Lin Xingyu checked the time and found that Mu Ye was really fast. It would take one or two days to travel from Eastsea City to Heaven Dou City by Soul Tool Train, but Mu Ye only took a few hours to send him back to Eastsea City.
Seeing that it was still early, he went straight home. The old housekeeper had just arranged lunch when Lin Cheng arrived.
"How have you been at school lately? Do you need any help?" Lin Cheng asked gently.
"It's alright. I won first place in the Skysea Alliance Competition and joined the War God Temple and the Body Sect. From now on, I'll be considered a person with influence."
Lin Xingyu replied, and then explained the two forces and his own position to Lin Cheng.
"That's good. Just be more low-key in the future and don't be too headstrong," Lin Cheng said slowly with a sigh of relief.
"I know, Class Zero has stopped showing up outside."
Lin Cheng nodded. "You've been precocious since you were little, so you should know what's going on in these things. I won't say more, because I probably don't know as much as you do. Just don't hesitate to ask when you need help, and don't carry this burden alone."
Lin Xingyu nodded and said nothing more.
In the afternoon, Lin Xingyu went straight back to the Eastsea Academy.
"Team leader!"
Lin Xingyu had just arrived at the dormitory when he heard a familiar voice in his ear. He turned around and saw the four students from Class Zero.
At that moment, Xu Xiaoyan rushed straight towards Lin Xingyu. Lin Xingyu raised his hand to catch Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Xiaoyan gave Lin Xingyu a hug.
Feeling the body in his arms, Lin Xingyu remained completely calm.
Xie Xie, who was not far away, couldn't help but whistle when he saw this scene.
Upon hearing Xie Xie's voice, Xu Xiaoyan immediately took two steps back, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and lowered her head slightly.
" Xu Xiaoyan, you didn't even give me a hug when you came back from your leave, but you gave the captain a hug as soon as he came back. You can't be biased, Xu Xiaoyan," Xie Xie with a mischievous smile.
"Get out of here! I gave the captain a hug because he pointed out the direction for me to complete my Martial Soul. If you can point me in a clear direction, I'll give you a big hug too." Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes in a very cute way.
Xie Xie was speechless.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyan's words, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but look at her closely. She had achieved Martial Soul Evolution so easily. Although it was expected, he was still a little curious.
Her height hasn't changed; she's still 1.5 meters tall. Her light blue long hair is styled into two smooth, long ponytails, making her look very cute.
Lin Xingyu felt that the biggest changes were in her temperament and skin. Xu Xiaoyan now had a mysterious, profound, tranquil and noble feeling. Her skin was obviously more crystal clear than before. Before, it could be described as jade-like, but now it seemed to have a little gold flowing on her body. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed to be nothing at all, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
"Congratulations! Your Martial Soul Evolution! From now on, it will have Absolute Certainty effect during the day, right?" Lin Xingyu smiled and offered his congratulations.
"It did succeed, but only my Martial Soul is left with the Star Attribute, and the Absolute Certainty time has changed from one second to one and a half seconds."
"Captain, you must have gained a lot from this trip, right?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously.
Although Xu Xiaoyan appeared shy in front of strangers, after getting to know the group, she lost all her shyness and instead exuded a quirky and mischievous charm.
"Well, the gains were indeed considerable, but for me, there weren't any major changes, except that my ability to survive was slightly enhanced," Lin Xingyu said after a moment's thought.
"That's already pretty good!"
Hearing Lin Xingyu and Xu Xiaoyan's words, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were immediately filled with envy. Xu Xiaoyan's return a few days ago and her successful Martial Soul Evolution had already surprised them greatly.
Especially with Xu Xiaoyan directly becoming a second-ring Soul Grandmaster, the pressure on Tang Wulin has increased even more. Now Tang Wulin is the only Soul Master in Class Zero, and there is still a long way to go before he reaches the second ring.
" Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Wulin, how has the past month been for you all?" Lin Xingyu greeted them.
"What else can I do? It's still the same old story, and every day is unbearably miserable." Xie Xie sighed deeply, as if he had suffered some great injustice.
Seeing his dramatic performance, the others couldn't help but laugh. Gu Yue, who had been expressionless, was also amused by Xie Xie.
The group exchanged their experiences, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin expressed deep envy and jealousy towards Lin Xingyu's daily life. Although they also ate well and studied well at the Eastsea Academy, they couldn't avoid at least one practical training session every day, which was the part that made Xie Xie and the other two feel the most uncomfortable.
After the group finished their discussion...
Tang Wulin looked at Lin Xingyu with a troubled expression and said, "Captain, I have some things I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Lin Xingyu was taken aback, unable to think of anything to talk about for a moment, but he nodded nonetheless. "No problem, come to my room."
" Wulin, what's the matter?" Lin Xingyu asked after entering the room.
