Entering the Spirit Sea Realm: The Wonders of "Dragon Qi"

The Class Promotion Tournament was over.

It had looked like a three-on-three match.

But everyone could see that it had actually been one against five.

And two of those five had even been Lin Jin's teammates.

Teammates who had unleashed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Class One had won.

But it had also lost.

As the homeroom teacher, Ye Yingluo had indeed not directly instructed Wang Jinxi and the other boy to act as they had.

But as their homeroom teacher,

how could she possibly evade responsibility as easily as she had imagined?

Furthermore, Lin Jin had not known beforehand that he would be competing.

Although Lin Jin had not expressed any dissatisfaction afterward,

the matter had still been brought into the open.

In the end,

Ye Yingluo was removed from her position as Class One's homeroom teacher and transferred to the Primary Department for "polishing."

It was a punishment that neither hurt nor itched.

Still, it represented the academy's stance.

After it was over, Lin Jin left the academy with Mu Xi and returned to the Blacksmith Association to recuperate.

Yes.

At some point, Mu Xi had also arrived at the Stadium.

She had personally witnessed Lin Jin's battle.

Lin Jin was currently sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

In this battle,

his Soul Power of level twenty-six had clearly placed him ahead of everyone else.

But the battle itself had not been easy.

There was no other reason; neither Tang Wulin nor Gu Yue could be judged by the standards of ordinary One Ring Spirit Masters.

And after Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their combat power had soared dramatically.

It would not have been excessive to count them as a Soul Elder.

As for Xie Xie, he had instead been the most ordinary Two-Ring Great Spirit Master.

If Lin Jin had faced any one of them alone, he believed he could have dealt with them easily.

But that obviously had not been the situation.

Still, the gains had been enormous.

As the battle ended,

what no one could see was that strands of lotus light flowed into Lin Jin's body.

Lin Jin's physical body, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power received feedback once more.

And this time, it was greater than ever before.

On the way back to the association,

the roar of waves echoed through Lin Jin's mind. Then, with a crash, something broke through a certain barrier.

Even Mu Xi, who was watching over him beside him, and the taxi driver could hear the surging sound of waves.

Both of them involuntarily looked toward the East Sea beyond the city.

Yet they found nothing.

What they did not know was that the sound had been caused by Lin Jin's Spiritual Power breaking through into the Spirit Sea Realm.

Yes.

The Spirit Sea Realm!

At nine years old, Lin Jin's Spiritual Power had already surpassed five hundred points, entering the Spirit Sea Realm!

This already counted as high-level Spiritual Power, and it was also the foundation of becoming a powerful expert.

The Spirit Sea Realm—the mind as vast as the sea.

Its range extended from five hundred to four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine points.

It spanned an enormous range.

Thus, among all Spiritual Power realms, the Spirit Sea Realm encompassed the greatest number of Spirit Masters and had the widest range.

A freak like Lin Jin could be excluded.

An anomaly like Gu Yue could also be excluded in advance.

Under normal circumstances, even among geniuses, very few could reach the Spirit Sea Realm at the level of a Five-Ring Spirit King.

It could be said that from Spirit Kings below to Spirit Douluos above,

there were those in the Spirit Sea Realm.

At the same time,

the Spirit Sea Realm also meant that one could withstand up to five Yellow Spirit Souls, or up to three Purple Spirit Souls.

Or perhaps...

one Black Spirit Soul!

In other words,

as long as Lin Jin's current body could withstand it,

he could already directly raise the Fire Elemental Sprite to ten-thousand-year spiritual power cultivation. His Spiritual Power could handle it too!

At this moment,

Lin Jin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

His Spiritual Power spread outward, allowing him to clearly sense everything around him.

The active elemental energy, the condition of his body...

as well as Mu Xi's worried emotions beside him.

And Mu Chen, who had hurried over, whose emotions had shifted from concern to shock.

As an Eight-Star Saint Artisan and a Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse,

Mu Chen's Spiritual Power had naturally already entered the Spirit Abyss Realm.

It was precisely because of this that he understood even better how difficult it was to raise one's Spiritual Power.

It was even harder than increasing one's Soul Power Level.

Yet Lin Jin was only nine years old!

Mu Chen opened his mouth, but no words came out.

After a period of contemplation, Lin Jin's Spiritual Power had already returned to his Spirit Sea.

Under the feedback from the lotus light,

the "Dragon Qi" he had gained this time was clearly even denser.

The most abundant portion had obviously come from the major shareholder, Wang Jinxi.

After he used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Dark Bone Dragon King had provided vigorous support for this investment project.

Tang Wulin, who had directly fought Lin Jin, was the second-largest shareholder.

However, Lin Jin got along well with Tang Wulin.

Therefore, Lin Jin had not intended to hurt Tang Wulin. Most of the Lotus Flower Flame's burning had targeted Tang Wulin's negative emotions,

as well as the powers within him that he still could not control.

But this had also made the golden Dragon Qi winding through Lin Jin's Spirit Sea extremely dense.

Xie Xie was the third-largest shareholder.

Although the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger were not yet "Complete Dragons," that also meant they contained more "impurities."

After a round of purification, Lin Jin naturally benefited greatly.

Gu Yue's attack this time had seemed fierce.

But because of the matter at Eastsea Park, she had actually been highly guarded against Lin Jin.

So while he had gained something from her this time, it was hardly worth mentioning.

As for Zhang Yangzi...

To put it bluntly,

if the Lotus Flower Flame had consciousness, then in its eyes, he himself was an impurity that needed to be removed—a pest with nothing to offer.

At this moment,

when Lin Jin's Spiritual Power entered his Spirit Sea, he discovered in surprise

that the "Dragon Qi" he had originally obtained from Wang Jinxi had somehow disappeared.

The various colors of Dragon Qi now swirling within were all newly acquired.

But after observing for a moment, Lin Jin understood how the original Dragon Qi had been consumed.

The Blood Lotus!

More precisely, it was the heart branded with the Blood-Colored Lotus Mark!

In this battle, he had also consumed a considerable amount of Bloodline Power.

As he adjusted his breathing and recovered now, he was restoring not only his Soul Power but also his Bloodline Power.

And as the Blood-Colored Lotus Mark had been branded into his heart,

his heart had become the core of all the Bloodline Power in his body.

On the surface, recovery took the strange form of his heart constantly pumping the Bloodline Power throughout his body, circulating it.

And it was during this process

that the Dragon Qi in his Spirit Sea was also pumped away.

Following the blood throughout his body, it circulated through his flesh.

It continuously strengthened his physical body.

At the same time,

it also made all the meridians in his body tougher and broader.

Even the Blood-Colored Lotus Mark within his heart seemed to be growing brighter through this process.

Even the Dark Gold Dreadclaw was benefiting, its quality and age limit increasing.

"If I had an endless supply of 'Dragon Qi,' wouldn't the speed at which my body improves become astonishing?"

"In that case, it might not be impossible to raise the Fire Elemental Sprite to ten thousand years before becoming a Three-Ring Spirit Venerable!"

Lin Jin's eyes lit up.

But he immediately shook his head, knowing that he was being too fanciful.

However, he quickly realized something.

"Perhaps it isn't only those with dragon-type Martial Souls who can provide this kind of lotus-light feedback."

"Maybe among the Spirit Masters I've encountered so far, only those with dragon-type Martial Souls possess enough substance for the Lotus Flower Flame to extract this kind of energy."

Lin Jin murmured softly.

"My Spiritual Power has now entered the Spirit Sea Realm."

"Perhaps I'll be able to observe the details more closely afterward."
