Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 230 Meditation
As soon as Cai Yue'er finished speaking, everyone present showed different reactions, but Lin Xingyu's expression remained quite calm.

We could go in and check out the Golden Tree; there shouldn't be any major moves at this point.

The four of them, Zhou Hanyou and her sister, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, were the most excited. As original inner court students, the four of them had been inside the Golden Tree and had meditated there.

They had gained considerable benefits from it, but even they only received one chance to meditate when they entered the inner courtyard.

Among the remaining people, Yuanen Yehui, Wu Siduo, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin looked at Cai Yue'er with some confusion. They didn't know what the specific function of this reward was or what benefits it would bring, but judging from the expressions of Ye Xinglan and the others, it should be pretty good, right?
Le Zhengyu's face was expressionless, but his eyes still revealed a strong desire. The Angel Family naturally had enough information about the Golden Tree. This kind of place full of light was extremely beneficial to his Angel Martial Soul!
It was also the place he most wanted to go to when he came to Shrek Academy!
As for Na'er, she stood there quite indifferently. As Yun Ming's most beloved little disciple and only disciple, she could go as many times as she wanted, as long as it wasn't too outrageous...

Gu Yue remained expressionless until the end.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Cai Yue'er secretly considered the nominees for the Shrek Seven Devils.

During their trip to the Star Luo Continent, especially the Star Luo Continent Youth Soul Master Competition, they completely crushed the Monster Academy without any resistance. In the following year, they traveled throughout the entire Star Luo Continent without a single defeat.

This result can be described as a perfect answer sheet.

In this situation, what was originally just a preliminary nomination could very well become a real spot.

The problem now is that there are too many people in this group; the Shrek Seven Devils only have seven spots.

Gu Yue has already become a disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu and has become quite close to the Spirit Pagoda. Given the relationship between the academy and the Spirit Pagoda, she will probably go to the Spirit Pagoda and won't stay there.

Even if Cai Yue'er admired her talent, she could only sigh helplessly at this point.

Some things, once missed, are missed forever; there's no chance to get them back...

Na'er's identity is even more special; it remains to be seen how Yun Ming will arrange things next...

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi grew up in the academy, and their martial souls were quite good. They were two people who were chosen early on.

Although Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er are quite good, and even have a martial soul fusion skill, they are ultimately a little lacking.

Lin Xingyu is outstanding in every aspect. Seeing him, Cai Yue'er even felt a sense of seeing a young Yun Ming, equally gifted and unparalleled...

As for his connection with the Body Sect, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion didn't see much of a problem. Although the Body Sect was once a first-class power on the continent, it had ultimately fallen. If he stayed, the Body Sect might eventually become a part of Shrek Academy.

As for Lin Xingyu refusing to stay at the academy? Cai Yue'er had never considered that possibility.

Among the remaining group, Yue Zhengyu, as the heir of the Southern Angels family and the future controller of the Southern Legion, also performed quite well. Although he was a bit unremarkable compared to the others, staying would still bring him many benefits.

Yuan Enhui and Wu Siduo are powerful enough with just their twin martial souls, not to mention that they each have their own special skills.

Xu Xiaoyan's absolute strength is enough to form a small team on its own, no matter where she is placed.

Tang Wulin's bloodline is now ridiculously strong, and he is also the direct grand-disciple of that old guy Zhuoshi, inheriting all of his knowledge. He is one of the academy's own people.

In short, everyone in the group was quite outstanding. Cai Yue'er was in a bit of a dilemma, but after a moment, she put the problem out of her mind.

Anyway, I'm not in charge of the college now, so let others make things difficult for me.

"Get ready, get into the right mindset, and go to the Sea God Pavilion tomorrow to collect your rewards." Cai Yue'er said this last sentence before turning and leaving.

Wu Changkong stepped forward and explained, "The meditation opportunity inside the Golden Tree is extremely rare. The meditation room there is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Shrek Academy, and it may even be the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire continent."

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, the few people present who were initially somewhat confused showed expressions of surprise and delight, not expecting that this was the kind of place that would be opened to them.

It's just a pity that there's only one chance for meditation.

“But this is only the most insignificant part of the entire meditation room,” Wu Changkong continued. “Once you enter, just meditate naturally. Each meditation room was built by our predecessors with countless efforts and the collection of countless rare and precious materials.”

"Furthermore, it is the core area of ​​the entire Golden Tree, where it is not only easier to enter a state of deep meditation, but also naturally easier to sense the corresponding laws."

"Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion have a limited number of times they can enter it."

After hearing Wu Changkong's explanation, everyone present basically understood the value of this reward.

I can't help but look forward to what I'll gain from this next meditation session.

……

Poseidon Pavilion.

The group followed Wu Changkong to the Sea God Pavilion.

Before you stands a towering tree, its canopy reaching high into the sky, blocking out the sun. Beneath the tree is a huge treehouse, entirely carved from the wood.

"Such rich spiritual energy! The concentration of spiritual energy here is probably close to liquid!"

This was indeed the place with the most abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth that Lin Xingyu had ever seen. The local sects, in terms of spiritual energy alone, were far less abundant than this place.

The place that Zhenhua finally created using various soul-guiding arrays, in terms of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, was indeed comparable to this place in a small area. However, the rich life energy here was something that Zhenhua could never create.

As the group entered the Sea God Pavilion, a golden light shone, and the familiar spatial teleportation fluctuations returned once again.

Dark and gold colors alternated, and when the feeling of solid ground returned, they found themselves in a space that was hundreds of meters long and wide.

On both sides of the hall, there are several passageways leading into the distance. There are no doors or windows around, but the air is quite fresh.

