Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Qiao Jingjing and the other two secretly exchanged glances.

Immediately afterwards, three pairs of eyes fixed on Li Hanyi.

Zhu Zhuqing's world, in terms of status, is by no means inferior to the place where Li Hanyi resides.

When it comes to actual combat effectiveness, the Martial Soul Continent is indeed a step behind.

Noticing the three intense gazes, Li Hanyi frowned slightly, her voice clear and sharp as a blade: "Speak plainly if you have something to say."

Wang Yuyan took a deep breath and finally mustered up her courage: "Sister Hanyi... I would like to ask you a few questions about martial arts."

Li Hanyi remained expressionless, uttering only one word: "Speak."

"We'd like to ask how your cultivation levels are divided into ranks? And... what realm have you reached now?"

Li Hanyi's gaze was calm as she answered decisively, "From lowest to highest, they are ranked from one to nine."

"Above these are, in order, the Vajra Mortal Realm, the Free and Easy Earth Realm, the Carefree Heaven Realm, and the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm."

Her gaze swept over the three people and Lin Quan, she paused, and then said:

"The aura emanating from you is barely enough to reach the threshold of the Vajra Mortal Realm."

"As for me, I stepped into the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm—the Nine Heavens Realm—half a month ago."

The four men, Lin Quan, and his companions, were all around twenty years old.

In Li Hanyi's world, reaching this level of cultivation at such a young age would only be considered slightly above average.

He's far from being a prodigy, barely even remotely a genius.

She was unaware—

These four people started from scratch and entered the Innate Realm in just over a month.

Previously, they were all complete novices in martial arts;

Even Wang Yuyan, despite having knowledge of countless martial arts techniques from various schools of the martial arts world,

Before forming a contract with Lin Quan, he was just an ordinary person with theoretical knowledge but no real internal strength.

Li Hanyi glanced at Lin Quan, who seemed to see right through the turmoil of doubt in her heart.

His lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, his voice clear and resolute:

"Sword Immortal Snow Moon may not know this—from the moment I stepped into the realm of martial arts until now, standing here, it has been a mere thirty days..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Hanyi's face, usually covered in frost and snow, suddenly tensed. Her eyebrows twitched, and a faint but real look of surprise flashed across her eyes, like a crack in an ice lake, its fine lines spreading silently.

Starting from scratch, in just one month!

Lin Quan and his three companions had already firmly established themselves on the edge of the Vajra Mortal Realm, their combat strength comparable to that of veteran masters!

Such progress is simply unbelievable and unprecedented!

Even her most talented senior brother in Beili, or the long-deceased leader of the Demonic Sect—both of whom possessed extraordinary martial veins and cultivated at a speed far exceeding this!

"Don't misunderstand," Lin Quan said calmly, "Yu Yan does indeed have a natural talent and exceptional comprehension."

And me, Jingjing, and Zhu Qing…”

"It was thanks to the help of otherworldly treasures and rare spiritual materials that I was able to break through the realm so quickly, and also awaken my unique ability."

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and a level-two crystal core, shimmering with a faint glow, appeared in his palm.

"This product originates from the land of Jingjing and contains the essence of primordial thunder."

It is precisely because of its relentless tempering that we were able to undergo a complete transformation in a short period of time, unleashing the power of heaven and earth's thunder!

Shila-

The words had barely left his mouth when a purple and white arc of electricity suddenly exploded!

Lightning surged around Lin Quan, and a violent shockwave swept out, causing the air to crackle and vibrate, and even the cracks in the floorboards showed faint scorch marks.

Even Li Hanyi, with a barely perceptible twitch of her fingertips, instinctively unleashed her true energy, and her protective aura instantly condensed into a thin, silvery curtain!

Her expression hardened slightly, clearly not expecting the thunder to possess such oppressive power.

Lin Quan was taken aback upon seeing this, then quickly withdrew his thoughts, and the lightning receded like a tide, leaving only wisps of green smoke rising gently.

