Hei Yuan was truly determined this time, no longer hiding anything. He spoke, "When we entered the Amazon, we encountered a sub-origin being named 'Nikolophia.' That sub-origin being's strength was beyond imagination. By herself, she easily overwhelmed all of us, including our mentors Zheng Xian and Hu Xinyang."

"One person? There's a monster like that in the Amazon?"

Lin You widened his eyes. What did it mean for one person to suppress Heiyuan and the others?

There are three masters alone!

Even the Venus monster can't easily suppress three masters, right?

Of course, the master level is also divided into three stars, and there is actually a big difference in combat power.

If they were all as powerful as their teacher, it might be easier to deal with, but Zheng Xian and Hu Xinyang are not like that!

Lin You had read the information of these two mentors before, and knew that Zheng Xian's duel level was Master Three Stars, the same level as Xia Yan, and Hu Xinyang was also a veteran Master Two Star!

Lin You couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, this is impossible, right? With the strength of Mr. Zheng and the others, the monsters they mainly drive should have reached the Venus level, right? In the face of such strength, even the monsters from the Venus Secret Realm would be no match, right?"

After all, Zheng Xian is not the only one he is facing.

There are so many mentors!

"What are you thinking about?"

Hei Yuan rolled his eyes at Lin You, but then explained, "Who told you that a master-level duelist can just use a Venus monster as their trump card? Venus monsters are more precious and more powerful than you think."

"Can't I?"

Lin You was stunned, then subconsciously said, "I see that Glory-class monsters mainly drive Red Star monsters, and Master-class monsters can perfectly carry Dark Red Star monsters. So, it stands to reason that a Master like Mr. Zheng, who is a three-star master, should have no problem carrying a Venus monster, right?"

"Of course not."

Hei Yuan was a little speechless, but thinking that Lin You was still a newbie in dueling after all, it was normal for him not to know the details of these dueling masters.

He couldn't help but explain, "The gap between the Venus monster and the Dark Red Star is like a chasm. It's wider than any other gap between two monsters of similar levels. In other words, this gap is simply insurmountable. You should know what I mean."

"Is the gap so big?"

Lin You was a little surprised. Doesn’t the so-called insurmountable mean that even the strongest dark red star monster is destined to be no match for the weakest Venus monster?

Even between the dark red star and the red star, it doesn't seem to have reached this point, right?

Although the gap is huge, if some top-level red star monsters reach the ace level and fight above their level, it may not be difficult to deal with some ordinary dark red star monsters!

Seeing that he was somewhat incredulous, Hei Yuan explained again: "Take the Red Star and Dark Red Star monsters as an example. Where do you think the biggest difference between them lies?"

"Levels of Life."

Lin You gave the answer without hesitation.

Hei Yuan chuckled and said, "You're quite cunning. This answer can be applied to any monster with a different level. But this is actually the most clear. Life levels vary. The gap between each level is often difficult to make up. The most significant benefit brought by life levels is vitality. Strong vitality allows high-level monsters to easily withstand the massive attacks and even combat skills of low-level monsters!"

"In addition, the higher the level, the higher the immunity to many cards. This means that higher-level monsters are more difficult to target with cards. If you want to target them, you have to upgrade your magic and trap cards to a level that is effective against the target. When a monster reaches the red star level, its immunity increases dramatically."

Lin Youshen agreed and said, "That's right. Before Red Star, even Super Black Star monsters could be targeted with the lowest one-star Spell and Trap Cards. The only difference was that the magic power consumed would be greater. But at Red Star, no matter how much magic power is consumed, it won't be effective. Even at Four Star, it can only barely produce some effect."

Hei Yuan nodded slightly and continued, "When monsters arrive on Red Star, they undergo a qualitative change. The biggest difference between Dark Red Star and Red Star is still reflected in their vitality. Of course, other aspects, such as card immunity, super destructive ability, and aura strength, will all be improved. Combined with the much more vigorous vitality, the gap between Dark Red Star and Red Star is extremely large! But even so..."

After a pause, he said, "There's still a possibility that the Red Star monsters could defeat the Dark Red Star monsters! The reason is that, while the Dark Red Star monsters are powerful and have made leaps in many aspects, just like the previous level gaps, they're still missing a key strengthening point. Do you know what it is?"

Hei Yuan looked at Lin You, who was lost in thought. Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly and he said, "It's defensive power!"

"You're still as smart as ever."

