Lin Lang stepped out of the villa gates.
Not far from the entrance.
Liu Lan was there, tending to the small garden she had just crafted!
Fully focused, she nurtured the plants!
Under her care, the plants were exceptionally vibrant, each leaf shimmering with the light of life!
Lin Lang approached and called out to her:
"Teacher Liu."
"Hmm?"
Liu Lan stood up, facing Lin Lang.
Lin Lang retrieved a Top-Grade Spirit Battle Pill from space and casually handed it to her, saying:
"This is a Spirit Battle Pill; by taking it, you can awaken your spiritual combat ability."
Even though Liu Lanâs "Life Absorption" ability was already powerful enough!
However!
The current her!
Was like a mage with explosive output but fragile defenses!
The margin for error was too low!
In true life-and-death combat, this could become her fatal weakness!
"Elixir?"
Liu Lan was slightly surprised!
For she had never encountered such things before!
"Taking an elixir to awaken superpowers?"
It didnât sound too reliable!
Just like telling students to take medicine to improve their exam scores!
...
But Lin Lang couldnât be bothered to explain further.
He merely said:
"Youâll know once you take it."
"Oh!"
Liu Lan obediently accepted the elixir.
After all.
If Lin Lang wanted to harm her, he wouldnât need such means!
"Well, Iâm off."
Then!
She watched wide-eyed as Lin Lang leaped up and quickly disappeared into the sky!
"How wonderful it must be to fly!"
She sighed with envy!
...
Bright Moon City!
Xingfu District!
Lin Langâs silhouette, like a feather, gently floated down from the sky!
He finally landed steadily in the district!
Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102!
Lin Lang quietly opened his front door.
He had expected the women to excitedly rush to greet him!
However!
When he stepped into the living room!
The sight before him made his heart sinkâ
In the living room!
The women were either standing or sitting, but without exception, their faces were full of sorrow!
A sense of oppression permeated the air, even breathing felt heavy!
And Lu Xiaoxing, the well-behaved little girl, was huddled vulnerably on the sofa, her eyes swollen like ripe peaches!
Helplessness and grief intertwined in her gaze!
Making one feel pity!
Seeing Lin Langâs return!
All the women visibly relaxed, unable to hold back their calls:
"Lin Lang is back!"
"Thank goodness!"
"Youâre finally back..."
...
Lin Lang steadily walked forward, softly inquiring:
"What happened?"
Tang Lingyu, hearing this, stepped forward.
With a hint of a choke in her voice, she told Lin Lang all about what happened to Lu Qiang.
Lin Lang listened, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Lu Qiang, Lu Xiaoxingâs brother!
Also a young boy who left a deep impression on Lin Langâ
Though young, he had awakened an elemental ability!
With such talent!
Given time, he would surely grow into a formidable figure!
However!
Life is unpredictable!
Who could have thought!
Such a hopeful and potential-filled life would leave this world in such a way forever...
Lin Lang sighed silently in his heart.
He couldnât help but feel a sense of regret over Lu Qiangâs passing.
But at that moment!
Lu Xiaoxing, holding back her inner sorrow, tremblingly handed a crystal ball to Lin Lang:
"Godfather, this is something my brother gave to me before he died."
"He said to make sure to pass it on to you."
Her voice was weak yet determined, each word seemed squeezed from her heart and soul!
Lin Lang took the crystal ball, his face growing more grave.
...
But as soon as he touched the crystal ball!
Lin Lang was surprised to findâ
This crystal ball!
Was exactly like the one in his space, the broken crystal ball!
Only its surface was layered with thick frost!
As if sealed by the power of extreme cold!
"Crystal ball?"
"Also transformed from a frog?"
Could it be!
That there was some kind of power of law contained within?
...
Lin Langâs heart stirred!
To verify his guess, he closed his eyes and then activated the Eye of Destiny!
His pupils instantly turned purpleâ
Indeed!
As his gaze fell upon the crystal ball!
A dazzling golden light flickered!
As if a mysterious and mighty force!
Was sleeping within it!
Awaiting the moment of awakening!
...
Almost certainly!
Lin Lang understood in his heart.
And then!
Took a deep breath!
Gathered all his spiritual energy, ready to remove that layer of ice!
As his spiritual energy surged!
The ice began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Eventually disappearing completely without a trace!
The women in the living room seeing this scene, couldnât help but hold their breath!
Their eyes tightly locked on Lin Lang and that mysterious crystal ball!
They were all very curiousâ
What use does this crystal ball, which Lu Qiang exchanged his life for, have?
...
Before long!
The ice had completely melted!
And at this instant!
An extremely scorching flame!
Suddenly erupted from within the crystal ball!
Like a fire dragon!
Rushed straight towards Lin Lang!
The intense heat immediately filled the room!
"Ah!"
The women, caught off guard, screamed in fright!
Tang Lingyu hurriedly embraced Lu Xiaoxing!
And Lin Lang, with a thought!
Released a powerful surge of spiritual energy to bind the flames!
Isolating the high temperature inside.
To prevent hurting the women.
...
The flames struggled continuously!
It seemed to want to burrow into Lin Langâs body!
Why?
Lin Lang was slightly puzzled in his heart.
But then calmed himself down.
Felt it carefully again!
Then confirmed:
"Sure enough, itâs the Power of Law!"
Although itâs unclear why it wants to enter his body.
But!
Thereâs no harm in letting it in.
Lin Lang thus retracted his spiritual energy.
The moment the fire dragon was freed!
It rushed into Lin Langâs body!
...
That flame law!
Rampantly burned within Lin Langâs veins, attempting to devour everything!
However!
Lin Langâs physical body, having been tempered countless times!
Was already indestructible!
Even the fierce attacks of the flame law!
Could not cause him the slightest harm!
Lin Langâs expression remained unchanged!
...
Upon seeing this!
Tang Lingyu and Lu Xiaoxing, among others, couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief!
They knew.
Lin Lang had successfully suppressed the flames!
...
Lin Langâs gaze was calm!
He did not take the flame law seriouslyâ
After all!
Even the powerful existence of the Law of Space had been easily shattered by him!
Let alone this mere flame law?
...
In the next moment!
Lin Lang expelled the increasingly brazen flame law from his body!
Then mobilized his spiritual energy!
Turning it into a gigantic fist!
Smashed it fiercely!
With a resounding "bang"!
The flame law, under Lin Langâs spiritual energy strike!
Was instantly suppressed obediently!
Dared not stir up any more trouble!
Thereafter!
The flame law seemed to be tamed!
Obediently retreated back into the crystal ball!
Transforming into a flickering small flame!
And the crystal ball, as if it awakened its intelligence!
Started fluttering around Lin Lang!
Like a little pet trying to please its owner.
Seeing this!
The women couldnât help but click their tongues in wonder!
While Lu Xiaoxing.
Gazed intently at that crystal ball.
Thinking of something unknowable in her heart!
And couldnât help but shed tears:
"Brother, Xiaoxing has done as you said..."
"Brother, in the next life..."
"You must be Xiaoxingâs brother too!"
...
Meanwhile, on Lin Langâs side.
He reached out and grasped this spiritually brimming crystal ball!
Also unceremoniously!
Imprinted it with his own Divine Sense Markâ
From now on!
This crystal ball would be connected to his mind!
As long as he willed it!
The flame law within would fly out, obeying his command!
However!
Lin Lang couldnât help but think:
"The flame law is indeed powerful."
"But, what use does this thing have for me?"
After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up!
He thought of a wonderful use!
