"But you can’t fool my eyes. You’ve gotten stronger again, and not just by a little."
Her tone was calm, but it made Lin Ye’s heart skip a beat.
"This is a good thing, and I won’t pry into your real secrets."
"But I hope you will use this power to fight against the alien races."
"Tell me, will you?"
The moment her words fell, an indescribably terrifying pressure emanated from Yin Liulan, enveloping Lin Ye.
Lin Ye felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain, making it difficult to even breathe.
And at that very moment, a line of text he had never seen before finally appeared above Yin Liulan’s head in his vision—a system tag so crimson it was almost black, as if it were dripping blood.
[LV.91]!
Lin Ye’s pupils contracted sharply.
Level 91!
’Is she only in the Celestial Human Realm at this level?’
’It seems the levels corresponding to each major realm can’t be calculated simply as ten levels per realm.’
Faced with Yin Liulan’s seemingly casual question, Lin Ye had a strong premonition that he couldn’t say anything against his conscience right now.
If he did, his Sea of Consciousness would suffer irreparable damage.
’This is... the legendary Heart-Questioning of the Celestials!’
After a Martial Artist enters the Divine Realm, their main focus of enhancement is the Sea of Consciousness and Spiritual Power. Upon reaching the Celestial Human Realm, this ability undergoes a qualitative transformation.
Under the absolute suppression of a higher realm, lies have nowhere to hide.
Lin Ye took a deep breath, faced the pressure that threatened to crush him, and spoke solemnly, one word at a time:
"I will leave none of them alive. I’ll kill every single one I see!"
This was a vow from the bottom of his heart; he had a clear conscience.
Ever since his father was severely injured on the front lines, the seeds of revenge had long been planted in his heart.
’These alien races... they all deserve to die!’
In the next moment, the terrifying pressure vanished without a trace.
Yin Liulan seemed satisfied with his answer. She said nothing more and turned to leave.
But after taking just two steps, she seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned back to ask:
"You have a Martial Arts Peak account, right? Are you in the New Star Sequence?"
Though Lin Ye didn’t understand why she suddenly asked, he nodded.
"There are still three or four days until the camp closes."
"If you have free time, go and boost your ranking in the New Star Sequence."
After saying this, she turned and walked away, leaving only her back and one last sentence.
"If you want to get a better Martial Hall contract."
As Yin Liulan walked away, a ripple of emotion she herself found unfamiliar stirred in her heart.
’What’s wrong with me today?’
’To actually feel a trace of... hostility toward a junior?’
’No, it can’t be called hostility.’
Soon, Yin Liulan understood.
Ever since she started teaching, she had never felt an emotion called "threat" from any student.
But just now, in that single instant, she had felt it from Lin Ye.
Even if it was so faint it was almost negligible.
The speed at which this kid was catching up to her realm and strength... it was simply too fast, so fast that it even startled her.
That was why she had asked him that question today.
...
On the other side, Lin Ye also instantly understood Yin Liulan’s meaning.
It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in Martial Arts Peak that he had attracted the attention of the Firewood Martial Hall in the first place.
If he could climb to a higher rank in the New Star Sequence, say, the top one thousand, or even the top one hundred.
Then, he would completely enter the sights of all the Martial Halls’ headhunters, and even their upper management.
By then, getting a better contract and obtaining the incredibly precious Asking Dust would naturally become much easier.
Since entering the training camp, he had either been in the Nirvana Tower killing monsters to level up or preparing to break through to the Gang Condensation Realm. He really hadn’t been online in a long time.
’Right. After I take stock of my gains and allocate my points, I’ll go online and continue playing ranked matches.’
The very next moment Lin Ye had this thought, a familiar notification sound rang in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that the Host intends to bravely scale the peaks. Challenge quest issued!]
[With your absolute power, make the foolish adventurers tremble under your tyrannical might!]
[Quest Name: A New History!]
[Quest Objective: Log into Martial Arts Peak, complete ranked matches in the New Star Sequence, and continue until you break the record for the longest winning streak!]
[Current Progress: 124-win streak / 166-win streak]
[Quest Rewards: 300,000 EXP, Skill Points x5!]
[Special Reward: Spiritual Array Awakening Progress +50~100%!]
[Note: After the Host completes the 166-win streak, you will immediately receive 50% Spiritual Array Awakening progress. As the number of consecutive wins increases, the special reward will continue to stack, up to a maximum of +100% progress!]
[Excess awakening progress will be converted into reserves for the Host’s next Martial Arts Spirituality awakening, but will be adjusted based on the difficulty of the second Martial Arts Spirituality the Host is about to awaken.]
Lin Ye was stunned.
’The system really gets me!’
Continuing to play ranked was to get a better contract.
And a better contract was essentially a means to get more Asking Dust.
But now, the system had placed the Martial Arts Spirituality awakening progress reward right in front of him, easily within reach.
This was a godsend.
Lin Ye was instantly filled with motivation.
These two things didn’t conflict at all.
Even if his Martial Arts Spirituality awakened early with the system’s help, getting a high-level contract and more Asking Dust later wouldn’t be a waste.
This Asking Dust could allow him to continue strengthening his already awakened spirituality, and even induce the next one.
