  Task progress: 100% (Completed)

  The task list clearly showed that the "Awakening of the Black Phoenix" task had been completed, and Lin Xiao smiled slightly, without any hesitation, chose "Yes".

  The next moment, a light pillar suddenly appeared in mid-air and fell straight down, covering Lin Xiao's entire body.

  Inside the light pillar, Lin Xiao only felt that his body was being kneaded by a powerful hand, but strangely, he didn't feel even half a bit of pain, instead having a floating and ethereal feeling.

  The whole process lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended.

  Until the light pillar disappeared and everything returned to calmness, Lin Xiao finally came back to his senses from that feeling.

  "Let's see what new abilities I've obtained." Lin Xiao hastily closed his eyes to feel the new power growing inside him, and gradually, his face began to look a bit unsightly.

  Half a moment later, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his gaze.

  "Unexpectedly, it was this ability." Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. What he had been looking forward to the most was Wolverine's regenerative ability, but reality wasn't his fantasy world, and things didn't work out just because he wanted them to. The ability rewarded from this mission couldn't be said to be bad, but it still left Lin Xiao somewhat disappointed.

  The reward is a kind of split-body ability, and it's not even one of the more advanced ones in this category.

  Because the task 'Awakening of the Black Phoenix' was completed, the newly acquired ability also automatically upgraded to level 2, originally it was only at level 1.

  At level 1, this ability allowed Lin Xiao to split into two seemingly real but actually illusory clones. Now that it's been upgraded to level 2, Lin Xiao can indeed create physical clones, and the number has increased to five as well. As for the strength of these clones... let's just not mention it!

  Anyway, just one word... rotten!

  At least for now, Lin Xiao's second-level Split Body ability is basically useless. Unless he occasionally wants to play a prank or two, it doesn't provide any substantial help at all.

  "Whatever, whatever. At least my mental strength was directly upgraded to level 8, and my cultivation also reached the third stage of the eighth rank warrior, not far from the ninth rank warrior." The lottery reward's ability is a bit rubbish, but the other rewards are still quite good.

  At least Lin Xiao's strength has been greatly enhanced once again, and now even if he relies solely on his physical strength, Lin Xiao is confident that he can fight evenly with a 4th-level variant like Wang Zhi.

  Unfortunately, the Magnetic King's ability is to control metal, and Lin Xiao's White Frost Sword happens to be made of metal. Taking it out may seem to increase combat power, but in reality, it actually reduces one's own combat power. When facing the Magnetic King, unless your control ability is stronger than his, taking out a metal weapon is equivalent to increasing his combat power.

  He sat down beside her, and at this moment, the zither was still sorting out the two strands of memories after fusion. It's estimated that it would take several hours to wake up. Lin Xiao took advantage of this time to consolidate his cultivation after the upgrade and get familiar with it, preparing for the next breakthrough.

  Lin Xiao closed his eyes and sank into his own body, silently running the first layer of the Wan Jie Secret's internal energy pathway.

  Nor does he know if it's because of the awakening of the Black Phoenix that this world has begun to evolve towards a 3rd-level Small Thousand World, but Lin Xiao can clearly feel the sudden surge in the number of yuanqi in the air, which is at least three times more than before.

  Under such sufficient yuanqi supply, Lin Xiao accelerated the running speed of his internal energy to its limit, and in just a few minutes, a large cycle was completed.

  After nearly an hour, Lin Xiao had thoroughly familiarized himself with this surge of power. He slowly stopped the operation of his technique, and the last wisp of energy was swallowed up by the cells in his body.

  He opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a long breath, the airflow visible to the naked eye in mid-air, before disappearing without a trace.

  Turning his head to look at the piano beside him, Lin Xiao thought for a moment before standing up and picking her up from the ground, directly soaring into the sky and flying towards New York City.

  ……

  Seven days later... London, England.

  "Great Leader, most of the British royal family is already under our control, only a small portion is still making their last resistance, please give us two more days, by then the entire British royal family will definitely surrender to our Huangquan organization."

  The ghost fog shrouded in black mist was reporting the results of the past few days to Lin Xiao.

  Half of Europe has already fallen into Lin Xiao's hands, seven days ago he brought Qin back to New York, and soon she completely woke up, at first Lin Xiao didn't dare guarantee that Qin would not turn against him after waking up, after all in that conscious space she had already known her own identity, appearance can be forged but consciousness aura cannot be forged.

