Collecting Commander-level Spirit Essences! Azure Profound Fierce Fist Nine Flame Dragons! The Terror of a Level Five Fierce Fist!

Back at the villa.

"Brother Lin Yu, you weren't hurt, were you?"

Ye Xin Xia looked at Lin Yu and asked directly.

"Xin Xia, you've already asked that several times."

Lin Yu looked helplessly at Ye Xin Xia before him. This girl was worrying far too much!

What could possibly have happened to him?

What she ought to worry about was whether the Black Vatican's bones had all been melted away.

Still, she was worried about him, so it was understandable!

"Were those people just now from the Black Vatican?"

Mu Nu Jiao had not asked along the way. She only raised the question after they returned.

"Mm, every one of them!"

"Some damned bastards!"

"Every one I encounter, I'll kill."

At the mention of it, an extreme killing intent appeared on Lin Yu's face, and his Killing Intent thickened.

He would never forget Bo City.

Mu Nu Jiao and Ai Tu Tu were both frightened by this side of Lin Yu.

They had never seen him like this before.

Xin Xia, however, tugged lightly on Lin Yu's sleeve.

"Enough."

"You don't need to worry too much."

"They won't be able to stir up much trouble in the end."

Lin Yu then came back to his senses and restrained his aura.

A smile returned to his face as well.

Through this battle, he had experienced the power of the Level Four Fierce Fist.

Each of the Nine Flame Flood Dragons was an incomparably domineering force, with power comparable to a Fierce Fist: Sky-Scorching!

The result of strengthening it with forty-nine Servant-level Spirit Essences had truly been worth every bit of the cost!

Of course, only Lin Yu could strengthen it so extravagantly.

If others wanted to strengthen theirs, the cost would be far too great. It simply would not be worth it for them.

After all, with that money, they could buy three Star River Veins. If they were lucky, they might even advance all Three Elements to the high tier.

Why would they trade that for a somewhat stronger Intermediate Magic?

"Go get some rest!"

"It's nothing serious!"

"Tomorrow, I'll have you look into the Shadow Beast."

"Find out whose hands it's in."

Lin Yu then smiled and spoke directly to the girls.

"And you too. There are plenty of rooms here. Stay the night, then return to Azure Hunter's Lodge tomorrow!"

Naturally, Ling Ling was also kept behind by Lin Yu without any surprise.

No matter how smart Ling Ling was, she was still far too young!

Lin Yu could not rest easy otherwise.

Ling Ling glanced at Lin Yu and nodded.

That night, Ling Ling frowned at the sound of a knock on her door.

"Come in!"

"Good thing I trusted you and didn't take you for a pervert."

"Otherwise, I'd have called the police long ago."

Ling Ling rolled her eyes at Lin Yu. She had known he was up to something sneaky.

"Isn't there something I need to discuss that wouldn't be convenient for them to know?"

"I trust you a great deal, my partner!"

Lin Yu entered with a smile and looked at Ling Ling.

"What is it?"

Ling Ling looked curiously at Lin Yu, her eyes full of curiosity.

What could require him to hide it from everyone else?

"Help me gather seven Commander-level Spirit Essences!"

Lin Yu looked at Ling Ling with a smile and said it directly.

"You want Commander-level Spirit Essences?!"

Ling Ling nearly cried out.

"Mm, I feel that I'm still not strong enough."

"I've only just broken through to the third level of the intermediate tier, so I can't reach the high tier anytime soon."

"So I need other ways to increase my strength!"

"Strengthening Star Particles is the simplest way!"

Lin Yu looked at her cheerfully and spoke directly.

"Just how much money do you have?"

"You even want to strengthen Star Particles? Level 6 Fire Seed? Who would dare even think of that?"

Ling Ling could not help but exclaim. Lin Yu was simply too absurd!

"Just help me gather them. Then I can take you on more high-difficulty missions."

"Your Hunter Master title might even become Hunter King by then!"

Lin Yu looked at her with a smile.

"Fine, fine!"

"You're just dangling a carrot in front of me."

Ling Ling rolled her eyes at Lin Yu.

"As for the money, seven Commander-level Spirit Essences, assuming ordinary quality, at two hundred million each—"

"That's 1.4 billion!"

"First help me sell these two hundred Servant-level Spirit Essences. If it isn't enough, ask me for more."

Lin Yu spoke to Ling Ling, then pulled out an enormous Soul Storage Vessel.

The soul power contained within it was nearly off the charts!

"I... y-you...!"

