49 A Piece of Bad News (1/2)

Most of them started to get tired of the intense attacks they were being pummeled with.

At four o’clock, right before dawn, the duration of attack was then almost 20 hours.

Lin Huang felt drained from all the fighting.

If not for his passive skill ‘Robust’ that was supporting him, he would not even have the strength to lift his sword.

The young men’s condition was slightly better than Lin Huang but they were not in any form to continue holding the line.

Lin Huang did not know how many monsters he and Bai killed.

The Life Wheel in his body had been filled with Life Light and it was almost overflowing. There were 357 columns that were filled with white light, and there were only three gray columns left in his Life Wheel.

”Xiao Hei, cut off the Life Light transfer between me and Bai now!” Lin Huang instructed Xiao Hei immediately when he noticed what was happening to his Life Wheel.

”You have requested to cut off the transfer of Life Light with Bai. Disconnection is complete!”

Xiao Hei fulfilled Lin Huang’s request immediately.

The disconnection was to allow the Life Light to be transferred to Bai as the Life Light in Lin Huang’s Life Wheel was almost full.

Once the 360 columns were full, Lin Huang could get a Life Light Baptism if he was to kill an Iron-level monster and he would be upgraded to iron-level.

However, the upgrade to Iron-level would come together with a Life Seed.

The Life Seed was used to strengthen talents that one was born with or had the potential to wield so it was crucial to choose wisely.

Life Seeds were categorized into five which were the Elemental System, Strengthening System, Psychic System, Special System and Compound System.

Lin Huang knew which Life Seed he wanted since the beginning. He wanted the Sword Strengthening System, which could only be obtained by killing monsters with his sword.

However, no monster that fit the criteria existed in the monster horde so Lin Huang chose not to upgrade to iron-level at the moment.

It was six in the morning. The sun rose from the horizon shedding light on the battlefield.

Lin Huang just chopped off a monster’s head, panting as he did. He looked up to the direction of sunrise.

”The sun is finally out…” he thought.

The past two hours was hell as every minute and every second was a torment to them.

He chose not to upgrade to iron-level. Although he had his passive skill ‘Robust’ to support him, his strength was not comparable to the young men of iron-level rank-3.

Every swing of the sword was getting harder for him.

”Lin Huang, are you okay?” Zhou Le and the rest noticed that Lin Huang was slowing down.

”Shouldn’t be a problem over a short period of time. But if the situation persists, I think I won’t be able to take this anymore,” Lin Huang honestly voiced out his concern. He estimated that he could stand for a maximum of two hours.

”Why not you take a rest. We can handle it,” Zhou Le suggested although he knew that without Lin Huang, the task would be much more difficult.

”It’s no use even if I rest, the most I could take would be a couple more hours. Furthermore, it's not only me, everyone is exhausted. The line will collapse if we give in, it’s just the matter of time,” Lin Huang shook his head while looking at the gap at the canyon mouth. ”We need to solve the root of the problem!” he concluded.

”What is the root of the problem?” Zhou Le asked immediately.
