Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Mysterious Beast ToothTranslator: Flying-Lines

All the known spiritual formations in the world, no matter how low or high the level was, no matter how big or small the force was, wouldn’t explode as long as the arrangement was successful.
That was a common sense
However, special cases did exist. Any defective spiritual formation would explode.
The force of self-explosion was very terrible!
When ordinary spiritual tattooists refined a spiritual formation, they would be extra careful and even take many rigorous measures to prevent self-explosion of spiritual formations.
And the higher the level of the spiritual formation was, the more terrible the force of self-explosion was. In the history of Ziyao Empire, such an accident that a spiritual tattooist unfortunately got himself killed because of the self-explosion of the spiritual formation happened more than once.
The “Small Purgatory Spiritual Formation of Five Elements” refined by Lin Xun was very unique.
It was a successful defective spiritual formation.

Why was it a defective formation? Because almost all of Lin Xun’s spiritual materials and spiritual inks for this formation had their drawbacks.
Lin didn’t have other choices. He collected these spiritual materials and spiritual inks from dead enemies. They were various, useful or useless, and could even fill a basket. If someone wanted to use them to make a spiritual tattoo formation, it was not hard to imagine how difficult it was for him or her.
Even for some spiritual tattooists, it was impossible to believe who could make a spiritual tattoo formation with some defective spiritual materials, just because every spiritual tattoo formation had different spiritual tattoos, which required specific spiritual materials and spiritual inks; not any kind of spiritual materials or spiritual inks could be used to refine a spiritual formation.
For example, the “Small Purgatory Spiritual Formation of Five Elements” required more than one hundred and thirty kinds of spiritual materials, and the needed spiritual ink was made by dozens of varieties of spiritual materials.
Under such circumstances, it was not hard to imagine how amazing it was that Lin Xun used some spiritual materials with various defects to make this formation.
And, the most incredible thing was that he made it!
It was really a miracle. At least, the other spiritual tattooists in the world would be flabbergasted, if they knew it.
But, for Lin Xun, he felt it was very normal. Because he had seen Master Lu did it before. It was the success of refining a spiritual formation for the first time that really surprised Lin Xun.
However, although Lin Xun succeeded, this “Small Purgatory Spiritual Formation of Five Elements” was indeed defective. Its power was limited, and the core of the formation base was lacking in the key source of spiritual energy to support the running of the whole formation.
This defect was noticed by Shriying at first time.
But what Shriying did not know was that there was another fatal flaw in the spiritual formation. The fatal flaw was that the structures of this formation were extremely unstable because of the defective spiritual materials used to refine it. When one of the structures was damaged, a chain reaction would occur, causing a terrible self-explosion!
Lin Xun took advantage of all this.
Shriying trapped in the spiritual formation had been buying time, trying to wait for the exhaustion of the spiritual formation’s energy to get out of the plight.
In fact, Lin Xun had been also buying time, waiting for the force of the spiritual formation to fade away; thus he could use a kind of strong force to strike at the last minute and destroy the structure of the spiritual formation, which would trigger the self-explosion of this formation.
Lin Xun succeeded in the end. He performed the “Reaching for the Stars” at the last minute when the energy of spiritual formation ran out, not to kill Shriying, but to make the spiritual formation explode!
In this contest of stratagems, Shriying lost finally and was overwhelmed by the force of the explosive spiritual formation.
…
Boom~
The force of the explosive spiritual formation was extremely horrible, creating air billows and spiritual light like a tsunami which flooded the whole area.
The rocks turned into fine power, the trees were reduced to ashes, the ground was broken with many startling cracks, and the air billows rose like mushroom clouds into the sky.
Lin Xun stood afar, glancing at the center of the explosion. Heretofore, he did not hear any scream, which was somehow unusual.
Was Shriying killed at that moment of explosion? However, it was extremely unlikely to happen to a master-hand like Shriying.
Whizzing!
A black light burst out of the fire, like a flash of lightning, tore the air apart, and came up to Lin.
Fast!
Incredibly fast!
If Lin Xun just relaxed completely, he would not dodge that attack.
However, even though not being a little slack, when the attack suddenly came, Lin Xun still failed to make adequate defense.
The attack was too fast and too sudden!
With a boom, Lin Xun barely had time to defend himself with the saber in front of his body, and then the terrible force crashed against him.
At that moment, Lin’s both arms shook, the bones almost broke, and the whole body uncontrolledly flew backwards, and then he fell more than 33 meters away.
The sharp pain made his face pale, and he coughed a mouthful of blood.
The force of that attack was so terrifying that Lin Xun could not help changing his facial expression and a little worry came to his mind.
Till this moment he could see clearly that the dark light was a strange thumb-sized pitch-black beast tooth, whose surface was glossy, like the purest obsidian, with formidable lustre.
Looking up at the place where the spiritual formation exploded, Lin Xun saw a figure staggering out of the flame.
