Shi An didn't dare to cause trouble, for if he angered Zi Ling, that brute, they'd find it difficult to get out unharmed, let alone save anyone.
Though everyone he brought this time was quite powerful, Zi Ling's strength was even greater.
Moreover, Lin Chen was present as well. This cunning guy had shown his tricks in front of everyone at the Law Enforcement Hall.
With these two together, it was even harder for them to handle.
A brute and a mastermind combined would be more challenging than when they are dealt with separately.
Therefore, Shi An and the others could only look to trouble Lin Chen when the two were apart.
The Heaven Hall had always been the wealthiest, but after being tormented by Lin Chen a few times, they were greatly weakened.
Every time Lin Chen played tricks on them, they would lose a huge number of spirit stones.
It's worth noting that a regular martial artist wouldn't have so many spirit stones to squander.
The Heaven Hall held a grudge against what the Yellow Hall did, and they couldn't swallow their pride without seeking revenge.
Thus, the members of the Heaven Hall thought of imitating the Yellow Hall by capturing a few people from the Yellow Hall and demanding a ransom.
However, lately, the people of the Yellow Hall, knowing the Heaven Hall would retaliate, rarely went out.
And even when they did, they were with Zi Ling.
The only one acting alone was Wan Qiansan.
Dealing with Wan Qiansan, it would be fine to beat him up like last time, but doing anything too excessive would completely offend Wan Qiansan and also the Wan Family.
Offending the Wan Family is equivalent to offending the Earth Hall.
After all, the Wan and Zhang Families are the external support for the Earth Hall at the Yunlong Heavenly Palace and hold significant influence in the Outer Sect.
Getting into conflict with the Earth Hall brings no benefits to the Heaven Hall.
Therefore, after some deliberation, the members of the Heaven Hall decided not to act against Wan Qiansan.
After Zi Ling received the ransom from the Heaven Hall disciples, she used half of it for the Yellow Hall's communal expenses and distributed the other half evenly among all the Yellow Hall members.
Of course, she and Lin Chen got a bit more because it was their efforts that obtained the money.
No one in the Yellow Hall had any objections to this.
After all, getting a share of this "loot" was an unexpected surprise for them.
After distributing the loot, Lin Chen returned to his room.
After securing his doors and windows, and setting up restrictions, Lin Chen began to cultivate.
After the battles of the past two days, Lin Chen had roughly gauged his own strength.
If not for Lin Chen tempering his physique in that strange world accessed via the Teleportation Array, his cultivation might have broken through long ago.
The aura of that strange world surprisingly compressed Lin Chen's cultivation realm repeatedly, delaying his breakthrough.
Lin Chen's spiritual power was already sufficient to support a breakthrough whenever he desired.
Thus, Lin Chen now intended to break through his cultivation.
After all, his physique had reached its peak at the fifth level of the Nirvana realm.
A night passed without incident, and in the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron where Lin Chen was, five days flew by.
In the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, a tremendous roar was heard, and an overwhelmingly powerful aura erupted from Lin Chen, soaring into the sky, as the frenzied energy swept around him.
Opening his eyes, Lin Chen's pupils burst forth with golden light.
"Breaking through to the sixth level of the Nirvana realm, huh."
Lin Chen slowly stood up, clenched his fists, and felt the overwhelmingly powerful energy within him. He realized that his strength had increased tenfold compared to before.
If he were to compete against Liu Yong now, Lin Chen could overwhelm him with his physique alone, without using any spiritual power.
Knock knock knock—
"Lin Chen, are you still sleeping? Get up already."
As Lin Chen emerged from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, sensing the transformation his physique brought, a knocking sound came from his door.
Upon opening the door, Lin Chen found Yang Minghui and Yu Weilian standing outside.
Gazing at Yang Minghui, Lin Chen frowned slightly. Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Yang Minghui seemed to be clinging to him more often, frequently seeking him out even without good reason.
"It's barely dawn, and you're already up. Since when have you been so industrious?" Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui, asking calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Minghui gazed at Lin Chen with great puzzlement.
"Lin Chen, didn't you also enroll in the Spirit Formation Hall's courses yesterday? Aren't you going to attend classes? If you fail the assessment by the year's end, you'll have to pay ten times the registration fee." Yang Minghui reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen remembered that he had indeed enrolled in the Spirit Formation Hall's courses.
"I nearly forgot about that," Lin Chen said casually.
Having cultivated in the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for five days, only a single night had passed outside, so it genuinely slipped his mind.
"Forgetting about the course you enrolled in yourself. Did you secretly hide a beautiful woman in your room without telling us?" Yang Minghui joked, looking at Lin Chen with mild annoyance.
Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui several more times at these words. If such words came from Yu Weilian, he could understand. But did this girl, Yang Minghui, lose her mind to say such things?
"Why are you staring at me, haven't you seen a beauty before?" Yang Minghui felt a flutter in her heart as Lin Chen kept his eyes on her. Her heart raced erratically, and she immediately spoke.
"Young Master Yang, what nonsense are you saying?" Lin Chen exclaimed at Yang Minghui.
He then leaned in closer to Yang Minghui and whispered by her ear.
"Silly girl, aren't you afraid your hidden identity will be exposed with the way you talk?" Lin Chen warned her.
Hearing this, Yang Minghui anxiously glanced around, relieved to find that no one else had overheard her words.
"Lin Chen, why are you whispering like that?" Yang Minghui said, looking at Lin Chen with a blush.