Tang Wulin felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Just now, under the urging of Old Tang inside his body, he said he had something to do, but at this moment he really didn't know what to say. In the end, Tang Wulin's mind raced, and he couldn't just go and ask to become a disciple, could he? The Tang Sect wouldn't allow such behavior.
Finally, I mustered up my courage and said it.
"Captain, I heard that the sect you joined has done a lot of research on bloodlines. My bloodline has been mutating. I would like to ask if your sect has any research in this area, and if you can give me some guidance."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xingyu instantly understood what was going on.
Old Tang should have the secret techniques of the Body Sect; he doesn't lack them. He's probably here because he heard about the decline of the Body Sect and came to see if he could get some resources.
After all, the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King is indeed very attractive to the Body Sect.
Lin Xingyu nodded and said, "I can look for it for you. I can also tell my teacher about your situation and see if anyone is interested in it or can offer some advice. I don't know how they would do it, since your situation is really rare."
" The Martial Soul is average, but the bloodline has mutated to this extent, which is truly outrageous."
Hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't take Lin Xingyu's answer seriously. It was only under the instigation of Old Tang within his body, who said that the Body Sect would definitely be interested in his bloodline and could give him a lot of help, that he finally had to speak up.
So no matter how Lin Xingyu answered, he didn't care; in fact, he felt relieved.
Just then, Tang Wulin felt a sudden flash of Spirit Light, and a sentence immediately slipped out.
"Captain, the Body Sect is very knowledgeable about improving Body Strength, so they must also have channels for collecting body-tempering spiritual items, right?"
"Yes, there is. What do you want?"
Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's affirmative answer, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. He was really having a headache about the last Thousand-Year Spiritual Item to be unsealed.
He couldn't find it at the Tang Sect, nor at low-level auctions. As for the high-level ones, he had no channels or way to get in. Now, hearing Lin Xingyu's affirmative answer, he felt quite excited.
No matter what, the Body Sect has far more connections than I do. If I ask the captain for help, it will be much better than wandering around aimlessly on my own.
Although it will be a long time before the second seal is broken, I will feel more at ease if I get these spiritual items into my hands sooner, so as to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
"Captain, I've been searching for a Thousand-Year Spiritual Item, but I haven't found it yet. Could you please help me?" Tang Wulin looked at Lin Xingyu with burning eyes.
"What kind of spirit?"
" Thousand-Year Sinew Vine!"
"Sure, I can help you look for it, but you'll have to pay for it yourself."
"No problem!" Tang Wulin readily agreed.
Tang Wulin felt that the Skysea Alliance Competition several million, and if that wasn't enough, he would grit his teeth and take on more missions.
After Tang Wulin left, Lin Xingyu stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Based on our current interactions, Tang Wulin is still a good kid at this point. His clear goal suggests he was guided by his father Old Tang.
After some thought, I decided to give up on having Tang Wulin join the Body Sect. My teacher, Mu Ye, is already struggling enough to support two people, so I won't add to his burden. After all, the resources required for Second Awakening are considerable.
Furthermore, before I arrived, the Body Sect had become a branch of Shrek Academy. Now that I've arrived, the Body Sect is still a branch of Shrek Academy. Doesn't that mean my trip was in vain?
As for finding the Thousand-Year Sinew Vine for him, Lin Xingyu decided to take care of it directly. He couldn't just leave one of the two things unattended. Taking care of the small matter would be a way of showing that he had done his best.
I deserve to be called captain.
After Lin Xingyu returned to the Eastsea Academy, he resumed his ordinary life, with Wu Changkong taking charge of all their classes.
Lin Xingyu threw himself back into his intense and fulfilling daily training, and the various rumors about Class Zero gradually faded away with the passage of time.
Blood Replacement training is fundamental to one's Martial Path Cultivation and cannot be stopped.
Lin Xingyu began to hone his body by using the methods of the Body Sect and his own knowledge to improve his Body Strength.
The Meditation Method, " Taiyin Life Nourishing Method," is fundamental to enhancing one's spiritual power.
Soul Power meditation is also an essential part of the Soul Master profession.
Accumulating secondary profession experience and learning Soul Master knowledge are also things I need to do every day.
I also need to cultivate a relationship with Aya in the meantime.
His life went on day by day. Mu Ye and Zhen Hua would come to Eastsea City for a few months every year, and Lin Xingyu would also go to Heaven Dou City whenever he had a holiday.
Time flies by like water, and two and a half years have passed since Class Zero won the championship in the Skysea Alliance Competition.
Two and a half years later, Lin Xingyu has undergone tremendous changes.
Lin Xingyu is now a little over twelve years old, and his skin is still as clear and lustrous as jade. His pair of Crimson Gold eyes are even more captivating, appearing somewhat eerie from afar, making people hesitant to look into them for long.
