201: Chapter 121: Taking Stock of the Gains

Silver-purple light shuttled through the turbulent Void Realm.

Xing Jin's figure flickered more than a dozen times in succession, moving far away from the coordinate area of Plane 712.

He let out a long breath, single-handedly tracing a star map trajectory in mid-air.

A crack split open in the spatial barrier.

Xing Jin stepped across, and the scenery before him suddenly opened up.

This was the exclusive residence allocated by Starry Sky University for top Prodigies.

It was an island suspended in the center of a meteorite belt.

Above the island, clouds and mist swirled, filled with dense Immortal Qi, presenting the scene of a blessed land from an ancient Cultivation world.

However, the island was surrounded by hundreds of high-frequency operating energy matrices, monitoring the energy fluctuations of the surrounding Star Domain in real-time.

Xing Jin landed on the white jade square in the center of the island.

He waved his hand casually, dispersing the high-concentration Spiritual Qi gathered around him, and walked straight toward the communication console at the edge of the square.

His fingers tapped on it, inputting a string of coordinates.

"Connecting…" A mechanical voice sounded.

Two seconds later, a holographic projection cast from above the console.

A young man appeared in the projection.

His eyes were equally striking, with his left eye presenting a dark golden color and his right eye a ghostly green.

The characteristic of heterochromia was of the same Origin as Xing Jin's, but the colors were completely different, representing a different branch of the Family Bloodline.

"Cousin." The young man slightly lowered his head and greeted.

"Xing Yun, stop what you are doing." Xing Jin pulled over a chair and sat down, leaning back with his hands crossed in front of him.

Xing Yun stopped the action of wiping his long blade and looked up at the holographic projection.

"I have already contacted that Lin Yuan you wanted me to test out."

Xing Jin put away his usual amiable smile, his tone turning serious.

A faint light lit up in Xing Yun's dark golden left eye, and his body unconsciously leaned forward.

"What is the result?" Xing Yun asked.

"Very strong." Xing Jin gave a two-word evaluation, paused for a moment, and added, "Completely beyond the limit of what you can compare to at this stage."

"You should honestly prepare for the unified college entrance examination a month later, and do not think about those unrealistic challenges."

Xing Yun froze in place.

He had anticipated many kinds of answers, but he never expected Xing Jin to give such an absolute assertion.

"Cousin, are you joking?" Xing Yun furrowed his brows and pressed further:

"He is just an early-admitted freshman, at most a Fifth-Turn Demigod."

"Even if he thoroughly stole the show in the Rubiks Cube World, how deep can his foundation in reality be?"

Watching his cousin's unconvinced look, Xing Jin involuntarily recalled that scene high above Plane 712.

In the sky full of black rain, that young man held a dark red long sword, with the tip pointing straight at him.

At that instant, Xing Jin felt palpitation.

His perceptivity was terrifyingly strong.

Xing Jin asked himself that his void concealment method had been Cultivated to the Realm of perfection, and even old monsters of the Eighth-Turn Demigod would find it hard to detect.

Yet Lin Yuan could lock onto his position amidst the chaotic Laws of the collapsing plane.

What was even more terrifying was the power brewing within Lin Yuan.

Xing Jin himself was a Seventh-Turn Demigod.

Relying on his Family Bloodline and various trump cards, it was an everyday occurrence for him to kill Eighth-Turn or even contend against Ninth-Turn Demigods across Realms.

When facing Lin Yuan, a Fifth-Turn Demigod, his intuition told him.

If they really fought, he would pay a heavy price.

This person must not be offended.

"I am not joking." Xing Jin looked straight into Xing Yun's eyes, his voice low.

"His Law affinity, Divine Power density, and sense of danger have all reached an unimaginably profound Realm."

Xing Yun's fingers holding the long blade tightened.

Xing Jin took in his cousin's reaction entirely, knowing this cousin of his very well.

Xing Yun was an illegitimate child within the Family.

He grew up amidst cold glares and bullying, suffering the disdain of his peers.

Until the year he turned eighteen, Xing Yun underwent Awakening in his Divine Domain, and the ancient Bloodline within him ushered in an unprecedented, comprehensive stimulation.

The higher-ups of the Family were shaken, directly listing him as a core sequence.

Leaping from the mire to become a Prodigy on the clouds, this experience made Xing Yun's personality become extreme.

He craved to prove himself, eager to trample everyone blocking his way under his feet.

The quota for the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races was the best stage he had identified.

"Xing Yun, take my advice." Xing Jin slowed his tone, speaking earnestly.

"The team configuration for the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races is very flexible. If you cannot compete for the position of team leader, striving for a quota as a core member is the same."

"There is no need to stubbornly fight a monster to the death at the starting stage."

Xing Yun remained silent, his ghostly green right eye narrowing slightly.

"Your top priority right now is to complete the second-stage Awakening of your Divine Domain." Xing Jin threw out the key information.

Hearing this, Xing Yun's breathing became heavy.

