Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 749: I am Kuang Xin 2

Kuang Xin turned his head to look at his companions, his eyes sparkling with light, "This world is already so full of hardship, didn't we come over... precisely to save them?"

"I want to save them, that's all!"

"You're not strong enough." Yue Ying looked at Kuang Xin, her eyes filled with even more respect, but she was also more blunt, "If the demons attack, you won't have a way to save yourself."

"Then do you all have one?" Kuang Xin retorted, "If you do, then you would go without hesitation, right? It's just as dangerous for you, isn't it? In any case, we're all counting on luck, so does it matter who goes?"

Yue Ying fell into a slight silence.

Yes.

If it wasn't too strong of a demon, Nova could put up some resistance; as long as it wasn't a "desire demon" personally coming, she was not afraid of any demon invasion below the rank of a great demon.

But in the end... it all depended on luck.

Kuang Xin laughed cheerily, striding away from his companions, "My luck has always been good, good enough to meet the elder, to encounter so many friends to play with. So, your luck... definitely isn't as good as mine!"

In order to prevent being preempted, Kuang Xin made the first move.

The luster of Spiritual Energy began to emerge from his body.

The spiritual light shone increasingly brighter, eventually radiating in all directions.

That glowing Spiritual Body, even Yue Ying unconsciously found it dazzling.

Spiritual Energy had already begun to burn, and Yue Ying suddenly realized a problem, "Your Spiritual Energy isn't enough to support the entire burning time."

Even Yue Ying couldn't discern the true reserve of Spiritual Energy within the target while it was being gathered but not yet released.

"How long needs to burn at least?" Gong Yan urgently asked.

"At least... 300 seconds."

"Ahaha!" Kuang Xin laughed heartily, completely ignoring the matters behind him, "Then I'll burn for a while first, and for the part that's not enough, you guys can fill in the rest!"

His form stood in place, but his Spiritual Body in the high-dimensional space continued to shine brightly.

Accompanied by a loud voice, resonating throughout the entire high-dimensional space—

"I am Kuang Xin! I will burn completely for 300 seconds, becoming a beacon in the high-dimensional sea, sustaining the twinkling of humanity's stars!"

...

"I am Kuang Xin! I will burn completely for 300 seconds, becoming a beacon in the high-dimensional sea, sustaining the twinkling of humanity's stars!"

...

The voice echoed again and again, the will accompanying the radiance of the Spiritual Light, spreading far and wide through the high-dimensional space.

Bai E, contemplating tactics in the direction of his flickering candlelight, suddenly saw a burst of even brighter light appear before him.

That blinding light, even obscured by the high-dimensional storm, remained defiantly bright like an incandescent bulb striving to shimmer.

"I am Kuang Xin! I will burn completely for 300 seconds, becoming a beacon in the high-dimensional sea, sustaining the twinkling of humanity's stars!"

Through that light, Bai E could also faintly hear this heartfelt message conveyed by Spiritual Energy.

Kuang Xin!

Kuang Xin!

This very first player picked up, unexpectedly became the only hope for breaking the situation at this moment.

Bai E ordered loudly, "Help has arrived, all forces move out!"

...

Spiritual Energy shimmered, unrestrained.

Apart from those spontaneously awakened talented ones who would briefly shine in the high-dimensional space without guidance, this was the first time human Spiritual Energy users completely let go of any disguise and exposed their glowing Spiritual Bodies in the dark high-dimensional space.

No one knew what consequences this would bring.

Yet, this man named Kuang Xin was demonstrating it with his life.

That robust heart's voice not only resonated in the high-dimensional space, it also seemed to echo in their ears, reverberating with Kuang Xin's proudly proclaimed righteousness.

Nonetheless, no matter how pure the will, it could not evoke mercy from those demons.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

The brighter the Spiritual Body shone, the denser the darkness that surrounded it became.

