"Di Esi... a born Nirvana Being..." Demon Bone's eyes held a hint of complexity, and after a long pause he said, "I have a favor to ask of you, and it won't be for nothing. Help with this task, and this Tenth Turn Ice Armor Ripper will be yours to keep as a pet."
"A Tenth Turn Ascension Pet!" Lin Shen and Tian Xin both expressed their surprise.
They knew this humanoid tank-like creature was strong, but they hadn't expected it to be as strong as the Tenth Turn.
"Considering the high reward you're offering, may I know what task requires our assistance?" Lin Shen didn't believe in free lunches.
"The task is not difficult. You just need to deliver a ssage for to soone at the Supre Clan, and then bring his response," Demon Bone paused, then added, "No matter what his response is, the Ice Armor Ripper is yours."
Having said that, the vines on Demon Bone's body began to move, unfurling from him and delivering two items to Lin Shen and Tian Xin.
"This is your advance paynt," Demon Bone explained.
Lin Shen carefully examined the object brought to him by the vine, which turned out to be an Ascension Egg the size of a fist.
Tian Xin received an Ascension Egg as well, and the eggs in front of the two appeared to be slightly different.
"Both of these eggs are Mutated Ascension Eggs, which you should find useful in the future," Demon Bone said, pausing before continuing, "The Five Elents Tree King Fruit you harvested would be best consud after Ascension. They are more potent than the regular Five Elents Fruit and are equally effective for Ascenders.
Many Ascended Creatures in the valley covet the fruits of the Five Elents Tree King but lack the ability to harvest them. When you leave, I'll have the Ice Armor Ripper escort you out."
Lin Shen was taken aback, realizing only then that the Ascended Creatures lurking in the shadows weren't sent by Demon Bone.
The two exchanged glances and accepted the Mutated Ascension Eggs.
"Who in the Supre Clan do you want us to find, and what ssage are we delivering?" Tian Xin asked.
"Let think... what was that person's na again... Ah, his na should be Lou Ran... You just have to ask him one question... 'Does the promise with Demon Bone still stand?' No matter how he responds, you don't need to say much else, just bring his answer back to ," Demon Bone instructed.
"Although it's a bit of a hassle to go to the Supre Clan, I do have so connections there, so it shouldn't be a problem," Tian Xin said.
"That's very good. I'll have the Ice Armor Ripper send you on your way," Demon Bone surprisingly agreed readily, without further ado, and had the Ice Armor Ripper send them off.
Lin Shen and Tian Xin were both puzzled. How could Demon Bone, the mythical Demon Master, be so easy to negotiate with? Wasn't he worried that Lin Shen and Tian Xin would take the items and never return?
Lin Shen and Tian Xin had been concerned that Demon Bone might have so tricks up his sleeve for them, but the Ice Armor Ripper truly escorted them to the valley's exit and then went back on its own, without any tricks.
Leaving the valley, they retraced their path down from Giant God Mountain. When they reached their base, it was still early, and Xin Swordsman and his group hadn't returned yet.
Tian Xun found it inconvenient to ask why they were returning so early in this location. After getting into the aircraft and taking off from the base, he asked, "How co you've co back so early?"
Lin Shen and Tian Xin recounted the events in the valley to Tian Xun, who also seed astonished after hearing the story: "Our Celestial Race has only discovered one teleporter on Giant Ring Star; I haven't heard of other races having one."
"But looking at him, it seems he really has been trapped there for a long ti," Tian Xin said.
"This matter is indeed strange. The Supre Clan person he told you to look for is nad Lou Ran?" Tian Xun said thoughtfully, "I haven't heard of a person nad Lou Ran in the Supre Clan. Don't go to the Supre Clan for now. Let inquire about it first."
Lin Shen wasn't planning on going to the Supre Clan anyway, so he wasn't concerned about it.
Even if he wanted to go, he didn't know how to reach the Supre Clan, and he had no connections there; it was likely he wouldn't even et anyone.
While a Tenth Turn Ice Armor Ripper was desirable, Lin Shen lacked the capability to claim it. Tian Xin might have a chance, but whether he dared to et with Demon Master Demon Bone again was his own problem.
Lin Shen shared half of the Five Elents Tree King Fruit he obtained with Tian Xun, since it was Tian Xun who had given him the opportunity. Not sharing would have been unacceptable.
Moreover, Lin Shen wanted the Fire Seed from her, so it made sense to show so goodwill.
Left with forty-nine Five Elents Tree King Fruits, Lin Shen had more than he could use—a single one would suffice.
Back at Paradise Island, Lin Shen had a talk with his elder sister, leaving her a regular Five Elents Fruit and several Five Elents Tree King Fruits, which could be used at both the Base Mutation and Ascension Levels.
Lin Shen had only a few regular Five Elents Fruits in his possession, but he had plenty of Five Elents Tree King Fruits, so he couldn't give away many of the regular ones.
Returning to his room, Lin Shen consud a regular Five Elents Fruit, and Evolution Theory imdiately began to operate wildly.
According to previous information, each person could only benefit once from consuming a Five Elents Fruit, which could increase any one of the four Attributes, although it could only enhance one Attribute.
Which Attribute would be increased seed to be random, or perhaps there was a pattern, but none had been discovered yet.
Lin Shen hoped his increase would be in speed, for with enough speed, even if he couldn't win in combat, he could at least escape.
But an increase in speed alone wouldn't significantly affect him, it was better than nothing.
So, having speed would be best, but he was open to any increase in the other Attributes.
Once Evolution Theory ceased its activity, Lin Shen checked his Attributes only to be shocked to find they hadn't changed.
"That's strange, why is there no change? Could it be because my Attributes were already at full? But that can't be right. Tian Xun ntioned that the Attributes added by these fruits can surpass the upper limits…" Lin Shen felt there was more to it.
Since Evolution Theory had been active, it indicated that the fruit was effective, yet his four primary Attributes indeed showed no alterations.
"What went wrong? Could it be that the random Attribute increased by the Five Elents Fruit is not Strength, Speed, Hardness, or Toughness, but rather a hidden Attribute like Endurance?" Lin Shen suspected the Five Elents Fruit had enhanced an unseen Attribute.
Lin Shen wasn't overly concerned, as long as it was effective. After his Ascension, he planned to consu a Five Elents Tree King Fruit to see its effects.
After resting for a while and waiting for night to fall, Lin Shen once again used his chanical wristwatch to teleport to Ring Mountain Planet, continuing his hunt for Supersource Dragons to strengthen the Soul Harvesting skill of the Death Powder.
