The director needs three days to study the fractured Power of Rules, to see if it can be used for a soul tattoo.
During these three days, the director was busy, and Lin Yuan wasn’t idle either!
Day one, Jian Bing.
Day two, the little sister-in-law.
Day three, Wen Yingying and Day Traveler.
After three days, Lin Yuan appeared in the research room, supporting himself against the wall.
"Brother Lin, why do you look so worn out?" Outside the research room, Zhi Ming happened to run into Lin Yuan and asked.
Lin Yuan paused for a second, then said seriously, "I just had a brawl with four female demons."
Zhi Ming was a straight-laced guy. Obviously, he didn’t get what Lin Yuan ant, and replied equally seriously, "Brother Lin, you went to the Mysterious World again. You really work hard!"
Lin Yuan and a straightforward guy like Zhi Ming really didn’t have much to talk about. After bidding Zhi Ming farewell, he went to find the director.
The three-day deadline was up, the director should already have an answer.
Sure enough, after seeing the director, Lin Yuan imdiately sensed that the director was in a good mood today.
Looks like it worked out?
As soon as he saw Lin Yuan, the director said excitedly, "Kid, good news!"
"Those five fractured Powers of Rules are just right to help you engrave the King Pingdeng tattoo, and they’re an absolute perfect match."
"Based on my calculations, using those five fractured Powers of Rules to engrave the King Pingdeng tattoo will make it even stronger than if you engraved it with a single complete Power of Rules."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan really wanted to ask, "For real, or fake?"
"I didn’t go to college, don’t trick !"
Of course, Lin Yuan knew the director would never joke with him about sothing like this.
Since the director said so, it had to be true.
"Director, let’s do it!" Lin Yuan took off his shirt, signaling the director to start the engraving.
Even though Lin Yuan was already the strongest Life Pattern Master among living humans,
he still felt that he wasn’t strong enough.
Especially after witnessing the Battle of Pule Mountain in person.
Those Human Race heroic souls, knowing they would die, still charged forward without hesitation—they were defending the dignity of the Human Race.
Once upon a ti, Lin Yuan was a very selfish person.
If it was the old Lin Yuan, given the choice between saving himself and saving the Human Race, he would’ve chosen to save himself without a second thought.
But along the way, after going through so much, Lin Yuan seed to be wavering a little.
The headless Xingtian in the Battle of Peace Bridge.
Lord Wu’an Bai Qi in the Battle of Pule Mountain.
All these things made Lin Yuan less selfish than before.
He wanted to make himself stronger—so strong that the Human Race would never have to face such suffering again.
The director seed to understand Lin Yuan’s feelings at that mont. He motioned for Lin Yuan to lie down on the bed, then began helping him engrave the King Pingdeng tattoo.
With the experience of the last two tis, tattooing on the soul was already no big deal for the director.
This ti, the only challenge was neutralizing the five Powers of Rules, each different, to prevent them from repelling each other.
Before this, the director had already done simulation experints.
So, aside from taking a bit longer, nothing unexpected happened during the entire soul tattoo process.
This ti took the longest—seven or eight hours all together—before the King Pingdeng tattoo was finally completed.
The King Zhuanlun tattoo was on Lin Yuan’s lower back, and next to it now was a brand new King Pingdeng tattoo.
His Ten Yama Kings belt was one step closer to completion.
The appearance of King Pingdeng was similar to King Zhuanlun, but the biggest difference between them was that King Zhuanlun’s magic artifact was the Wheel of Reincarnation,
while King Pingdeng’s magic artifact was a scale that didn’t look like it did anything.
Lin Yuan had already seen the power of the Wheel of Reincarnation in action.
The skill to summon Human Race heroic souls was basically a god-tier move.
King Zhuanlun was number ten among the Ten Yama Kings, and King Pingdeng was number nine.
Logically, the ability of King Pingdeng’s tattoo shouldn’t be weaker than King Zhuanlun’s.
King Pingdeng’s scale magic artifact looked a bit strange.
Both sides of the scale weren’t weighing pans, but two identical tokens.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to try using the King Pingdeng tattoo’s power, the thod of using it suddenly appeared in his mind.
The ability of the King Pingdeng tattoo could be sumd up in two words.
Equality!
Once you use King Pingdeng’s power, no matter who it is—it’s always fifty-fifty.
I might not carry (the team), but at least I can drag you to my level.
You just need to engrave your na onto the token on one side of the scale, then engrave your enemy’s na onto the other token.
Then, both people’s strength becos balanced at the sa level.
Lin Yuan: "?????"
After understanding the ability of the King Pingdeng tattoo, Lin Yuan was left stunned.
This...
This strong?
If he wrote his own na on one side of the scale and the World Honored’s na on the other, wouldn’t that an he could fight fifty-fifty with the World Honored?
No sooner said than done: he summoned King Pingdeng’s scale, ready to give it a try.
However, the mont he tried to engrave the words World Honored, he was hit with a splitting headache.
The whole scale started shaking violently.
Lin Yuan had a feeling that, if he insisted on engraving "World Honored," the scale might break.
No way!
As expected, using this scale doesn’t co without restrictions.
If the difference in power is too large, you simply can’t engrave the other person’s na successfully.
For example, the World Honored, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, Elder Bai—these people couldn’t be engraved.
Lin Yuan got so nas of strong figures from Liuyu Heaven in the Mysterious World and tried several more tis.
After so testing, he figured out the rule: as long as it’s soone with Tier Four strength, even Tier Four Peak, he could successfully engrave their na.
If he’d gotten King Pingdeng’s scale a bit earlier, Lin Yuan could’ve had a fifty-fifty fight with the Joyful Vajra.
When he tried to engrave Tier Three experts, the scale began shaking violently halfway through.
So, Lin Yuan didn’t dare keep forcing it.
Being able to go fifty-fifty with all Tier Four experts was already amazing.
After all, using the Wheel of Reincarnation requires massive amounts of treasure to summon heroic souls at Bai Qi’s level.
Last ti, it was only with Elder Bai’s help—a wily old fox—that he could summon Bai Qi and those old Qin Dynasty storytellers.
If he only relied on his own energy, he could maybe summon Lü Bu or Huo Qubing level heroic souls—and honestly, they wouldn’t be much stronger than Lin Yuan himself.
With King Pingdeng’s scale, Lin Yuan now had a trump card for heading to the Silent Sea to investigate the secrets of the City of Sin.
Anyone below Tier Three he could go fifty-fifty with, but for Tier Three or above—those were nearly all reclusive powerhouses in the Mysterious World, and not likely to be encountered.
However, this scale had a weakness too.
It could only engrave one person’s na at a ti—so it was limited to one-on-one use.
