Volume 4 Chapter 149: Level 2 Authority Mission!
A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of me.
The task "Rise of the New Humanity" has reached 100% completion, and it is marked as completed. However, Lin Xiao did not receive any prompt to claim the reward, but instead saw a new task on the task panel.
Ding!
"Host activated new task 'Level 2 Permission Activation', this task has been automatically accepted, please check the details on the task panel."
It was a brief sentence, but it echoed in Lin Xiao's mind a little late.
In sight, the previous column of 'The Rise of New Humanity' has already appeared with detailed content about this task.
Task type: System privilege class task
Task Name: 2nd Level Permission Activation
Mission Requirements: Host body combat power reaches 100, successfully condense a Red Wan Realm Pearl inside the body.
Task Reward: Wan Jie Secret Art (Second Layer), Unlock 2nd Level System Privileges
Task deadline: one month
Penalty for failure: Multiverse system 2-level permission seal, lifetime ban on upgrading system permissions.
"It's another system permission task." Lin Xiao looked at the task content on the panel in surprise, and at the same time, a new prompt sounded in his mind.
Ding!
"Host, you have completed the task 'Rise of New Humanity', would you like to claim your reward immediately?"
Yes/No?
Without hesitation, Lin Xiao immediately chose 'yes'.
The next moment, a thick beam of light suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the empty room, and the beam of light instantly enveloped Lin Xiao's entire body.
It was still that ethereal feeling, which lasted for about ten minutes. The light pillar slowly dissipated, and Lin Xiao also came back to his senses from that ethereal feeling.
"Personal attributes." Lin Xiao muttered to himself.
The next moment, the task panel in front of him automatically disappeared, and what appeared instead was Lin Xiao's personal attribute panel.

"192 years!" Lin Xiao was overjoyed to discover that his lifespan had increased to 192 years, no longer the short 48 years it previously was. At the same time, his abilities also increased by one more kind, in addition to the previous reward of Split Body Technique, he gained another Cell Regeneration ability, although it was only level 2, but still raised his lifespan to 192 years.
After the surprise had passed, Lin Xiao began to think carefully again.
"Why is it this strange number, 192 years?" Lin Xiao furrowed his brow in contemplation. It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with this lifespan - compared to the previous 48 years, these 192 years had already made him quite satisfied. But why 192 and not a whole number like 150 or 200?
"My previous lifespan was 48 years, and my cell regeneration ability is now at level 2. If I look at it this way, when I was at level 1, my lifespan should have been 96 years. Then, because of the task reward, my level increased by one, and my lifespan also increased by a factor of two, reaching 192 years." Lin Xiao calculated backwards and found that 192 divided by 2 is exactly 96, and 96 divided by 2 is exactly 48, and his ability level was indeed at level 2.
"Slap! With a clap of his hands, Lin Xiao's face was filled with smiles as he muttered to himself: "In that case, if my cell regeneration ability is upgraded to level 3, wouldn't I be able to live for 384 years? If it's upgraded to level 4, that would be a full 768 years of lifespan. And if it's level 5..."
A life of over a thousand years, Lin Xiao Guang thought and felt that he should just be content with his fate.
With his spiritual power intensity, his soul will not dissipate even after tens of thousands of years, as long as the flesh body does not die, his lifespan can completely reach the level of tens of thousands of years. Previously, he still had some worries, and his own body didn't know what kind of disease it had contracted, and his lifespan was actually so short. Now everything is thoroughly resolved.
After the excitement, Lin Xiao's gaze fell on combat power once again.
His physical combat power has successfully broken through the hundred, and by rights he should have successfully broken through to the Yuan Wu Zhe level now, but in fact it is not so, his cultivation is still stuck at the 9th rank 3rd stage martial artist.
"The last piece of the first layer of Wan Jie Secret is the method to condense the Wan Jie Pearl, it seems that I must condense a red Wan Jie Pearl in order to truly enter the Yuan Wu Zhe level."
Lin Xiao was not anxious, his basic conditions had already been met, the only difference was the last step, and this step only required having enough energy, which did not bother Lin Xiao, he just needed to practice a few more times, and success would not be difficult.
But now there is one thing that must be resolved.
The task has been completed, Lin Xiao no longer needs to continue as the leader of this Huang Quan organization, he still has more personal things to do, where is the time to manage such a large organization.
Of course, before he steps down, Lin Xiao will not let go of the benefits that are rightfully his. For example, his boundary power has not increased significantly for a long time. Anyway, the entire world is his now, and as long as he gives the order, there are people who can help him find those things that may contain boundary power.