Suddenly, a tentacle armed with countless barbs lashed out from the darkness, cruelly striking the glowing Spiritual Body with a whip.

Then another spike-tipped scorpion tail viciously stabbed into the spiritual body from behind, yanking itself out just as abruptly, taking with it only a shard of the spiritual body.

The first demon to arrive at the spiritual body's vicinity began a delicious feast.

With each lash of its claws and teeth, it took away another fragment of the spiritual body.

This glowing soul was, without a doubt, the favorite delicacy of every high-dimensional demon.

They were inferior in strength and acted more according to the instincts with which they were born.

While other, slightly stronger demons didn't dare to wander around because of the storm, this soul that fell beside them was unquestionably a rare blessing for them.

No demon could monopolize it, none could swallow it whole; the shards taken with each strike were already the largest pieces of food they could fight for.

Yet, throughout it all, this radiant soul never once faltered in its resolve.

The more the spiritual body shattered, the brighter it shone.

Watching the life limit drop continuously on the panel, Kuang Xin's eyes hardened as he, chuckling, began to burn his own life force.

Since the limit was dropping anyway, direct blood loss was just as inevitable.

Why not burn it first, to prevent vanishing directly due to the plummeting limit? What a waste that would be, right?

Feeling this resolute will and body growing fainter in breath, Yue Ying clenched her palm tightly.

Bai E, oh Bai E, what kind of person are you, that even your subordinates could turn out to be such heroes?

"He..." Gu Lan watched over Kuang Xin's body, and even though their player strengths couldn't fathom such mysterious terms as life force, from his trembling body, she knew his condition was far from good.

"Has he been attacked by demons?!" In her urgency, Gu Lan looked toward Yue Ying and Nova, the only experts in the field of Spiritual Energy present.

"Yes..." Yue Ying, with a solemn nod, fixed her gaze.

Shadowy figures flitted around his spiritual body; under normal circumstances, she could easily use "High-Dimensional Walking" to reach Kuang Xin's spiritual body and safeguard him.

However, during this high-dimensional storm, even transferring consciousness to the spiritual body—a normally trivial step—was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Only the absolute connection that "the spiritual body is the projection of a living being's consciousness in high-dimensional space" remained unaffected by such storms.

In fact, Kuang Xin hadn't ascended in consciousness; what burned was the Spiritual Energy, what glowed was the Spiritual Body.

His consciousness was always within his own physical body.

"Damn, that hurts!" Kuang Xin grimaced as he sucked in a cold breath.

The agony rising from the depths of his soul far surpassed any pain he had felt in the game before.

Even this torturous misery was continuous, petty in its persistence.

The shadowy figures passing over his spiritual body were like eagles pecking at his flesh, each one tearing a tiny piece of flesh and blood from him.

Even with the game system's distortion of pain perception, the sensation of being scorched by fire still intermittently challenged Kuang Xin's nerves.

But the more it hurt, the more exhilarating Kuang Xin felt.

"Hahaha! Come on! Come on! Let's see if you bite me to death first, or if my Spiritual Energy burns out!"

Once it burns out, just keep burning life!

After all, having come this far, burn! Burn!

Burn everything I have this time! And then, start from scratch!

...

The utterly drained body stood like an ageless stone sculpture for a long time before finally crashing down.

But it was caught in a soft embrace just in time.

Gong Yan looked at the face quietly sleeping in her arms, her eyes tender as water, filled with utmost gentleness, "Idiot."

She had to admit, this foolish man had thoroughly touched her heart for the first time.

She murmured softly.

Yet the Spiritual Energy had already begun to burn earlier.

The task Kuang Xin hadn't finished, she would take up.

"I am Kuang Xin! I will burn completely for 300 seconds, become a lighthouse in the high-dimensional sea, and extend humanity's twinkling stars!"

A voice, even gentler and frailer, carried the same will, rippling out into the dark high-dimensional sea.

Between the two different fires that sparkled one after the other, there was hardly a moment's gap.
