Spirit Ascension platform
After killing all of them by using different traps and his godly Crystallokinesis. Fan Lin was finally sitting on a rock while assimilating the spirit energy around him.
In the past 11 months of timeskip, Fan Lin had trained like crazy. In the mornings, he ran around the Academy and then attended classes or directly went to the Spirit Ascension platform. After that he would eat and use his first soul skill to absorb his food better. Then he would prepare for his class studies and other news. At night he would train hard.
In the past year, after getting the permission to use his first soul skill in school. Fan Lin started using it all the time except for when he went to the spirit ascension platform.
His first Spirit soul had already advanced and reached hundred year old yellow spirit soul while his second ring was still green. After a bit of fiddling and observations, he found out that his second ring is special. It hadn't absorbed a single bit of spirit energy but the human faced spider still grew a lot.
Moving on, he just needed a few more days of grinding and his spirit soul would be thousand year old purple spirit soul.
Fan Lin was surprised when his first spirit soul advanced into a hundred year one. A new message appeared in his eyes.
[Soul skill: Enhanced Digestion evolved to Ultimate digestion.
Ultimate digestion: Digestion increased by 700%. ]
It was terrifying. The food was digested at a speed far faster than his normal digestion speed. And the after effects were also increased. The amount of soul energy he could accumulate increased by 14 times but the downside being the overcharged state got longer and more dangerous.
It was thanks to this that he can become a level 26 soul Grandmaster so fast.
Now there were less than a month away from the Shrek's admission and Fan Lin had achieved a lot more that he had expected.
And half of it was due to his second soul skill, Crystallokinesis. A skill that was beyond this world. It was too powerful, easy to control and didn't rely on soul power.
[Wait till you know about Tang Wulin's skills or Tang San's]
The only downside of it was that it needed spirit power to control it. The range was dependent on spirit power. The control depended on spirit power. Every bit of it depended on Spirit power.
When he first got this soul skill the range was 2 meters around him. It can appear from any place of the ground, or any surface that his body was in contact with or any earthen surface in the proximity of two meters around him. Later it increased to 3 meters. Now it was 5 meters. Give or take.
Once again, it can appear from any place on the ground in the 5 meter radius around him His control also got better on it and now he can even make blankets out of it.
And adding to his Blue Silver Grass that could do the same.
It was godly overpowering. Crystallokinesis that is. The Blue silver grass still needs some more effective training.
A year has passed since he left the Eastsea Academy. Shrek will start it's admission next month. He has already gotten his quota. He will leave the Earthrock Alliance next week. But before that he need to do a lot of things in this city.
'Did I repeat something? I feel like I thought it a while ago.'
Since coming here, the Principal of the Academy helped him a lot. He granted him leave permission whenever Fan Lin had wanted. He allowed to him go outside whenever Fan Lin had been wanted. He increased the number of vegetarian dishes and their quality once he knew that Fan Lin only ate vegetables. He even provided him a single person dorm that was even better than his own office.
Even though Fan Lin knew that the Principal was doing all this to not get on the Earthrock Alliance President's bad side, he didn't care.
He was provided the greatest care and freedom in this small academy since his coming to this world. He would repay them not just because he could but because he wanted to repay them.
He went to the Principal's office. This time he knocked before entering. After getting the reply that he can come in, he opened the door and got inside. The Principal stood when he came in. As he should.
"Do you need anything student Fan?" He asked me.
"No Sir, I just wanted to meet you one last time."
"So you are going. To Shrek, I presume. "
"I am. But before that I wanted to give some presents to this school sir."
(sir was said like that)
"No. No, you don't need to give us anything at all. Just the Alliance admission quota was enough to raise our prestige a lot."
"I never asked Sir. I was telling you. I have given it already."
"Huh. Oh sorry Fan Lin I didn't know."
"You don't need to be sorry Sir. I should have asked first. Thank you for taking care of me." After saying that he politely left the office.
He had given the Shining Moon Academy 300 million Federal credits.
'Petty money like this doesn't matter to me, it's not like it's my own anyways. Plus a good school can raise the future pillars of our society.'
"ha ha ha ha hahaha hahahaha, As if someone would believe that reason."
'It was not that much for me as I am going to earn much more than that in a few days. But for the academy whose yearly income was less than 10 million Alliance coins. It was a lot. A lot."
I am such a sweetheart!
*A week later*
Spirit Ascension platform.
A boy could be seen absorbing the last of the spirit energy in his surroundings. His spirit soul had already surpassed the limit of hundred year old soul beast absorbing rate and would evolve after his exit of the spirit ascension platform.
Fan Lin looked at the disappearing bodies of his victims. He was happy. Fan Lin was really happy. He had spent a year on killing people, attracting unnecessary attention and even nearly getting solicited to just reach his end goal of have a thousand year old Spirit Soul before Shrek's admission exams.
He could have taken it easy but chose not to.
His training with blue Silver grass wasn't that perfect though. He needed a live target for his bondage practice.
[...what?]
With the aid of the hundred year old first spirit soul, him eating like a bull and the internal bombings, his body had became stronger, faster and durable. All the pain and blood finally paid their price.
'I will just treat it as my periods. The painful ones.'
The half energy body theory was true. It could happen. He made it happen, although his contribution was nil in it.
After coming in this world, after 7 years, 7 whole years, he felt like he was worthy now. Worthy of doing what he wanted to do. To protect and change this world.
But the fact that he was thinking of causing mass changes to an already established world without even having any proper or deeper knowledge of the know how of what was actually going on in the world and just purely because he didn't like a certain thing, he didn't seem that worthy anymore.
