Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Soul Harvesting
On the way back, Lin Shen felt rather conflicted.
When he used to tease Ye Yuzhen, besides wanting to get married and have children as soon as possible, he indeed also harbored a bit of a vengeful attitude.
But as he interacted more with her, Lin Shen realized that Ye Yuzhen wasn’t like what he had previously thought.
You could say she’s like tea, but you can’t say she’s not good.
With such an understanding, gentle, and sensible woman, and a beautiful one at that, who is willing to spend time and effort on you, how could any man not be moved by such a “tea”?
However, the better Ye Yuzhen was, the more hesitant Lin Shen became.
Others might not know the troubles of his family, but Lin Shen was very clear about them.
Such big troubles that even his formidable third and fourth brothers couldn’t solve must be extremely serious.
It didn’t matter that he previously had no ability to help, but now that he had the power, he couldn’t just ignore them.
What’s more, under a broken nest, can there be any intact eggs? Even if Lin Shen chose not to think or do anything about it, if his third and fourth brothers couldn’t solve the trouble, how could he possibly remain unaffected?
Lin Shen didn’t know if they could solve the problem, but if they couldn’t, or if things turned out even worse, if he died it would be one thing, but what about the people around him?
“Man, people really are damn cheap,” Lin Shen cursed under his breath, deciding not to think about these matters. What was most important was to quickly raise his level.
He didn’t take the words of Bai Shenfei, as she left, to heart; it was clear she had said them out of spite to agitate Ye Yuzhen.
Upon returning home, Lin Shen opened another Mutant Egg and drank the liquid inside. Just as he was getting ready to go to sleep, he felt a stir from the Death Powder.
His heart leapt with joy, and he took out the capsule that the Death Powder had turned into.
Indeed, the capsule was slowly transforming and soon turned into a crystal clear, dark red rope.
Sudden change – Death Shredder: Super-Base Crystal-based Creature (can evolve).
Strength: 41.
Speed: 41.
Hardness: 41.
Toughness: 41.
Base Mutation Talent: Super-Base Devouring, Super-Base Evolution, Super-Base Armor-Piercing Spike, Super-Base Instantaneous Speed, Super-Base Hundred Refinements, Super-Base Solidification, Super-Base Soul Harvesting.
Super-Base Soul Harvesting: After killing a certain type of creature, it can produce a soul suppression effect on creatures of the same species. The more souls of that species are harvested, the stronger the soul suppression effect will be, and the effect will permanently exist.
The attributes of the Death Powder were as expected, nothing surprising.
The additional Soul Harvesting skill seemed to be a kind of deterrence skill, based on the description.
After massively killing a type of creature, it would create a deterrent force over those creatures. The magnitude of such deterrence could only be known through actual combat.
Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, Lin Shen took out his watch and teleported to Realm King Planet, planning to find a place to test just how effective the Soul Harvesting was.
And how strong the combat ability of the transformed Death Powder was after the promotion.
Killing ordinary Crystal Base creatures wouldn’t show the true value of the Death Powder, so after some thought, Lin Shen decided to use the Green Crystal Warriors as targets for practice.

Riding the evil dragon through the sky, Lin Shen found two lone Green Crystal Warriors. He jumped off the dragon’s back, using Death Powder as a spear, and with just one thrust, he pierced through one Green Crystal Warrior’s head.
“Average Green Crystal Warriors simply can’t withstand Death Powder!” Lin Shen threw another spear with the back of his hand and pierced through the head of the other Green Crystal Warrior as well.
Under the enhancement of Super-Base Instantaneous Speed, the Green Crystal Warriors didn’t even have the chance to dodge.
“How uninteresting.” Lin Shen frowned slightly, as this level of combat posed no pressure on Death Powder at all, failing to test its true strength.
The main problem was that killing these Green Crystal Warriors was no longer useful to Lin Shen; it was purely a waste of resources.
Lin Shen’s philosophy had always been to kill only when necessary. Since there was no use, he did not wish to kill without reason.
“I might as well wait until I advance to Crystal Base level before testing on Ring Mountain Planet.” Lin Shen felt that he might be ready to take on the challenges of Ring Mountain Planet.
Having tested his skills, continuing any further seemed pointless.
After killing the two Green Crystal Warriors, information appeared under the Soul Harvesting skill: Green Crystal Warrior 2|100.
The effect was there, but not very pronounced. The Green Crystal Warriors, upon seeing Death Powder which had Soul Harvesting, hesitated only briefly before immediately pouncing.
Riding the evil dragon in the sky, he sought out mutant Purple Crystal Warriors and Red Crystal Warriors.
Having consumed too many Blue Crystal Eggs, the Blue Crystal Base Mutation Fluid was now useless to Lin Shen; there was no use in killing for it anymore.
There was no need to sell it for money either, as Lin Shen was not short on cash, and it could easily cause trouble.
Red Crystal Warriors were exceedingly rare in the desert; so far, not even one had been spotted. Had Lin Shen not had four Red Crystal Eggs in hand, he would have doubted their very existence.
As Fate would have it, just as he was thinking about never having seen a Red Crystal Warrior, a large group of Green Crystal Warriors emerged in the desert ahead, easily numbering in the hundreds.
Among those hundreds of Green Crystal Warriors, there was one peach-red Crystal Base Warrior, the very Red Crystal Warrior that Lin Shen had been desperately searching for.
However, with hundreds of Green Crystal Warriors at its side, it wasn’t easy to take it down alone, and killing hundreds of Green Crystal Warriors was too time-consuming.
“This is a good chance to see what Death Powder is really capable of.” Lin Shen reached out, pulling the Death Powder wrapped around him and tossed it at the group of Green Crystal Warriors below.
Once unleashed, Death Powder transformed into a giant state, a monstrous creature over a hundred meters long, with a mouth like a shredding machine that devoured several Green Crystal Warriors in one gulp.
As both were Crystal Base level, the Green Crystal Warriors had no chance of resisting Death Powder, they were shredded in an instant once swallowed.
The attacks from the Green Crystal Warriors made no impact on Death Powder. Though it was a red crystal body, it was more elastic than rubber.
All attacks were deflected and nullified, unable to harm Death Powder in the slightest.
Like a dragon entering a flock of sheep, Death Powder struck terror into the hearts of the Green Crystal Warriors, to the point where they began to flee.
“If only this Death Powder had been in the battle at Sky Star Slope, it alone could have held the ground.” Lin Shen was extremely pleased.
The Red Crystal Warrior leaped up, smashed his fist towards Death Powder, and the sound of a sonic boom rang deafeningly. A white gas cone formed around his fist as the center.
The intelligence of the Red Crystal Warrior seemed quite high; he had held back until now. Launching a sudden attack when Death Powder’s back was turned to him was a calculated move.
The punch landed directly on Death Powder’s body, horrendous strength pressing and deforming its frame.
Like a balloon being pressed inward by a needle, Death Powder’s body was severely distorted, seemingly about to burst any moment.
The punch from the Red Crystal Warrior was so fierce that even Lin Shen was somewhat worried that Death Powder’s body might be punctured.
