Master Johnny did not give Lin Xun the Refined Copper Sand Maraca needed to summon Valkyrie.

Because from now on, summoning Valkyrie would no longer require the aid of an external object like the Refined Copper Sand Maraca.

Lin Xun only needed to click the newly added summon option on Valkyrie’s panel to summon Valkyrie in the game.

And in reality, he only needed a single thought to pull Valkyrie into the real world.

This also meant that Valkyrie was no longer like other summons, such as the Corrupted Three-Headed Lion or the Turkoman Bloodhorse, which could be traded to other Apostles.

Not only did an Exclusive Hero possess exclusive ownership, Valkyrie’s newly comprehended skill also embodied that exclusivity.

The Exclusive Skill called Valhalla’s Guiding Kiss was most likely like an exclusive item, generated according to the Apostle’s talent, which was why it matched Lin Xun’s own talent so perfectly.

After Valkyrie obtained this Exclusive Skill, those Shells that he would originally have thrown away no longer needed to be discarded for nothing. Useless Shells could be fed directly to Valkyrie as fodder to raise Valkyrie’s Shell Quality and skills.

That way, Valkyrie’s own quality could be guaranteed never to fall behind, and she could always keep up with his game progress.

“Later I’ll test how effective the boost from this Exclusive Skill really is. As long as the efficiency of converting Shells into quality improvement is not outrageously low, then this skill is unquestionably a godly skill!”

After bidding farewell to Master Johnny and the Chairman of the Direct Vision Association, Lin Xun returned to the Prophet Council of the Multivision School.

At this moment, Grand Scholar Rona had already finished analyzing the progenitor dragon eyeballs, and she was now analyzing the Executor memories copied from Lin Xun.

Within those memories there was one clear star god coordinate, while although the remaining star gods had communicated with the Executor before, they had never met offline, so their coordinates had to be analyzed and inferred from the scattered clues in the memories.

Both knowledge schools had now obtained the key clues, and their analysis speed instantly soared to an unbelievable degree. Perhaps in just a few days, all the remaining star gods would be swept up in one net.

[In the private laboratory, Bennett hands you a refined copper surgical tray…]

[Resting on the tray is a pair of dragon race eyeballs. The colors within the pupils constantly shift, at times flashing emerald green, at times blooming crimson light, at times radiating golden brilliance…]

[Bennett says to you, thanks to Grand Scholar Rona’s analysis and deduction, as well as the mobilization of a large amount of materials and resources from the school, the eyeball synthesis went very smoothly. What remains next is the final step, the transplant.]

[He can sense that the power contained within these eyes is extremely immense, but the properties of those powers are all different, and can even be said to be completely inconsistent. Even after synthesis, it is still difficult to fuse the various powers within them into one.]

[How many kinds of power you can obtain from the eyeballs depends entirely on the level of the transplant technique, your own compatibility with dragon bloodlines… hmm, and perhaps also a bit of luck.]

[You take the surgical tray and carefully examine this pair of strange eyeballs…]

[You have discovered Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes x2 (Special Item)!]

[Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes x2 (Special Item): Inheritance eyes taken from the Spirit Progenitor – Ancient Indigo Dragon. Not only do these eyeballs contain the Spirit Progenitor’s inheritance power, they also contain the inheritances of the Crimson King, the Pale Sage, and the Emerald Saint. After being synthesized together with the Primordial Hermit’s Eye, which contains the Golden Lawgiver’s inheritance, these eyeballs now completely possess the bloodline power of the six ancient dragon progenitors.]

[This item can only be used by a suitable bearer. By transplanting these eyeballs into empty eye sockets, you will inherit the bloodlines of the six ancient dragon progenitors.]

[After the transplant, you will have a chance to comprehend the bloodline skills of the six ancient dragon progenitors…]

[Dark Dragonfire Breath / World-Destroying Black Flame (Already Comprehended): The bloodline skill of the Hermit lineage. It wields corrosive poison, causing enemies to melt into pus beneath the burning of venom.]

[When using this skill in dragonkin form, you will spit out the powerful Dark Dragonfire Breath, causing enemies to fall into the Poisoned state and dealing massive damage.]

[When used in giant dragon form, this skill will transform into World-Destroying Black Flame. The skill’s power will be greatly increased, and every attack by the giant dragon’s rider will gain the corrosive poison effect of World-Destroying Black Flame.]

[…]

[Thunder Dragon Lance / Silent Thunder Prison (Not Yet Comprehended): The bloodline skill of the Lawgiver lineage. It controls violent thunder power, causing enemies to tremble in fear under the intimidation of thunder law.]

[When using this skill in dragonkin form, you can condense thunder power into a dragon lance. After throwing it and hitting an enemy, it will not only deal tremendous damage, but also has a certain probability of inflicting the Paralyzed state.]

[When used in giant dragon form, this skill will transform into Silent Thunder Prison. The skill’s power will be greatly increased, and the raging thunder will become a prison, with an extremely high probability of causing enemies to fall into the mindless state of Fear.]

