"Chi …"
With a soft sound, a red light suddenly appeared in the huge black vortex emitted by the Sky Devil Domain floating and rotating in front of Yue Yuan's chest. A figure was wrapped in the red light.
The moment this figure appeared, all the cultivators in the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's residence focused on the figure wrapped in the red light. Especially the Venerables of the various Star Realms and the elders of the various sects whose disciples had yet to come out of the Sky Demon Region. Their eyes were filled with nervousness and anticipation.
They were anticipating that the figure that came out this time would be their own disciple. Although the cultivator that came out this time would be the cultivator who ranked fifth in the War Spirit Battle, even if they didn't think their own disciple was that strong, the elders still had a glimmer of hope that a miracle would happen. They were anticipating that the cultivator that came out this time would be their own disciple.
Similarly, Huo Lin also had the same expectation. Of the remaining 395 people, only five had survived. This news made Huo Lin's heart turn cold.
If it wasn't for Bai Yuhan's extremely firm voice, Huo Lin probably wouldn't even know if he had the strength to stand up.
"Could it be … Ling Dong?" Inspector Di Nankun, who was waiting on the side, also revealed a look of anticipation when he saw this figure appear. However, he felt that the possibility of it being Ling Dong wasn't very high.
"Fu Dong, it's Fu Dong. Good job!" Before Di Nankun could finish his sentence, a leading Elder not far away had already charged into the air with a streak of golden light. He caught the cultivator named Fu Dong who had just appeared from the Heavenly Devil Region and brought him back to the ground.
"Fu Dong, the number one genius of the Golden Sheep Realm in the past 100 years. He deserves to be ranked fifth in this War Spirit Battle …" Seeing Di Nankun's stiff expression, Shi Qianbi said somewhat weakly. In the end, Shi Qianbi said, "However, Brother Ling is also extremely talented. It's also … possible for him to make it to the top four in this War Spirit Battle …"
Although Shi Qianbi's last sentence was meant to reassure Di Nankun and Huo Lin, he couldn't bring himself to continue. After all, even Shi Qianbi himself couldn't believe his own words.
After all, the Soul Battle relied on actual strength. Basically, the top ten spots in the Soul Battle would be taken by the geniuses from the various Star Boundaries. This was an indisputable fact.
"It's not just a possibility, it's a certainty that he'll make it to the top four!" Just as Di Nankun and Huo Lin's faces darkened, Bai Yuhan suddenly took over the conversation. His tone was extremely firm.
Clearly, Bai Yuhan's words sounded more like a form of stubbornness to the crowd. Naturally, no one believed her. When Huo Lin saw the confident look on Bai Yuhan's face, tears nearly fell from his eyes. "My dear daughter, Ling Dong, he …" At this point, Huo Lin was already choking with sobs.
"Chi …"
"Look, there's another one!" Just as Huo Lin was choking with sobs, someone among the spectators in the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence shouted. Everyone's gaze immediately shot toward the scarlet light that had appeared in the black vortex in front of the Sky Demon Area.
Although they were extremely disappointed and felt that it was impossible for Ling Dong to make it to the top four, Huo Lin and Di Nankun still harbored a trace of hope in their hearts as they looked at the scarlet light that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
However, the moment Huo Lin and Di Nankun looked at the scarlet light that had suddenly appeared in the sky, Bai Yuhan had already shot out like a bolt of lightning. Her white dress fluttered as she soared into the sky.
"What's wrong with the Bai Family's daughter?"
"It's, it's Ling Dong. Ling Dong is still alive!" Just as Huo Lin was puzzled, Shi Qianbi suddenly cried out in alarm as he watched the red light from the talisman that had escorted the cultivator out gradually dissipate.
Shi Qianbi's words were like throwing a boulder into a calm pool of spring water. Huo Lin and Di Nankun were so shocked that they immediately soared into the sky and prepared to catch Ling Dong. This was because every cultivator who came out of the Sky Demon Area was extremely weak. Their Spiritual Power was also extremely weak.
However, the moment they soared into the sky, Huo Lin and Di Nankun landed awkwardly on the ground. This was because Bai Yuhan, who had already soared into the sky, had already caught Ling Dong and landed on the ground.
