"Bang—bang—bang—"
In the starry sky, Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng's fight was fast and loud.
The others on the warship had been watching this battle closely.
Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng clashed several times that year, and they had gotten used to it.
Seeing Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng's display of strength, they were once again amazed.
They're too strong; their combined strength is simply too great.
That's too fast, the two of them broke through too quickly.
"Our lord's strength is already enough to fight against a peak level nine cultivator, and even most peak level nine cultivators are no match for him..."
"This girl's strength is about the same as that of a typical late-stage level nine cultivator..."
Fang Ao sighed.
He had realized that his talent was far inferior to that of his lord and the lord's clan.
Although his strength improved somewhat this year, it was only a slight improvement due to his own efforts. It was only because Lin Yun had previously raised his mental power to the peak of level nine that his strength saw a significant increase.
In addition, Lin Yun has given him some resources over the past year.
Although he hasn't broken through to the mid-stage of the tenth level yet, he estimates that he can now fight against ordinary mid-stage tenth level cultivators without being at a disadvantage.
Relying on yourself will result in too little progress and too slow progress.
He wants to make rapid progress, and he can only do so through the Lord.
A glint of light flashed in Fang Ao's eyes.
He could sense that this girl in her twenties had already raised her mental strength level to the upper tenth grade, which was an extremely terrifying level of mental strength. If she were to cultivate the mental system, she would already be considered a late-stage level ten cultivator.
The members of the Lord's Clan all possess strong spiritual power, almost all of them surpassing the realm of their respective cultivation systems.
The Lord has an ability to raise a person's spiritual power level.
He had a vague idea of this.
If the master were to raise his spiritual power by one or two more levels, his strength would be even greater, and his cultivation speed would be even faster. This is the right path.
"Are these two young men Fang Keqing's juniors? Late stage of level nine... peak stage of level nine... such terrifying strength..."
"I remember, the last time we fought, these two were only at the mid-to-late stage of level nine. Their progress is so fast. It must be because the imperial family bestowed powerful resources upon them, and Elder Fang used them..."
"Even so, they are still very impressive. As the saying goes, you can't make a wall out of mud. They are so powerful now, and they are not weak themselves. Many people say that Fang Keqing comes from a low-level cultivation civilization. It seems that everyone has underestimated him. With such clansmen, it's no wonder that he looks down on our administrative planet."
On the nearby administrative planet, many powerful figures were also monitoring the battle in the starry sky, and some of them sighed with emotion.
A late-stage level nine cultivator, or a peak level nine cultivator—these qualities already lay the foundation for a powerful force in the Cordis Empire.
They also thought that Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng were just Fang Ao's juniors.
Indeed, Lin Yun's current strength is only at the peak of the ninth level, Lin Mengmeng's is only at the late stage of the ninth level, while Fang Ao is at the early stage of the tenth level.
Although they didn't know Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng's ages, they didn't look very old.
In comparison, Fang Ao was much older.
In addition, Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng were with Fang Ao, so they were naturally regarded as Fang Ao's juniors.
...
"Hmph! I'm still no match for you! But I'm almost there! I'm going back! When I break through next time, I'll definitely surpass you!" Finally, the battle between Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng ended. Lin Mengmeng naturally couldn't beat Lin Yun, but the gap wasn't as big as before. She clenched her pink and white little fists and huffed.
call--
The next moment, she teleported away.
"hehe."
Lin Yun smiled slightly.
Although he felt pressured by Lin Mengmeng's current level of strength, he was genuinely happy for her.
Even if, in the future, the other party's strength truly surpasses his, it will still be the same.
call--
The next moment, Lin Yun also disappeared into the starry sky.
Inside the warship, Lin Mengmeng was chatting happily with Xia Qingqing.
Lin Yun had originally planned to go find Xia Qingqing, but after sensing her presence, he didn't go.
Training room.
Lin Yun carefully considered the gains and losses of his fight with Lin Mengmeng, and occasionally took action to verify them.
Now, the difference in strength between him and Lin Mengmeng is not significant. In addition, he held back his strength during the fight, so he still gained a lot from this battle.
In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.
Xia Qingqing's room.
"elder brother……"
Upon seeing Lin Yun appear, Xia Qingqing went up to him and smiled.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you with all that work on those subordinates these past few days," Xia Qingqing said, hugging Lin Yun. Lin Yun affectionately stroked Xia Qingqing's head.
This girl is good in every way, except she has too many worries.