This left Ling Ling so shocked that she could not speak.

Her eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Lin Yu across from her.

Two hundred Servant-level Spirit Essences! Where had Lin Yu gone to slaughter an entire Demon tribe?

Besides, even if he had wiped out an entire tribe, how could his luck possibly have been this heaven-defying?

"Ling Ling, I trust you very much!"

"I believe you'll help me."

"And that you'll keep this secret for me!"

Lin Yu had considered secretly finding a channel to sell them himself.

That way, he would not expose himself.

But that would have been too troublesome, and Lin Yu had no such connections.

Azure Hunter's Lodge was different. They definitely had channels like that, and selling an extra two hundred Servant-level Spirit Essences would not easily arouse suspicion.

"Alright, alright."

And so, Ling Ling dazedly accepted the two hundred Servant-level Spirit Essences from Lin Yu.

She had not even fully processed it yet.

The next day, after Lin Yu opened his eyes.

His consciousness entered his Spiritual Universe.

Looking at the Spirit Essences suspended high above, Lin Yu's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Spirit Essence count: 546 Servant-level Spirit Essences, 165 General-level Spirit Essences!

One more General-level Spirit Essence. Nice.

After nodding, Lin Yu left his room with a broad smile.

Just then, he happened to run into Ai Tu Tu rushing excitedly toward him.

"Lin Yu, there's news, there's news!"

"The Shadow Beast has been found! I heard it'll be sent into that Iron Cage tonight!"

"So? So? When are we going to snatch it?"

Ai Tu Tu looked at Lin Yu and spoke directly, excitement written all over her face.

Then Lin Yu saw Mu Nu Jiao and Ye Xin Xia arriving as well.

Clearly, their eyes held the same excitement.

Resources were meant to be seized, after all. And this was an opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower!

Even the old students of the Main Campus had gone to great lengths to obtain a chance to enter the Three-Step Tower!

"Then we'll wait until tonight!"

"We'll make our move then!"

Lin Yu looked at the three of them and spoke directly.

Naturally, the three girls had no objections and nodded as well.

Nightfall!

Within the Green Campus of Pearl Institute.

"These little ones really are full of energy!"

Dean Xiao stood atop a hill, watching them fight over the Shadow Beast, a smile appearing on his face.

"Mm? That boy Lin Yu has come too."

Dean Xiao watched another group enter the Night Dominance Great Array and spoke directly.

The other Department Heads behind him looked surprised.

Lin Yu's reputation was quite well-known, though it was all negative.

Everyone said he was a nouveau riche!

"What a pity. I'm only the Fire Department Head of the Green Campus!"

"This student won't remain under me for long!"

The Fire Department Head looked sorrowfully at Lin Yu's figure and sighed.

"Could these people be planning to join forces against Lin Yu?"

At that moment, the Fire Department Head asked worriedly.

"Join forces? Would joining forces be enough to deal with him?"

"I'm not so sure!"

The Department Heads from the other departments were also startled by Dean Xiao's words.

Even joining forces would not be enough? Just because of his Level Five Fire Seed?

"Dean Xiao, you're underestimating our other students!"

"More than a thousand Advanced Mages are here. Though half of them can't cast Intermediate Magic—"

"Even five hundred Intermediate Magics aren't something Lin Yu's Level Five Fire Seed can contend with!"

"A nouveau riche is still a nouveau riche!"

"He has none of an aristocratic family's foundation!"

A woman spoke disdainfully. She was from the Bai Family, Bai Cang Feng's aunt.

She was extremely disdainful of Lin Yu's actions. He was merely a young man with exceptionally good luck.

He had no idea how precious Spirit Essences were!

He actually used them to strengthen Star Particles? Didn't he know that upon reaching the intermediate tier, one could wield Intermediate Magic from two Elements?

Wouldn't that be far stronger than his Level Five Fire Seed?

"Just watch quietly!"

Dean Xiao did not respond to her and merely watched the Night Dominance Great Array in silence.

Seeing this, the woman said nothing more.

Yet her face still held disdain for Lin Yu.

Elsewhere, Lin Yu led the three girls directly into the Night Dominance Great Array.

Seeing the darkness of night all around them.

Lin Yu inwardly praised the academy for having thought things through.

"So, is there a problem?"

Ai Tu Tu looked worriedly at Lin Yu. She feared that his strength had been heavily suppressed.

"Don't worry. Even if I'm suppressed, those people still aren't my opponents!"

Lin Yu spoke directly, confidence on his face.

