Chapter 882: 882 **Chapter 882: Talent Enhancement, Bearing the Law** Each time the Talent Tree is watered, it signifies a new round of growth. Lin Muyu could feel the joy and intimacy coming from the Talent Tree. It was his talent, and also his child. Countless branches hung down, incredibly lush. The branches wrapped around his soul body, and then flames ignited on the branches. The purple flames burned his soul once again. The soul felt intense pain, but Lin Muyu was already used to it; this level of pain was nothing to him. In the midst of the pain, the impurities in his soul were once again refined and removed. The soul became sharper and stronger. At the same time, Lin Muyu felt a large amount of divine power being transmitted from the branches into his soul. Crack! A slight cracking sound suddenly echoed in his soul. Lin Muyu felt a lightness throughout his body, as if a shackle had broken. He then saw a white spot appear on his soul’s chest. The white spot quickly enlarged before his eyes, revealing a complex rune. The rune flickered, continuously releasing the power of a curse. "The curse of the Great World Rune!" Lin Muyu had seen the Great World Rune before, but this was the first time he saw the Great World Rune within his own body. He immediately recognized that his rune was just a derivative of the true Great World Rune. However, its power still came from the Great World Rune, possessing a strength that ordinary people could not resist. The curse of the rune had always affected him, suppressing the power of his spells and the strength of his skeletons, preventing his spells from bearing the law. Now, a crack appeared on the rune. This crack significantly weakened the power of the curse. Lin Muyu understood and immediately tried to let his spells bear the law. A skeletal god warrior appeared in front of him, and Lin Muyu flicked a trace of the Undead Law onto the skeleton. In the past, as soon as this trace of the law touched the skeleton, it would instantly collapse. Spells could only use their own laws and could not bear external laws, greatly reducing their power. But this time, the skeleton did not collapse. It absorbed the trace of the Undead Law, and gray-white gas appeared on its body. The skeleton’s aura surged, instantly breaking through its previous limits. On the surface, the skeleton’s level was still at the first stage of the super god level. This was because Lin Muyu’s soul level was at the first stage of the super god level, and the skeleton could not exceed this limit. However, its actual combat power was different. The Undead Law brought stronger and more lethal attack power to the skeleton, fully unleashing the death aspect of the Undead Law. Each attack carried a strong aura of death, making the skeletal god warrior like a god of death. The Undead Law also brought powerful recovery abilities to the skeleton. Even without a lich general, the skeleton itself would have strong recovery abilities. The death and life aspects of the Undead Law were perfectly embodied in the skeleton. "I live, you die!" This was the feeling the skeletal god warrior gave Lin Muyu. Lin Muyu conducted several more experiments. He now controlled two percent of the Undead Law, but his spells could only bear half of it, which was one percent. The power of the curse still existed, just weakened. Even so, it was enough to make him happy. The partial dissolution of the curse’s power allowed his spells to bear the law, greatly increasing his strength. He believed that one day, the curse’s power would be completely lifted. By then, he would be able to fully unleash the power of his spells. Outside the cultivation room, Gu Qingxuan’s eyes showed some worry. She was concerned that Lin Muyu might not successfully bring out his talent. Without the enhancement of talent, his score in the upcoming assessment would not be high. A low score would prevent him from entering the Divine City, limiting his future development. Although this would not affect her relationship with Lin Muyu, and she would still consider him a friend, she would be a bit disappointed. "Is Qingxuan worried?" Elder Luo’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear. Gu Qingxuan saw Elder Luo looking at her with a smile. Her bright eyes turned, and she ran to Elder Luo with a smile, "Do you know something?" Elder Luo’s eyes were kind, "Don’t worry, his talent has emerged, and it’s not weak." Elder Luo, who presided over the War God Hall, could sense everything happening within it. He could tell whether someone had successfully brought out their talent during the baptism of the Great World Laws. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 Hearing Elder Luo’s words, Gu Qingxuan finally felt relieved. As long as his talent had emerged, his assessment score wouldn’t be too bad. Elder Luo smiled and asked, "Do you have high hopes for him?" Gu Qingxuan nodded, "The first time I met Junior Brother Lin was in the small world. He gave me an unusual feeling, so I gave him the guiding jade pendant." Elder Luo understood her meaning, "He shouldn’t disappoint you." "I hope so. Whether I can enter the Divine City depends on him," Gu Qingxuan said softly. Lin Muyu’s performance would affect the rewards she received and her current task. A well-done task would give her a chance to enter the Divine City. The baptism gradually ended, and the Divine Cauldron also stopped watering. The Talent Tree had grown to two hundred meters tall, with purple flames burning at its roots and golden light flowing through its countless branches. The roots of the Talent Tree extended into an unknown void, continuously absorbing energy and converting it into pure soul power for the soul. Even during cultivation, as long as the soul level increased, the soul power would be replenished in minutes. After the soul was satiated, the excess soul power would spread into the soul world, making it stronger. Lin Muyu checked his soul world. Outside the soul world was a solid shell, like armor, protecting the entire world. Most of the shell had become transparent, like crystal, with only a small part still resembling glass. The soul body had mostly turned jade-colored, with only a small part remaining golden. A jade-colored soul and a crystal world—reaching this stage meant achieving a fourth-grade soul. A first-grade super god, a second-grade true god, a third-grade god king. A fourth-grade soul was the foundation for becoming a god emperor and the most challenging step. Countless people were stuck at this step, unable to progress for millions of years. Lin Muyu, with just first-stage super god strength, had nearly reached the fourth-grade soul level. No one would believe it if he told them. After the baptism ended, Lin Muyu checked his talent. **[Supreme (Second Stage): Spell amplification increased to 200 times, all members of the undead army share damage and life force, reducing damage by two times. The undead army and its master will be reborn upon receiving fatal damage, instantly recovering to peak state, with all spells resetting their cooldowns. Rebirth can occur every 50 seconds.]** His talent had grown to the second stage. Spell amplification had increased from 100 times to 200 times. The damage the undead army had to endure also increased from one time to two times. This quadrupled the strength of the undead army. Lin Muyu’s own reduction in elemental and physical law damage jumped from 10,000 times to 40,000 times. With this level of damage reduction, Lin Muyu felt that even a fifth-stage true god would find it hard to kill him. The cooldown for the full rebirth talent was reduced by 5 seconds, now at 50 seconds. This was also a significant improvement. His talent was so strong, it was terrifying. Antares had said never to reveal his talent, and indeed, it was wise advice. ---