Hei Yuan couldn't help but praise him, then said, "That's right, it's the defense. Before Venus, no matter how the monster's level increased, the defense always remained at the basic panel value. This resulted in the defense becoming less and less effective the higher the monster's level. Even if the base defense was 3,000, 4,000, or even higher, it would pale in comparison to the Red Star monster's super-destructive attack mode. But..."

The topic then changed. "When a monster reaches Venus, its defense will be enhanced just like its attack power, which will be enhanced by super destructive power. This will give rise to a new combat method called the Infinite Body. The basis of the Infinite Body lies in its defense value. Just as super destructive power can multiply attack value, the Infinite Body can also multiply defense value. And because it is a Venus monster, the multiplication level starts at a higher level. At the lowest, it is 10 times stronger, and the most common is 15 times!"

15 times!

Lin You's heart was shocked.

It has reached the Venus level, so normally, the basic defense strength, at least, is 2000 points.

Combined with 15 times the Wuji body, the defense power directly soared to 30,000 points!

With this kind of defensive power, coupled with the even more terrifying vitality of the golden monster, it is not difficult to imagine that the attacks of the dark red star monster may just be scraping.

Just thinking about it makes me feel powerless!

Thinking of this, Lin You understood a little, "Then the Venus monster in the secret realm must be even more terrifying. No wonder it can suppress you to that extent."

"No, it's even better than that."

Hei Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "That guy didn't suppress our monsters by fighting us. Instead, he used a strange method to completely suppress our monsters, literally rendering them unable to move! It was like being imprisoned. And that's not all. When we left Amazon Country and reunited with Principal Xia and the others, we discovered something even more shocking... There were actually two of that Nicolophia!"

Lin You was horrified and said, "So, such a powerful being is able to split itself into two to fight?"

"This is not the most important thing..."

Black Source said solemnly, "More importantly, it can actually exist in two secret realms at the same time. This means that these secret realms that appear to us to be individual are actually very likely connected! Perhaps in ancient times, these secret realms were simply one, and these sub-origin people lived in a wider world. It's just that for some reason, they split into the major secret realms of today. Even after the split, they still have the ability to communicate with each other. The existence of Nicolophia is proof of this. I'm thinking that perhaps these secret realms have a common leader, or these sub-origin people have such a leader!"

That person is most likely the Dark King that Nicolophia mentioned!

But Heiyuan did not reveal any more about this.

It is enough to let Lin You understand the current general situation.

The Dark King was not someone he should be thinking about.

At this point, this matter is far beyond what the Jiangcheng Association can swallow unilaterally, and reporting it to the General Association is an inevitable result.

But the existence of the Dark King...if nothing unexpected happens, he would have known about it long ago.

It is currently impossible to determine what outcome this discovery will lead to.

"Leader..."

Lin You fell into thought, but after a moment, he stopped thinking about it.

Even teachers may not understand much about this kind of existence, so it is better to ask something practical.

"Teacher, you haven't answered my previous question yet. The situation in the Lightly Dangerous and Normally Dangerous Secret Realms is currently under control. The Super Dangerous and Chaos Demon Realms are the core battlefields. What about the High Dangerous Realms?"

"It's dangerous, but..."

Hei Yuan paused before saying, "As far as I know, only a few high-risk secret realms have experienced the phenomenon of chaotic demonization. Those chaotic demonized monsters have already been killed by the Association, but that was in the past. Judging from your discovery this time, perhaps many chaotic demonic beasts have learned to hide themselves. This contradicts the crazy impression left by the chaotic demonic beasts in the super-risk secret realms, but this is even more terrifying! I am sure that there are such creatures hidden in the super-risk secret realms as well, and they will only be more troublesome!"

"I didn't expect the situation to have reached this point..."

Lin You was also quite surprised. Hei Yuan seemed to be afraid that Lin You would overthink things, so he continued, "The situation is very bad, but for now, let's just leave these matters to the Association. You must also believe in the strength of the Association. No matter how difficult it is, the Duelist Association and our Chinese Duelist King will surely lead everyone through this difficult time. For now, it's enough for you to do your own thing well. I believe that with your potential, one day you will be able to reach the peak of the dueling world that ordinary people can hardly reach!"

Lin You suddenly smiled. "Teacher, I'm actually not too nervous about this. All I've been thinking about is walking the path ahead. I understand all this because I don't want to be isolated from 'reality.' Although ignorance is bliss sometimes, I don't think so. It seems you, on the other hand, have a greater sense of urgency."

Otherwise, how could he have entered a secret realm and obtained the Daoyuan Pearl!

According to the teacher's previous style, it's not so "efficient"!