It was Shriying. But at the moment his body was bloody and his bones almost could be seen. There was no complete skin on his body which was like a rag with holes.
He staggered, with a pair of blue eyes full of hate and unwillingness, staring at Lin Xun in the distance, as if he could eat Lin alive.
Lin Xun struggled to pick himself up, bearing the pain, and clenched the saber in his hand.
“Unexpectedly, you are even able to set up such a spiritual formation. A young spiritual tattooist, who can break the conventional shackles like you, once grows up, he or she is bound to be a shadow over the heads of our Voodoo-barbarians, causing unimaginable disasters. Today… I must kill you!”
The voice of Shriying was extremely hoarse and spiteful.
However, his body was trembling, like an oil lamp that could be blown out by one breath. Although his words were cruel, it didn’t sound threatening now.
Lin Xun looked at Shriying carefully, squinting his eyes, and saw Shriying walking towards him with difficulty; Lin suddenly raised his eyebrows and took out a crossbow from his cuff.
Bang!
Lin Xun did not hesitate to pull the trigger. And the arrows were shot out like a rainstorm, making a sharp whistling sound, as if they would take away the souls.
The Shriying obviously did not expect that Lin Xun was still so careful in this situation, thus he could not help but roar in a venomous voice.
Boom!
As Shriying pressed the air with his hands, a blue curtain emerged, which blocked all the arrows.
But the movement exhausted his last strength, and then his body finally shook and flopped back.
“Damn it!”
They were the last words of Shriying before he died discontent.
Lin Xun stood there for a moment until he was sure Shriying was dead. Then, he relaxed and gasped.
If Lin Xun has no the crossbow to launch the attack at that moment, once Shriying came close, then the counter-attack might take Lin’s life before Shriying’s death!
All of what happened also made Lin Xun deeply realize that when his enemy had not died yet, even a trace of relaxation might trigger an unpredictable disaster!
Without hesitation, Lin Xun carried his saber and went up to cut off Shriying’s broken fuzzy Totem Barbarian Tattoo on the chest.
And then he stabbed Shriying into the breast without mercy.
Unfortunately, there was no other thing on Shriying, except for the Totem Barbarian Tattoo. Lin Xun could not help smiling bitterly. It took him so many days to carefully prepare so many methods and it was very hard to kill such a terrible barbarian, but the final reward was nothing but a broken Totem Barbarian Tattoo…
But as Lin Xun was about to leave, a thought suddenly occurred to him and reminded him of the strange black beast tooth.
He turned back and picked up the tooth from the ground. Lin Xun was about to examine it carefully and suddenly there was an earsplitting roar of beast in his mind. A kind of terrifying force reached his heart and shook Lin Xun’s soul, and then he felt a flurry of dizziness and had a tremor all over his body.
The horrifying roar of beast lasted only for a moment and then disappeared. Lin Xun almost thought that he had an illusion.
He could not help but look at the black beast tooth in his hand, but could not recognize what kind of beast it belonged to.
Lin Xun thought a moment and finally put this black beast tooth away. Then, he left.
…
There was only half a month left before the assessment at this war zone ended.
No one knew that Lin Xun had killed a barbarian overmatch with an unimaginable fighting capacity, and he didn’t intend to tell it to anyone else.
This thing concluded silently in this way.
For Lin Xun, the death of Shriying completely solved the last hidden worry in his mind. In the following time, he returned to the old rules of action, searching for the traces of enemies and killing them in the daytime, and recovering his strength in the evening.
Everything in Demon-cloud Ridge didn’t seem to be any different from what it used to be for Lin Xun
But for the other trainees of Bloodthirsty Camp in different areas of Demon-cloud Ridge, the half-month left had become a crucial period which would decide whether they would be eliminated or not!
The atmosphere was tense.
Each trainee no longer preserved the strength. Bloody battles constantly took place in Demon-cloud Ridge, so damage was inevitable.
…
“It has been a complete failure.”
In a military camp of Water Barbarian Branch in the north of Demon-cloud Ridge, Shri Xingkong sighed.
The atmosphere in the camp was rather tense and silent, and every Water Barbarian overmatch looked sullen.
Four Water Barbarian Soldiers, including Shriying, set out together, but they all were killed. What was more, this action had already aroused the vigilance of the overmatches of Ziyao Empire, so Ziyao Empire sent many overmatches into the Demon-cloud Ridge. Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible that they sent more overmatches to assassinate Lin Xun.
“Head, the training for trainees of Bloodthirsty Camp is about to be over. Do we just give up the sacred treasure?” one strong Water Barbarian was not reconciled and asked.
“No, it won’t end like this. Even though we fail this time, there will always be a chance to catch the boy named Lin Xun. I’m sure!” Shri Xingkong took a deep breath, looked at the Demon-cloud Ridge shrouded in night through the gate of the camp and said emphatically with a loud and clear voice.
