Chapter 30: Eye of Fate

Three days later, the east gate of Slake Academy.

Su Yun Tian stretched lazily, having traveled for two days, and was indeed a bit tired.

He didn't rush to absorb the Living Gold that the system had rewarded earlier; instead he returned to the academy, planning to have Tianmeng Bingcan intervene to cover it, which should pose no problem.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest harbors many powerful soul beasts, especially the ferocious ones.

If they found out, even with an auspicious beast blocking beside them, I would still get nothing good.

At this moment, many people had already arrived at Slake Academy; although it was already evening, the gate was bustling.

After habitually greeting Mu En, Su Yun Tian returned to Dormitory.

As soon as he pushed the door open, dust billowed onto his face.

It hadn't been inhabited for a month; the once clean bed was now covered in dust.

Wang Dong hadn't returned, so he had to tidy up himself first.

After spending a few minutes cleaning, Su Yun Tian let his consciousness sink into the Spirit Sea.

"Brother Tianmeng, stop sleeping. Can you block the outside world? I need to absorb the Living Gold."

Tianmeng Bingcan reluctantly woke from his slumber and rubbed his eyes.

"Little Su Yun Tian, where did you get this wonderful Living Gold?"

"Don't worry about that for now; can you block it?" Su Yun Tian urged.

"Of course, leave it to me!" Tianmeng Bingcan smiled proudly, and a golden pattern on his body lit up.

A myriad of pale blue light specks drifted out from Su Yun Tian's body, quickly forming a field that enveloped Dormitory.

"All set, Little Su Yun Tian, it's done; even that Extreme Douluo outside the gate won't be able to see inside."

Tianmeng Bingcan said wearily.

"Thanks, Brother Tianmeng," Su Yun Tian nodded in gratitude, then took from the system space a piece of Living Gold larger than his head.

The moment he drew it out, an overwhelmingly domineering and almost tangible surge of life force burst forth.

To say without exaggeration, if it weren't for Tianmeng Bingcan's spirit power shielding, the life force emitted by the Living Gold right now could certainly envelop the entire Shilaike City!

After all, Living Gold can be said to be condensed from the purest life force.

Seeing this, Tianmeng Bingcan's eyeballs were about to pop out.

"Th-this... such a huge piece of Living Gold! Did you turn the entire Douluo Continent upside down?!"

In reality, even if the continent were turned upside down, none that large could be found.

In the original work, Illex had explicitly stated that even with Tianmeng Bingcan's million-year life force, at most only a tear-sized piece of Living Gold could be condensed.

Bing Di and Qian Renxue also looked at him in astonishment.

Although Qian Renxue didn't know what Living Gold was, from the almost tangible life force, it was clearly a treasure.

Within a few breaths, Su Yun Tian felt his body extremely comfortable, as if bathed in sunlight.

All his pores opened, greedily absorbing the pure life force.

"Yun Tian, with such a large piece of Living Gold, be careful and don't be too greedy," Bing Di said gravely.

After all, this thing can backfire.

In the original, that golden tortoiseshell creature stole a piece of Living Gold from the Silver Dragon King, intending to absorb it.

But because it couldn't sustain the massive life force, its body was damaged, ultimately giving Xu Sanshi an advantage.

"Don't worry, Bing Di, I will," Su Yun Tian knew without Bing Di saying it; he couldn't bear to die.

Then, placing the Living Gold on the ground, Su Yun Tian began to wholeheartedly absorb the life force emanating from it.

As waves of life force surged into his body, the vertical pupil pattern on his forehead also emerged.

His surface continuously emitted a teal glow, and he could clearly feel his meridians becoming more elastic.

His five organs and six viscera grew tough, and his entire skeleton became extremely hard.

This also meant his body could withstand stronger soul power impacts.

The green light continuously washed his body, and strands of grime were quickly expelled from his pores.

Undoubtedly, Su Yun Tian, who possessed the Six-winged Angel and Sea God Martial Soul, and later gained the fusion of Tianmeng Bingcan and Bing Di.

His bodily strength was obvious, yet it still increased at this moment.

The benefits of Living Gold to his body far surpassed everything he had previously obtained.

It wasn't over; a massive influx of life force poured into the unformed vertical pupil, turning the original golden pattern into blue.

The two lights interlaced, forming a very peculiar cyan‑gold hue.

Su Yun Tian knew his third eye was fully completed, and under that massive energy shock his soul power level also reached 36, after which he retrieved the Living Gold, as it was sufficient.

Within the Spirit Sea.

At this moment, the massive life force caused the entire Spirit Sea to expand again, and a golden vertical pupil appeared in the sky, seemingly surveying everything.

Qian Renxue felt her divine consciousness being continuously nourished and showed a hint of joy.

"I didn't expect this life force could even repair my divine consciousness; if I refine the external life force, I should be able to employ some methods!"

Outside, the Fate Eye on Su Yun Tian's forehead silently vanished.

He touched his forehead and smiled contentedly.

"I didn't expect that after merging with massive life force, several soul skills also emerged."

Fate's Tragedy: Ignores all defenses; upon hitting, makes the target's body extremely weak.

Fate Control: Alters a person's destiny; the larger the alteration, the more soul power it consumes.

Fate Erasure, the ultimate offensive soul skill.

It can directly erase everything about the target in the past, present, and future timelines, causing their death.

However, it consumes an enormous amount of soul power and has many restrictions; the stronger the opponent's fortune, the harder it is to cast.

For example, if Su Yun Tian used it directly on Huo Yuhao, relying on Huo Yuhao's luck, he would likely suffer a backlash!

This trip really was full of gains.

Soon after, Su Yun Tian stood up from the bed, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also lifted its barrier.

Outside the house, a knocking sound suddenly rang out.

Su Yun Tian was startled; he was in the academy and seemed to have few friends, right?

How could anyone come looking for him?

If it were Wang Dong, he would certainly just push the door open and come in.

Thinking that, Su Yun Tian, puzzled, opened the door, and what met his eyes was the dean of the martial soul department, Yan Shaozhe!

"Dean Yan, why are you here?" Although a bit regretful, Su Yun Tian still stepped out and asked curiously.

"Yun Tian, there are some matters I need to tell you. Come, follow me," Yan Shaozhe said seriously.

Su Yun Tian's confusion grew larger in his heart.

He followed Yan Shaozhe all the way to the edge of Sea God Lake.

Going further inside would be the inner courtyard.

"Let's go, follow me to the inner courtyard," Yan Shaozhe glanced back at Su Yun Tian, his body lifted, soaring across the lake surface, stirring up a spray of waves.

Seeing this, Su Yun Tian quickly spread his wings and flew with Yan Shaozhe toward the central island in the lake.
