Bai Xue and the four puppets looked at Jing Yan with smiles on their faces and walked quickly towards him.
"Jing Yan, congratulations!" Old Seven squinted his eyes.
"Not bad, you succeeded in your breakthrough on the first try," Old Four nodded.
"The breakthrough was successful, but the resource consumption was also frightening! All these years of accumulated resources have been nearly depleted in one go!" Jing Yan shook his head with a bitter smile.
Top-grade Spirit Stones are still manageable!
The problem is that the materials used to refine the Heavenly Repairing Pills and other elixirs were also almost entirely consud. Replenishing them in a short period is not easy. Especially the Divine Crystals, which are extrely rare even in the Despair Abyss. According to Bai Xue, there are only a few Divine Crystals in the treasure vault of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, and even then, they can only be used occasionally by the three Sect Masters.
Jing Yan looked at the remaining Divine Crystals in his possession from the Lingluo Space. Of the over nine hundred, there were only ten left now. Those ten would be entirely absorbed in less than two hours with his current cultivation.
"Jing Yan, don’t ntion resources in front of us. You’ve already entered the First Hall’s treasure vault and chosen your treasures. We won’t open the vault a second ti," Old Five said with a stern face.
"Alright, since that’s the case..."
Jing Yan’s aura surged, and his palm suddenly lifted, releasing a wave of primordial energy that pressed down on the four puppets.
"Pa pa! Pa pa!"
With several light sounds, the four puppets, including Old Four and Old Five, whose strength was comparable to ordinary Saint Realm Third Stage Martial Artists, were all pressed to the ground by the imnse force.
The four puppets roared in anger but were unable to break free.
"Stepping into the Saint Realm Third Stage has greatly increased my power!" Jing Yan looked at the struggling puppets on the ground and chuckled before withdrawing his primordial energy.
It was just a casual move without even using his weapon, yet he pressed the four puppets to the ground. Although it was sowhat unexpected, even if the puppets had been prepared, they would have only lasted a bit longer.
Once Jing Yan withdrew his energy, the four puppets got up with dirt-smudged faces, glaring at Jing Yan with disgruntled eyes.
If they could defeat Jing Yan, they would certainly teach him a lesson. The problem was that they were no match for him now. They could only endure being suppressed.
"Jing Yan, what skill is it to attack us? If you have the ability, go challenge Second and Third Brothers in the Second Hall," Old Seven shouted.
"Fourth Brother, with my current strength, do you think I have any hope of lasting a cup of tea’s ti in the Second Hall?" Jing Yan ignored Old Seven and asked Old Four.
"Not much hope!"
"However, you can give it a try. It’s difficult to last a cup of tea, but with your current combat power, Second and Third Brothers would find it hard to kill you quickly. Just surrender if you can’t hold on," Old Four pondered.
"Bai Xue, wait for here!" Jing Yan’s eyes brightened as he turned to Bai Xue.
"Alright! Jing Yan, be careful and don’t overdo it," Bai Xue advised.
"Whoosh!" Jing Yan’s figure flashed as he rushed towards the Second Hall.
If he succeeded in challenging the Second Hall, he would receive the final part of the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill inheritance.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, I’m here again!" Jing Yan shouted as soon as he entered the Second Hall.
In his Divine Thought, the silhouettes of Second and Third Brothers rapidly approached.
Shortly after, terrifying black blade lights appeared.
"Buzz!" The dark red longsword in Jing Yan’s hand emitted dazzling light to counter.
"Boom!"
A loud bang rang out, and Jing Yan’s body was thrown back a few steps, though he quickly regained his footing.
"Hmm? Jing Yan, your strength has improved again!" the Third Brother, who had made the move, looked at Jing Yan with a furrowed brow. "You never left the Death Temple? You broke through the Martial Arts Realm right here in the temple?"
Second Brother and Third Brother hadn’t been to the First Hall, so they didn’t know Jing Yan had stayed there all along.
"That’s right! Third Brother, let’s continue!" Jing Yan wielded his longsword and launched an attack.
"Hmph, do you think that breaking through to the Saint Realm Third Stage makes you my equal? Jing Yan, you think too simply!" Third Brother sneered.
The blade light slashed down!
This ti, the black blade light carried the energy fluctuation of a Martial Arts Secret thod, and it was at least on the Heavenly Level!
Jing Yan released his Sword Intent Divine Ability and employed the Holy Light Sword Technique.
The two figures clashed continuously. The red sword light and the black blade light intertwined.
Only then did Jing Yan realize that both Second and Third Brothers could use Martial Arts Secret thods. A year ago, during his first ti in the Second Hall, Third Brother had slashed at him without using any secret thods, likely holding back intentionally.
"Boom boom!" The battle grew increasingly intense.
Jing Yan, wielding the dark red longsword and using his Sword Intent Divine Ability, was evenly matched with Third Brother!
"This kid is pretty strong! Second Brother, it’s ti to act, or he’ll really last a cup of tea’s ti." After a while, Third Brother spoke up.
"Alright!" Second Brother nodded.
"Wow!"
Second Brother joined the battle.
"Sizzle!"
"Boom!" Jing Yan imdiately found himself at a disadvantage. After just over ten breaths, he was overwheld.
"This isn’t fair!"
"Second Brother, Third Brother, the two of you against one of , that’s not fair. How about I last a cup of tea’s ti against each of you one-on-one?" Jing Yan retreated while activating his Defense Holy Artifact.
"Kid, these are the rules of the Death Temple, not sothing we can change!" Second Brother shouted, slashing down with his blade.
"I surrender!" Jing Yan conceded directly.
Under such circumstances, lasting a cup of tea’s ti was impossible. Jing Yan had used every thod at his disposal, only managing to match Third Brother. Second Brother was even stronger, and facing both simultaneously, Jing Yan stood no chance.
In the confined space of the temple, the Sky Wings’ speed couldn’t be fully utilized, making it impossible to use speed to delay the fight.
As soon as Jing Yan surrendered, Second and Third Brothers stopped their attacks.
Without needing any more words, Jing Yan exited the Second Hall.
"Jing Yan, you managed to last half a cup of tea’s ti?"
"Longer than I expected!"
"Not bad at all, half a cup of tea’s ti. If you could last another half-cup of tea’s ti, you would pass the Second Hall!" The Life Puppets comnted.
"Jing Yan, are you alright?" Bai Xue looked at him anxiously for any injuries.
"I’m fine, no injuries!" Jing Yan waved to Bai Xue. "My current strength still isn’t enough to last a cup of tea’s ti in the Second Hall. I need to continue improving. Let’s enter seclusion again! Bai Xue, we need to stay here for so more ti, so you should also train in seclusion."
"Alright." Bai Xue nodded.
