The ninety-second level of the Immortal Spirit Tower.
A wisp of sunlight shone in through the enchantment barrier from outside the tower. The sky outside was blue and picturesque, but An Lin found himself situated in a realm of extreme frost within the tower.
An Lin turned to look at the man in a grey robe standing fifty meters away. His skin was very pale, and a cold projection of the moon surfaced behind him, within which was imbued a hint of subdued killing intent.
An Lin could feel that this man’s aura had reached Return to Void Final Stage. It was quite clear that this man was a top-tier Celestial Immortal who had observed the true intent of the divine Dao.
A hint of a smile appeared on the man’s face as he nodded lightly. “Hello. I didn’t think that there would be a prodigy within the school that could reach Soul Formation Intermediate Stage. It’s no wonder that a supremely talented prodigy like you would come to the ninety-second level. My name is Fang Yi, and I cultivated in the Dao of the frosty moon.”
An Lin was a little taken aback. “You can speak?”
Fang Yi nodded. “I have already attained my own Dao, so I could fuse the true intent of my Dao into my divine intent, thereby giving me sentient consciousness. This is also the reason why I am able to pass on an inheritance to you. It’s just a pity that this is not a path to immortality, and I will fade away with time…”
“Greetings, Senior, my name is An Lin.” An Lin bowed respectfully.
A light smile appeared on Fang Yi’s face. “Alright, An Lin. Shall we begin? If you can defeat me and satisfy me in the process, I can consider passing an inheritance to you.”
An Lin nodded. As he stepped forward, the power of the body of the War God exploded forth from his body.
“Oh? That’s quite an impressive aura… and it has a sense of perfected power too…” A hint of surprise appeared on Fang Yi’s face. As he waved his arm through the air, he created a realm of moonlight of several hundred meters in radius.
The power of moonlight manifested itself as countless rays of white light that fused into the space around them, making it an omnipresent force from which there was no escape.
An Lin could feel a biting chill spreading throughout his entire body.
The power of moonlight was ethereal and profound, and An Lin found that he was unable to completely keep the power at bay.
An Lin knew that he had to act now. As Wings of Wind spread behind his back, he abruptly threw himself at Fang Yi.
However, right when An Lin sprang into action, a well-concealed yet deadly streak of white light flashed through the air before instantly striking his chest right where his heart was located!
Bam!
The streak of white light seemed to have struck something extremely robust, and it began to crumble.
Fang Yi’s expression shifted as the projection of the moon began to exude a brilliant white light. At this moment, An Lin had already appeared right before him, and he threw a monstrous fist down with his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill activated to the maximum!
Boom!
Golden ripples caused the air to warp and twist as the moonlight barrier established by Fang Yi instantly crumbled.
“Pffff…” He threw up a mouthful of blood as he stumbled back in retreat.
An Lin was quite surprised to see this. Divine-intent warriors had blood?
Fang Yi wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with astonishment etched on his face. “You’re very powerful! Never would I have thought that a supremely talented prodigy like you would appear in the Heavenly Court. I’m going to unleash my most powerful technique now!”
He made a strange seal with his hands as he spoke, and the projection of the moon behind him began to multiply into two, then into four… Soon, countless moon projections had appeared behind him.
A suffocating aura of extreme frost began to surge through the air.
Divine Dao Technique, Myriad Frosty Moon!
An Lin finally drew a sharp intake of breath, and his knees trembled upon seeing this.
He had trypophobia!
Just as the countless moon projections were about to descend upon him, a flame insignia appeared on An Lin’s forehead as wings of fire materialized beside him.
He feigned the action of drawing a bowstring with one hand while he pointed a single finger at Fang Yi with his other hand.
The Great Holy Flame, Demonic Star Flame, Setting Moon Flame, and Heavenly Void Flame began to converge to form an arrow.
This was the Crimson God Arrow that combined all four Divine Flames. It took shape as An Lin activated his Wings of True Fire cultivation method to the maximum.
Boom boom boom…
An Lin’s body was engulfed by the countless moon projections.
