Outside the Hanling Spring, people were moving around and the place was bustling.

Everyone was eagerly waiting to see whether Lin Hao would set a new record and break Bai Yuzhe's ten hours.

At this time, in the area within the Hanling Spring, Lin Hao was soaking in the cold spring, controlling the devouring black hole and continuously absorbing energy.

If people outside could see that kind of noise, they would be shocked.

After all, soaking the body and tempering it while enduring the stinging pain brought by the cold air is an extremely torturous and painful process.

If it were inhaled into the body, the severity would certainly be even more terrifying.

However, Lin Hao relied on his Star Devouring Technique and was not affected at all during the entire process.

This is the domineering aspect of the dark devouring martial arts.

Everything in the world can be swallowed!

Of course, although with the assistance of the devouring martial arts, this does not mean that Lin Hao can absorb energy endlessly.

Because swallowing black holes provides him with energy conversion, and all the energy obtained from swallowing must be borne by himself. If he absorbs too much, his body will not be able to accommodate it.

The final result will be energy backlash, which is extremely dangerous.

In this situation, to put it simply, the swallowing black hole is like a water pump, and Lin Hao's body is a water tank.

The energy in the Hanling Spring is extremely powerful, but Lin Hao's "water tank" will always be filled up.

Once it is full, if you continue to force more, the cylinder will eventually explode and be destroyed, and all your efforts will be in vain.

Knowing this, Lin Hao's absorption speed this time was not as greedy and crazy as before.

Instead, it slowed down its speed, gradually digesting the energy while mobilizing excess energy to temper the body, killing two birds with one stone.

Under the balanced absorption of this rhythm, Lin Hao's breath gradually rose.

Moreover, at this moment, even if he had removed his dragon form, he could still withstand the icy power around him.

But the blue veins on the surface of his skin were slowly wriggling, and every tremor seemed to contain an extremely powerful feeling!

Time passes by every second.

Another five hours passed like this.

Including the previous five hours, Lin Hao has now been strong in the Hanling Spring for a full ten hours!

"Ten hours!"

"This amount of time is already the same as Bai Yuzhe's!"

"Yeah, and there's no sign of it coming out yet. Could it be that it's going to break the record again?!"

Outside, the crowd suddenly erupted in surprise.

While they were surprised that Lin Hao could hold on in the Hanling Spring until now, many of them also cast their eyes on Bai Yuzhe who was present.

However, the latter had a calm expression on his face, but his slightly gloomy eyes vaguely showed a hint of fighting spirit.

"His endurance is pretty good, comparable to mine, but I don't know how good his actual combat ability is."

Bai Yuzhe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if because Yan Xinyue was beside him, he said this deliberately to elevate himself.

However, his words were very harsh to the ears of Qin Yu, Lei Meng and Gu Yunle.

"Since you want to compete, why don't you compete with our boss and you will know."

Gu Yunle spoke bluntly without any hesitation.

There was a blade of grass in the corner of his mouth, which gave him a kind of unruly and uninhibited feeling.

"Your boss?"

Hearing this, Bai Yuzhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yunle in confusion.

"Our boss is Lin Hao."

Qin Yu also stood up and directly exposed his relationship with Lin Hao.

"However, if you want to compete with our boss, you have to get past the three of us first."

Raymond stood by and smiled innocently.

But his words were filled with undisguised provocation, and he seemed to dislike Bai Yuzhe.

They knew in their hearts that Bai Yuzhe came here to observe Lin Hao today with a purpose, which was to compete with Lin Hao.

However, as sworn brothers, how could Qin Yu and the other two just sit there and do nothing? They all wanted to help their boss deal with the trouble.

That look seemed to be saying, you are not worthy enough to compete with our boss!

"Compared with you?"

Hearing this, Bai Yuzhe's lips curled up with a playful smile.

The look he gave Qin Yu and the other three was clearly filled with disdain.

Two years ago, he relied on his level 5 warrior's cultivation to defeat the grade champion who was a level 6 warrior.

Now, his cultivation has increased and he has reached the level of a sixth-level warrior.

He has absolute confidence that no warrior of the same level can match him.

And now, Qin Yu, Lei Meng and Gu Yunle, the three freshmen.

One is a fifth-level mage, and the other two are fifth-level warriors.