Like something was missing. Something great.
"Benevolence. That's what it is."
He muttered out loud. To whom but himself.
After absorbing the last bit of the spirit energy. He pressed the escape button and came out of the pod. The staff greeted him with a smile and he got out of the pod.
His face had become familiar to all the employees of the spirit ascension platform now due to his feats and the sheer number of appointments that he had. At one point, they thought he was a hundred thousand year old beast reincarnated as human and that's why he was killing humans.
They secretly asked the headquarters to send an expert to check it. The expert had declared him normal though, contrary to the thought of the staff that were waiting for the good news and a promotion.
The expert had later on tried to invite Fan Lin to join Spirit Pagoda but too bad, the Tang sect had already poached him a long time ago.
And today was his last appointment. He will leave for Shrek the same night. The staff felt a little sad at his departure. He was the extra income earner for their Pagoda as whenever he had came, they had been able to sell three to fives times the quota amounts due to him killing the people and making space for others.
Now he was going to a far away place, to another Pagoda, never to return at that. He will be missed.
"So you are going to Shrek Academy." A
staff asked Fan Lin.
"I am. Thanks for taking care of me."
Fan Lin said with emotion. For the past year, this place has nearly became his second home, owning to the amount of times he spent in the Spirit Ascension platform.
"That's our job."
One of the staff lady said with tears in her eye and after some warm words and happy greetings, Fan Lin left the Spirit Pagoda under the watchful eyes of all the staff.
The staff immediately messaged the headquarters. The message was received.
"Kid you dare to lie to me." Said someone in Shrek city after after receiving the message from the branch. This was why you don't tell the strangers about what you are going to do next or where you are going to.
Corporate workers were just that. Slaves to the money.
Fan Lin was unaware of this though and was thinking of his plan. He prepared three backups just in case. For a completely different scenario though.
*Two weeks later*
{The mystery gang strikes again.}
Fan Lin saw this headline flash by just as he got down from the soul train.
'They even broadcasted the news in the Shrek city huh.'
''Why wouldn't they?"
{This time the mysterious gang targeted more than 53 small cities at the same time on the same night. The Federation is in uproar and the parliament was going to held a meeting for this today.}
{The people killed this time amassed more than 70 thousand in death counts and the Federation had put a curfew in the Western region and on big cities. The mysterious gang needs to be stopped! This needs to be stopped. Those innocents need justice. If any of the people has any information on this gang please inform us on XXX XX XX}
{Mysterious gang is responsible for more than 90 thousand deaths in the past five years. Here's a recap on what they have done till.....}
{ Mysterious gang... Yada yada }
'All the news channels are broadcasting the same news. Looks like the matter has become serious. I have already used all five plans and their backups though
*Five days before*
Skysea City
"Are all the preparations done? If it is, commence the plan."
'I said to the level seventy four Soul Sage. I didn't knew his name. He never told me and neither was I interested. He was my new scapegoat. Except him, no one knew me.'
My plan this time was big and for that I needed this guy's help. This time it will the higher risk but medium rewards.
The plan was simple, to prepare as much poison as I can and then to send it to the respective gangs by someone whose name was revered in the underworld. Someone that gangs couldn't refuse.
The first part: gathering enough poison was done with his help. He had huge connections and his manpower was higher than Fan Lin had expected. Child labour was truly unaccountable for. He even ran a gargantuan information network through them.
The children of nowadays were truly doing major things!
Second part: to make sure only the criminals were harmed and to deliver the stuff to them and made them consume it willingly. Well, turns out that if you give high quality wine as a gift from the superior, the lower gangs had even paid money to drink a sip of it. Pretty weird customs of hierarchy or something.
'Good for me.'
All three was done due to his help. Maybe that's why people create organisations. It made work a lot easier. What would have needed Fan Lin a month on his own was done in just a day but a group of people and means of communication and transportation.
The plan was a huge success. Fan Lin shook hands with the boss and the boss exploded to bits.
Daimondhead's crystal can be grown inside an object and it also possess the ability to explode.
Something that Fan Lin, that is I, realised in a weird accident.
I had used the same the second he shook his hands with me since this wasn't the first time that someone was going to go after my life after the plan was finished. Even though he was a level seventy four soul sage. He still died as his insides were not strong enough to get pierced and handle explosions like Fan Lin.
People in power have this huge and also the simplest fault, they underestimate those that could be killed with just a single thought of theirs. Thought Fan Lin as he remembered his time in the Douluo world. The biggest example of this saying was always the guy in the mirror.
The man in front of him had underestimated Fan Lin. If he was on guard, then a hundred Fan Lin would not be enough as Fan Lin's second spirit ring give him a godlike abilities but it doesn't increases his time perception or made him immune to death or invincible.
He could have kill Fan Lin tens of times in just a second and Fan Lin wouldn't even have know how he died.
The people on the computers were terrified. I asked them to transfer it in my safe account, the money I got today and his total wealth. They did as I asked. They were just commoners. I let them go as I promised to leave them alive that day.
*One hour later *
I had all the money in my secure accounts. Now let's kill them as a new day had arrived.
I , for the last time, checked for any clues or hints I may have left. There were none except those five. I went to kill them.
*Present day*
I killed 4 of the 5 commoners that day. One of them, just like Wulin's father, was forced into working. He was innocent. Others weren't. I left the city the next day.
What a weird day. What a stupid world.
And the what am I?
Fan Lin. I am Fan Lin.
...
And a weird mix of Povs.
Still waiting for the feedbacks☺️
