By the end of the first day, Yang Li's Floating Light Shadow had already reached the second level. His speed was comparable to that of a Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Phase.

A small circle of movement would leave behind an afterimage, which would be used to confuse the enemy.

Yang Li thought for a moment and decided to temporarily stop cultivating his movement technique. He began to study the cultivation of the Heaven's Circle.

As for the Heaven's Circle, it was a half-step magic technique after all. He had consumed pills to cultivate for two days, yet the Heaven's Circle could not cover his entire body.

Originally, the Spiritual Art could only protect the upper half of his body, but now, it could link with his head and cover it together. The duration reached 10 days.

But this was still enough. The defensive strength of the Heaven's Expanse Palace gave him a feeling that even if it was a first level Blood Tempering disciple, their full attack might not be able to directly break through his defense. If his cultivation level increased a bit, then his defensive strength would also become stronger.

There were still two days until the Large Competition's registration and entering the Beast Skin. He finally stabilized his cultivation and spirit arts, and then waited for the Large Competition registration.

Time seemed to pass in a flash. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. The registration for the Large Competition had begun.

However, Yang Li was in no hurry to register. He took out the beast skin. He planned to think about registering after he came out of the beast skin.

As the Spiritual Energy entered it, Yang Li suddenly disappeared from within the secret chamber and reappeared within the mysterious and ancient secret chamber.

After entering the secret location, Yang Li took out the supine phoenix spear, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

An unknown voice continued to echo in his mind as the Flame God Incantation slowly changed. The speed at which the spirit energy was circulating was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person. Yang Li's cultivation rose rapidly.

Middle stage of the ninth stage of Qi Accumulation!

Late ninth level of Qi Accumulation!

When Yang Li was about to break through to the Blood Tempering realm, he was unable to break through the barrier no matter what.

Feeling this scene, Yang Li couldn't help but panic, but he didn't give up. He continued to diligently circulate his Flame God Incantation in an attempt to break through to the Blood Tempering stage.

His hard work paid off. After an hour, the spirit energy that had been stored up for a long time suddenly exploded and forcefully broke through from the Qi Accumulating stage to the Blood Tempering stage.

His cultivation rose in a straight line and only stopped when he reached the late stage of the first level of Blood Tempering Stage.

The repulsive force of the Ancient Secret Grounds appeared once again, sending Yang Li away.

Returning to the cultivation tower, Yang Li stabilized his cultivation at the first moment. As he expected, the Flame God Incantation made another breakthrough, and this time it had reached the peak Huang grade.

The reserve of spiritual energy was even larger and its circulation was even faster. Threads of spiritual energy were gushing into the blood, uncovering an even greater amount of power.

At this time, a strange cultivation technique and a memory suddenly appeared in Yang Li's mind. Yang Li immediately began to look through the memory.

"Hmm? Bloodline inheritance? "What is this?" Yang Li could not help but have some doubts, but he continued to read.

"Host's bloodline power requires the Blood Tempering Realm to activate. At the same time, it is extremely difficult to break through into the Blood Tempering Realm with the power of your bloodline. You need extremely strong willpower, perseverance, and hard work."

"If I am unable to break through the Blood Tempering realm to become an evil being, then my bloodline will not be awakened again. At the same time, there will be restrictions. I will not be able to advance past the Spirit Realm for the rest of my life!"

"The inheritance in one's bloodline is to erupt with the power of the bloodline, temporarily raising one's cultivation."

"The awakening of the bloodline's power can allow the host's cultivation talent to be completely revealed. However, if the host turns evil, the bloodline's power will gradually disappear and the host's cultivation will disappear."

"Not being evil doesn't mean you need to be weak. If you are offended by someone else, you can kill them if they have the bloodline!" "No!"

After flipping through the entire memory, Yang Li seemed to understand why his family had an ancestral piece of beast skin. He also seemed to understand why his parents had become honest farmers.

Thinking of this, Yang Li began to look through the cultivation techniques that appeared in his mind.

"Blood Explosion Technique: Using spirit energy to stimulate one's bloodline's power to erupt with a strong power. The lower the cultivation, the shorter the period of weakness. It can be used for up to three days, or at the very least one day. Use it cautiously in non-dangerous situations."

