Douluo Continent: God Descends

Chapter 54 Level 1 Sealed Item: Emblem of Light

The guided taxi sped along and soon arrived at its destination: Tianhai Stadium.

"Little brother Daigo, we've arrived. Do you want to walk with your sister? I'll treat you to a drink." Nanali pinched Lu Xingchen's cheek and said with a charming smile.

"Thank you, Sister Lina, but I still need to go find someone. I'll let you treat me next time," Lu Xingchen said somewhat indistinctly as her cheek was pinched.

If it weren't for the lack of spiritual warning, he would have immediately used "Shock" to strike the moment Nanali dared to reach out and pinch his face.

Although Lu Xingchen's cultivation level was only level 20, the advancement in the magic potion sequence made his mental strength unpredictable.

In terms of numerical values, when Lu Xingchen had fully digested the 'Sequence Five' potion, his mental strength had reached more than 19,000 points, which was infinitely close to the Spirit Realm, and he had already begun to have the ability to control the elements of heaven and earth.

With the added "intimidation" from the audience, he was confident he could control Nanali for more than ten seconds.

This period of time is enough for him to escape using his "dream travel" ability, and then he can slowly torment his opponent using "0-01".

Unfortunately, the spectator path is really weak in combat at low sequences; this path is more suitable for hiding behind the scenes and plotting against others.

Not to mention, Nanali is a Title Douluo. Although she doesn't seem to have become one of the Four Dark Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult yet, her strength is still not to be underestimated.

"Alright, little brother~ See you again someday."

Nanali loosened her grip and then turned to walk towards Tianhai Stadium.

"Evil evil spirit master, I'll remember this debt."

Lu Xingchen rubbed his cheeks, first scanning himself with his mental energy to make sure that Nanali hadn't done anything to him, before walking towards the other side of the gymnasium.

(P.S.: Sports "field" and sports "hall" are different. The former is where Soul Masters fight, while the latter is the competition venue for the four major professions.)

……

"Hmm? Signing up for the youth group blacksmith competition, little brother Xingchen, you didn't make a mistake, did you?"

Inside the Tianhai Gymnasium, Youyou looked at the little boy in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is a major event held every three years in the East China Sea. The Forging Masters Association will naturally participate in it, and in order to ensure the smooth running of the competition, the association will send personnel to assist.

Youyou was one of them. She was the one who personally received Lu Xingchen and witnessed this little brother successfully complete the first level of cultivation. Afterwards, the president gave her a gag order, forbidding her from revealing any information about Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen said, "That's right, Sister Youyou, I signed up for the youth group blacksmith competition and the one-on-one competition for the junior soul master group."

"this……"

Looking into Lu Xingchen's sparkling eyes, Youyou couldn't bring herself to say anything to dissuade him. She could only say, "Then you must be careful. If you encounter an opponent you can't beat, remember to admit defeat in time."

She was just a staff member and had no right to stop others from participating in the competition.

"Perhaps this is what makes geniuses different," Youyou thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile, before starting to register and enroll Lu Xingchen.

After successfully registering, Youyou handed Lu Xingchen two plaques, which served as his contestant credentials and also recorded the competition time.

After taking the sign, Lu Xingchen turned and left the stadium. He needed to find a hotel nearby to stay in.

……

As the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament approaches, Tianhai City has welcomed a massive influx of participants and spectators. Hotels and guesthouses in the surrounding area are already fully booked, and rooms in popular locations are extremely difficult to find.

Lu Xingchen wandered the streets of Tianhai City for a long time, comparing several fully booked accommodations, before finally finding a small hotel with vacancies in a relatively remote area.

He sat on the bed, gently rubbing his temples, and complained with a hint of helplessness, "What a hassle. I should have come a few days earlier."

After a brief complaint, Lu Xingchen closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and slowly lowered his consciousness into the chaotic sea, something he did every day.

When his consciousness returned to reality from the chaotic sea, a palm-sized badge appeared in his outstretched palm.

This badge is entirely golden yellow, with lifelike sun patterns engraved on its surface. When the sunlight shines on it, the patterns seem to shimmer with light, radiating a gentle yet undeniable energy, as if a miniature sun has been condensed within it.

"The drop rate of Chaos Sea seems to be increasing. Is it because my own sequence has improved, causing its activity to rise as well?"

Curious about the badge's abilities, Lu Xingchen took out "0-02" from his pocket.

As it was used more often, the sealed artifact gradually adapted to his habits, and could automatically filter and organize information on the targets according to his needs, saving him a lot of trouble.

He gently affixed "0-02" to the Brightness Badge, and the next second, lines of clear authentication information appeared on the lens:

[Level 1 Sealed Item: '1-001' Emblem of Light]

[Ability: "Light of Miracles" - Within the range of the holder's vision (or mental perception), if any intelligent being still has "light" in their heart, the holder can gather and materialize these scattered "lights" and transform them into an extremely powerful attack.]

If the group borrowing the light includes Soul Masters, the higher the cultivation level of the Soul Master, the more power they can borrow.

(PS: The maximum power of this attack can reach the level of a third-tier god. After the attack ends, the badge will enter a cooldown state for one hour.)

Negative effects: "Dishonest Person" - The holder uses the "light" in the hearts of others to launch an attack, but cannot repay with "light" of equal value, which is equivalent to "overdrawing" the positive energy of others.

As a result, the holder will be unconsciously labeled as "untrustworthy." After activating "Miracle Light," the first intelligent being to witness the holder will uncontrollably feel a strong sense of "displeasure" towards the holder.

The intensity of an emotion is directly proportional to the total amount of "light" gathered by the holder—the more "light" gathered, the stronger the attack, and the greater the opponent's displeasure.

(P.S.: After using this item, try to avoid appearing in front of powerful beings. The opponent is very likely to attack the holder out of "displeasure".)

"The money has been withdrawn!"

The moment Lu Xingchen finished reading the appraisal information, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Although this Emblem of Light is only a Level 1 sealed artifact, its "Light of Miracles" ability perfectly compensates for his biggest weakness at present—insufficient frontal attack power.

The negative effect seems a bit misleading; it allows you to launch a powerful attack, but afterwards it will forcibly attract aggro.
