Breakthrough to the Earth Yuan Stage

"Brother Lin Dong, Brother Wu Yun, Sister Lin Xia asked me to invite you to her house for dinner!"

At dinnertime, Qing Tan came to find them right on schedule.

"Got it, we'll be there in a moment!"

"Boo hoo hoo, two big brothers, if you don't go, Sister Lin Xia will be heartbroken. She gave me this task, so please help me out."

Qing Tan urged them.

"Let's go mooch a meal!" Wu Yun said.

He had just obtained the Yin Bead and was in a great mood. Since the Yin Bead had come from Little Qing Tan, he naturally had to give Qing Tan this courtesy.

Lin Dong said, "Yeah. With Sister Lin Xia's personality, if we helped her today but don't go, she'll keep thinking about it."

"Let's go, Qing Tan!"

The two headed out.

"Hehe, I knew you two wouldn't leave me hanging."

The three arrived at the small courtyard of Lin Ken's home, where Lin Xia was already waiting at the entrance.

She wore a purple gauze dress, exposing her fair, slender calves. Her slim waist, narrow enough to grasp in one hand, formed the perfect dividing line of her figure, while her legs, which accounted for seventy percent of her height, made her look especially tall.

Whether a woman was beautiful depended on her legs! That really wasn't an empty saying! Wu Yun spotted the dressed-up Lin Xia from afar, and those long legs truly added a great deal to her charm.

"Your cousin is really beautiful!"

Wu Yun praised her.

Lin Dong instinctively replied, "Yeah, Sister Lin Xia is the prettiest among the younger generation of our Lin Family."

"No, no, I think Qing Tan is the prettiest in your Lin Family!" Wu Yun retorted.

Lin Xia was nice too, but her greatest asset was her legs. She was only more mature because she was a few years older than Qing Tan.

Though Qing Tan was still a little girl, she had already grown into a graceful young beauty—a true beauty in the making.

In the future, Qing Tan's looks would rank among the best on the entire continent.

"Big Brother Wu Yun, what are you talking about?"

Qing Tan said with a blush.

Yet she secretly felt pleased.

At the same time, she pouted at Lin Dong, feeling indignant on behalf of herself. Hmph, Brother Lin Dong has nowhere near Big Brother Wu Yun's eye for beauty!

"You're here!" Lin Xia greeted them shyly. She had waited for quite a while and had nearly gone to Lin Dong's house to invite them herself, but she had been too embarrassed to do so.

Lin Xia had prepared a lavish dinner and clearly put a great deal of care into it. The table was packed with dishes.

Her parents were also there, deeply grateful that Lin Dong and Wu Yun had stepped in to help that day. During the meal, they kept asking about Wu Yun, practically treating him like a prospective son-in-law.

By the time Wu Yun had dealt with the Lin Xia family, it was already dark.

He declined Lin Ken's invitation to stay the night at his house.

Wu Yun still returned to the Lin Family courtyard with Lin Dong to sleep!

That night, he continued discussing martial arts with Lin Dong!

A month later! "The effect of these Yin Beads is truly amazing. Quite a bit of Yin Sha Energy has already fused into my Dantian. Now I can attempt a breakthrough to the Earth Yuan Stage!"

Wu Yun was delighted. Over the past month, he had used thirteen Yin Beads and was only one step away from the Earth Yuan Stage.

"As expected of the Yin Sha Energy produced by a Demonic Qi Body!"

Wu Yun sighed in admiration. These Yin Beads came from Qing Tan's body because Qing Tan possessed a powerful Demonic Qi Body.

This physique was extremely special. It constantly absorbed Yin Sha Energy from heaven and earth.

The Yin Sha Energy it produced was exceptionally pure. Qing Tan had yet to fully awaken; otherwise, the Yin Sha Energy within her body could have reached above the ninth grade.

It could be said that Qing Tan, with this physique, had started out far ahead of both him and Lin Dong.

Qing Tan's future achievements would also be extraordinary.

"There are still five Yin Beads left. That should be enough."

Wu Yun swallowed all five Yin Beads at once.

Powerful Yin Sha Energy instantly swept through his entire body, and frost formed on his hair!

