The crystals were a dazzling array, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
However, most of them were ordinary crystals, which he had no interest in. He scrolled the page directly to the end.
The better the item, the further back it was placed.
The last page contained only two crystals, and Lin Yu was immediately startled. He found that they were both mysterious series skills.
Bai Xiaosheng: A mysterious series skill that can summon a rooster proficient in all kinds of information from different realms. By paying a certain amount of energy crystals, you can obtain most of the information you want from others. Price: Fifty million battle merits.
Death-Exempt Talisman: A mysterious series skill that can summon a death-exempt talisman to hover above your head. While the talisman is active, you will be immune to fatal attacks. Once the death-exempt effect is triggered, the talisman will automatically shatter. The talisman can exist for one minute, with a cooldown of one day. Price: Fifty million battle merits.
"Mysterious series skills again!"
"These skills have incredibly magical effects, I must buy them!"
Lin Yu was excited and, without hesitation, bought them directly.
Glancing at his remaining battle merits, which were only a little over ten million, Lin Yu browsed through the treasure sections and bought some decent skill crystals, intending to give them to Lin Fan.
Looking at his depleted battle merits, Lin Yu smiled and walked out of the shop.
As soon as he exited, the robot was already waiting for him with the items. After collecting them, Lin Yu left with Lin Fan.
His battle merits were spent, and it was time to get down to business.
East Sea City, here I come!
"Ninth-tier combat power, wait for me!" Lin Yu shouted inwardly.
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, his wristband rang. Lin Yu opened it and saw that it was a call from his senior brother.
Clicking to answer, he immediately heard his senior brother's familiar voice.
"Lin Yu, come to Villa Number One. Master wants to see you."
The Sword God wants to see me? Lin Yu was slightly taken aback.
Although he had only joined the academy not long ago, he had only seen the Sword God a few times, but the Sword God's reputation was already like thunder in his ears.
Of course, his own reputation was not small, but compared to the Sword God, he was still far behind.
"Alright, I'll be right there!"
Hanging up the phone, Lin Yu passed through a cluster of buildings and arrived at Villa Number One, the Sword God's residence.
He pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Yang, with a joyful expression, rushed to meet him.
He scrutinized Lin Yu, looking at him from all angles as if he were studying the secrets on his body. Lin Yu felt a little uneasy and gave Lin Fan a look.
Lin Fan understood and immediately stepped forward to block, saying, "Senior Brother, it's impolite to stare at my elder brother like that."
Zhou Yang glanced at him. Upon seeing that Lin Fan had also reached eighth-tier, he felt a pang of bitterness.
These two brothers were truly monstrous. In just a few months, they had become eighth-tier Awakened.
Something others couldn't achieve in a lifetime, they accomplished in a mere few months, leaving no room for others to live.
It was impossible for him not to feel a twinge of jealousy, but thinking that as the senior brother, he was jealous of his junior brother, it would seem ungenerous, so he let it go.
"You brat, you've gone too far. Reaching eighth-tier without a word, and I, the senior brother, am only eighth-tier."
Lin Fan feigned surprise and said, "Senior Brother, you've finally reached eighth-tier? Congratulations, congratulations."
Zhou Yang looked dejected and lightly tapped Lin Fan's head, cursing with a laugh, "Are you mocking me?! If you're not a student of the Imperial Beast Academy, wait outside! Lin Yu, come with me."
With that, he pulled Lin Yu towards the house, leaving Lin Fan stomping his feet in distress.
Upon entering the house, he saw the Sword God, clad in a green robe, meditating. As soon as he entered, the Sword God's voice reached him.
"You're here, sit down!" The Sword God opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing briefly. He observed Lin Yu for a few moments before speaking calmly.
Lin Yu sat down, and Zhou Yang also sat next to Lin Yu, facing the Sword God.
At this moment, Lin Yu was apprehensive, wondering why the Sword God had summoned him.
Could it be to give him a lecture?
But he was already eighth-tier, so he shouldn't need classes anymore, right?
Besides, all the knowledge he needed to understand, he had already read in the library. He really didn't want to attend another class.
He wanted to go to East Sea City now. There were countless sea beasts there, eagerly waiting for him to slay them.
Lin Yu looked at Zhou Yang with a questioning gaze. Zhou Yang shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing.
