Chapter 133: News of the Treasure

"Clap clap." The sound of applause came from behind Lin Xing.

Lin Xing turned his head to see that Can Yue and the others had somehow appeared behind him.

"Congratulations, Lin Xing, on your successful breakthrough. It seems you've also had some other good fortune. Your strength is even greater than before," Can Yue said with a smile. Xiao Shiyin was also smiling at Lin Xing.

"Thank you!" Lin Xing said gratefully, both for the praise and for their earlier concern.

Lin Xing also knew that earlier, Can Yue and the others had been worried about him and had even stepped in to help when they saw he was in danger.

"No need to be so polite, Lin Xing. You should go clean yourself up first," Can Yue said with a laugh.

Only then did Lin Xing look at himself. His clothes had long since turned to ashes, and now his entire body was as black as charcoal from being struck by lightning. His hair was also standing straight up, a classic case of 'electrocuted hair'.

Lin Xing gave an awkward smile. "Then I'll go wash up first." Without waiting for their reply, he dashed toward the hot spring behind the house.

"It seems this Lin Xing has turned a disaster into a blessing," Can Yue said, watching Lin Xing's disappearing figure.

"Yes. And his body, now tempered by the lightning, is much stronger than before. Moreover, it seems that lightning has fused with his flesh. His future prospects are limitless," Xiao Shiyin also mused.

A few days later, Lin Xing had largely adapted to the power he now possessed.

"Lin Xing, with your current strength, you should be able to leave this place now. And your purpose for coming to the Magical Beast Forest is almost achieved, right?" Can Yue chuckled.

Lin Xing shook his head. His purpose in coming here was partly to improve his strength. After so much life-and-death combat, his strength had already broken through to the Saint Level. Moreover, his combat experience was now quite rich. In that regard, he could say he had achieved his goal.

However, Lin Xing's curiosity about this place was still incredibly strong. There were many things in the Magical Beast Forest that Lin Xing didn't understand, especially the identities of Can Yue and the other. Lin Xing was certain that Can Yue and the other were humans! Not magical beasts!

"Oh? What else do you want to know?" Can Yue asked in surprise.

"I'm just incredibly curious about this place, that's all," Lin Xing said.

Can Yue chuckled. "The Magical Beast Forest is very mysterious. I've been here for many years and still only know a little bit. However, I must tell you, a mysterious place naturally has its reasons for being mysterious and naturally has its means of keeping secrets. If it's not something you should know, don't try in vain to understand it." Can Yue's expression suddenly turned serious.

Lin Xing was stunned for a second before realizing. It seemed he had been too persistent. He immediately thanked Can Yue, "Thank you for the reminder. I will keep it in mind."

"Haha, I was just thinking out loud. I wouldn't call it guidance. However, there is one secret you might want to learn about," Can Yue said with a smile.

"Oh? What is it?" Lin Xing's interest was piqued.

"News about that treasure inside the forest. I know that all the major forces from the outside continent have already flooded in. But it's impossible for them to successfully obtain that thing. And they can't even get close to it."

"They can't even reach the deepest parts of the Magical Beast Forest, let alone get past the high-level magical beasts. After all, Ninth-level Magical Beasts are already forces to be reckoned with."

Lin Xing knew all this, but right now, he was most interested in the news about that thing. However, he didn't want to interrupt what Can Yue was saying.

Seeing Lin Xing's anxious look, Xiao Shiyin burst out laughing. She shot Can Yue a look and said, "Can Yue, stop deliberately stringing Lin Xing along. Look how anxious he is."

Having his eagerness called out, Lin Xing's face flushed red, feeling very embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you," Can Yue said with a hearty laugh.

"That treasure is a blade!" Can Yue suddenly declared.

"A blade?" Lin Xing was greatly surprised. What kind of blade could be so powerful?

"Don't underestimate this blade. What stage do you think my strength has reached?" Can Yue suddenly asked Lin Xing.

"Unfathomable! Based on my estimation, your strength has long since far exceeded the God Level of our Kasla continent, right?" Can Yue didn't say anything, just nodded, confirming Lin Xing's statement.

"With my strength, I am still powerless against that blade. So, tell me, is that blade a treasure? If one truly obtained that blade, imagine what would happen? Even if you couldn't use it fully, your strength would still increase significantly."

Lin Xing also understood this principle. If you had a good weapon, or a divine artifact, even if your own strength was low, relying on the nature of the divine artifact itself, you might be able to fight against God Level figures!

Just like the Dragon Knights of the past. Even if your own strength was only at the Swordsman stage, with the help of a dragon, you could even fight against God Level figures without being defeated! This is the benefit of external objects! But these things have both advantages and disadvantages. The downside is that you might become dependent on that external object and neglect your own improvement.

"Back then, relying on my own strength, I tried to wrench that unknown blade free, but I couldn't do it. Even when I used all my strength, the blade didn't even budge," Can Yue said with a self-deprecating smile.

"However, I think you might be the destined one. Moreover, you used a blade before, so it's a perfect fit," Can Yue said, looking at Lin Xing.

"The destined one?" Lin Xing smiled. Although possessing such a treasure is something everyone dreams of, Lin Xing didn't dare to claim he was the destined one.

Seeing Lin Xing's hesitant expression, Can Yue said in surprise, "What, you don't want to give it a try? Perhaps you really are the destined one."

Lin Xing shook his head. "I wouldn't dare say I am the destined one. But I still want to give it a try. Who knows, maybe I really can obtain that blade," Lin Xing said with a laugh.

"However, before you reach the location of that blade, you must do one more thing. Otherwise, you won't be able to get close to the blade, let alone take it."

Lin Xing looked at Can Yue with confusion.

"Usually, treasures have guardians. The guardian of that blade is a Divine Beast. To take the blade, you must first pass the Divine Beast."

"A Divine Beast?" Lin Xing exclaimed in surprise!