As the thunderous aura dissipated, Li Hanyi quietly concealed her sharp edge, paused slightly in her breathing, and turned her gaze like that of a hawk towards Qiao Jingjing and the other two.

Since Lin Quan has already displayed extraordinary abilities, the other three must be no ordinary people either.

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan exchanged a smile, and before their toes even touched the ground, they were already airborne.

Qiao Jingjing gently lifted her hand—in an instant, the coffee table, porcelain vase, books, bronze mirror… all the objects in the room were lifted off the ground, suspended in mid-air, motionless, as if lifted by invisible threads.

"What Yu Yan and I awakened was the 'Power of Mind Control'."

Her voice was gentle, and her fingertips were slightly lowered. "To put it simply, it is to control things with intention and to control form with spirit."

As soon as she finished speaking, her jade-like fingers gently touched the table, and all the utensils in the room silently returned to their places, without even a ripple in the water in the cup.

Li Hanyi's gaze shifted and landed directly on Zhu Zhuqing.

Swah——

A sudden cloud of black mist rose!

Thick as ink, it spread silently, instantly engulfing the entire living room. The light seemed to be sucked away, and even breathing became heavier.

"Hmm? It can actually block divine sense perception..."

Li Hanyi closed her eyes and felt a slight sensation. When she opened them again, a rare look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

It's too late to say, then soon!

Zhu Zhuqing's figure blurred, and when she reappeared, she was already standing on the window frame at the other end of the living room—so fast that she didn't even leave an afterimage!

With a brief demonstration, she flicked her sleeves, and the black mist receded like a tide.

Immediately afterward, she lightly touched the ground with her feet, and her whole body suddenly transformed into a swift black shadow, disappearing silently into the shadow beneath Li Hanyi's feet!

"This...this..."

Li Hanyi looked down at the darkness at her feet, repeatedly probing with her divine sense, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without any response.

For the first time, an undisguised look of astonishment, even a slight daze, appeared on his usually cold and aloof face.

Swish!

The shadow flashed again, and Zhu Zhuqing stood firmly back in her original spot, as if she had never left.

"That's not all," Lin Quan continued, his voice steady, "we also stepped into the world of Zhuqing, receiving the gifts of heaven and earth, and condensing our own unique martial soul."

Before the words were finished, four jet-black halos rose slowly from the ground, circling around the feet of Lin Quan and the other three, their eerie light shimmering and their aura profound.

Among Zhu Zhuqing's seven rings, two bright purple soul rings stood out, as if thunder was lurking within them.

When Li Hanyi's gaze swept over Wang Yuyan, she paused, her eyes fixed on her—deep within those clear eyes, it seemed as if a galaxy was just beginning to form, and still waters ran deep.

For no other reason than the icy sword in Wang Yuyan's hand!

Before she finished speaking, Li Hanyi's figure suddenly flashed, so fast that only a silver streak remained, and in the blink of an eye, she was already standing in front of Wang Yuyan.

"This sword is what you call the 'Martial Soul'..."

As she spoke, she reached out and lightly tapped the spine of the sword—the moment her fingertips touched the blade, the Frost Sword trembled violently!

hum-

A chilling aura, as sharp as ancient frost, suddenly exploded out, as if the air in the entire room had frozen solid for a moment. If Wang Yuyan hadn't swiftly retracted her five fingers and suppressed the sword spirit with her true energy like a lock, that cold wave would probably have already broken through the roof beams, causing frost to form on the eaves and the window paper to tear.

"Meow--"

Li Hanyi raised an eyebrow, about to ask more questions, when Zhu Zhuqing's mind stirred, and a giant cat, entirely black and resembling a clouded leopard but even more majestic, suddenly appeared beside her. A deep black mist floated around it, its eyes were calm, and its gait was unhurried, as if the master of the forest had quietly arrived under the moonlight.

"The martial spirits in Zhu Qing's world are generally divided into two categories: beast martial spirits and weapon martial spirits."

"Beast Martial Souls encompass everything—from fierce birds and beasts leaping across the mountains and fields to the divine mounts that one would only dare to describe after burning incense for three days in ancient books."