"After a few days, take all the benefits that should be taken, and then let Qin sit in this great leader's position. Then I will find a quiet place to retreat and break through to Yuanwu first."
With the decision made in her mind, Lin Xiao immediately got busy.
Nowadays, Lin Xiao is one of the most powerful people on earth. Whatever he orders, no one dares to slack off, even those 4th-level variant humans who think they are not inferior to Lin Xiao in terms of strength, still show great respect for him on the surface.
So when Lin Xiao ordered his subordinates to collect gold and other things all over the world, almost everyone who received this news began to respond.
In just three short days, millions of tons of gold and all kinds of precious artifacts were transported to the Huangquan organization's overseas headquarters, with everything piled up as high as a large mountain.
Lin Xiao didn't say anything unnecessary and directly started searching for the part that contained the boundary power among this pile of things, spending a whole day and night before finally finding one part that contained the boundary power.
"Alright, take these back. Leave this part behind." Lin Xiao pointed to the piles that were as high as mountains but had no boundaries and ordered his subordinates to take them away directly. As for the part he picked out with boundaries, they were all taken away by him personally.
He definitely wouldn't absorb the boundary power in front of his subordinates, that way even if they didn't dare to ask, they would still remember this matter in their hearts. To be on the safe side, Lin Xiao decided to be more cautious.
He spent another half day, Lin Xiao alone found a place to secretly absorb all the internal boundaries of these things, enough to get him hundreds of millions of 1st level small thousand boundary forces.
In proportion, Lin Xiao converted these 1st-grade Small Thousand Boundary powers into 2nd-grade Small Thousand Boundary powers. Although it seemed like there were fewer of them than before, in reality not a single one was missing.
Suddenly, he obtained tens of thousands of 2nd-level Xiao Qian's boundary power. Lin Xiao had a feeling of overnight wealth, although for now, Lin Xiao still didn't know the other uses of this boundary power. However, since it was so precious, it would definitely have many uses. At least, Lin Xiao knew that the system only had this one usable 'currency', and the more he had, the better.
Having collected tens of thousands of 2nd-level Xianjia forces, Lin Xiao did not immediately give up his position as the great leader to Qin. Instead, he hastily ordered his subordinates and said that he needed to leave for a month's time. Then, he casually found an uninhabited island overseas and settled down.
No more wasting time, Lin Xiao found an island to temporarily live on and that day, he found a cliff on the island and dug a cave for himself to retreat in. The entrance of the cave was directly blocked by him with large stones, leaving only a thin gap for air circulation between the inside and outside.
Not even lighting a lamp, Lin Xiao walked to the deepest part of the mountain cave and sat down cross-legged, recalling the last part of the content recorded in the first layer of Wan Jie Secret Art, his eyes slowly closing as well.
The task only gave him a month's time, and now four days have passed, leaving 26 days. Within these 26 days, Lin Xiao must successfully condense a Wan Jie Pearl to enter the Yuan Wu realm, otherwise this system will probably be abandoned halfway.
Although the time was pressing, Lin Xiao's heart wasn't particularly tense. When the energy absorbed by his body reached the peak of a 9th rank 3rd stage martial artist, he could choose the right moment to break through. For a martial artist to become a Yuan Wu Zhe wasn't considered a difficult bottleneck to break through. Most martial artists would succeed after trying around ten times or so, while those with exceptional talent would succeed in just four or five attempts.
And as for Lin Xiao, the energy contained within his body has already surpassed that of a 9th rank 3rd stage martial artist who is about to break through. The success rate will naturally be higher, but who among ordinary people would have such leisure time to do so?
"In the Wan Jie Secret Art, it is recorded that a martial artist who wants to advance to Yuan Wu must condense a Yuan Qi crystal in their body, giving birth to the first strand of Yuan Force that circulates around the major acupoints, ultimately forming a large cycle and entering the realm of Yuan Wu. However, the Wan Jie Secret Art is different, it requires condensing a Wan Jie Pearl in the body, using the Wan Jie Pearl as the core to draw in the Wan Jie Yuan Qi and contain oneself, thereby generating the first strand of pure Yuan Force. Although I don't understand what the difference between the two is, now I can only take the second path."
Lin Xiao recalled the content of the last article in the first layer of Wan Jie Secret, and silently began to condense the energy contained in his body cells according to its records, gradually gathering towards his chest.
P.S: There will be one more update later.