  Lin Xiao couldn't be certain what kind of decision Qin would make after knowing the truth.

  Fortunately, things didn't go in the direction Lin Xiao didn't want to see. After Qín woke up, she didn't show too much excitement, but Lin Xiao could still feel her deep-seated anger. Of course, this anger wasn't directed at him, but rather...

  After waking up, Qin didn't intend to return to X Academy. She discussed with Lin Xiao and decided to stay by his side for the time being. Although she didn't explicitly say she would help Lin Xiao with anything, he was still very happy.

  As long as she doesn't go against herself, it's all thanks to heaven!

  Five days ago, Lin Xiao received a response from the side of the Earth Ghost, saying that there was a bit of a situation on the European side. An organization similar to X-Men discovered their Huangquan organization's actions and launched an attack against them. The opponent's strength is very strong, although in terms of numbers they can't compare to them, but in terms of quality they have a huge advantage.

  The earth ghost knew that his own strength was insufficient to resist the opponent, so he told Lin Xiao about this matter.

  Lin Xiao also left New York with his guitar and all other 3rd-level variant humans on the same day, arriving in Europe.

  After three days of fighting, most members of the opposing organization were killed by Lin Xiao. Some chose to surrender and join their Huangquan organization, while a small number were still on the run. Lin Xiao didn't have Professor X's skills, so it was really hard to catch these people.

  Fortunately, the people who escaped were not many and not strong either. Their leader was beheaded by Lin Xiao on the first day he arrived. Lin Xiao admitted that his opponent's strength was very strong, and among the 4th-level variants, it could also be considered a mid-tier existence. However, when he encountered Lin Xiao, even if he were a top-notch 4th-level variant standing in front of Lin Xiao, he wouldn't be his match, let alone him.

  After resolving the anti-Huangquan force in Europe, Huangquan's development in Europe became much smoother. Although there were still some resistant forces from various governments, these didn't require Lin Xiao to take action personally; his subordinates could easily handle them.

  In just a few days, nearly half of Europe has fallen, and although these fallen countries have not yet shown their submissive attitude towards the mutants, it is only a matter of time. It's just waiting for Lin Xiao to conquer all the countries, and then it will be a thorough reshuffle.

  These days, Qin has been following Lin Xiao's side step by step, and she sees everything he does. If it were the old Qin, she would have stopped him long ago, but since merging with Hei Feng Huang's consciousness, although on the surface everything seems normal, just becoming a bit more silent and taciturn, in reality her inner heart is also hiding terrible ferocity and destructive desires, all suppressed by her rationality. Nevertheless, seeing Lin Xiao's way of doing things, she doesn't have any repulsive feelings, but rather secretly approves of this approach.

  As for the changes in Qin, Lin Xiao naturally saw them with his own eyes. In fact, Lin Xiao had also thought about who he should entrust the huge organization of Huangquan to after completing this task and leaving this world.

  The land ghosts, although they have made great contributions, Lin Xiao couldn't help but say that their strength was still too weak to suppress the many variants under their control. Originally, Lin Xiao had planned to hand over the Huangquan organization to Wang Zhiyu to manage when he left, on one hand because his ideology aligned with his own, and on the other hand also because he possessed sufficient strength to quell the other variants.

  However, when Lin Xiao discovered the change in Qin, this idea had some changes. If Qin was willing, handing over the organization to her would also be a good choice. Compared to Wan Cimang, Qin might not be as good at commanding subordinates, but she had absolute strength.

  In fact, when Lin Xiao first discovered her combat power with probing technique without hiding on the zither, everyone was stunned.

  He couldn't imagine why there was such a huge gap between 4th and 5th level variants, it was like the difference between ants and elephants. Before knowing this fact, Lin Xiao had guessed Qin's combat power, breaking through one hundred was certain, but what exactly was her ranking?

  Lin Xiao once guessed that it might reach around one hundred and fifty or so, which was already the highest among all of Lin Xiao's guesses.

  But it turned out that he still underestimated Qin's strength.

  Underestimated the power of 5th-level mutants.

  Ps: Asking for monthly tickets, although the listing has already passed half a month, Lin Xiao still doesn't want the new book's first month to be too bleak, please support Mi Xie, thank you!
