"That's it... An hour of cultivation time is too short..."

Yi Yun felt regretful; being suddenly interrupted from his meditation was an unpleasant feeling.

If we could stay a little longer, like another hour, we would definitely gain a lot.

Actually, thinking about it, even a whole day wouldn't be enough!

Yi Yun looked at the three Giant Beast sculpture in front of him with great envy.

This Desolate God Hall truly lives up to its reputation as the treasure of Tai'a Divine City. When will we be able to enter it again?

"Damn it, we finally made it through."

"The training was effective, but this one hour was pure torture..."

The boys around Yi Yun looked as if they had just been pulled out of the water, their entire bodies soaked in sweat.

Some people had no strength left and lay sprawled on the ground, completely disregarding their appearance. For these proud and arrogant young people, even if they had only a little strength left, they would force themselves to stand up.

Lying on the ground like a dead dog, that was truly the absolute limit.

Many people had considered giving up halfway and leaving the Desolate God Hall, but they also knew that the cultivation opportunities in the Desolate God Hall were extremely precious. If they wasted this hour, they would have to pay for Dragon Scale Rune if they wanted to enter again in the future!

And this price is definitely not cheap!

It's obvious without even thinking about it. With so many people in the entire Tai'a Divine City, who wouldn't want to comprehend the six Ancient Remnant Species statues? With so many people queuing up, how much time would each person actually have?

In this situation, giving up halfway would not only be a waste of their potential, but would also earn them the scorn of the bald man, and they might even be blacklisted. So no matter how difficult it was, they all persevered.

Unlike others, Yi Yun's body is now filled with pure energy, which naturally comes from Ancient Remnant Species!

From the moment he arrived until now, Yi Yun had been in a state of enlightenment. During this period of intense mental concentration, he had only absorbed a very small amount of the Ancient Remnant Species energy that had been accumulating in his body; the rest had not yet been absorbed.

Yi Yun shook his head. He had been so engrossed in comprehending the True Meaning of Laws that he hadn't paid attention to anything else. He hadn't even had time to digest the energy of the Ancient Remnant Species, because digesting this energy required time and effort, and doing so would have left him no time to comprehend its true meaning.

Time is too precious in the Desolate God Hall. The energy of the Ancient Remnant Species can be swallowed whole and then slowly absorbed at home.

However, even without absorbing it, Yi Yun's body became increasingly robust under the nourishment of this energy.

While everyone else was staggering, Yi Yun felt full of energy. He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead; Yi Yun had sweated quite a bit from his previous focused enlightenment.

"Hehe, are you hot? You've sweated so much... But you're pretty good. I was surprised you managed to stand and hold on until the end."

Just as Yi Yun was wiping his sweat, a cool voice sounded behind him.

Yi Yun turned around and saw that the person speaking was Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui, who had already expended a considerable amount of energy, had now forcibly mustered a bit of his vital energy to maintain his imposing presence and good image.

He resumed his signature pose, arms crossed over his chest, legs apart, looking like he was saying, "I had a really easy hour just now."

Honestly, it's quite impressive that Zhou Kui can still maintain this posture, at least compared to others.

In Yi Yun's view, Zhou Kui was just putting on a show, all bark and no bite.

Yi Yun glanced at Zhou Kui speechlessly, too lazy to pay him any attention and having no interest in putting Zhou Kui down.

This wasn't because Yi Yun was indifferent to worldly affairs, but because after arriving in Tai'a Divine City and meeting some Origin Foundation Realm geniuses, Yi Yun's horizons had broadened considerably.

With a broader perspective and a wider world to see, Yi Yun's goals became even more ambitious.

For Yi Yun, Zhou Kui was no longer a competitor.

His target was those who had stayed in Tai'a Divine City for three or four years.

These people are Yang Gan, Yao Demon Blade, and even Luo Huo'er and Qin Haotian!

Yi Yun's goal is to catch up with these people and break through to the Origin Foundation Realm in the shortest possible time!

Yi Yun walked out of the temple gate. This place was so wonderful that Yi Yun felt it was a pity to leave.

"Brother Yi, are you alright?"

When Yi Yun came out of the Desolate God Hall, a slightly chubby boy panted. He was Xu Zheng, whom Yi Yun had met on his way to the Desolate God Temple. At this moment, he was supporting himself on his knees with both hands, his face was pale, and he looked very exhausted.

"It's nothing," Yi Yun waved his hand, though his temples were actually throbbing slightly.

Although his body was full of strength, Yi Yun's mental energy was greatly depleted.

Absorbing the energy of the Ancient Remnant Species sculpture with Purple Crystal is not easy. Firstly, it is due to the seal of the Great Evolution True Gold, and secondly, Yi Yun's current cultivation level is very low, making it somewhat difficult for him to control the energy of the Ancient Remnant Species. It's like a child swinging a sledgehammer; his arm will ache after a few swings.

