Chapter 164: A Theory on Attribute Conversion

If the high priest really did return to Planet Norma, his incomplete soul state allowed him to easily hide from the Americans as long as he had the smarts. Who would be able to find him if he found a place to hide?

Harry’s request for Xiao Lin to assist in finding Asabanor was obviously just an excuse not to let him go. Would Xiao Lin have to stay here for a few years if they could not locate the high priest?

Since that was the case, Xiao Lin might as well show his displeasure.

Harry patted Xiao Lin’s shoulders. The latter immediately felt his shoulders sink and an unimaginable force pressed down on his body. He could not stop his legs from kneeling down on the spot.

Xiao Lin bit his lip. It was impossible for Harry to use full strength so that pat was only equivalent to the strength of Black Iron-rank. Even so, the strength was overbearing enough for Xiao Lin. He was not Black Iron-rank yet himself.

That old fox! It was a clear warning and reminder to Xiao Lin that he had no right to object on their turf!

Xiao Lin bit his lip firmly, but his own qualities were limited and he could not resist it through sheer willpower. His knees trembled uncontrollably, but just as he was about to kneel, a huge force suddenly came out of nowhere and surged in his body.

Xiao Lin slowly stood up straight and looked directly at Harry.

The smile on Harry’s face gradually diminished and he raised his brows slightly in surprise. He lifted his palm and frowned, as if thinking about something. A few seconds later, he put on another hypocritical smile, and said plainly, “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to imprison you. In fact, I can allow you to have your own activities in New Washington city sometime later. If you want to continue training, I can even persuade senior management to transfer you to Judge Academy.”

After a pause, Harry added, “You’re a freshman, so you might not understand it, but the truth is, transfers are more than feasible. Judge Academy always welcomes outstanding students from all over the world. Your nationality on Earth is not a problem.”

“Thank you. I’ve enjoyed my time at Dawn Academy, so you shouldn’t be bothered to worry about it!”

Harry shrugged. “That’s such a pity. We’ll talk another day. By the way, I heard that you’ve eaten and drank in The Final Land, but since we still don’t know anything about that world, you may need to undergo an individual examination tomorrow in order to avoid possible diseases or infection. This is what I came here to tell you today. I suggest you go.”

Xiao Lin was inevitably stunned after hearing about the physical examination. He knew that Harry would definitely not be able to let him go that day, so he had no choice but to give way.

Harry walked to the door, then suddenly turned his head and asked curiously, “The information I found shows that you are only a one-month freshman, and your comprehensive attribute value doesn’t even exceed twenty. You probably haven’t reached Black Iron-rank yet. ”

“Ah? Hmm.” Xiao Lin nodded. He was not sure what Harry’s intention was, but there was really nothing for him to conceal. Of course, he also lamented how quickly America got their information.

Harry nodded, stopped talking, and left the dormitory.

Xiao Lin let out a sigh of relief. The brief confrontation with Harry made him feel uncomfortable and the feeling of being watched from behind could not be shaken off. He did not know what level Harry’s strength reached; it could have been Gold-rank or higher, but he could not even bear it when Harry exerted just a small portion of his strength.

At that moment, Xiao Lin suddenly felt strength draining from his entire body and he slumped on the bed. It was then that he realized the sudden burst of force earlier, and immediately figured out why Harry asked if he was Black Iron-rank.

Harry probably used Black Iron-rank strength, perhaps to humiliate Xiao Lin or send a warning threat. He assumed that Xiao Lin was powerless because he had not reached that rank yet, but the result obviously surprised him quite a bit.

Had he reached Black Iron-rank?

Xiao Lin did not think so. Even if his battle in The Final Land would improve his comprehensive attributes, there was still a ways to go before he reached Black-Iron.

Moreover, this special power bonus did not seem to last, indicating that the power was only temporary. He touched the Lightstream Jade on his chest. With some doubt, he shook his head and rejected the guess.

The dragon power in the Lightstream Jade had long been exhausted and he was certain of that fact in The Final Land. Thus, it was impossible for him to have used the dragon power to improve his attribute value.

‘Hold on. Attribute improvement?’

Xiao Lin seemed to have thought of something and his eyes brightened. He did not just rely on dragon power to simply increase his attribute value in The Final Land. In particular, the conversion between various attribute values was undoubtedly more helpful to his battles.

Although he did not try again after losing the dragon power’s help from Lightstream Jade, Xiao Lin felt that he might have misunderstood.

He used the dragon power stored by the Lightstream Jade to increase his total attributes and to greatly improve his combat effectiveness for a short moment. He naturally believed that the conversion between attribute values also depended on the Lightstream Jade, or that it could only be carried out on the premise of improving attributes through the dragon power.

Perhaps that line of thinking was wrong.

The attribute conversion did not require the Lightstream Jade, let alone the blessing of dragon power. It was more like an ordinary skill that he could use at any time and anywhere!

That speculation undoubtedly made Xiao Lin so awestruck that the anger of Henry’s house arrest was gone for the time being. He urgently needed to verify his speculation.

After multiple thoughts, he decided to immediately go downstairs and find the American guarding him. He told the American that he wanted to borrow a training ground, regardless of where it was, but the American still did not understand, despite repeated gestures.

However, the guards were also more polite to him on that occasion. It seemed that Harry had spoken to them before leaving. They soon found Lilith because Lilith was the only one fluent in Chinese.

Lilith came quickly. After translating Xiao Lin’s request, the guarding Americans hesitated, especially after hearing that Xiao Lin asked them to provide the necessary training weapons.

Xiao Lin immediately began expressing his anger. House arrest aside, it was a deprivation of his basic freedom. After all, he was a student of Dawn Academy and a diplomat, not a prisoner. He droned about how it was a violation of his human rights and similar stuff.

The guard was a young American who had no opinion of it. He seemed a little flustered after so much big talk and quickly stated that he would go back and ask for further instruction.
