Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"Wait! Don't rush—let's warm up first, you bring up the rear!"

Lin Quan reached out to stop him, his tone crisp and decisive.

Li Hanyi paused upon hearing this, her gaze sweeping over Lin Quan's composed face, then over Qiao Jingjing's tense jaw, Wang Yuyan's sword-wielding hand, and Zhu Zhuqing's poised waistline, before she whispered, "Come back alive."

Lin Quan nodded, then turned his head and added, "Jingjing, you should hold back for now."

With her level four awakened mental strength, she could wear down this old whale without anyone else intervening.

"Yu Yan! Zhu Qing! Xue Ru! Let's play with it... for a while!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Quan shot out like an arrow!

Swish—swish—swish—

Wang Yuyan drew her icy sword, Zhu Zhuqing's black mist exploded, and Chen Xueru lightly touched the waves with her toes as the three figures leaped into the center of the storm!

Boom—!

In an instant, lightning exploded around Lin Quan, and purple lightning coiled around his arms like a python, tearing the air apart with a crackling sound.

The soul rings under Wang Yuyan's feet swirled, and the Frost Sword instantly grew dozens of meters in length. Wherever the sword pointed, the cold air condensed into tangible frost mist, rolling towards the tsunami.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure flickered, transforming into seven ghostly shadows, so fast that even the afterimages had not yet dissipated;

With a slight thought, Chen Xueru's true form suddenly transformed—two split into four, four into eight, and in the blink of an eye, seven clones surrounded the giant whale like ghosts!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of soul skills tearing through the air rang out one after another, causing the sea surface to crack inch by inch!

With a single strike of her sword, Wang Yuyan cleaved the surging wave in two, and the chilling sword energy swept over it, instantly freezing the wave into a thousand-foot-high ice cliff.

Even its enormous body was frozen stiff in mid-air, its scales covered in frost, its huge mouth frozen, and even its breath turned into white mist that lingered at its lips.

Click—click-click—

A few breaths later, the sound of ice breaking apart rose and fell, and spiderweb-like cracks covered the entire iceberg.

Before the giant whale could break free, Lin Quan's Thunder Fist, Zhu Zhuqing's Tear Claw, and Chen Xueru's Mirror Image Combo came raining down like a storm!

Blood splattered, and deep wounds, revealing bone, bloomed layer upon layer on its thick skin;

It had just shattered its icy shell and roared in fury when Wang Yuyan's second sword strike arrived—

The sword light cascaded down like a waterfall, once again cleaving it back, its entire left fin and half of its head were sealed tightly by a layer of dark blue ice!

A soul beast with a cultivation level approaching 200,000 years was unable to even muster the slightest struggle against the combined attack of Lin Quan and the others. This was all without Li Hanyi and Qiao Jingjing making a single move.

They were completely suppressed from beginning to end, even though Lin Quan and the others deliberately avoided vital points with every attack.

But after such a series of heavy blows and repeated tearing, the nearly 100-meter-long narwhal was already covered in wounds.

The deep ravine cleaved by the sword blade, the slit torn by the claws, the black scabbard formed after the thunder exploded...

The giant whale, already critically injured, gradually lost its breath as time went on.

Seeing that Wang Yuyan and the others continued their relentless attacks,

Lin Quan finally shouted, "Stop! That's enough!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Wang Yuyan, Zhu Zhuqing, and the third woman all stopped their attacks, their palm winds suddenly subsided, and their sword light vanished.

Everyone stopped, and Lin Quan's gaze shifted slightly, landing directly on Li Hanyi: "Hanyi..."

Swah——

A white shadow tore through the air, and Li Hanyi, as cold as frost, instantly stood before the giant whale's forehead.

Before her afterimage had even faded, she was already firmly planted three feet between the giant whale's eyebrows.

puff!

With a slight thought, the Iron Horse and Ice River appeared instantly and were grasped in the palm of his hand.

