I'm Afraid You'll Accidentally Send Us All Flying

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Lin Xia did not rest for long and immediately devoted herself to cultivation.

Having entered the Martial Soul Avatar realm, he directly upgraded his cultivation location to the fiftieth step.

He was confident that he could cultivate himself fully in this position.

Of course, before he began his cultivation, he needed to test the results of his improved strength and see how many steps he could climb on this difficult path, so as to prepare for the final breakthrough.

As soon as Lin Xia Sea God's Light, he stopped in his tracks, a look of astonishment on his face.

He discovered that the pressure that had been permeated by the Sea God's Light seemed to have disappeared.

After stepping onto the first step, it seemed no different from being outside.

What's going on?

Has the pressure from the Sea God's Light disappeared?

No, that's impossible. The fact that our companions are still training proves that the Sea God's Light is not the problem.

With a skeptical attitude, Lin Xia continued climbing upwards.

Lin Xia only felt a slight pressure after climbing to the twentieth step, and her mind immediately cleared.

It wasn't that the pressure from the Sea God's Light had disappeared, but rather that my ability to withstand pressure had made a leap forward.

In fact, after undergoing the test of the God-given Soul Ring, Lin Xia's body once again broke through its limits, and its resistance to pressure increased dramatically.

The oppressive force of the Sea God's Light, being close to the periphery, naturally had little effect on him.

Because the pressure was negligible, Lin Xia didn't feel anything.

Continuing to climb, Lin Xia soon reached the fiftieth step.

Upon arriving here, he discovered that this location was not suitable for his cultivation, because the pressure was not yet sufficient.

The pressure here is not as intense as the pressure he experienced in the training grounds before breaking through to level 70.

Without activating his domain and with his body just recovered, Lin Xia decided to hold back somewhat during this climbing attempt.

After all, the body has just recovered, so it can't be pushed to its limits right away.

With two major areas as a backup, it will be much easier to step back.

Continuing to climb, Lin Xia soon surpassed her previous limit and reached the eighty steps.

Upon arriving here, the oppressive force of complete compression was felt once again.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xia continued upwards, only slowing down when he reached the hundredth step.

At level 101, the pressure suddenly surged to a whole new level.

Lin Xia could sense that the oppressive force here had caught up with the level he had faced when he fought with all his might before breaking through to level 70.

Keep in mind that back then he was a level 60 Soul Emperor, but now he is a true Spirit Saint.

"Interesting..."

Lin Xia's lips curled into a smile, and although she slowed her pace, she still stepped upwards with determination.

At level 110, sweat began to trickle down my forehead.

At level 120, breathing became heavy, and each time he lifted his leg, he needed to mobilize his Soul Power to fight against the omnipresent pressure.

At this point, Lin Xia finally stopped.

It wasn't that he couldn't go any higher, but rather that he clearly felt this place was sufficient as a benchmark for his current stage of cultivation.

Going any higher would be a pure waste of energy and not suitable for establishing a solid foundation.

He sat cross-legged, feeling the overwhelming pressure surrounding him, and the Soul Power within his body became exceptionally refined.

"Level 120... that's more than double my previous limit."

Lin Xia muttered to herself.

"The improvement in Martial Soul Avatar is indeed quite drastic."

Below, Xie Yue and the others also noticed Lin Xia's figure.

Seeing that he had already far surpassed everyone else's height, Hu Liena couldn't help but click her tongue.

"This guy slept for a hundred days and woke up to level 120? We're still struggling in the teens."

Xie Yue smiled bitterly.

"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring plus Martial Soul Avatar —if that kind of improvement were the same as ours, it would be a miracle."

Yan snorted but didn't say anything, though the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.

He didn't want to be left too far behind by Lin Xia.

Lin Xia cultivated on the 120th step for a full hour.

When he opened his eyes again, a glint of shrewdness flashed in them.

Not only has the Soul Power within his body been completely stabilized at level 73, but there is even a faint feeling of improvement.

"It works well."

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and his joints cracked.

As I turned and walked down, the pressure gradually lessened, as if I were surfacing from the deep sea.

When he returned to the vicinity of the fortieth step, he found that his companions had all stopped cultivating and were sitting together, waiting for him.

"How about it?"

Xie Yue spoke first.

"Good."

Lin Xia stretched her neck.

"Level 120 is barely enough for cultivation; going any higher becomes a bit difficult. However, it's just right for stabilizing one's cultivation level."

"Level 120..."

Dugu Yan repeated the number, her lips twitching.

You call that 'not bad'?

Lin Xia shrugged.

"It's not a sprint, take it slow."

Are you hungry?

Ye Lingling asked a question, her voice still cool and aloof, but her eyes showed concern.

Lin Xia touched her stomach, about to say "I'm not hungry," when her stomach let out a loud growl.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Alright, let's go."

Yan patted his bottom and stood up.

"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you should fill your stomach first before thinking about cultivation."

Lin Xia was surrounded by people as she descended the steps.

The sea breeze blowing Ring Sea carries a salty, damp scent, mixed with the unique sacredness of Sea God Island.

The group found a relatively flat area on the reef, took out some dry food and water, and had a simple meal.

"On another note,"

Hu Liena asked, her mouth full of dried meat, her words muffled.

"How much has your combat power improved since then?"

"It's hard to say."

Lin Xia thought about it carefully.

"I've never actually fought one, so I'm not sure myself. But..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"How about we try again?"

Xie Yue's eyes lit up.

"Now?"

"Now."

Lin Xia stood up and patted the crumbs off her hands.

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well stretch my muscles."

Yan immediately perked up.

I've wanted to beat you up for ages!

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

Lin Xia smiled and took a few steps back, creating some distance.

"Come on, let's all attack together, don't waste time."

Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

A fighting spirit flickered in Dugu Yan's purple eyes, while Ye Lingling silently took a few steps back, ready to provide treatment at any moment.

The five people quickly dispersed, forming an encirclement.

Lin Xia stood in the center, feeling the surging level 73 Soul Power within her body, a confident smile curving her lips.

"Ready?"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Yan launched the first attack, his dark red flames instantly covering his entire body, making him resemble a burning meteorite as he charged towards Lin Xia!

Lin Xia did not dodge, nor did she summon her Martial Soul.

He simply raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently pushed it towards Yan.

Boom!

A condensed emerald green beam of light burst forth from his palm, colliding head-on with Yan's charge!

The shockwave exploded, sending waves several meters high ripples across the surface of the Ring Sea.

Yan was blasted away, tumbling several times in the air before landing awkwardly on the sea. He glided for more than ten meters before regaining his balance.

"Holy crap?!"

Yan stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Lin Xia was also taken aback for a moment, then looked down at her hands.

"Uh... maybe I used too much force?"

Everyone fell silent.

After a long pause, Xie Yue finally spoke Youyou.

"You'd better not make a move. I'm afraid you might accidentally send us all to our deaths."