Hearing that, Ai Tu Tu immediately smiled.

Along the way, Lin Yu and the others ran into quite a few students.

However, the moment they saw Lin Yu, every one of them fled in panic.

"The news of my arrival has probably spread already!"

"Those guys will be focusing their fire on me soon!"

"When that happens, just stay farther away from me."

Lin Yu looked at the three women beside him and spoke directly.

"Don't worry, we won't hold you back."

They nodded at once, showing their agreement.

They had complete confidence in Lin Yu's strength.

In the plaza, Lin Yu looked at the traces of magic all around and the large iron cage.

Lin Yu swept his gaze across the area, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Perfect. I'll use you guys to test out my Spirit Seed!"

"Purple Origin · Raging Waves · Surging Tide!"

Around Lin Yu, Water Element Star Tracks formed a blue Water Element Star Chart!

In an instant, countless water elements gathered. Under the threefold boost to his magic's power—

A terrifying wave surged straight toward the darkness!

Cries of alarm immediately rang out from within the darkness!

"Damn it, how does his Water Element have a Spirit Seed too?!"

"Not good, his Water Element has reached the second level!"

"Damn it, what are we supposed to do?!"

"I don't know!"

"God, why is his cultivation speed so absurdly fast?!"

Pained wails from the students rose from the darkness.

They had never expected Lin Yu to discover them ahead of time, much less unleash such a terrifying Intermediate Water Element Magic.

More importantly, Lin Yu actually had a Spirit Seed for his Water Element too!

Everyone knew that Lin Yu's strongest element was the Fire Department!

"Are you convinced now?"

Lin Yu smiled at the surrounding night and spoke, amusement in his eyes.

"Not convinced!"

"Just you wait, Lin Yu!"

"There are so many of us. We'll wear you down with a war of attrition!"

"Just wait!"

Voices rang out from the night. It was clear that their words were filled with even more defiance.

"That works too. I just happened to acquire a new power!"

"You normally wouldn't get to see it!"

"This is the perfect chance for me to test it out!"

After saying that, Lin Yu's expression became incomparably solemn.

Mu Nu Jiao, Ye Xin Xia, and the other woman sensed the terrifying magic energy around Lin Yu and all chose to move away!

On that hilltop!

"What intense Fire Element Magic Energy!"

"That Lin Yu!"

Even through the Night Dominance Great Array, Dean Xiao could see faint firelight glowing within the dark barrier.

This was already within the scope of a domain. Could Fire Element Magic Energy really still be this powerful?

Within the array, Lin Yu's cold shout rang out!

"Azure Profound Fierce Fist Nine Flame Dragons!"

As Lin Yu spoke, an incomparably dazzling Fire Element Star Chart appeared around him, as though it could illuminate the entire night.

The Star Particles within the Star Chart gave off incomparably brilliant light.

The Star Chart formed, and Nine Azure Flame Dragons, each twenty meters long, instantly shot out from behind Lin Yu.

They seemed to soar into the heavens, illuminating the entire world.

Even within the Night Dominance Great Array, those Nine Flame Dragons were like nine suns, directly lighting up the earth.

All the students could clearly see the shock in one another's eyes!

"Is that fucking Blazing Fist?!"

"Mom! Save me!"

"What do we do? What do we do?!"

"Cast defensive magic!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Unfortunately, defensive magic seemed useless!

Rumble! Rumble!

The Nine Azure Flame Dragons crashed straight down toward the ground. Their so-called defensive magic could not even withstand the aftershock of the explosions.

They all shattered!

Once the explosions ended, the enormous craters left behind by the Nine Flame Dragons could be clearly seen!

Quite a few students had already fainted!

"Everyone, are you still going to make a move?"

Lin Yu raised one hand and examined it carefully. The Fire Element Magic Energy around his body seemed to gather once more!

"No, Brother Lin!"

"We were wrong. We won't snatch it anymore!"

"Right, right, right! We won't snatch it anymore!"

Voices rose from the night. Many people looked at the nine craters, lingering fear still in their hearts.

How could they possibly withstand such terrifying magic power?

And this was even under the suppressive force of the Night Dominance Great Array.

"Throw the Shadow Beast into the iron cage. We're taking first place."

Lin Yu smiled and spoke directly to Ai Tu Tu.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Ai Tu Tu and Mu Nu Jiao had clearly not recovered from the shock either, nodding numbly.

Even after they left the Night Dominance Great Array, they were still thinking about those Nine Azure Flame Dragons.
