Chapter 299: Chapter 283: It’s Over, Things Have Gotten Out of Hand
"What in the world was that thing? It could actually turn into a pool of liquid? Like black oil..."
Chu Zhengxiong shook his head. "An aberrant beast that escaped from the Restricted Area Battlefield, I suppose!"
"Sigh, I should first think about how to explain this to Captain Meng!"
"Damn it, I originally thought we could take care of it quietly, but I didn’t expect things to blow up this big!"
"There’s no suppressing this now!"
After speaking, Chu Zhengxiong rubbed his aching body.
He looked back at the mess on the rooftop.
He saw cracks crisscrossing the concrete floor, whipped there by the tentacles.
It was clear how much force those tentacles possessed.
If one of those had struck a person, even if it wasn’t fatal, their skin would have been split open and their flesh mangled.
The two of them went to the rooftop door and moved the huge rock away.
The door was already dented inward.
It was likely impossible to open it again.
"You, take a few steps back!" Chu Zhengxiong said, looking back.
Mo Yanfeng took a few steps back, creating some distance.
Then, Chu Zhengxiong took a running start, and just as he was about to reach the door,
he leaped into the air and launched a flying kick at it.
BOOM—
After a loud bang,
the door was kicked clean off its hinges by Chu Zhengxiong.
"Let’s go, downstairs first!"
Chu Zhengxiong dusted himself off, and the two of them headed downstairs, one after the other.

「Early Morning.」
Lin Yi emerged from the domain of the [Star River Qi Transformation Technique].
His realm had risen once again.
However, Lin Yi wasn’t too surprised.
Even though he had only just broken through to 6-Star yesterday, he had eaten a large amount of Demon Beast Meat.
After refining all of it, it had converted into Qi and Blood.
Then, he had cultivated for the entire night within the domain of the [Star River Qi Transformation Technique].
He had only just purified all this Qi and Blood, turning it into Source Qi and storing it away.
Besides, inside the [Star River Qi Transformation Technique], one could naturally obtain even purer Source Qi.
He had directly taken another small step forward in his realm.
He was even about to rush to the 2nd Order.
At this rate of cultivation, it probably wouldn’t be long before Lin Yi could charge directly to 7-Star.
"Hah..."
Lin Yi stretched lazily and glanced back at the clock on the wall.
"It’s already past eight in the morning?"
"Looks like I slept for quite a long time today!"
Lin Yi smiled, got up, and walked into the bathroom.
He washed his face to wake himself up.
He then relieved himself, feeling refreshed all over.
Finally, he opened the door to the Visualization Room and walked out.
In the early morning, Dragon Tiger Mountain seemed to be shrouded in mist.
The swirling mist was waist-high, so that he was half-hidden in the white fog and half-visible above it.
This reminded Lin Yi of a scene from "Journey to the West," which he had watched as a child.
When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Celestial Palace,
the Celestial Palace was filled with the same kind of swirling mist, except that effect had been created with dry ice.
But this, now, was real clouds and mist.
Walking through these clouds gave one the feeling of riding the mists and clouds.
Especially with Dragon Tiger Mountain’s grand halls all shrouded in the clouds and mist,
it truly felt like stepping into the Celestial Palace, magnificent and beautiful...
"Junior Martial Uncle Lin!"
A few little Daoists were passing by.
The moment they saw Lin Yi, they all quickly bowed in greeting.
Nowadays, Lin Yi’s seniority at Dragon Tiger Mountain was already very high.
Any little Daoist who saw him would respectfully address him as Junior Martial Uncle...
"Junior Martial Uncle Lin, Donor Tang has arrived. She is waiting in the front hall!"
"Oh? My sister is here?"
Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment, and the little Daoist quickly nodded.
Then Lin Yi followed him, heading straight for the front hall.
When he arrived, Tang Qinru was sitting there, drinking tea.
"Sis, what are you doing here?"
Lin Yi walked in with a smile.
Tang Qinru looked back at him, a peculiar look flashing in her eyes.
"It’s only been a few days, but you’ve changed quite a bit, haven’t you?"
"Huh? Have I changed?" Lin Yi said, a little puzzled.
Tang Qinru nodded. "You seem to have gotten a little taller, and your body is stronger!"
"Not bad. It seems Dragon Tiger Mountain really nurtures people well; it’s only been a few days and you’ve already turned out like this!"
Hearing her say that, Lin Yi smiled and scratched his head.
He sat down near Tang Qinru and said, "Sis, what about Grandpa? Did he not come?"
"No, Grandpa is busy with a lot of things and couldn’t make it today. I’ll take you back to school later!"
Tang Qinru’s words made Lin Yi feel a little disappointed.
He had been thinking about spending some good time with his grandfather.
Ever since coming to Dragon Tiger Mountain, becoming a disciple, and acknowledging his grandfather,
he had always wanted to spend more time with him.
But because he needed to cultivate, he never found the chance.
Although they had a brief meeting yesterday, it left Lin Yi feeling like it wasn’t enough.
Tang Qinru seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You can see him anytime."
"Have you gained anything these past few days on Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Lin Yi nodded. "Of course, I have. My realm has improved, and my Power of Heart and Mind has grown stronger!"
"As long as you’ve gained something. Go say your farewells to the Elder Celestial Master!"
"Okay!"
For Lin Yi,
this trip to Dragon Tiger Mountain, though it only lasted a few short days,
had been incredibly beneficial.
After bidding farewell to his master, he left with Tang Qinru.
As they reached the bottom of the mountain and drove away in a car,
the Elder Celestial Master stood at the summit, his hands clasped behind his back, watching the car recede into the distance.
Even from such a great distance, the car looked like a tiny ant.
"Master, why not keep Lin Yi here? Wouldn’t it be better for him to stay on Dragon Tiger Mountain than to go back to Xingwu University?" Zhong Yan said, scratching his head in confusion.
The Elder Celestial Master smiled. "For him, whether it’s Dragon Tiger Mountain or Xingwu University, it’s all part of his cultivation. It’s the same no matter where he is!"
"However, his growth rate is far faster than we anticipated!"
"I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!"
After the Elder Celestial Master finished speaking,
Zhong Yan said nothing, but as he watched the car disappear from sight,
he too fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he finally murmured, "Master, how about you let me go down the mountain to help my junior brother?"
The Elder Celestial Master glanced back at him.
"Hmph, so you couldn’t hide those little thoughts of yours after all, could you?"
Zhong Yan: "..."
