Chapter 154: Magic Talent For Ten Elements, Coming Back To Life

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Many metal spikes that could cover the whole place pierced through the air and shot toward Meng Lei at lightning-quick speed. They reached right in front of Meng Lei in an instant, seemingly wanting to stab so many holes into him that he’d turn into a sieve.

There was nowhere to hide and nowhere to dodge, so he could only take them on head-on.

“Piece of cake!”

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. With a mere thought, Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor quietly manifested.

Then, while facing the whole sky of spikes, Meng Lei charged brazenly toward the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle, all the while actually ignoring Arrow Storm, the ninth-grade spell.

Whoosh!

At the sight of this, the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s head retracted into its shell again, leaving Meng Lei only an enormous turtle shell.

“This again? Can’t you just fight me head-on?”

Meng Lei was rendered somewhat speechless. “Looks like a turtle will always be a turtle. Even if it has put on golden armor and given itself an impressive name, it can’t change its scaredy-cat nature.

“Never mind. You like being a coward, don’t you? In that case, then don’t ever come back out.

“Fire-elemental single-target first-class spell, Meteor Fall!”

Rip!

A rip suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, a gigantic meteor more than 1,000-meters-wide in diameter with black flames circling around it descended from the sky. It came crashing down, carrying with it an aura capable of destroying everything in the world.

Roar!

Even though the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s head had already retracted into its shell, it could still sense the life-threatening danger coming from the sky, nonetheless.

It knew very well that once it was struck by a fearsome first-class spell like Meteor Fall, it would suffer grave injuries even if it survived.

The Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle went into a huge panic. A dazzling golden shield manifested around it, firmly protecting it from incoming danger.

It was the Ninth-Grade Spell, Golden Guardian!

It wasn’t over yet, though.

A few hydras then rose from the ocean and circled around the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle, forming a thick shield of Water Elements around it.

It was the Ninth-Grade Spell, Poseidon Barrier!

“What the hell?”

At the sight of this, the corners of Meng Lei’s lips spasmed a couple of times. As expected of a scaredy-cat. First the Golden Guardian, and then Poseidon Barrier... Was it planning to die defending itself?

Boom!

At that moment, the black meteor carrying a terrifying strength crashed heavily onto the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle. Then...

Boom!

It easily ripped the Poseidon Barrier apart.

Then, it went on to break the Golden Guardian before finally crashing onto the turtle shell.

At last, it stopped moving! Meteor Fall had come to a stop!

At the very last moment, the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle had used its sturdy and indestructible turtle shell to fend off Meteor Fall’s violent attack.

Roar!

With a roar, the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s head poked out of the shell as a smug look flashed across its eyes. It said in an aged voice, “Trying to kill me, human? You’re still too soft!”

“Is that so?!”

Meng Lei only gave it a smile, refraining from saying anything further.

As his hand pressed downward lightly, another black meteor popped out of the fissure and came crashing down.

“Instant release of a first-class spell? Who exactly are you?!”

The Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets as it stared at the other Meteor Fall that had abruptly appeared, its heart filled to the brim with fear and horror.

It tried desperately to cast a defensive spell to protect itself so that it could avoid the fate of being crushed to death.

However, it turned out to be a major miscalculation this time—after the second meteor came the third, the fourth, and the fifth!

As though shooting stars chasing after the moon, a succession of four black meteors came crashing down one after another. They carried an overwhelming and terrifying destructiveness as they crashed onto the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle successively!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Amid violent, intense crashes that rang out one after another, the entire island was shaken down to its core. Smoke and dust billowed and roiled about with only the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s pitiful cries echoing for a long time...

The system notification rang out in a timely fashion at this point.

“Ding! 1 Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle killed. 13 billion gold coins gained!”

“Piece of cake! Did you really think that there was nothing I could do about you? No matter how tough your turtle shell may be, there’s no way you can block my first-class spell!”

Meng Lei snorted lightly. Then, he gave the order resolutely. “System, steal the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s water-elemental magic talent!”

Whoosh!

His Wealth decreased by 3 billion gold coins in an instant.

