Chapter 272 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Considering that a successful upgrade might cause a shock wave, Lu Xuan deliberately chose an uninhabited island to absorb the eighth-level crystal core.
After Lu Xuan adjusted his state, he greeted the audience in the live broadcast room and then clenched the crystal clear eighth-level crystal core, which was about the size of a ping-pong ball, in his hand and began to absorb the power inside to break through the seventh-level barrier that had existed in his body for a long time.
Lu Xuan was lucky. This level eight crystal core did not come from a zombie, but from some kind of mutant plant. Its power was mild and there was no obvious pain during the absorption process.
This also allowed him to concentrate on breaking through without being distracted by pain.
The power within the eighth-level crystal core is huge and vast. If it were to erupt, it could easily destroy a city in an instant. Therefore, Lu Xuan's absorption process was not fast.
One hour, two hours... The audience in the live broadcast room could only watch the live broadcast content that seemed to be static and unchanged.
Despite this, there was no noticeable drop in the number of people online in the live broadcast room. On the contrary, as the news that Lu Xuan was breaking through to the eighth level of supernatural powers spread on Xingbo, the holographic world, and other social platforms, more and more people who didn't pay much attention to the live broadcast came to find him.
Among them, there are even many high-level psychics that ordinary citizens don’t have the chance to meet on a daily basis, especially those at level seven.
These people looked at the eighth-level crystal core in Lu Xuan's hand on the other side of the screen, their expressions revealing greed, curiosity, envy and other emotions.
It has been more than a year since Lu Xuan unlocked the anchor mall.
It seems not easy to get an eighth-level crystal core after more than a year, but it will take them more than one or two years to get an eighth-level crystal core.
Although the Star Alliance can obtain more crystal cores than a single anchor through the plane live broadcast system, the number of level seven mutants in the entire Star Alliance is not too many, but not too few, and there are still several hundred people.
However, the crystal cores in the anchor mall have only been around for less than a hundred years, and not every eighth-level crystal core appears every year. Not every type is suitable for everyone, and not every single one will necessarily lead to a successful breakthrough.
So far, the number of people who have truly obtained the eighth-level crystal core and become eighth-level mutants can be counted on one hand.
And now, will Lu Xuan become one of this small group of people?
Not only the seventh-level psychics want to know the answer, but the audience in the live broadcast room also want to know it.
[The anchor is so strong, breaking through shouldn't be a problem, right? ]
[Don't use interrogative sentences. Instead of guessing whether it will succeed, it's better to bet on how long it will take for the anchor to upgrade.]
【I'll bet for half a day. 】
[The higher the level, the longer it takes to level up. A friend of mine took two days to break through from level 5 to level 6. How could it be possible in half a day?]
【Then I bet for three days! 】
[Hiss, I'm an ordinary person and don't know much about people with special abilities. Does it take so long to level up? Do I need to eat during that time?]
[Of course I can't eat! I'm concentrating on leveling up, why would I eat? If the power cycle is broken, I'll have to start all over again.]
[So if it takes two or three days or even longer to finish, the streamer will be hungry the whole time? Won't he starve to death?]
Is that a joke? Level eight, oh no, level seven. A level seven psychic starved to death. What kind of a joke is this?
The seventh-level psychic who originally only intended to peek at the screen also twitched his mouth speechlessly.
[High-level psychics can replace the effects of food with just their internal psychic powers. Level 5 psychics can survive without food for at least half a month.]
Not to mention level seven.
If you have some crystal cores to use for recovery, it won't be a problem to go without food or water for a month.
The few days of upgrading are not worth mentioning at all.
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately exclaimed in surprise as if they had never seen anything like it before.
However, Lu Xuan didn't really let them wait that long.
A day and a night later.
The power in the eighth-level crystal core was almost completely absorbed. Lu Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed without sleeping, eating or drinking, suddenly opened his eyes.
Almost at the same time, an invisible, vast and powerful supernatural power wave spread out in all directions with Lu Xuan as the center. In a blink of an eye, the ground on most of the island was cracked, sand and rocks flew, trees felled, and weeds either grew wildly or withered instantly.
The vampire vine absorbed a large amount of overflowing energy and rioted uncontrollably, waving wildly around Lu Xuan, destroying the already chaotic environment even more thoroughly with a destructive posture.
It was a quarter of an hour later when everything calmed down.
Looking out from the camera in the live broadcast room, the surroundings were all ruins. Apart from Lu Xuan and the vampire vine, there was no other living creature to be seen.
【!!! Too exciting.】
[Oh my god, the scene of the high-level psychic leveling up was so scary, my heart almost stopped.]
Is this a failure or a success?
[Nonsense! It must have succeeded! If it failed, he would have vomited blood or suffered backlash and injuries. Does the anchor look injured?]
The others looked at Lu Xuan, who stood up with a rosy face and a smile on his lips.
It really doesn't look like an injury, but more like he took some tonic pills.
Well, how can an eighth-level crystal core not be considered a tonic?
Lu Xuan took back the blood-sucking vine that was "overfed" and went crazy, and happened to see the content of the barrage, with obvious joy in his tone.
"I was lucky enough to break through in one go."
Lu Xuan looked down at his palms and clenched his fingers suddenly.
Just by clenching his fist, a sound like an explosion was heard in the air.
Then Lu Xuan tried to transform the power of various conventional abilities.
