Strength Increased Again
Chapter 126 Further Improvement in Strength "Too slow, I was almost falling asleep while waiting!"
On the way back to the Jia Nan Academy, Zi Yan yawned and complained.
She's been incredibly busy these past few days!
To ensure the complete execution of Xiao Lin's plan, she practically never rested.
If the location hadn't been unsuitable, she probably would have lay down and fallen asleep on the spot.
Yes, at this moment, Zi Yan was extremely sleepy.
Of course, this wasn't just because she was tired; it was also because she had recently consumed too many medicinal herbs, causing her life level to undergo another transformation.
After this nap, there's a high chance you'll advance to the Dou Ling level.
Although Zi Yan didn't explicitly say so, how could Xiao Lin, who possessed the Heavenly Realm Soul Power, not notice it?
"Zi Yan, you should be about to break through again, right?"
Glancing at Zi Yan, who was constantly yawning beside him, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, I think so, Old Man Lin. I'm so sleepy—can you carry me?"
As she spoke, Zi Yan looked at Xiao Lin with pitiful eyes.
Xiao Lin: ".
Without saying anything more, Xiao Lin simply squatted down silently.
Then, Xiao Lin felt a petite body leaning against him from behind.
"Old Man Lin, take me back to the academy. Wait until I wake up, then we can go together again next time—sigh~."
She had barely settled onto Xiao Lin's back and hadn't even finished saying a word when Zi Yan fell asleep.
It's clear that after spending this time together, Zi Yan has come to trust Xiao Lin quite a bit.
Otherwise, how could Zi Yan, born from a magical beast, have fallen asleep so easily and without any guard in front of Xiao Lin?
It can be said that in Zi Yan's heart, Xiao Lin has now become the person she trusts most, just like First Elder Su Qian!
"This little girl—I didn't expect her to fall asleep so quickly—"
On the way back to the Jia Nan Academy carrying Zi Yan on his back, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
For the first time, Xiao Lin felt like he was taking care of a granddaughter.
You have to understand, he never put this much effort into raising his own son, Xiao Zhan!
Afterwards, Xiao Lin carried Zi Yan back to the Jia Nan Academy.
Xiao Lin wasn't particularly interested in the discussion about Yin Gu Lao, Su Mei, and Tie Wu.
In fact, just as they said, the Black Hell Alliance has already been destroyed. Even if they discovered that the herb warehouse was looted, what could they do if it wasn't the Black Hell Alliance who did it?
What's done is done. Even if they realized they'd been used, they could only grit their teeth and accept it.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the three of them; didn't the Blood Sect Master Fan Lao, or anyone else, have any suspicions?
That's obviously impossible!
After all, the biggest flaw in Xiao Lin's plan was that when the Black Hell Alliance's resources were divided up at the end, there were no medicinal herbs belonging to the various Dou Emperor- level forces.
If the Black Hell Alliance was behind all of this, how could their herbal medicine warehouse not contain herbs belonging to the various Dou Emperor- level forces?
However, since the Black Hell Alliance had already been destroyed, the leaders of the various Dou Emperor- level forces maintained only a basic tacit understanding on this matter.
Xiao Lin was no longer worried that they would suspect Jia Nan Academy.
It's just suspicion; without evidence, would they dare to turn against the Jia Nan Academy?
Besides, aren't the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley also suspects?
With three suspects, the leaders of the various Dou Emperor- level forces would only pin the blame on the Black Hell Alliance, which they had already jointly destroyed!
Anyway, after they finally divided up the Black Hell Alliance, they didn't lose out, did they?
With Xiao Lin's return to the Jia Nan Academy, this matter has now been completely settled.
Upon returning to the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Lin reported the matter to First Elder Su Qian.
After listening to Xiao Lin's report, First Elder Su Qian couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
However, seeing that Xiao Lin had carried Zi Yan back, he was now more concerned about Zi Yan's condition.
Upon realizing that Zi Yan was the same as before, only asleep because she was about to break through, First Elder Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Lin, I knew I wasn't wrong. Entrusting Zi Yan to your care was the best decision I ever made! I never imagined that Zi Yan would grow up so much in such a short time. You've really worked hard!"
After discussing the matters of the Black-Corner Region, First Elder Su Qian naturally steered the conversation back to Zi Yan.
"After spending some time with this little girl, I also gained a lot of benefits; it wasn't really hard work at all."
Xiao Lin was just telling the truth.
Putting aside Xiao Lin's later plan to weaken the overall strength of the Black-Corner Region, his mastery of Spatial Power during his time with Zi Yan skyrocketed!
At the Dou Zong stage, the degree of mastery over Spatial Power is actually the key to advancement.
It can be said that Xiao Lin's current mastery of Spatial Power is no less than that of High-Rank Dou Zong.
That's right. Give Xiao Lin some time, and he will cross the Mid-Stage Dou Zong stage without any bottlenecks and enter the High-Rank Dou Zong!
Moreover, Xiao Lin even managed to research and deduce a Void Locking Spirit Formation while spending time with Zi Yan!
From any perspective, he didn't lose out during the time he took care of Zi Yan.
"Looks like you've reaped quite a harvest lately, Old Lin?"
After looking Xiao Lin up and down, First Elder Su Qian also showed a look of sudden realization.
"It's alright. I'll probably be focusing on a longer period of cultivation to digest what I've gained. If the First Elder needs anything, I'm afraid I won't be able to help him for the time being."
Experience and training are the best ways to improve one's strength.
This has always been Xiao Lin's guiding principle.
"Don't worry, just focus on your cultivation. We can't expect a mere Dou Zong to handle everything. These Elder in the academy aren't just for show!"
Xiao Lin recently helped Zi Yan break through a major realm and weakened the overall strength of the Black-Corner Region. He has already done enough, so First Elder Su Qian certainly wouldn't be so shameless as to bother him with everything.
After handing Zi Yan over to First Elder Su Qian, Xiao Lin then left.
For the next period of time, he will be entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate diligently!
Two more years have slowly passed.
During this period, Xiao Lin would enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate whenever he had free time.
They will emerge when they are mentally exhausted.
After resting for another day or two, I will enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower again.
Despite the seemingly tedious repetition, Xiao Lin himself was completely absorbed in it.
Because during this period, his strength also improved significantly!
When Xiao Lin stepped out of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower once again, his Dou Qi cultivation had reached the level of Seven-Star Dou Zong!
At this point, Xiao Lin became the person with the highest Dou Qi cultivation in the Jia Nan Academy, second only to Dean Mang Tianchi.
Even the Qian Bai Er Lao, are only Six-Star Dou Zong at the moment.
