Chapter 336: Chapter 298: Half-Step Star Tempering Realm

Lin Yi glanced down at Xiaoqi.

He picked it right off his lap and tossed it onto the bed.

Then, he immediately pulled up his personal panel.

[Current Realm: Tier Three, Star Seven]

[Qi and Blood Value: 88.16% → 89.45%...]

The moment Lin Yi saw his realm,

he was utterly stunned.

’I jumped directly from the Six-Star Realm to the Seven-Star Realm?’

’And it looks like my Qi and Blood value is still rising nonstop?’

He could even feel a stream of Origin Qi surging into the acupoints within his body.

[Current Realm: Tier Three, Star Seven]

[Qi and Blood Value: 91.81% → 93.27%]

Just as he’d thought. Lin Yi closed the personal panel and opened it again.

His Qi and Blood had risen significantly, just as he’d suspected.

And it looked like he was about to break through to Tier Four, Star Seven.

If it kept increasing at this rate, he was afraid he would break right through the Seven-Star Realm.

And enter the next major realm, the Star Tempering Realm...

"This is insane! I’m already at the Half-Step Star Tempering Realm?"

Lin Yi thought of the Daoist from the Star River Qi Transformation Technique.

He had merely taught him face-to-face.

And as a result, his body had undergone such a drastic transformation.

A hundred of his acupoints had opened, and his Qi and Blood had been completely purified.

It had transformed into a massive amount of Origin Qi, continuously pouring into those hundred acupoints.

Pushing his realm ever higher.

’This is way more potent than any potion, isn’t it?’

Lin Yi was completely blown away.

BOOM—

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt his body change once again.

A ball of energy seemed to explode outward from him.

In an instant, he felt his senses of hearing, sight, and touch more than double in acuity.

He could even hear the faintest sounds with perfect clarity.

Even his Power of Heart and Mind had been strengthened.

Just by sitting there and slightly extending his consciousness, he could see Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and Sun Tao watching TV in the living room.

Wei Shang and Feng Lei’s rooms, however, were empty.

They clearly hadn’t returned yet.

Xiaoqi stared at Lin Yi from the side, a flicker of terror in its eyes.

[Current Realm: Tier Four, Star Seven]

[Qi and Blood Value: 24.15%]

Only then did Lin Yi feel the flow of Origin Qi pouring into his acupoints slowly weaken.

It was no longer the raging torrent it had been just moments ago.

The increase in his Qi and Blood was also no longer as obvious.

Even so, to be able to raise his realm by so much...

...in a single cultivation session.

No one would believe it even if he told them.

Who could take a morning nap and nearly break through two major realms in a row?

Going from the Six-Star Realm to being on the verge of the Star Tempering Realm?

Not even the most prodigious geniuses would believe such a thing was possible.

Lin Yi took a moment to feel the changes in his body.

Just as he was about to head to the bathroom to wash off the smelly sweat...

WHOOSH—

He seemed to teleport.

He was instantly inside the bathroom.

This time, it was Xiaoqi’s turn to be dumbfounded.

It tilted its head, staring at Lin Yi in the bathroom as if he were a complete stranger.

Just as Lin Yi was about to take off his clothes and shower,

he noticed Xiaoqi’s gaze and quickly walked over to shut the bathroom door.

A dozen or so minutes later, Lin Yi emerged again.

He felt completely refreshed and invigorated.

During his shower, a considerable amount of blackish-gray grease had washed off his body.

It was like all the impurities had been expelled from his system.

After he was clean, the filthy grease on the floor had also been washed away completely.

The only thing left was an indescribable stench lingering in the bathroom.

He changed into a fresh set of clothes.

Lin Yi opened the door and walked out.

At that moment, Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others were sitting in the living room watching TV.

They all turned to look at Lin Yi.

"You’re awake?"

Wei Nan asked with a smile.

Zhou Qi and Sun Tao also greeted him.

"You guys are still here watching the news?"

"Sigh, you have no idea how dire the situation in the New District is right now!"

"It’s all about the demonic beasts, the reports just keep coming, don’t they?"

"Demonic beasts are even running rampant in Dongping City during the day. Just now, three of them rushed into the bus station. Over a hundred people were injured, and more than ten died..."

Wei Nan said, his expression grim.

Zhou Qi nodded. "These demonic beasts have all gone crazy!"

"The local Demon Hunting Teams and the Town Martial Department are searching the entire city for those demonic beasts and other strange creatures!"

"And it’s not just Dongping City. It’s the same in all the other cities in the New District!"

"Sigh, it’s total chaos. People in the New District cities don’t even dare to go outside anymore!"

"It almost feels like we’re back in the Old District..."

Lin Yi walked over and glanced at the TV screen.

It looked like a live broadcast. Many medical personnel and people from the Public Security Bureau were there.

They were scrambling to treat those injured by the demonic beasts at the bus station.

There were also some plainclothes individuals gathering clues left by the beasts.

The scene was chaotic, and every face was etched with gravity.

The atmosphere was incredibly tense.

"You guys keep watching. I’m going down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I’m starving."

