One Month, Lin Yi's Progress!

Time flew by, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Essay Pavilion, Dean Zhao Hai Hong had already departed.

Beneath the bookshelf.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"Truly wonderful!"

Lin Yi closed the essay, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but praise, "This Senior Sun Lu Shan is indeed worthy of being a peak master of Third-Rank Martial Arts, a powerful existence whose Strength Realm has also broken through to perfection. His understanding of the Full Moon Star Saber is truly, truly profound."

"He explains all the difficult points from shallow to deep, making them easy to understand. He dissects all the complex problems incisively, getting straight to the essence."

"Studying his essay for an hour is simply more effective than ten days of solitary cultivation on my own!"

"This way, even as I read more essays in the future, their help will gradually diminish."

"But overall, these essays will definitely increase my martial arts cultivation speed by several times, especially if I shamelessly ask Dean Hai Hong for guidance occasionally."

"With the Full Moon Star Saber perfected, perhaps I can achieve it in a month or two."

Lin Yi smiled, extremely satisfied in his heart.

Perfecting a Fourth-Rank Martial Art in a month or two was something he wouldn't have even dared to dream of before.

But now, with these essays and Dean Hai Hong's help, it was possible!

"Continue studying!"

Lin Yi was filled with motivation. He didn't pick up a new essay but instead flipped the one by Senior Sun Lu Shan back to the first page and began reading from the beginning.

When studying essays, quantity is not as important as suitability.

If an essay is unsuitable, even reading a hundred or a thousand of them will be like swallowing dates whole, with no effect.

If an essay is suitable, even just a few, or even one, can yield astonishing results.

And in Lin Yi's opinion, Senior Sun Lu Shan's essay was quite suitable for him.

Thus, as Lin Yi studied and practiced, time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.

Dongshan Prefecture, Qingzhou.

The first snowfall of winter in Dongshan Prefecture arrived later than usual this year, but when it came, it was incredibly fierce.

Just yesterday, not a single snowflake could be seen in the sky, yet in the span of a single night, the withered branches, distant houses, and roadside crops were all buried under a vast expanse of white snow. It was as if a Great Divine Ability User had unleashed Supreme Magic Power, transforming the entire world into a silver-white landscape overnight.

And at this moment, within a secluded courtyard in Dongshan Martial Academy.

Thick snow covered the spacious ground, and the frigid air caused one's breath to freeze.

However, amidst this icy landscape, a handsome young man, clad in thin, single-layered clothing, stood with his eyes closed, rooted to the ground like an Old Pine.

"Roar! Trumpet! Hiss! Roar..."

Breathing sounds, akin to a Dragon's Roar and an Elephant's Trumpet, emanated from the young man's nose and mouth.

As the young man breathed, the surrounding air was stirred, and waves of heat radiated outwards from him as the core, rapidly melting the thick snow within a radius of about ten feet.

Finally...

"Pop!"

A sound like a Bottleneck Breakthrough echoed from within Lin Yi's body.

The next moment, Lin Yi's entire aura surged, becoming significantly stronger than before.

"Phew! After nearly a month of arduous training, I've finally managed to raise my cultivation to Late Sixth Rank just in time for today's competition."

In the courtyard, Lin Yi opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the Attribute Panel:

"Late Sixth Rank Martial Cultivation, Minor Accomplishment of Extreme Strength at 53%, and a nearly perfect Full Moon Star Saber."

"With such a foundation, I should be stable for a top three finish in this Dongshan Martial Academy competition, and there's a high chance of securing second place."

"As for first place?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yi recalled the information in his mind and then shook his head slightly:

"That's probably not possible for now."

According to the information Lin Yi obtained, the previous champion of the Dongshan Martial Academy's grand competition was a disciple named Lin Tianqing.

His Power Exertion Realm and Martial Skill realm were not much different from the other disciples in the top five. They were all at the level of Fourth-Rank Martial Art Great Accomplishment and Power Exertion Minor Accomplishment, and the distance they had covered in these two levels was even less than Lin Yi's at the moment.

However, compared to the other top five disciples, his physical aptitude was very strong! Significantly stronger!

Half a year ago, when Lin Tianqing was still more than a month away from his fourteenth birthday, his Martial Cultivation had already reached the peak of the Sixth Rank.

Relying on his peak Sixth Rank cultivation, Lin Tianqing had held the top spot for the past six months, and he used the Red Dragon Pool for the longest time each day.

Now, half a year later, although his cultivation had not reached the Martial Arts Fifth Rank, he had definitely reached the limit within the Sixth Rank!

This Martial Cultivation was almost one and a half minor realms higher than Lin Yi's.

As a result, even if Lin Yi had an advantage in the Power Exertion Realm and Martial Skill realm, he would not be Lin Tianqing's opponent in a real fight.

"But..."

"If I'm not an opponent, then so be it!"

Lin Yi's expression was calm:

"After all, my goal this time is only to enter the top three and get a spot in the Red Dragon Pool."

"As for whether I can get first place, that will be up to fate. Anyway, even if I don't get first place this time, I'll just have to wait for another month."

A month might be very short for other geniuses, not enough for them to make much improvement, but for Lin Yi, it was a qualitative change!

First, there was the Full Moon Star Saber, which would 100% break through to Great Accomplishment.

Secondly, after breaking into the top three and getting the chance to cultivate in the Red Dragon Pool.

With the terrifying energy absorption speed and upper limit of the Martial Saint Body, his cultivation speed would likely be even faster than buying pills with twenty thousand taels of silver for a month.

By then, breaking through to the peak of the Sixth Rank would be as easy as pie!

And with the Great Accomplishment level of the Full Moon Star Saber, paired with peak Sixth Rank Martial Cultivation.

Even if that Lin Tianqing was very powerful, as long as he hadn't broken through to the Martial Arts Fifth Rank, then...

Within three moves, he could be defeated!

As the thought crossed his mind, Lin Yi immediately got up, went into his room to change his clothes, and then walked straight to the Martial Arts Arena where the Dongshan Martial Academy was holding its grand competition.
