Chapter 351 Harvesting the Fire Seed
Since he hadn\'t found any mutant creatures anyway, Lin Shen decided not to use the Life Base while fighting ordinary Supersource Dragons, instead fighting them using only his fingers.
Although he won against Ximen Swordsman today, it couldn\'t be considered a true victory. In terms of skill, Ximen Swordsman was not outmatched.
He couldn\'t keep fighting wars of attrition every time he encountered similar opponents.
In one-on-one situations like this where attrition warfare was possible, Lin Shen didn\'t always have ample time to defeat his opponent.
During the fight, Lin Shen pondered how to counter Ximen Swordsman\'s technique of using the force of others to his advantage.
Winning by brute force wasn\'t a good option, even if he could defeat Ximen Swordsman with absolute strength.
What would he do later when faced with opponents whose strength and speed were not inferior to his?
No matter how powerful and swift Lin Shen became, there would always be others nearly as strong as he was, unless one day he could become the supreme power of the universe. Otherwise, this path was ultimately imperfect.
It was difficult for Lin Shen to win without any outward sign of effort, as he wasn\'t adept at using others\' force. His control over his own strength paled in comparison to Ximen Swordsman.
Therefore, after much contemplation, Lin Shen thought there might be a way to break through the skill of using opponents\' force, considering his own abilities.
The Surfing Fist was too forceful, so he couldn\'t hit Ximen Swordsman with it at all. Experience tales at m v|l e\'-NovelBin.net
If he wanted to concentrate his power, it was more difficult to do so with a fist. If he could transform his fist power into finger power, it would be much easier to concentrate force from a distance.
By then concentrating the finger power to the fine point of a needle, he would reduce the area affected, significantly increasing the difficulty for Ximen Swordsman to use the force against him.
Moreover, concentrating power to a needlepoint would reduce air resistance when piercing through space, increasing speed—the finer the point, the more so.
Of course, transforming the Surfing Fist into this type of finger power was impossible, for without that momentum, the characteristics of the Surfing Fist couldn\'t be utilized, and it wouldn\'t be the Surfing Fist any longer.
So what Lin Shen truly intended to do was to transform the Spatial Fist Power of the Twenty-Eight Fists into Spatial Finger Power, hoping to achieve the concentration of force like that of a needlepoint.
Lin Shen practiced the skill of the Twenty-Eight Fists using his fingers in place of his fists.
In reality, whether using fingers or fists made little difference, both could project force through space. However, finger power was still that same aggressive and domineering approach. Changing it to the refined technique of needlepoint force was undoubtedly very challenging, and Lin Shen could only slowly experiment and explore, looking for possibilities from every angle.
Before he had made any progress, it was time, and Lin Shen was transported back to his room on Giant Ring Star.
"It\'s almost dark," Lin Shen felt a surge of excitement, for he was finally about to obtain the Fire Seed from Tian Xun.
Waiting was often a long process. Even though less than an hour remained, Lin Shen felt as though every minute lasted an eternity.
Finally, when the time passed, the sky suddenly darkened, and Lin Shen quickly took out the Nightglow Flower and stealthily headed toward Tian Xun\'s room.
Arriving at Tian Xun\'s door, Lin Shen took a deep breath and then knocked.
The next second, the door opened, revealing Tian Xun who had meticulously dressed herself up.
Tian Xun\'s mood was equally tense. Over the years, she had always been striving out in the world, and it wasn\'t that she had never thought about finding someone to depend on.
However, because of her mixed heritage, it wasn\'t easy for her to find a person who could capture her heart.
Pureblood Celestials of similar status to her would not choose to marry a mixed-blood Celestial.
Those of lower status than her, probably most of them were eyeing her status and influence, and with the power of their backers, they might even take away the achievements she had worked hard for over the years.
Therefore, finding a man for Tian Xun was not merely about finding companionship, it involved considering too many factors.
The reason Tian Xun set her sights on Lin Shen was that she intended to nurture someone who could help her in the future, and Lin Shen\'s performance during this period had not let her down; he indeed had boundless potential.
Today, she had dressed meticulously, hoping to leave the most beautiful impression on Lin Shen.
Unfortunately, her effort was evidently in vain, as Lin Shen only saw a mosaic, unable to enjoy even the most beautiful scenery.
Seeing Lin Shen\'s expression was normal, without the amazed reaction she had imagined, Tian Xun felt slightly disappointed and began to doubt her own allure.
However, Tian Xun was not a naive girl like Bai Shenfei. She quickly recovered her composure, turned around, and sat on the bed with a seductive posture, presenting her most beautifully curved side to Lin Shen.
If Lin Shen could have seen her, he would have surely shown the appropriate appreciation for beauty and sensuality.
"Try this," Tian Xun said, noticing Lin Shen was somewhat nervous. Thinking he was moved by her beauty, she couldn\'t help but smile. She took two cups filled with amber liquid, handing one to Lin Shen.
"What\'s this?" Lin Shen asked as he took the cup, looking at the liquid inside.
"Made primarily from the Ascension Liquid of a Demonic Roh Beast, this Demon Liquid not only can increase the Base Mutation rate but also can soothe the mind, relax the spirit, and help with sleep," Tian Xun explained as she took a small sip.
Lin Shen, hearing it could increase the Base Mutation rate, immediately tasted it. The flavor was fragrant, warm as it went down his throat, and upon reaching his stomach, immediately made him feel comfortably warm all over.
"Good stuff," Lin Shen remarked as he finished the remaining Demon Liquid in one gulp, put down the cup, and sat down next to Tian Xun. Pretending to be composed and assertively, he looped an arm around Tian Xun\'s waist and said, "My lover, can we rest now?"
Unexpectedly, Tian Xun took the initiative, embracing Lin Shen from behind. Her wings also enveloped him, wrapping Lin Shen entirely within them as they fell back onto the bed.
Cheeks touching and gentle caresses passed, Lin Shen felt the warmth emanating from Tian Xun\'s body. The body temperature of Celestials was higher than that of humans, so Tian Xun\'s embrace felt very warm.
Perhaps owing to the effects of the Demon Liquid or being so comfortable in Tian Xun\'s embrace, Lin Shen soon fell asleep.
When Lin Shen woke up, daylight had come, but he could not see Tian Xun\'s figure on the bed.
Lin Shen quickly got up and looked around, discovering that Tian Xun indeed wasn\'t in the room anymore. On the bedside table, there was a note.
"Little lover, it\'s very impolite of you to treat a woman this way. I will only forgive you this once," the note read.
"What does this \'impolite\' refer to exactly? Is it about being too presumptuous in my proposal, or..." Lin Shen found himself lost in contemplation for a moment.
Soon, Lin Shen put the note aside, as he had already sensed a change in the Fire Seed.
No new Fire Seed had emerged, but the completion of the Heaven Defying Bone had become twenty percent.
"It seems I still need to sleep with eight more Fire Seeds to obtain the complete Heaven Defying Bone. Where am I going to find them?" Lin Shen was somewhat troubled.
