Chapter 17 Spirit Energy ATM
In the blink of an eye, an hour had almost passed, but by the fifty-ninth minute, Lian Yun, the Insect Emperor, and the General were all in position.
The Insect Emperor took the lead, swallowing five Diamond Spirit Coins. Lian Yun and the General stood on either side of the Year Beast BSS, while Yang Zai Xing and Yang Yanzhao were with the General, each gathering their strength.
As soon as the time was up, which marked the first second of the new round, several attacks instantly descended upon the Year Beast BSS.
Excluding ordinary treasure chests, Lian Yun unleashed three Golden Treasure Boxes in one strike, causing the Insect Emperor to feel a pang of regret. Yang Zai Xing produced two, while both the General and Yang Yanzhao managed to create one each. However, Yang Yanzhao's contribution was likely partly due to the General's influence.
In fact, Yang Yanzhao was also a renowned general with considerable attack power and exceptional marksmanship. However, he was more adept at sweeping attacks rather than one-on-one confrontations.
Unlike his attitude towards Lian Yun, the Insect Emperor felt gratified by the General's performance. Yet, the General seemed unappreciative and turned to attack other Year Beasts.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun moved behind the Insect Emperor to absorb his spiritual energy. This was what he had boldly intended before—using him as an ATM.
While others feared the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy like a tiger, worried they might end up like him, Lian Yun was different. Once he absorbed the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy into his Yin-Yang Stage, it could be separated into Deep Blue Energy and Spiritual Energy.
The Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy was extremely pure, slightly superior to Diamond Spirit Coins; however, due to his personal aura, it couldn't be directly used to level up but could be utilized in combat.
After filling his Yin-Yang Stage, Yang Zai Xing passed through Lian Yun, fully revived. He gathered strength once more for a desperate strike against the Year Beast and obtained two more Golden Treasure Boxes.
On Lian Yun's side, his Sword Control Technique was nearly at full throttle, occupying four-fifths of the square.
Lian Yun admired Yang Zai Xing's marksmanship because his attacks required minimal Mental Power. In his previous life, such attacks would have exhausted all his energy; now they were fueled by spiritual energy.
After one strike, Yang Zai Xing passed through Lian Yun again and fully revived once more to unleash a powerful blow against the Year Beast BSS.
The Insect Emperor's expression twisted uncomfortably; being drained of Spiritual Energy felt unpleasant. Yet he could distinctly sense his body becoming lighter.
It was truly a case of pain mingled with pleasure.
However, it wasn't long before Lian Yun came to a halt.
Ah~~~ Don't stop! The Insect Emperor groaned in frustration and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
However, Lian Yun paid no attention to that and instead sat cross-legged behind him to cultivate.
Although the spiritual power of the Insect Emperor was pure, it had its own attributes that continuously flowed through his body, causing a certain degree of harm. Lian Yun stopped only when he felt an intense heat in his body.
This heat was not merely a sensation of warmth; it was a warning that his body had sustained some damage. Thus, simply cooling down would not suffice. Lian Yun needed to use his own spiritual power repeatedly to cleanse his body, allowing it to recover and lower the temperature.
There was, however, a benefit to this process: as the Insect Emperor's spiritual energy passed through his body, it effectively increased his body's capacity to endure. Once he recovered, not only did his body become more resilient, but the amount of spiritual power he could contain also increased.
It could be said that his strength had been enhanced without any effort.
Yang Zai Xing's situation was similar to Lian Yun's, but he gained even greater benefits. His Soul Body had become sturdier, and his realm had improved as well.
He was not far from breaking through to the Intermediate Ghost King level.
For renowned generals, breaking through was challenging, but improving was not difficult. As long as Yang Zai Xing made a breakthrough, he would soon approach the High Ghost King level. At that point, his strength would reach the peak of B-Class Monarch. Naturally, Lian Yun prioritized helping Yang Zai Xing improve first.
So after recovering, Lian Yun primarily used his spiritual power to employ the Sword Control Technique, reducing both the attack range and intensity while allowing Yang Zai Xing to unleash his full potential.
This way, not only could Yang Zai Xing receive more training, but he could also obtain a certain number of Golden Treasure Boxes.
Such actions naturally made the Insect Emperor feel dissatisfied, as if Lian Yun were stealing his Golden Treasure Boxes. However, this time he displayed a more elder-like demeanor, refraining from any complaints or urging Lian Yun to absorb faster.
As Yang Zai Xing frequently used his life-risking strike, the duration of his battles shortened significantly. Often, the recovery time became longer than the fighting time.
Lian Yun was not anxious about this; however, during Yang Zai Xing's rest periods, he would also utilize the Insect Emperor's spiritual power for Sword Control to increase their chances of securing first place and strengthen his own body.
After about half an hour, the Insect Qi within the Insect Emperor was diluted by half. The cracks on his body had nearly completely healed, showing no signs of any issues. At this moment, the Insect Emperor regretfully said, "Let’s take a break! Otherwise, I won’t have enough spiritual power to last until the end."
"Isn't there enough Diamond Spirit Coins? I have two hundred here!" The general directly stuffed a bag into the Insect Emperor's arms before immediately going off to hunt Year Beasts.
This greatly moved and comforted the Insect Emperor. Regardless of anything else, at least Brat still cared about him.
Feeling pleased with himself, the Insect Emperor boisterously declared, "Brat, keep going! If you stop, I’ll get angry!"
Lian Yun found himself at a loss for words when faced with the Insect Emperor's rather unsophisticated personality. However, he certainly did not dislike him. Shaking his head in mild exasperation, Lian Yun continued to treat him as a Spirit Energy ATM.
This time, though, Lian Yun was no longer absorbing Spiritual Energy with full force. Instead, he attempted to control the extraction process, aiming to draw out a small amount of Spiritual Energy while simultaneously extracting a larger quantity of Deep Blue Energy.
The results were unclear; perhaps the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy was too advanced for Lian Yun to control, or maybe the combination of Deep Blue Energy and the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy was particularly peculiar. He could extract it but could not make any alterations. It seemed that only by completely depleting the Insect Emperor's Spiritual Energy would it be possible to eradicate it.
After extracting one-fifth of it, Lian Yun found himself unable to continue. He felt that if he persisted, he might end up draining the Insect Emperor's very flesh and blood.
With some regret, Lian Yun said, "Senior, I can only manage this much for now. I'll think of another way to deal with the remaining portion in the future."
"Hey, I can handle the remaining part myself; it might cause some damage, but I'll recover quickly. However, you seem capable of utilizing that Insect Qi. When the time comes, I'll call on you."
"Um! I haven't had a chance to ask you yet—how did you acquire all this Insect Qi?"
"We'll discuss that later."
Originally, Lian Yun had planned to obtain Deep Blue Energy on his own after learning its location. However, from the Insect Emperor's tone, he sensed a hint of barely concealed dread, prompting him to refrain from saying more.
