Chapter 251: Chapter 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

「Inside the dormitory.」

A low-humming silver drone hovered precisely outside the window, its mechanical arm extending a long, alloy weapon case.

After Lin Yi signed for the delivery, he opened it impatiently.

Inside the case, a long spear lay quietly.

It was the Tier Three Star Spear that Lin Yi had just redeemed!

The spear’s shaft was a deep, pure silver-gray, as if it had been forged from countless fine stars. Flecks of faint light flickered within the metal, flowing endlessly.

The lines of the spearhead were fluid and sharp, its cold glint contained within. Just looking at it gave one the keen sense that it could tear through the air.

The shaft was cool to the touch, yet exceptionally tough, conveying a sense of immense power.

"A fine spear!"

Lin Yi exclaimed in praise. With a flick of his wrist, the Star Spear instantly transformed into a silver flash of lightning!

VMMMM!

The spear tip tore through the air, letting out a sharp, vibrating hum!

Qi and Blood Power surged into the spear’s shaft without the slightest resistance. The star-like motes of light on its body suddenly flared, and as he brandished it, they left dazzling silver trails in the air, like a river of stars pouring down!

The entire room was instantly filled with a howling gale and a flurry of afterimages!

Whether it was the shaft’s resilience, its ability to withstand immense impact, the unimpeded flow of its energy circuits, or the conversion efficiency of Qi and Blood Power, it was far superior to his previous Tier One Owl Dragon Spear. It was on a completely different level!

After an exhilarating run-through of a basic spear form, Lin Yi stopped, still wanting more.

He looked at the Star Spear in his hand with satisfaction, and with a slight thought...

SHING! The Star Spear vanished.

Lin Yi then took out the spear bag containing the Owl Dragon Spear.

SHING! The Owl Dragon Spear disappeared as well.

In an instant, both spears had been stored inside the inconspicuous black ring on his left hand.

’This Storage Ring is so convenient. I can travel light from now on. In future battles, I just need to flip my palm, and the spear will appear in my hand instantly.’

Next, Lin Yi began to pack his belongings.

He didn’t really have many personal items.

Just a few changes of durable clothes, folded neatly.

However, unlike when he had first arrived at the training camp traveling light, there was now a bulging, hefty, and enormous package beside him.

Inside the package were over a hundred Jade Boxes, each smooth to the touch and about twenty centimeters square. An almost imperceptible spiritual glow flowed across their surfaces.

These were special containers designed to preserve rare materials, capable of locking in the Essence of Spiritual Qi to the greatest extent and preventing it from dissipating naturally.

He had long planned to venture deep into the treacherous Taihang Mountain Range, and he had bought these Jade Boxes in advance, intending to use them to store the treasures in his cave stronghold.

’But now...’

He casually brushed his left hand over the bundle of clothes and the pile of Jade Boxes. With a slight thought, an invisible spatial fluctuation rippled outward.

The next moment, the luggage on the floor vanished without a trace, as if it had never been there.

After putting all his personal belongings into the Storage Ring, Lin Yi took one last look around the dormitory where he had spent a good amount of time. His gaze was calm, without a trace of reluctance to leave.

He turned and strode away. His movements were crisp and decisive, and his figure quickly disappeared through the dormitory doorway.

...

A short while later, he arrived at the training camp’s main gate.

A red light scanned Lin Yi’s body from top to bottom.

"Cadet Lin Yi, identity confirmed!"

A cold, synthesized electronic voice sounded.

Accompanied by the low hum of machinery, the main gate slowly slid open to the sides.

Lin Yi took a step out.

He was once again bathed under the vast, open sky.

He subconsciously looked up. The indigo sky was high and clear, and the sunlight was a bit glaring. A surreal feeling, as if he had stepped into another world, washed over him.

The day-in, day-out bitter training inside the camp stood in stark contrast to the feeling of freedom at this moment.

’Time is precious; there’s no room for sentimentality.’

Lin Yi quickly took out his communicator, his fingertips tapping rapidly on the light screen.

Taihang Mountain was far from here; he couldn’t just run there on his own two feet.

He wasn’t his Mosquito Avatar, and he couldn’t fly.

Right now, his only option was to take a taxi.

’I’ve heard that when a Martial Artist breaks through to the Fifth Grade Realm, they can begin to ride the wind and soar through the sky...’

A flicker of longing passed through Lin Yi’s mind.

He was currently at Third Grade Perfection. Fifth Grade didn’t seem too far away.

Soon, he had booked a trip on a ride-hailing platform.

Origin—Training Camp Main Gate.

Destination—Bedrock Martial Artist Town, at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

"Hiss... 580 bucks?"

Seeing the estimated fare pop up, Lin Yi couldn’t help but suck in a breath, wincing inwardly at the cost.

The price was nearly three times the normal rate!

But on second thought, it made sense to him.

’The Taihang Mountain region teems with Demon Beasts and is fraught with danger. A driver making this trip is risking life and limb. It’s only natural for the price to be several times higher.’

A little over ten minutes after he placed the order, a taxi pulled up steadily in front of him.

Lin Yi opened the car door and slid into the back seat. A faint smell of leather cleaner mixed with a car air freshener wafted over him.

"Last four of your phone number?" the middle-aged driver in the driver’s seat asked, looking through the rearview mirror. His voice was a bit raspy.

"0996," Lin Yi replied.

The driver confirmed it on his console, then said, "It’s a bit of a long trip, about two hours. Buckle up, young man."

The engine gave a low hum as the car accelerated, speeding off in the direction of the Taihang Mountain Range.

Perhaps finding the journey long, the driver struck up a conversation, his tone tinged with envy.

"Looking at you, you must be a student from the training camp, right? My son’s a senior in high school this year. I hear that place only accepts the top one thousand students in the whole province. That’s incredible!"

He studied Lin Yi’s youthful face in the rearview mirror.

Lin Yi just gave a polite smile. "It’s alright. I got lucky."
