Chapter 237: Breaking Through Level Fifty, the Young Spirit King
Chapter 237: Breaking Through Level Fifty, the Young Spirit King
Dugu Yan sat with her legs crossed, her toes wiggling, looking like she was waiting for a good show.
She chuckled and nudged Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing on either side of her with her elbows.
"I say, you two, it’s been half an hour since we entered. You’ve just been having a staring contest here, neither willing to move to the registration desk—what’s the matter? Afraid of losing to the other and not daring to take the stage?"
Zhu Zhuqing’s dark, bright eyes swept over her.
Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the spirit tool at her waist.
"I won’t lose."
"On the other hand, you’ve been slacking off lately. When Qingmo finishes his seclusion, you’ll probably get a lecture."
"Hey, you brat!"
Dugu Yan’s forehead was covered in black lines.
She had indeed been lazy lately, but could she be blamed?
Lin Qingmo was in seclusion.
She was the only Spirit Ancestor in the Royal Fighting Team; there wasn’t even anyone who could put pressure on her. Even if she wanted to be diligent, she almost couldn’t find the motivation.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing!"
Xiao Wu straightened up and glared at Zhu Zhuqing, her cheeks puffing out like a pufferfish.
"What did you just say? You won’t lose? I was clearly the first to obtain the silver soul team badge!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked back and slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Based on what?"
"Based on the fact that I won three matches in a row last week!"
Xiao Wu slammed the table and stood up, nearly knocking over her teacup.
"How about we add a wager? Just betting on badges is boring!"
"What do you want to bet?"
Zhu Zhuqing leaned forward slightly, a hint of interest finally appearing in her eyes.
Xiao Wu raised her chin, determined to win.
"Listen up—if I win, Zhuqing, you buy me carrots for three months."
She paused, her eyes darting around.
"If you win, I’ll be your sparring partner. I’ll train however you want me to, no questions asked. Well? Do you dare?"
Without a second thought, Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly: "It’s a deal."
"Hey, wait!"
Dugu Yan immediately leaned in, patting her chest as she volunteered.
"Since this is so interesting, I’ll be the witness!"
"If either of you tries to back out, I’ll let her taste my new poison. I guarantee she won’t be able to sleep for three days and nights!"
Xiao Wu shuddered and glared at her.
"Using poison on us? Yanzi, you’re too cruel."
"You have to be a bit cruel to keep things under control."
Dugu Yan smiled triumphantly.
Just then, the announcer in the center of the Spirit Fighting Arena shouted out the next match’s lineup.
The voice boomed throughout the arena.
"The next Spirit Fight features—Evil Eyes White Tiger versus Thousand Hands Asura!"
Before the words had even faded, the audience exploded.
Countless spectators jumped up waving flags, shouting until they were hoarse, and even the stands vibrated slightly.
Hearing those two names, Xiao Wu sneered, slammed down her teacup, her face full of disdain.
"It’s those two annoying guys again."
She frowned and nudged Dugu Yan with her elbow.
"Yanzi, Tang San neutralized your poison before. Don’t you want revenge?"
Dugu Yan curled her lip disdainfully: "I’m a Spirit Ancestor now. If word got out that I was bullying a Spirit Elder, where would I hide my face?"
The two of them chatted animatedly.
Turning their heads, they saw Zhu Zhuqing remaining silent.
Her gaze was locked onto Dai Mubai, who had just stepped onto the Spirit Fighting Arena. Her fingertips were white from gripping so hard, and a intense Battle Intent surged in her eyes.
Dugu Yan leaned over and nudged her with an elbow.
"Still looking? When do you plan to beat him up?"
She knew a bit about the grievances between Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
"When I become stronger."
Zhu Zhuqing’s voice was as cold as ice, but her eyes never left the Spirit Fighting Arena.
Dugu Yan whistled: "When you finally take the stage, I’ll book the front row to cheer for you!"
