On the field, Bai Jusheng took his giant sword. His thin figure held the giant sword in one hand and rushed towards Lin Chong as a trail of afterimages. The fiery red spiritual power poured into the giant sword. Wherever the giant sword passed, the space seemed to become illusory and distorted.

"Sword of the Earth!" Bai Jusheng suddenly shouted loudly, and his thin body burst out with terrifying power in that instant. He held the giant sword in his hand with a ferocious face and suddenly leaped into the air. The fiery red giant sword, with the momentum to split the earth, fell towards where Lin Chong was. The invisible hot wind swept the sky.

Lin Chong slowly raised his eyes and looked at Bai Jusheng's sword. He couldn't help but smile and whispered, "Your sword doesn't have the momentum of my father's sword that can shatter mountains and rivers!"

"Beidou—Tianxuan Po!"

Lin Chong quickly formed seals with his hands, and the next moment, his body suddenly burst out with strong momentum, and terrifying waves spread out. Lin Chong's eyes flashed with bright blue light...

……

Chapter 108: The Power of Tao

"He actually burst out with the strength of the Spiritual Pill Realm. This kid is not simple!"

The old man who was drinking in the VIP seat saw the secret technique performed by Lin Chong, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. A secret technique of this level is not something that ordinary people can use.

After performing the secret technique, Lin Chong felt the surging spiritual power in his body, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more intense. The green sword in his hand was surrounded by green sword energy, and he immediately built a green barrier, trying to block Bai Jusheng's sword.

Bai Jusheng couldn't help but raise a disdainful smile and shouted, "This is just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Chop it up!"

The fiery red giant sword brought with it a powerful gust of wind and an extremely terrifying force as it chopped down the green barrier. Just when everyone thought that the barrier would shatter in an instant, the fact was that not only did the green barrier not break, it even seemed to be elastic and bounced Bai Jusheng's giant sword away.

"what!"

Bai Jusheng's moment of distraction gave Lin Chong an opportunity to seize it. A beam of light condensed from sword energy shot towards Bai Jusheng's waist at a tricky angle.

At this moment, Bai Jusheng, sensing the danger, forcibly adjusted his body shape in the air and narrowly avoided the sword beam, and the hem of his long gown was torn to pieces by the beam.

Bai Jusheng fell to the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, but was immediately met with Lin Chong's fierce attack.

Lin Chong knew that his secret method would not last very long, so he did not even think about having a protracted battle with Bai Jusheng. From the very beginning, Lin Chong wanted to launch a quick attack and catch Bai Jusheng off guard.

But Bai Jusheng is worthy of being a veteran strongman on the Heavenly Ranking. Even when facing such a fierce attack, he still defended very smoothly. Although he was a little flustered, he did not reveal any flaws.

The sound of metal colliding echoed on the field. The sparks that flew when the two swords collided, the tyrannical force and the sharp sword energy became the main theme on the field.

In the audience seats, Ye Wanxi clasped her hands tightly against her chest, staring at the fierce battle on the field. She was very anxious. Based on her understanding of Lin Chong, Lin Chong's secret method would not last too long. Once he fell into a weak period after using the secret method, it would mean that Lin Chong would lose the battle.

"Come on, Lin Chong!"

In the VIP seats, next to the old man drinking, was a middle-aged man in fancy clothes. He watched the fight on the field and said to the old man, "Mr. Mo, it looks like this dark horse may have to stop here!"

The old man called "Old Mo" took a big gulp of wine, wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve, smacked his lips, and said with a smile: "How about I make a bet with you, the dean of the inner courtyard?"

"Oh, what are you betting on, Mr. Mo?"

The dean of the inner courtyard of Tianli Academy suddenly became interested and looked at Mr. Mo curiously.

There was a gleam in Mo Lao's eyes. He pointed at the two people fighting below and said, "If that kid Lin wins, then reward him with a chance to break through the Spiritual Pill Realm. How about entering the bottom of the Tianli Mountain Pool?"

