Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 94: Sublimation

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Sublimation

Jing Shiyu looked at Lin Xing with a gentle gaze, noticing the constant changes in his eye color. She asked with concern, "What’s wrong with you?"

"I..." Lin Xing’s palm trembled slightly, as if he had already replayed in his mind the scene of suddenly grabbing hold of the other person, attempting to slowly twist their neck and break it.

Jing Shiyu slightly smiled and, holding Lin Xing’s hand, said, "Lin Xing, in the past others tried to protect me just like you. Back then, I couldn’t do anything but watch them die."

"But today is different, I am much stronger now. I can choose what to do for myself."

She leaned in close to Lin Xing, exhaling a breath that carried a hint of warmth across Lin Xing’s ear.

"In a minute, I’ll use Spiritual Energy to throw you up there, and with your skills, you should be able to climb up the cliff."

"Don’t worry about me. Jing Yuwei and I were taught by the same master, she wouldn’t dare to actually harm me."

Looking at Jing Shiyu’s pale yet warm face at that moment, Lin Xing froze on the spot.

Her gentle gaze was like a clear spring that gradually melted away the slight murderous intent rising in his heart, even making him feel an intense guilt about the thoughts he had just had.

At the same time, Bai Yiyi’s voice arose in his heart, "Cough, cough."

"Don’t listen to her, Lin Xing."

"I, Master Bai, have a clever strategy to help you break out of this perilous situation."

Meanwhile, as the poison smoke gradually enveloped Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu, Zhang Tiande exhaled a white breath and charged like lightning.

"Unwilling to surrender?" Zhang Tiande coldly said, "Then don’t blame me for my ruthless actions."

Under the cover of the poison smoke, Zhang Tiande could only make out the vague silhouettes of Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu.

But for an expert like him, such visibility was enough to fight.

The spear heavily collided with the Puppet Girl, and Zhang Tiande could clearly feel that Lin Xing’s strength was rapidly fading.

On the other side, Jing Shiyu and Jing Yuwei’s eyes flickered with light, having activated the Dharma Eye technique.

Accompanied by the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, it allowed them to see through the poison smoke, clearly making out the terrain and the rough outlines of people.

A series of crackling explosive sounds rang out as their Spiritual Energies collided within the poison smoke.

Jing Yuwei, sensing her opponent’s retreat, revealed a hint of pleasure in her eyes, "It’s almost over."

On the other side, Zhang Tiande gripped the spear in another clash with the Puppet Girl, feeling that Lin Xing was almost at the point of losing strength.

Watching Lin Xing’s figure rapidly retreating, soon to disappear into the dense poison smoke, Zhang Tiande declared.

"You can’t run, Lin Xing."

With a roar, Zhang Tiande pursued him and once more sighted the blurred figure.

Watching the black shadow of the puppet charging again through the poison smoke, Zhang Tiande’s spear roared like an angry dragon, sweeping viciously towards the shadow.

With a loud bang, the moment the spear hit the shadow, Zhang Tiande felt something was off.

"What is this..."

Inside the poison smoke, the Puppet Girl and Lin Xing had somehow switched places.

At that moment, it was the Puppet Girl who had picked up Lin Xing and swung him towards Zhang Tiande, colliding heavily with the spear.

Seeing the spear smash Lin Xing’s head, Bai Yiyi burst into laughter, "Hahaha, good disciple! At a crucial moment, you still need your master..."

Through the haze, Lin Xing only heard Bai Yiyi’s words spread in his heart before he lost consciousness completely.

When he regained consciousness, he found that time had been reversed, and Zhang Tiande and Jing Yuwei were slowly approaching with the spreading of the poison smoke.

Watching this scene, Lin Xing’s mouth curled into a slight smile, "It worked."

"Master Bai, it’s all up to you now."

Bai Yiyi, who had been silent until now, hummed softly, still thinking Lin Xing was commenting on the toughness of the Puppet Girl.

Lin Xing simply sat down and began to practice the art of meditation.

He thought to himself, "To break the situation at hand, I must fully utilize my time reversal superpower."

"While not changing the opportunities and nodes of time reversal, make the most of each chance after reversing time."

"The best way to do this is through cultivation."

"As long as my strength becomes strong enough to kill them all, or to snatch the antidote from them and break out."

"Then this situation will be broken."

Thus, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lin Xing had entered into a meditative trance.

When the poison smoke enveloped him, he tried his best to replicate the combat process from right before the last time reversal.

Death after death, session after session of meditation, he strived to replicate the same process of combat.

Lin Xing’s meditation skills also continuously improved.

Meditation (Level 2 - 52.8%)

Meditation (Level 2 - 75.6%)

Meditation (Level 3 - 0%)

Outside was a desperate siege, while his inner heart harbored conflicting desires to kill, and what he had to do was a battle process that allowed for no errors.

Under this unprecedented pressure, Lin Xing struggled to maintain the serenity in his heart, keeping his state of deep meditation.

He felt that his speed of improvement in meditation was becoming even faster under such tremendous pressure and crisis.

Finally, as tiredness grew in his heart, he achieved the final breakthrough in his meditation.

Meditation (Level 4 - 0%)

With the breakthrough to the fourth level of meditation, Lin Xing could feel his own insight into himself becoming deeper and clearer.

He could distinctly sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy in his sea of consciousness and was able to quantify that invisible force as some precise value.

Spiritual Energy: 1.5 Elders

"I can now clearly feel that my current spiritual energy can exert about the strength of 1.5 elders."

"This is much stronger than when I first gained spiritual energy, probably because of my breakthroughs in the Object Manipulation Skill and meditation that enhanced my spiritual energy."

And under such immense pressure, breaking through two levels of meditation in one breath also made Lin Xing feel waves of fatigue.

But he knew he could not stop now. Even after reaching the fourth level of meditation, he had not gained the decisive increase in combat power.

"The next step is the sublimation of skills."

Taking out the statue wearing a bridal gown and covered by a red cloth from his backpack, Lin Xing, with his physical body and spiritual energy erupting together, directly crushed the evil artifact.

Expertly absorbing the black qi that rushed out from the artifact, Lin Xing directed the black qi towards the light in his mind that signified his meditation skill.

As countless indecipherable and unmemorable characters were born within it, he also gained a new skill sublimation.

Intuition Fluctuations: With the rhythm of one’s own breathing, spiritual energy will rise and fall unpredictably.

"This..."

Sensing the information of this sublimation, Lin Xing momentarily did not know whether it was good or bad.

Regardless, this was definitely not the skill sublimation he needed.

To advance to the second inheritance of Sword Hero, Lin Xing’s goal for meditation skill sublimation should be Endless Sea of Qi.

But given the current dire situation and the growing fatigue after two breakthroughs in meditation, it was unclear how many more times he could sustain time reversal.

So he was not fixated on obtaining Endless Sea of Qi this time.

Lin Xing thought to himself: "As long as it is strong enough, strong enough to break the current dilemma, even if it’s not Endless Sea of Qi, I’ll accept it."