“Water-elemental magic talent in the bag now... I have a total of nine elements now! I’m just missing light-elemental magic talent!”

Meng Lei nodded in satisfaction. After gouging out the Titanic Golden-Shell Turtle’s magic core, he then stepped into the magic circle leading to the 36th level without even looking back.

At Level 36—”Ding! 1 Double-Heart Rainbow Scorpion killed. 14.6 billion gold coins gained!”

At Level 37—”Ding! 1 Six-Winged Extraterrestrial Demon Bug killed. 16.1 billion gold coins gained!”

At Level 38—”Ding! 1 Evil-Eye Overlord killed. 17.3 billion gold coins gained!”

At Level 39—”Ding! 1 Two-Headed Great Earth Lion killed. 18.1 billion gold coins gained!”

At Level 40—”Ding! 1 Golden-Winged Holy Light Tiger killed. 19.6 billion gold coins gained!”

“The Golden-Winged Holy Light Tiger, a Metal-Elemental, Thunder-Elemental, and Light-Elemental Saint Domain Magical Beast! Thank heavens, I’ve finally encountered a Light-Elemental Magical Beast!

“System, steal the Golden-Winged Holy Light Tiger’s light-elemental magic talent!

“It’s done! I now have magic talent for all ten elements!

“Surely my current self can match up to that Adolf guy in terms of magic talent now, right?!

“This feeling sure is great!”

Meng Lei could clearly sense all ten types of magic elements in the universe. The golden Metal Elements, cyan Wind Elements, yellow Earth Elements, green Wood Elements, blue Water Elements, red Fire Elements, silver Thunder Elements, black Dark Elements...

Every one of the magic elements was like dancing fairies—they were either nimble and agile, or light and gentle, or dense and heavy, or violent and raging, or cold and aloof, or lively and bubbly...

Ten types of elements!

Every one of them was different from the other!

“The world of magic elements is truly fascinating. What would it be like if I could comprehend all ten elements’ laws of nature someday?”

Meng Lei shook his head to clear his thoughts. Then, just as he was about to head toward the magic circle leading to the 41st level, Ol’ Amos’ voice rang out. “Let’s stop here for now. You’ve already stayed in the Dragon God Tower for more than 20 hours. Are you still intending to take part in the exchange competition or not?”

“More than 20 hours?”

Meng Lei was startled by his words. He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it—it was currently 6:45. He couldn’t help but comment in puzzlement, “Is it the evening or morning the next day now?”

“Duh! It’s morning the next day, of course!” Ol’ Amos rolled his eyes. “Aren’t you supposed to assemble at the Dragon God Cathedral at 8 a.m.? If you continue to challenge the tower, you’re going to miss the exchange competition.”

“Alright!”

Meng Lei shook his head, not quite having had his fill of fun yet. “So much time passed before I even realized it. Time sure passes really fast.”

However, as he gazed at his assets that had spiked dramatically in value, Meng Lei couldn’t help but smile. After conversion, 13.5 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals equated to 135,068,947,455 gold coins!

“135 billion gold coins! In less than a day, I’ve already earned so much!

“If I were to stay for another period of time, how much more would I earn?

“The Dragon God Tower is my land of blessings, indeed. How awesome!”

Meng Lei suppressed the urge to guffaw into the sky. Then, he started to double back.

Going back was a lot simpler. He flew at his fastest speed, and in just a few minutes, he was already back at the magic circle.

Whoosh!

The environment changed, and he returned to the 39th level.

Roar!

A low roar reached his ears at this moment. Meng Lei turned to see a lion-type Magical Beast that was as big as a mountain ridge glaring viciously at him. Its fangs were bared, and it had a savage look in its eyes.

“A Two-Headed Great Earth Lion?” Meng Lei looked absolutely stupefied. “What the heck? Didn’t I already kill it? Why is it still alive?”

Meng Lei remembered very clearly that he had definitely killed the Saint Domain Magical Beast guarding the magic circle—the Two-Headed Great Earth Lion—when he’d passed through the 39th level. He had even gouged out its magic core.

It should’ve been deader than dead, so why had it come back to life?

“This is just the way it should be. Don’t be so surprised!”