“My talent for martial arts isn’t that great, so I might as well focus my efforts on helping my brother in other ways. Anyway, he’s there for us to deal with, isn’t he?” Xia Qingqing stuck out her pink tongue and said.
"Don't talk nonsense. Your talent for martial arts is quite good. It's just that you've been too distracted lately," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.
He wasn't saying this to comfort Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing has now broken through to the late stage of the Starry Sky Realm, which is quite a fast pace.
If you take into account, she only broke through one level in the past year, so her cultivation speed was really not slow.
Even now, Xia Qingqing's martial arts level is among the best in Lin Yuanshan, Zhang Haoran, Zhao Gang, and Lin Jianfei's group. Those people have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and Lin Jianfei has been through many years of trials and tribulations. This shows Xia Qingqing's talent in martial arts.
However, Lin Mengmeng's cultivation speed was too fast.
"Brother, I want to cultivate the mental element." Xia Qingqing nestled in Lin Yun's arms, suddenly looked up at Lin Yun, and whispered.
"Hmm? Why did you suddenly think of cultivating the mental system?" Lin Yun asked, his brows furrowing.
He had considered the possibility of cultivating a mental cultivation system himself, or having his subordinates cultivate a mental cultivation system.
However, the cost is too high.
For example, it would take him 50 billion mental crystals to raise his mental strength from the early stage of level nine to the early stage of level ten.
Some mental spells, defensive spells, and offensive spells are even more expensive.
At the same level, any one of the sects would have at least hundreds of billions of spiritual crystals, or even more.
Practicing just two or three techniques requires two to three hundred billion spiritual crystals.
If one were to learn more, it would be quite normal to easily spend trillions of spiritual crystals.
How many spirit crystals does a robot with the strength of a level ten cultivator have?
Having only a mental power level without the corresponding mental skills is not enough.
Speaking of which, learning martial arts skills is quite expensive for him now.
Level 1 martial arts skill, beginner level, ten spiritual crystals.
Level 8 martial arts skill, beginner level, 100 million spiritual crystals.
It may not seem like much, but once you upgrade the level of these martial arts techniques, the consumption becomes terrifying.
Lin Yun is currently in the late stage of the Nebula Realm, at the eighth level of martial arts.
To upgrade any one of the eighth-level martial arts techniques to its peak level would require hundreds of billions of spirit crystals.
Fortunately, Lin Yun is now learning far fewer martial arts techniques than he did when he was learning lower-level ones. There are only twenty or thirty techniques at each level, from level six to eight. Moreover, he learns most of them up to the beginner level and then comprehends them on his own. He doesn't necessarily have to cultivate them to the peak level to break through to the next realm.
Only for a very few martial arts techniques that Lin Yun felt were of great use to him would he spend spiritual crystals to improve his cultivation level.
Now, after Lin Yun made such a big gain, he has only managed to upgrade two martial arts skills to their peak by spending spiritual crystals.
This level of exertion was what allowed Lin Yun to barely withstand it.
Logically speaking, this is the amount of energy Lin Yun expended at the eighth level of martial arts, roughly the same as what he expended at the ninth level when he mainly cultivated the mental system.
However, don't forget that Lin Yun can take on challenges that are many levels higher.
In martial arts, Lin Yun is currently only at the late stage of the eighth level, but he can already defeat ordinary peak ninth-level cultivators.
This was something he would have found difficult to achieve even when he was a master of mental cultivation and at the ninth level.
In addition, currently, mental strength can be improved by spending mental crystals, but it is limited by the strength of the body. He wants to improve his mental strength to a higher level.
He also needs to be physically strong enough so that even if he doesn't learn martial arts, he will have to learn other cultivation systems.
Otherwise, the improvement of mental strength level will also be limited.
Other expenses are still inevitable.
Conversely, once he reaches a certain level in martial arts, he can raise his spiritual power to two major realms above the martial arts realm at any time. If needed, and with enough spiritual crystals, he can quickly learn various spiritual skills, making him a spiritual cultivator.
Therefore, Lin Yun chose to abandon the cultivation of the spiritual system and focus on martial arts.
That's one point.
There is another reason.
Lin Yun vaguely felt that something was missing after the Cosmic Trading System improved his mental strength level. He would have to reach a certain level in martial arts to make up for it.
If he were to use the Cosmic Trading System to focus on the spiritual system, his strength would be lower than that of a spiritual system expert of the same level who cultivates normally. This is a consensus among many Cosmic Trading System owners.
