Starting Unlimited Evolution from Grinding

"10 bottles of Life’s Breath?"

"The Nature Bow?!"

When the name of that legendary-level equipment prize was spoken from the Elven Queen's mouth, the scene immediately erupted in uproar.

This Elf race wasn't even bothering to pretend!

As a unique alchemical reagent exclusive to the Elven race, Life's Breath had an annual production of only three bottles, most of which were used to maintain the health of the tribe's elderly elves, allowing them to stay in their prime for longer.

Therefore, this precious potion was generally not distributed externally.

The previous 2nd to 5th place winners had each only received one bottle.

Yet the first place winner was directly given ten bottles?!

This was clearly a straightforward move, using this opportunity to build a relationship with this youth of limitless potential!

As for what came next, it was even more outrageous.

The Nature Bow? This wasn't just some ordinary legendary equipment—it was one of the symbols of the Elven race, something personally bestowed upon the Elven ancestors by the Goddess of Nature back then!

To put it bluntly, this bow was more important than any Elven Princess, Elven Elder, or even the Elven Queen herself!

This was the root of the Elven race, their treasured heirloom!

And now, the Elven race was handing over this treasured heirloom to someone else?!

Had the Elven Queen and Elders all gone mad, or had the entire world lost its mind?

Paying no attention to the shocked reactions of the crowd, the Elven Queen continued announcing the final reward, which had also been promised earlier: "Furthermore, starting from today, I will represent the Elven Royal Court and the Council of Elders in granting Mr. Lin Mo the title of Honorary Prince of the Elven race, and finalize a marriage engagement with Velesia."

Compared to those earth-shattering announcements just now, this piece of news—which everyone already knew about—didn't stir up much of a reaction.

The elders of various powers looked left and right, exchanging words with each other.

After all, the boldness the Elven race had displayed this time was truly astonishing.

This was almost openly declaring that from today onward, the Elven race would follow Lin Mo, follow this youth not yet twenty years old.

They were binding the entire Elven race to Lin Mo, sharing glory and disgrace from now on.

This move was ruthless enough.

Although shocking, one had to admit it was an audacious and correct decision. Many powers that had originally harbored some small schemes now couldn't help but suppress their original thoughts.

Better to play it safe...

After all, in the current situation, no one would be foolish enough to offend Lin Mo.

This young man was already a top-tier powerhouse, and his future potential was limitless. Barring any accidents, he would soon stand at the peak of the continent, becoming a long-term uncrowned king.

Going against him at a time like this? Wasn't that just seeking death?

The Elven Queen took in everyone's reactions, a faint, imperceptible smile crossing her face. Just as she had predicted, as long as the Elven race was bound deeply enough to this young man, no matter what power it was, if they wanted to move against the Elves, they would have to think twice.

Of course, giving away the Nature Bow—a treasure of immense significance to the Elven race—wasn't just for that reason.

More importantly, from the previous war, they had already seen the Holy Light Power that Lin Mo had used.

After the war ended, the Elven Queen had also visited the Church's Holy Son to inquire about some related information.

In principle, Lin Mo's identity was not convenient to reveal for the time being, but the Elven Queen was a special case. After all, the Elven race's faith, the Goddess of Nature, was herself a follower of the Goddess of Holy Light. So naturally, the Elven race would follow their deity and embrace the Holy Light.

The relationship between the Holy Light Church and the Elven Royal Court had always been quite good.

Moreover, unlike outsiders who were completely unfamiliar with Holy Light Power, the Elven race's bodies possessed a resonance between the natural force they controlled and Holy Light Power. That is to say, the Elves had a very keen perception of Holy Light Power.

Thus, the Elven Queen had likely already guessed something, or rather, she had a fairly clear concept in her mind, though the specifics hadn't been confirmed yet.

Under these circumstances, hiding it further didn't really make much sense.

So, Lyons had told the Elven Queen the whole truth.

The Nature Bow was a treasure the Goddess of Nature had given to the Elven race. Logically, it couldn't be handed over to anyone else. But if that person was a future deity, the successor of the Goddess of Holy Light, that was a different matter entirely.

After all, even the Goddess of Nature was a follower and supporter of the Goddess of Holy Light. From that perspective, now that both the Goddess of Nature and the Goddess of Holy Light had unfortunately fallen, this future New God was undoubtedly the target the Elven race would follow from now on.

So, handing the Nature Bow over to him was entirely appropriate.

Lin Mo himself was also somewhat surprised. Previously, the Elven race had only given a general outline of the rewards, without a detailed list, so he hadn't known exactly how many rewards there would be before coming.

Thus, the actual rewards distributed completely exceeded his expectations.

Take the Life's Breath potion, for example. The 2nd to 5th place winners each only got one bottle. Based on Lin Mo's earlier expectations, having three bottles as the first-place winner would have been pretty good.

But instead, he got ten bottles at once!

Then there was the Nature Bow. The Elven race certainly had more than one piece of legendary equipment—after all, they were a race with deep heritage. While legendary equipment was indeed rare, the entire Elven race could still produce over a dozen pieces.

Yet they chose to give away the one that, under normal circumstances, was the least likely to be handed over.

After the initial surprise, Lin Mo quickly understood. It seemed this Elven Queen must have known something.

Since the Elven race was offering such a grand gift, Lin Mo naturally had no reason to refuse. With the threat of the Dark Tide growing ever more urgent, he needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Whether it was the Life's Breath potion or the Nature Bow, both could play a significant role for him.

So he slightly bowed and accepted this "gift" with neither humility nor arrogance: "Thank you for the gift, Elven Queen. I believe we will be excellent allies from now on."

With these words, he clearly expressed his stance.

He was binding himself to the Elven race.