The ruined island was frozen in an instant, and then suddenly fell with thousands of lightning bolts that were no less powerful than a thunderstorm, accompanied by several huge tornadoes.
The scene that looked more like the end of the world than the end of the world once again made the audience in the live broadcast room feel terrified and excited.
[Too strong! ]
[Level seven superpowers are already terrifyingly powerful, but I didn't expect them to be even more perverted! The anchor is now a walking natural disaster.]
[Anchor, seriously, you should find a wife someday! It would be a shame not to pass on such a great talent!]
Lu Xuan disagreed.
It's fine to play with other people's children, but to find a life of your own? Forget it.
Getting married and having children will only hinder his progress in becoming stronger.
After having a preliminary understanding of the changes in his strength, Lu Xuan did not continue to stay on the uninhabited island.
Island No. 1, Yunlu Village.
When Lu Xuan stepped onto the island after passing the invisibility shield, he happened to meet a hunting team that was preparing to go out for some fresh air.
When Zhang Chengming and others saw Lu Xuan and were about to come over to say hello, they couldn't help but stop when they were about ten meters away, looking surprised.
"You..."
Chen Rong's eyes widened as he asked, "Have you become stronger?"
Xiong Mao, Wu Yang and others also looked at Lu Xuan with serious expressions.
Lu Xuan was clearly just standing there doing nothing, but they felt as terrified as if they were facing an invincible beast. Every hair on their body was screaming "scary" and "run", but their feet seemed to be rooted and unable to move.
This feeling had appeared before when the village's psychics were promoted from level 2 to level 3.
Those who haven't leveled up can feel the pressure from those who are one level higher, especially in the first few days after the breakthrough.
However, the pressure at that time was completely incomparable to the pressure Lu Xuan brought to them.
Lu Xuan did not hide it, "I got promoted to a higher level."
Everyone present: “!!!”
They still didn't know exactly what level Lu Xuan was, but when they privately speculated, they generally believed he was at least level six or seven. If he could reach one more level...
Li Tuo, Liu Chun and others couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Li Jing smiled bitterly, "You are too scary."
They are currently upgrading themselves by absorbing crystal cores every day, but their strength improvement rate has been slow since they reached level three, and they don’t know how long it will take to reach level four.
It was said that the higher the level, the harder it would be to upgrade. How come Lu Xuan was able to upgrade after only one day out?
Even though Xiong Mao had always been competitive with Lu Xuan in private, and had been constantly improving himself every day in order to be even a little bit closer to Lu Xuan in strength, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged at this moment.
Not to mention narrowing the gap, the gap in strength has become even bigger. How can anyone catch up?
Lu Xuan didn't mean to scare them or show off.
However, when he first upgraded, even he himself could not control Peng Bai's overflowing power and pressure. Even though some of it had been consumed on the deserted island, it was still just the tip of the iceberg.
One of the main reasons why he rushed back early was to consume this energy.
When the hunting team learned what Lu Xuan was going to do next, they immediately gave up the idea of going out and followed him to see what was going on.
A few days ago, all the greenhouses on the island had just harvested a bumper crop of grain, mushrooms, vegetables, fruits, and lotus roots.
At this time, a new batch of seed spores has just begun to grow.
But as soon as Lu Xuan arrived, he poured a large amount of wood-related and time-related powers into the greenhouse in one breath. The crops that originally took a month to grow grew at an unimaginable speed. In just a cup of tea, all the crops on Island No. 1 were mature again.
The aroma of rice and fruit filled the entire greenhouse.
Li Tie, the Lu family, the Zhang family, and other villagers who heard the news were stunned when they saw this shocking scene.
Later, Lu Xuan went to Islands 2 and 3 to ripen more greenhouse crops on the two islands.
The villagers, who had just harvested the crops and were planning to rest for a few days, were shocked and felt dizzy.
But it’s already ripe, can they just ignore it?
I can only grit my teeth, roll up my sleeves and continue working!
On the way, they learned that Lu Xuan suddenly went crazy, cough, and that his power was because his supernatural powers had been upgraded. The villagers were shocked again.
Before Lu Xuan upgraded, he considered the possibility of failure and did not inform his family, so Lu Qing, Lei Yan and Lu Chen were unaware of it.
Now that I know, I am happy for Lu Xuan but also feel a little resentful.
Lu Qing hit Lu Xuan and said, "Why didn't you tell us in advance? We were completely unprepared."
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Lu Xuan with admiration, "Brother, you are so amazing! When can I become as strong as you?"
Lu Xuan: “…” Probably a dream.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed.
[Who doesn't want to be as strong as the anchor? But reaching level eight isn't something you can achieve just by thinking about it.]
[I don't need to reach level 8, I just hope to reach level 5 and become a high-level psychic.]
[People in Yunlu Village have crystal cores provided by the anchor. If they are lucky, they may have the opportunity to become a level 5 psychic.]
But higher estimates are unlikely.
Because of Lu Xuan's promotion, the whole village was busy for several days with both pain and joy.
Later, when Lu Xuan was called away from the Western Continent, the villagers who had sore backs from working secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The main reason why Lu Xuan went to the Western Continent was that the New Emperor and several other gathering places suddenly and urgently asked him to purchase a batch of therapeutic devices and trauma medicines.
As for the reason, many of the victims who went out to sea to fish were attacked by schools of fish and suffered heavy losses.
