Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 698 - 670: The Blood-Sucking Egg

The Pearl was resplendent, floating in the sea, so dazzling, so exciting.

As bright as the sun, as luminous as the moon.

So beautiful that it deeply moved Lin Tian.

So gorgeous that even Lin Tian, a grown man, adored it immensely. If he were to give this pearl to his wife, she would be overjoyed.

However, Lin Tian could also tell that this pearl was no ordinary object, activating Subdue the Heavens to clearly see the terrifying energy fluctuations surrounding the pearl.

He stepped closer to the pearl, and fortunately, the energy fluctuations emanating from it were not aggressive. Slowly, he placed the pearl in the palm of his hand.

Bright and sparkling, holding the pearl felt like holding the sun, moon, and stars.

"It's so beautiful!"

As he felt it closely, he discovered that although the pearl had terrifying superpower fluctuations, the energy was gentle and stable. Holding it in his palm, he could feel a warm current throughout his body—it was a rare treasure devoid of any lethal power.

He guessed that if he were to place this pearl on his wife, or even just beside their bed while they slept, it would protect them from all ills, ensuring they remained healthy their entire lives. Moreover, it definitely had the effects of detoxifying and beautifying.

What a treasure! It was amazing!

Yet he felt something strange. The pearl's energy was relatively mild and clearly lacked any lethality, but the big crocodile and those fish, which had just gone mad as if possessed, were too bloodthirsty and ferocious. This definitely was not the effect of the pearl.

Perhaps there was something terrifying nearby that Lin Tian had not yet discovered.

He activated Subdue the Heavens, scanning the surrounding sea area, but aside from the pearl, he found nothing.

Could it really be that the bloodthirstiness of the fish was caused by this pearl?

Impossible!

Holding the pearl in his hand and looking at it—as innocent as a baby—Lin Tian could not, in any way, associate such gentle energy with bloodlust.

There must be something else nearby.

Search!

He activated Subdue the Heavens and started a sweep-like search within a hundred meters of the surrounding pool.

After one sweep, he found nothing.

He continued searching, this time extending his range to two hundred meters.

As they say, heaven rewards the diligent, and finally, at the bottom of the pool, he saw a corner of an eggshell.

The eggshell was buried deep under the water, with only a corner visible. If one didn't look closely, it would be unnoticeable.

However, observing it through Subdue the Heavens, he saw no energy fluctuations whatsoever.

With a try-and-see attitude, he dug the egg out from the bottom of the water, and when the entire egg was unveiled before him, he jumped in fright.

Holy smokes, the egg was huge, its widest part reaching half a meter, and the egg was as tall as half a person.

What kind of egg was this!

In Lin Tian's knowledge, only birds laid eggs, and ostrich eggs were considered large, but he had never seen such a gigantic egg; it could probably fit a calf inside!

He touched the egg with his hand, and inadvertently, his wound touched the big egg.

Immediately after, the big egg seemed to move slightly, and a small mouth appeared at the shell, sucking at Lin Tian's wound, which sent a searing pain.

He quickly withdrew his hand and looked at it, shocked.

His wound looked as if it had been seared, and what was even more alarming was that all the fresh blood had been absorbed by the big egg.

This thing sucked blood!

He quickly stepped back a few steps, staring at the big egg as if it were a monster.

Such a large egg was already shocking enough, and the fact that it absorbed blood was even more astonishing!

In his panic, not knowing how to deal with the egg, the long-silent "Taotie System" suddenly made a sound.

"The energy within this egg is tremendous. If you give it to me, I can give you a treasure in return."

"What treasure?" Lin Tian asked.

The "Taotie System" answered, "You possess the Godslayer Sword, but without a powerful set of sword techniques, you can't unleash all of its power. You could exchange this large egg for a set of sword techniques with me. Then, your strength would double."

Sword techniques!

This was indeed a problem. freēwēbnovel.com

In today's society, where spiritual warriors and superpowered individuals are rare, sword techniques, possessed only by a few sects, are considered treasures and are strictly guarded.

What the "Taotie System" had just mentioned was undoubtedly a deadly temptation for Lin Tian.

With the extremely sharp Godslayer Sword, pairing it with a powerful set of sword techniques would be incredible.

However, the "Taotie System" speaking up meant that this large egg was definitely no ordinary item, and Lin Tian was somewhat reluctant to part with it.

He asked, "System, do you know the origin of this large egg?"

"I don't know the specific origin, but based on my initial observation, this large egg has been here for at least five hundred years, maybe even a thousand."

Five hundred years, a thousand years.

It's of an ancestral level!

If those museum scientists or research lunatics got it, they'd be overjoyed.

He then asked, "This egg absorbs blood. If I keep it with me, will it harm me?"

"I don't know," the "Taotie System" answered awkwardly.

He asked again, "Then do you know what's inside it?"

"I don't know."

This was awkward.

Although Lin Tian had the "Subdue the Heavens" clairvoyance, it could see through iron but not what was inside this large egg.

This really was a hot potato. Handing it over to the "Taotie System" would be a pity, especially if there was some incredible treasure inside!

But since the large egg absorbed blood, keeping it close was also worrisome as it might drain all his blood. What to do?

Then, he tentatively said to the "Taotie System," "I haven't decided what to do with this large egg yet. How about you keep it for me for the time being?"

"Okay."

Then, a sucking force emanated from the "Taotie System," directly absorbing the large egg.

Now, Lin Tian could rest assured. With the "Taotie System" keeping it, there would certainly be no accidents.

This dive was a huge success. He had found a pearl and a mysterious large egg, both treasures.

Luckily, it was his first wife who had brought Lin Tian here, or he would never have obtained these two treasures.

He decided that tonight, he must reward his first wife well!

Hehe!

Carrying the pearl, he swam back to the surface. He had been underwater for quite a while, and He Qianqian was almost worried to death, but the moment Lin Tian joyfully resurfaced, a smile finally appeared on He Qianqian's face.

The pearl had caused a spectacle earlier, its brilliance rivaled that of the sun and moon. They were all very curious and wanted to know what exactly had happened underwater.

The people crowded around He Qianqian, their eyes fixed on Lin Tian, much like curious babies.