The Elven Queen returned his smile with a smile of her own. After all, this was still a public occasion, so she didn't show Lin Mo too much deference. Instead, she spoke in a tone leaning toward that of an elder: "Originally, I planned to invite you to the Royal Court to host an engagement banquet for you and Velesia. But I heard you have important matters to attend to, so I won't delay your time."

"For now, the threat of the Dark Tide has not yet passed. The seal His Eminence the High Priest paid for with his life won't last much longer. So I believe all the living beings of this continent should unite and cooperate to face the coming crisis."

Though these words seemed directed at Lin Mo, they were actually meant for the human high-ranking officials around them.

After speaking, the Elven Queen turned her gaze to the Emperor of the Lockesetz Empire: "What do you think, Your Majesty the Emperor?"

Although the question came somewhat abruptly, the Emperor of the Lockesetz Empire had been on the throne for many years and remained composed. He responded with a smile: "That is only natural. The Queen is absolutely right. From now on, the Lockesetz Empire and the Elven race shall be inseparable allies."

The situation was clear. Lin Mo's earlier words had explicitly stated his stance, and the threat of the Dark Tide was a tangible reality. So, no matter which angle he considered, he had no reason to refuse the Elven Queen's proposal.

At these words, the high-ranking officials of the surrounding powers quickly snapped out of it and hurriedly chimed in agreement.

These old foxes could see clearly that, at least for the next few decades, standing with this young man named Lin Mo would be the right move.

And now was the time to show their stance.

If anyone chose the wrong side at a moment like this, what would happen next was anyone's guess.

The Elven Queen's gaze returned to Lin Mo. They exchanged a glance and, with mutual understanding, swept their eyes across the surrounding crowd.

These powers were responding one after another, all eager. It seemed they were all well aware that at a time like this, whoever stepped up might not leave much of an impression, but whoever failed to speak up would be remembered.

"Well then, regarding the future cooperation between my race and the Empire, we can discuss the details on another date. I won't waste everyone's time any longer..."

With these words, the Elven Queen turned and left, swift and decisive.

The Emperor of Lockesetz, however, couldn't just shoo everyone away like that. He had to keep these dignitaries around for a dinner banquet.

Of course, compared to the celebratory feast from that day, tonight's banquet would be relatively more ordinary.

Lin Mo naturally wanted no part in this kind of social occasion anymore. He quickly led the girls away from the scene. He had just received the rewards and hadn't had a chance to examine them closely. He was eager to go back and study them properly.

Before long, they returned to the palace that served as their temporary lodging. Closing the door, Lin Mo led everyone into the Portable Space.

Then he distributed the ten bottles of Life's Breath potion one by one to the group.

To be precise, he distributed seven of them. One of the remaining three was for himself, and the last two were for Nuolun and Shirleyas.

When the rewards were being handed out earlier, Nuolun and Shirleyas had actually been present. But as heirs of the Oxivis Family, they couldn't just leave casually like Lin Mo. They had to stay behind for some socializing.

Once the banquet was over, they would naturally come over. As for arranging the teleportation matrix to travel to the Serya Empire, Lin Mo had already contacted the Yas Family, the ducal family of the Serya Empire. They had said they would return to the Empire tomorrow morning and would send someone to pick them up.

After receiving the Life's Breath potions, everyone went back to their own rooms, ready to take the potion.

The safety of the Life's Breath potion was well-guaranteed. The natural force contained within was very gentle, and even if the effect wasn't outstanding, it was guaranteed to have no side effects.

Lin Mo also returned to his room. He slowly raised the bottle of light green potion in front of him and gently swirled it.

From its appearance alone, there was nothing particularly special about it.

He uncorked the bottle, and a rich, grassy, herbal fragrance wafted out.

Lin Mo felt a burst of energy, as if his whole state had improved a bit.

Interesting...

But he didn't hold out much hope for the potion's effect on him.

Could this so-called "talent-enhancing" effect really work on him?

By now, Lin Mo understood very clearly just how powerful his own talent was. If a talent of this level could actually be improved, then the value of this Life's Breath potion wouldn't just be legendary—it would be god-level.

And even whether a god-level item could affect him was still up for debate.

After all, Lin Mo clearly remembered that even the Ice Dragon King's bloodline, when it entered his body, had been absorbed and assimilated by him.

This proved that his life form seemed to be above even the Ice Dragon King's, which was equivalent to being above the gods.

Lin Mo couldn't figure out the reason for that yet, but the fact remained. So...

This potion was probably nothing more than a Constitution-boosting potion for him. The only question was exactly how much it would increase.

He glanced at his current base Constitution attribute. As the profession furthest from the Heroic Realm—the only one still at level 29—Lin Mo wasn't worried about increasing the attribute too much and causing a breakthrough.

So, the next moment, he tilted his head back and downed the potion.

The taste wasn't bad. Though a bit strange, with a strong grassy flavor, it also carried a hint of fruity sourness and sweetness.

After drinking the potion, Lin Mo quickly felt the changes in his body.

His Constitution attribute increased very noticeably, and his overall condition improved significantly. He felt full of energy, as if he had just undergone a long meditation session.

But just as Lin Mo had anticipated earlier, the changes stopped there.

The increase in Constitution was still quite substantial—a full 100 points!

This immediately boosted his Knight profession progress significantly, surpassing both his Ranger and Assassin professions. At the same time, his level naturally reached level 30.

Looking at his now-high 860-point base Constitution, and then at his only 804-point base Agility, it seemed he would need to focus on leveling up his Ranger or Assassin profession skills.

And speaking of the Ranger profession, he couldn't help but think of the Nature Bow he had just received.

This was a legendary bow!

Lin Mo eagerly took out the bow and examined its attributes. Then his eyes widened in shock...
