Chapter 13

Tick-tock, tick-tock…

Fresh red blood sipped out of the wound in his palm and dripped onto the ground. A bloody smell slowly filled the rotten passage. Then, a sound of heavy breathing began to echo in the originally quiet passage.

Su Chen looked in the direction of the sound, and soon he saw a pair of scarlet eyes. The next second, he heard a sound three things of rushing air came out of the passage. In an instant, Su Chen raised his sword in response, blocking the sudden magical ice cone three times in a row.

The reason why magic corpses are called magic corpses is because they can perform magic skills and techniques.

At the same time that Su Chen was blocking the ice cone, the magic corpse, whose bloodthirsty desire had been completely aroused by it, rushed in front of him at an astonishing speed.

Su Chen, who was highly focused, suddenly laughed at this moment. When the prey walks into the trap, as a hunter, how could he not be happy?

Purple Cloud Divine Light!

"Roar!!!"

The dazzling purple glow once again appeared in the dim passage, making it bright like a day.

Out of fear of the sunlight, the magic corpse, who was originally sprinting, suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and screamed. His body instinctively wanted to turn away and stay away from this damn Purple Cloud Divine Light.

But how could Su Chen, who had painstakingly lured this magic corpse out, let him leave this place so easily? He seized the opportunity when the corpse paused and rushed forward as a shadow.

During this process, he first used the large success level sharpness technique on the magic sword, covering the sword with a layer of invisible sword energy.

Immediately afterward, there was the familiar and crisp sound of a vibrating sword!

Sword Technique: Water Dragon Roar!

Su Chen came in front of the magic corpse slashed the vibrating sword energy at the neck of the magic corpse and easily beheaded it with a single strike.

And this time the magic corpse finally lost all of his breath and fell straight to the ground. With a little curiosity, Su Chen picked up the scattered light spots on the body of the magic corpse.

[You killed a Qi gathering stage magic corpse and gained 70 experience points, Soul Crystal Fragment (white)*1]

Soul crystal fragment, what is this?

Su Chen looked at the strange white fragment in his palm, and his heart was filled with curiosity...

[Soul Crystal Fragment (White)]

[Effect: It can be used to activate one's innate magical power or strengthen the level of first-order innate magical power].

Activate one's innate magical power, or strengthen the level of one's innate magical power?

Su Chen looked at the description of the soul crystal fragments, and his heart was immediately filled with turmoil. The so-called innate supernatural power is a special ability that can be used without any practice.

Take Lu Xiaoye as an example. The reason why she can have such a high status in Jiangnan City No. 1 High School.

In addition to her own top-grade fire spiritual root aptitude, she also benefited from the innate magical power she awakened when she was eight years old—the Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation.

The Scarlet Flame Phoenix Tribulation not only strengthens her control over fire-attributed spiritual power but also allows her fire spiritual power to be endowed with the special 'Power of Phoenix Tribulation'.

This results in the same fire skills and techniques performed by her having a completely different power level than in the hands of others.

This innate magical power is not only ranked as one of the top in Jiangnan City but also in the entire Kyushu Immortal Alliance.

In other words, Lu Xiaoye herself was unwilling; otherwise, she would have been admitted to any of the four top Taoist academies in the Kyushu Immortal Alliance as an exception long ago. Skip this high school process.

Although outsiders did not understand why Lu Xiaoye did this, Su Chen knew very well why she insisted on staying in Jiangnan City.

He advised Lu Xiaoye a few years ago not to take what happened in the past too seriously. After all, Su Chen felt that even if it wasn't him at the time, any other person with a conscience would make the same decision as him.

But Lu Xiaoye didn't listen to these words at all and still insisted on staying in Jiangnan City to continue her studies. She calls it a nostalgic thing!

As to whether this was the reason, only she knew. The fact that she was admitted to the four top Taoist academies as an exception shows her potential in terms of talent and supernatural powers.

Although innate magical powers are powerful, it is not easy to awaken one's innate magical powers.

Generally speaking, the awakening of innate supernatural powers can be divided into two types: innate and acquired.

The condition for innate awakening is that at least one of the parents has awakened the innate magical power. In this way, the offspring born have a high probability of awakening the innate magical power.

If both parents have not awakened their innate magical powers, there is only a small probability that their offspring will be able to awaken their talents at birth.

Therefore, whether one can awaken one's talents at birth can be determined by one's parents' generation.

The conditions for acquired awakening are much more stringent, and there is no logic to it.

Some people may suddenly wake up after waking up from sleep, while others may wake up unexpectedly after experiencing something special.

Lu Xiaoye is a typical example of the latter. You have to know that Lu Xiaoye's performance before the age of eight was not much different from that of an ordinary little girl, and there was nothing special about her.

But after experiencing that great change, Lu Xiaoye completed her acquired awakening under strong stimulation. The vast majority of acquired awakeners in the Immortal Alliance are like Lu Xiaoye. But acquired awakening is not absolute.

Some people go their entire lives without ever realizing their talents. Some people can awaken immediately after experiencing a major change. But now Su Chen has obtained a prop that can allow him to awaken his talent steadily. How can he not be surprised?

After all, innate supernatural powers are a huge opportunity that can allow people to change their destiny. With a little excitement, he directly used the 'Soul Crystal Fragment (White)' in his hand.

As the soul crystals turned into light spots and flowed into his body, Su Chen immediately began to look forward to his changes.

But after he waited for ten minutes, nothing happened.
