And in less than three months, Lin Yu's spirit power broke through again, reaching level 20 in one go!
At this moment.
spirit power energy fluctuations swirled around Lin Yu's body. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the gathered spirit power instantly dispersed.
He let out a long breath, a smile on his face: "Finally... I've broken through to level 20!"
"Congratulations, Little Yu, you'll soon be able to absorb your second spirit ring and become a Spirit Grandmaster," Qian Jun and Jiang Mo said with relief.
Dugu Bo sighed inwardly: "A Spirit Grandmaster under eight years old, tsk tsk tsk, this kid is truly a monster."
"Lin Yu, you are truly amazing. In just three months, you've broken through from level 18 to level 20. At this rate, your spirit power might surpass mine in two or three years," Dugu Yan exclaimed.
"Heh heh, now that your poison backlash has temporarily been resolved, your cultivation speed will also increase. With your talent, as long as you cultivate diligently, I don't think it will be easy for me to catch up to you," Lin Yu said with a humble smile.
After deciding to join Spirit Hall, Dugu Yan had already withdrawn from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For these three months, she had been cultivating daily at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Thus, Lin Yu and Dugu Yan's relationship had grown a bit closer.
And after these three months, not only did Lin Yu's spirit power break through, but Dugu Bo also successfully broke through from level 91 to level 92.
That day, Dugu Bo, that old fellow, was so excited he couldn't sleep the entire night.
As for Dugu Yan, she also broke through again, from level 26 to level 27.
Dugu Yan said with a smile: "Heh heh~ You're just too humble."
At this point, Qian Jun reminded: "Little Yu! We've been out for over three months now, and your spirit power has also broken through to level 20. It's about time we head back."
"Yes! It's been over three months. If Qian Renxue were to appear, she should have by now. Does she really not have the courage to abandon her infiltration plan?" Lin Yu sighed inwardly, deciding not to wait any longer. He replied: "Okay, then let's go back."
Lin Yu took all the ripe Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, stored them in his spirit tool, and then left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with everyone.
On the way out of Sunset Forest, Lin Yu and Dugu Yan chatted.
"Dugu Yan, with your capabilities, joining Spirit Hall will surely make you a core disciple. If you ever have any problems, troubles in life, or if other core disciples dare to bully you, come find me anytime. I'll take care of it for you."
Lin Yu's words filled Dugu Yan with a sense of security and warmth. She smiled: "Heh heh~ I, Dugu Yan, won't need protection from a younger brother six years my junior."
"Don't worry, I'm not a girl who can be easily bullied. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll poison them to death!"
Dugu Yan clenched her small fists, and when she mentioned poison, her eyes looked very formidable.
"Heh heh, this girl, she's probably not simple when she gets serious," Lin Yu muttered to himself.
Soon.
Lin Yu and his group had already reached the outskirts of Sunset Forest and would be out in a few minutes.
Along the way, Lin Yu would occasionally stop, his gaze scanning the surroundings. He was hoping Qian Renxue would appear.
But even after Lin Yu had completely stepped out of Sunset Forest, he still hadn't seen Qian Renxue.
He stopped for the last time.
Turning his head, he looked at Sunset Forest, which was now about three hundred meters away, feeling deeply disappointed: "Qian Renxue! I was already prepared to face the pressure and difficulties with you when you returned after abandoning your infiltration plan, but you didn't appear."
"Yes! It's just empty words; how could you truly believe you could become the Angel God and dare to abandon the infiltration plan because of it?"
"Heh heh, perhaps I shouldn't have expected anything from this," Lin Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly, shaking his head in disappointment. Just as he was about to turn and leave.
A clear female voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hey!"
"Little brat, what are you looking at! Are you perhaps looking for me?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Yu's body instantly froze in place. His pores enlarged in that instant, and his blood seemed to flow rapidly through his veins with the intense fluctuation of his emotions, making him boil.
Even though he hadn't heard this voice in over a year!
But with just one sentence!
He knew who it was!
Lin Yu abruptly turned around and clearly saw a graceful, beautiful figure standing on the road ahead, a brilliant smile on her face.
"Heh heh heh, heh heh heh heh..." Lin Yu laughed, a very happy laugh.
He suddenly moved his feet, rushing towards Qian Renxue at the first moment.
"Xue'er Jiejie!"
Looking at the approaching youth, Qian Renxue's heart instantly felt at ease and settled for a long time.
Because after she made this decision, and before she saw Lin Yu, her heart had always been somewhat anxious and uneasy.
She kept wondering, 'Is the decision I made right?'
'Will it be correct?'
But Lin Yu seemed to possess a strange magic. The moment she saw him, Qian Renxue instantly became firm in her decision.
Looking at the boy who was now standing in front of her, Qian Renxue smiled and reached out a hand, placing it on Lin Yu's head.
Then she slowly moved her hand in front of herself, teasing: "Oh, you're growing so fast. You're already up to my neck."
Lin Yu grabbed Qian Renxue's wrist, moved it away, and said grumpily: "I'm at the age where I'm growing; how could I not grow fast?"
Qian Renxue smiled, bent down, leaning forward a bit, and looked at Lin Yu at eye level: "Heh heh, from afar, you looked quite disappointed just now. What, did you think I wouldn't come back?"
At this moment, their faces were less than two fist-widths apart, very close.
Lin Yu could even clearly smell the faint, delicate fragrance of a young girl emanating from Qian Renxue.
As a virgin, Lin Yu felt a bit shy with a beautiful girl's face so close. He slightly turned his head and said: "We agreed on one year back then, and now it's been over three months. Who knows if you changed your mind."
"I did hesitate and struggle, but now my heart is firm. No matter the outcome of the future path, Lin Yu, I will cultivate to become a god with you with all my might!"
Their eyes met, warm sunlight bathed their faces, and they stood side by side.
At this moment, a bond seemed to form between them.
In the distance, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo frowned, saying: "Why is Young Master appearing here in her original form? What is she trying to do?"
Their expressions immediately became serious. First, they spoke to Dugu Bo: "You two, grandfather and granddaughter, should depart first for Spirit City."
"Alright."
Dugu Bo nodded, very sensibly pulling Dugu Yan and leaving first.
