With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 554, Level 71

Celia didn't speak, she just nodded slightly.

Her eyes flickered in the twilight, as if to confirm that Lin Tian really didn't need to fight anymore, before she finally relaxed completely.

She withdrew the shadow energy.

The black threads that had been swirling around her, almost invisible to the naked eye, slowly dissipated, like mist being blown away by the wind.

The hem of the garment hung down quietly, no longer moving without wind; the fabric lay flat on the ground, motionless.

Little White let out a low hum.

The voice was shorter than usual, a little hoarse with fatigue, but more so with satisfaction—like the languor after a hearty meal, or the pride of accomplishing something worth being proud of.

It rubbed its forked horn against Lin Tian's earlobe, much less forcefully than before, probably because it was really tired.

Lin Tian flexed his wrists.

He rotated his wrist, first clockwise a few times, then counterclockwise a few times, and heard a slight cracking sound from his joints.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible in the quiet twilight.

He glanced in the direction of Star Moon City.

In the twilight, the distant city wall was just a blurry outline, but there were specks of gold shimmering on its surface—the city wall glowed with a golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun—no, the sun had already set, and the light was from the illumination runes on the city wall.

The runes, spaced ten meters apart, were arranged in a circle along the city wall and lit up automatically when night fell, like a golden necklace.

It's time to go back.

He initiated [Star Leap].

His figure transformed into a streak of light and shot towards Star Moon City.

The light moved extremely fast, like a shooting star in the twilight, trailing a long, thin tail of light.

The brightness of the light tail reaches its peak at the moment of acceleration, and then gradually decays, leaving a trail of light that gradually fades away in the air.

......

The light fell steadily in front of the city gate.

Lin Tian appeared at the city gate, his footing so precise it was as if it had been measured with a ruler—just three steps from the gate, ensuring he wouldn't bump into the wall or block pedestrians coming in or out.

He didn't stop, but walked through the city gate and along the main street toward his own courtyard.

Turn into the alley and push open the courtyard gate.

The wooden hinges of the courtyard gate creaked, their sound particularly clear in the quiet alley.

The sound was a bit harsh. Lin Tian thought to himself that he should put some oil on the door hinges tomorrow.

He walked into the courtyard and turned around to close the gate.

The latch came down with a dull click, as if shutting out the whole world.

Lin Tian walked to the stone table and sat down.

The surface of the stone bench was a little cool from the night breeze, and you could feel the coolness even through your trousers.

He didn't pay attention and just sat there, tilting his head slightly back.

The last rays of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon, and night fell completely.

The dark red on the horizon faded to grayish-purple, which was then quickly swallowed up by deep blue.

One by one, the stars overhead lit up.

Then more and more appeared, as if someone had scattered a handful of diamonds on a black curtain, one by one, until they covered the entire sky.

He didn't rush into the house, but instead opened the system notification and glanced at today's kill record.

[You have defeated N Rock Armored Beasts, N Crystal Cluster Monsters, N Thundermane Wolves, and N Icefield Hunters...]

Lin Tian glanced at it and then closed it.

Lin Tian turned off the notification and leaned back on the stone chair.

The stone chair has a low backrest that only supports the lower back, but the angle is just right and it's very comfortable to lean against.

He released all his body weight, and the muscles in his shoulders and back could finally relax.

He closed his eyes and sat quietly for a while.

The night wind blew through the courtyard, and the leaves of the old trees rustled softly, a sound that was not loud but very dense, like a group of people talking in hushed tones.

Occasionally, a leaf would be blown by the wind and land lightly on the stone table, making an almost inaudible sound.

Tomorrow, let's continue grinding.

Make up for the last bit of experience – it's less than a percentage point away, and it should only take half an hour at most.

A level one main city won't be too far away.

He opened his eyes, stood up, and walked into the room.

The wooden door closed behind me, shutting out the chill of the night.

The latch fell again, this time much softer than the sound of the gate, almost drowned out by the wind outside.

............

Early the next morning.

Lin Tian woke up just as dawn was breaking.

He didn't have the habit of sleeping in. Once he woke up, he got up, quickly washed up, and checked his equipment and backpack—he had plenty of potions, and the equipment's durability was all above the safety limit.

He stepped out of the courtyard and took a deep breath of the morning air.

The morning breeze was cool, carrying the dampness of dew and the smell of earth.

[Flickering].

With a flash, he disappeared from the courtyard gate and appeared on a high ground outside the north gate of Star Moon City the next second.

This is one of the highest-level maps around Starmoon City, with monsters ranging from level 68 to 75, and they respawn quickly and are very dense.

There's a reason why Lin Tianxuan chose this place – it's close to the city, has a limited variety of monsters, and is suitable for quickly gaining experience.

Quickly kill monsters.

He no longer meticulously allocated skills as he had yesterday, but instead let go and give them free rein.

Star Rays were fired in rapid succession, and the Universal Pull was used wave after wave. Xiaobai's Ice Dragon Breath and Celia's Shadow Weave took turns dealing damage, making the efficiency nearly 30% faster than yesterday.

Monsters fell one after another, their corpses covering the ground.

The experience bar slowly increases from 99.3%—99.5%, 99.7%, 99.8%—

In less than half an hour, the progress bar finally reached the last segment.

A system notification sounded, its crisp tone particularly loud in the morning air.

Congratulations on leveling up! Lv.70 → Lv.71

Your pet "Bai Xi" has been upgraded to Lv.71.

Your pet "Celia Moriarty" has been upgraded to Lv.71.

Lin Tian did not stop.

He continued grinding for a few more minutes, clearing out the batch of monsters that spawned after the upgrade, before finally stopping.

I opened the character panel and glanced at it—level 71, experience bar 0.1%. That's enough.

He turned off the panel and stood there thinking for a few seconds.

Upgrading is just the first step.

The real goal is to become a level-one main city.

However, going from a level 2 main city to a level 1 main city isn't something you can do at will.

Lin Tian then used [Flash Shrink] to return to Star Moon City.

This time he landed directly at the entrance to the North District, saving himself the time of traversing most of the city.

Lin Tian didn't stop, but walked straight through the main street and headed north of the city.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the northern part of Star Moon City, at the end of a wide stone-paved road.

This road is different from the main street; there are no shops or stalls, only neat rows of trees and tall stone walls on both sides.

Behind the stone wall are various official buildings, and few people usually come here.