Yi Yun managed to endure this for an hour, so you can imagine how much mental energy he was expending.

Moreover, comprehending the true meaning of sages is also a great test for Yi Yun's soul sea.

"Brother Yi, you're really relaxed. Look around." Xu Zheng patted Yi Yun on the back and pointed around.

Everyone's situation isn't very good right now.

For example, Song Zijun's face was as pale as gold paper. At this moment, he didn't even bother to greet Yi Yun and was already meditating to regulate his breathing.

Many others are similar to Song Zijun, and Xu Zheng is considered quite good.

The bald man crossed his arms, remained silent, and waited for the others to adjust.

Although exhausted, people were excited.

Some of those who still had some energy left were discussing their recent gains in small groups, trying to demonstrate their resilience.

"It's indeed challenging. As expected of the Training Ground built by the first city lord of Tai'a Divine City, after just one hour of cultivation, I feel my divine Divine Soul has become much stronger!"

A member of the Black Tortoise Legion, panting heavily, said that although he was exhausted, he had a smile on his face, as if to say, "I still have energy to spare."

"Hmm! My Qi and blood have also become more refined. This kind of pressure is painful to bear, but it has solidified my Qi and blood, which is very beneficial!"

"I really want to go in again! I can't say I can last another hour, but I could definitely manage half an hour!"

These newcomers, each one more arrogant than the last, are all putting on a show of being more capable than they are.

Most of those making these comments were members of the Black Tortoise Legion. It must be said that the Black Tortoise Legion's martial style leans towards strength, and in terms of resilience, they are indeed stronger than the Brocade Dragon Guard members.

Many members of the Brocade Dragon Guard were too exhausted to speak at this point; they couldn't even pretend anymore.

For a time, the Black Tortoise Legion overshadowed everyone else. They deliberately showed off in front of the bald man to prove the power of the Black Tortoise Legion and the strength of their individual members.

The benefits of making a good impression on a bald man for one's future career are self-evident.

The bald man stroked his chin, watching the thirteen-year-old children perform with a smile.

He had a faint scar on his face, which, because of his smile, appeared slightly distorted, looking like a winding little snake.

Yi Yun noticed this scene and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. No matter how you looked at it, the bald man's smile had a malicious undertone.

A smiling tiger...

Yi Yun secretly thought that this smile seemed familiar.

In another world, when he was in school, he often saw similar smiles on the faces of some of his teachers.

Whenever Yi Yun saw such a smile, he would feel a chill in his heart, because it often meant tons of exercises and homework to come.

"You've all practiced quite well, haven't you?" the bald man said with a smile.

"Reporting to Instructor Qin, the brothers are doing alright!!"

Zhou Kui gave a standard salute from the Divine Kingdom, his voice loud and clear, full of energy!

The other members of the Black Tortoise Legion also shouted, "Not bad!"

The military is a place that values imposing presence. Whether it's responding to a count, shouting a command, or answering a superior officer, the voice must be short, loud, and forceful.

However, Yi Yun estimated that just that one shout had probably exhausted the little energy Zhou Kui had recovered from his rest...

Yi Yun looked at Zhou Kui with pity. This kid, whose muscles seemed to have grown into his brain, probably had no idea what awaited him next.

"You look energetic! Not bad!"

The bald man nodded, looking quite satisfied. "Then get up, all of you, and come with me to the drill ground!"

"The drill ground?" Zhou Kui was momentarily stunned. "What would we do at the drill ground?"

"It's nothing, just some basic training, like weighted squats, frog jumps, and assassination drills. It's very easy."

The bald man spoke in a very casual tone.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yun's expression turned strange. "Basic" training? Very "easy"?

"So it's just basic training, good!"

Zhou Kui readily agreed. Although he was currently very exhausted, he could still handle basic training; he did indeed have some energy left.

Zhou Kui was in slightly better condition, but the other members of the Black Tortoise Legion subconsciously swallowed hard.

Given their current condition, even basic training would be a struggle for them.

"It's okay, there are people who are worse than us!"

A member of the Black Tortoise Legion gestured to Yi Yun, Song Zijun, and the others with his eyes.

"The fancy footwork of the Brocade Dragon Guard is no match for our hard-hitting training. We've got someone at the bottom, so there's nothing to worry about. Look at them now, they'll have trouble even carrying their weapons to the training ground."

When people are being chased by a tiger, they don't need to run faster than the tiger; they only need to run faster than the slowest person.

"Yeah, as long as we're better than them!"

With this in mind, the members of the Black Tortoise Legion felt relieved. They followed the bald man, preparing to go to the training ground of Tai'a Divine City. (To be continued~^~)
