Cultivation

"This is indeed a rather good method."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly at this, her gaze carrying a hint of determination.

"For me, fighting within the Sea of Consciousness might have been more satisfying, but since you have all made the arrangements, I have nothing more to say. Yuhao, I will have to trouble you to create a Sea of Consciousness."

"Yes!"

Huo Yuhao nodded respectfully. After closing his eyes and contemplating for a long while, he opened them again, and a Sea of Consciousness as vast as the universe appeared before Bibi Dong and Lin Yi.

Moreover, because Huo Yuhao was now in perfect sync with his eight million-year Soul Rings, he could freely expand and shrink the Sea of Consciousness once it was created.

"Do you dare to enter?"

Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yi with a hint of provocation, but Lin Yi merely smiled calmly.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Since I have prepared myself to spar with a senior, I never intended to retreat. Although it is a bit dangerous, how will I know if I can break through my own limits if I don't try?"

"Very good."

Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction.

"Worthy of being the disciple Xiaogang took a fancy to; you have some backbone. In that case, follow me inside."

"Yes!"

Once they entered the Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao activated his third Eye of Destiny. "Everyone can watch their battle through my Eye of Destiny."

"This is truly convenient."

Liu Erlong smiled calmly, stretched her arms, and let out a huff.

"If their fight isn't intense enough, you can let me in later; I want to test my skills as well."

"Understood, Senior Erlong."

Bibi Dong and Lin Yi, inside the Sea of Consciousness, could not hear the voices from the outside.

They looked at each other, their expressions cold and indifferent.

Bibi Dong gazed at the little fellow before her, feeling genuinely impressed by him.

Even at a time like this, he could remain so composed; it seemed his courage was not ordinary.

Slowly releasing her Spider Emperor Martial Soul, Bibi Dong's eyes became much more confident.

"Lin Yi, have you prepared yourself for the realization?"

"I have never known what 'realization' means; I only know how to forge ahead! First Soul Skill—Dragon Binding!"

When Bibi Dong saw the God Ring soul skill Lin Yi released, she only smiled faintly, then released her Martial Soul True Body—Blood-Devouring Spider Emperor.

Damn!

When Lin Yi saw the noble, classical beauty Bibi Dong transform into a half-human, half-spider creature, he hesitated for a split second, and it was in that brief moment that Bibi Dong sent him flying with a single strike.

Before he could even release his second soul skill, Bibi Dong had already unleashed her sixth soul skill, Eternal Wound.

The strike pierced Lin Yi's left shoulder directly, but because they were within the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Yi did not feel much pain, and the wound healed rapidly.

However, this exchange made Lin Yi realize he had been too careless.

"How was that?"

A touch of arrogance appeared on Bibi Dong's face, her cold eyes filled with a hint of triumph.

"Lin Yi, although you are the successor of the Dragon God, if you do not use your full strength against me, you cannot win. To face the Giant Shark Beast with such ability is undoubtedly throwing your life away."

"Then, what should I do?"

Lin Yi's attitude was very humble at this moment; he bowed toward Bibi Dong.

"Senior, I know I became a bit complacent after my battle with Di Tian, but please listen to me—I didn't do it on purpose. I intended to use my third soul skill, but I was afraid of hurting you, so..."

"Foolish!"

Bibi Dong scolded him directly.

"You should know that when choosing a soul skill, you must never hesitate. Once you hesitate, you give your opponent the chance for a fatal blow. And you tell me this was just a moment of confusion?"

"I..."

Lin Yi lowered his head again. He knew in his heart that he had been careless, and this reprimand was deserved.

However, Bibi Dong quickly put away her stern expression and spoke again.

"Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, This Seat has made mistakes in the past, but Xiaogang and Erlong never shunned me; they still accepted me. So, what I want to tell you now is that you must find your drive again."

Lin Yi's eyes steadied instantly, and he pursed his lips into a smile.

"Yes! Senior, I will certainly do as you say. However, are you sure you didn't fall for a trap?"

Bibi Dong was slightly startled, but she quickly felt a fluctuation of Soul Power beneath her feet.

"Eighth Soul Skill—Invincible Golden Body!"

Bibi Dong instantly activated her invincible mode, but her body was still sent flying by Lin Yi's fourth soul skill—Dragon at the End of the World.

Compared to the previous three soul skills, Bibi Dong felt that Lin Yi's power was indeed increasing incrementally, and from his control over each ability, she could feel that this boy was slowly mastering how to utilize his soul skills.

Bibi Dong retracted the power of the Blood-Devouring Spider Emperor and switched to her second martial soul.

Although her second martial soul was also a spider, its advantage lay in speed.

"First Soul Skill—Demon Spider Covering the Sky!"

"Fifth Soul Skill—Dragon's Blade!"

A golden light flashed, and the spiders in the air were sliced into fragments, but Lin Yi knew it wasn't over yet.

Sure enough, a smile curled at the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth once more.

"Second Soul Skill—Spider Web Cage!"
