Who told you that I was in the Ningdan realm?
The next day, early morning!
From within the cave, a terrifying fluctuation erupted, sweeping in all directions, causing the plants and trees to tremble.
The Hua Hai Realm's oppressive aura radiated from Lin Dong without reservation, incredibly powerful, startling even the thin monkey beside him.
Hua Hai Realm, achieved!
The pool of spiritual milk before him was also nearly depleted.
Resources sufficient for several Hua Hai Realm experts to Breakthrough to the Tiangang Realm were only enough for Lin Dong to Breakthrough one major Realm, showing how solid Lin Dong's Foundation was.
The refinement intensity of his spiritual Qi was at least ten times that of cultivators at the same Realm.
Lin Dong clenched his fist, then unleashed a punch. The punch's might surged, a domineering and powerful aura erupting. A large hole was blasted into the cave before him, and the mountain shook.
"So strong!"
"Is this the power of the Hua Hai Realm?"
"A casual punch, yet it possesses such might!"
"Overall strength is more than ten times stronger than before the Breakthrough!"
Lin Dong was confident that if he were to face the Yao Beast King from yesterday again, he could calmly slay it, without needing to use all his trump cards.
More importantly, his spiritual Qi had undergone a qualitative change.
Looking inward at his Dantian, what met his eyes was a boundless ocean, with crystal clear spiritual liquid and surging waves.
"Is this my Spiritual Sea?"
Lin Dong was somewhat shocked. The larger the Spiritual Sea, the more spiritual liquid could be stored.
The larger the Spiritual Sea, the greater the advantage in combat. There would be no need to worry about spiritual Qi depletion, and Divine Abilities could be continuously unleashed.
"Oh my! Isn't this like infinite ultimate moves?"
In the future, Lin Dong would definitely not lack Divine Abilities. Just imagine, when others' spiritual Qi was depleted, he would unleash tens of thousands of Divine Abilities.
Would his opponents be scared silly?
Lin Dong felt thrilled just thinking about it.
But he also felt a little dazed, sensing that all of this was somewhat unreal.
Others might not reach the Hua Hai Realm in ten or eight years, but Lin Dong had achieved it in just a few days.
In a few days, Lin Dong transformed from a cultivation-incapable waste to his current state, where his cultivation was enough to rank among the experts of Yunlan City.
Only he understood the hardships of cultivation during this period!
Given his eighteen years of age and cultivation, breaking through to the Hua Hai Realm meant he was the youngest Hua Hai Realm expert in Yunlan City's history.
"Brother Dong, do you have to be so fierce!"
The thin monkey felt a bit helpless. He had only broken through three minor Realms in one night, yet Brother Dong had broken through another major Realm!
"Basic operation!"
Lin Dong waved his hand, then continued to drink the spiritual liquid. There was still some spiritual liquid left, and he wondered if he could Breakthrough to Hua Hai Realm second layer.
"The Bai family! Just wait, young master will be there very soon!"
Unfortunately, even after drinking all the spiritual milk, Lin Dong still couldn't Breakthrough to Hua Hai Realm second layer.
Lin Dong simply cleaned off the impurities purged from his body last night, then walked out of the cave.
Again, he set up the pot and oil, preparing breakfast!
How could cultivation be faster than eating?
During this time, Lin Dong ordered some Demon Wolves to round up some second and third-tier injured Yao Beasts for the thin monkey to gain experience and earn points.
Lin Dong could give points to the thin monkey, but he hoped the thin monkey would become self-reliant and capable of standing on his own in the future.
Lin Dong sat by the side, eating tiger meat and watching the show.
At his Hua Hai Realm first layer Realm, the essence contained within the Yao Beast King's flesh no longer provided as much help as before.
To achieve the same effect as before, he would need fifth or sixth-tier Yao Beasts.
Unfortunately, the strongest in the Secret Realm was the Tiger Yao Beast King; there were no fifth-tier Yao Beasts.
Otherwise, he really wanted to taste the meat of a fifth-tier Yao Beast.
If others knew Lin Dong's thoughts, they might call him a madman.
