Ye Lin's High-Intensity Daily Cultivation

The blade descended, and the immense force sent him tumbling heavily to the ground.

On the other two sides, the sounds of clashing metal rang out incessantly; that was the rapid-fire assault of Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Hundred Claws.

Then there was the fierce, head-on collision between Dai Mubai and a clone of Ye Lin.

Every impact produced a deafening clang.

"Xiao Wu, your teleportation is useless here."

Ye Lin's body descended rapidly, setting Xiao Wu down safely on the ground.

Falling from the sky just the same, and both being girls, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were treated with a stark difference.

The first target of Ye Lin's main body was not the strongest, Dai Mubai, nor was it Zhu Zhuqing, who was being somewhat suppressed; it was Ma Hongjun, who was being relentlessly attacked by two clones.

She stepped forward quickly and slashed out with her sword.

A massive tear appeared instantly in Ma Hongjun's clothes; had the strike been any heavier, he would have lost his life as well.

After dealing with Ma Hongjun, she turned back to handle Dai Mubai.

She brought her sword down, and the tremendous force instantly pinned him to the ground, forcing his knees to bend.

As Ye Lin continued to increase the pressure, Dai Mubai's right knee hit the ground with a thud, and he knelt on one leg, struggling to hold on.

"So strong!"

"I yield!"

Ye Lin smiled faintly and withdrew her sword.

On the other side, things had just concluded as well; Zhu Zhuqing had been defeated.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

The sound of Flender's applause rang out as he walked slowly toward them.

"Tell me your thoughts."

Dai Mubai and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Finally, it was Ma Hongjun who spoke up, "A sense of powerlessness—a very strong sense of powerlessness. We were no match for her at all."

"We were basically being toyed with by Sister Ye Lin, and that was even with her holding back. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lasted a single exchange."

The others lowered their heads; this could be called a total slaughter, being completely crushed by one person.

"Hahaha,"

Flender laughed, "You don't need to be discouraged."

"Ye Lin's strength is a certainty; she works harder than all of you combined."

"She spends at least four-fifths of her day cultivating—nearly twenty hours a day. I ask you, who among you can do that?"

Hearing Flender's words, everyone except Xiao Wu, who was already in the know, stared at Ye Lin with wide eyes.

"That much!"

Ma Hongjun gulped.

"Sister Ye Lin, are you that crazy?"

After hearing Flender's words, a look of contemplation appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she finally clenched her fists tightly.

"There is a saying that goes, 'diligence can make up for a lack of talent.'"

"But that phrase doesn't apply to Ye Lin. While she is diligent, she is not lacking; her talent and the strength of her martial soul are the highest among you all."

"You know little about sword-type martial souls, but I believe one of you knows quite a lot."

Flender looked at Ning Rongrong, "How does Ye Lin's sword compare to the Seven Kill Sword?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I cannot compare them."

Flender smiled immediately.

"The rest of you might not know what the Seven Kill Sword is, but I will say this: the wielder of the Seven Kill Sword is a level 95 Titled Douluo!"

Flender's meaning was clear: Ye Lin possessed the talent to grow into a Super Douluo!

"So, what excuse do you have not to work hard?"

After finishing his pep talk, he began to critique the battle that had just taken place.

"There were problematic areas in your performance, but there were also things you did quite well."

"Oscar, you were able to hand the prepared Flying Mushroom Sausage to Ning Rongrong at the first opportunity to ensure both of your safety; that was very good. However, you should also prepare recovery sausages to give to the others to ensure their soul power is restored. You are a food-type soul master, which is different from a conventional support-type soul master."

"Ning Rongrong, you chose to apply your attribute buffs to the three of them, which was correct. However, when Ye Lin launched her surprise attack, you didn't quickly apply soul power buffs to yourself and Oscar. Although you wouldn't have been able to dodge Ye Lin's pursuit even if you had, you must never give up."

"Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, your intentions were good—to take the initiative to attack—but don't forget, neither of you has the ability to fly. Once you are in the air, you are both sitting ducks."

"Mubai, your performance was standard."

"However, Ma Hongjun, your problems were significant."

Flender's gaze suddenly turned stern.

Ma Hongjun was instantly stunned.

The others were also a bit confused; where exactly did he go wrong?

Flender's voice was cold.

"Did you not sense that the two clones attacking you had no offensive power?"

"Ah!"

Ma Hongjun froze in place!

He recalled the moment carefully, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

Those two clones hadn't dealt a shred of damage; only the final sword strike had caused any harm.

"If you had helped Dai Mubai take care of the other clone at the very first moment, and then gone to assist Zhu Zhuqing, you would have held out for much longer."

Ma Hongjun lowered his head immediately; it was true, this mistake was far too significant.

"Ye Lin,"

Finally, Flender's gaze fell upon Ye Lin.

He thought and thought but didn't know what to say; other than the fact that she had clearly gone easy on them during the fight, there didn't seem to be any issues.

He looked at Ye Lin's two yellow Spirit Rings and kept asking himself in his heart:

Are these really just two-hundred-year Spirit Rings?

This power was not inferior to a thousand-year Spirit Ring in the slightest, perhaps even higher.

"Well done, you have my praise."

Ye Lin smiled lightly. She didn't consider herself a vain person, but at this moment, she had to admit that being praised still made her feel very happy.

"What is your second spirit ability? As teammates, they should be aware of it."

Ye Lin nodded.

"My second spirit ability, Shadow of Black and White, can generate two clones. Each clone possesses fifty percent of my attack power and lasts for five minutes. The two clones can release Shadow of Black and White again, though their attack power is extremely low, their duration follows the main clones, and their defensive capabilities are the same as mine."

Oscar was extremely astonished.

"The effect of this spirit ability is a bit too powerful, isn't it?"

"Four clones lasting for five minutes—even without attack power, these are four incredibly formidable meat shields."

Ye Lin smiled. "It was just good luck."

"The External Spirit Bone on my back, the Eight God Wings, was obtained by accident while absorbing my second Spirit Ring. It grants me the ability to fly, while also providing decent combat capabilities and the power to purify and heal."

The others were almost crying from envy.

"Sister Lin, your luck is just too good."

Flender stopped them from continuing.

"That's enough. Keep Ye Lin's External Spirit Bone a secret. It is forbidden to tell anyone, remember—anyone!"

"Now, go back and rest. Recover your condition; tonight, we head to the Soto Great Soul Arena."

"Yes!"
