Chapter 47 First Visit to the South China Sea
Back in his courtyard, Lin Zhao recalled his parents' words. Instead of resting, he slowly circulated the Phoenix Vein Technique.

The spiritual energy she received from Chen Luoluo filled her entire body, giving her a feeling of advancing in rank.

A Foundation Establishment Great Perfection might be considered quite good among the younger generation of aristocratic families or the Three Sects and Four Sacred Lands.

However, among the new students at the South China Sea Academy, this level of cultivation is not enough to earn respect.

Therefore, Lin Zhao suppressed the urge to advance immediately. She wanted to take advantage of the Phoenix Vein Technique's evolution and the spiritual power given to her by her brother to break through to the Enlightenment stage in one fell swoop!

As the Phoenix Luck stolen by Chen Luoluo merged with his original Phoenix Luck, the blue spiritual energy that originally floated on Lin Zhao's body slowly turned into blue bit by bit.

The feeling wasn't that the spiritual energy was gradually increasing, but rather that the spiritual energy was nurturing the person, causing a transformative evolution.

Once all the spiritual energy turned blue, the transformation was completely over. It was already past midnight when Lin Zhao sensed it and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"It has evolved into a sixth-grade cultivation technique."

Fourth-grade cultivation techniques and sixth-grade cultivation techniques are not on the same level. At least before Lin Zhao reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he doesn't need to worry about his spiritual energy being quickly depleted during battle.

Lin Zhao was eagerly anticipating how far he could advance with the spiritual energy he absorbed under the blessing of a sixth-grade cultivation technique.

Looking at the dark sky outside, Lin Zhao slowly closed her beautiful eyes and gradually integrated the spiritual power she had obtained into her inner palace.

As the spiritual energy merged with her, the dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging around Lin Zhao's neck swayed slightly, and a golden light emerged from it, disappearing into Lin Zhao's fair skin.

The process of integration and transformation lasted for most of the day.

When noon arrived the next day, Lin Zhao, sitting on the futon, slowly opened his eyes, feeling the power within his body, and his pupils contracted.

They actually entered the first level of the consecration period directly?
It's important to understand that progressing from Foundation Establishment to the Enlightenment stage isn't a direct path to the first level. Instead, it involves a continuous process of refining one's inner palace and accumulating spiritual energy. Only after this refinement can one master the art of controlling the inner palace's radiance. Only after accumulating enough energy can one step into the first level of the Enlightenment stage.

Those with exceptional talent can reach the first level of the enlightenment stage in just a few months, while many others take decades.

The opponent she had fought before, Chen Luoluo, was in the early stages of enlightenment, not yet reaching the first level of enlightenment. Otherwise, even if Lin Zhao used all her skills, it would have been extremely difficult for her to win.

As for Lin Yuan, he couldn't be considered a true Enlightenment Stage cultivator at all; he was merely forced to reach that stage by external forces, which gave him some Enlightenment Stage techniques.

Having truly entered the first level of the Enlightenment stage, Lin Zhao felt that he could shatter his un-breakthrough self with a single punch.

"This is related to your excellent physical condition and the fact that your inner energy has been refined long ago," Grandma said in her mind.

"However, as your strength enters the Enlightenment stage, your physical fitness should also improve. I know a bit about the South China Sea Academy. The top ten in the freshman competition can choose a reward, and there is one that would suit you very well."

Lin Zhao smiled helplessly upon hearing this, "Master, you are too confident in me. My first level of the Enlightenment stage is at most average among the new students."

"Grandma knows this, so during the competition period, Grandma will train you very hard."

Hearing the fierce tone in her grandmother's voice, even someone as resilient as Lin Zhao shuddered, but she was also eager to try even more.

Although she has entered the South China Sea, she obtained this spot through the power of her aristocratic family. Countless people on the Tianhuang Continent are waiting to see this destined phoenix girl make a fool of herself.

If you want to earn the respect of others, improving your own abilities is the most effective way!
Opening the door, Lin Zhao waved to Su Bai standing in the doorway, "Goodbye, Xiao Bai."

Su Bai asked, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your family? They all want to see you off."

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave once I go. I’ve already said goodbye to everyone I needed to yesterday.” Lin Zhao sighed, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight, and turned to smile at the boy, “Little Bai, cultivate diligently. Maybe your family will find you in the future.”

