"Weak? Burst? Weak? "
Li Yao chuckled a few times, his expression mysterious. "Sister Ling, guess what stage I'm at now?"
Ding Ling Dong glanced at him a few times and said casually, "You beat the shit out of a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator when you just awakened at the temporary station. Your talent is pretty good. You've been cultivating like crazy these past few months. Could it be that you've advanced again and are now at the 2nd level of the Refinement Stage?"
"No!"
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a trace of strangeness. Her eyes widened and a red light flashed from the bottom of her eyes. "You — 3rd level of the Refinement Stage!"
Ding Ling Dong was surprised and happy. She pinched Li Yao's arm hard. "Awesome! You've reached the 3rd level of the Refinement Stage in less than half a year!"
Li Yao grimaced in pain, but he couldn't hide the smile in the bottom of his eyes. "It seems that my Soul Converging Technique is pretty good. Even Sister Ling was fooled. There's a small island over there. I'll show you my strength!"
In a corner of the Billowing Star Sea, there were several islands and reefs. The smallest reef only had enough space to stand on, while the largest island had a diameter of 30 to 50 meters. The island was rugged with grotesque rocks that intersected with each other. Swoosh!
Li Yao stood on a sharp stalagmite. His feet were bare and his ten toes were spread out. They pierced deeply into the rock like an eagle's claws. His entire body didn't move in the slightest under the raging sea breeze.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao restrained the light in his eyes. They were like two deep wells, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.
Suddenly, he squatted down and stretched his hands backward with all his might. He formed his fingers into claws, just like an eagle about to fly — or a vulture!
Ding Ling Dong stood on another stalagmite not far away. Her eyes lit up.
"Soul Ignition Law?"
Soul Ignition Law was an extension of the Soul Converging Technique.
The Soul Converging Technique taught cultivators how to converge their soul and lock their life force.
Soul Ignition Law, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. It allowed cultivators to stimulate their soul to the limit in an instant, burning their life force to release endless light and heat. Illuminating the entire universe!
In other words, Soul Ignition Law taught cultivators how to — transform!
Normally, he would use the Soul Converging Technique to restrain his Divine Soul and seal his life force.
When faced with an emergency situation, he would use the Soul Ignition Technique to instantly ignite the flames of life and display the ability to penetrate the heavens and penetrate the earth.
This was the fighting style of cultivators.
Ding Ling Dong was inexplicably excited. She was even more excited than when she first learned the Soul Ignition Law.
It was the same as the Soul Converging Technique. The Soul Ignition Technique was also a general term. There were hundreds of Soul Ignition Techniques that were popular in the Tian Yuan Realm.
The Soul Ignition Law that Li Yao cultivated was called Soaring to the Heavens!
The secret of this Soul Ignition Technique was to imagine oneself as an eagle that had been chained in the depths of a valley since childhood.
While other birds were flying freely in the sky, this chained eagle could only stretch its neck and watch a small piece of the sky silently at the bottom of the deep valley.
The iron chain was very tight, cutting deeply into its flesh. It couldn't even shake its feathers.
Over the years, it remained motionless like a piece of rock. The chains seemed to have locked its divine soul.
Even if it occasionally saw its own kind pass by in the sky and let out cheerful whistles, its eyes seemed to be frozen, not moving in the slightest.
And in the dark …
Every second, it was growing!
Every second. It was crazily accumulating strength!
Every second, it longed to rush to the highest heavens. It wanted to use its wings to shatter the stars and the sun!
Finally, one day, it accumulated enough strength. It flapped its wings wildly, shattering the chains and exploding the shackles. It let out a shrill cry that resounded through the sky. Soaring to the heavens, galloping wildly for thousands of miles, it became the king of eagles.
Soaring to the heavens!
Soaring to the heavens, the king of eagles!
Li Yao's eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, suddenly flashed. In 0.1 seconds, his gaze changed from dim to sharp like an eagle's.
A large amount of spiritual energy gushed out from his pores. It condensed into a feather form. The pale gray feather edges outlined a golden edge, revealing the astonishing strength dormant in this body.
"Howl!"
"Howl, howl!"
Li Yao heard the sharp cry of an eagle.
This was the sudden expansion of spiritual energy, which caused the air to vibrate, producing the sound of wind and thunder.
"4th level of the Refinement Stage!"
Ding Ling Dong couldn't believe her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion as she murmured, "Taking shape with one's luck, one can initially simulate the creation of the world. This is a realm that only 4th level of the Refinement Stage can achieve. You can actually do it. How long has it been since you awakened?"
"Hahahaha!"
Receiving Ding Ling Dong's praise, Li Yao's heart was as sweet as honey. The little bit of an expert image that he had condensed with great difficulty was instantly destroyed. He laughed wildly without restraint.
"That's right. 4th level of the Refinement Stage. How about it? Is it enough for you to fight?"
In the past few months, he was either madly absorbing theoretical knowledge in the Heavenly Refining Tower or running around in the ruins while carrying dozens of tons of wreckage of magical equipment. At the same time, he also had to push his computational ability to the limit to think of a large number of modification plans.
In addition, he was the only treasure of the Refining Department. The rest of the resources were at his disposal. Just the crystal stones he consumed were more than ten times that of an ordinary freshman.
Under such crazy cultivation, he finally made a breakthrough three days ago and blasted into the 4th level of the Refinement Stage!
