Chapter 38 Spirit Gathering Pill

Seeing that the Netherworld Serpent was not gaining any advantage, Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold as he extended both palms, which were enveloped in silvery-white spiritual energy, with a faint gust of wind bursting from his palms.

The silvery-white spiritual energy enveloping his palms transformed into two enormous, shimmering silvery-white handprints with the force of the wind, hurtling towards Lin Zhao's location.

Silver light shone within the handprint, creating gusts of wind that swept up the sand and gravel on the ground, making them part of the shattered wind imprint. It attacked Lin Zhao with endless, fierce roars and tearing intent.

Fourth-grade spiritual skill, Shattering Wind Seal!

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhao instantly became alert. It was clear that Lin Yuan had realized that those insidious methods were ineffective against him and was now planning a real fight.

If he were facing Lin Ya and Lin Long, Lin Yuan would naturally have a whole host of vicious methods, but against Lin Zhao, Lin Yuan felt there was no need for that.

After all, Lin Zhao's spiritual cultivation level was still a notch below that of Lin Long, Lin Ya, and the others.

In his eyes, Lin Zhao's victory over Lin Ya was merely due to Lin Ya's incompetence, not because Lin Zhao's strength was comparable to his.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan wanted to defeat this young master of the Lin family head-on, to show her what a true prodigy really looked like.

Lin Zhao saw through Lin Yuan's little schemes perfectly, and she was happy to give him a piece of her mind!

Lin Zhao unleashed a punch, his fists enveloped in spiritual energy and flames.

It was impossible to tell how much force was used in this punch; Lin Zhao hadn't even charged up beforehand. It landed lightly in the air as if he were just playing around.

However, an explosion suddenly came from the air where the punch landed, and inch by inch, emerald green flames exploded horizontally along the point where the punch landed, directly colliding with the Shattered Wind Seal.

The Shattered Wind Seal was clearly delayed for a moment, but it seemed to have withstood the power of the explosion. Its silver radiance only dimmed slightly, and it was still heading towards Lin Zhao.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan scoffed, "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, you're utterly helpless."

But the next moment, amidst the gasps of the crowd, his face turned completely dark.

Because that enormous silver palm actually transformed into a sky full of silver light and exploded along with the emerald green flames!

That wasn't all; the explosive force came horizontally, heading straight for his face.

Lin Yuan knew all too well what it felt like to be hit by an attack carrying the power of his own killing move. He dared not let the explosive force get close, so he quickly formed a shield with his spiritual energy. In the midst of an explosion, at the cost of his right arm being shattered, he managed to intercept the attack.

"Is this a sixth-grade spiritual skill?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at the injury on his hand.

Just as he asked the question, his expression changed, and a small explosion sound was heard from inside his body!

The power of that spiritual technique actually pierced through his body?!

The seventh-grade spiritual skill, Explosive Fist, is a punch that explodes with every strike. When mastered, it can destroy thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye.

These two simple words represent a seventh-grade level, demonstrating the extraordinary nature of this spiritual skill.

Lin Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took off his outer clothes, revealing the soft armor he was wearing, and looked at Lin Zhao with a fierce expression.

He suffered considerable losses in both encounters, which was a huge loss of face for the arrogant Lin Yuan.

He looked at his blood-soaked right hand, steadied the explosive sounds inside his body, and swallowed the metallic taste in his throat: "Lin Zhao, don't think you've won! My preparations for this competition are far more extensive than you all imagined!"

After saying that, he flipped his left hand over, revealing a bright red pill lying horizontally in his palm. Without thinking, he threw it into his mouth.

The next moment, his aura rose higher and higher, and to everyone's astonishment, he actually broke through to the Enlightenment stage!

Lin Zhao was also taken aback. She could guarantee that she was invincible within the Foundation Establishment stage, but the only opponent she had encountered in the Enlightenment stage was the Demon Soul from before.

But Lin Yuan wasn't like the Demon Soul, who was countered by his own sword technique attributes.

"It's going to be a tough battle," Lin Zhao murmured with emotion.

Although he had never fought a cultivator in the Enlightenment stage, Lin Zhao had long wanted to give it a try!

"A tough battle?" Feeling the power coursing through his body, Lin Yuan's eyes regained their previous arrogance. "With your Foundation Establishment Great Perfection strength, you think you can fight me, who is currently at the Enlightenment stage? Aren't you overestimating yourself?!"

Lin Zhao smiled: "You're exaggerating your abilities. If you were truly at the Enlightenment stage, I might have to fight you indirectly. But have you really advanced to the Enlightenment stage? Or did you just temporarily reach this stage with the help of pills?"

After sensing Lin Yuan's fluctuations, Yao Yun's beautiful eyes flashed with concern for Lin Zhao, and she said, "The feeling of that pill seems to be that of a Spirit Gathering Pill that helps a Foundation Establishment cultivator temporarily break through to the Enlightenment stage? But not only is there a time limit, but forcibly raising one's spiritual power to the Enlightenment stage will also damage the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

The Lin family disciples around, especially Lin Ya and Lin Long, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yao Yun's words.

If Lin Yuan were to actually advance to the Enlightenment stage on the platform, that would be truly too abnormal.

After Lin Zhao and her daughter exposed him, Lin Yuan felt the admiring gazes of the other disciples vanish instantly, and he became somewhat embarrassed and angry: "That's enough to deal with you!"

Having said that, he drew his sword. "Lin Zhao, you've driven me to this point, it's time for you to die!"

His body shone with a sudden burst of silver light, and then he swung his silver sword, which transformed into countless sword shadows. The sword shadows flashed with a faint light and then solidified completely.

In other words, he used one sword to create hundreds of swords!

“Spiritual energy materializing.” Lin Zhao frowned.

Releasing spiritual energy is a characteristic of the Qi Refining stage, taking form of spiritual energy is a characteristic of the Foundation Establishment stage, and materializing spiritual energy is an ability possessed only by cultivators in the Enlightenment stage.

Clearly, although Lin Yuan's cultivation at the Enlightenment stage was only temporary, he now possessed the power of an Enlightenment stage cultivator.

"The Enlightenment Stage is not the same realm as the Foundation Establishment Stage!" Lin Yuan looked at his work with satisfaction and laughed loudly. "Lin Zhao, how are you going to compete with me?"

"A sixth-grade spiritual skill, sword kills three thousand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver swords suddenly rang out in unison, and a killing intent swept out from the sound, the spiritual winds of heaven and earth that were stirred up almost cutting Lin Zhao so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

With the foundation of a sixth-grade spiritual skill built upon the cultivation of the Enlightenment stage, it finally began to reveal some of its power.

Lin Zhao frowned, swung his bone sword, and his gaze sharpened: "Thousand Spirit Slash!"

Hundreds of silver-white longswords swarmed towards Lin Zhao, surrounding her in the middle. The surging spiritual energy emanating from each longsword was enough to directly crush a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, Lin Zhao would need to unleash a sword strike to defeat a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. If she were surrounded and attacked by hundreds or thousands of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would take her considerable effort.

However, for cultivators in the Enlightenment stage, a single move is enough to take down hundreds or even thousands of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This also shows just how big the difference is between the enlightenment stage and the foundation building stage.

The Thousand Spirit Slash clashed and wore down the silver sword array surrounding her until it finally vanished completely.

This was also the first time the two had faced off, and Lin Zhao showed signs of weakness.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately burst into laughter: "Lin Zhao, is this all you've got? It's not too late to kneel down and beg me to let you go!"
