Lin Yu immediately sat down cross-legged and began cultivating. Putting everything else aside, he at least had to reach the Dou Di realm first. Otherwise, the gap between them would simply be too difficult to make up.
He had already realized the disparity between them. When Xiao Qing had set up the Spirit Gathering Array earlier, she had deliberately slowed down, yet Lin Yu still had not learned a thing. Even though he could make out some of it, he could not grasp the mysteries within. That was the gap in absolute strength.
Sitting cross-legged where he was, Lin Yu began absorbing the surrounding energy in the next instant. His absorption speed was extremely fast, but with the Spirit Gathering Array in place this time, the situation from last night did not occur. Lin Yu's cultivation level was rising at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The realm he had attained through his bloodline's enhancement actually began to loosen once more.
His enhanced bloodline had pushed him straight to the seven-star Dou Sheng realm, letting him leap five levels at once. Yet he had not even stabilized that realm for a few days before, after cultivating for only a short while, he had already reached the verge of another breakthrough.
"Master's talent is as exceptional as ever." Xiao Qing stood nearby, silently watching Lin Yu, unable to suppress a sigh.
She had been by Lin Yu's side hundreds of thousands of years ago. It could be said that every step of Lin Yu's growth had been inseparable from her, just as her own growth had been inseparable from him. Back then, Lin Yu's talent had been the same. It could not be said that nothing could stand in his way, but his cultivation speed was beyond anyone's reach.
