Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 256 Grinding Stone

"As for who will win or lose, it’s still unknown. The strengths of the two are not very different. Feng Lan Sword Lord’s Sword Dao is more profound, but that Water Monkey’s physical body is extremely powerful. They each have their advantages!"

Chen Jia explained leisurely.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A series of explosions erupted. The battle between Feng Lan Sword Lord and Yuan Qi grew more terrifying. Both sides were already bleeding in the void, suffering injuries. However, compared to Feng Lan Sword Lord, Yuan Qi’s injuries were much lighter.

"Hiss! Such courage. This Feng Lan Sword Lord is actually honing his skills."

Chen Jia inside the Soul Nourishing Ring suddenly shouted, his voice filled with disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

Zhong Lin asked curiously.

"It means this Feng Lan Sword Lord is simply a madman. He’s treating Yuan Qi as a Grinding Stone, trying to sharpen his own essence, energy, and spirit. Tsk tsk, are today’s youngsters all so arrogant? Isn’t he afraid of overreaching?"

Yuan Qi in the void clearly realized Feng Lan Sword Lord’s intention, and his expression suddenly darkened. After a blow, he retreated and stared at Feng Lan Sword Lord.

"Such courage, aren’t you afraid of breaking yourself?"

"If you have the ability, you can try."

At this moment, Feng Lan Sword Lord was full of fighting spirit. Although he was wounded everywhere, his fighting intent grew stronger and his strength did indeed steadily increase in the previous exchanges.

"Enough, I’m not interested in being your Grinding Stone here. Die!"

Yuan Qi’s expression turned cold, and his aura became more overwhelming.

"Since that’s the case, let’s end this battle here!"

Feng Lan Sword Lord no longer had the previous seriousness on his face, only some unfinished intent.

Fighting with an opponent who could bring him pressure, and not overwhelming pressure at that, was a comprehensive growth for a person. Such opponents weren’t easy for him to find, but unfortunately, the other party didn’t want to continue.

As he spoke, Feng Lan Sword Lord’s aura instantly changed. If it was filled with fighting spirit just now, it now became incomparably serene, as if it had integrated completely with the heavens and earth, making him appear more transcendent.

"Sword Slash."

Feng Lan Sword Lord slowly raised his hand and then suddenly pressed down.

Above his head, thunder gathered and merged with the long sword in his hand, transforming into a massive Thunder Dragon and descending explosively.

Boom!

The explosion roared, and thunder flashed brilliantly. The Thunder Giant Dragon, formed by the fusion of countless thunder and Spirit Sword, flickered its form suddenly, piercing toward Yuan Qi’s forehead in an instant.

Such a terrifying scene left Yuan Qi in shock, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness against the Sword Dragon formed by the convergence of all power and heavenly thunder.

He realized that he hadn’t really exerted his full strength just now.

Yuan Qi roared angrily, horizontally swinging the giant blade in his hand, but as it slashed, it struck an insurmountable barrier, unable to make any progress or break through his opponent’s defense.

"Break!"

Feng Lan Sword Lord slowly uttered a word, and as if his words were commands, the force of heavens and earth instantly shifted, and the Thunder Sword Dragon let out a dragon’s roar toward the sky.

"Not good."

Yuan Qi’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, as a massive sense of crisis arose in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he immediately retreated, attempting to escape directly into the sea.

Unfortunately, no speed could match lightning. He was directly enveloped by the Sword Dragon, unable to dodge.

Feng Lan Sword Lord took a step, appearing instantaneously in front of Yuan Qi, lightly pointing a Sword Finger on Yuan Qi’s chest.

Boom!

Suddenly, a mist of blood burst out from Yuan Qi’s chest, blasting a fist-sized hole into his chest. The ethereal Xuandan within was also shattered on the spot under this force.

The Xuandan refined by a Martial Artist was their lifeblood, the transformation of their essence, energy, and spirit. The shattering of the Xuandan also meant the extinguishment of the soul.

Pfft!

Yuan Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura fluctuating wildly, like a candle in the wind.

"Zhong Lin, this Water Monkey Yuan Qi is dead. Quickly, don’t hold back your strength, hunt the Sea Beasts," Chen Jia shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin hesitated no longer and directly leapt into the Sea Beasts, smashing the head of one Water Monkey with a punch, then quickly storing its body in the Storage Bracelet.

The thunder in the sky dissipated, and the corpse of the Sea Ape Clan Patriarch Yuan Qi fell from the sky.

Such a scene was witnessed by everyone. The Sea Ape Clan began to flee in terror, while the Martial Artists from Luoxing Islands started frenziedly chasing and hunting the Sea Ape Clan Martial Artists like cats that smelled fish.

The Sea Clan, just like enhanced versions of Sea Beasts, were treasures throughout and not to be missed.

"Kill, kill these Water Monkeys."

"Haha, don’t fight with me, this one’s mine!"

"Second brother, you and I should work together. If we kill two more, we’ll have enough Spirit Stones to buy Sea Expansion Pills. By then, you and I will step into the Transcendent Realm together, living eight hundred years of earthly bliss."

"Yes, big brother."

At this moment, everyone was bursting with endless passion. Zhong Lin, having made the first move, had already killed dozens of Water Monkeys with his Fivefold Dragon Elephant Golden Body, including two Spirit Embryo Realm Water Monkeys, his gains truly massive.

Very quickly, this great battle ended, with the Sea Ape Clan almost annihilated, only a few dozen left escaping into the sea. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Though the forces of Luoxing Islands suffered some casualties, it was negligible compared to the harvest.

The greatest harvest undoubtedly belonged to the Seven Stars Sect, as they had a Sect Master at the half-step Xuandan Realm overseeing the void, deterring other Luoxing Islands forces from competing with them.

Zhong Lin was in excellent spirits, greatly satisfied with his gains.

"Elder Zhong."

Ouyang Daoyong flew in front of Zhong Lin, looking at him with a complex expression.

Earlier, though he was being delayed by a Spirit Embryo Realm Water Monkey, he witnessed everything that happened to Wan Pu’s group, feeling furious but helpless, watching helplessly.

However, Zhong Lin’s mighty combat power that followed left him deeply shocked, realizing he must have a great secret, but compared to saving the lives of eight disciples, the so-called secret didn’t matter. After all, to cultivate to such a realm, who didn’t have fortuitous encounters? The only difference was the size of those opportunities.

Most importantly, he had no certainty of defeating Zhong Lin. Thus, the best approach was to fully recruit him.

A person capable of killing Spirit Embryo Realm experts, in addition to being a Fifth Grade Alchemist, recruiting such a character was the best course of action.

With this in mind, Ouyang Daoyong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Elder Zhong, for your timely rescue. I am endlessly grateful."

His voice was extremely sincere, unmistakably treating Zhong Lin as an equal.

Zhong Lin stepped forward, gently supporting with both hands, and said with a smile, "Sect Master is too courteous. I am also a member of Purple Cloud Sect. Since I joined the sect, both Sect Master and others have treated me with courtesy, so naturally, I would not stand by and watch. This is also what I should do."

Ouyang Daoyong solemnly said, "If Elder Zhong ever needs anything, just say the word, and the entire Purple Cloud Sect will fully cooperate. If Elder Zhong wishes, I am willing to offer the position of Deputy Sect Master."
