One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 743 The Great Sage's Intentions

His skillful moves were perfectly timed, and his continuous attacks left no openings for the enemy to exploit.

His ruthless tactics, which could intimidate the entire audience with just a slight change in his moves, were truly admirable.

Although he was instantly killed in the battle with the Great Sage, Lin Yi gained a lot of insights.

At that moment, he realized that the path he had chosen might not necessarily be the right one.

It all boils down to those four words: The greatest truths are the simplest.

Numerous skills are utterly ineffective in the face of absolute power.

No matter how much information gap exists between you and your enemy, you cannot gain any advantage in the face of absolute strength.

Recalling the absolute control that the Great Sage displayed when he fought against him, Lin Yi secretly made up his mind.

In future battles, try to win using skill rather than technique.

He also wanted to be like the Great Sage.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Yi in a daze, Sun Dachuan was extremely worried.

The way my brother looks is like he's gone mad.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. We were just reviewing the battle we just fought, and I also have some good news to tell you."

Seeing that Lin Yi's eyes had regained their liveliness, Nangong Ling and the other two were finally completely relieved.

"Brother Yi, what's the good news? Are you planning to give me the SSS-level selectable gem you got? No way, I'd feel embarrassed."

Feng Sanyou's grinning face was incredibly smug, making Nangong Ling and Sun Dachuan grit their teeth and wish they could punch him a couple of times.

It helped you through such a difficult dungeon, added two brilliant chapters to your professional career, and made you climb the dungeon completion leaderboard. What more could you ask for?

"Brother, ignore this idiot. I think he's lost his mind. I'll drag him out and give him a couple of whacks, maybe that will fix him."

As Sun Dachuan spoke, he grabbed the clothes of the chubby boy Feng Sanyou.

"I think Da Chuan is right. Senior, go and help out too."

It wasn't until the chubby boy, Feng Sanyou, begged for mercy and was embarrassed that Lin Yi stepped in to help him out of the predicament.

"We'll talk about the pearl later, no rush. There will be a time when we can share it with you. But the good news is that we have another way to improve our strength."

"Didn't I tell you that I got beaten up in my own territory? I wasn't exaggerating. The one who beat me up was my own martial spirit."

Martial Soul?!
Beat Lin Yi up?!

The trio of people from Great Xia could understand every word Lin Yi said.

But when you put these words together, they seem so unfamiliar and so difficult to understand.

Isn't a martial spirit a way to increase combat power? How can it attack its master?

Just as Lin Yi was about to speak about his battle with the Great Sage, the Great Sage's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Kid, don't be in such a hurry."

"Letting them bring their martial spirits into the inner arena to fight is a dangerous move. If you actually say so, you'll be indirectly harming them."

Lin Yi didn't understand.

When sparring with a martial spirit, neither the physical body nor the martial spirit suffers any damage. If both sides are giving their all, wouldn't that be an immense benefit for the martial spirit owner?

Fighting in real combat accumulates invaluable experience that can be life-saving in crucial moments.

For ordinary professionals, practical experience is just as important as the diversity of skills.

"Do you really think anyone can fight their own martial spirit in the inner arena?" "What is the inner arena? It's the place where your divine consciousness is formed. You can cultivate skills there because your consciousness is completely concentrated there. Fighting me is fine. After I defeated you, I didn't think about invading your consciousness to take over your body. But do you want to try fighting with a different martial spirit?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi finally understood.

In the inner field, one is indeed immune to damage.

However, once one side defeats the other, the victor has the opportunity to access the original divine consciousness of the defeated side.

"In the inner arena, the martial spirit can unleash its peak power. The martial spirits obtained from the old man, the Human Emperor, are all formidable. Which one of them wasn't a freakishly strong guy in his lifetime?"

"Your friends and other professionals were able to subdue these martial spirits for their own use not because of their strength, but because those guys who were abnormally powerful in life are now just a wisp of their souls."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately realized what was going on.

Among the many professionals on Earth, how many of their martial souls truly acknowledge their masters?

They were confined to the inverted Sky Tower by the Old Emperor as a means of advancement for Blue Star professionals; how could they not harbor resentment?

If the Great Sage hadn't reminded them, and Nangong Ling and the other two had followed Lin Yi's advice and placed their martial spirits inside the arena, wouldn't they have been killed, their divine senses taken over, and their bodies invaded?

At this moment, Lin Yi was suddenly moved.

Having a thorough understanding of the mythology of the Great Xia Dynasty, he knew exactly what role the Great Sage played in the mythology.

The unruly monkey god, even after being suppressed by the Buddha for five hundred years, never relinquished his pride.

Now, however, it is willing to become Lin Yi's subordinate.

How could Lin Yi not be moved by this sentiment?

"The good news is good news, but it doesn't apply to you right now. It means you'll be fighting your own martial spirits in the inner arena, and it will be a real, life-or-death battle. However, in the inner arena, your martial spirits will gain the power of their prime. If you are unfortunately defeated, your martial spirit will have the opportunity to directly destroy your original divine consciousness and invade your body."

This is truly a refreshing perspective.

Lin Yi's words were quite tempting.

No one can resist real combat without getting hurt.

That's the best way to increase combat experience.

However, the risks involved were too great for Nangong Ling and his companions to gamble on.

After all, he had acquired a decent martial spirit by following Lin Yi back then.

Lingyue stopped talking at this point.

After a long day of travel, it was getting late.

Lin Yi and his group arrived at the city where the current Jiangyuan dungeon was located, the capital of the Dianya Kingdom.

As a celebrity on Earth, Lin Yi has to keep a low profile when he goes out.

With his influence, if his true identity were discovered, he would be so warmly received that Lin Yi would be unable to move.

Therefore, after arriving at the destination, Lin Yi used his Seventy-Two Transformations skill to change his appearance.

A gentle evening breeze swept across the waves, bringing with it a faint salty tang.

Having not been to a coastal city for a long time, Lin Yi suddenly felt nostalgic for the days before his transmigration, when he worked like a beast of burden and enjoyed holidays.

Back then, being able to soak your feet at the beach was a luxury.

Now, I'm rich!
The lottery fees alone would amount to billions of Daxia coins. Now that we're in such a beautiful city, wouldn't we want to stay in a sea-view apartment?
This sea-view room is not the same concept as the sea-view room before the time travel.

It is a magnificent landscape that truly sits on the seabed, like Atlantis reborn.

"Damn, Yi-ge, it's so great to work with you! I've seen this hotel all over social media, but the price is just too much to ask for."
