Hearing that, Zhu Ziyang's face immediately blushed, and she rolled her eyes at him helplessly: "You're still talking! "I think you're the one who's more like a demon beast. Even a demon beast might not have such a perverted physique like you …"

Lin Cheng suddenly laughed out loud.

On the other hand, he could understand Bamboo Shoot's worries, but in his heart, he was quite surprised at how talented this girl was.

Ever since they had collected enough spirit stones from the Chu Family mine, the two of them had distanced themselves from Tzu Cheng. With a calm mind and cultivation, Zhu Ziquan quickly displayed her exceptional talent.

In the beginning, both of them were at the second level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. In terms of true strength, Lin Cheng had far surpassed her. That was because only three main meridians remained unopened in Lin Cheng.

However, as the two of them started to use Spirit Stones to cultivate, and with the help of sufficient medicinal pills, Zhu Ziyang's talent began to show itself.

Furthermore, with the help of the elixirs, it had become much easier for her to open up the meridians in her body. This resulted in her being able to open up all the meridians in her body in less than a month's time compared to Lin Cheng.

At this time, her cultivation level was already not any lower than Lin City's.

However, the next action that Zhu Ziyang took completely stunned Lin Cheng.

After all the meridians in his body had been opened up, Bamboo Gou's cultivation seemed to have become like a rampaging berserk demon beast. She was constantly breaking through, and her cultivation realm was constantly increasing.

5th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

6th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

Seventh layer.

Eight waves …

Unexpectedly, she kept reaching the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. Only then did her progress finally come to a stop!

Along the way, there was not a single barrier that obstructed her. It was as if the barriers between those realms were made of paper. She could break through at any time if she wanted to.

He finally realized that when she was taking the test in the East State Academy, the test of her aptitude showed that her spiritual energy affinity was a deep blue color. Just what did this mean!?

At that time, when Zhu Ziyang's results were out, the surrounding people were all shocked. Not only were there people who were envious of her, even the exam teacher was looking at her with a gaze full of admiration.

It even alarmed Patriarch Seven of the East Region Academy, who decided to take Zhu Zifu as his disciple.

Even though Lin Chen had seen all kinds of signs of it happening, he was still able to understand that Lin Chen's affinity for the spiritual energy was deep blue. This could be said to be an astonishing talent.

However, Lin Cheng had no idea what this talent represented, or how amazing it would be for Zhu Zifu to become a cultivator.

With a talent like Spiritual Qi Affinity, only after becoming a cultivator would one be able to absorb Spiritual Qi directly and achieve the most obvious results.

As for the martial artist stage, although they were also absorbing spirit energy, their body couldn't store spirit energy and could only use it to refine their body. This kind of talent naturally couldn't have any obvious effects.

Thus, even though Lin City knew that Zhu Ziyang's talent was extraordinary, they all knew how extraordinary his talent was. Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or in his current life, he had never come into contact with a cultivator.

But now, Lin City had finally witnessed it!

With her deep blue Spiritual Qi compatibility, which was known as a genius by the teachers of the East Continent Academy, after coming in contact with the Spirit Stones and having enough Spirit Stones for her to cultivate, Lin City was finally able to display a talent that shocked and stunned her.

In merely eight months' time, Zhu Ziyang had broken through continuously, reaching the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

Next, as long as she had a little more breakthroughs, she would be able to step into the Danhai Realm!

If she was able to successfully shatter her own dantian, complete the transformation of her dantian into the sea, and completely convert the Yuan Power in her body into spirit energy, then she would become a true cultivator!

If this cultivation speed were to be spread out, perhaps there wouldn't even be a person who would be shocked … Because no one would believe that!

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng could not help but shake his head with a wry smile. Luckily, his mind was firm, otherwise, seeing Zhu Ziyang's astonishing cultivation speed, even a genius would be unable to recover from this blow.

However, because Zhu Ziyang had broken through to the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm in a single breath, his speed was unbelievably fast. Zhu Ziyang had also yet to fully adapt to the sudden increase in his strength, and his control over his elemental energy had yet to reach an extremely minute level.

Just like earlier, when she swept her gaze across the surrounding boatmen and adventurers, they were all frightened to the point that they hurriedly shifted their gazes away. That was because she did not completely control her elemental energy to a very small degree.