This was the last day of the assessment.
In the square, everyone originally thought there would be a free-for-all among the Disciples today, but seeing Lin Dong still leisurely eating meat, their mouths twitched involuntarily.
What was this?
Others were fighting to the death outside to earn points, while Lin Dong ate and slept, yet he was probably still the Outer Courtyard's top performer.
After all, Lin Dong killed the Yao Beast King and obtained twenty thousand points. Even if others fought for ten days to half a month, they wouldn't get as many points as him.
"Oh, it seems a group of people are approaching Lin Dong?"
At this moment, someone exclaimed in shock, "They wouldn't be trying to attack Lin Dong, would they?"
Everyone outside the Secret Realm sat up straight. Was the show about to begin? On the light screen, it was indeed Ye Tong and his group approaching, surrounding Lin Dong.
"Who is this?"
"Never seen this person before."
"I know him, his name is Ye Tong, and he's actually in the Core Formation Realm!"
"Besides Bai Han being in the Core Formation Realm, there's another Core Formation Realm expert this year. Seven Stars Academy truly has hidden talents!"
Outside the Secret Realm, everyone was startled, sighing in amazement.
Both Lin Dong and Ye Tong were in the Core Formation Realm. From the current scene, this should be the final battle of the assessment, right?
But everyone felt the outcome was obvious; Ye Tong wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Although special spiritual pupils were rare, they were no match for Lin Dong, a Prodigy who could single-handedly kill a fifth-tier Yao Beast King.
Coming was just asking for trouble!
It just depended on how long Ye Tong could last.
Swish!
Just as Lin Dong was in a daze, a sound of breaking air suddenly rang out, and a cold glint pierced towards Lin Dong's head.
"Who dares to ambush me?"
Lin Dong's figure flickered, and the attack missed, leaving a deep gully in the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Dong's cultivation had broken through, and his spiritual perception had also become several times stronger, allowing him to sense it immediately. Otherwise, he might have suffered a great loss.
"Oh?"
From the forest came a man's surprised voice, as if he was surprised that Lin Dong could dodge his attack.
"You are Lin Dong?"
"Indeed extraordinary, to be able to dodge my probing strike!"
Ye Tong's figure appeared on a large tree, his toes lightly touching a branch, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lin Dong from above.
"You are qualified to be my opponent!"
"It is your honor to become my stepping stone to the first place in the Outer Courtyard."
Ye Tong's eyes flickered with mysterious purple runes, crisscrossing and complex, making him appear exceptionally noble.
"So he's a Core Formation Realm cultivator!"
"No wonder he dared to attack me so brazenly."
"And he even has special spiritual pupils—Purple Infinity Spirit Eyes!"
Lin Dong frowned. Ye Tong's previous attack was a mental attack, which should have come from the Purple Infinity Spirit Eyes.
Double Pupils were the strongest pupil-type Physique in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
In ancient times, there was a Double Pupil user who achieved the Great Emperor Realm. When his Double Pupils opened and closed, they manifested scenes of the Universe's destruction and Rebirth, instantly killing Great Emperors of the same Realm.
"Hmph, you want to use me as a stepping stone? You really dare to think that!"
Lin Dong's face was as cold as frost: "If you had just killed monsters for points, it would have been fine, but you shouldn't have provoked me."
Seeing Lin Dong's expression, everyone knew Lin Dong was thoroughly enraged. Remembering the outcome of Bai Han and others when Lin Dong got angry last time, they couldn't help but feel some pity for Ye Tong.
"There's also a gap between Core Formation Realm cultivators!"
"Lin Dong, I will let you see how big the gap between you and me is!"
Ye Tong's expression remained calm. The aura of Core Formation Realm second layer spread out as he charged towards Lin Dong, his words filled with unparalleled confidence.
"Who told you I'm in the Core Formation Realm?"
Lin Dong grinned, raised his hand, and gently pressed down. The vast, ocean-like oppressive aura of the Spiritual Sea Realm swept out, and Ye Tong was struck as if by a star, flying backward several times faster than he had charged forward.
