Chapter 287: 287
Lin Sheng stood in place, creasing his brow slightly as he took out his mobile phone and turned on its front-facing camera, looking at himself . Soon, the dragon aura flowing in his body subsided and isolated by his dark energy and holy power . After doing this, he again examined himself carefully, making sure that there was not any anomaly before he strode toward the factory . Only after a few steps, he saw lights from the corner of his eye .
A car stopped on the road behind the abandoned factory with its headlamps on . The yellowish-orange light from the light bulbs was not particularly bright . A pair of young couples was half-leaning on the bonnet, their bodies pounding madly together as they embraced each other in hot wet kisses and caress .
“Youngsters nowadays…” Lin Sheng pulled his eyes away, shaking his head . And just as he was about to leave the place, his gut feeling told him that something was amiss and he looked at the couples again, doing a double-take . True to his suspicion, the girl seemed to struggle to push the guy away as if it was against her will .
Blinking his eyes, Lin Sheng dashed over to the car . Not that he liked to stick his nose in other’s business, nor he wanted to do good . Sometimes, there was no harm in giving people a helping hand while he was already here . Who knows his little gesture might change someone’s life .
There was another reason driving him to be a good Samaritan . Being beneficent akin to planting mushroom . Perhaps he would get to reap what he sowed someday when the mushroom grew . Being benevolent was more like sowing his seeds around . Who knows he would bump into his offsprings, who would then take care of him when he grew old someday . So doing more good was as if having more children . With more children taking care of him, he could ensure his quality of life in the old age . But then again, it also depended on the sense of gratitude of the person who received his help . Having an ungrateful child was the saddest outcome of all of this .
As Lin Sheng was fast approaching the car, his hurried footsteps seemed to have alerted the lust-crazed man . Looking up and removing his tie, the man showed off his muscular chest overgrown with blonde hair in an intimidating way . The man glared as if he wanted to scare away Lin Sheng with his eyes . But that did not work on Lin Sheng . He unhurriedly took out his mobile phone and aimed the camera lens at the two .

“Ignore me and keep on . I will just watch and not say anything . ”
The man got agitated seeing the mobile phone . He came up to Lin Sheng, wanting to grab the gadget from him . But before he could do so, he saw Lin Sheng tapping on the screen and heard him saying, “Sent!”
Lin Sheng looked up and smiled at him . “I have just filmed an attempted rape . ”
The man’s face sank, and he lunged forward and whisked a punch at Lin Sheng . The man was furious . Somehow, a great force yanked the man out and away, smashing him against the side of the car . The man dropped to the ground with a muffled groan, leaving behind the body contour of the man on the door .
Lin Sheng put down his leg, face still carrying the same smile . “You deserve it . But it doesn’t have to be this way . ” He was helpless about it . By right, the mobile phone trick should work, just like the novels he had read before on Earth, where the protagonists used the phone trick to scare away any perpetrators . But it was not working here . So it all came down to who had the biggest fist .

The man could no longer make a response . Lin Sheng had been very restrained in whisking out his power, but he still broke half of the ribs and bones in the man . After a long treatment and recuperation process, the man might walk again, and that was the best the man could hope for .
The huge dent on the car door might look scary, but that did not tell the whole story . In fact, the man had transferred most of the force to the car when he crashed, and this transfer of force had saved his life .
Meanwhile, the woman was still lying on the bonnet despite the earlier loud crashes . Gasping for air, the woman rolled to her side and dropped to the ground, staining a large part of her bare shoulder white dress with dirt . She struggled to lift her head and look at Lin Sheng . On her fine-featured, beautiful face, her almond-shaped eyes looked drowsy as if she was semi-unconscious .
“Have you been drugged?” Lin Sheng reached his hand into the car window before he took out a handbag . He then fished out her mobile phone and tossed it to the woman . “I supposed you have no problem calling for help since you could still struggle with the man just now . ”
The woman looked at the phone that slid up before her and took it . She unlocked the screen and called up her contact list . Looking at the long list of contacts, she hesitated, unsure who to call . Tears swelled in her eyes before they rolled down her cheeks .

“There is no one you can trust even in such a key moment?” Lin Sheng had guessed what was in the woman’s mind . He took his phone and dialed the emergency number 199 .
Ambulance in Miga was efficient . In less than fifteen minutes, the ambulance flashing with red strobe light arrived . Along with the wounded man, the medic lifted the woman, who felt weak and lightheaded, onto a stretcher . Lin Sheng checked the woman’s handbag for her ID card and used the cash from her wallet to pay for the ambulance fee . He then examined the woman’s condition, making sure that the effect of the drug was fading . As the ambulance blared its siren and carried them away, Lin Sheng went back to the abandoned factory .
He made a few turns on the expansive factory floor, then walked straight toward a huge steel cylinder . Just as he was about slammed his face on the cylinder, the surrounding space distorted and Lin Sheng vanished .
In the Soul Fortress, Lin Sheng was back to his routine of studying, practicing, meditating, and dreaming . And it all repeated in a cycle .
He had explored the place that looked like the Griffin’s Morass, but he still could not find any traces of the third chapter of the Assimilation spell . Not an inch in the black mist-covered land that Lin Sheng had not searched . The only thing that he had not figured out was the huge griffin sculpture, which looked scary with only its head exposed on the earth’s surface . He did not want to look for trouble although his Rock Dragon bloodline had gained considerable strength . The blood had settled down in his veins . His body and soul were receiving the nourishment that the blood brought . As the powerful bloodline could change his physique, and a strong body would nourish his soul, Lin Sheng felt that he was growing stronger by the minute . His dark energy would also grow stronger as the strength of his soul developed .
The strength of his dark energy increased from 15,000 to 16,000 units, and this enhancement represented the improvement that a Three-winger took from the early to the stable period . By the time he woke up, he would have gained 5,000 units increase in his dark energy, which was equivalent to a Three-winged Darksider . This level of increase was insignificant to him . But the effect on the holy power was remarkable . His holy power seemed to be high on drugs as it expanded along with the dark energy . There seemed to be no limit to the increase . From Level 8 in the beginning, his holy power almost reached into the realm of Level 9 now .
Lin Sheng became worried about this explosive growth . He had only gained Level 8 a few days ago, and now he was eyeing Level 9 already . Climbing the ladder of the sanctum system was no easy task . From the Templar to the most gifted pope in history, an upgrade from Level 8 to Level 9 had taken no less than three years . A body under the nourishment of the Level 8 holy power could live well over three hundred years in theory . So three years seemed relatively short . But Lin Sheng felt like he would have another upgrade in days .
