the ice mirror—

    The terrifying truth hidden behind “Lifeless Master” suddenly became clear to him, causing him to tremble all over, and even his soul fell into a deep tremor.
