Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, the gang broke the hands of three club members, knocked them unconscious, and dumped them at the harbor . The gang left a note on them, giving the club two choices .
One was to give the club up and hand it to them as compensation . The second was to give them a compensation of ten million in cash .
“Then? How did Shayeen, Russell, and Madillan handle it?” Lin Sheng asked .
“Madillan is scared… Russell and Shayeen want everyone to work together, but no one listens to them . The core members have left… In fact, most members have left the club . ”
“Left the club?” Lin Sheng shook his head . That’s why he decided to start a new society in the first place .
The club looked good on the surface, but in fact, it lacked the spirit of cooperation and unity . Put a little pressure on the club and they could not take it anymore .
“Useless!” Sarroux sneered .
“What should we do now?” The girl looked helplessly at Lin Sheng and Sarroux .
“Go back and tell Russell that I can help him . But since the members have left, the club is definitely not going to last,” Lin Sheng said calmly .
“Thank you, I’ll go back now!” The girl was overjoyed . She bowed and left .
Sarroux looked at her back and said, “That little girl is kind of loyal . ”
“They’ll come back later . Do you want to go and help them out?” Lin Sheng smiled and asked .
“I don’t have time . I’m focused on meditation . ” Sarroux refused flatly .
“Well, I’ll arrange for someone else . This is such a good opportunity for practice . ”
“I’ll go! I’ll go!” Sarroux changed his mind decisively .
“Really?” Lin Sheng looked at him, smiling .
“Yes . Don’t you just want free labor, bro?” Sarroux was speechless .
“Ironfist Society isn’t as weak as Ironfist Club . We’ll face such problems in the future, so think of this as training,” said Lin Sheng . “Alright, I gotta go now . Any questions?”
He had no shortage of men, of course, and his two Blackfeather swordsmen could easily solve the problem . The training task was given to Sarroux .
After he answered Sarroux’s questions, Lin Sheng went home .
It was then time for him to enter his dream and continue his practice .
He had roughly mastered the superficial use of the holy light, while the Ashen Seal – Furious Roar was ineffective probably because his meditation time had been too short .
In dreams, time flowed a lot slower than in reality, so Lin Sheng spent most of his time meditating in dreams .
At Snowgale Fortress .
Lin Sheng lay on his bed and slowly opened his eyes .
He peered at the broken wooden door, where his wooden shield and big sword stood as a little guard .
The wooden shield and sword were still there, nothing had changed .
He got out of bed, sat down at his desk, closed his eyes again, and fell into meditation .
After a round of meditation, Lin Sheng began to practice the holy power and adjust his state .
The Gray Angel’s holy power, which he had absorbed, still needed a little bit of running before it could thoroughly turn into his own power .
A moment later, Lin Sheng suddenly fell into a trance .
As the holy power grew stronger and larger, some natural patterns began to be spontaneously sketched in his lower abdomen, forming a mysterious but irregular motif .
The holy power around the pattern was like a light, shining warmly on all of Lin Sheng’s internal organs . However, the light seemed to be gradually conveying a little mysterious message .
Lin Sheng felt as if he had mastered some innate ability .
He sat in his chair and examined the little message that had just materialized .
“Detection of evil? Is this a fixed divine power of a Level 3 warrior?
“Detection of evil? So, what is considered evil? How do you draw the line?” Lin Sheng was puzzled .
Soon, some of the explanations in the message made him understand the key point .
The detection of evil was the detection of faith .
“All heretics are guilty!”
The detection was actually very simple . It was just based on the affinity of holy power .
If there were other forces in the subject that did not accept the holy power, it had to be evil . The subject was also evil if he or she was not physically attuned to the holy light or was mentally disrespectful toward it .
It was basically a lie detector for faith .
The essence of holy power came from the soul, which Lin Sheng knew from basic practice . Therefore, if the soul was not willing to receive the holy light, then the body would lack harmony .
The power was extremely hegemonic . It needed to be fully accepted by the body, including the heart before it could pass detection .
“This magic has to change . I’ll think of a good way to correct it . ”
Lin Sheng put it aside and continued to train his holy power .
He meditated on the Ashen Seal as well as trained his holy power, and when he was tired of both, he turned to the book to learn Deviltongue .
Lin Sheng felt like he had never been so diligent .
Nonetheless, it was really nice to feel like he was making progress all the time .
“The use of the holy power seems to be a process of absorbing and purifying soul fragments into myself . ” Lin Sheng could vaguely feel a change in himself .
“If a normal person were to absorb so many soul fragments, there would be a problem . But I’m fine . I guess practicing the use of the holy power has solved everything . ”
He suddenly remembered the adage he had read before .
“My heart is a living spirit, for such it is sacred . ”
That passage in The Proverbs of Eternal Light implied that the essence of the holy power was most likely the manifestation of one’s own will .
The continuous practice of the holy power was to constantly strengthen one’s will and soul .
Thinking of that, Lin Sheng stopped his galloping thoughts and returned to training his holy power again .
What he needed now was plenty of time . He planned to continue exploring the castle once he could utilize the Ashen Seal successfully .
Only by killing the monster and increasing the strength of his soul could he become stronger more rapidly .
Killing more prey, gaining more souls, and summoning more subordinates! That was what he wanted!
And the stronger the soul, the stronger the holy power!
