Despite the man's sharp and insidious words, Chen Yi remained calm, though he was pondering what the man had said.

younger brother?

Is this beautiful woman Wang Bian's sister?

"Buzz!"

As the wrathful fire of the earth dissipated, Chen Yi felt as if his body had been drained of all its energy, leaving him with not a single drop of magical power.

He spoke weakly, "Could it be that having more talent than your brother is related to falling into the demonic path?"

The beautiful woman chuckled and said, "Of course not. It's just that you were once unknown, yet now you've reached such an unbelievable level. It's hard not to be suspicious..."

Chen Yi sneered inwardly: If I am an evil cultivator, then what is the plan? An evil god?

Of course, he couldn't reveal the details of the planning system to anyone, so he could only try to find a way to exonerate himself.

"If I were a heretical cultivator, why would I put myself in such an extreme situation?"

The beautiful woman glanced around with a hint of surprise and doubt, and was about to speak when she was interrupted.

"I think it's all a misunderstanding."

Unexpectedly, Wang Bian came back and even spoke up for Chen Yi.

"Sister Wang Lin, if Chen Yi were an evil cultivator, I would probably be dead by now," Wang Bian said to the beautiful woman.

If there are evil cultivators lurking among the students, then the other party's purpose is nothing more than to take the lives of some top students, thereby weakening the reserve power of the righteous path.

However, Chen Yi simply had the Earthly Yin Wrathful Fire Spirit throw him off the stage, showing no intention of harming him whatsoever.

"......"

Wang Lin remained silent.

If what Wang Bian said is true, then perhaps I'm just overthinking it.

But she had secretly investigated Chen Yi after yesterday's beast-taming test.

It only took him a little over a month to go from being an unknown nobody to becoming a household name.

His cultivation level has risen from the third level of Qi Refining to the tenth level.

In terms of background, both parents are cultivators, but they are not in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom for many years, supposedly to be exploring overseas secret realms.

Later, something seemed to have happened at the secret realm, and they disappeared without a trace...

Apart from that, Chen Yi had no other background.

How did such a person acquire minor supernatural powers?

She couldn't think of any other possibility besides a gift from an evil god.

"If you want to know the origin of my minor supernatural abilities, I wonder if this letter of recommendation can dispel your doubts?"

Chen Yi calmly took out the letter of recommendation from the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

"Guiyuan Sword Sect?"

Wang Lin's expression hardened.

It is said that several Golden Core cultivators are stationed in the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

If Chen Yi truly gained the favor of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, then the origin of the minor divine power becomes clear.

As for delving into which master his minor supernatural abilities came from, Wang Lin didn't have the courage to do so...

After all, the secrets of a Golden Core cultivator are not to be pried into by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like her.

In contrast, Chen Yi directly made the Golden Core cultivator his scapegoat...

"Then how do you explain the fact that your cultivation level has increased so much in such a short time?" Wang Lin asked again.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said it's talent and hard work?"

Wang Lin fell silent.

She had also investigated this matter.

According to information provided by informants, Chen Yi's comeback can be traced back to the 100-day countdown rally.

He uttered ten resounding and passionate oaths in public, and then began to cherish every moment.

Many people saw him practicing cultivation when they bumped into him.

He even left his dormitory at 2:30 a.m. on several occasions to begin his spiritual practice.

Given all this, it seems not impossible for a genius like Wang Bian to have advanced from the third level of Qi Refining to his current level.

After all, she had also heard that Chen Yi had obtained many opportunities in the Yinshan Secret Realm.

Perhaps Chen Yi's cultivation stagnated in the past simply because of issues with his Dao heart.

On the day of the hundred-day countdown rally, he suddenly had an epiphany, his Dao heart was broken and then rebuilt, and he ushered in an earth-shattering reversal.

Wang Lin has already begun to try and salvage his situation...

“Even so, you still have to stay in the training ground,” she said to Chen Yi, though her tone had softened considerably.

Chen Yi nodded slightly: "That's natural."

He knew that the entire training ground was now under defense, and if any evil cultivators were among the students, they would be trapped with no chance of escape.

“Brother Chen, let’s step down first! As far as I know, Liu Yuetong of Jiuding is just as strong as you and me, or rather, as strong as me. We can go and take a look.”

"And on the Beast Barbarian side, there seems to be a ruthless person there, I think his name is Man Tian?"

Wang Bian said politely to Chen Yi.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin looked at his younger brother with great surprise.

The fact that Chen Yi could make Wang Bian call him a brother shows that Chen Yi truly won him over.

After all, although his younger brother would call anyone who accepted his cigarettes "brother," it was just a polite way of putting it.

But that "Brother Chen" just now was a genuine acknowledgment.

Chen Yi and Wang Bian arrived together at another martial arts arena.

A fierce battle is taking place right here.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Suddenly, the three bronze cauldrons enlarged and slammed down on a certain muscular figure.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

That strong figure repelled the three bronze cauldrons with his physical strength alone.

"The strongest of the Beastmen is indeed worthy of his reputation." Liu Xian praised without reservation.

Man Tian laughed heartily: "You, the second strongest among the Nine Cauldrons, have truly broadened my horizons."

Liu Xian was a master who had condensed true spiritual energy. His mastery of the true spiritual energy of the Copper Mountain Furnace made even Man Tian feel immense pressure.

"Given your background, you shouldn't even lack true spiritual energy. Are you deliberately hiding your abilities, or...?" Liu Xian probed.

Man Tian answered simply, "I haven't found a suitable one yet."

Liu Xian nodded, "That's a possibility."

"Although you lack true spiritual energy, your physique is so impressive that I would call you the best in the five-school joint examination!" he exclaimed sincerely.

He could sense the terrifying power of Man Tian's physical body; it was definitely not the result of ordinary body-refining methods.

Off the field, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Man Tian.

Isn't the body-refining method that Man Tian demonstrated the secret technique of the Blood Furnace?

But since it's also a method that reaches the "perfect" level, why does it display such terrifying power...?

Even though Chen Yi had mastered both of his body-refining techniques to perfection, he still couldn't achieve a physical body as exaggerated as Man Tian's.

He could only think of one possibility.

"His 'Secret Method of Qi and Blood Furnace' has reached a state of perfection..."

Chen Yi was curious about what kind of opportunity allowed him to cultivate this body-refining method to the "transcendental level".

So he chose to continue watching.

The battle between Liu Xian and Man Tian has reached a fever pitch.

Both sides gave it their all.

Unaware that the contest between Chen Yi and Wang Bian had already ended, they thought that as long as they defeated their opponent, they would have a chance to squeeze into the top five...

After staring at it for a few minutes, Chen Yi finally figured out the secret behind Man Tian's powerful physical body.

"Beast control?" he murmured softly.

That's right, Man Tian must have formed a contract with a powerful demon beast, and their relationship is so close that they've reached the blood fusion stage.

Thanks to the feedback from the bloodline power of that demon beast, Man Tian possessed a portion of that demon beast's bloodline power.

His gaze was intense as he asked, "Could it be... that the method to reach the 'Transcendent Realm' of the Blood Furnace Secret Technique is to draw the blood and qi of a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast into the body and use the internal furnace to burn the blood?"

However, he had also managed to fuse blood with a Foundation Establishment stage demon...

Back in the Yinshan Secret Realm, he had fused his blood with the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, thereby obtaining a portion of the Thunder Demon Magic Power.

But why hasn't my Qi and Blood Furnace Secret Technique reached the "Transformation Realm"?

"No, there must be some detail I've overlooked..."