Only through long-term accumulation, making up for what is lacking, or catching up in other realms, such as his martial arts realm, can they make up for what is lacking and thus be able to compare with the strength of a normal, equally powerful spiritual cultivator.
With both factors combined, Lin Yun naturally gave up on majoring in mental cultivation.
Now that Xia Qingqing has taken the initiative to propose cultivating the mental system, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel hesitant.
"But seeing Mengmeng's cultivation progressing so quickly, it made you like this..." Lin Yun thought for a moment, then asked.
“If you choose to major in the mental system, your strength will increase significantly in the short term, but your cultivation speed will slow down in the future. Moreover, the cultivation of this system relies heavily on comprehension…” Lin Yun paused and said.
"It's not just because of Mengmeng. I feel that I'm very interested in mental cultivation..." Xia Qingqing blushed and whispered when she saw Lin Yun mention Lin Mengmeng.
“Alright, I’ll have you quickly learn some mental cultivation techniques. If you find this system difficult to practice, just tell me immediately, and I’ll have you switch back.” Lin Yun nodded immediately.
Interest is the best teacher. If Xia Qingqing is interested in the Department of Mental Health, it is best to follow her wishes.
If Xia Qingqing really has no talent for mental magic, it's better to give up sooner rather than later.
Otherwise, the resulting mental blockage will continue to affect your current cultivation.
Most importantly, he now has a considerable number of spiritual crystals, and Xia Qingqing is his closest person, so he can let Xia Qingqing be so willful.
If Xia Qingqing truly has a talent for mental magic, then perhaps this will open another door for her.
"boom--"
Once the decision was made, Lin Yun acted quickly and didn't delay. He used the Cosmic Trading System to help Xia Qingqing learn some mental cultivation techniques and skills.
Currently, Xia Qingqing's martial arts realm is at the late stage of the Starry Sky Realm, which is the late stage of level seven. He has already raised Xia Qingqing's spiritual power to the upper level of level nine.
Now, what he is teaching Xia Qingqing is naturally a level nine mental skill.
Unlike martial arts skills, each level is further divided into different tiers.
Mental skills only have one major level; the power of other skills depends on the user's skill level and mental strength.
For several days in a row, Lin Yun helped Xia Qingqing learn various mental skills.
There are not only level nine levels, but also some lower levels.
Now that I've decided to major in the mental sciences, I can't be careless. I can't just learn mental skills haphazardly like before.
A solid foundation is essential.
After five or six days, Lin Yun finally finished all of this.
It cost a total of over 260 billion spiritual crystals.
A huge amount of consumption.
It was only because Lin Yun was willing to let Xia Qingqing learn some mental cultivation techniques and skills that such a large amount of energy was consumed in such a short time.
Mental cultivation is very energy-consuming. Lin Yun had only mentioned it briefly to everyone before, without giving specific figures.
Xia Qingqing didn't know the exact amount consumed.
If she had known, she probably wouldn't have made that choice.
Xia Qingqing had been asking this question for the past few days, but Lin Yun hadn't told her.
call--
Lin Yun teleported away, allowing Xia Qingqing to properly comprehend the skills she had learned.
In the main control room, Lin Yun stood in front of a series of screens, gazing at the starry sky ahead.
“The recent expenses have been increasing, it’s time to go out and earn some spiritual crystals…” he said softly.
Actually, he wanted to go to places where the power of heaven and earth was more concentrated to speed up his current cultivation.
"elder brother……"
A few days later, a clear voice rang out in Lin Yun's training room.
call--
At the same time, a woman appeared in the room.
It was Xia Qingqing.
"Is it stable now?" Lin Yun looked up, smiled at Xia Qingqing, and said.
"Mmm." Xia Qingqing nodded softly, her face slightly flushed, and said, "I also want my brother to try out my current strength."
“Sure, shall we go outside?” Lin Yun nodded.
"No need to go outside, we can stay right here. I'll use a mental skill, and you can just experience it, brother," Xia Qingqing said, shaking her head.
In recent years, among them, only Lin Mengmeng has the ability to barely fight Lin Yun. Coupled with Lin Mengmeng's personality, this has almost become Lin Mengmeng's specialty.
For some reason, she didn't want everyone to see, so she also started fighting Lin Yun.
She didn't want anyone to know that she had started majoring in mental science, so that Lin Yun would treat her specially.
