Since they still had enough free ti before the fourth round started, Ling Yun decided to head to another area to cultivate manually, and his won also went with him, including Situ Luan.
Although Situ Luan had not beco a part of them, Ling Yun decided to give her the basic pills. Besides, he also gave her a Lower Grade Yin Pill, for it wouldn't matter if she swallowed it herself with her current cultivation.
Situ Luan was dumbfounded after she received all the pills. Even though she had also ingested basic pills before, the quality of Ling Yun's basic pills was far higher than anything she had consud. "Thank you."
"En." Ling Yun only nodded to her, he was in a dilemma to impart the technique to Situ Luan, but he finally decided to impart the Wind Kunpeng Body Technique to her, shocking her even more.
"Ling Yun, this-"
"It's fine." Ling Yun directly interrupted Situ Luan. "Although our relationship is still flat, I have already decided to accept you into our group, so you don't have to think about it. However, I hope you don't share that technique with anyone, including your parents."
"Uh, I know." Situ Luan answered as she nodded, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
After that, Ling Yun sat on a boulder, closed his eyes, and started cultivating.
Seeing Ling Yun so quickly imrsed in his cultivation, Situ Luan asked Ling Ling. "Is he always that serious when cultivating?"
"Yes." Ling Ling nodded to her. "Compared to us, Yun'er hasn't cultivated for long, but his seriousness is far more than ours, and you will definitely see him like that ti and ti again."
"I see." Situ Luan's gaze could never leave Ling Yun's figure. 'Sigh, I should cultivate more diligently, or he'll never spare a glance.'
After that, Situ Luan imdiately sat cross-legged and swallowed the pills, and she also focused on learning the technique that Ling Yun had just given her.
Ling Ling and the other won were the sa; they imdiately sat cross-legged and started cultivating, ignoring people's stares at them.
anwhile, Ling Xi was hovering above them to protect them, especially after she sensed the killing intent directed towards Ling Yun and the others, and she simply shook her head as she glanced atthe owner of the killing intent. "You don't need to be so impatient because you will definitely et him in the next round, and you will understand how ferocious a dragon is if you touch its reverse scales."

anwhile, Zhao Yao is stunned to see Xiao Yin using an android body to move around. "How did Tang Xiao create all of this? If those scientists on Earth saw you, they would be shocked."
[Hehe.] Xiao Yin laughed at her question. [Apart from the Primordial Divine Ark, the future father also passed on many modern technologies to my father, which ca from hundreds of years in the future. Moreover, he had also learned many new things from a highly advanced planet, and the technology on Earth couldn't be compared to that planet.]
"So you're saying that the planet is also inhabited by many androids?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, but she also felt curious about that planet.
[Yes!] Xiao Yin nodded to her. [My android body was created by a researcher from that planet, and my father implanted my main chip into this body, so I can move around freely. This universe also has such a planet, but it is located in the Upper Realm, so we can't go there anyti soon, especially since my Master is still weak.]
"I know." Zhao Yao nodded in understanding. "Anyway, do you know anything about Mana?"
[Mana, huh?] Xiao Yin then searched for information about it before she answered her question. [Mana actually doesn't differ much from Qi, but not everyone can absorb both of them because their power source is different. If cultivators rely on dantian to absorb Qi, then Mana users rely on Mana Crystals as their source of strength.]
"What are Mana Crystals?" Zhao Yao asked in confusion, for she never knew about it.
[Mana Crystals are more similar to Qi Cores, but a cultivator can only form their Qi Cores after their cultivation reaches the Core Realm.] Zhao Yao nodded in understanding, and Xiao Yin continued. [As for Mana Crystals, they usually start forming as the fetus grows and condense into perfect crystals when humans reach a certain age.]
"Hmm?" Zhao Yao raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. "Does that an Sister Mingxia also has a Mana Crystal in her body? After all, she's the only one among us who can use Qi and Mana simultaneously."
