Chapter 186 (1/2)
Eye of the Windstorm!
This name lingered in Lin’s mind as he found his way out of the inner sanctum.
This was Shu Sanqi’s final answer after a careful investigation of more than an hour.
Lin still remembered the undisguised perplexity in Shu’s eyes when he said the name just now. Apparently, Shu Sanqi was not sure of it, either.
In fact, Lin had already had his own answer in his mind. He was certain that though the Pond of Spiritual Power he generated was similar to the legendary first-class Pond of Spiritual Power, Eye of the Windstorm, there were some fundamental differences!
It was because when he ran Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture in cultivation, not only his Pond of Spiritual Power but also the brand-new spiritual vortex covering the four acupoints of his cardiac vessel would produce a kind of horrible whirling force.
The two completely different vortexes, with one above the other and one whirling clockwise while the other whirling anticlockwise, created a unique and wonderful change.
Spiritual Gang Power all around his body would be refined again and again between the two vortexes like two millstones, one above another, were crushing grains. The refining power just couldn’t be more appalling!
And this not only allowed Lin to absorb greater power but also helped refine the purest quality of Gang Qi in cultivation!
This was the biggest change that reaching Human-gang Realm and generating the Pond of Spiritual Power had brought to him!
But Lin didn’t mention this when Shu Sanqi investigated Lin’s Ocean of Qi just now, because it was related to the secret of the spiritual vein taken away from him, which couldn’t be known by others.
It was at dusk, with a spectacular sunset.
After getting out of the sanctum, Lin went straight to Camp 39.
Lin had just reached Human-gang Realm and the strength all over his body had undergone an earthshaking transformation. He must try to adapt to the brand-new power as soon as possible.
The Human-gang Realm was the first level of Gang Spirit Realm. Reaching this level meant the true beginning of the road of being a real practitioner and he had become totally different from practitioners of the Martial Realm.
If the brand-new realm and power were not familiarized and controlled at early time, the future cultivation would be affected.
…
After Lin left, Shu Sanqi sat alone in the sanctum for a long time.
At last, he took out a jade scroll made from special spiritual materials and turned directly to the last blank page.
Chi!
He used his fingertip like a sharp knife to carve a line on it, “Lin Xun, 14 years old, owns first-class Pond of Spiritual Power, Eye of the Windstorm.”
After writing it, Shu Sanqi frowned, looking a little bit dissatisfied, and couldn’t help heaving a light sigh. He inexplicably remembered the scene when he investigated Lin’s Ocean of Qi just now.
At that time, he carefully explored with perception power, only to find a unique windstorm vortex-like Pond of Spiritual Power in Lin’s Ocean of Qi.
But as he intended to go deeper in the Pond of Spiritual Power, an indescribable throb struck him, as if in the depths of that Pond of Spiritual Power was a kind of mysterious power which was strong enough to even make him dread.
This surprised Shu Sanqi. After thinking over and over again, he gave up the intention of further investigation.
He was clear that this was Lin’s own secret. Even if it might have a connection with the upheaval of the Gang-producing Lake, there was no need to continue to investigate.
The upheaval had happened and could not be retrieved. Even if he proved that Lin was related to it, what could be done?
Lin knew that his Pond of Spiritual Power was not Eye of the Windstorm. So how could Shu Sanqi not know it?
But…
Shu Sanqi did not intend to leak it out. There were already too many special things about Lin Xun. His achievement on spiritual tattoos would solely shock the world. If people got to know that Lin had an enigmatic Pond of Spiritual Power when breaking through the Martial Realm, it would be a disaster for Lin.
Shu Sanqi was very clear that once this was noticed by those big shots of the empire, Lin’s future would probably be not under his own control.
What gave Shu a headache was that even if Lin’s Pond of Spiritual Power was recorded as Eye of the Windstorm, it would still attract many eyes.
It was because Eye of the Windstorm was also a first-class Pond of Spiritual Power; it was quite rare and hadn’t showed up for hundreds of years.
“This brat is really a freak. Other people would damn like to own a top advantage in order to stand out. Well, look at him. He’s full of top advantages but needs me to do everything to help keep them from others. Who has ever seen such a man?”
In the end, Shu Sanqi had a bitter smile, shaking his head, and refused to think any more. After putting away the jade scroll, he got up and left the sanctum.
The jade scroll was very important. On it were recorded the last thirty trainees’ final grades of the assessment. It wouldn’t take long before it appeared in the hands of those real top big shots of the Forbidden City.
No matter how reluctant he was, Shu Sanqi must handle things fairly as it was the irresistible will of the empire and the Bloodthirsty Camp!
As for the evaluation of Lin, Shu Sanqi described concisely. There was nothing more than the four words – “Eye of the Windstorm”.
Shu Sanqi only hoped Lin could understand him when Lin truly grew up. By doing so, Shu just wanted to cultivate real talents for the empire!
Outside Camp 39.
When Lin returned, he was surprised to find that a graceful figure had already been waiting there.
Bai Lingshi!
This beautiful girl, with an ethereal air, was only at the age of thirteen or fourteen. But she already showed elegance and talent which topped the whole empire.
Such a person was destined to be a pillar of the empire in the future and would be dazzling as sunlight, attracting countless eyes.
Although she was now only a trainee of the Bloodthirsty Camp, her wisdom, beauty, strength and gift had made her exceed other trainees long ago and had made them completely convinced.