With that, Lin Zhao drew her bone sword, stepped onto it, and flew away on it. Watching the girl's blue figure disappear, Su Bai lowered his eyes, as if saying to someone, "Little Bai has no family anymore."

Lin Zhao, who took him in and taught him to dress and eat, was his only knowledge of the world in his childhood.

……

To avoid attracting attention, Lin Zhao disguised himself and spent seven days and seven nights traveling, including taking a spirit boat, before finally arriving in Nancheng, the island opposite Nanhai Island where Nanhai Academy was located, the day before he was to report for duty.

After seven days and seven nights without rest, Lin Zhao was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open. She found a hotel nearby, booked a room, and went to rest.

At that moment, a rough voice came from the hotel lobby outside.

"The South China Sea spots that we fought tooth and nail for are something those aristocratic families can get with just a recommendation. And that's one thing, but what is Lin Zhao anyway? A piece of trash that Shen Shengzi threw away on his wedding day, and he gets into the South China Sea!" A burly man and his companion entered the hall, complaining to each other.

His companions consisted of three men and one woman. One of the boys said, "Brother Chen, please watch your words. She also got her spot through the Lin family's competition."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dele scoffed, "The Lin family, that declining aristocratic family, actually had a Foundation Establishment 11 level winner in the family competition. It's laughable! If you ask me, the Lin family should have been kicked out of the ranks of aristocratic families long ago! They're just making a fool of themselves!"

The woman disagreed: "Fairy Wangshu defeated Chen Luoluo, who had entered the Enlightenment stage, when she went up to the Cloud Peak again. Although what happened afterward was suppressed by the Wanjian Sect and no one knows, my fellow Daoists in the Wanjian Sect told me that although she was in the Foundation Establishment stage, her full power was no less than that of some Enlightenment stage cultivators who were still in the polishing stage."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dele's expression turned somewhat ferocious, because he was still in the polishing stage of the enlightenment period.

"That Chen Luoluo is nothing but a good-for-nothing who steals resources. Her cultivation is weak and superficial. What kind of achievement is it to defeat her? If that piece of trash fights me, I'll make her beg for mercy under my crotch in three moves."

Hearing such filthy words, apart from the boy and woman who spoke frowning, the other two men actually laughed in agreement.

The others in the lobby also stared at the South China Sea University admission badges on their bodies but dared not say a word.

Chen Dele touched the ugly scar on his face, a mark left from his battles for a spot in the South China Sea. Thinking of this, his jealousy of the aristocratic families intensified, yet he dared not offend those chosen ones.

"If that piece of trash had any shame, she should kneel down and beg for mercy from Shen Shengzi, and obediently become a man's plaything. What kind of Heavenly Phoenix Maiden is she? Bah! She can only act like a tyrant in a trash family like the Lin family."

"So, what kind of garbage dump did you crawl out of, you dead dog?"

The girl who walked down the steps had an ordinary face, but she had a cool and aloof feeling, like the moon. Her tired eyes were still bright and sharp as she looked at Chen Dele, who had just been spewing vulgarities.

Seeing this, the others sighed, thinking that this was yet another supporter of Fairy Wangshu, standing up for her.

After all, Lin Zhao has been fighting demons and protecting the righteous path for many years, and in the eyes of ordinary people and low-level cultivators on the Tianhuang Continent, he has an excellent image.

These days, Lin Zhao's reputation in Nancheng isn't very good, so many of Lin Zhao's supporters are arguing with them.

Unfortunately, those who were hostile to Lin Zhao were either freshmen about to enroll in South China Sea University or those who failed the initial selection but wanted to try their luck in the second round of the freshman competition. Their strength and background were all quite impressive, so most of the people who argued with her did not have a good ending.

I wonder what will become of this girl.

Chen Dele had said quite a few things these past few days and had encountered several rebuttals, but this was the first time he had met someone who dared to curse him like this. He immediately darkened his face and said, "You bitch, do you want to die?"

The girl who spoke up and cursed him was naturally Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao, who was extremely sleepy, initially didn't want to pay attention to him after hearing those words, but she couldn't stand it anymore after hearing that last sentence.

"Who do you think you are, insulting the Lin family?"
