“A Dragon Lord passed through the Trial Land barrier?”
“Or is it that the area we descended into this time is special?”
In an instant, a flood of thoughts entered Liu Hao’s mind.
Recalling it now, he still felt a deep sense of lingering fear.
Data comparison.
That dragon didn't look very big, seemingly still in its infancy.
But the strength it displayed in the video could easily kill their group.
“It seems to be a young dragon!”
The thin young man's eyes gradually lit up, “I once heard a legend that bathing in dragon blood can greatly enhance a person's physical aptitude and potential!”
“If there's only this one… perhaps we can recruit a group of Lords willing to crusade!”
“What if it’s a boss?!”
The others quickly interrupted his dangerous idea upon hearing it.
“Damn, buddy, don't you think I'm dying fast enough? First, let's not even talk about whether the legend is true; I'm not doing something that risks my life.”
“It has flying ability, so even if we gather a legion, we can't possibly surround it.”
“…”
Only Liu Hao felt a little tempted by this suggestion.
Flying ability is easy to solve.
Someone in their circle had already acquired a magic scroll for a no-fly zone.
However…
He glanced at the dragon's strong, powerful limbs in the video, and its clearly sharp dragon claws gleaming with cold light.
Then again.
Even in a ground melee.
How many lives would it take to fill up and kill such a biological weapon?
“Hiss… forget it.”
Liu Hao shook his head, curbing the greed in his mind.
The method of improving potential and aptitude was indeed attractive.
But in the end, it wasn't as stable as hunting magic cores.
“Pack up and let's go. First, let's check on that classmate who's blocking the way.”
“As you say, Brother Liu.”
“…”
…
Meanwhile, Lin Yi's territory was bustling with activity.
People crowded around the Hero Tavern, craning their necks to see what was happening ahead.
Each person held a wooden number plate.
Watching them carefully clutching them, with expressions full of longing in their eyes, they were clearly queuing for something.
“How long do I have to soak?”
“I don’t feel anything at all.”
Lin Yi sat on the pure white steps, wearing only a pair of shorts.
In front of him was a pure, flawless pool, emitting warm, misty vapor.
The pool water was clean and clear; just smelling it gave one the feeling of their soul being purified, making one Can't help it want to take a sip.
And his legs were currently submerged in this pool.
In the center of the pool.
Stood a humanoid statue.
The figure was tall and slender, not necessarily strong, but with very smooth proportions, looking very pleasing to the eye.
Its appearance was blurred, and its messy, short hair was somewhat disheveled; who knows what the sculptor was thinking at the time.
However.
What was most striking were the extremely exaggerated, even somewhat disproportionate, nine pairs of wings on its back!
Eighteen-winged Angel!
The feathers on the wings were lifelike; at first glance, the feathers seemed to be fluttering and covered in an invisible flame, causing the air to ripple.
The statue's material seemed to be a milky white stone, smooth as jade all over, with condensed water droplets flowing down the statue's body back into the pool.
The only flaw was the delicate cracks, like a spiderweb, covering the entire statue, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Around the pool.
There were three layers of tightly fitted steps, appearing as a single entity.
The pool water covered one and a half layers, and Lin Yi was sitting on the second layer.
Finally, there were four more twelve-winged angel statues.
From their hairstyles and appearances, they seemed to be female.
They stood at the four corners of the pool, holding holy swords with reversed grips, their blades embedded in the third layer of steps, enclosing the mysterious statue in a rectangular shape.
Leaving aside the effect.
Just these 5 statues made Lin Yi realize that the Cleansing Pool was indeed a genuine Angelic race building.
“It should take an hour.”
“Please be patient, my Lord.”
Ailina sat behind Lin Yi, her slender and strong fingers kneading his shoulder and neck muscles.
If she were wearing a uniform, it would indeed give off a bit of a foot massage parlor vibe.
However, those unevenly skilled technicians definitely couldn't compare to even a fraction of Ailina's peerless beauty.
“Yes, yes, that spot… a little more force.”
Lin Yi hummed a few times, closed his eyes and waited for a while, then asked, “Do we really not need to replenish energy later?”
“Probably… not.”
Ailina's blue eyes fell into recollection; the Fallen Archangel had left her with not many memories.
The scattered information made her tone not very firm, “The Holy Cleansing Pool, as the energy core of the Angelic Castle, was originally called the Angel Rebirth Pool. Its primary function was to output energy.”
“However…” Ailina looked at the eighteen-winged statue in the center with some regret, “It’s a pity it’s damaged; cleansing has become its main function now.”
“Oh.”
Lin Yi was amazed after hearing this.
Since the Angelic race's strength was so terrifying, what exactly happened that even the God King fell?
Forget it, this wasn't something he could concern himself with.
Living in the present was the most important thing.
…
【Holy Cleansing Pool (Damaged)】
Type: Unique Special Building
Effect: Immersing in the pool water permanently grants the blessing of Angelic divine power, altering physical constitution.
Description: Once a sacred relic of the Angelic race, the Angel Rebirth Pool! A great creation after the former Angelic God King “Yeler Mikash” ignited his Divine Kingdom, the core of the Angelic Castle!
Even though it is damaged and its effect is less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was, the pseudo-gods on the Primordial Divine Land still covet it.
…
“A man is innocent, but his treasure makes him guilty…”
“I need to find a way to put a lid on the territory.”
Lin Yi relaxed his body, naturally leaning back, resting in Ailina's soft, comfortable, and fleshy embrace.
The side effects of not being disciplined arrived.
The warmth from his legs, coupled with mental fatigue.
Not long after, Lin Yi's eyelids began to droop, and drowsiness surged over him like a tide.
Before falling into a deep sleep, he still didn't forget to instruct, “Let… Wang Fugui… begin.”
“Your will shall be obeyed.”
Ailina's fair cheeks flushed slightly, mixed with a hint of joy.
She gently cupped Lin Yi's face with her hands and enveloped him with the warm, sacred wings on her back, isolating all extraneous sounds.
When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, it was already lunchtime.
“My Lord!”
“Good news!”
As soon as he woke up, he heard Wang Fugui reporting good news.
“Has the cleansing effect appeared?”
Lin Yi rubbed his eyes, his old face rubbing against Ailina's proud chest a few times before he reluctantly sat upright and pulled his legs out of the hot spring.
“Extremely good! Very good! Couldn't be better!”
Wang Fugui was radiant and full of vigor; compared to the morning, he seemed to have become decades younger.
From his face, one couldn't tell at all that just over 10 days ago, he was still a decaying old man with one foot already in the grave.
His bright, piercing eyes now had a brilliant white halo.
Lin Yi's mind stirred, then he opened the other party's information panel.
A long string of content immediately appeared, vastly different from before.

“Ah… this…”
Lin Yi's mouth hung open.
With such a heaven-defying effect, God King, why don't you charge some money for it?
Is it really appropriate to get it for free?