When the dean of the inner courtyard heard about the reward, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak clearly: "Mr. Mo, you are taking a big gamble. Giving such an opportunity to a freshman... this..."

"I don't care whether you want to gamble or not!"

Old Mo took out a pack of roast chicken wrapped in oil paper, tore open one, which was still dripping with oil. The skin was roasted crispy, and when Old Mo took a bite, his mouth was filled with the aroma of oil. He said vaguely, "Such a... a child with potential, and a freshman... you are getting stupider and stupider!"

"I bet, I bet, Mr. Mo, if I win, what should I do?" The dean of the inner courtyard said aggrievedly, "It's impossible that I will bleed profusely and you won't pay, right?"

Mr. Mo waved his hand casually, and said with a look of disdain: "Okay, I'll get you a small pot of the wine I brewed when the time comes!"

"Oh, that's good!"

The inner courtyard dean was very happy now. He had few chances to get wine from Mr. Mo. Looking at Bai Jusheng who had already started to fight back, the inner courtyard dean thought to himself, "Whether I can drink Mr. Mo's wine depends on you!"

Old Mo, who was eating roast chicken at the side, looked at the dean of the inner courtyard next to the first courtyard, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He looked at the battle below. He had vaguely sensed just now that the little guy named Lin was holding back a big one. He hoped that he would not be disappointed!

So everyone thought that Lin Chong would lose, because it was obvious that Lin Chong's momentum was beginning to wane, as if he was about to fall down at the next moment. When Lin Chong was fighting with Bai Jusheng, he was also shaken by the powerful force so that his clothes were torn and he suffered a lot of internal injuries, with some blood remaining at the corners of his mouth.

After blocking Bai Jusheng's powerful sword, Lin Chong couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Wanxi, who was watching in the audience, stood up suddenly. Just as she was about to shout, she saw Lin Chong actually rushing straight towards Bai Jusheng.

Lin Chong's action immediately caused many people in the arena to burst into noisy discussions. In the previous confrontation, Bai Jusheng had already resisted the attack of Lin Chong who was at the peak of his power using the secret method. Now, as time goes by, Lin Chong's winning momentum will only become weaker and weaker.

But no matter what the people present thought, Lin Chong still stubbornly rushed towards Bai Jusheng. Although Bai Jusheng was a little surprised, he still did not relax his hands, but became more tense. He had seen Lin Chong fight many times, and this was definitely not a reckless and brainless person.

However, just as Bai Jusheng was about to sweep Lin Chong with his giant sword, a strong sense of crisis surged into Bai Jusheng's heart. He saw the almost tangible green sword energy on Lin Chong's Qingling sword, which even carried a hint of mystery, and the dangerous aura came from that.

The giant sword that was about to sweep out was abruptly taken back by Bai Ju. He did not care about the consequences of the reverse flow of spiritual power and quickly retreated, but it was too late.

"Hahaha, it's too late!"

Lin Chong discovered Bai Jusheng's intention and couldn't help but burst into laughter, revealing his white teeth that were still stained with blood. The Qingling sword in his hand was actually flashing with very vague runes. He slashed in the direction of Bai Jusheng: "The sword breaks the sky and searches for the stars!"

As the voice fell, a huge green crescent sword energy that seemed to cut through the sky slashed towards Bai Jusheng. There were some blurry rune marks flashing on the green crescent sword energy. If you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see the terrifying destructive power contained in this crescent sword energy. Even Mr. Mo in the VIP seat couldn't help but frown and his face changed.

The dean of the inner courtyard stood up in surprise, his eyes almost bulging out. What did he just see? There was actually "Tao" on the sword energy!

Just as Bai Jusheng's pupils were shrinking rapidly, the green crescent sword energy came in front of him. Any defense he had hastily gathered was instantly shattered at that moment. Under countless horrified gazes, the green sword energy cut off Bai Jusheng's giant sword as if it were cutting tofu, casually and easily.