Zhu Ziyang also realized that this was a problem for her, so she quickly stopped her breakthrough. She decided that she would first adapt to the sudden rise in her strength, consolidate her cultivation, and build up her foundation.

As for Lin City, although they were also training arduously, the speed at which their strength was being raised was far inferior to that of Zhu Ziyang.

With all of the meridians in his body opened up, he spent three more months to finally break through to the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

Otherwise, given Lin City's physique, it would take him an unknown amount of time to achieve a breakthrough. Perhaps two to three years, or even ten to eight years would not be impossible for him to do so.

The reason was because of the cultivation method that Lin City had adopted to suppress its cultivation.

At the second level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, he had already opened up all 36 main meridians in his body, almost one whole stage ahead of the majority of the martial artists.

And the consequence of this was that his meridians had become so strong that it would make one's hair stand on end!

The elemental energy in his body was so dense that it could rival a powerhouse at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm!

It could be said that other than the fact that his meridians were insufficient and that his recovery and cultivation speed was far inferior to a powerhouse at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, his physique and elemental energy alone were not much weaker!

It could be imagined just how massive of an amount of origin energy it would take to break through with such a strong physique and strong meridians. If he wanted to condense his pulse wheel then he would have to endure a great deal of pain!

Boundless soul force that was one to two times thicker than other martial artists. It crazily rampaged through their meridians, forming chakras. Just how difficult was this process?

A sufficient amount of spirit stones could provide him with sufficient energy. However, the pill could not completely remove the pain from his breakthrough, much less guarantee a foolproof breakthrough for him.

Lin City was naturally able to refine such a pill. However, he did not have enough medicinal ingredients, especially any heavenly or earthly treasures.

In fact, even if Lin Cheng had enough heaven and earth treasures, he would not rely entirely on pills to forcefully raise his cultivation level. If he did that, his foundation would be unstable, and he might even leave behind a huge hidden danger.

To completely rely on external objects to raise one's realm was to reverse the outcome!

Regardless of whether it was medicinal pills or spirit stones, they could only be supplementary. Cultivation was ultimately the cultivation of the person, the self!

As a result, Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and with the aid of the elixirs, great perseverance and extreme madness, he broke through to the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm in less than a year's time. All he needed was his Dantian to become a cultivator!

Although he spent three more months and countless more Spirit Stones than Zhu Ziyang, it was also because of his mediocre talent and the difficulty of breaking through that level. On the contrary, he didn't run into the same trouble as Zhu Ziyang, and every step he took was steady and steady, especially with his grasp of the 'Force', which allowed him to easily control his Yuan Li to an extremely minute degree.

His willpower and his perception had also increased explosively. Although Lin Cheng didn't know what level Wen Zhongming had stepped into the Danhai stage, he was very confident. Even if the Danhai stage cultivators were to come, he would still dare to fight!

"It's a pity that I have used up all my Spirit Stones. Otherwise, you might have been able to break through to the Danhai Realm!"

"Little thief, don't forget what you promised me. If you feel that you are no match for me, you must not force me. You must immediately escape, the farther the better …"

There was a faint trace of worry in her voice.

Wen Zhong was already a mighty warrior who had stepped into the Danhai Realm. Although Zhu Ziyang had never seen him fight before, it was obvious that a powerful warrior who was related to the Danhai Realm was terrifying just by thinking about it!

If Lin City continued cultivating, it might not even take a year or even half a year for him to break through to the Danhai Realm. At that time, even if he had to face Wen Zhongming, Lin City would have the strength to fight him, or even win!

Unfortunately, when they cultivated to the end, the spirit stones they took with them were completely used up. Without sufficient cultivation resources and only relying on their own cultivation, their speed was simply too slow. Thus, the two of them left the forest and arrived at Ci City.

Hearing Zhu Ziguang's worry, Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Fine, I promise you. If I find out that Wen Zhongming is too powerful, I'll turn around and run."

Zhuzi bit her lips and said, "If I fall into his hands, you don't have to worry about me. Only if you escape will you have the chance to defeat him."

"Don't worry."

Lin Cheng laughed, "I definitely won't care about you then. If Wen Zhongming comes after me, I'll throw you out to attract his attention and flee by myself."

Zhu Ziquan naturally knew that he was joking, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. The worry in her heart was somewhat relieved.

She looked at Ci Cheng, who was already within reach, and could not help but say softly, "I wonder if the two of us were being too reckless in barging in just like that."
