Chapter 3: The World of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

  "Hurry up, turn on the computer! It's already 8:50, just ten minutes before 9 o'clock. The school beauty election online voting is about to start!" Zuo Yunfei shouted as soon as he entered the dormitory, while running to the computer desk and opening his silver-white laptop.

  Boot up, get online, log in to Haitian University BBS, a post titled "Haitian University's new campus belle election online voting" was pinned at the top! "Haha, I knew it, those guys from the gossip club seem to have some energy, they can actually pin such a post directly!" Zuo Yunfei chuckled and started browsing through the pages.

  Listening to the wolf-like howls coming from each dormitory in the building, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel that the charm of beautiful women was indeed great! "Old Three, stop pretending to be noble over there, come quickly and appreciate this. These twenty candidates we've selected are probably not the top twenty beauties in our school, but getting any one of them would still be a great achievement!" Left Yunfei called out to Lin Tian without turning his head.

  Lin Tian is a normal man, so the beauty also has a strong attraction to him, and he hurriedly walked over. Wei Feng and Xiao Bai were too lazy to turn on the computer at this time, and they also surrounded him. "Ten, nine, ... three, two, one! Nine o'clock, voting can begin!" Zuo Yunfei counted down.

  "Old Four, who did you cast your precious vote for?" Wei Feng asked, patting Zuo Yunfei's arm. "It's hard to decide," Zuo Yunfei said with difficulty. "Liu Shi from the third year, Qin Ke from the second year, our first-year Zhou Yao and Murong Xue all have the qualifications to compete for the top spot on the school flower chart!" In the end, I'll vote for Zhou Yao, after all, she's in the same grade as us. If it were Murong Xue, she's a bit too cold!

  Twenty candidates, six freshmen were selected, including Jiang Qin, Murong Xue, Nangong Yuanyu and Zhou Yao, who were previously mentioned by Zuo Yunfei.

  As time went on, the number of votes for each candidate increased rapidly. This vote was only open to students of Haitian University, and each person had only one chance to vote. With nearly 40,000 students at Haitian University, in just half an hour, the total number of votes for the 20 candidates had already exceeded 10,000!

  "Xiao Bai, Lao Wei, Lao San, aren't you voting?" Zuo Yunfei asked, turning his head. Lin Tian and the others all shook their heads. "It seems that Qin Ke will be the first on the school flower list. Zhou Ya is actually not worse than her, but after all, she's a newcomer, and her popularity base isn't as good as Qin Ke's!" Looking at the data, Zuo Yunfei sighed, "Liu Shi's ranking has fallen compared to last year. It seems that the rumor about her having a boyfriend is true!"

  "Fourth, you guys take your time to study, I'm not feeling well, I'll go sleep first!" Lin Tian said with a greeting. Zuo Yunfei and the others all nodded in agreement, Lin Tian was also injured now, so it's good for him to get some rest early!

  Lin Tian certainly didn't want to sleep so early, as soon as he lay down on the bed, his consciousness entered the Star Ring.

  "Xiao Ling, tell me more about the Star Ring." Lin Tian said to Xiao Ling who appeared in front of him.

  "Good master!" Xiao Ling fluttered her wings and nodded her small head, "The Star Ring is what the old master used to collect civilizations, a total of 188,800 civilizations were collected. Although they are all in the same star system, the civilizations cannot communicate with each other. In the past, with the old master's power, all civilizations were in a state of time prohibition. However, since the old master's last bit of consciousness left yesterday, the time prohibition has been lifted. Now, the entire starry sky's time is flowing at a normal speed. When your spiritual power exceeds 100, you can adjust the flow rate of the starry sky's time to either twice as fast or half as slow.

  When entering the starry sky, you can choose whether to enter with your soul or physical body. Different entry methods have different effects. If you enter with your soul, you can only enter spiritual civilizations, while if you enter with your physical body, you can enter material civilizations. The old master said that relying on the power of the Star Ring, every week in real-time, you will have the opportunity to revive once in the starry sky. This opportunity is not limited to whether it's your physical or soul body. However, be careful, master, for each civilization, if you die once, you cannot enter again. For example, if you die in the A civilization world, you cannot re-enter the A civilization world."

  "Xiao Ling, within the Star Boundary, can I choose to exit the Star Boundary at any time?" Lin Tian asked.

  "Exiting the galaxy requires a 10-second wait."

  "What if my astral body enters the starry sky and someone calls me in reality?"

  Xiao Ling Dao: "Xiao Ling will automatically judge whether to wake up the master, so the master doesn't need to worry about this!"

  Lin Tian nodded: "Alright, that's it for now. Xiao Ling, do you have a chance to revive now? I want to enter the Star Realm." Xiao Ling said: "The old master left three chances of revival, and every week, another chance will be added. Master, what kind of world do you want to enter?"

  "What other worlds can we choose from?" Lin Tian asked.

  "The old master has collected 188,800 civilizations, which is very comprehensive. Basically, every type of civilization is included, such as martial arts civilization, cultivation civilization, modern civilization, high-tech civilization, magic civilization, crystal card civilization, soul civilization, and so on. No matter what civilization the master chooses, Xiaoling will implant the language of that civilization into the master's mind in an instant, so the master doesn't have to worry about the problem of not understanding the language."

