Bathed in the glow of the rewards from the Heavenly Ladder Trial, Lin Yi continuously organized his martial arts resources, studying how the body's Qi-Blood were generated, how Qi-Blood were converted into True Qi upon awakening, and the pathways of the body's meridians...
Information such as these kept combining and converging in Lin Yi's mind.
Currently, although Lin Yi possesses the complete Martial Saint inheritances from both realms in his mind, integrating the advantages of these two into his own martial arts is not an easy task.
The rewards for the seventh level of the Heavenly Ladder Trial were about to end, and Lin Yi felt an important flash of inspiration pass through his mind.
Clearly, he's still missing something.
Now he can't wait to challenge the next level and refine the ideas in his mind.
Next, Lin Yi Yiluo faced the challenge of the eighth level of martial arts.
The one before us is no longer two-star Demon King, but a true Three Stars Monster King.
This is a deep-sea monster, resembling a hippopotamus, but with wings on its back, possessing the ability to control Water Manipulation and wind.
With a roar, it sent towering waves of the river rushing towards Lin Yi.
"How dare you! Trying to teach a fish to swim in front of me!"
Lin Yi sneered and with a flick of his wrist, he instantly stopped the towering waves, turning the Winged Hippo Monster King around to its astonishment.
Splash!
The Winged Hippo's pupils contracted coldly, and it hurriedly flapped its wings to fly high, but it was still dragged into the depths of the lake by the surging waves.
roar!!
Its unwilling roar.
He was greeted by Lin Yi's fist, which radiated golden light.
Half a minute later, this Winged Hippo was also one of the best among the Three Stars Monster King, was smashed to death by Lin Yi in the water with his fist.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Descender for successfully completing the challenge! You are now receiving the blessing reward!"
At this moment, an even more intense beam of light shone down, and Lin Yi immediately closed his eyes and began to comprehend it without hesitation.
As the beam of light dissipated, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, as if a sharp glint of light shot out from them.
His path to becoming Martial Saint has been initially successful!
With a push of his palm, a miniature deer emerged.
This miniature deer differs in appearance from Lin Yi's Fuzhu; its entire body is covered in seven-colored light, and its back is covered with multicolored spots.
Two of the larger spots resembled golden light and the sun, which were Lin Yi's strongest blue martial arts techniques: the Sun Chasing Sword Technique and the Golden Light True Qi Art.
Secondly, there are spots composed of various Martial Dao Will such as the Starfall Archery and the Long Rainbow Sword Technique, surrounding these two spots.
This deer is Lin Yi's original Martial Spirit, which is a fusion of the Martial Dao Will.
Lin Yi didn't know the rank of this Martial Spirit, but he figured that even if it couldn't compare to the strongest Destined Martial Spirit in the Gap World, it wouldn't be far off.
Most importantly, Lin Yi's Martial Spirit can be dispersed or gathered.
It should be understood that the Martial Spirit in the Gap World is the condensation of Warrior's essence, energy, and spirit. Once formed, it means that one can only follow the path of the Martial Spirit and can no longer use the ladder-climbing method to break through to the Martial Saint.
However, Lin Yi's initial Martial Spirit did not have this drawback.
This means that Lin Yi has made initial improvements to the Martial Saint Method of the Gap World.
If martial artists from the Gap World were to learn of this, they would likely flock to Blue Star, all seeking out this method from Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi also realized that his Martial Spirit was much smaller compared to Ji Fengyu and the others.
He had seen Ji Fengyu's Black Bear, which was over two meters tall in its complete form, while his Martial Spirit deer was only the size of two palms.
Is this stunted growth, or is there a flaw in his method?
Lin Yi frowned in thought, knowing that the Heavenly Ladder Trial wouldn't give him any time.
The scene before him flipped, and Lin Yi found himself in the ninth level of the martial Trial.
Before him lay a world of ice and snow, with endless snow-capped mountains stretching into the distance. Snowflakes drifted down from the sky like geese, and even with Lin Yi's strong physique, he felt an endless chill penetrating his skin and seeping into his lungs.
"These Trial Grounds are places where survival is impossible!"
Lin Yi sighed and then used golden light to protect his body from the incoming cold air.
At that moment, a deafening dragon's roar echoed from a towering, cloud-shrouded snow-capped mountain.
Amidst Flash Thunder, a gigantic, multicolored Giant Dragon emerged from the clouds, revealing its ferocious head.
This Ice Dragon resembles a Western Giant Dragon, similar to the Three-Star Fire Dragon in the secret realm of Mount Tianzhu, but twice the size. Its spine is covered with sharp ice spikes, and its body is protected by snow-white scales.
Upon spotting Lin Yi, this complete stranger, it roared and charged forward.
" Four-Star Profession Monster King, and a dragon-type Monster that can control ice at that! This has significantly increased the difficulty for me!"
Although Lin Yi was slightly surprised, he was not afraid.
Even without weapons, he is a formidable opponent among Four-Star Profession.
Accompanied by the roar of a dragon, the nearby snow-capped mountains trembled, and an overwhelming avalanche had already begun.
The accumulated snow poured down like a towering wave.
Seeing that the ground was not conducive to fighting, Lin Yi once again transformed into a golden light that shot into the sky, then flew away in the mist and landed directly on the back of the Frost Giant Dragon.
Lin Yi flicked his golden Coiling Dragon Finger, and with a hissing sound, the sharp Golden Light True Qi was repelled, leaving only a mark on the dragon scales.
"Such tough scales!"
The Frost Giant Dragon roared, flapped its wings, turned its head, and lunged to bite, while a chilling aura of frost spewed from its mouth.
