22: Blood feud

[Ding! The Host has taught Ji Lingyue the True Explanation of Array Dao (Yellow Grade Medium Rank). It is detected that Ji Lingyue's anger value towards the Host has reached 60. Triggering 60x bond rebate. Obtained: True Explanation of Array Dao (Profound Rank Low Grade).]

"Why did the anger value drop so much?" Li Changsheng was incredibly depressed.

Favorability: 50.

Shock Value: 40.

Disappointment Value: 30.

Only the anger value was a bit higher.

Could it be that he had to do the opposite and increase Ji Lingyue's favorability to get bond rebates?

After Li Changsheng refined the Gravity Formation space, he felt deeply that his Array Dao level was too low.

He urgently needed to improve.

He asked about the Dao of Formations.

Ji Lingyue didn't know it either.

In her words, a person's energy is limited.

Alchemy alone was enough for him to study for a lifetime.

Since he couldn't obtain a good Array Dao through her, he could only rely on the System.

This was perfect.

With this True Explanation of Array Dao, Li Changsheng's Dao of Formations could at least be greatly improved.

Time passed.

Half a month flew by in the blink of an eye.

Li Changsheng was incredibly busy.

In this half-month, he had taken Li Qingyue to level up three times, and Li Qingyue's Rank had increased to Level 39.

Through her,

plus Ji Lingyue, his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

Ji Lingyue watched this, feeling depressed for several days.

On what basis? She cultivated hard and refined pills, yet she was still at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. As for Li Changsheng, if she remembered correctly, it had only been about twenty days since he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

This wasn't just a Genius.

He was simply a Prodigy.

Moreover, this Prodigy specifically liked to bully her, acted fake-generous, and spent every day doing nothing but sleeping.

Why did such a person happen to Breakthrough?

Of course.

The reason Li Changsheng could Breakthrough

was thanks to the bond System.

Every day, he would run to Ji Lingyue under the pretext of helping her refine Essence-Increasing Pills.

In reality, he was aiming for the bond rebate.

[The Host has helped bond target Ji Lingyue refine a Essence-Increasing Pill. Detected favorability of 50. Triggering 50x critical rebate. Obtained 50x Essence-Increasing Pill mana.]

For over ten consecutive days,

this was equivalent to the mana of five hundred Essence-Increasing Pills.

Never mind his extraordinary talent and Innate Sacred Body; even if he were Trash, his cultivation Realm would have increased by a large margin.

As for the Dream World's Beast Forest,

Li Changsheng had already cleared more than half of it.

In a few more days,

he believed he could successfully clear it.

The Great Sun Vajra Body had also been repaired to over three hundred words.

The further he went, the harder it became to fix the gaps and loopholes.

It was hard to say how long it would take to fully repair all three thousand words.

This day,

just as Li Changsheng finished a lecture at the Taichu Academy Upper Court and was preparing to leave,

a Core Disciple asked him, "Senior Brother, I heard you're also participating in the competition against the Blood River Demonic Sect?"

In this half-month, Li Changsheng had come to listen to four or five lectures.

Although the teacher's explanations were simple,

they were indeed helpful to him.

Gradually, he became acquainted with these Core Disciples.

This Core Disciple was named Xu Mao, at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

Despite looking like he was in his thirties, his actual age was over sixty.

He sat right next to Li Changsheng, so the two were relatively familiar.

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Correct."

Xu Mao said, "Good luck, Senior Brother. Try to kill a few more of those Blood River Demonic Sect brats."

Li Changsheng asked, "Why? Do you have a grudge against those Blood River Demonic Sect brats?"

Xu Mao took a deep breath and said, "My parents died at the hands of those Blood River Demonic Sect brats. Unfortunately, my Aptitude is mediocre, and I've only reached the Foundation Establishment Realm after all this time."

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Fine, I'll fulfill this wish for you no matter what. When the time comes, I'll definitely kill a few more Blood River Demonic Sect brats, consider it avenging you."

[Xu Mao, an ordinary Disciple carrying a deep-seated blood feud.]

This was the information regarding Xu Mao.

Watching Li Changsheng's retreating figure,

tears unconsciously welled up in Xu Mao's eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Senior Brother, thank you."

"Senior Brother Xu, do you think Senior Brother Li can kill those Blood River Demonic Sect brats?" another Core Disciple asked.

Xu Mao said firmly, "He can."

This Core Disciple shook his head. "After all, Senior Brother Li has only been in the sect for over a year. Being able to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm already shocks us, but the Blood River Demonic Sect certainly won't send ordinary Disciples this time. I'm afraid...!"

Xu Mao said, "You also know that Senior Brother entered Foundation Establishment in one year. What a Prodigy! Without absolute certainty, would he participate in this competition?"

The Blood River Demonic Sect.

One of the Five Great Demonic Sects.

Their power was even a bit greater than the Primordial Immortal Sect.

Moreover, their Disciples were all ruthless and used evil methods. Countless immortal sect Disciples had died at their hands.

Returning to his residence on Misty Peak, Li Changsheng rarely didn't enter the Dream World.

Instead, he closed his eyes to rest and adjust his mindset.

Tomorrow was the day of the competition against the Blood River Demonic Sect.

Entering the Third Secret Realm.

Because he might have to kill someone.

It had been over a year since he transmigrated from Blue Star, and this would likely be his first time killing someone in the true sense.

Although he was in the Dream World,

fighting monsters to level up, that was a dream after all.

It wasn't reality.

He couldn't help but feel filled with nervousness.

The night passed quickly.

The next day.

It was another rare day of waking up early.

Opening the door,

he saw Ji Lingyue standing in the courtyard.

"Morning, Senior Brother."

Li Changsheng said, "It's you who's early. When things are abnormal, there's bound to be a demon. Speak, being at my door so early, are you planning some mischief?"

Ji Lingyue's originally pleasant mood instantly collapsed.

She said irritably, "Senior Brother, what do you think you have that's worth me being mischievous about?"

"Who says I don't?"

Li Changsheng said, "First of all, I'm handsome!"

"Stop, stop!"

Ji Lingyue hurriedly stopped Li Changsheng, saying, "Senior Brother, narcissism isn't a good thing, and being conceited is even worse. A person needs self-awareness."

After spending this time together,

Ji Lingyue was no longer the timid person she was when she first arrived, full of concerns.

She also already knew her Senior Brother's personality.

He had a sharp tongue.

He did things wildly.

But he was a kind-hearted person.

Who was afraid of whom?

She, Ji Lingyue, was after all a princess of an Imperial Clan.

How could she be afraid of you?

Li Changsheng chuckled and said, "Not bad, you've actually learned to bicker with me."

"Speak, what's the matter, appearing at my door so early?"

Ji Lingyue asked, "Senior Brother, do you know if there are any secrets in our Primordial Immortal Sect?"

Li Changsheng shook his head. "You're asking me? I want to know too."

"Why? Could it be that you're also an undercover agent from another force?"

"I'm not."

Ji Lingyue shook her head. "I'm no undercover agent."

"I am a Disciple of the Primordial Immortal Sect."

"Let me ask again. I want to ask Senior Brother, are there any special people in our Primordial Immortal Sect?"

Li Changsheng nodded. "There is one."

Ji Lingyue's heart instantly raced as she hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"Me."

Li Changsheng pointed at himself and said proudly.