In a flash, the cold blade pierced the air, a streak of silver light shooting out—

Silent and unstoppable, it pierced through the center of the skull of the unicorn whale and emerged from its brain!

"Ugh—!"

A mournful cry, neither dragon nor elephant, neither weeping nor roaring, suddenly burst from its throat, shaking the sea and causing the clouds to hang low.

In the instant life was extinguished, wisps of scarlet mist rose from the corpse, swirling, gathering, and solidifying...

Ultimately, it transformed into a soul ring surging with blood flames, hanging above the whale corpse and burning fiercely.

Upon closer inspection, two golden patterns are wrapped around its body—

The first beam was as bright as the rising sun, while the second beam was slightly hazy, its edges trembling as if it had not yet fully stabilized.

With the spirit rings taking shape, Li Hanyi sat cross-legged without hesitation, gently pressing her palms against the whale corpse's back.

Swish!

The blood ring hummed and trembled, suddenly transforming into a crimson streak that hurtled straight down towards her crown!

The moment the spirit ring entered her body, her brows furrowed sharply—

A force as savage as a raging tide and as violent as magma surged into the limbs and bones, frantically pouring into the meridians and acupoints!

In less than a moment, the true energy within her body began to circulate spontaneously, and the "Eternal Youth Scripture" mental technique quietly began to operate, like an ice-covered snow-capped mountain suppressing a raging storm.

Using this fierce force, she struck the hidden meridians and broke through the blockage—

Within a few dozen breaths, they actually managed to carve out a hidden cave!

After the nearly two hundred thousand years of soul rings were completely melted down, she actually broke through nine hidden acupoints in succession!

The cultivation level of the Great Freedom Realm was like the thawing of a spring river, rising steadily and becoming so profound that it was breathtaking.

At this moment, Lin Quan and the others who had been protecting him all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had all witnessed Li Hanyi's furrowed brow and the violent aura surging around her just now.

Although it was only a few dozen breaths, her breathing returned to normal.

Before the soul rings were fully fused, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Swah——

Lin Quan flashed and landed in front of her, his gaze sweeping over her from head to toe, his fingertips lightly probing her wrist pulse to confirm that her breathing was smooth and her meridians unobstructed.

The heavy weight in my heart finally lifted.

"As expected of a spirit ring that is nearly 200,000 years old, the energy within it is indeed wild and untamed."

"Although I have absorbed it into my body, the remnant soul and pent-up resentment lurking within..."

"It's ten times more potent than a typical ten-thousand-year soul ring. It will probably take a lot of effort to completely refine it."

Facing the concerned gazes of the crowd, Li Hanyi spoke calmly and truthfully recounted what she had just felt.

Fortunately, she had already abandoned the Sword Heart Technique and switched to cultivating the "Eternal Youth Scripture," otherwise, if she had used her old attack methods to forcefully devour such a ferocious soul ring,

It might backfire and damage the meridians, harming the very foundation of the body.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

"Now that the soul ring has been returned to its place, refining it is just a matter of time."

"Once we return to the sect, Yu Yan and I will join forces to completely refine this soul ring for Han Yi..."

The resentment and remnant soul entrenched in the 100,000-year-old soul ring would require at least several months of arduous work for Wang Yuyan, a level three awakened individual, to completely cleanse and reunite Li Hanyi with her spiritual power.

However, if Qiao Jingjing, a level four awakened being, were to be in charge of the main force, and Wang Yuyan were to assist with the Ice Soul Concentration Technique—the two powerful forces working together would achieve twice the result with half the effort!

After Li Hanyi nodded to confirm that everything was alright, Lin Quan and the other girls all turned their gazes to the giant unicorn whale lying on the sea surface.

Lin Quan's heart skipped a beat: these sea spirit beasts, especially whales, besides the guaranteed spirit rings and spirit bones, also possess a rare treasure—

Whale glue!

That's right, it's whale glue!

The giant unicorn whale before them, whose cultivation was approaching the 200,000-year mark, was no ordinary creature.
