Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Star Illusion Bottle
Farewell, Vice Dean. Xiao Yi followed his original plan and went to the seclusion room.
Inside the seclusion room.
Xiao Yi recalled the words of the Vice Dean and merely smiled faintly.
In truth, regardless of whether the Vice Dean wanted to leave the guiding opportunity to Qing Lin, Xiao Yi would not be willing.
Even if other academic elders were to guide him, it would be the same.
The second awakening of a martial artist’s Martial Soul is of utmost importance on the Martial Arts Dao.
Similarly, the Martial Arts Saint Pill condensed by martial arts elders is also incredibly precious.
Such a precious opportunity, how could it be easily given to a martial arts expert?
Even if it were given, it would not be given to a heavenly talent unrelated to oneself.
Unless, that heavenly talent is one’s disciple.
Yes, disciple.
A disciple and an academic disciple are different identities.
Just like a master and an academic teacher are different identities.
Still the same statement, in Xiao Yi’s eyes, he already has a master.
Moreover, even without the master and disciple relationship, the Martial Arts Saint Pill is still too precious.
Xiao Yi is unwilling to owe any favors for it.
He doesn’t want to owe anything.
Sometimes, the word ’owe’ can also be heavy.
"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled faintly, calming his mind.
As for the well-intentioned offer from the Vice Dean, he could only appreciate it.
Regarding the awakening of the Martial Soul, he has his own plans.
Moreover, his Fire Control Beast Martial Soul is no longer blue, but has already stepped into purple.
Whether the Vice Dean can fully guide him, or how successful the awakening might be, is uncertain.
Xiao Yi shook his head and took out the Universe Ring.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will organize his harvest over these days and then sit in meditation for the night, heading out for trials tomorrow.
Speaking of the harvest, the gains while breaking through the Cloud Ascending Path are what Xiao Yi considered the greatest harvest.
Not the rewards of vast power, which for a normal martial artist, are ample to break through several levels of cultivation.
But for him, Xiao Yi, it cannot even break through one level of cultivation.
The true harvest is the insights gained during those four months.
One sword strike, with the power equivalent to ten sword strikes together.
And the final moment of striking the Dawn Bell, one palm strike released 144 waves of surging force, like a mountain-crushing torrent.
If fully merged with his Sword Dao, his sword dao strength would definitely rise to another level.
Apart from this, the next greatest harvest is naturally the Universe Ring in his hand.
Inside it are numerous cultivation items gifted by Senior Luoo.
However, Xiao Yi is not in a hurry to absorb them.
Tomorrow, he will go out for trials, and during the trials, he will find a chance to absorb, making a breakthrough in cultivation in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Xiao Yi’s gaze fell on the two Martial Technique books inside the Universe Ring.
Regarding Senior Luoo’s strength, Xiao Yi still couldn’t fathom it.
In his perception, Senior Luoo’s aura felt like an endless abyss, unfathomable; and also like the vast starry sky, boundlessly vast.
A martial technique gifted by such a level of strong practitioner is not ordinary at all.
Xiao Yi took out one of them, opened it, and started reading.
Almost the moment he opened it, he was captivated by the content in the book.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yi showed a surprised expression, and as time passed, the surprise grew more intense.
An hour later, Xiao Yi closed the book, his face showing a look of shock.
"Sacred Erasure Palm, one of the strongest martial techniques of Black Cloud Academy."
Based on the martial technique knowledge he had just seen, the profoundness was such that he couldn’t fully comprehend it in a short time; he merely had a slight insight into it.
Although this is a hand technique, in Xiao Yi’s judgment, this martial technique is far more powerful than the Blood Realm Four Forms.
Of course, the fourth form of the Blood Realm Four Forms, Xiao Yi has not yet displayed or comprehended.
The real gap remains unknown.
However, he had seen the name of Sacred Erasure Palm in the records of the Academic Collection Pavilion, which is one of the strongest martial techniques of Black Cloud Academy.
To be called the strongest, how could it be taken lightly?