"Ling Dong (Dong-er), how are you? Are you alright? What's wrong with your forehead? " When Ling Dong landed on the ground, a series of voices came from Huo Lin and Di Nankun's mouths. Huo Lin's face was filled with anxiety. Only Di Nankun frowned and looked at Ling Dong's forehead with some confusion.
At this moment, the skin on Ling Dong's forehead was red and slightly swollen. As for the Triple Mystic Eyes that had been activated and launched an attack earlier, it had already healed. There was only a red mark the size of a rice grain on his forehead.
At this moment, this red mark had also been hidden by the swelling and redness on his forehead. Therefore, Di Nankun was only puzzled. How could there be an external injury in a Soul Battle?
As for Shi Qianbi, he was stunned when he saw Ling Dong come out of the Sky Demon Area alive. He was dumbfounded and had a look of disbelief on his face.
Even with Shi Qianbi's ability and the secret treasure that his master had imparted to him, he had only managed to last until the last two hours of the thirteenth day in the Sky Demon Area before he could no longer resist the Inner Demon that had appeared at the same time and left the Sky Demon Area while his mind was still clear.
Because of this, he was somewhat lucky. He came out seven minutes later than the eleventh place and obtained the tenth place in this Soul Battle. Only someone like Shi Qianbi, who had personally participated in the Soul Battle, knew what kind of pressure one had to endure for every extra two hours in the Sky Demon Area.
That was why Shi Qianbi was so surprised. Ling Dong's Soul cultivation was lower than Shi Qianbi's by a small level. However, Ling Dong was able to last one and a half days longer than Shi Qianbi. He actually made it to the fifteenth day!
Shi Qianbi felt that this was too unbelievable.
"Uncle-Master … Inspector … I'm fine …" Ling Dong replied with great difficulty. His eyelids felt as if there was a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds on them. He just wanted to close his eyes and have a good night's sleep.
However, Ling Dong relied on his strong willpower to keep his eyes open. He didn't let himself fall asleep and tried his best to stay awake.
Ling Dong, who had some attainments in the Soul Battle, knew that his current situation was caused by the exhaustion of his Soul Strength. The Soul Strength in his body could be said to be a lamp that had run out of oil. If he fell asleep now, he would fall into a deep sleep.
The recovery of Soul Strength relied on sleep to slowly recover. If an ordinary person fell into a coma due to exhaustion, they would need to sleep for a night or even a day to recover. For an ancient martial art practitioner with an extremely strong Soul Strength like him, if he fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion of his Soul Strength, who knew how long he would need to sleep to recover his Soul Strength to a certain extent and wake up naturally.
At that time, Ling Dong estimated that it would take at least one or two months. At most, it would take a few years.
Therefore, Ling Dong relied on his strong willpower to hold on. Moreover, if he could hold on, there would be a certain benefit to his Soul. At least, Ling Dong's Soul Cultivation would take a big leap forward.
His Soul cultivation had been completely overdrawn. If he could force himself to stay conscious and use this opportunity to cultivate his Soul power, he would be able to achieve several times the results with half the effort. This was a small trick recorded in the Star Demon's inheritance to cultivate the power of the soul. There were many similar tricks recorded in the Star Demon's inheritance.
"Good! It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine! "Huo Lin was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Ling Dong, good job!" Di Nankun, who was surprised and pleasantly surprised, gave Ling Dong a thumbs-up. Then, he frowned and hurriedly said to Bai Yuhan, "Quick, let Ling Dong down. Ling Dong, quickly cultivate your Soul Strength. You must hold on. Don't fall into a deep sleep. Quick! "Di Nankun urged anxiously.
Hearing Di Nankun's words, Ling Dong, who had just gathered a little strength and was about to say these words, breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone who understood. If it had been a little longer, even with his willpower, he would not have been able to hold on for long. After all, even the cleverest housewife could not cook a meal without rice.
While the warriors of the Wood Puppet Realm were pleasantly surprised by Ling Dong's appearance, a person in the sky was alarmed. This person was naturally Venerable Yue Yuan.
What alarmed Venerable Yue Yuan was not Ling Dong's record in the Soul Battle, but the name 'Ling Dong'.