"In just a few months, you have transformed from an ordinary person into a 4th level Refinement Stage cultivator. You are even faster than me when I was young. I really have a good eye. With just a glance, I picked out a fine horse like you from a mule!"
Ding Ling Dong happily praised herself. Soon after, she slightly mocked, "However, the conclusion is still the same. In front of me, an early level Building Foundation Stage cultivator, you, a 4th level Refinement Stage cultivator, are weak! Explode! Explode! "
"It can't be. Look at how cool my appearance is!"
Li Yao was not convinced. With a shake of his arms, the spirit energy condensed into feathers that shone brightly.
"What's the use of having a cool appearance?"
Ding Ling Dong disapprovingly said, "The Refinement Stage is divided into 13 levels. Levels 1 to 5 are collectively referred to as the low level. Levels 6 to 10 are the middle level. Levels 11 to 13 are the high level. Above the high level is the peak level."
"In the early level of the Refinement Stage, the spirit energy only has a superficial appearance. No matter how good it looks, it has no combat power. In a real battle, I can poke your spirit energy feathers and burst them with a single finger!"
"What's more …"
Ding Ling Dong faintly smiled. "You have been studying refiners for the past few months. The requirements for computational ability are very high. What you usually come in contact with must be algorithms, theorems, array glyphs, and so on. The cultivation of pure spiritual energy shouldn't be anything special, right? "
"Therefore, you, a 4th level Refinement Stage cultivator, strictly speaking, is a 4th level Refinement Stage cultivator. Compared to a 4th level Refinement Stage cultivator, there is a certain difference. "
"Just like Jiang Tao, who you once brutally beat up. He is a pure creation-type cultivator. Even if he reached the 3rd level of the Refinement Stage, didn't you still beat him into a pig's head?"
These words made Li Yao completely calm down.
Thinking about it carefully, Ding Ling Dong was not wrong. In the past few months, his computational ability had madly increased. The reason why the spirit energy was able to condense and take shape was most likely because he had relied on his computational ability to forcibly simulate it. It had a superficial appearance and was simply unable to be used in a real battle.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged and somewhat unwilling.
It would be great if he could be Ding Lingdang's sparring partner. Ten credits per minute, a hundred credits in ten minutes, and six hundred credits in an hour!
Of course, one hour was a bit of wishful thinking.
In a battle between experts. Life and death were decided in seconds. Not to mention a fierce person like Ding Ling Dong who was good at instant killing. Even the "Herculean Bear Demon" could not withstand her for even a minute.
"Even if I can persist for three to five minutes, I will still have 30 to 50 credits. If I practice twice a day, I will have several thousand credits in a month. If I make a breakthrough in my professional class, maybe by the end of the first semester. I will be able to gather 10,000 credits. "
"In this way, next year I will still have an entire semester to go to the Wasteland and fight for the remaining 30,000 credits!"
Thinking of this, Li Yao's eyes flashed with a touch of firmness. He very seriously looked at Ding Ling Dong. Pausing after each word, he said, "Sister Ling, please give me a chance. I want to try —"
Before he could finish his words, a red light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. It was as if a high-speed crystal train had ruthlessly crashed into his chest!
Blood crazily spurted out from his mouth. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew out upside down and broke 20-30 stalagmites in a row. He fell flat on his back among the rocks.
In ten seconds, Li Yao's entire body was paralyzed, unable to move a single step.
And the heart-wrenching pain in his chest was like a bolt of lightning that struck his heart. It followed his blood vessels and stimulated every cell, making every second feel like a year.
Ten seconds was as unbearable as ten whole years!
"What, what's going on …"
Ten seconds later, Li Yao barely recovered the ability to speak. His voice was incomparably hoarse. He felt as if he had been hit by a meteor.
Ding Ling Dong leisurely jumped over. Her beautiful legs spread apart as she sat on his stomach without any trace of politeness.
"Rip!"
Li Yao's shirt had been blasted to pieces by this blow. Ding Ling Dong gently tore it into pieces. His sturdy chest caved in with an incomparably clear fist mark. It was burning hot as if it had been branded.
Ding Ling Dong raised her orchid finger and lightly poked the fist mark.
"Hiss —"
Li Yao was in so much pain that tears were about to come out. He wanted to jump around, but his body was out of his control. The pain seemed to have turned into an invisible shackle, firmly locking every bundle of nerve endings.
"You see, I only lightly punched you, and you have turned into this. How can you be my sparring partner?"
Ding Ling Dong curled her lips.
"Was it you who punched me just now?"
Li Yao felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.
After more than a minute, he finally regained control of his body. His chest was still in great pain. His heart seemed to be entangled in thorns. Every heartbeat was a torture.
Ding Ling Dong extended her slender finger and shook it gently.
"Wrong, please don't use the word 'punch'. At least 90% of your strength is needed to call it a 'punch'. I only 'poked' you with a light punch!"
"You said that you wanted to give it a try. I know that you are a stubborn person. If I don't agree, you won't give up. Then, I'll let you give it a try. Now, you should know the gap between the Building Foundation Stage and the Refinement Stage, right?"
"With your current strength, you can't even see the path of my punches clearly. What's the difference between you standing there stupidly and punching a sandbag?"
"Alright, don't let your imagination run wild. There's a first-aid kit over there. Apply some medicine first and cultivate here peacefully. I'll post a mission on the Internet first."
Ding Ling Dong patted her butt and walked to the edge of the island.
Just as her beautiful feet touched the ice-cold seawater, a low growl suddenly came from behind her.