Xiao Wu also leaned in, clenching her fists and eager to try.
"Remember to call me; I want to watch too."
"One of these days, if I run into them at the Spirit Fight arena, I’ll definitely give them a good thrashing."
"I’m a Spirit Ancestor, and that Dai Mubai is also a Spirit Ancestor. Maybe I’ll have a chance to face him before you guys do. When that time comes, I’ll let him know how powerful my poison is."
Dugu Yan chimed in with a smile, a flash of cunning in her eyes.
...
The back mountain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Blue Silver Grass covered the mountainside, swaying in the wind like a blue ocean with fine waves.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting a layer of fragmented gold over the blue expanse.
Lin Qingmo sat cross-legged in the very center of the sea of Blue Silver Grass, his eyes slightly closed, deep in meditation.
Dressed in plain white clothes, he was enveloped in a faint blue light, merging with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. If one didn’t look closely, he would be impossible to find.
A particularly vibrant stalk of Blue Silver Grass was Binding his wrist. Its leaves were moist and lustrous, glowing with a faint golden light, standing out like clouds from mud compared to the ordinary Blue Silver Grass around it.
That was precisely Ah Yin, the 100,000 yearsBlue Silver Emperor who was cultivating anew.
Lin Qingmo’s spirit power flowed slowly through his Meridians.
With every completed cycle, a large amount of pure Blue Silver Grass aura flowed into his body through his pores, nourishing his spirit meridians and washing away Impurities.
Ah Yin’s Blue Silver EmperorBloodline resonated with the Blue Silver Grass across the mountain, continuously injecting the purest life energy into his body to help him strike at the level fifty Bottleneck.
His mind was as clear as water, with only the single thought of guiding his spirit power.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
The spirit power that had been flowing steadily within his body suddenly surged.
Like a river breaking its reins, it launched a fierce assault on the level fifty Bottleneck.
The Blue Silver Grass across the mountain seemed to be summoned, gathering frantically.
Countless blue specks of light drifted from the grass leaves like stars in the sky, pouring into his body all at once.
"Ah Yin, help me protect my heart meridians."
He kept his eyes closed, his voice as light as a breeze yet certain and composed.
The Blue Silver GrassBinding his wrist suddenly flared with golden light, its leaves gently brushing against his cheek with a soothing intent.
A steady stream of life energy flowed in through his neck, helping him stabilize his restless spirit power and washing away the final barrier bit by bit.
Lin Qingmo’s mind was as steady as a rock as he guided the surging spirit power to strike against that wall again and again.
With each impact, the Bottleneck loosened a bit.
The barrier that had obstructed him for so long was cracking inch by inch.
Finally, a soft sound that only he could hear exploded within him.
The level fifty Bottleneck was completely broken.
The surging spirit power poured into wider Meridians like a flood breaking a dam.
The frenzied power gradually calmed down, finally settling firmly into the Realm of a level fifty Spirit King.
The frantically gathered Blue Silver Grass slowly returned to peace, swaying gently in the wind once more.
The blue specks of light filling the sky also gradually dispersed.
He had successfully achieved a Breakthrough.
Lin Qingmo slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, stood up, and patted the grass clippings off his clothes.
He looked down at the Blue Silver Grass on his wrist, his fingertips gently touching the lustrous leaves, his tone gentle and sincere.
"Ah Yin, thank you for this time.
Without you helping me stabilize my spirit power, I couldn’t have achieved this Breakthrough so quickly."
The leaves of the Blue Silver Grass rubbed against his fingertips with a hint of intimacy.
A faint smile played on the corners of Lin Qingmo’s mouth as his fingertips slid gently over the leaves, his movements careful.
"When I was striking at the Bottleneck just now, why did I feel like you were even more nervous than I was? I could feel your leaves trembling.
The leaves rubbed against his cheek again, carrying a faint fragrance of plants and trees, as if chiding him for exposing her.