However, an arrow streaked through the countless frosty moon projections like a scorching shooting star before instantly puncturing Fang Yi’s heart!
When the moonlight dissipated, Fang Yi stared down with shock and incredulity at the wound on his chest.
He only came to his senses after several seconds of stunned silence. “I lost? And it was such a crushing loss too…”
He looked up at An Lin and was greeted by a sight that was even more unimaginable to him.
An Lin’s clothes were in tatters, but his body was completely unscathed even after taking his most powerful spell technique head-on!
“Gasp…” Fang Yi drew a sharp intake of breath and asked, “What the hell is your body made of?”
An Lin scratched his head as he looked at the hole in Fang Yi’s heart as well as his insubstantial body, which appeared to be blinking in and out of existence, but he didn’t answer his question. Instead, he replied with a question of his own, “So, did I win?”
Fang Yi’s face convulsed. “Of course you won! With the help of outstanding prodigies such as yourself, the Heavenly Court is surely going to be able to scale to greater heights!”
“You’re far too kind, Senior.” An expectant light appeared in An Lin’s eyes as he said, “Then… the inheritance…”
“Oh, I’m not giving it to you,” Fang Yi said while waving his hands.
An Lin was taken aback upon hearing this. “Why?”
He had clearly defeated Fang Yi, and in such emphatic fashion as well; how could there be no inheritance?!
“I told you that you had to defeat me and satisfy me in the process for me to pass my inheritance onto you…” Fang Yi pointed to the chest in his hole as he continued, “However, you ended the battle in the blink of an eye! I didn’t even get a chance to get excited before I was defeated. How could I be satisfied when you ended the battle so fast?”
An Lin’s body swayed, and he almost threw up a mouthful of blood.
His mouth gaped open, and he began to doubt his own ears.
Too fast? Not satisfied?
What kind of excuse was this? And why did it sound so suggestive?!
All the students spectating An Lin’s battle outside the Immortal Spirit Tower were also dumbstruck.
They were able to hear the conversation between An Lin and Fang Yi as well, and their views of what a top-tier Celestial Immortal should have been like was slowly beginning to crumble…
“Is this something a top-tier Celestial Immortal should say?”
“I am in shock! Our top prodigy destroyed the ninety-second level but didn’t receive an inheritance because he finished too quickly?!”
“Let’s observe a minute of silence for God An. I feel like vomiting blood myself just from hearing an excuse like this.”
“It looks like being too powerful isn’t a good thing. The Celestial Immortal isn’t willing to come to terms with his strength…”
…
Fang Yi finally felt a little better after seeing An Lin’s dejected expression.
He has such a monstrous body and fearsome spell techniques, why would he even need my inheritance?!
There was simply no point in wasting time on learning redundant spell techniques.
From their battle, Fang Yi could clearly sense that An Lin’s spell techniques were of a higher level than his own. As such, why would he bother wasting his energy to pass on his inheritance to An Lin? He might as well save it for another student later on.
However, he obviously couldn’t admit this out loud. Otherwise, his dignity as a mighty Return to Void Final Stage Celestial Immortal was going to be swept to the ground!
Fang Yi offered a smile in consolation. “Don’t be disappointed, An Lin. You’re extremely powerful, so you’ll definitely have a chance to obtain some better inheritances. I feel like you can challenge some of the higher levels, such as level ninety-five or level ninety-six…”
At this moment, Bai Zhong had already reappeared before An Lin. “Congratulations, Student An Lin. You have passed the trial on level ninety-two. Which level would you like to go next?”
After seeing An Lin’s battle, he had a better understanding of An Lin’s combat prowess. It was exactly because of this that the disdain he had for An Lin earlier had completely vanished. The confidence that he had previously perceived as cockiness appeared to be justified.
“Take me to level ninety-eight!” An Lin immediately replied without any hesitation.
He felt like he had been too careful. What was the point of choosing a level like ninety-two? He went through everything to beat up a mini BOSS who didn’t even drop any items! He should’ve just chosen the most difficult level from the start!
Bai Zhong: “… Alright!”
