All of this was the System's fault, turning him into an existence that was neither human nor beast.
Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have believed in the stupid system. It would have been much better to form a spirit root on my own.
An Lin wiped away his tears. Even though he was filled with remorse, this was an unchangeable reality, so he could only accept it.
Life had to go on, meals had to be eaten, and the end-of-year examinations had to be carried out.
Due to the beast tide yesterday, they had completed quite a few targets.
But for students like them, the more targets they completed, the better.
An Lin gathered Miao Tian and the others, and they set off for the Myriad Mountain Realm again.
Xuanyuan Cheng had already informed everyone about his breakthrough to the Spirit Nurturing Stage last night.
An Lin became the fifth student in their class to reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
Regarding this matter, the students in the class had different reactions.
Some of them were astonished by An Lin's terrifying rate of progression.
Of course, there was also a large group of students who didn't feel much of a ripple in their hearts. Instead, they felt that this was only natural.
With An Lin's legendary feats in front of them, this wasn't a big deal at all.
"Big Brother An, I heard you've broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage and our team has become a lot stronger. Can I slack off for another day?" Miao Tian crossed her arms behind her head and asked in a carefree voice.
An Lin grimaced upon hearing this. It seems like you've been slacking off for the past few days. What does that have to do with me breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage?
"M-hm, I've also heard about this. Congratulations, Big Brother An." Zong Yongyan smiled.
"Congratulations, Big Brother An, for breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage." Luo Ziping also offered his congratulations.
Only Sun Shenglian humphed coldly and didn't say anything. She was clearly still angry about what had happened this morning.
An Lin could only heave a resigned sigh in response to these mundane congratulatory messages.
It was his fault for flexing so much earlier. Now that he had broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage, everyone had nothing else to say about it.
Xiao Chou was the only one who would chat excitedly with An Lin after hearing about this.
Everyone continued to walk deeper into the mountains.
Ever since the beast swarm, the number of exotic beasts in the vicinity had decreased by a lot.
After that day, they only killed twenty-six exotic beasts. It was not even enough to fill the gaps between An Lin and the clown's teeth.
An Lin had broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage and was able to use his golden glazed sword to slay mutant beasts. Each and every one of his sword strikes was able to unleash a powerful sword projection, and it was a very satisfying feeling.
As expected, once one's strength increased, even the most basic swordsmanship would be able to display astonishing power!
Today, An Lin and the others were eating the eggs of the Gale Swordbirds.
The eggs were as big as watermelons, and there were eight of them!
Among the many game dishes, An Lin and the others chose this bird egg because the egg yolk had an extremely fresh and delicious taste. It was not crunchy, but extremely fragrant and crispy.
This was an extremely special existence among the eggs.
Just as everyone was roasting the eggs, An Lin held the Golden Glazed Sword and made a few hand seals. Then, the sword floated in the air.
Then, with a light leap, he landed on the back of the sword.
That's right, he was going to try Sword Kinesis Flight now!
Being able to soar in the sky was the dream of countless Dao Body Stage cultivators.
Although An Lin did not have a particularly strong desire to do so, it was undeniable that Sword Kinesis Flight was indeed very convenient.
Following the Sword Kinesis Flight Technique that he had learned at school, he first created a streak of light.
A golden film of light enveloped the body of the sword as if it were a substantial substance. This film of light was several times the width of the sword, and it had the effect of stabilizing one's body.
Using a spell technique, one could also make this film of light envelop one's body as well. This way, one could be protected from wind, rain, and sun.
Sword Kinesis Flight required a cultivator to have exquisite control over vital energy.
He had already broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage, so this was not an issue for him.
"Rise!"
An Lin yelled lightly. The sword hummed and began to ascend into the sky.
Then …
After rising to an altitude of a hundred meters, his legs started to give out.
"Sh * t, why is it so high? Luo Ziping and the others have all become tiny dots …"
An Lin muttered to himself as he cautiously flew on the sword.
After rising into the sky, his field of vision suddenly widened.
However, the more spacious it was, the more insecure he felt.
What if … what if he didn't control it well and fell down …?
He slowly flew on his sword. Even a speed of ten meters per second was extremely terrifying.
For example, Xu Xiaolan could fly at a speed of over a hundred meters per second.
This gap, sigh …
Soon, An Lin landed back on the ground.
It wasn't that he had become proficient, it was just that his heart couldn't take it anymore.
M-hm … his lovesickness was acting up.
He thought of Dabai's warm and comfortable back, which was filled with a sense of security.
Suddenly, for some reason, the image of Lu Zhan's pot lid surfaced in his mind.
That's right!
He could have flown on other magic tools, why did he have to fly on a sword?
An Lin slapped his forehead and cursed himself for not thinking of this earlier.
He immediately took out all of the items in his storage ring that he could use for flying.
Aside from the high-rank magic tool, the Golden Glazed Sword, there was also the Evil-Slaying Sword, the Realm-Piercing Nail, the Starless Sky of Slaughter Formation Disk, the White Ghost Shield, the Demonic Blood Dragon Saber, and the Chaotic Alloy Brick.
An Lin tossed the Evil-Slaying Sword aside. As long as it was a sword, he didn't want to fly on it.
As for the immortal tool, the Realm-Piercing Nail … Was he supposed to stand on a nail?
What a joke, he wasn't an acrobat!
He also stowed the Realm-Piercing Nail into his storage ring.
Then, there was the Starless Sky of Slaughter Formation Disk. He only learned of its name after using his Divine Inspection Technique. He didn't even know how to use it, so he stowed it away as well.
The White Demon Shield and the Demonic Blood Dragon Saber were two high-rank magic tools that he had obtained from the Blood God's storage ring.
After all, the back of a saber was wider than the back of a sword, so it gave him a greater sense of security.
M-hm … that could be decided!
As for the White Demon Shield, it was far too ugly with a skull on it. It didn't fit An Lin's aesthetic standards, so he ignored it.
After that, An Lin picked up the Chaotic Alloy Brick.
Hehe, this brick was even more impossible. Not only was it black and ugly, but it was also very short …
However, his expression suddenly shifted.
Now that he had broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage, the brick felt different in his hands.
"M-hm … I feel like I can control it."
An Lin blinked as he held the brick in his hand, feeling as if he were holding an object that could communicate with him through telepathy.
"Expand …"
Bam!
The black brick expanded in size.
An Lin's mouth gaped open as he stood rooted to the spot.
Three seconds later, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Expand! Expand! Expand! … "
Bam bam bam! …
Soon, the ordinary-looking black brick expanded into a huge brick that was three square meters in size.
"Rise!"
An Lin leaped onto the brick and used his Light Evasion Technique to soar into the sky.
"Hahahaha! Awesome! "An Lin yelled.
He felt much safer standing on the huge brick than standing on a tiny flying sword!
On the ground, Miao Tian and the others, who were roasting a huge egg, looked up into the sky.
They were greeted by the sight of An Lin standing atop a massive brick as he cackled in the air.
Everyone was dumbstruck!