Xiao Yi smiled and put away the book.
If he fully masters the Sacred Erasure Palm in the future, it would surely be another powerful means of his own.
Xiao Yi took out the second book.
But after just glancing through it, he closed it.
Originally, he thought the second book was also a martial technique, but it turned out to be a cultivation technique.
This cultivation technique is also an extremely powerful one within the academy.
However, Xiao Yi wasn’t very interested, so he put it away casually.
"Hoo." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly.
Next, he planned to sit in meditation for the night.
Tomorrow, he would set out for trials.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xiao Yi made a light sound and remembered something.
With a flash of light in his hand, a Universe Ring appeared out of thin air in his palm.
This is his Universe Ring.
"Release." Xiao Yi called out in a low voice, and a beam of light drifted out from the Universe Ring.
When the light dissipated, a crystal bottle emitting a misty glow appeared before his eyes.
This was the first-place reward obtained after the four-sided grand competition.
The three treasures were: one defensive mid-grade holy artifact, the Cloud Birth Armor; the second was Skyfire Profound Essence; and finally, this crystal bottle.
Last time, due to time constraints, he hadn’t had a chance to look closely at it.
Now, he suddenly remembered it.
The entire crystal bottle shone with a misty glow, looking extremely beautiful.
However, the aura emanating from the crystal bottle was quite plain, as if it were an ordinary item.
It seemed like this was just a beautiful yet useless object.
However, this was one of the three treasures from the four-sided grand competition, a thing brought forth by the Qin Family comparable to the treasures of the Fang and Guo families; how could it be an ordinary item?
Xiao Yi frowned and examined the crystal bottle before him.
The next second, Xiao Yi slowly reached out his hand and opened the bottle cap.
Almost at the moment the cap was opened, swoosh...
Starlight shot out in streams.
With the mouth of the crystal bottle as the source, a river of starlight was pouring out.
In just a moment, the vast seclusion room was filled with swirling starlight.
The brilliant starlight was dazzlingly bright.
Upon closer inspection, it looked just like a sky full of billions of stars were all in view.
"Star Illusion Bottle?" Xiao Yi chuckled softly.
He didn’t know what this crystal bottle was called, but with the starlight pouring out, he temporarily named it the Star Illusion Bottle.
Xiao Yi slightly closed his eyes and began to perceive it.
A minute later, Xiao Yi opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam shot out.
"Congeal." Xiao Yi called out in a low voice, his hand making a grasping motion.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
In an instant, countless starlights descended from the sky.
When the starlight had fully descended, a total of 8,000 starlights were moving with Xiao Yi’s mind.
"A minute’s time, comprehending a thousand starlights? Hiss." Xiao Yi gasped.
He had to know; originally, the starlights he controlled were only 7,000 in total.
"With this Star Illusion Bottle, surpassing ten thousand starlights is just a matter of time." Xiao Yi’s face showed joy.
The next second, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Star Illusion Gloves appeared out of nowhere.
"Perhaps..." Xiao Yi looked at the Star Illusion Gloves, his face full of anticipation.
...
The next day, at dawn.
Xiao Yi walked out of the seclusion room, and shortly after, Qing Lin arrived as expected.
This time, before Xiao Yi could speak,
Qing Lin already said, "The tasks have been taken in sufficient quantity, and the difficulty is also extremely high, we can set off."
Xiao Yi shook his head, "This time I can’t accompany you for this trial."
"Ah?" Qing Lin was taken aback.
Xiao Yi smiled, "I plan to go out on my own."
"You’re going for the trial on your own?" Qing Lin showed a look of disappointment.
"No, I’m going into seclusion." Xiao Yi smiled.
The next second, his figure flickered, and he flew away controlling the air.
"What’s the rush? You have three months until the grand event takes place, you must come back in time." Qing Lin called out loudly.
"Don’t worry, within three months, I will certainly return." A message came back from afar.
Soon after, Xiao Yi’s figure had already left Black Cloud Academy, gradually disappearing into the distance.
...
Third update.