[Yes.] Xiao Yin imdiately told Zhao Yao. [I have scanned all of your bodies, and only my Master's Mother has a Mana Crystal in her body. That's why Tang Wu taught her to absorb Mana, which made her Light Elent even more potent.]
"I see." Zhao Yao then asked her again. "Can you make artificial Mana Crystals? I heard from Sister Mingxia that Tang Wu said we could use Mana too, but we must find sothing first. If I think about it now, the thing she was referring to must be you, which ans you can help us to be able to use Mana."
Xiao Yin nodded to her. [That's true, I can help you absorb Mana, but I must first make artificial Mana Crystals in your bodies. However, the process is complicated and painful, and it takes quite a bit of ti.]
"I think it's fine." Zhao Yao said as she shook her head. "After all, we are all cultivators, so it doesn't matter if we have to undergo such a process as long as our strength can increase even more, and Yun'er will definitely agree with ."
[If you all want that, I will imdiately prepare the materials.]
"Are all the materials available here? Or should I go to the outside world to find other materials?"I think you should take a look at
[No, you don't need to go to the outside world.] Xiao Yin then showed an image of the surveillance cara in the warehouse inside the Fortress. [My father has prepared various materials there, so we can get them later. However, we should focus on building the power grid and the teleportation device first, and we'll only think about the Mana Crystals after Master and the others return here.]
Zhao Yao sighed softly. "You're right, Xiao Yin. We must finish those two quickly to get this Fortress into its subspace asap."
[Yes]
After that, the two of them started to carry on with their tasks, and Zhao Yao summoned the won in Yunlong Zhuzai to help them, so they could finish things faster.

Several hours later, Ling Yun and the others had finished cultivating, and they imdiately returned to their area.
Afterward, Long Wei asked the remaining participants to take their numbers, and Ling Yun asked Ling Xi to set his next match. Soon, their nas appeared on the screen.
Chen Zong vs. Ye Jing
Ling Ling vs. Yi Mingzhu
Ling Xiya vs. Yu i
Feng Xing vs. Jiang Chen
Feng Qiong vs. Zhang Bing
Ling Yun vs. Dong Zhu
Like Tang Zhiyi before, Ye Jing also decided to give up her match, which made Chen Zong furious, and he felt belittled by Ling Yun's won.
"You bitch! How dare you underestimate !" Chen Zong shouted furiously. However, just as he was about to attack Ye Jing, he felt a stifling killing intent pressing down on him from behind and blood dripping from his neck.
"Zong'er!"
"Brother!"
Chen Wentian, Liu Ruyue, and Chen Rong shouted in panic as they saw Ling Yun press his Chaos Dragon Scythe against Chen Zong's neck. However, the three of them couldn't move to approach them, for Ling Xi imdiately restricted their movents.
Not only they, but the spectators were also shocked at Ling Yun's movent speed, and they were even more appalled after they saw the Chaos Dragon Scythe, for they clearly rembered that it was the weapon used by the mysterious masked man to behead the assassins of the Shui Clan before, which made them realize that the mysterious man was him.
"If you dare to move, I will cut your neck directly." Ling Yun's cold words tightened Chen Zong's heart, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. "I don't care if you fight Jing'er in the arena match, but she has already decided to give up on this match, and I won't stand idly if you attack her when she's not in the arena. However, you don't need to worry; I will let you go this one ti."
After he said that, Ling Yun imdiately put away his Chaos Dragon Scythe and casually walked back to his won side.
Chen Zong stood frozen in place, for he was frightened by Ling Yun's killing intent, and his ntal collapse instantly.
"Are you alright, Zong'er?" Liu Ruyue imdiately asked once she arrived at her son's side, and she glanced at Ling Yun with an angry look.
Chen Zong took a deep breath and answered his mother. "I'm fine, Mother."
"Are you still confident to fight him?" Chen Wentian asked his son.
Chen Zhong shook his head. "No! From the start, this competition was just a playground for him, and no one would be able to defeat him."
Chen Wentian sighed at that and led his son out of the arena. 'Sigh, it seems Zong'er won't be able to forget today's incident, and he probably won't be able to improve anymore.'
