Lin Yu and his group walked along the winding road towards the north of the continent. The cold wind was like a knife, cutting his face painfully. Fortunately, the polar cold-proof clothing Lin Yu had drawn worked wonders, preventing him from getting frostbite in this harsh weather.
"It's so cold today. I don't know how long it will take to get there." Xiao Yi wrapped his clothes tightly, breathing out white air and complained.
Su Yao approached Lin Yu and said softly, "Lin Yu, do you think we can find the source of that mysterious power when we reach the far north?" There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and her slender fingers unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Lin Yu reached out and patted Su Yao's shoulder gently, trying to comfort her: "Don't worry, with so many of us together, we can definitely figure it out." Although his tone was firm, he was a little unsure in his heart. No one could tell whether the unknown mysterious power was a blessing or a curse.
At this time, Xing Lan suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "Lin Yu, you haven't signed in today. Maybe you can draw something good to help us reach our destination quickly."
Lin Yu smiled helplessly: "You are the only one who is active. Okay, sign in! Let's see if the goddess of luck is on my side today." Following Xing Lan's instructions, a virtual sign-in interface appeared in front of Lin Yu. He clicked it with anticipation, the pointer spun rapidly, and finally stopped slowly.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Swift Wind Boots'. Wearing them will increase your movement speed by 30% for one hour and can be used three times a day."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "That's great, Xinglan, it seems that you have brought really good luck!"
Xing Lan raised his head proudly: "Of course, don't you see who I am!"
The group continued walking forward, and before they had gone far, a magnificent academy appeared before them. Carved on the gate of the academy were the four large characters "Lingxiao Academy," exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
"This institution looks extraordinary. Should we go in and take a look?" Lu Ming pushed his glasses, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
Lin Yu looked at the academy, his heart full of curiosity: "Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can find out some news about the Far North."
As soon as they entered the school, they were surrounded by a group of students. The leader was a tall boy. He looked Lin Yu and others up and down with a hint of disdain on his face: "Who are you? Not just anyone can come in here."
Lin Yu bowed politely and said, "We are travelers passing through here. We have heard that Lingxiao Academy is famous, so we came to visit. We hope to stay for one night and learn something about the Far North."
The boy sneered when he heard this. "Just you guys? You still want to know about the Far North? That's a dangerous place, not for outsiders like you to set foot in."
When Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately flew into a rage: "Don't underestimate me! Our Lin Yu is the one who has passed the first level of the Holy Light Tower!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding students were in an uproar. "The Tower of Holy Light? That's a place that even the top students in our school find difficult to enter. And he?"
Just as everyone was discussing, an old man walked out of the academy. The old man had white hair and a youthful face, and his eyes were full of wisdom. He looked at Lin Yu and others, smiled and said, "Since you are a distinguished guest, please come in."
Led by the old man, Lin Yu and his group arrived at the reception room of the academy. The old man introduced himself: "I am the vice president of Lingxiao Academy, Li Changfeng. I heard that you want to know about the Far North. There are indeed many unknown secrets hidden there, as well as countless powerful monsters and mysterious ruins."
Lin Yu asked quickly: "Vice President Li, could you tell me in detail? We are going to the Far North to explore the source of a mysterious power."
Li Changfeng frowned. "I've only heard vaguely of this mysterious power. It's said to be related to an ancient artifact. Once this artifact appears in the world, it will cause a huge upheaval. If you rush there rashly, I'm afraid you'll be in great danger."
Lin Yu was shocked, but his eyes remained firm: "Even so, we can't retreat. This mysterious power may be related to the powerful enemy we will face in the future. We must find out."
Li Changfeng nodded. "Your courage is commendable. In that case, I can provide you with some maps and information about the Far North. I hope it will be helpful to you."
At this moment, Xing Lan rang in Lin Yu's mind: "Triggered side quest: Help Lingxiao Academy resolve a crisis. Mission success reward: Academy's treasured advanced supernatural power training manual and 800 points. Mission failure penalty: deduction of 500 points, and in the next three days, the daily sign-in reward will be halved."
Lin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart and responded to Xing Lan: "You really know how to pick the time. Here comes another task."
Xing Lan said mischievously, "This is a good opportunity to improve your strength. Besides, there is also the training manual of the academy. Maybe it will make you more confident in the Far North."
Lin Yu had no choice but to say to Li Changfeng: "Vice President Li, we are disturbing your school and want to do something for it. I heard that the school seems to be in crisis. I wonder if we can help?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Changfeng's eyes, and then he sighed: "To be honest, there has been a problem with the source of spiritual power in the academy recently, which has affected the students' cultivation. We have tried many methods, but have been unable to resolve it."
Lin Yu looked at his companions. Su Yao nodded slightly with trust in her eyes. Xiao Yi was ready to try. Lu Ming pushed his glasses and fell into thought.
"We are willing to give it a try." Lin Yu said firmly.
Led by Li Changfeng, they arrived at the source of the academy's spiritual power. Rich spiritual power filled the air, but there was also a faint sense of disorder.
Lin Yu closed his eyes, feeling the flow of spiritual power, trying to find out the problem. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a dark force interfering at the core of the source of spiritual power.
"I found the problem. It's a dark force at work." Lin Yu opened his eyes and said to everyone.
When Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately shouted, "What are we waiting for? Let's drive this dark force out!"
However, when they tried to approach the source of spiritual power, dark power suddenly erupted, forming a black barrier that kept them out.
"This dark power is stronger than we imagined." Lu Ming said with a frown.
Lin Yu called out to Xinglan in his heart: "Xinglan, do you have any ideas?"
Xing Lan responded: "You can use the intermediate power strengthening stone you obtained earlier, combined with your own power, to try to break this barrier."
Lin Yu did as he was told. He took out the intermediate supernatural power strengthening stone, injected his own supernatural power into it, and then suddenly blasted towards the black barrier.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the black barrier shook violently, and a crack appeared...