Among the first-year students, he is considered an outstanding leader.

But in Bai Yuzhe's eyes, it is still not good enough.

Therefore, at this moment, when he heard the provocative words of Qin Yu and the others, he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, and a hint of sarcasm welled up in his eyes.

"Are those three guys stupid? They actually dared to provoke Dean Bai Yuxue."

"Tsk tsk, being overconfident is like overestimating one's own abilities."

"Yeah, even if the three of them joined forces, I'm afraid they would all be beaten by President Bai Yuxue."

Seeing the situation here, a burst of mocking discussion suddenly broke out in the crowd.

Everyone knows that Bai Yuzhe is recognized as the number one genius in Tianyan Academy.

However, Gu Yunle, Lei Meng, Qin Yu and the other three are just freshmen with excellent cultivation talents.

With this kind of qualifications, is he qualified to compete with Bai Yuzhe?

It's so funny!

"Interesting. I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time. Since you are interested, I will accompany you with reluctance."

Listening to the flattery from the many students around him, Bai Yuzhe's pride grew even more.

As the voice fell, a hint of fighting spirit suddenly ignited in his eyes, and he looked at Qin Yu and the other three with a playful look.

"Just what I want."

Gu Yunle chuckled, looked at Lei Meng and Qin Yu beside him, and said, "There is an order of seniority, why don't I go first?"

"Old Four, since you know that there is a hierarchy of seniority, it must be me, the second oldest brother, who should take action first."

Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, wanting to grab this spot.

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors?"

Raymond grinned, also not giving up.

this……

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.

They originally thought that Raymond and the other two would panic and shrink back when they heard that Bai Yuzhe wanted to compete.

Unexpectedly, the performance of these three guys was completely beyond the expectations of all of them.

In such a situation, he was actually vying to compete with Bai Yuzhe and didn't take the other party seriously at all.

This is simply too arrogant and too presumptuous!

"Come on, start."

"Don't cheat, best of three!"

What’s even more exaggerated is that these three people actually started playing finger-guessing games, vying for a spot in the competition.

Seeing this, Bai Yuzhe's face suddenly became extremely gloomy at this moment.

He felt that his dignity had been seriously challenged!

Beside them, Yan Xinyue couldn't help but have a strange look on her pretty face when she saw Qin Yu and the others like this.

But as someone who grew up in the palace, she knew very well that women should not interfere in matters between men.

Therefore, Yan Xinyue did not intervene in the whole process and just stood aside silently.

Besides, she was very clear about her cousin Qin Yu's strength. Although this guy usually seemed lazy, he actually had unimaginable real strength.

As for the other two, Raymond and Gu Yunle, she didn't know much about them.

But to be able to fight like this, he probably has some hidden cards.

At least in their eyes, Bai Yuzhe might really be nothing.

These four brothers are all freaks.

Yan Xinyue was quite surprised when this thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

"As a human being, it's better to know yourself. No need to fight, all three of you come at me together."

Bai Yuzhe stared at Qin Yu and the other three with a cold look in his eyes, and said in a cold and arrogant manner: "That's perfect, let's solve it all at once."

boom--!

As he spoke, an extremely powerful spiritual energy wave suddenly burst out from his body, and the energy generated in his body made a whirring sound.

Such fierce momentum has a very deterrent effect.

"Look, Master Bai Yu is serious!"

"Tsk tsk, they're dead now!"

"They actually dared to anger Senior Bai. They really will suffer the consequences."

Seeing Bai Yuzhe releasing a powerful aura, the crowd present immediately burst into exclamations of surprise and praise.

"He wants to compete with the three of us? What do you think?"

Gu Yunle was delighted when he heard it.

"Since he insists on doing this, it will also help to avoid any damage to the relationship between the three of us."

Qin Yu, who had just lost the scissors game, naturally agreed immediately.

Raymond, the winner, had no choice but to nod his head as a sign of acceptance.

Immediately, the three of them stood side by side.

When they get serious, their eyes change subtly in an instant, and their aura becomes restrained and steady.

"I hope that after a while, you can still be as eloquent as you are now!"

Bai Yuzhe snorted coldly.

Bang!

The next moment, he took a step forward, and his agile figure rushed straight towards Qin Yu and the others like a tiger emerging from the mountains.

