“Did I hit the mark?” Lin Sheng did not seem to pay any mind, totally missing Melissa’s nervousness .
“To be fair, everyone has a secret . The only difference is if you care if the secret is revealed . ”
Lin Sheng went straight to the point .
“Melissa, you… are thinking that your desires, your urges are wrong?”
He paused for a bit and put it in a different way .
“Perhaps, these kinds of desires, to you, do not fit societal norms?”
Melissa bit her lip and did not say anything .
After keeping quiet for a moment, she lowered her head and Lin Sheng spoke no more as he only stood by her for a bit, before patting her on the shoulder .
He then turned away and returned to his room .
Not long after he closed his door, Melissa’s footsteps as she headed to her room was heard .
Lin Sheng stood behind the door, and let out a smile .
To him, Melissa possessed a very powerful and malleable talent . As a girl who had just entered the world of the Darksiders, she was still lost, and her worldview had not fully formed yet .

She just needed a little guidance . Based on what was taught to her, that was how she would turn out to be .
The key question was how to convince her that she did not need to pay any heed to what people saw .
Lin Sheng left it at that .
If Melissa understood what he meant, she would naturally come to look for him, and then embark on the right path of her talent .
If she did not understand that, then there were still plenty of geniuses around the world . Melissa was not the only person who fit the bill .
After tidying up, Lin Sheng took a bath as he pulled out the plastic ritual materials from his bag and used the prepared materials to quickly convert any access souls into Crag Dragon blood .
The Crag Dragon blood within him was already at a ratio of forty percent, and his bone marrow had already been transformed . The transformed bone marrow would continuously produce dragon blood and transform the rest of his body .
Once he was done with that, he took a sip of orange juice as he sat on the sofa and turned on the television .
The screen then changed to a late-night news channel .
The content inside it was pretty much the standard face, either it was the coverage about another large scale battle between Xilin and Redwin, or a prince of Olro getting married and had invited many dignitaries .
There was some news about the local political scene, as well, as a local politician had resigned, and the president’s ratings were at its lowest point in history .
“Pointless stuff . ” Lin Sheng yawned as he looked at it .
He was not a training fanatic, and the relaxation from time to time was to him a reward in itself . Only by properly training and resting would he see constant growth .

After going through a round of channels, he did not find anything interesting . Without any else to do, he then turned to the movie channel .
And at that juncture, a romance movie was playing, everyone in it were young idols, and their getup daring . There were even rather risqué scenes from time to time .
Lin Sheng’s interest was piqued and he continued watching .
Not long later, he felt tired and decided to just straight up sleep on the couch .
He now sleeps about once every two days . After the dragon blood transforming his body, he was almost always at peak stamina, and could barely fall asleep now .
So he decided to change his sleeping pattern to two days once now .
His consciousness slowly turned blurry and faded .
Suddenly, the room door opened by itself as a row of silhouettes stood by the door, looking at him quietly .
The silhouettes simply just stood there, not entering the room, but Lin Sheng could feel a gaze pointed straight at him .
The ticking of the clock was heard .
He lifted his head all of a sudden as he took a deep breath . Bolting up from the sofa, Lin Sheng shook his head while he looked at the door .
There was no one there, but the door had indeed been opened as the cold wind blew in from outside .
There was only static on the television as it hissed continuously . The bright light was the only light source in the room .

After a few deep breaths, Lin Sheng slowly walked away from the sofa .
“Oh, right… a change of location… So, the dream changed as well?”
The Griffin’s Morass earlier had him at wit’s end . He could not find the Assimilation technique, nor could he do anything about the giant hawk head .
Hence, leaving was probably the best course of action .
Lin Sheng looked around to get a measure of the changes to the room . It was no different than reality, and even the layout was the same .
Lin Sheng then looked at himself .
It was normal white loungewear . This was his getup after his Crag Dragon blood had increased to beyond 20 percent, and saw a massive increase in his defensive powers .
Normal metal armors were of little use to him now and were instead an encumbrance, so he decided to forgo it altogether .
After checking his body, he did not find any problems . Only then did he slowly headed to the door, and pulled the door open and headed out .
Outside was the corridor on the third floor of the manor, and the floor was carpeted with red carpet and the walls had old damage scars .
Then suddenly, a chittering was heard from the left and Lin Sheng turned over .
On the left, a hunched human-form clad in black-red carapace was clambering quickly toward him . The side of the figure’s body had many beetle-like legs, and its large number of appendages allowed it to clear the distance between it and Lin Sheng .
Lin Sheng held his finger out as strand upon strand of green threads shot out toward the crawling monster .
A series of blunt thuds followed as the dark power threads were deflected by the carapace .
Lin Sheng changed tack while all of the threads converged into a large one and smashed against the monster .
This time around, the dark power beam was much stronger . While it could not kill the monster outright, the massive force was enough to send it flying against the wall .
Yet the monster simply just forced its way out of the crater on the wall and continued to crawl towards Lin Sheng without any signs of damage .
“That carapace is thick…” Lin Sheng called back the threads as holy power radiated in his palm .
The holy power was launched as it turned into a crescent blade and hit the monster right in the middle .
A light clatter later, the light blade went through the floor and disappeared .
The monster froze as it collapsed into the ground unmoving .
All over his body were countless of tightly packed spiked appendages as its chest and abdomen looked like it was sliced open like a fish from top to bottom, as a massive cut ran the length of its body .
This was a Divine Blade made out of concentrated holy power, while it consumed much more holy powers, it was extremely powerful, a reasonable trade-off .
Lin Sheng waited for a moment and noticed there were no black lines, so he simply went along the corridor and down the stairs .
The spiral stairs simply extended all the way below seemingly without end .
It was originally a three-story manor, but glancing from there, it looked like it extended at least ten stories down .
