Chapter 710: The Substance In The Glass Bead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though Song Junlang assured him again and again the alcohol’s quality was assured, and that Alexei absolutely would not wake up until the next night, especially since it was universally known that the Russians were reliable when it came to their alcohol, Xiao Lin was still a little worried, and did not sleep well that whole night.

Thankfully, Song Junlang was not lying this time around. Before dawn, a blurry Xiao Lin was dragged out of bed by Song Junlang. Looking at Xiao Lin’s sleepy face, he rolled his eyes, “I told you not to worry. Why didn’t you believe me? When have I ever lied to you?”

Xiao Lin mumbled to himself silently as the number was too high to count.

Just as he was thinking about it, Song Junlang produced a potion from somewhere and stuffed it straight into Xiao Lin’s mouth. Xiao Lin did not manage to put up a defense in his fuzzy state, and gulped down a few mouthfuls, swallowing most of the potion.

“You! What did you make me drink?!” Xiao Lin exclaimed.

“An awakening potion. It’s meant to keep you up. Otherwise, with how you are right now, you’ll definitely cause trouble later!” After pausing, Song Junlang added happily, “Don’t worry, this potion is like a stimulant back on Earth. It never had many side effects before, and after my modifications, there are practically zero side effects.”

It would have been fine if Song Junlang did not say that, but Xiao Lin’s expression changed immediately. “What?! You’ve modified it?!” His sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He did not know if it was because of the effectiveness of the potion or because he had been shocked awake by Song Junlang.

Nevertheless, after ten minutes, the two of them left the museum right before the stroke of dawn after hastily packing up their stuff. They left the museum silently. When they walked past the office, they could still hear Alexei’s thunderous snoring. That man was really dead asleep. When he woke up, Xiao Lin and Song Junlang would have long since left Frontier Town.

Frontier Town was the picture of silence before dawn. Even New Washington and Dawn City did not have shops that opened through the night, let alone such a remote city. Even though the Weier Union had invested greatly in that place, resources that consumed things like street lamps were still not widely used. The natives had a sense of fear for the dark.


Walking in the empty streets, Song Junlang said, “We should celebrate that the city still has a lot of people from the other academies. Other than the Americans and the British, there are many others from the Russian academy and so on. Even if our dean wants to start an internal war, he’s not dumb enough to fight all the academies at the same time, so in order to not cause any misunderstandings, not much has been done to Frontier Town.”

That was why they could walk on that road in broad daylight. The other main cities in the Weier Union had all long since been completely sealed off by Dawn Academy. For regular folk, even walking on the streets was being monitored heavily, let alone leaving town.

“What is that glass bead?” Xiao Lin did not care about all of that, and he had been looking at the glass bead the whole way. It was the clue on the Holy Grail that Song Junlang had painstakingly gotten from Alexei.

Of course, Xiao Lin’s power had been completely eradicated after using Myth, including all the skills that he had before. However, he was still at least at Black Iron-rank, and thanks to being at the weakest level of power, he was not worried that he would unleash too much energy and damage the glass orb.

Song Junlang understood what Xiao Lin was doing, and he curiously asked, “How is it? Are there any results?”

Xiao Lin shook his head.

Song Junlang paused for a moment. “Is there no reaction at all? Surely not. How many types of energy have you tried?”

Xiao Lin shrugged helplessly. “Even though I’ve lost all of my powers from before, I still have control of the three basic energies at Black Iron-rank. It’s a pity; all three energies did not cause any reaction with the substance. Of course, maybe it’s because my current level is too low, and the energy within the substance is too high for me to affect.”

There were three types of energy in the New World: death energy, life energy, and elemental energy. Xiao Lin had already grasped death energy and elemental energy. Even though his power had weakened, he still maintained a basic control of them. Thanks to absorbing the power of law, he had a connection with life energy as well.

Of course, it was meaningless for Xiao Lin to grasp those energies, because he was only at Black Iron rank. For instance, the life energy he had just grasped was something unique to the elves; it had the power to cure anything, but with Xiao Lin’s current power, he could not even cure an ant.

Song Junlang stopped, and the night sky did nothing to hide his shock. It was something incredibly rare on his face. After stopping for a long time, he said, “Do you know what that means?”

Xiao Lin shook his head. Even though he grasped the three energies, and understood what they meant, which was already rare among people his age, he still did not understand what Song Junlang meant.

“Every energy in the New World adheres to the law of attraction, meaning that two similar energies, unless they had been strengthened by a form of spell casting, in a natural state, those similar forms of energy will absorb each other. It’s a law in this world, like the laws of physics on Earth! Unless a god changed the laws of the world, this will never change!” Song Junlang explained seriously.

Xiao Lin finally understood, and he turned around with a shocked look on his face.

Similar forms of energy absorbed each other only if the energies came from the same source, and in terms of this world’s energies, the sources would definitely be either elemental, death, or life. Yet, since Xiao Lin had tried all three of them, and the glass bead’s mysterious substance did not react, there was only one way to understand it, and it was a fairly shocking explanation.

No matter what was in that glass bead, it was definitely not something born from the laws of this world! And because of that, the substance did not adhere to the law of attraction!

“Thankfully, we managed to obtain this thing first. No matter what academy gets this, it would definitely stir an even greater internal war! The legendary Holy Grail really lives up to its name.. Even I’m beginning to be filled with anticipation.”