When the warriors of the Wood Puppet Realm repeatedly exclaimed the name 'Ling Dong', Yue Yuan, who was sensing the situation in the Sky Demon Realm, quickly turned his head and shot an unusually sharp gaze.
In the next moment, Venerable Yue Yuan tossed the Sky Demon Realm in his hand, allowing it to slowly rotate in the air. Then, he rushed towards the warriors of the Wood Puppet Realm. At this moment, Ling Dong had just been placed on the ground by Bai Yuhan and sat down cross-legged.
"Eh, the Wood Puppet Realm's record is very strong this time? One of them is ranked tenth, and the other is ranked fourth. This is really beyond my expectations! "Yue Yuan, who had landed beside Di Nankun, was full of praise.
"Venerable Yue Yuan, your record this time is not bad, not bad!" After hearing Yue Yuan's praise and seeing the surprised gazes of his fellow cultivators in the distance, Di Nankun felt a sense of exaltation. This was the first time in several thousand years that he had felt this way in the Vermilion Bird Millennium Elite Battle.
Yue Yuan laughed and said, "Inspector Di, I wonder which sect this elite from the Wood Puppet Realm is from? Can you introduce him to this old man? To be honest, this person is really a dark horse in this Soul Battle!"
Since Di Nankun was flattered, and Ling Dong's situation was not a secret. If they really wanted to investigate, they would be able to find out. Therefore, Di Nankun did not hide anything and said, "His name is Ling Dong. He is an elite disciple trained by the True Gang Sect in the Wood Sprite Realm."
"True Astral Sect?" Yue Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this. Then, he smiled and said, "This old man has heard of this sect before. It seems that they have branches in the Wood Puppet Realm. I wonder if this elite disciple of Ling Dong was trained by the True Astral Sect of the Wood Puppet Realm or did he ascend from a lower realm?"
Actually, Yue Yuan was already certain that the person before him was most likely Ling Dong from the Big Dipper Continent. However, Ling Dong's appearance was a little different from what he knew, so he still had some doubts.
Both Huo Lin and Di Nankun were a little surprised when they heard Yue Yuan's question. Yue Yuan's question seemed a little overboard.
However, this wasn't a secret. Di Nankun looked at Huo Lin and gestured for him to answer.
"Venerable Yue Yuan, Ling Dong ascended from a branch sect of the Big Dipper Continent of the Wood Puppet Realm. He is currently the personal disciple of the sect's Grand Elder." When he said this, Huo Lin was worried that Yue Yuan would snatch Ling Dong as his disciple, so he shut Yue Yuan up early.
However, to everyone's surprise, Yue Yuan's face turned extremely gloomy when he heard Huo Lin's words. He even looked a little ferocious!
"It's really him!"

PS: Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. First of all, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and wish everyone good health. For those who have returned home, there's no need to say anything more. Family reunions are as happy as can be.
For those who can't go home, please remember to call your loved ones and video call them. Perhaps your inconspicuous behavior can bring inexplicable gratitude and comfort to your parents!
Also, it's so late to update. There's only one chapter left for today.
Life is always full of surprises. Tonight, his wife celebrated the festival with all the teachers in the school district. Then, his wife was forced to drink a few glasses of white wine by her leader.
In short, it's very depressing. His wife has never drunk alcohol before, so her reaction was a little heavy. Zhu San went to fetch his wife and busied himself with hot water, towels, and so on … Let's not talk about it.
He was supposed to make up for the lack of updates today since it was a holiday tomorrow. However, Zhu San had been having outbreaks of gallstones and cholecystitis these days. It just so happened that it was a holiday in November, so he had his wife to accompany him. If he really had an operation, there would be someone to accompany him in bed.
He had booked the tickets a few days ago and contacted a doctor with a friend. Tomorrow night, he would take a bus to the provincial capital, Lanzhou. Then, he would go for a check-up in Lanzhou to see if he could avoid cholecystectomy.
Therefore, he had to save one or two chapters tomorrow and maintain one chapter for the next few days. However, he would never stop updating. As for when he really had to do the operation, Zhu San would explain to his brothers the update schedule! (To be continued.
