628: Chapter 628 System Ultimate Upgrade, Abnormal Rewards

“What do you guys think, what rank can Senior Brother Lin Yu reach this time? The City Lord’s requirement is to be in the top one hundred and twenty!”

“Hard to say! Seeing how easily he killed Ye Chu and Luo Tian this time, his strength must have greatly increased again. Breaking into the top one hundred and twenty should not be a problem, right?”

“I think it’s unlikely! The higher the rank, the harder it is to improve. The gap between each rank can be a chasm! And don’t forget, almost all of the top one hundred and twenty are old monsters in the Undying Realm, and it’s even rumored that those close to the top one hundred have insights into the Undying Realm!”

“But Senior Brother Lin Yu’s speed just now… does that look like something a Limitless Immortal Emperor could have? Even City Lord Qing Xuan couldn’t stop him! I suspect he’s hidden his true cultivation realm!”

“Hiss… now that you mention it, it’s really possible! Has he already broken through to the Undying Realm?”

“Even if he hasn’t broken through, he’s not far from it!”

“…”

Inside the tower, various discussions could be heard.

Some people even directly brought out tables, chairs, and benches, starting to drink and chat, clearly intending to watch for a long time.

For them, there was no pressure at all.

To see such an exciting show right after arriving at the main Dao Academy was simply too thrilling.

However.

In less than two hours, the analysis list list next to the light brain showed a change.

“Hey, hey, hey, everyone look quickly, Lin Yu’s ranking is starting to move!”

Someone happened to witness this scene and exclaimed.

Everyone’s gaze collectively focused on the light screen of the list.

They knew the show was about to begin.

The City Lord had given Lin Yu the task of reaching the top one hundred and twenty.

If Lin Yu could do it, everything would be fine, and there would be more excitement to come after he left.

But if he couldn’t, he would be directly suppressed here, and there would be no more to follow.

Buzz~~

As the list emitted a buzzing sound, Lin Yu’s name and ranking began to blur and flicker…

Under everyone’s nervous and expectant gaze, he slowly began to climb—

150… 140… 130…

Soon, his ranking surpassed 120!

Until it finally settled at 111, then stopped.

Silence.

After a brief silence, a collective gasp of cold air suddenly rose from the crowd, followed by an irrepressible outburst of exclamations!

“Rank 111! He really made it in!”

“Truly defying the heavens! Cultivating in seclusion for a hundred years, not only has his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but his comprehension of the Great Dao is also so rapid!”

“Monster! He’s truly a monster!”

“The City Lord’s requirement has been met! What do you think, will the City Lord…?”

“Right, this guy killed a fellow townsman. Do you think he also grasped the secret of immortality…?”

“Shh! Watch your words! This is not something we can speculate on!”

He achieved it!

He perfectly met City Lord Qing Xuan’s requirement of “top one hundred and twenty,” and even exceeded it by nearly ten ranks!

This ranking, coupled with Lin Yu’s calm and unperturbed expression, made him appear even more profound and unfathomable in everyone’s eyes.

His confident demeanor.

It showcased potential and value worthy of serious attention, without overly agitating the higher-ups.

After completing the upload, Lin Yu withdrew his palm and felt a slight relief in his heart after glancing at the ranking.

Fortunately, he only uploaded half of his insights. If he had uploaded even half a percent more, he might have directly entered the top one hundred.

However, perhaps no one knew that the insights reflected in this current ranking were less than fifty percent of his overall comprehension.

By his estimation, if he uploaded everything, he should be able to enter the top ten, and even the top five was possible.

This meant that he had gone further and further down the Immortal Path of proving the Dao, already ranking among the top in the entire Star Dao Academy main branch.

He smiled slightly, did not leave the platform, but continued to close his eyes and began to comprehend the Dao light clusters that he had not comprehended last time.

Each of those light clusters, more or less, contained something he could use.

This was the benefit of directly cultivating the Immortal Path, coupled with the help of cultivation points.

He could precisely select the essence.

The next moment, he became immersed in his comprehension.

And everyone watching outside realized that when Lin Yu woke up again, things would likely be far from peaceful.

What awaited the students from the Inner City was definitely a storm of life and death.

……

On the Star Platform.

Time flew by in deep comprehension.

Lin Yu’s consciousness wandered in the boundless sea of Dao light within the light brain, skillfully bypassing the areas he had already comprehended, advancing towards deeper, more brilliant unknown Dao light clusters.

Massive cultivation points, like a floodgate opening, were rapidly consumed at an unprecedented speed, supporting the efficient operation of the core Dao seed of the Immortal Path.

Greedily and precisely drawing upon the essence of myriad Great Daos, melting them into one furnace.

Three years of time, in this place where the Dao roared, was but a flick of a finger.

Just as Lin Yu’s mind was completely immersed, and his understanding of the Dao rules became increasingly profound and vast—

“Ding! System ultimate upgrade complete! All ultimate system permissions have been unlocked!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the ultimate upgrade gift package.”

“Gift Package: 1. Immortal-grade Dao Artifact · Myriad Transformation Heavenly Pivot (all-attribute amorphous Dao artifact, can transform its form at will, forms correspond to ultimate laws).”

“2. Perfect Dao Foundation promotion to Undying Realm (Immortal Path exclusive perfect Dao Foundation, no bottlenecks in breaking through to the Undying Realm, and can merge with clones to form a ‘Substitute Dao Body’ to withstand one inevitable death calamity).”

A familiar yet seemingly containing supreme majesty prompt sound, like a grand bell, directly rang in the deepest part of his soul, awakening him from his deep state of Dao comprehension.

Immediately, two streams of information instantly merged into Lin Yu’s sea of consciousness. The profound mysteries of “Myriad Transformation Heavenly Pivot” and the details of the “Perfect Dao Foundation” promotion became clear to him.

Even with Lin Yu’s current state of mind, huge waves couldn’t help but rise within him.

The system controlling all system permissions was within his expectations, but this mysterious great gift was a bit too grand.

The perfect Dao Foundation given by the system was not like Tang Yue’s, which was based on ordinary Great Daos, but an unprecedented perfect foundation rooted in his Immortal Path!

With this, upon advancing to the Undying Realm, his life essence would undergo a fundamental leap. His physical body, divine soul, and Dao comprehension would perfectly merge.

His strength would no longer be constrained by traditional cultivation realms, but would directly correlate with the depth of his comprehension of the Immortal Great Dao!

What surprised him even more was that this promotion could actually perfectly integrate his clone, which had already been cultivated to its peak, into his main body, transforming it into an immortal substitute, capable of resisting one inevitable death calamity for him!

This was equivalent to adding an extra life on top of his absolute strength!

Although he was confident he might not need it, who would complain about having such a guarantee?

As for his comprehension of the Great Dao… Lin Yu sensed it slightly, and his heart became even more settled.

Three years of frantic consumption of nearly three hundred billion cultivation points had elevated his overall comprehension progress of the Dao light clusters within the light brain from one-thousandth to one-hundredth!

This was a qualitative leap!