Lin Yu was somewhat disappointed. Just then, the Sword God spoke.
"You've only been in the academy for a little over two months, but so many major events have happened in these two months. I imagine you haven't attended many classes, have you?" the Sword God sighed.
Lin Yu nodded, but then shook his head and said, "I did attend one class." He then looked at Zhou Yang.
The Sword God's aura faltered upon hearing this, and he looked towards Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang chuckled awkwardly, "Master, Junior Brother has very strong comprehension. He's almost finished reading all the books in the library. There's really nothing more for me to teach him. Look at him, he's already eighth-tier now. This shows that my not teaching him has contributed to his progress."
The Sword God stared at him. He was inwardly terrified, thinking that he must not be lazy in the future and must be diligent.
The Sword God was silent for a moment, then sighed, "My eldest disciple's talent is not weak, but unfortunately, he is inherently lazy, preferring to drink and sleep all day. He has only just reached eighth-tier now. If he had worked harder, he might have already been ninth-tier."
"However, this change for our human race may not be entirely bad. Look at this disobedient disciple; he has broken through the seventh-tier barrier and become eighth-tier. I am quite pleased with this."
"I called you here this time to ask you something."
Lin Yu sat up straight and asked, "Please, just say it."
"You are already eighth-tier. What are your plans next?"
Plans?
Lin Yu's plan was simple: just keep killing monsters. After all, with the system, he could continuously improve his cultivation by killing.
However, he couldn't say this to the Sword God. He said, "I heard that East Sea City is in distress, so I plan to go to East Sea City and repel the sea beasts there."
As his voice fell, Zhou Yang gave Lin Yu a thumbs-up, praising, "You brat, you've got guts! I'll go with you!"
The Sword God glanced at Zhou Yang and reprimanded, "With your current strength, going to East Sea City is a one-way trip!"
Even an eighth-tier would not return? Is East Sea City really that dangerous?
Lin Yu quickly asked, "Is there a large-scale beast tide in the East Sea?"
The Sword God nodded, "Yes. The various races in the sea are crossing the ocean. They want to take advantage of our misfortune and slaughter our people. Zhou Yang cannot go; you are too weak. However, if Lin Yu goes, that is acceptable!"
Zhou Yang retorted indignantly, "I'm too weak?"
The Sword God nodded calmly, "Compared to Lin Yu, you are far too weak!"
Zhou Yang looked at Lin Yu in disbelief. Is this junior brother really so strong now?
"Lin Yu, let's spar later!"
Lin Yu gave a wry smile. He didn't want to spar, but the Sword God said, "Let's have a spar. Let this kid know the gap, so he doesn't get lazy again."
"Alright!" Lin Yu nodded helplessly in agreement.
The Sword God continued, "Since you are willing to go to East Sea City, and it is indeed urgent, then after you return, I will take you to that realm."
That realm?
Both Lin Yu and Zhou Yang were puzzled.
The Sword God explained, "It is a world that I discovered by chance. I comprehended many supreme techniques there, and my strength greatly improved. I originally planned to take both of you there, but since East Sea City is in danger, we will go together after Lin Yu returns."
The two were puzzled and wanted to ask more, but the Sword God waved his sleeve, and they were uncontrollably blown out into the courtyard by a gust of wind.
"Go, East Sea City needs you!" The Sword God's voice echoed from afar.
Lin Yu composed himself, bowed respectfully, and then walked out with his senior brother.
The Martial Arts Arena.
Zhou Yang shouted, "Junior Brother, you must be careful! My attack has a third of Master's divine essence."
Lin Yu's heart tensed upon hearing this. He knew he was bragging, but he still gave him some face and said, "Come on, Senior Brother!"
Zhou Yang let out a great roar.
"Drunken Fire Divine Sword!"
Boom!
A giant sword wreathed in fire, drunkenly lunged towards Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's heart was calm as he saw this. He raised his hand and softly exclaimed, "Sword Qi!"
Hum!
A pale white sword qi met the Drunken Fire Divine Sword.
Boom!
The Drunken Fire Divine Sword instantly shattered, and Lin Yu's sword qi continued its momentum, arriving before Zhou Yang's face in an instant.
Zhou Yang looked astonished, standing on the ground in a daze.
He muttered to himself, "I lost? I lost just like that?"
