Chapter 363 Battle, Breakthrough

After Jin Ya finally managed to get up, she heard the news and exchanged a glance with Ming Gui. This time, both of them were filled with despair.

Jin Ya asked weakly, "Lin Zhao, am I the Golden Crow or are you the Golden Crow? You're being too abnormal."

Lin Zhao shrugged: "Come on, let's continue."

Jin Ya wasn't stupid this time and protested, "With your spiritual foundation, plus your freakish skills and physical strength, how could we possibly defeat you?"

Lin Zhao asked, "So what do you want?"

Jin Ya said, "You can only use 60% of your strength, and you cannot use any spiritual techniques!"

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and then indicated that she could.

Jin Ya was overjoyed. She found her weapon and swung it at Lin Zhao. The light was an attack that Lin Zhao was familiar with.

—The Golden Crow Scorches the Sun.

In the past, when Jin Ya used this spiritual skill, it would have posed a great threat to him. However, for Lin Zhao now, even with 40% of his strength reduced, he is still not afraid of this strike.

Since we can't use spiritual techniques, let's use the purest swordsmanship.

Lin Zhao's basic sword skills were the best in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect back then. When she could no longer improve her cultivation, she devoted more time to training in the mortal realm, refining her sword skills, and honing her basic skills.

Even the most basic sword techniques, supported by a vast spiritual energy foundation, reveal a different kind of brilliance.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, drawing brilliant arcs of light.

Each of these arcs contains only the most basic sword energy, so the attack power of a single arc is not strong. But what if there are tens of thousands of arcs at the same time?

Jin Ya had anticipated that Lin Zhao's movements and speed would be very fast, but she hadn't expected them to be this fast.

When Minggui saw the overwhelming, densely packed, dazzling arcs of light pressing down on him, he felt his scalp tingle and wanted to turn around and run away.

But Jin Ya was clearly more eager to run than he was, and seeing Ming Gui's reaction, she quickly spoke up: "If you dare to run, I'll use the contract to make you my human shield!"

Minggui: "..." I really regret choosing this little witch.

He had no choice but to turn back, transform into his original form, and let out a dragon roar at the sword energy that Lin Zhao was attacking.

Besides its ability to exert mental pressure, the Dragon Roar also emits considerable sonic attack power. Ming Gui simply lacks the relevant sonic techniques to maximize the power of the Dragon Roar, but that doesn't mean his combat strength is weak when he lets out a Dragon Roar in his original form.

No matter how powerful Lin Zhao's sword energy was, in essence it was just a simple sword strike, without any mystery. Under Ming Gui's dragon roar, most of it was shattered in an instant.

The other half, too, collapsed in a devastating manner under the scorching sun of the golden buds.

Before Jin Ya could even get excited at the sight, Lin Zhao's Heavenly Phoenix Wings opened, and in the next moment, she appeared behind Jin Ya and threw her directly to the ground.

She swung her arm with considerable force.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the golden bud fell vertically, crashing into the mountain and creating a large crater.

After Lin Zhao finished dealing with Jin Ya, she looked at Ming Gui, who had a cautious expression on his face.

Jin Ya's spiritual foundation was ultimately insufficient. When fighting Lin Zhao, she never thought of using her spiritual techniques. After all, the Golden Crow Clan's spiritual techniques were too domineering, and if she used them, she might not be able to defeat Lin Zhao but would also get injured herself.

Minggui's previous signs of defeat were purely because he didn't want to fight.

Lin Zhao said, "I have sealed 40% of my strength, so I should be evenly matched with you, not to mention that I haven't used any spiritual techniques yet. You should make your move."

Ming Gui gave a wry smile, his body trembled, and his golden eyes flashed with a cold light as he lunged at Lin Zhao.

The oppressive force of the dragon race came crashing down on her. Lin Zhao held the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword in her hand. In the next instant, she moved and the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword disappeared. She chose to fight Ming Gui with her bare hands.

The next moment, it was a brutal, hand-to-hand combat. That's right, Lin Zhao was planning to test his body's resilience.

After all, while the enhanced physical body was incredibly powerful, Lin Zhao hadn't yet figured out its combat limits.

……

When Jin Ya was able to climb out of the crater she had created, she saw Ming Gui sitting next to it with a bruised and swollen face, looking like he had suffered a great deal of bitterness and resentment.

If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing, Jin Ya almost wouldn't have recognized that the small-eyed man was the previously handsome and dashing Ming Gui.

Thinking of something, Jin Ya said with a hint of schadenfreude, "You got beaten up like this?"

Having spent so much time with Jin Ya, Ming Gui knew her temperament. After being threatened by Jin Ya, he didn't hesitate to mock her back: "Weren't you also knocked down directly?"

In other words, we're evenly matched.

Jin Ya chuckled: "It's okay for me. I have the Golden Crow Divine Fire. Even if my bones and tendons are broken, it's no big deal. You're different."

Minggui rubbed his swollen face, really not wanting to talk to her.

Jin Ya lost interest in teasing him and, after looking around, asked, "Where did Lin Zhao go?"

Ming Gui sighed, "I gained some insights during the battle, and with enough spiritual energy reserves, I'm probably about to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage."

Jin Ya: "..."

"That might be some time. If she doesn't appear in the Demon Realm for a long time, won't the demons there become suspicious?"

Ming Gui said, "She gave me the authority to enter and exit the secret realm at will."

Jin Ya was jealous: "Why won't you give me this permission?"

Minggui said, "I'll probably give it to you when you grow up."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ya became anxious: "Grown up? Don't let my current small size fool you, I might actually be older than you!"

Minggui: "Hehe."

……

Inside the secret realm, within the cave, Lin Zhao completed a full cycle of the Phoenix Meridian Technique. He slowly exhaled, and several treasures emitting a faint glow appeared before him.

These treasures are all rich in spiritual energy.

Clearly, these spiritual creatures cannot grow in the Demon Realm; they were all stolen from the cultivation world by the Demon Realm.

However, unexpectedly, this situation benefited Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao paused briefly, then without hesitation released his divine soul to begin devouring the spiritual energy within these spiritual objects, while his dantian also continuously absorbed it.

Soon, Lin Zhao reached a strange state where his spiritual cultivation was slightly higher than his physical cultivation.

It should be noted that, generally speaking, the cultivation level of a cultivator who has reached the Golden Core stage is similar to or equal to that of their physical body. The strength of their soul or physical body simply requires further training.

However, Lin Zhao's current situation is different.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Once the cultivation of the soul and the cultivation of the physical body reach the Golden Core stage, they can complement each other, which is why they remain roughly the same.

Lin Zhao's physical body was already strong enough, but his soul was even stronger. Therefore, as he continuously absorbed spiritual energy, the pure spiritual energy that his physical body could directly use was fed back to his body by his soul. Lin Zhao could feel his nascent soul gradually becoming stronger.

However, what surprised her most was that the strengthening of this foundation did not stop even after breaking through three million Dao Spirit Flows.