Of course, this was just a joke in his heart. Lin You could probably guess some of Hei Yuan's thoughts.

This is because they feel that the human world may face difficulties in the future, so they should speed up their growth as much as possible so that they will not be unable to protect themselves in times of crisis.

I also expected that with my personality, I would rather die brilliantly than live in a safe zone.

At this moment, Hei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he said with a stern face, "What nonsense are you talking about? I, your teacher, would be nervous? You must be kidding! In this world, the person who can make me nervous has not yet been born. You haven't seen it. Before, in the Amazon Country, Zheng Xian and the others were scared to death when facing Nicolofia, but I, your teacher, remained calm. What do you call this? This is called not changing your expression even when facing a collapse! In Jiangcheng High School, how many people have the courage of your teacher?"

Lin You smiled but said nothing. Seeing Hei Yuan's face grow increasingly gloomy, he quickly said with a smile, "Great, great, great! Teacher, you are so brave. I admire you from the bottom of my heart! Also, thank you for the Dao Yuan Pearl. I will go and refine it right away!"

Just by listening to the teacher bragging, I got a Daoyuan Pearl. Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t hurt to listen to more.

Watching Lin You quickly depart with the Dao Yuan Pearl, Hei Yuan's expression gradually regained its composure. He sighed softly, "I don't know whether telling Xiao You all this now is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm afraid it's hard not to think about this kind of thing, right? If this affects his cultivation... Well, I hope he has a good sense of proportion in his heart."

…

At this moment, in the room.

Lin You, holding the Daoyuan Pearl, no longer thought about anything related to the secret realm.

It’s enough to know what happened, why worry about it so much now!

The key is to refine this source bead first!

With the previous refining experience, this time, there is no need for Heiyuan's guidance.

It is actually not difficult to refine the Daoyuan Pearl. Just use the source of the soul to guide it.

Lin You began to transform pure spiritual power, and his current transformation speed was much faster than at the beginning.

After the transformation is completed, quickly wrap the Daoyuan Pearl with soul power.

The moment the Daoyuan Pearl was touched, it reacted significantly and began to shake violently.

Lin You already had experience in this regard, so he simply increased the input of soul power, allowing the soul power to carefully wrap it up.

Gradually, the Daoyuan Pearl stopped agitating.

Wrapped in pure white soul power, the Daoyuan Pearl slowly rose, emitting a burst of white light.

The moment the white light appeared, Lin You felt his soul world leaping with joy.

Immediately, calm your mind and allow your soul to explore the world freely.

After a long time, the white light descending into the soul world was found.

"coolie!"

The little guy couldn't wait any longer. The taste of Daoyuan Pearl was extremely delicious to him!

Not long after, it appeared in the soul world and found the rich white light.

The Daoyuan Pearl slowly condensed in the center of the white light!

Soul pulling work completed!

Chestnut Ball waited excitedly.

Time passes by little by little.

Finally, the Daoyuan Pearl was completely condensed and formed, and Chestnut Ball flew into it in a hurry and took the Daoyuan Pearl away.

The white light began to dissipate rapidly, while Chestnut Ball held the Daoyuan Pearl and began to eat it with relish.

But now, after taking a bite, it is obvious that I have taken more than last time!

The refining speed has increased!

As Chestnut Ball gnawed on the Daoyuan Pearl, Lin You's soul world also began to grow.

Lin Youjing was concentrating on sensing the various changes in the soul world, and paid special attention to one thing.

Not long after, he discovered that a golden light flashed through the soul world.

Did it appear again?

Lin You didn’t know what this thing was, but it was obviously not ordinary.

Otherwise, it would not always appear in his soul world. Even every time he drew an intermediate card, he saw the same golden light!

This further proves its extraordinaryness!

So...what is it?

Thinking about these things, time passed quickly.

Before he knew it, Li Ziqiu had finished eating the entire Daoyuan Pearl.

At this moment, a slight tremor was heard from the boundless soul world.

Deep in the sky, the golden light streaked across the sky like a shooting star!

Crash.

Lin You heard the strange sound of flowing river, which was consistent with his experience of refining the Daoyuan Pearl for the first time.

The river water is clearly very subtle, but it also reveals a sense of surging.

It lasted for a long time before disappearing from Lin You's ears.

And at the moment when the sound of the river disappeared, a special card suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The reason why this card is special is that apart from the outline of the card, there is only a subtle red shadow on the card surface.

Anyone who sees it will probably find it incomprehensible!

The moment he saw this card, Lin You was shocked.

No one cares about feeling the changes in the soul world.

"Origin Card?"
