Chapter 5: Copper Coins Convey Messages

  "Gentlemen, no need to be too polite. I came this time to inform you of a piece of news. Not long ago, it has been confirmed that the next beast attack is not far away. I have urgently transferred a batch of supplies from Luoxing City, and as usual, they will be sold at a price three percent higher than the market price using beast crystals. The extra three percent is to open the defensive formation of the outer city and compress the beasts' attacking force. In addition, when the time comes, I will invite you all to climb up onto the city wall together to defend it jointly and get through this disaster with concerted efforts." Yanhuo said as he walked upstairs.

  "Fatso, it's up to you now." Yang Tong and others patted Fatso on the shoulder and said.

  Yang Tong took Yang Tong home. On the way, Yang Tong curiously asked: "Dad, who was that person just now? He's so majestic."

  "Oh, so that's the County Head of Yanhuo, a 5th-level Earth Wugong Master, one of the strongest in the county. I wonder when my old man will awaken and become an Earth-level Wugong Master too, then our lives will be much better, we won't have to stay in this small county town, we can choose to move to Luoxing City, it's much safer there, with many experts around. Moreover, only cities above Luoxing have advanced academies." Yang Tong said.

  Yang Tong heard from his father's words his longing for awakening and thick paternal love.

  "Dad, you can do it! You'll be fine!" Yang Tong shouted loudly in encouragement.

  Yang Tong returned home still feeling a bit dazed, partly due to the excitement of seeing a true Earth-level expert today and partly due to his worry about the barbarian beast's attack on the city. Although Yang Tong had not experienced the horror of the barbarian beast's attack on the city before, he could also sense some clues from what he saw and heard today, and judging from the worried expressions of his father and Uncle Li, it must be quite perilous.

  After dinner, Yang Tong returned to his own room, fell on the bed, and couldn't muster up any energy. It wasn't physical fatigue, but a feeling of powerlessness from deep within. He was too weak, but becoming stronger wasn't something that could be achieved just by wanting it.

  Lying down for a while, sitting up, took out the seven beast crystals obtained today.

  This is a new plaything, and the family is not poor. Normally, Yang Tong has some pocket money every day, but it's only 2 lingbi, which can be used for half a month in the county town. The beast crystal is another hard currency, and this one beast crystal is equivalent to Yang Tong's annual pocket money!

  One hand held four beast crystals, the other hand held three beast crystals, slowly rotating while sizing up the beast crystals and thinking about how to make the best use of them.

  "Hmm, what to buy? Food? A waste! A storage ring would be the most ideal thing, but unfortunately, the seven low-grade beast crystals in my hand can't even afford it."

  At this moment, Yang Tong suddenly felt a strange suction force emanating from his body. He could feel that the seven beast crystals in his hand were the source of this suction force. The beast crystals were slowly disappearing at a visible rate, indicating that the energy within the crystal was being absorbed.

  A surge of fear rose up in Yang Tong, his body unexpectedly disobeying him.

  Suddenly, everything went black and I fainted onto the bed.

  Yang Tong's consciousness awakened once again, only to find himself in a vast and dark space with nothing around him. As a third-level martial artist, he should have been able to see objects ten meters away even in the dark, but now he couldn't see anything. This meant that this was not his own room, but some unknown place.

  "Hello, is anyone there? Where am I?" Yang Tong shouted out loud, his voice echoed out, but there was no response for a long time.

  Just as Yang Tong was getting anxious and uneasy, suddenly a golden light burst forth in front of him, and a black space suddenly appeared with a bridge of light that stretched straight to Yang Tong's face.

  Yang Tong thought for a moment, then stepped on it. He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and when he came to again, he found himself facing a huge circular copper coin with seven cracks on its surface, one of which was shallower and shorter than the others, and was slowly recovering, emitting light.

  Suddenly, a faint light shot out from the copper coins and entered his body before Yang Tong could react. A simple message was transmitted into Yang Tong's mind.

  Yang Tong digested this information and suddenly realized. Because he saw the situation after saving people from fainting in his previous life, the culprit who caused himself to cross-reincarnate was the copper coin in front of him.

  Originally, this is one's own cognitive space, a place where the soul of an intelligent life resides.

  Because the copper coin was damaged, Yang Tong did not receive too detailed information, but also received some information. As long as one of the cracks is repaired, the power of the copper coin will be activated.

  The seven cracks on this mysterious copper coin are like seven seals, tightly restricting its power. Coupled with the loss of energy during the traversal process, it is already a blessing that this copper coin can awaken from its slumber under the injection of beast crystal energy.

  According to the information received from Yang Tong, this treasure has merged with its own soul, in other words, it recognizes itself as the master. This is a great thing, a huge good thing. As long as this treasure is repaired, one will have the capital to stand firm in this world, at least this copper coin that can shuttle through time and space must be extraordinary.

  Repairing the shallowest of the seven cracks requires a large amount of energy. After repair, it will unlock the development of soul potential, increase spiritual power by tenfold, and condense soul power. As long as there is enough energy and soul power infused into the copper coin, it will slowly increase Yang Tong's original soul.

  This was just the first seal, and in Yang Tong's view, it was simply unthinkable! Although he didn't know what kind of treasure this copper coin was or its specific name. However, Yang Tong still gave it a name, called: "Life-changing Copper Coin". It was because of it that his life's fate changed!

  At the same time, this treasure also became Yang Tong's biggest secret. No matter who it was, including his own parents, Yang Tong would choose to keep it confidential. If this treasure were to be exposed, it would likely bring about a disaster that would lead to the destruction of his entire family.

  Yang Tong didn't know how great the power of the highest-grade spiritual artifact could be, or how magical it was. However, Yang Tong dared to confirm that even if the top-grade spiritual artifact was incredibly magical, it couldn't compare to this soul-transcending copper coin that could traverse time and space with one's soul.

  After getting this information, Yang Tong put down his heart, and with a move of his mind, his consciousness came out of the sea of recognition, opened his eyes, and sat up. At this time, the beast crystal in his hand had long since turned to nothingness.

  "Energy, a lot of energy! I need a large amount of beast crystals or standard crystals." Yang Tong was now full of confidence, not only did he possess knowledge far surpassing that of ordinary people, but also had an invaluable treasure to rely on. As the saying goes, "with food in one's heart, one is not anxious". At this moment, he no longer felt uncertain about his future, and was extremely confident that he would definitely awaken and become a true superior being.

  With enough strength, I can protect this life's most beloved parents, and protect this home.