Bai Jusheng could only watch the crescent sword energy rushing towards him, a sense of death surged into his heart. At this moment, the referee had already arrived in front of Bai Jusheng, and gathered many defensive means to block this move, but even the referee was stunned when facing this move, and many memories emerged in his mind.

He had no idea that the defense in front of him had been torn apart by the sword energy. At this moment, Old Mo, who was still eating roast chicken in the VIP seat, hurried to the scene. With his powerful cultivation and the power of space, he forcibly confined the crescent sword energy into another space.

At this time, the arena had been destroyed and was in a mess. Lin Chong, with his clothes torn and breathless, was slumped over on the other side of the arena, watching the mess on the field.

The sword move he had just performed destroyed most of the arena, and the ravines torn by the sword energy were flashing with green light, and there seemed to be a green and blue rune power flowing in it, really like the flow of stars.

Lin Chong grinned, he was really very happy. For this move, he had failed countless times, but today he finally succeeded and finally used this unique skill!

He silently clenched the Qingling Sword in his hand, thinking silently in his heart: "How about it, can I get your approval now?"

"It's a bit reluctant, I'll let you pass!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Chong smiled, he knew that this was recognition of him!

Old Mo, the Dean of the Inner Court, and a group of senior members of the Inner Court of Tianli Academy all came to the arena. When the Dean of the Inner Court saw the badly damaged arena, especially the huge ravine containing the power of "Tao", his eyes twitched. He looked at Old Mo and said angrily, "Old Mo, did you know this a long time ago?!"

"Hey, I don't know what you are talking about, hahaha!" Old Mo did not expect that Lin Chong would bring him such a big surprise, and asked the distraught dean of the inner courtyard to deal with Bai Jusheng's affairs on the field.

Meanwhile, Old Mo came in front of Lin Chong. Although he was at the end of his strength, his eyes were bright and his mouth was smiling. He could not help but look up to this boy and secretly admired him in his heart: "He is indeed a man who can comprehend the Tao. At this age, he has a promising future!"

When Lin Chong saw the old man suddenly coming in front of him, he was stunned, but he also knew that the other party was a senior member of the academy. He stood up tremblingly and said quickly, "Hello, elder!"

"Young man, you won and you performed well. Remember to find that guy when the time comes. He still owes you an opportunity!" Old Mo pointed at the inner courtyard dean's forehead and left with a big laugh.

Just when Lin Chong was confused, the Ye sisters also rushed onto the stage from the audience. The elder sister, Ye Wanxi, quickly grabbed Lin Chong's wrist and checked it. When she confirmed that he was just overdrawn, she said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to do this? And you're still like this... woo woo..."

When he was about to say something, Lin Chong excitedly hugged Ye Wanxi, lowered his head and kissed her red little lips. His sister Ye Qingyi, who was standing by, looked at the two of them and couldn't help feeling jealous, as if she was being fed a lot of dog food on the spot.

"Do you really have to show your affection now? Asshole!"

Chapter 109: Beginning of Dual Cultivation

During the time that Lin Ran was in the Inner Court, he took over the administration of the Inner Court and began to reform the Inner Court. At the same time, he also began to prepare for the Inner Court's Heavenly Ranking Competition. While other academies were in full swing, only Linghua Academy was quite slow and the competition has not yet started.

As for the reward from the outer courtyard, it was a pity that the first-place girl, Chi Si Nian, was not very suitable for the inheritance of Hua Zong, so he could only accept her as a registered disciple and train with her for a period of time. However, Fu Yuemei was a bit interesting. If she could stand out in the inner courtyard, he could give her a chance to test her.

Lin Ran also began to try dual cultivation with Wen Qianyi, but there were many difficulties in the process. It was not as smooth as with Meng Qing. When he and Wen Qianyi were practicing dual cultivation, their spiritual power was like that of enemies, constantly producing various frictions and struggles.

He could only attribute this to the fact that their martial arts techniques were not from the same origin!

After a period of attempts, they finally found the trick. They could finally practice dual cultivation smoothly, and their cultivation speed was much faster than if one person practiced alone.

