Chapter 1207

(Just like thoughts stagnating.

Also like the soul being stripped away from the body.

During the rule's completion, Lin An only felt his thoughts as if wandering outside his body, observing himself from a third-person perspective.

This feeling was extremely like the Fourth Stage state, but slightly different.

Isn't it about pouring the grasped information into one's thoughts?

Feeling the subtle changes within his body, Lin An was slightly startled; he clearly sensed that this rule's completion was more like implanting an instinct into the body.

No need for him to understand, no need for him to master; it can be used naturally.

During the long wait, many Awakened Ones couldn't help but frequently glance at him standing still; everyone looked curious, and many secretly guessed what he had exchanged.

Almost every battle zone estimated how many points Lin An had obtained! Although we didn't know Lei En was him, in the estimates, at least it was two hundred thousand!

Such points, worthy of being called astronomical numbers, made all envious Awakened Ones wish they could take his place.

He ignored the greedy expressions around him.

Only after seven or eight minutes did Lin An somewhat unfamiliarly take control of his body, and without changing his expression, he exchanged for a room.

Unbeknownst to anyone, beneath his calm exterior lay a hard-to-describe astonishment and shock.

So the Eternal Body... actually is this ability!

Seeing Lin An suddenly leave without taking anything, the entire hall instantly became noisy:

「What did he exchange!? Why isn't there any equipment? 」

「Could it be a skill? 」

「I think it's an attribute! 」

「Damn, I really want to know what Lin An exchanged! I think his secret to being that strong is likely knowing how to maximize his own strength! 」

Among the crowd, several Awakened Ones from the Huaxia theater exchanged a covert glance.

Unlike these ordinary Awakened Ones' simple guesses, they seemed to have realized something, their looks quite solemn.

「The target's strength seems to be approaching the Fourth Stage! 」

「Lin An didn't exchange regular props! 」

Through the system's private chat function, within the Huaxia theater, several officers discussing subsequent battle plans flashed a strange color in their eyes; a vertical gold hue flickered in their pupils and vanished.

Inside the fully sealed soundproof room, Lin An slowly clenched his fists, his facial expression shifting.

「So this is how it is.. so this is the rule！？」

As he instinctively used the rule completion, a trace of temporal power like a transparent film continually shifted across his body surface, resembling a spacetime bubble.

「Without fully mastering the rule, only fusion away from its materialization! 」

A rare expression of exhilaration.

Lin An took a deep breath and turned off 89% of the Eternal Body progress bar.

Although it differed somewhat from expectations, it was still reasonable. Even if the system-auto-completed rule required no time to digest, once fused and fully mastered, he would still need to acclimate to it.

「State Constancy (Weak)」

「Upon use, it fixes the body's state at a past moment; within thirty seconds, no negative effects will interfere! 」

「Furthermore, after it ends, it directly dispels all negative states and regenerates the limbs! 」

Carefully sensing the first rule, Lin An's eyes involuntarily flashed a gleam.

Undoubtedly, the first rule alone is half a Hell's strengthened version, also possessing a spirit-energy shield trait.

No consumption, rule-level.

Unless a time rule of low level or higher forcibly breaks it, any negative effect is ineffective against him!

From the rule effects of Supernatural Incidents to the negative traits of curse-type skills, within those thirty seconds he will always maintain perfect combat power!

「After it ends, restoring the state, this is almost like gaining an extra life... 」

Suppressing the odd feeling in his heart, Lin An simply tested the next ability.

「Flow speed control... 」

「Consuming rule power, directly accelerating one's own time flow speed. Maximum flow speed range: plus/minus 1.9 times... 」

His brows furrowed slightly.

Lin An silently pondered the rule's effects, and his raised right hand instantly activated the flow speed control ability.

Plus/minus 1.9 times, isn't that equivalent to double-enhanced recovery, speed, and reaction?

This rule is rather simple and brutal, directly boosting combat power.

Let's try it!

However, just a moment later, Lin An's heart sank as he discovered it had no effect.

This is...

A few seconds later, a look of speechlessness flashed across his face.

He forgot, he fundamentally has no rule power in his body.

Only the Fourth Stage possesses rule power, and one needs two rules to advance. So, this rule he actually cannot use for now.

He shook his head, Lin An gave a wry smile, and didn't care.

Forget it, if he doesn't have it, just look at the next one.

「Spacetime superposition.. 」

「Just hearing the name, it's quite special. 」

「Can superimpose time within a small area. 」

Pondering the rule's traits, after a few seconds Lin An also found it hard to grasp the concrete meaning; so he simply released it likewise onto his right hand.

「Hum」

Accompanied by a spatial ripple, he saw the air above his right hand twist slightly. After a moment, there was no further reaction.

Huh?

Useless?

That shouldn't be...

After activating it again, Lin An felt only that the air in his hand seemed slightly heavier, with no other effect.

Stroking his chin, he touched upon a realm he had never set foot in; Lin An's thoughts raced, and only after a while did he conjecture a possibility.

"Superimposing space, does it mean stacking everything within the range together?"

"I have nothing in my hand, so I can only superimpose the air within the space?"

"If that's the case..."

Without Hesitation.

Lin An directly evoked an Arcane Orb in his palm, the dark purple Arcane power spinning at extreme speed, faintly revealing a destructive aura within.

"Superimpose!"

"Hum!"

Upon activating the spacetime superimposition and Arcane Torrent again, in an instant a blinding light filled the entire room. It seemed as if it were being devoured, the original Arcane Orb actually shrank a bit, and the originally dense energy cluster was compressed again.

"Heavy!"

Feeling the Arcane Torrent that was almost about to explode, Lin An was suddenly startled.

"As expected, power can be superimposed! Moreover, the effect of superimposition is obviously greater than that of two separately summoned!"

"It's not a simple one-plus-one, but a fusion in spacetime, like a celestial body compressed into a neutron star under gravity!"

"Wait, if it can be infinitely compressed... then wouldn't it be possible to knead a black hole with bare hands!?"

Suddenly, Lin An himself was startled by his own guess.