He circulated the Heavenly Mystery Skill, continuously refining the medicinal power.

At a certain moment! Boom! His five viscera thundered.

"I broke through!"

Wu Yun was overjoyed as he looked inward at his Dantian.

Within his Dantian, the milky-white Yuanli Seed had transformed into an icy-blue mass of qi.

Primal Force had fused with Yin Sha Energy. This was the sign of the Earth Yuan Stage.

Wu Yun circulated his technique and was finally able to easily draw upon that icy-blue cold power within his Dantian.

"The first level of the Heavenly Mystery Skill is finally complete!"

Wu Yun was ecstatic.

His Primal Force circulated much faster now.

"So the first level corresponds to the Body Tempering Stage. What stage could the ninth level reach?"

"In this world, what level of martial art is the Heavenly Mystery Skill? Creation Martial Arts or Spirit Martial Arts? It probably can't reach the level of Heavenly Martial Arts, right?"

Wu Yun could not help but ponder.

In his view, although the Heavenly Mystery Skill was powerful, the world of Douluo Continent simply could not compare with the world of Martial Movement.

The Heavenly Mystery Skill might rank among the best in the Douluo world, but in the Martial Movement world, where martial arts flourished in abundance, it probably would not even rank highly!

"Forget it. There's no need to dwell on that. The Heavenly Mystery Skill is enough for me to cultivate for a long time anyway."

He then used the Mysterious Jade Hand to test the power of his Primal Force after it had fused with Yin Sha Energy.

This time, his hands did not turn as white as jade as they normally did.

"Huh!"

Wu Yun cried out in surprise.

After his Mysterious Jade Hand became like white jade, it had actually gained a layer of icy blue.

"The cold qi really can merge into the Mysterious Jade Hand. Great!"

Wu Yun secretly went to the training ground to test its power. It was several times stronger than before.

The Mysterious Jade Hand itself possessed an icy attribute, so breaking through to the Earth Yuan Stage gave it the greatest enhancement.

After breaking through, Wu Yun immediately told Luo Cheng the good news. "Yun'er, you truly haven't disappointed me. You broke through to the Earth Yuan Stage so quickly. It looks like our Mad Blade Martial Arts School has a chance to take first place in this year's Hunting Conference."

Luo Cheng was very pleased and straightforwardly rewarded Wu Yun with three Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines.

At the same time, he taught Wu Yun the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's ultimate technique, the Fourth-Grade Martial Art, Thunderous Slash.

This was also why Wu Yun had been so eager to tell Luo Cheng.

Once he broke through to the Earth Yuan Stage, he could learn this Fourth-Grade Martial Art.

Fourth-Grade Martial Arts were already Intermediate Martial Arts. In Qingyang Town, the highest-level martial arts possessed by the Lei, Xie, and Lin families were only Fourth-Grade Martial Arts.

However, the Lei Family had two Fourth-Grade Martial Arts.

There was still one month until the hunt!

"Cultivate harder and see if I can make another breakthrough before the hunt."

Wu Yun went to find Lin Dong again. "Congratulations, Big Brother, on breaking through to the Earth Yuan Stage."

"Come on, Little Brother. Help me refine pills!"

Wu Yun refined the Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines he had just received into Elixir Pills.

He obtained ten Fourth-Grade Pills.

"I plan to make another trip to the Trading Post and exchange for some Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines."

Wu Yun directly stated his plan.

After breaking through to the Earth Yuan Stage, Third-Grade Pills no longer had much effect on him. Only pills of the fourth grade and above would have a noticeable effect.

"Alright, I'll go with you, Big Brother. I need Fourth-Grade Pills too, so I can strive to quickly break through to the Earth Yuan Stage."

Using the same method as before, the two traded the Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid and some Third-Grade Pills they had for a batch of Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines.

In the end, Wu Yun returned with a bottle of Yin Beads and over a dozen Fourth-Grade Pills.

Lin Dong had many Yin Beads. Every so often, Qing Tan's cold qi would flare up, allowing them to obtain many Yin Beads.

"With these, I should be able to improve further!"

Another month passed in the blink of an eye!

The Hunting Conference had arrived.

Wu Yun emerged from seclusion.

"Finally, I can check in!"
