Chapter 684 - Genius the Creation Master

Connected Tails also allowed Lin Yuan to solve one of his previous problems.

Previously, when Lin Yuan had been looking at Wen Yu’s Elemental Paper’s Hear Heaven’s Secrets, he wondered whether it could be used in conjunction with Gray.

It would enable Gray to open up all the world’s secrets to Wen Yu when it used Cloud Morph.

Anything that happened under the cloud-covered sky would become a reference book for Hear Heaven’s Secrets.

Now, Genius’s Connected Tails could form a bridge between Gray and Wen Yu.

It allowed Wen Yu and Gray to share their thinking and intentions.

This was the equivalent of having an all-seeing eye that they could use to collect intelligence reports.

A faction needed to show their power in order to expand..

The Floating Island Whale’s power was hard power, while intelligence reports were a form of soft power. If they could be combined and expanded upon, it would form an unshakable foundation for a faction.

At this moment, Lin Yuan heard Genius say with joyful surprise, “Yuan, I can protect you now that I’ve evolved to Silver grade!”

When Lin Yuan heard what Genius said, he immediately knew what Genius was talking about. It was referring to the new ability that it gained after evolving to Silver grade—Spiritual Energy Expansion.

Although, according to True Data’s introduction of Spiritual Energy Expansion, Lin Yuan could not willfully use Genius’ spiritual energy, Genius’ spiritual energy could be used as Lin Yuan’s charger or reservoir.

The amount of damage that spiritual-type feys could cause was determined by the strength of the fey’s spiritual energy relative to its target.

The stronger the spiritual energy, the stronger its durability.

It was just like how feys with thicker skin could sustain heavier physical damage.

If Xin Ying, Tan Ran, and Lu Pinru’s spiritual energy had been strong enough, their five senses would not have been stolen so easily.

Moreover, if their spiritual energy had been at least twice as strong as the Sense-Stealing King Venom, it would have experienced backlash and been seriously injured when it tried to steal their five senses.

Lin Yuan’s current defensive abilities lay in the Source Sand’s defense against elemental and physical effects.

As for spiritual defense, Lin Yuan had been relying on Morbius’ Calm Mind.

However, Calm Mind’s main function was to defend Lin Yuan against hypnotism or dizziness. It was not very effective against purely spiritual damage.

Now, Genius’ Spiritual Energy Expansion boosted Lin Yuan’s spiritual defense to a higher level.

However, it was not as simple a matter of boosting the level of spiritual defense.

Spiritual Energy Expansion was the equivalent of setting up four dams around Lin Yuan. In the event of a spiritual attack, the four dams would need to be destroyed before any damage would be dealt to Lin Yuan.

As long as the dams remained intact, the spiritual attacks would not have much effect on Lin Yuan.

The fey that used spiritual attacks on Lin Yuan would also have to deal with the combined effects of Lin Yuan and Genius’ spiritual energy.

Although Genius’ spiritual energy was only meant for storing information and not offense, it could learn all the information in the world. This was evidence of how mountainous Genius’ spiritual energy was.

With these combined effects, any fey that used spiritual effects on Lin Yuan would be walking into a wall. It would engage in a moronic and futile battle that would only end in its own demise.

The weak point in Lin Yuan’s defense had been perfectly patched up after Genius evolved to Silver grade.

As long as Genius and the Source Sand continued to evolve, Lin Yuan’s defensive abilities would only become stronger.

Genius’ evolution had already reached a good place.

Lin Yuan still had 18 spirit qi crystals, but he would not use them to evolve his own feys.

He kept these spirit qi crystals not only to use in the collaboration with Condense Fairy Orchard as it would not require so many spirit qi crystals.

Although the Sun family was a top faction and had accumulated many Law Crystal fragments over the years, they did not have many complete Law Crystals.

Every spirit qi crystal could evolve five or six Bronze/Epic feys to Legend.

Thus, Lin Yuan would only need one or two spirit qi crystals for his collaboration with the Sun family.

Lin Yuan kept these spirit qi crystals because he was afraid that something similar to what had happened in the evolving water world dimensional rift would occur.

If Lin Yuan had not used a spirit qi crystal to revive the Insect Queen, the Insect Queen would have died on the spot, much less evolve as it did later on.

Without sufficient spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan would not have been able to evolve the Jasmine Lily to Gold I/Fantasy III during the emergency.

If the Jasmine Lily had not evolved, Liu Jie would not have survived.

Ever since that incident, Lin Yuan had decided that no matter how little spirit qi crystals he had on hand, he would set some aside in case of emergencies.

Despite having 18 spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan felt that they were not enough. He felt that he was in great need of a Myth Breed fey that had experienced World Grace and World Grace.

As he looked at Genius, he held his breath and mulled for a moment before solemnly instructing Genius, “Genius, use your spiritual energy and try to lift the Elemental Shellfish again.”

After Genius’ evolution, its spiritual energy became much stronger, and its ability to manipulate spiritual energy increased as well.

Lin Yuan wanted to see to what extent it had increased so he could make further plans.

When Genius received Lin Yuan’s instructions, its blue eyes narrowed. Then, a wave of spiritual energy flooded out of Genius’ body and formed two hands in the air.

Lin Yuan looked at the two hands that just materialized, then looked back at his own hands. He felt that those hands had been carved from the image of his own hands.

Eventually, he saw Genius easily lift the Elemental Shellfish.

The Elemental Shellfish was so scared that it shut its shell.

Genius clearly still had some strength left.

Lin Yuan could not help but slap his leg.

Creation Masters did not need to go through much physical labor when they evolved feys. All they needed was their hands, spiritual ingredients, and spiritual energy.

They needed their hands to mix the spirit fluid and spiritual energy to homogenize the spiritual ingredients.

The two hands that had been formed from Genius’ spiritual energy could already perform this task.