[…]

[Wise Bright Mind / Wondrous Method of Shattering Folly (Not Yet Comprehended): The bloodline skill of the Sage lineage. With the immense knowledge accumulated over long ages, it perceives all flaws and weaknesses of the enemy.]

[When using this skill in dragonkin form, you can unconditionally perceive the enemy’s weaknesses, and all damage you deal to the enemy will be increased by 50%.]

[When used in giant dragon form, this skill will transform into Wondrous Method of Shattering Folly. After unconditionally perceiving the enemy’s weaknesses, it will not only grant a 50% damage boost to you and the giant dragon’s rider, but also provide a 20% damage increase to all allied forces.]

[…]

[Crimson Flame Wrath / King’s Edict (Not Yet Comprehended): The bloodline skill of the King lineage. With endless wrath, it devours the lowly enemies who dare profane the king’s majesty.]

[When in dragonkin form and after accumulating a certain amount of damage taken, using this skill will allow you to exhale devastating high-temperature flaming dragon breath, dealing enormous damage to enemies.]

[When in giant dragon form, you can still use Crimson Flame Wrath, and you will gain the passive skill King’s Edict. All damage you receive is reduced by 30%, and you will bear all damage for the giant dragon’s rider. So long as the giant dragon has not died, the rider will not suffer any damage.]

[…]

[Upside-Down Bewildering City / Illusory Kingdom (Not Yet Comprehended): The bloodline skill of the Spirit lineage. With bewildering illusion arts, it beguiles and deceives enemies, causing them to die within illusion without even realizing it.]

[When using this skill in dragonkin form, you can inflict a certain probability of the Confused state on a designated enemy, causing it to attack other enemies without distinguishing friend from foe.]

[When in giant dragon form, this skill will transform into Illusory Kingdom, causing the attacks of enemies within a designated range to have a certain probability to miss, with the miss rate able to reach as high as 100%.]

[…]

[Hymn of Life / Rebirth into Sainthood (Not Yet Comprehended): The bloodline skill of the Saint lineage. With healing arts, it soothes all injuries, and can even bring the dead back to life and let them be reborn into sainthood.]

[When using this skill in dragonkin form, you can restore a large amount of health and bodily damage to a designated target, and dispel bodily negative statuses such as Bleeding, Poisoned, Blindness, and the like.]

[When in giant dragon form, you can still use Hymn of Life and gain the passive skill Rebirth into Sainthood. When the giant dragon suffers a fatal blow, Rebirth into Sainthood can restore all of its health, energy points Ancient Dragon Power, stamina, bodily damage, and dispel all negative states, completely resetting the Shell’s condition. The passive skill of Rebirth into Sainthood can only take effect once before that Shell dies and is Reshaped, or before the page is refreshed and reset.]

[…]

[Ancient Dragon Oath (Guaranteed Comprehension): After Omniscient True Knowledge descended and saved the countless enslaved dragon offspring, the six ancient dragon progenitors once swore an oath to work together with one heart, remain loyal to the true Lord, and never betray.]

[By using this skill, you can switch between the six ancient dragon forms of Hermit, Lawgiver, Sage, King, Spirit, and Saint. After switching to the corresponding ancient dragon form, the attribute panel of that dragon race Shell will undergo corresponding changes. Before releasing an ancient dragon bloodline skill, you must switch to the corresponding ancient dragon form.]

[…]

[Using the above skills will all consume Ancient Dragon Power, and Ancient Dragon Oath has a relatively short skill cooldown. However, the more frequently you switch ancient dragon forms in the same battle, the longer the cooldown of Ancient Dragon Oath will become.]

“This… this is way too insane!”

The item description of the Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes was so long it made one’s scalp go numb. Lin Xun spent quite a while just reading the item description and understanding the skill effects inside.

But after interpreting the skill effects, he had no choice but to sigh in admiration at how insane it was.

If the little dragonkin Shell could comprehend all the bloodline skills of the six ancient dragons, it would practically become an all-purpose Shell.

Not only could it deal damage, it could also provide support from the side, and could even act as a healer to heal and restore health.

And these skills were all dual-form skills. In dragonkin form, their effects leaned toward fighting alone, while in giant dragon form, they were more inclined toward coordinated combat with a rider.

“If I really had Bee Queen Visage, I could ride myself. But if an ordinary Apostle got these skills, how would they handle it? Find a humanoid summon to ride them? Or find a plot character to ride them?”

The reason the Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes were so powerful was because the bloodlines of the progenitor dragons were extremely hard to obtain, and even harder to gather completely, synthesize, and transplant.

First, one had to obtain the Hermit Progenitor’s inheritance in an earlier chapter. Only with that as a key could one obtain the bloodlines of the other four lineages.

Judging comprehensively, the Lawgiver bloodline should have been the easiest bloodline to obtain.

The shortcut method was to use the identity of Abyss Child to extort the Lawgiver bloodline from the Executor.

The normal method should have been to kill the Executor and have it drop from the corpse.