At the same time, powerful spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly erupted between his palms.

And at the moment Bai Yuzhe took action, Raymond, Gu Yunle, Qin Yu and the other three also launched attacks at the same time almost in an instant.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

For a while, the sounds of fierce fighting rang out one after another in the area outside the Hanling Spring.

And this time.

Lin Hao in the Hanling Spring was still immersed in it, unmoved.

Fortunately, there is a light curtain covering this place, so the sound of fighting outside will not be heard here.

Otherwise, with such interference, Lin Hao might not be able to practice so peacefully.

"boom!"

As the devouring black hole absorbed more and more energy and poured it into its body, at a certain moment, Lin Hao's body shook violently.

The barrier film on the surface of the fifth spiritual vein around the Dantian acupoint was broken through almost instantly.

Instantly, streams of pure spiritual energy surged in, as if opening up a new world.

Lin Hao's aura also soared wildly in an instant!

“Breakthrough!”

There was a gleam of light in Lin Hao's eyes, and he laughed loudly towards the sky.

Although he has the assistance of the ultimate cultivation talent, his cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary warriors.

But if you want to impact the fifth spiritual vein, it will take at least several months, or even half a year.

But now, with the help of the energy in the Cold Spirit Spring and the martial arts technique of Devouring the Stars, it only took Lin Hao ten hours to be promoted to the level of a fifth-level warrior with unstoppable force!

This is the result of resources.

Many poor warriors, even if they have decent talent in martial arts, will not be able to achieve much in martial arts without the assistance of various resources.

"Level 5 is still too weak."

Lin Hao clenched his fists, feeling the increasingly powerful force in his body, but his heart was not greatly disturbed.

Although the feeling of increased strength is wonderful, Lin Hao knows that his current cultivation level is still far from enough.

Because, compared to the Dark Eagle, the leader of the Underworld who forced him to take poison, and the sissy man in black in the bamboo forest a while ago.

Without the help of the system pet, no matter which one of them, Lin Hao would not be a match for any of them if fighting alone.

Moreover, Lin Hao realized that he seemed to have been involved in the imperial power struggle of the Great Yan Dynasty without realizing it.

If you don't want to become cannon fodder, you have to strengthen your own strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the system suddenly disappears one day, the situation he will face will undoubtedly be even more dangerous!

This sense of self-protection constantly drives Lin Hao's radical desire to become stronger.

Crash~!

Then, Lin Hao jumped out of the water, his body like a flying swallow, lightly tapping the water surface with his toes, and flew directly to the shore.

After quickly putting on the gravity armor and clothes, Lin Hao turned and walked out of the light curtain.

Sibao flapped his wings and flew to Lin Hao's shoulder and stood still.

The moment he stepped out of the light curtain, Lin Hao was suddenly shocked by the bustling crowd in front of him and the noisy screams.

“So many people?!”

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao was slightly surprised and couldn't help feeling a little unbelievable.

"ah--!"

Just as Lin Hao was feeling surprised, a scream suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a white figure falling towards him in a panic.

Bang!

The white shadow hit the light curtain, and suddenly a heavy sound was heard.

With the help of Sibao's vision, Lin Hao took a closer look.

The white shadow was discovered to be a young man in white.

But at this moment, this guy looked extremely miserable.

His originally handsome face was now swollen and purple in many places, and several of his front teeth were knocked out.

The blood and saliva at the corners of his mouth mixed together, staining his white clothes red.

"Who is this? How could he be beaten so badly?"

Seeing this, Lin Hao couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

He didn't know this person.

However, everyone present recognized him.

This person is Bai Yuzhe!

"Senior Bai lost!"

"This... How is this possible? The three of them actually beat Senior Bai!!"

When they saw Bai Yuzhe was defeated, everyone was shocked.

The development of the war situation was completely beyond their imagination.

"Look, Lin Hao is coming out."

At this time, everyone also noticed Lin Hao walking out of the light curtain.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on him.

"You...are Lin Hao?"

Bai Yuzhe fell to the ground, looked up at Lin Hao, and spoke with difficulty.

"Um, what's up?"

Lin Hao nodded, somewhat confused by the question from the man in white.

If the other party asked for help, Lin Hao had even thought about refusing.

"I will never compete with you again..."

After saying this, Bai Yuzhe finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