Lin Yi used the golden light as a giant shield to defend against it.
A large amount of icy cold air washed over the golden light shield, causing countless sharp ice spikes to instantly condense on its surface.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and, with a thought, a cloud of Water Vapor condensed at the mouth of the Frost Giant Dragon, turning into Xuanbing (mysterious Mystic Ice ).
Because its mouth was frozen, the Frost Giant Dragon kept shaking its head, trying to shatter the Mystic Ice on its mouth.
But Lin Yi was not about to give it that chance.
The next moment, a flash of crimson light appeared, and Lin Yi brought his fist down.
The Frost Giant Dragon, having withstood the Crimson Blood Fist, let out a miserable scream and plummeted from the sky like a crashing plane.
Boom!
The Frost Giant Dragon smashed a huge crater in the snowdrift.
Lin Yi once again delivered close-range punches, repeatedly striking his head.
Since there are no weapons, the only way to finish them off is with fists!
Thump! Thump!
In a few breaths, Lin Yi threw several punches.
The Frost Giant Dragon tried several times to struggle and resist, flapping its wings, but its wings were directly sealed by Lin Yi's Xuanbing Mystic Ice, and it could not move at all.
A few minutes later, Lin Yi's fists were covered in warm dragon blood.
On the snow, the once arrogant Giant Dragon's head was smashed open like a watermelon, and it was dead beyond any doubt.
"As expected of four-star Demon King, his health bar is really thick. He withstood almost forty of my punches before dying!"
After shaking off the sticky dragon blood from his hands, Lin Yi found a clean spot, sat cross-legged, and waited for the pillar of light in the sky.
However, a few seconds later, no unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky.
Lin Yi looked up.
How do I reply?
What are the rewards for clearing the ladder?
As Lin Yi frowned, he saw the enormous Frost Giant Dragon corpse vanish in a flash of white light, leaving behind a white Dragon Pearl radiating a chilling aura.
So, is this a physical reward?
Lin Yi picked up the Dragon Pearl, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.
But overall, he preferred the reward for clearing the level to be a pillar of light, since his Martial Saint Fusion Method was still not perfect.
Lin Yi picked up the Dragon Pearl, but before he could examine it closely, the scene flipped again, and he arrived at the tenth level of the Martial Artist's Heavenly Ladder Trial.
Unlike the previous venue, Lin Yi appeared in a room.
The room was square, with antique-style wooden floors and beams. It seemed to be a martial arts dojo, with some weapons displayed on both sides.
The martial arts hall is only about half the size of a basketball court, and with the weapon racks on both sides, it gives people a cramped and narrow feeling.
As Lin Yi was investigating, he saw a dark shadow materialize.
"Challengers, come on!"
The shadowy figure was obscured, but judging from the voice, it seemed to be an elderly martial artist.
Perhaps seeing that Lin Yi had no weapon, the shadowy figure also came empty-handed.
Although it was just an ordinary punch, Lin Yi Startle Awakening and felt a huge crisis looming over him.
Immediately, Lin Yi kicked the Dragon Pearl in his hand to the corner and used the Crimson Blood Fist to fight his enemy.
Thump! Thump!
The two fists collided with a dull thud.
All other forces seemed to be suppressed.
Lin Yi took a few steps back, sensing that the dark figure was at least one of the best among professional Four-star Warrior.
How come he encountered such a troublesome opponent when he had only reached the tenth level of the Heavenly Ladder, which should only be the realm of a beginner Four-star Warrior?
Could it be that I progressed too quickly, causing the difficulty to increase?
Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Yi unleashed the Crimson Blood Fist once more, engaging in a fierce battle with the shadowy warrior who had become a blur within the narrow martial arts hall.
Thump! Thump!
With a crisp crack of fists, the two exchanged more than ten blows in just a few breaths.
Crimson Blood Fist is a brute force fist technique. The stronger the physical body and the more abundant the True Qi, the greater the power!
At this moment, Lin Yi unleashed the Crimson Blood Fist with all his might, charging forward like a wild horse, his fist carrying the whistling sound of wind as he aimed for the heart of the shadowy warrior.
However, the shadowy warrior was experienced and composed. He slightly shifted his body, narrowly avoiding the powerful blow. At the same time, he threw a backhand punch, elegant and fierce, aimed at Lin Yi's face.
A golden light emanated from Lin Yi's abdomen, enveloping him and blocking the punch.
"This martial art... is interesting?"
The shadowy warrior seemed to be quite intelligent; a hint of surprise flashed in his voice before he attacked again.
In the following minutes, Lin Yi and the shadowy warrior exchanged blows in a space of only two square meters, constantly displaying various martial arts techniques.
Two figures weaved through the interplay of light and shadow, sometimes merging into one, sometimes quickly separating, leaving behind streaks of gold and black afterimages.
Even though the fight between the two was quite intense, the wooden planks and other facilities inside the martial arts school remained completely undamaged.
Seeing that he couldn't defeat the shadowy warrior using martial arts techniques, Lin Yi had an idea and directly used his Sequence Divinity.
In their next encounter, vines sprouted from beneath the shadowy warrior's feet, and water melted into ice.
The shadowy warrior instantly lost his rhythm, was hit several times by Lin Yi, and was no longer able to resist.
"You actually possess such skills, interesting. However, your martial arts are not pure; I concede defeat this round..."
After uttering these words, the shadowy warrior vanished in a wisp of green smoke, leaving no trace.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly, but he didn't approve. "What's this about purity? If you lose, you lose. Don't make excuses for yourself."