Lin Xingyu has now grown to 1.75 meters tall. At his age, he should still have a lot of Changkong. Even if Soul Power has the effect of promoting development, his height is already outstanding. He looks almost no different from a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
As time went by, the childishness on his face gradually faded, and his appearance became cold and stern, with a hint of arrogance.
The coastline of Eastsea City.
As darkness fell, the sunlight was completely obscured by thick, inky clouds.
The sea breeze, unlike its usual gentleness, became wild and fierce, like a pair of invisible yet powerful hands, wantonly pulling at everything.
Huge waves crashed against the rocks, splashing white spray several meters high and producing a deafening roar.
The various creatures that usually frolic on the shore have long since left, and the shore is now deserted.
Perhaps because human exploitation of nature has become increasingly rampant, natural disasters have become more frequent in return.
The authorities had already issued a forecast, and the citizens had already taken precautions.
On the previously deserted coastline, a figure suddenly appeared walking slowly.
It was the figure of a young boy, tall and straight, with black hair fluttering in the wind, yet he never stepped forward to obstruct the view.
His all-black clothes clung tightly to his body in the strong wind, highlighting his near-perfect physique.
The person who arrived was Lin Xingyu, who was strolling alone along the coast while admiring the scene of the natural disaster.
Long ago, relying on his " High-Dimensional Vision " and his own strong foundation, Lin Xingyu had already reached the point where he could no longer advance in the art of swordsmanship, achieving perfect Unity of Body and Sword.
He was just a little short of the next level of Sword Intent, but he couldn't seem to cross it.
Lin Xingyu had consulted many people about this issue. He had looked up books in the Body Sect, asked people in the War God Temple, and naturally, he had also asked Wu Changkong.
The answers given by these people all ultimately pointed in one direction: feelings and intentions.
According to them, to comprehend the Sword Intent, one must either have sufficient life experience and abundant emotions, or have a fervent pursuit of something in the world.
Regardless of the circumstances, as long as one can express their feelings through the sword, they have successfully grasped the Sword Intent.
Lin Xingyu even went so far as to study the concept of Martial Dao Will from his previous life.
Regardless, we need people with sufficient ambition.
So what is my pursuit in this world?
Love? I've lived less than fifty years in total across my three lifetimes, and in two of them I wasn't even thirteen. In my longest life, the first one, I had just graduated from university and had never even had a girlfriend.
Family ties? Forget it. It might be okay in the first life, but you can't raise them in the next.
Pursuit? What is his pursuit for the future? To become the strongest? Diligent training is just an act of his insecurity; he is certain that he does not enjoy the pleasure of training.
Since we can't connect emotionally, let's observe the changes in nature and perhaps gain some insight from them.
With this in mind, Lin Xingyu often wandered through natural disasters.
At first, he would fully unleash his Magnetic Field, achieving a near- Unity of Heaven and Man, to perceive the changes in the world.
But I later found that this situation did strengthen my spirit, but it was of no use to my understanding of swordsmanship.
So Lin Xingyu simply viewed the natural disaster from a different perspective.
He often wandered around Eastsea City during typhoons, relying on his two Soul Bone and a bunch of equipment, he wasn't afraid of any accidents during the typhoon.
This situation even gave rise to an urban legend in Eastsea City.
Today, Lin Xingyu was still pondering this question slowly on the shore, starting from the initial Sword Intent and even moving on to why he cultivated at all. This had become his recent obsession.
Although it doesn't affect the daily accumulation of Soul Power, it's annoying!
At that moment, a small boat suddenly appeared in the sea, drifting along with the force of the typhoon. It seemed to be a late-returning ship that had missed its return to port.
Lin Xingyu could faintly hear someone shouting for help, but given the situation and the distance, he simply couldn't save anyone and could only protect himself.
Watching the crew struggle on the small boat until it disappeared into the sea, Lin Xingyu sighed helplessly.
Although the area is close to the sea and has a thriving commercial sector, in such extreme weather conditions, while large ships may be fine, smaller ships are prone to accidents.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xingyu suddenly remembered something and fell into deep thought.
Why did I start practicing so diligently in the first place? For a sense of security, so that one day I wouldn't be bound by anyone, so that one day I could do whatever I wanted!
Everything moves according to my will!
Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He had found his own path, which was his Sword Intent, his Martial Dao Will, and the path of his future cultivation!
He slowly closed his eyes, and gradually, the sound of wind and rain seemed to stop in his ears.
Centered on him, the wind and rain around him gradually slowed down and eventually stopped completely. Within a hundred meters of him, a scene of near-time stillness appeared.
The next moment, as Lin Xingyu opened his eyes, a Crimson Gold sharp light flashed past him, directly parting the sea a hundred meters in front of him.
One Sword Splits the Sea!
The wind and rain around him, within a hundred meters, silently shattered, creating a hundred-meter-wide void.
Sword Intent — The Life and Death Control!