However, the Executor itself belonged to the level of a godly powerhouse. If not for the Administrator’s trial helping him, even with a group beating from a whole demon king legion, Lin Xun still would not have been able to take down that boss.

The acquisition difficulty of the remaining four lineages was much higher. First, one had to kill both the Executor and the unkillable Lawgiver Progenitor in order to obtain the four progenitor eyeballs.

And what was even harder was synthesizing and transplanting the eyeballs. Only with the aid of the analysis authority of the many Prophets in the Multivision School, plus Bennett, this top-tier transplant doctor, could the eyeballs be synthesized and transplanted.

Under such harsh conditions, the probability of comprehending the skills was still not 100%, and one still had to rely on luck.

From the fact that after the little dragonkin absorbed the Lawgiver bloodline, it still had not comprehended the Lawgiver’s skill, it could be judged that this comprehension probability was probably painfully low…

“I wonder whether transplanting the eyeballs alone will pry loose the ancient dragon seal, or whether I need to comprehend all the skills before it can be unsealed?”

Since Bennett had said that comprehending the skills required some luck, Lin Xun took out the fate-changing artifact that he had not used in a long time.

Sakura Falls Yasaka Curved Jewel itself was a Legendary+ quality item. Its influence on mythic grade or higher events gradually diminished. By this point, Lin Xun rarely used this item proactively anymore.

Because whether he used it or not, the result was usually about the same. Only before opening an important blind box would he use this mystical item for a bit of psychological comfort.

[Under Bennett’s gaze, you take out an ancient hook-shaped magatama gathered with great Luck Value, and pray devoutly…]

[…]

[You have consumed 85 Luck Value from Sakura Falls Yasaka Curved Jewel, greatly increasing your own Luck attribute!]

[Suddenly, golden light descends from the heavens and envelops you. Flowers bloom all around you, seven-colored radiance bursts forth, and it seems as though countless immortal cranes and phoenixes cry out in harmony…]

[Bennett stares at you in shock as you perform a whole series of mystical luck-praying rituals before the transplant surgery.]

[In the end, you conclude with the words, may the true Lord bless and favor me, then switch to the Shell of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit and lie down on the operating table…]

[Seeing that Bennett is still standing there in a daze and has yet to begin the transplant surgery, you can only remind him aloud…]

[…]

[Transplant surgery in progress…]

[…]

[…]

After waiting for more than an hour, Bennett finally announced that the transplant surgery was over.

[You have transplanted Six Progenitor Ancient Dragon Eyes!]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Crimson Flame Wrath / King’s Edict (mythic+ grade)!]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Upside-Down Bewildering City / Illusory Kingdom (mythic+ grade)!]

[You have comprehended the bloodline skill Wise Bright Mind / Wondrous Method of Shattering Folly (mythic+ grade)!]

[You have comprehended Ancient Dragon Oath (Special Skill)!]

Lin Xun frowned.

Apart from Ancient Dragon Oath, which was guaranteed to be comprehended, he had additionally comprehended three kinds of bloodline skills. Together with the Hermit bloodline skill he already had, he now possessed a total of four bloodline skills.

“Sigh, I’m still missing the two bloodline skills of the Saint and the Lawgiver…”

“Actually, it is still not bad. Getting three bloodline skills in one go should already be a pretty good result. I’m just being too greedy.”

Lin Xun took several deep breaths and calmed the disappointment in his heart.

[Bennett removes his surgical gloves and helps you sit up. Seeing your disappointed expression, he understands that the surgery did not produce the best result.]

[Bennett thinks for a moment and says to you, he can sense that the transplant surgery just now was not perfect. How about doing it again?]

Lin Xun was stunned. He could do it again?

Was this not supposed to be one of those things where, once the transplant surgery was over, whatever result you got was the only result you could get?

Based on his experience in Chapter Four, the probability of comprehending skills from some eyeball transplants was not 100%, but once transplanted, whether the result succeeded or failed, transplanting again would not change the result.

[Bennett seems to know what you are thinking. He slightly raises his chin with a somewhat smug and proud expression as he says…]

[True God’s Envoy, those limitations existed back when he was merely a doctor in a private clinic. They appeared because his transplant technique was limited.]

[At that time, once an eyeball transplant was completed, it would become fixed in nature. Even if it was removed and transplanted again, that fixed nature could not be changed. Furthermore, repeated extraction and transplantation would damage the eyeball’s quality.]

[But now, he is already the best transplant doctor in the entire world!]

[Of course he must have made major technical breakthroughs. Otherwise, would his more than 20 years of advanced study in the Imperial Capital not have been for nothing…]

[Now he is already able to clear the original fixation, and can also carry out another transplant surgery, or even multiple transplant surgeries, without damaging the eyeball’s quality.]

[So, do you want to do it again?]

[Do you want to agree to Bennett’s request for a second transplant surgery?]

Lin Xun froze. “You can do that too?”

“Doesn’t that mean I can keep rerolling infinitely until I get all the skills?”

Other than repeatedly exclaiming how incredible Bennett was, he could no longer think of any other words.