With that, Lin Yi headed for the door.

Just then, Wei Nan and the others quickly turned off the TV.

"Wait, we haven’t eaten either! Let’s go together!"

The group quickly got up and hurried after Lin Yi.

The state of alert on campus hadn’t been lifted.

Although members of the Xingwu Guard were still patrolling the school grounds,

there were a few more students out on the grounds.

They walked in small groups of two or three, eyeing everyone around them with increased vigilance.

It was as if they expected any passing stranger to attack them at any second.

Lin Yi watched their wary expressions.

’This is the biggest difference between the local students and the students from the Old District.’

Students born in the Old District had lived in this brutal world since they were children.

Their lives were under constant threat.

To survive to the age of eighteen and pass the Martial Exam to come to the New District...

...they were already accustomed to situations like this.

They didn’t find it particularly terrifying; it wasn’t even as suffocating as a night in the Old District.

But for the local students, it was completely different.

They had been born and raised in a Nest of Comfort.

The security in the New District was far superior to that of the Old District.

Here, there was no conflict, no danger. Even something as common as fighting wasn’t allowed.

When a true crisis arrived,

their minds simply couldn’t handle it.

They lacked the courage to face it.

It was broad daylight, and the campus was on high alert.

Members of the Xingwu Guard patrolled the grounds periodically.

And yet, those local students wouldn’t even step outside their dorm rooms.

Most of the students walking around calmly outside were Martial Exam candidates from the Old District.

The very people they considered outcasts.

They arrived at the cafeteria.

The massive cafeteria was completely empty. Not a single student was sitting down to eat.

Lin Yi took a tray and walked to the serving window.

He found that even the cafeteria staff were hiding in the back, unwilling to come out.

Only after Lin Yi rang the bell did someone reluctantly emerge.

After serving the food, they quickly retreated back to the break room.

Refusing to come out again for anything.

Sitting in the empty cafeteria,

Wei Nan glanced around every so often. "Is it really that bad? Are they all this scared?"

"Not a single person dares to come out and eat?"

Sun Tao also wore a sneer. "When we first got here, those local students looked down on us a hundred times over!"

"I thought they were so tough. Turns out a few demonic beasts show up, and now they’re too scared to come out in broad daylight?"

"Heh, and people like them came to Xingwu University?"

"I really worry about the future. If they graduate and join the Demon Hunting Bureau, how are they ever going to find the guts to go Demon Hunting!"

Both Wei Nan and Sun Tao couldn’t help but mock them.

Lin Yi and Zhou Qi sat there, eating with their heads down.

After a long while, when Lin Yi had finished his meal,

he looked up at Zhou Qi, Wei Nan, and the others.

"Tonight, I’m planning to go Demon Hunting."

"What? Demon Hunting?"

Wei Nan and the others were all shocked.

Lin Yi nodded. "We’re students of Xingwu University, after all."

"Isn’t our major basically Demon Hunting?"

"Right now, the Demon Hunting Teams in Songshan City haven’t been fully established!"

"Demonic beasts are running rampant, and strange creatures are causing chaos!"

"I’m going to help out. Every one I can kill is one less to worry about."

Hearing this, Wei Nan and Zhou Qi exchanged a look.

"In that case, why don’t we just find Captain Chu and ask to join his team?" Wei Nan said with a smile.

Lin Yi shook his head. "He would never agree to let us join."

"The university has a rule. Even to join a Demon Hunting Team as an intern, you have to wait until you’re a sophomore."

"We’re just freshmen. You think Captain Chu would agree?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking,

Wei Nan and Sun Tao looked at each other.

Both of them grinned. "Count me in!"

"Count me in too!"

Zhou Qi glanced at them. "My injuries are almost completely healed. Count me in as well!"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. "Then I guess our Demon Hunting Squad is officially formed!"

"Tonight, after dark!"

"We leave the school and go Demon Hunting!"

At his words, everyone nodded.

You could see it in their eyes.

Each one of them was more excited than the last about going Demon Hunting.

Especially Wei Nan. Back in the Old District,

he was the one who had introduced Lin Yi to the life of Demon Hunting.

Now, here in the New District, they had a chance to go Demon Hunting again.

For Wei Nan, the feeling of being a Demon Hunter was thrilling enough.

Besides, ever since their setback in Jail City,

they had been cultivating day and night since coming back.

They did it so they wouldn’t drag Lin Yi down in the future and could wreak havoc in Jail City.

Although they hadn’t yet reached their ideal realms,

this Demon Hunting trip would be a chance...

...to test the results of their training.

After finalizing their plan, they finished their meal and left.

Lin Yi returned to his dorm, preparing to meditate some more.

to strengthen his heart and mind.

Meanwhile, Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and Sun Tao went straight to the Cultivation Field.

The Cultivation Field was rather deserted today.

While most students were holed up in their dorms,

a small number were still here, cultivating.

To avoid dragging Lin Yi down during the hunt tonight,

they decided to squeeze in one more good training session before nightfall.

Every little bit of strength they could gain would count...