  Lin Tian's mind quickly began to consider, Cultivation Civilization, Cultivation was a good thing, but with his current strength, he feared that as soon as he entered, he would be swallowed up by some monster that suddenly appeared. Modern Civilization, this... He was currently in the modern era, so he wouldn't consider it for now. High-tech Civilization, if he entered, he would lack both strength and knowledge, making it difficult to obtain good things! Left with Martial Arts Civilization, Magic Civilization, Crystal Card Civilization, and Soul Civilization, Lin Tian thought for a moment before choosing Martial Arts Civilization. Every man had a martial arts dream in their heart, and Lin Tian was no exception!

  "Xiao Ling, I choose martial arts civilization, is there a world like Tian Long Ba Bu?" Lin Tian asked.

  "Tian Long Ba Bu world? Master, in the starry sky, there is a Tian Long Ba Bu martial arts civilization that was incorporated into the starry sky about 800-900 years ago. At that time, the old master happened to be traveling through the Milky Way. The Tian Long Ba Bu civilization is a virtual civilization, Master, you can enter with your soul body!" said Xiao Lingdao.

  "Is there really a world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?" Lin Tian became excited, "Xiao Ling, can I learn the martial arts from that place?"

  "Alright, master, but martial arts can't be learned overnight." said Xiaoling.

  "But isn't there a shortcut? Like the Northern Profound Divine Technique, which can absorb other people's internal energy. And the Lingbo Micro Step, it shouldn't take too long to learn either." Lin Tian was getting more and more excited, wishing he could immediately master a bunch of earth-shattering techniques like the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, or the Lingbo Micro Step!

  Let's not talk about anything else, Lingbo Weibu is something Lin Tian has made up his mind to learn. Learning Lingbo Weibu can add an extra layer of safety to one's life! "By the way, Xiao Ling, the world of The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is a spiritual realm. If I were to learn Beiming Divine Skill, would the internal energy absorbed inside be able to transfer to my physical body in reality?" Lin Tian suddenly asked.

  "The absorbed internal energy cannot be directly transferred to your physical body in the real world, however it can be converted into boundary energy first and then the boundary energy can be converted back into internal energy and inputted into your physical body. This conversion process will roughly consume half of the internal energy but can eliminate the hidden danger of impure internal energy."

  Lin Tian burst out laughing: "Haha, alright, although it'll reduce by half, being able to eliminate the hidden danger of impure inner energy is a better deal!"

  "Master, are you going in now?" asked Xiaoling. "Enter, I want to appear near Dali City, Yunnan!"

  In the bedroom, Lin Tian closed his eyes and remained motionless as if he had fallen asleep, but his soul had already appeared on a large road outside the Dayan City of the Tiandragon Eight Part World in the Starry Sky. The road was empty for thousands of miles, with no one in sight. If it weren't for this, suddenly appearing out of thin air in broad daylight would be terrifying! Wearing a white ancient costume, Lin Tian had an air of elegance and refinement, like a young noble from the Jianghu world.

  "Fresh air, Xiao Ling, can you still hear me?" Lin Tian looked around and said softly. "Yes, Master!" Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Lin Tian's mind. Hearing Xiao Ling's voice, Lin Tian felt a sense of relief. Although he had read the book "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", it was one thing to read about it, but another thing entirely to personally enter the world within. An unfamiliar world would always make people feel a little uneasy.

  "By the way, Little Spirit, if I'm active here, will my physical body in reality be out of energy on the second day?" Lin Tian asked. "It'll have a little effect, but it won't be too serious. Your soul being active here is like having dreams at night. People who dream a lot may not sleep well, but the impact isn't big. Since your spiritual power exceeds that of ordinary people, the impact will be even smaller." Little Spirit's answer put Lin Tian at ease. He was worried that if he was active for a day and then woke up feeling exhausted on the second day, others would find it strange - who sleeps for a night and still feels so tired?

  "Xiao Ling, which direction is Dali City from here? How far is it?" Lin Tian suddenly thought of a very serious problem. He was penniless now, without any money, and every step was difficult to take! "Still thinking of being invincible? It seems that the first thing to solve is the food and clothing problem. If I starve to death and lose the opportunity to re-enter the Tianlong Babu world again, it would be too frustrating!" Lin Tian muttered to himself.

  "Master, go forward, it's on the way to Dali City, twenty miles away!" Xiaoling replied.

  "Giddy up!" "Giddy up!"...

  Behind him, the sound of horseshoes came in waves. Lin Tian hurriedly stepped aside and looked back, with his current strength, he estimated that even a slightly stronger ordinary person in the world of Dragon Eight could not be beaten, so everything had to be low-key.

  "Yuyan, our child will be named Duan Yun. I have already informed Uncle and Master Kongweng about this trip to the Heavenly Dragon Temple. In the future, he will be the master of the Dali Kingdom!" Inside the luxurious carriage, a man who looked younger than thirty but was actually over thirty, Duan Yu, held Wang Yuyan's hand and spoke softly.

  "Duanyun, Duanyun, I really hope our child can be as free and easy-going as the clouds in the future. But being in the royal family, we cannot give him that freedom, and his illness..." Wang Yuyan whispered to the child in her arms.

  Lin Tian looked at the dozens of riders guarding a horse carriage, with a large flag fluttering high above bearing the character "Duan". Who wouldn't know that inside the carriage sat the current master of Dali, Duan Yu, one of the top masters in Jianghu? Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat as he took a step forward into the middle of the road and called out loudly: "May I ask if it is indeed Mr. and Mrs. Duan Yu? As I have fallen on hard times and am heading to Dali City, might I be so bold as to request to travel together for a while?"