Their Family Bloodline was very special.

As long as it was supplemented with specific high-dimensional resources, they could forcibly push the Divine Domain to undergo a secondary metamorphosis at the demigod stage.

This was a benign mutation of innate talent, which could cause a qualitative leap in the Divine Domain.

"As long as you complete the second-stage Awakening, your comprehensive combat power will multiply by more than 10 times…"

Xing Jin continued, "With this trump card, even if you enroll two months later than this batch of early-admitted freshmen, you can still steadily secure a spot for the competition."

Xing Yun took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions.

"Too rigid and it will easily break; excessive brilliance leads to injury." Xing Jin looked at his cousin and uttered his final piece of advice.

"You have suffered since childhood and held a breath in your heart, which can become the driving force for you to move forward."

"However, the lifespan of a deity lasts for tens of thousands of years or even longer; a momentary burst of pride is completely meaningless."

"Learn to endure, learn to evaluate opponents, and you will be able to live longer in this starry sky."

Xing Yun quietly listened to the end and obediently nodded.

"I understand, cousin. I will prepare for the college entrance examination and the Awakening ceremony with peace of mind." Xing Yun's voice returned to calmness.

Seeing that the other's attitude was upright, Xing Jin smiled.

"Alright, I will transfer the resources to your account on time. Cultivate with concentration."

The communication was cut off, and the holographic projection dissipated.

Xing Jin stood up, stretched, and turned to walk toward the cultivation room deep within the island.

He did not notice that in the second before the communication was cut off.

In Xing Yun's lowered eyes, a flash of intense unruliness and unwillingness flickered.

Not compete for the chief, and go be a mere team member?

Xing Yun sneered and gripped his long blade tightly.

Those old fogies in the Family had once told him to resign himself to fate; so what was the result?

He wanted to drag all those high-and-mighty people down from their divine altars.

...

High above Plane 712.

A massive Wasteland Divine Domain channel spanned across the horizon, and countless root systems were rapidly withdrawing.

The last continental wreckage was swept into the Wasteland Divine Domain.

The Liquid Metal Blood-Devouring Demon Tree emitted a satisfied hum, and the liquid human face on its trunk closed its eyes, falling back into a deep sleep.

The channel slowly closed.

Lin Yuan suspended in mid-air, closed his eyes, and felt the changes taking place within his body.

A massive amount of plane Origin fed back, coupled with the foundation accumulated previously, the Divine Power inside Lin Yuan's body had reached a critical point.

The barrier of the Fifth-Turn Demigod was as thin as cicada wings, and could be broken through by the surging Divine Power at any time.

According to past experience, he needed to find a safe place for seclusion, endure the explosion-like impact of Divine Power, and forcibly break through Realms.

This time was different.

Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly.

Mental Energy sank into the Meridians, taking over those rampaging dark gold Divine Powers.

He guided these Divine Powers to begin circulating according to the specific routes he had previously learned.

The Divine Power passed through the heart, flowed through all his limbs and bones, and finally gathered in the Sea of Consciousness between his brows.

Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, the divine fire burned quietly.

This Divine Power was purified, compressed, and then sent back into the Meridians.

A closed loop formed, and the Divine Power began to circulate again.

They formed endless Möbius strips inside Lin Yuan's body.

The urge for Breakthrough was perfectly resolved.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid air.

He could feel that his control over power had reached a completely new height.

As long as he was willing, he could untie the internal circulation at any time and step into the Sixth-Turn Demigod.

As expected, knowledge is power; the money spent on these credits was worth it.

Lin Yuan took out his exclusive Star Key and called for a starship.

Space distorted, and a shuttle-shaped airship appeared out of thin air.

Lin Yuan stepped into the cockpit, started the jump engine, and the airship plunged deep into the Void Realm.

A few hours later, the airship landed steadily on Launch Pad No. 3 at the edge of the Dead Star.

"Monitor Lin, you're back so soon?" Zhu Tai beamed with smiles.

"Looking at your refreshed appearance, you must have returned with a full load."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, without saying much, and headed straight back to the exclusive villa area of High-Risk Class 3.

Walking to the door of his villa No. 079, Lin Yuan stopped and turned to look at the neighboring villa.

That was Bai Ye's residence.

At this moment, Bai Ye's villa was shrouded in a layer of thick dead gray fog.

Faint sounds of bone fracturing and restructuring friction came from within the gray fog.

The temperature was a dozen degrees lower than the surroundings.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

This kid had indeed been very well-behaved recently.

Even his activities of slacking off and debating on the Star Net forum had stopped. Judging by this stance, he was brewing a major ultimate move.

"He got psychological shadows beaten into him by Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao's Mechanical Plague, and plans to amaze everyone with a single feat." Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly.

Having competition was a good thing.

The harder Bai Ye rolled, the more ruthless he would strike when going to train the freshmen later.

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze, pushed open the villa door, and tallied his plane plundering harvest this time.