Although Lin Ran knew that if he and Meng Qing were to practice in the Ice Spirit Jade Lake, the speed of practice would be three or four times the current speed, or even more terrifying, but what was the point? Wen Qianyi was willing to practice with him, which was already a great honor for him. In addition, the special nature of the Ice Spirit Jade Lake meant that only Wen Qianyi, who had the Heavenly Fire or Yin-cold attribute skills, could practice.

The two tried to practice together in the inner courtyard's spirit gathering training room for a while. Instead, Wen Qianyi looked at Lin Ran with shining eyes and said, "Senior, why don't we go to Binglingyu Lake and give it a try!"

Let's give it a try. It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. On the day when Wen Qianyi proposed to go to Bingling Jade Lake to practice, the two of them went straight into the continuous mountains behind the inner courtyard and came to Bingling Jade Lake again.

The vast and dark Ice Spirit Jade Lake, Lin Ran and his team had only explored a small part of it before, but this time, Lin Ran and his team deliberately found a place in the Ice Spirit Jade Lake that was very suitable for cultivation.

Near the center of Binglingyu Lake, there is a place with many stone pillars under the water. Some of the stone pillars are as big as millstones, and people can just sit cross-legged in them with only their heads exposed.

Such a place for cultivation reminded Lin Ran of the classic scene of dual cultivation among wild flowers. At this moment, he and Wen Qianyi were doing the same thing.

The energy near the center of the lake is more concentrated, but the accompanying cold is also more bone-chilling. The spiritual power Lin Ran needs to consume to hold up the protective shield is more than that consumed on the periphery. Moreover, the cold fog in the center of the lake can be said to be almost tangible. It is difficult to see clearly when you are in it.

Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi were flying in the air, looking at each other. Wen Qianyi, who had proposed to practice cultivation before, was a little hesitant at this time. Finally, Lin Ran scratched his head awkwardly, thought of a compromise, and said, "How about I go down first, and when I'm ready, I'll call you, and then you can come down..."

"Don't worry, I won't open my eyes!"

Lin Ran knew what Wen Qianyi was thinking about and quickly added a sentence.

"I...I believe you..." Wen Qianyi said in a low voice.

"Then I'll wait for you downstairs!"

Lin Ran smiled, then went into the thick cold fog. After finding his position, he quickly undressed himself and sat cross-legged on the stone pillar.

As soon as he touched it, a biting cold air came from the stone pillar, accompanied by a pure energy, which scared Lin Ran.

This feeling is like sitting directly on the cold toilet lid in the middle of winter, with the chill rushing into your eyes.

Lin Ran calmed his mind and deployed a protective shield to resist the cold. At the same time, he also tried to refine the pure energy that poured into his body. However, this was indeed quite exhausting. He had to expend a lot of effort to peel off that strand of pure energy from the cold air before he could absorb and refine it.

"This energy is pure, but the cold is really annoying!" Lin Ran thought to himself. He was also looking forward to practicing dual cultivation with Wen Qianyi. What would the effect be?

After waiting for a long time, Lin Ran heard the sound of someone entering the water, accompanied by a scream. Lin Ran, who had a rich imagination, had already begun to imagine a beautiful picture in his mind.

No wonder Mr. Lu Xun said: "When I see short sleeves, I immediately think of white arms, I immediately think of naked bodies... I immediately think of..."

Or is it that the gentleman has a sharp and profound vision...

After a while, a trembling voice sounded: "Senior...you can stretch out your hands and start!"

The sound was very soft and very close. Both of them knew that the distance between them was probably only half a meter or even less. Although they could not see anything, it was enough to arouse their imagination.

Lin Ran also calmed himself down. The fact that Wen Qianyi was willing to practice dual cultivation with him showed that she fully trusted him.

Lin Ran suppressed the rising desire in his heart, gathered his mind, and touched the jade hand extended from the opposite side. At the moment of contact, both of them trembled, but then they followed the practice method and began the journey of dual cultivation.