On the side of the hall, statues stand tall, depicting the Golden Iron Triangle and the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

Upon entering the Golden Tree, the life force permeating the air became even more intense, prompting Lin Xingyu to begin sensing the surrounding life energy. It was a sensation completely different from the "Surge of Life" divine power he possessed. The strongest feeling associated with his own "Surge of Life" was a pure, unchanging life force.

The vitality he was feeling was intense, but it also gave him a sense of vastness, like the entire universe.

Lin Xingyu was not surprised at all. The Golden Ancient Tree was the core of the Douluo Plane and its origin. Even small worlds like Dragon Valley had their own cores.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is extremely concentrated. Normal soul masters will encounter much less of a bottleneck when cultivating here. Even an ordinary person who comes here will have their lifespan extended by at least ten years, or even more, under the nourishment of this environment.

"Le Zhengyu, go to the first passageway on the right. There's a room about ten meters away. It's the perfect place for you."

"Wu Siduo, the first passage on the left, the sixth room after thirty meters, is the most suitable place for you to cultivate."

"Ye Xinglan, you go..."

As a deep, magnetic male voice rang out, everyone present was called out one by one and each was taken to a room.

Those whose names were called walked out one by one and went to their respective positions.

Lin Xingyu's location is the eighth door, about 88 meters forward from the eighth passage.

The wooden door was also made of the wood of the golden tree. The golden wooden door was slightly ajar, and Lin Xingyu could walk in with just a gentle push without any effort.

The platinum aura that rushed towards him was full of sharpness, and he even felt that his skin was about to be cut open, as if it would cut him to pieces in an instant.

This room is primarily composed of pure gold elements, supplemented by bright flames.

In a room of only about ten square meters, apart from a futon in the very center, there were all sorts of weapons, metal objects, and bones.

He casually picked up a longsword that exuded a sense of history, and as he enveloped it with his spiritual power, Lin Xingyu felt a bone-chilling cold.

'Every weapon here was owned by someone at least a Title Douluo, and every metal here is at least capable of being directly forged with soul energy! As for these bones, although they aren't soul bones, they are all at least 50,000-year-old beast king level, and all of them are primarily metal-based.'

'This is from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, this is from the Golden Blood Wolf, this is from the Purple-Striped Golden Horned Python, this is…'

After a careful examination, Lin Xingyu identified the origin of these items. The bones were the most essential parts of the corresponding soul beasts, filling the room to the brim.

After carefully examining the room's attributes, Lin Xingyu realized that while they weren't a perfect match for him, he wasn't disappointed.

Even though the Golden Tree has reached an unprecedented size, the meditation rooms created below it are ultimately limited.

However, with over a hundred rooms, it's already quite impressive that it can basically cover all the needs of all Soul Masters.

In addition, to be honest, Lin Xingyu himself has a lot of attributes, which are a bit mixed. It's already pretty good that his main attribute is satisfactory.

He quickly stepped forward and sat down cross-legged on a futon.

Instantly, a rich metallic aura, along with the light and life force emanating from the golden tree, entered his body.

In that instant, his entire body transformed into a crystal-clear gold, as the vital energy of heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body.

Without even needing to do much, his soul power technique activated on its own, and he instantly entered a meditative state.

As the elements spontaneously merged into his body, his spirit instantly became extremely excited, and all sorts of wild ideas surfaced in his mind, almost instantly entering a state of deep meditation.

He didn't try to summarize or reflect on his path here; he simply silently opened his "higher-dimensional vision" and tried his best to control his body and soul.

He made himself like a black hole, recklessly devouring every elemental point of light that approached.

With his "high-dimensional vision," he has a very clear perception of the laws of heaven and earth. He can even create his own combat techniques when he is a Great Soul Master. If he needs to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, such a meditation room is of little use to him.

Lin Xingyu let the sudden insights that popped into his mind surface, and then forgot about them. He didn't try to observe the state of the Golden Ancient Tree. Even if he found out what state it was in, it wouldn't help him much. With his current abilities, there was nothing he could do.

He doesn't need to think about what his path should be. He might have been confused in the past, but now he just wants to absorb some energy as soon as possible and complete this stage of his cultivation. He'll worry about the future later!
Lin Xingyu didn't know how much time had passed, but with his soul power continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it didn't take long for him to reach level sixty-nine.

Then they began their relentless assault on level 70.

"what?"

Yun Ming's expression shifted, and he looked toward the direction of the eighth passage.

"Brother Yun, what's wrong?"

Wearing a light green dress, with her dark green hair flowing down her back, and exuding a pure aura of life, Yali asked with some curiosity.

Yun Ming replied casually, "It's nothing. I didn't expect to find someone who actively absorbs energy but doesn't seem to value such profound insights."

Yali raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't you mention that when you brought them here?"

Yun Ming carefully sensed it and said, "Of course I introduced it. There's no fool who has this level of cultivation at this age. Or do you believe that someone who has reached level 68, no, level 69 at the age of sixteen is someone who cultivated it on their own? Are you a fool who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not?"

Ya Li shook her head. Someone who has this level of cultivation at this age must work incredibly hard every day, let alone be unable to distinguish right from wrong.

After a moment, Yun Ming withdrew his senses and said, "Perhaps he is a true genius? Maybe someone whose understanding of the realm far surpasses my own cultivation level?"

"That's possible..."

After finishing his sentence, Yun Ming stopped caring about the topic. He had seen far too many geniuses, but none of them were as talented as him!
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xingyu slowly opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented lightness in his body, with faint elemental light flowing between his breaths.
