Chapter 21: Innate Talent

  A figure leaped from one tree to another, rapidly closing in on the hollow where Han was hiding, and it was Xanthe who had heard the long whistle.

  Han Jin chose a secluded place, but this was only for the demon beast. Xian Ni'er paused for a moment and judged the exact location. With several leaps, she appeared steadily in front of the tree hole.

  The scene in the tree hole shocked Xian Ni'er, Han Jin's face could still be vaguely recognized, but his face had swollen into a circle, with countless blood threads like earthworms on it, his eyes were tightly closed, his forehead was bulging with blue veins, and his cheeks were convulsing violently, like a savage who had fallen into a state of frenzy.

  The energy of tens of yuan is not much, but the destruction caused by it in an uncontrolled situation far exceeded Han Jin's expectations. It's like a motherboard, which can withstand a strong current under normal circumstances, but if an external arc enters without following the prescribed route, it will cause serious damage to the motherboard, just like Han Jin's body now. Of course, Han Jin's body is much stronger than a lifeless motherboard, at least he can try to absorb some of the energy, the problem is that he can only reduce the harm but cannot fundamentally resist the harm.

  "Raphael, what's wrong?" Xanthe hastily reached out to push Han Jin.

  At the sound of Xian Ni Er's voice, Han Jin suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils having turned blood red at some point. At the same time, his hand also reached out and grabbed a handful of Xian Ni Er's golden hair.

  Actually, Xian Ni Er was the strongest professional in this temporary small group. However, after spending a few days together, there was some degree of trust among them, and Han Jin was just an unarmed prophet. Xian Ni Er let her guard down for a moment and was caught off guard by Han Jin. Just as Xian Ni Er was about to open her mouth to question Han Jin, he pulled downwards with force, his other hand also reaching out to grab the soft armor on Xian Ni Er's chest, then tore at it violently. At this point, there was only brutality in Han Jin's mind, no reason or rationality.

  Xian Ni'er was in so much pain that tears were about to flow out. She instinctively swung her right fist and struck Han Jin's chest.

  With a loud crash, Han Jin's chest caved in a large chunk, and his body crashed into the back wall of the tree hole, creating a huge hole. He involuntarily rolled down, but his hand still tightly grasped Xian Ni'er's hair. It turned out that this street urchin's way of fighting was still effective to some extent. Perhaps it was to protect her own hair, or perhaps it was due to the intense pain, Xian Ni'er was forced to pass through the tree hole and fall down together with Han Jin.

  But Xian Ni'er didn't idle, her fists fell on Han Jin's chest and abdomen like a storm, fortunately in the air can't borrow power, Xian Ni'er is not a warrior, can't release the fighting energy, the exerted force is very limited, otherwise during the fall, Han Jin would have been beaten to death.

  With a thud, the two people fell to the ground one after another. First, he was punched over ten times and then violently collided with the ground, making Han Jin's injuries even more severe. As soon as he opened his mouth, a blood arrow shot out, spraying directly onto Xian Ni'er's face.

  Xian Ni'er was greatly shocked in her heart, she thought she had been ambushed again, and with a reverse hand, she drew out a sharp arrow from the quiver and stabbed it forcefully towards Han Jin's brow. At this moment, Xian Ni'er had already harbored murderous intentions.

  When Han Jin was seriously injured and blood surged up to his throat, the energy that had been rampaging inside him as well as all sorts of negative emotions found an outlet. After all, they didn't belong to Han Jin. With a mouthful of fresh blood spitting out, his mind cleared up, but the injury was irreversible. Han Jin couldn't even move a finger and could only stare blankly at the arrowhead falling towards him.

  At the critical moment, Xian Ni'er's angry gaze and Han Jin's gaze collided. She suddenly found that the blood red color in Han Jin's eyes had faded away. In Han Jin's eyes, she saw deep helplessness and despair. Xian Ni'er's heart moved, her arm suddenly stopped, but it was too late, the arrowhead had already pierced Han Jin's brow, and a drop of blood slowly seeped out.

  "Raphael?" Xanthe called out tentatively.

  "It's me..." Han Jin replied in a low voice, he didn't dare nod his head at all now, the arrowhead was still pointing at his brow.

  "What just happened?" Xanthe remained on high alert.

