Chapter 593: 2 essence merge

“What are you doing?”

Lin Xi said from behind me, she had repaired her equipment and stood behind me.

I held the essence and said, “Lin Xi, I got this thing in the event and after refining it, it can increase my soul power, look… Should I find a place that no one can disturb me and then refine it before supper?”

“Okay—”

She smiled, “I know a secret place that very few people know. Follow me?”

“Okay—”

I followed her into a street in the east region. She brought me through many alleys and not long later we arrived in a quiet forest. Behind it were many stone bricks and algae covered towers. It looked like it had been a long time since anyone was here. The map marked that this was the old region defence tower.

Winter Sun City was expanded many times to have its current scale. The old defence tower wasn’t taken down. Moonlight shone on the ground and it made the area even more tranquil.

“How is it?”

Lin Xi placed her hand on her waist and smiled, “I was finding maps and then found it. It is really quiet so it is impossible for players to come here. Focus on refining the soul essence, I will protect you.”

“En!”

I stepped in and headed up to the top. The sceneries around could all be seen. Lin Xi also appeared beside me and smiled, “The view is great.”

“Right!”

I said, “Suitable for dating.”

Her face flushed red, “Didn’t you say that you will refine the soul essence?”

“Oh, right…”

I laughed and started to refine it after taking out the Dragon Soul essence. Streaks of Darkness power surged around and entered the soul essence. My mind shook and the dragon soul essence was really strong. The moment I touched it, it was like I was standing in front of a volcano, I felt a huge challenge.

Lin Xi was fiddling with the Star River Shield beside me. It was a light blue shield that was filled with the feeling of the stars. She said, “Chaotic Grade… But it is a shield, what a joke, I can’t use it. Lu Li should your Paladin account take it?”

“Huh?”

I was stunned, “I haven’t use it in so long, such a waste. But it is a Chaotic Grade Shield, the top shield in the world, why not… Give it to the stronger Paladins in the guild.”

“I am reluctant, this is a reward for a full day of hard work, how can I give it to others…” She pouted.

I laughed, “Then… Let’s just keep it, if my Paladin needs it, I will ask you for it.”

“En, I will show you the stats first!”

She waved and its stats appeared in front of us, it was indeed very explosive—

……

After seeing the stats, my mouth twitched, “As compared to these stats, my Explorer Shield was like broken metal—”

Lin Xi laughed, “Explorer Shield’s effect is quite good, just that its grade and level is really low. Didn’t you use it for a long time? Even Breaking Dawn Ash had to be polite to you right?”

“True…”

I nodded, “But we are much stronger now, you have to let me feel arrogant right?”

She smiled, “Okay, be arrogant then. Refine the soul essence first, I won’t disturb you.”

She hugged the Fallen Frost Sword and sat down. She summoned the reading interface of a novel and I glanced, it was a horror grave digging novel. A girl like Lin Xi really was attractive.

……

Continue to refine!

After 20 minutes, Darkness energy continued to seep in and the outer surface of the soul essence started to break down to show the essence inside. A warm essence entered my mind and it filled the Darkness Spiritual Ruin up. No choice, Source White Dragon was too strong and this essence might just be a small part of it, but it was far stronger than my spiritual ruin.

This gap. If Source White Dragon was a god of ancient times, I was just a speck of dust.

Just like that, after 20 minutes, Lin Xi got close and said gently, “Supper is here, you aren’t finished? How long will you take?”

My soul space was filled with streams of energy and I shook my head, “It might take a long time. Go offline to eat first, just leave some for me.”

“No, I will stay here with you. I said that I would protect you, what if a bad person comes?” She said.

I laughed, “Okay—”

Just like that, after half an hour, the core of the soul essence broke down. The essence surged into my Spiritual Ruins and a giant figure appeared. It was the Source White Dragon that flew in the skies of my mind. It looked at me and said, “I didn’t expect you to quickly merge with this strength. Good kid, I am not disappointed, I hope you use this well.”

Its body disappeared.

I was stunned and the soul power started to increase. My mind felt really clear and in the next second, a bell rang–

“Ding!”

System Notification: You have awakened Soul Essence Power!

“Ding!”

System Notification: Congratulations, your skill 2 essence merge has awakened!

……

2 Essence Merge!

I was stunned and clicked on the skills. I saw the Shura Account and Paladin accounts merging into one. When I clicked on the shields, the notification said: Choose a skill to merge!

Skill merge?

On close look, I could use the skills of both accounts which meant that if I was willing, my Paladin account could use Apprehension, Annihilation and my Assassin account could use Saint Healing Hammer and Envoy of Light. But each skill needed some effort and once merged, it couldn’t be reversed.

So I had a choice, use my Paladin or use the Assassin account.

I hesitated for a moment but still chose the Assassin. Of course, I played Assassin before this and my Paladin was just to serve Lin Xi. Now that I could merge both, my Paladin’s health, defence, damage reduction skills etc could be used by my Assassin. That was overpowered!

I sucked in a deep breath, time to try!

I selected the Assassin to merge the Paladin’s skill– Ash Fortress!

“Shua—”

A channel bar appeared in front of me, but this process actually needed three hours! Moreover, I couldn’t move and could only stand there for the bar to end. Three hours, seems like I could read a novel too! Moreover, tonight was definitely not enough.

Cancel, do it tomorrow!

I stood up and smiled, “Lin Xi, we can eat supper.”

“Oh? You finished?” She smiled.

“En!”

“What changes are there?”

“Didn’t you see me become more handsome?”

“I…”

……

I took out the city return scroll and headed back to Winter Sun City. I looked at the maintenance timer and the entire Dragon Region was unavailable. The map would activate at noon so there was nothing good to say. I could have a good sleep and merge with the Paladin skills tomorrow!

When I took off the helmet, I saw Shen Mingxuan opening the crayfish packaging. The scent spread across the second floor.

“Is this the one from Dongwu Mall?” I asked.

“Ah!?”

Her body shook and she looked at me, “Do you have the nose of a dog?”

“Damn!”

I stared, “How are you talking to the future Dragonrider like that?”

“Aren’t you an assassin? Ride what…” She stared.

I touched my nose, “Let me tell you, if I work hard enough, I ca make my Paladin into a dragonrider. Don’t kneel down and beg me to bring you to fly!”

“Scoff, I will let Lin Xi do it, it is the same thing.”

“…”

Lin Xi took off her helmet and smiled, “I hear you all quarrelling before I even came offline. If you don’t want to eat then go out, no one will force you.”

“No no no, I want!”

“Scoff!”

Lin Xi looked at me and asked, “Do you want the shield?”

I sucked in a deep breath, “Yes, pass it to me tomorrow!”

“En—”
