Chapter 262 - 148: The Second Lesson in Camp: Spirit Observation Skill
Lin Ye’s heart began to beat a little faster.
Finally!
The greatest obstacle that had plagued him for so long, preventing him from leveling up efficiently, was finally resolved!
Immediately after, an even denser barrage of notifications washed over him like a tide.
[You have cultivated the Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding and gained 62 EXP!]
[You have cultivated the Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding and gained 62 EXP!]
[You have cultivated the Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding and gained 62 EXP!]
...
Both the amount of EXP gained per instance and the frequency of the notifications far surpassed any of his previous cultivation sessions!
It was too fast!
The overwhelming advantage of his Cultivation Technique’s rank, the boost from the concentrated source energy, and his own freakish physique—these three factors combined to create a leveling speed that could only be described as riding a rocket!
Having gotten a taste for it, Lin Ye held nothing back, completely immersing himself in the pleasure of growing stronger at such a rapid pace!
As he entered a true state of cultivation, the terrifying vortex of source energy in front of him swelled in size once more!
Zhang Daoxuan opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
He glanced at Lin Ye, his competitive spirit ignited.
He snapped his eyes shut, and the aura around him erupted with a ROAR!
Another equally massive vortex of source energy brazenly formed around him and began to contend with Lin Ye’s.
For a time, two massive vortexes spun wildly within the Martial Arts Hall. They pulled against each other, fighting for every inch of space, for every last Source Energy Particle.
Zhang Daoxuan went all out, managing to forcefully reclaim nearly forty percent of the source energy control from Lin Ye’s grasp. The two colossal vortexes waxed and waned, and for a moment, neither could overpower the other.
"Hahaha, interesting!"
Dongfang Zhen laughed heartily. As he watched the two of them compete, a glint of battle lust appeared in his eyes!
"I’ll join in!"
He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
A wave of source energy several times more terrifying than Lin Ye’s and Zhang Daoxuan’s combined suddenly erupted!
A gigantic vortex that blotted out the sky descended with the domineering air of an absolute ruler, instantly enveloping the entire Martial Arts Hall!
The balance of power formed by Lin Ye and Zhang Daoxuan was effortlessly and instantly torn apart by this third behemoth!
The vortex was so immense that it passed right through the walls of the Martial Arts Hall, creating an energy storm and stirring up gusts of wind outside!
Inside the Martial Arts Hall.
Lu Jiuxiao stared at the three terrifying vortexes—one supreme and two powerful—that had devoured nearly all the source energy. He clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white and veins bulged on his arms.
Finally, he too joined the silent war.
In a corner, Wei Shuying, who had been sitting quietly, slowly opened her eyes. A strange light flickered in her cold, clear pupils before an incredibly frigid wave of Spirit fluctuation spread out.
The fifth vortex took shape.
However, the scale of their two vortexes was on a completely different level compared to the three monsters before them; they could only be considered the third tier.
They could only barely partition the dregs of source energy left over from the trio’s frenzied consumption.
"I can’t take it... I feel like I’m suffocating..."
"The source energy... I can’t feel any of it at all..."
"Damn it, how are we supposed to cultivate like this?! They’re sucking up all the air!"
Finally, the ordinary students could no longer bear the pressure. Pale-faced, they scrambled and stumbled out of the Martial Arts Hall.
They stood outside, gasping for great lungfuls of air, with nothing but endless despair on their faces.
’How are we supposed to live like this?’
It seemed if they wanted to cultivate, they would have to wait for these monsters to rest and come back to scrounge for the leftovers...
Among the remaining crowd in the Martial Arts Hall, a young man who kept his head down, completely hidden by the large hood of his black sweatshirt, silently began to cultivate.
No one noticed that as the five massive vortexes spun madly, some of the purest energy would inevitably escape.
Like tired birds returning to the forest, this energy silently drifted toward his position and merged into his body.
And yet, from start to finish, he never once sat cross-legged or practiced any breathing exercises.
Only Lin Hanshan, in a moment of distraction from his shock, happened to glance over and notice this strange young man. A flicker of doubt crossed his cloudy old eyes.
...
Another hour later, the Cultivation Technique class, which could only be described as a battle of gods, finally ended.
It was now past one in the afternoon.
With their stomachs completely empty, the students made their way to the school’s cafeteria.
The moment Lin Ye stepped into the cafeteria, he was captivated by the sight before him.
It was less a cafeteria and more a high-end buffet restaurant.
The long serving tables were laden with all sorts of dishes he had never even heard of.
One pot of soup had a faint golden sheen. The placard next to it listed Spiritual Objects Lin Ye had never seen or heard of, and its stated effect was to relieve fatigue after drinking.
A piece of roasted meat sizzled with glistening fat, its flesh a strange, pale blue.
It must have been the meat of some kind of mutated beast.
Just by smelling these foods, Lin Ye could feel the immense energy contained within them.
Lin Ye didn’t hold back, heaping his plate with every single dish.
Once it was piled high like a small mountain, he found a corner to sit in and began to feast.
He started with the piece of strange-looking meat.
The meat melted the moment it entered his mouth. A warm current flowed down his esophagus and into his stomach, quickly transforming into pure energy that replenished the stamina he had just expended during cultivation.
Lin Ye glanced at the information for his daily quest, [Abyssal Maw].
His eyes widened in shock.
Just from eating a single piece of that beast meat, his quest progress had shot up by over three thousand calories of energy!
