Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Bai was basically stunned by what he heard.

This magic was actually black magic?!

Furthermore, the backlash from the black magic was actually so terrifying!

God had opened a door for him, but this old man called Destin had closed it again!

Upon seeing the comical expression of shock and dismay on Lin Bai’s face, Destin couldn’t help but smile. “Actually, there is a solution.”

Lin Bai’s eyes immediately shone with anticipation. It was so intense that it was almost visible to the naked eye.

Destin chuckled at Lin Bai’s violent reaction. Then, he reached into his robes and took out an emerald crystal.

Lin Bai suspected that if this crystal was carried by this old man every day, there would probably be some… strange smell or something… In the beginning, he did not want to take it, but in the end, he reluctantly took it.

However, after receiving the crystal, Lin Bai discovered in surprise that the crystal actually flickered with a green light. It gave off a faint mint smell, which actually refreshed his mind.

“What is this?” At that moment, Lin Bai could not help but feel curious about this crystal.

“It’s a Purification Crystal,” said Destin.

“Purification?” Lin Bai was still rather confused when he heard this.

Destin patiently explained, “The so-called Purification Crystal has the wondrous effect of purifying the user. It can effectively cleanse the devilish and baleful aura of the black magic, causing the backlash from the black magic to decrease infinitely.”

The more Lin Bai listened to Destin, the more confused he became.

“Is it that simple? Then how did those angels degenerate?”

If a crystal could solve this problem, how were those Angels stupid enough to turn into Fallen Angels by the backlash of the black magic for no reason?

“Of course it’s not that simple,” said Destin. “There are also requirements to activate this Purification Crystal. The most important requirement is the supplement.”

“The supplement?”

“It’s similar to a medicinal catalyst,” Destin explained. “The catalyst needed to activate the Purification Crystal is a Witch-Hunting Vine from the depths of the Kobur Forest.”

“The Kobur Forest? A Witch-Hunting Vine?” Lin Bai felt as if Destin was speaking Greek.

“Those are just some nouns. Remember these names in your heart. You will encounter them if you are fated. If you are not fated to find them, remember not to use your black magic again!” Destin issued his final warning.

Lin Bai nodded. Even without Destin’s repeated reminders, he was already on guard. Lin Bai understood how severe the consequences of a soul backlash were.

He did not dare to risk his intelligence.

“After obtaining the Witch-Hunting Vine, place it in a mortar and add three drops of Magic Spirit Fluid. Then, grind it into a liquid and soak the Purification Crystal in the liquid to complete the awakening.”

Finally, Destin didn’t forget to add, “By the way, Witch-Hunting Vines are relatively rare. They grow once every 500 years. Good luck.”

Lin Bai was dumbfounded.

He called this “relatively” rare?!

The Witch-Hunting Vine grew once every 500 years. Even his entire life didn’t last for that long!

Lin Bai was so angry that he was rather dazed.

Destin patted Lin Bai’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Although Avada Kedavra is a type of black magic, it is very complicated. For you to be able to master it at such a young age, it means that you are very talented. If you are interested in the future, you can consider participating in the Hunter’s Association.”

Lin Bai agreed politely.

How could Destin know that he was not a Mage at all!

For a SSS-Grade like the Reader, wanting to master such a complicated black magic spell was as easy as asking for it.

Lin Bai was secretly delighted.

The SSS-Grade had not lied to him!

Destin simply said goodbye and teleported away.

After seeing Destin leave, Lin Bai carefully placed the Spirit Crystal from the Master of the Swamp in his backpack.

Then, he walked closer to the corpse of the fox bear leader. He secretly picked up something from beside it and put it in his bag before jogging out of the Death Swamp.

…

At Sorcha College.

The students were gathering in the square and preparing to send off the elite students who were about to participate in the Hunter Elementary Test.

Many people were discussing among themselves. The topic of their discussion was naturally the high-spirited elite students on the platform.

Of course, there was also the incident involving Lin Bai that had shocked the entire campus yesterday!

Was Lin Bai going to hunt the Master of the Swamp?!

This was the funniest joke they had heard this year.

Furthermore, the Class that Lin Bai had awakened was a rare Class called the Reader.

However, from the name, it seemed to be so rare because it was too trashy.

In a sense, it could be considered as reaching the top from the opposite direction.

“By the way, Lin Bai hasn’t returned yet. Could something have happened to him?”

“That’s possible. After all, the Master of the Swamp is not a kind creature. With a trash Class the Reader, Lin Bai definitely can’t handle it… Perhaps, he couldn’t escape…”

“It’s not a loss to lose such a trashy profession like the Reader,” said someone in an exaggerated fashion.

“…”

Cage stood on the platform and was also somewhat worried.

Only Su Ya knew best that if Lin Bai really faced off against the Master of the Swamp, the one who really had a chance of dying was the Master of the Swamp.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked to the square from a distance. When Su Ya saw that familiar figure, she was elated.

It was Lin Bai!

Many people in the square also recognized Lin Bai, and the crowd immediately exploded.

“Lin Bai has returned alive!”

“It can be considered a miracle for him to escape unscathed from the hands of the Master of the Swamp!”

The topic of discussion in the crowd had already turned to Lin Bai, who had suddenly returned.

When Cage saw Lin Bai, the weight in his heart was finally lifted.

Cage rushed to Lin Bai. The first thing he did was check if Lin Bai was injured.

After confirming that there were no wounds on Lin Bai’s body, Cage let out a long breath and said, “Don’t do such a stupid thing next time, okay?”

“I’m sure you’ve seen it this time. Even ordinary Hunters have to be wary of a magical creature of that level, let alone a mere Reader like you.”

Lin Bai opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, he then swallowed the words he was about to say.

After all, when Cage was nagging, Lin Bai simply had no time to interrupt.

“Since you awakened the class of the Reader, accept your fate. The path of being a Hunter is not the only thing in life…” Cage was still talking non-stop, and Lin Bai had a splitting headache from listening to him.

“Professor Cage, please wait.” Lin Bai hesitated for a long time. However, in the end, he could not hold it in anymore and interrupted Cage’s eloquent explanation.

After Lin Bai finished his sentence, he reached into his bag that he brought with him and fumbled for something.

At this moment, the attention of the entire square was attracted to Lin Bai. Everyone wanted to know what Lin Bai would take out from his bag.

Thus, under everyone’s gazes, Lin Bai took out…

The Spirit Crystal of the Master of the Swamp from his bag..
