After successfully preventing Night Owl from detonating the Dark Crystal, Lin Yu became a school hero. However, he knew that this was only a small victory in the long battle against the mysterious organization, and a greater crisis was lurking in the dark. To become stronger, Lin Yu decided to devote himself to the opportunities for improvement brought by the system.
In the early morning, sunlight shone through the window onto Lin Yu's face. He slowly woke up, and the system's cold reminder sounded in his mind: "Daily sign-in successful, get a bottle of intermediate physical potion, which can temporarily improve physical fitness." Lin Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He couldn't wait to take the potion from the system space. The potion was placed in an exquisite small bottle, emitting a faint blue light. Gently shaking it, the liquid inside was like flowing stars.
"System, how do I use this potion?" Lin Yu asked in his heart.
"Just drink it directly. The effect of the medicine will gradually take effect within half an hour." The system replied.
Lin Yu didn't hesitate and pulled out the cork. A fresh breath hit him. He raised his head and drank it all. In an instant, a warm current rose from his stomach and quickly spread throughout his body. He could feel his muscles expanding and his strength increasing. His originally tired body was instantly full of energy.
"This effect is amazing!" Lin Yu clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and marveled in his heart.
At the same time, the system released a new mission: "Mission released - Explore the mysterious ruins deep in the mountains behind the school and search for ancient supernatural power inheritance. Time limit: three days. Successful mission reward: An advanced supernatural power training manual, which can greatly improve supernatural power comprehension. Failed mission penalty: 500 points deducted."
Lin Yu frowned. Points were extremely important to him, and he didn't want to lose them due to mission failure. Furthermore, exploring the mysterious ruins sounded fraught with danger, but it was also a great opportunity to improve his strength. "I accept the mission," Lin Yu responded firmly in his heart.
He knew that he couldn't act alone. So he found Su Yao, Xiao Yi, and Lu Ming. When he told everyone about the mission and plan, Su Yao's eyes flashed with worry: "The mysterious ruins deep in the back mountain? It sounds so dangerous, Lin Yu, do you really want to go?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes. The thrilling scenes of the previous confrontation with the mysterious organization emerged in her mind. Those life-and-death scenes made her full of fear of unknown dangers.
Lin Yu gently held Su Yao's hand and said softly: "Su Yao, I know it's dangerous, but this is a good opportunity to improve your strength. Besides, let's go together and take care of each other, nothing will happen." His eyes were full of determination and confidence, trying to reassure Su Yao.
Xiao Yi rubbed his hands excitedly: "Oh my gosh! How can I be absent from such an exciting adventure? Maybe we can find some treasures, and then our strength will definitely be improved!" His face was filled with an expectant smile, full of enthusiasm for the upcoming adventure. In his opinion, adventuring with Lin Yu would not only broaden his horizons, but also make him stronger.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up and, after a moment's contemplation, said, "I think we can go. I've just developed some new gadgets that might come in handy." His eyes gleamed with wisdom, and he was filled with curiosity and anticipation about exploring the unknown, mysterious ruins. He believed that with his own inventions and the combined efforts of everyone involved, he would surely gain something from the ruins.
Finally, everyone decided to head to the back mountain together. Along the way, sunlight shone through the dense leaves, creating patches of light, but Lin Yu and the others had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. They moved forward cautiously, vigilantly observing everything around them. Lin Yu's heartbeat quickened slightly, and every step he took seemed like a challenge to the fear of the unknown. He knew that this adventure might be more dangerous than any previous one, but he had a firm belief in his heart: he must find the ancient supernatural power inheritance, enhance his strength, and completely defeat the mysterious organization.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the mysterious ruins. It was a huge stone door, engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Lin Yu took a deep breath, reached out and gently touched the stone door. Suddenly, the stone door vibrated violently and slowly opened, and a stale and decayed smell came to his face.
"Everyone be careful." Lin Yu whispered and walked into the ruins first. The light inside was dim, and some crystals emitting faint light were inlaid on the wall, barely illuminating the way forward.
They moved forward cautiously along the passage when suddenly a low roar came from the front. Lin Yu and the others immediately stopped and stared nervously ahead. They saw a huge guardian beast slowly emerging from the darkness. Its body was covered in black scales, its eyes flashed red, and its sharp claws scratched the ground.
"What is this?" Su Yao said in horror, her body trembling slightly. She held Lin Yu's arm tightly, as if she could get a sense of security.
"Don't be afraid, Su Yao." Lin Yu comforted, "Let's work together, we will definitely defeat it!" As he said that, he took the lead in mobilizing the supernatural powers in his body, condensed a beam of energy, and shot it towards the guardian beast.
The guardian beast roared and waved its claws, easily dispersing the energy beam. Seeing this, Xiao Yi immediately activated his wind power, shooting sharp wind blades at the guardian beast. The guardian beast was struck by the wind blades, leaving several wounds on its body, but it seemed even more enraged and pounced on the crowd.
Lu Ming quickly took out the jammer he invented, pressed the button, and a jamming wave shot towards the guardian beast. The guardian beast's movements suddenly became slow, and Lin Yu took the opportunity to attack again.
Just as they were fighting fiercely with the guardian beast, Lin Yu suddenly discovered that the guardian beast's eyes would briefly flicker between attacks, which seemed to be its weakness. He was delighted and called the system in his mind: "System, detect the guardian beast's weakness and confirm the attack plan."
The system responded quickly: "The guardian beast's weakness is in the eyes. It is recommended to concentrate high-energy supernatural power to attack, which can cause fatal damage."
Lin Yu took a deep breath, mobilized all the superpowers in his body, and condensed a high-energy superpower ball. "Everyone cover me!" He shouted, and Xiao Yi and Lu Ming immediately increased their attack intensity to attract the guardian beast's attention. Lin Yu saw the opportunity and shot the superpower ball towards the guardian beast's eyes.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the energy ball accurately hit the guardian beast's eyes. The guardian beast let out a painful roar, its body shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Yao's face was still filled with fear: "It's... too scary."
Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's okay, Su Yao. Let's move on."
They continued to go deeper into the ruins and finally found a faintly glowing ancient book in a huge stone chamber. It was the ancient supernatural power inheritance mentioned in the system task. Lin Yu walked forward excitedly and just picked up the ancient book when suddenly, the ruins began to shake violently, as if some danger was approaching...