Wen Qianyi was responsible for refining the endless supply of pure energy attached to the cold air, while Lin Ran absorbed it and then integrated it with his own spiritual power and passed it back. This cycle continued, and the spiritual power of both of them could be continuously improved. If one of them was unstable in his practice, the other could provide timely support.

Without being disturbed in any way, both of them focused their minds on cultivation and practiced the magic spells with all their strength.

After practicing for an unknown period of time, Lin Ran took the initiative to stop practicing dual cultivation and said in a deep voice: "Let's stop here today. More haste makes waste. Our practice results today are already very good. Let's try again tomorrow!"

Wen Qianyi didn't say anything, but Lin Ran took the initiative to ease the awkwardness and said, "I'll wait for you at the cave entrance!"

After saying that, Lin Ran stood up and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the cave entrance.

While flying, he put on his clothes in no time. Lin Ran waited at the entrance of the cave for a while, and Wen Qianyi arrived.

Lin Ran glanced at Wen Qianyi very secretly and saw that Wen Qianyi was the same as usual, with a faint smile on her face and a rosy little face. She also responded to him when he spoke, which made Lin Ran feel relieved.

For the next period of time, Lin Ran turned into a master of time management. He handled affairs during the day, and went to Binglingyu Lake to practice with Wen Qianyi at night. Perhaps because they went there more often, neither of them was as nervous and shy as they were in the beginning, and they practiced according to the routine every time.

Lin Ran's realm was originally three stars in the Nirvana Realm, and now he is not far from four stars. He just needs to break through a bottleneck if he works hard. And Wen Qianyi has been one step away from four stars since she broke through to three stars in the Spiritual Pill Realm last time.

You have to know that it has not been one or two years since they started dual cultivation. It has been less than a month, and they have achieved such amazing results. Lin Ran can already see the peak of Nirvana realm beckoning to him.

……

Wen Qianyi herself has now transformed herself into a master of time management. She is responsible for refining pills during the day, or teaching students to refine pills, and has to practice at night. However, she is still content with her current life. She always feels very happy to be able to spend time practicing with her predecessors and make progress together.

But the speed at which she improved her realm did attract the attention of her sister Wen Bixuan.

One night, when Wen Qianyi was about to go to practice, her sister Wen Bixuan suddenly went out and looked at Wen Qianyi with a worried look in her eyes. She softened her voice and said, "Qianyi, how come you have been practicing so fast recently? Some time ago, I saw you were still at the three-star level in the Spiritual Pill Realm, but now you are almost at the four-star level. You are not taking any pills randomly, are you?"

When Wen Qianyi was asked about her rapid progress, she looked a little unnatural, but she was afraid of being discovered by her sister, so she quickly covered it up and said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't take any pills randomly. After all, I am a sixth-level alchemist, and I know the harmfulness of pills!"

Although Wen Bixuan hid it very well, in the eyes of Wen Bixuan, who had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, all the unnatural expressions were caught by Wen Bixuan.

Wen Bixuan did not alert the enemy and warned: "Pay attention to the speed of cultivation, don't practice too fast. If you don't have a solid foundation and are too superficial, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

"I understand, sister. I'm going to practice now!" Wen Qianyi pulled Wen Bixuan's arm and acted coquettishly for a while before leaving the house and flying towards the back mountain of the academy.

Wen Bixuan walked out of the house and stood in the yard, looking up at the direction Wen Qianyi left. With her powerful soul power, the direction Wen Qianyi was heading to was exactly the direction of Binglingyu Lake.

This made Wen Bixuan feel even more puzzled. She knew Qianyi very well and knew that apart from refining medicine, Qianyi usually stayed in the training room in the courtyard to practice. Why would she go to Binglingyu Lake to practice now?

This was so strange that Wen Bixuan immediately thought of a person, the only man in Linghua Academy. Moreover, she had also heard recently that Qianyi and Lin Ran were very close, and their relationship was said to be very intimate.

In addition, Qianyi's progress was too fast, and she also went to Binglingyu Lake to practice for the first time, which made Wen Bixuan worried about her sister.
