Beauty and the Bodyguard

8405 Chapter 8404-

If it was said that the internal fine parts had been repeatedly tempered, then now it was a large area of heavy hammer forging on the outside!

Under such a violent blow, it was impossible not to be Reborn!

Fortunately, the whole process didn’t last more than twenty seconds, and Lin Yi quickly returned to his human form, exhausted and on the verge of death.

His clothes were in tatters, but his body was covered in a thick layer of blood scabs, like armor.

“Are you still alive? If you’re alive, make a squeak!”

The demonic thing relaxed-he could tell if Lin Yi was dead or not, and so he teased him more!

Lin Yi laughed, and the scabs on his face cracked a little, falling off with a “squeak” that wasn’t too loud.

The demonic thing immediately smiled. It was very happy to be naughty for a while. Since it could be naughty, it was naturally fine!

“What a troublesome kid! It’s really embarrassing to be in such a sorry state, this old man can’t be bothered to look! Let’s go back!”

A smile appeared on the demonic being’s face, and it feigned nonchalance as it returned to the Jade space.

He didn’t want Lin Yi to see how worried he was, so he wanted to laugh at Lin Yi before he left.

Lin Yi’s heart was warm, but he didn’t want to admit defeat.”In what way? This was a complete transformation! I’m not even willing to see it even if you want to!”

The ghostly thing had already returned to the Jade space, naturally ignoring Lin Yi’s useless roar.

Lin Yi chuckled to himself as he felt a huge amount of energy slowly awakening in his body. His muscles twitched, and he jumped up easily.

The armor-like dried blood scabs instantly fell apart and flew in all directions with a powerful impact. The skin under the blood scabs was crystal clear and glowed with a faint red light, like the most precious ruby.

A new set of clothes quickly covered his body. Lin Yi raised his palm and turned it around in front of his eyes for a while, feeling a strong sense of power.

He didn’t need genuine Qi. His physical strength alone was enough to fight against ordinary cultivators at the sea splitting stage!

The demonic blade appeared in Lin Yi’s right hand, a black light coming out of its sheath. He slashed his left arm!

The sharp demonic blade couldn’t even leave a mark on Lin Yi’s skin without any elemental Qi!

Strong!

The Scarlet Flame hundred-refined fruit really lived up to its name. Although Lin Yi’s body refining level stopped at the great circle of earth-splitting, his strength and defense were no less than a normal sea-splitting cultivator.

If he were to meet that black-robed young man again, Lin Yi was confident … It might be a little difficult to win, but it would be impossible for the black-robed young man to win so easily.

With this body combined with the spiritual awareness attack skill, he could at least stand in an undefeatable place!

A black light bloomed, and Lin Yi used his sword skills to his heart’s content, familiarizing himself with and testing his new power. After getting used to it, the power multiplied!

Lin Yi had been worried that the nine-in-one explosive effect of the Scarlet Flame hundred-refined fruit would leave some hidden dangers in his body.

However, the facts proved that he was overthinking it!

If one were to look inside with their divine sense, they would be able to see that their entire body had a kind of crystal clear feeling. If one could say that their body was close to perfection before, then it was one step closer to perfection now.

His training potential wasn’t used up either-it might not be easy to understand, but for example, Lin Yi’s strength was ten, and his potential was a hundred. That was the body’s limit, and he couldn’t break through after reaching it.

Normally, when one cultivated to 50 points, it would consume the body’s potential. The potential that was originally left with 90 points was reduced to 40 points.

The Scarlet Flame hundred-refined fruit raised Lin Yi’s strength to fifty, but it didn’t consume his potential. It also raised his body’s upper limit, bringing his potential to one hundred and forty.

That was the general idea-Lin Yi couldn’t use the numbers to understand the upper limit, but he could feel the changes!

Excellent!

Lin Yi put away his sword and couldn’t help but let out a long howl.

This time, he had risked his life to snatch the Scarlet Flame hundred-refined fruits, and he had also taken the risk of losing his physical body by consuming nine Scarlet Flame hundred-refined fruits at the same time. At this moment, it was all worth it!

Cultivation was a path that went against the heavens. If one wanted stability, even if one’s strength increased, one would only be a weakling!

Why was Lin Yi able to fight people of a higher level? It was because of the countless life and death experiences!

The damn thing smiled in the Jade space as well-he didn’t say it out loud, but he was still praising Lin Yi in his heart!

It was only after midnight when they left the nine-story glazed Pagoda.

The flow of time in the nine-story glazed Pagoda was a great help. If he were outside, he would need at least three to five days to digest the nine-in-one Crimson flame hundred refined fruit.

Not to mention the magnitude of the commotion, after three to five days, it was estimated that those Academies who came to participate in the assessment would have already flown thousands of miles on the way back.

Lin Yi’s excitement had calmed down, so he put away the nine-story Pagoda and the formation calmly and slept for a while, waiting for Lu sanjian to wake him up.

“Morning … Eh, Dean Sima, you look very good. You’re very different from yesterday!”

Lu sanjian noticed the difference the moment he saw Lin Yi. Fortunately, Lin Yi’s new body was still very tender and didn’t have the feeling of shedding. It was just a little more transparent and radiant.

“Haha, maybe you slept well last night. After all, you’ve been working for three days. You’re in a completely different state than you were yesterday. I see that you’re glowing too, Dean Lu!” The man said.

Lin Yi said with a smile-his strength level wouldn’t be revealed before the fight, anyway.

Lu sanjian felt that it made sense, so he didn’t probe further. After all, what could have happened in one night?

Even if Lin Yi revealed his strength now, Lu sanjian wouldn’t suspect anything. He’d only think that Lin Yi’s ability to hide his strength was superb, and that he could reveal whatever level he wanted to.

“It’s about time, Dean Sima, shall we go over?”

Lu sanjian wanted to go to the third Test with Lin Yi, so Lin Yi naturally wouldn’t object.

There was still nothing for the students to do today. After giving Tang Yungui and the others a few instructions, he left the station with the two instructors and Lu sanjian.

He’d already made up his mind on the way here-if the third round was a competition, he’d either make something if he could, or give up if he couldn ‘t.

He’d already reached the peak of earth split, but Lin Yi still wasn’t confident in making Mystic second level and above pills.

No matter how rich his theoretical knowledge was, his practical skills were still too weak.

By the time they arrived, the other Academies had already arrived.