After Yang Li finished reading the entire secret technique, he began to try to cultivate it. Because it was a secret technique brought about by the power of the bloodline, it was extremely easy for him to cultivate it.

After successfully cultivating, Yang Li directly used it. Since the outer sect competition had begun, even if he was weakened, it still wouldn't affect his participation in the competition.

According to the instruction in the secret method, he used spirit energy to stimulate his blood vessels. A large amount of spirit energy suddenly emerged from his blood vessels, and his entire realm instantly soared from the first level of the Blood Tempering Stage to the fifth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.

A surging aura gushed out. Yang Li wanted to test the duration of the secret technique before starting to practice his spear skills. He saw that the originally crimson red Spiritual Energy had turned into a demonic black color. Its power had greatly increased compared to before.

Yang Li then thrust his spear towards the Cultivation Stone, and the black flames suddenly rushed towards the Cultivation Stone, continuously burning it. A layer of the Cultivation Stone was melted, and it slowly disappeared.

On the other hand, the explosive spiritual energy of the Flame God Technique remained on the surface of the Cultivation Stone, but Yang Li didn't rush to detonate it.

After a quarter of an hour, his Qi started to slowly slip away from his body, and the Cultivation Stone was almost half melted by his Qi.

"Explode!"

With an angry shout, Yang Li ignited his spirit energy, causing the entire Cultivation Stone to explode. The room was filled with flying stone fragments.

After he detonated the cultivation stone, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the entire room. An Elder quickly rushed over after hearing this sound. In just a minute, he arrived at Yang Li's cultivation chamber and pounded on the door.

Hearing a knock on the door, Yang Li hurriedly opened the door to the secret room. An elder rushed in and quickly inspected the room before calming down.

"What's your name?" The Elder asked coldly.

"Disciple Yang Li." Yang Li hurriedly replied.

"You broke the Cultivation Stone?"

"Yes, Elder, disciple accidentally broke it when I was cultivating."

Hearing Yang Li say this, the Elder couldn't help but size him up, his eyes extremely strange.

It had to be known that the Cultivation Stones in the cultivation rooms of the outer sect disciples required the attack power of a seventh level of the Blood Tempering stage at the very least to cause any damage; the attack power of a ninth level of the Blood Tempering stage to be able to cause them to explode.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that this first level Blood Tempering disciple had been able to unleash an attack at the ninth level of the Blood Tempering Stage.

Yang Li was somewhat scared by the elder's gaze. He opened his mouth and asked, "Elder, do you want this disciple to compensate you with spirit stones?"

Only after hearing his words did the elder come to his senses.

"Oh, it's fine, there's no need for compensation. Just pay attention next time. Since you broke the Cultivation Stone and there's no problem with the array formation, you should go back to another room and continue cultivating."

Even though he said that, the elder's eyes were still filled with disbelief.

Yang Li didn't think too much and turned to leave the room, but the moment he stepped out of the room, he almost fell over.

A feeling of extreme weakness came from within his body, but he forced himself to stand and walked step by step towards the empty training room beside him.

After entering the training room and closing the door, Yang Li collapsed onto the floor, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"This period of weakness is a bit too exaggerated." Yang Li bitterly smiled.

Afterwards, Yang Li forced himself to walk to the center of the cultivation room and sit on a cushion as he began to recover his spiritual energy. This was because of the awakening of his bloodline, as well as the evolution of the Flame God Incantation.

The circulation of spiritual energy was almost twice as fast as before. Even so, it took a full hour for it to recover completely, and the feeling of weakness was also reduced.

After his spirit energy was fully recovered, Yang Li didn't get up in a hurry. Instead, he began to practice the Flame God Incantation.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The next morning, Yang Li felt that his identity token was trembling. He took it out to take a look and saw a message coming from above.

"Would you like to register for the outer sect competition?"

"Yes!" Yang Li decisively replied.

After the registration was over, Yang Li immediately left the cultivation tower and returned to his residence. He quietly sat in meditation, waiting for the outer sect competition to begin.

At this time, the disciples that were originally training in the training towers all returned to their respective residences.

Perhaps he could head to the Pill Hall, Trade Hall, and other halls in hopes of obtaining items that would help him advance further in the Large Competition.

A nervous aura suffused the entire outer court.