  "My leg... it feels like it's broken, and my ribs too..." Han Jin's face was filled with pain as he tried to change the subject, using his injuries to gain Xanier's sympathy.

  "Tell me, what just happened?" Xanier said coldly.

  Seeing that he couldn't move Xian Ni'er, Han Jin fell into silence. He had no way to explain and the hastily fabricated lie wouldn't withstand scrutiny. Moreover, Xian Ni'er wasn't a fool and would only become more suspicious later on.

  "Speak up, my patience is limited!" Xanier's hand moved slightly.

  Han Jin revealed a bitter smile, must he really say out his own secret?

  "Stilberg said, you took a black raven's magic crystal from him and left." Xian Ni'er suddenly remembered the dark aura that Han Jin had revealed earlier, and vaguely felt that she had grasped something: "Where is the magic crystal?!"

  "I've eaten it." Han Jin said in a low voice.

  "Did you eat it?" Xian Ni'er raised an eyebrow.

  "Because I can absorb the elements in the magic crystal." Han Jin originally wanted to say energy, but Xian Ni'er might not understand.

  "What did you say? Can you absorb the elements of the magic crystal?" Xanier was stunned on the spot, her voice also began to tremble.

  "Yes."

  "Can you absorb all kinds of elements?"

  "Yes."

  "Swallow it!" Xian Ni'er flipped her hand over and produced a bright red crystal.

  Han Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, it was a six-grade magic crystal, the energy contained in the magic crystal was almost several thousand jins. If he could really absorb the energy in this magic crystal, he would leap to become a sixth-grade professional.

  "I'll die if I eat it."

  Xian Ni'er's mouth curled up in a cold smile, her hand tightening around the arrowhead: "Oh? Why?"

  "One ant cannot drink up a river, I can currently absorb the elements of second-order magic crystals at most. After accumulating for a period of time, I can try to absorb the elements of third-order magic crystals. I must progress step by step."

  Xian Ni'er put away her cold smile and looked at Han Jin seriously. Han Jin's expression was very calm, he had already revealed his most important secret, what else did he have to hide?

  "After a while, Xanthe said word by word: 'If what you're saying is true, do you know what that means?'"

  "What?" Han Jin asked with great humility.

  "Your future is limitless!"

  "I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I just thought that today was my limit." Han Jin made a very forced joke.

  Xian Ni'er didn't smile, she fell silent for a while, then slowly said: "I've never heard of anyone having such a terrible talent!"

  "Do you believe me?"

  "Some believe." Xanield paused: "You just emitted a very obvious dark aura, and now all the dark auras have disappeared. I think... there's only one reasonable explanation, you can indeed absorb the elements of the magic crystal."

  "Can you lift your hand a bit? I'm feeling a little dizzy." Han Jin said with a bitter smile. From Xiuzhen's perspective, the center of his eyebrows was where the heavenly eye was located, and it would be uncomfortable even if it were just pointed at by a finger or a pencil, let alone an arrow.

  "Do you know or don't you, what your talent means?" Xanthe said seriously, she hated this attitude of being in a treasure mountain without knowing it, and always diverting the topic to trivial matters.

  "I know, but I need magic crystals and time." Han Jin had to say seriously: "Otherwise, everything is just an illusion." These were Han Jin's heartfelt words.

  "I still have one last question, why did you absorb the dark system magic crystal's element?" Xanier's expression relaxed a bit: "Aren't you able to absorb all kinds of elements?"

  "I... I only have this one magic crystal..."

  "Oh." Xian Ni'er nodded, her gaze falling on Han Jin's left leg, and her expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural: "Your injury... does it hurt?"

  Big sister! You finally know how to sympathize with me? Han Jin was almost moved to tears: "It hurts..."

  "It's all my fault, I thought you..."

  "It's not your fault, it's mine. I didn't think the dark element would have such a huge impact, and I completely lost control of myself."

  "From now on, never absorb dark elements again, otherwise, you will eventually become a dark creature." Xian Ni'er showed a hint of disgust, not towards Han Jin, but towards the dark aura.

  "I know."

  "Alright, I'll take you back." Xian Ni'er bent down and tried to pick up Han Jin.

  "No... let Stilberg come instead."

  "Can he take you back? Aren't you afraid of making your injury worse?" Xian Ni'er said with a hint of a smile, "I'm not afraid, what's wrong with a big man being so timid?"
