Chapter 1496 Improvement



"It's really difficult for me." Inside the Heavenhold Secret Land, Yun Lintian lazily laid on a rocking chair, basking in the sunlight. A year had passed, but for him, who spent most of his time practicing, it felt like time moved slowly. Every minute was like a year.

On the side, Yue Chuntao lazily chewed a breadstick and said. "How did you practice in the past?"

"Through battles and the relics." Yun Lintian replied casually. The time he stayed in the place and meditated in the past could be counted on one hand. That was why it was difficult for him to do nothing but meditate during this year.

"Oh, no wonder." Yue Chuntao responded. Compared to fighting and boosting his strength through a heavenly treasure, meditation was indeed boring. Especially for a young man like Yun Lintian.

"How about sparring?" Yun Lintian glanced at her and asked.

"No. You can ask Tian Yuhan about it." Yue Chuntao continued to eat snacks without caring. She came here for a vacation. Why would she work hard?

"That's it." Yun Lintian nodded and continued to look at the bright sky.

The entire area was filled with a lazy atmosphere leaking from the two.

In the distance, Ning Yue had just finished her training session and walked over. Seeing the two act like corpses, she couldn't help shaking her head. 

During this year, Ning Yue never stopped training. She spent twenty hours a day on the training grounds and alchemy room. With the superb environment and tons of resources, her strength had already reached the peak of the Saint Profound Realm, a half-step away from the Monarch Profound Realm.

Moreover, her foundation was rock-solid. Her battle prowess was also abnormally high. She could easily defeat any middle-level Monarchs and be on par with a high-level one. As long as she continued with this pace, she would undoubtedly reach the Divine Origin Realm and above a hundred years later.

"Brother, do you want to take a look around?" Ning Yue arrived beside Yun Lintian and asked. "There will be a small competition below."

Yun Lintian didn't even move his body as he replied. "No. It's too boring."

? ? ? ? ? ? ?, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

Ning Yue rolled her eyes and sat in a vacant chair beside him. She poured herself a cup of water and drank elegantly.

Yun Lintian glanced at her and sighed slightly. "Our Yueyue is getting more beautiful again."

Ning Yue didn't even reach her coming of age yet, but her current appearance was like an eighteen-year-old girl. She grew taller and started to emit a feminine charm. Without a doubt, she would become a peerless beauty a decade later.

Ning Yue glared at him and said sternly. "When are you going to resume your training, brother? You have been lazing around for a whole month now, you know?"

It was not just her strength that had improved; the relationship between Ning Yue and Yun Lintian had also become more of a brother-sister. They would joke and play around without restraint. It was contrasted to a year ago.

"Ah… My Yueyue is not cute anymore. Time surely flies." Yun Lintian lamented like an old man.

Ning Yue gave him a punch and said. "Come, brother. I want to test my strength."

As much as Yun Lintian wanted to refuse, he couldn't say anything now, as Ning Yue had already dragged him into a vacant space nearby.

"Alright, alright." Yun Lintian said helplessly.

He stretched his waist lazily and asked. "Sword?"

"Mhm!" Ning Yue nodded and held a wooden sword firmly.I think you should take a look at

"Come. Don't hold back." Yun Lintian massaged his neck slightly and said.

Ning Yue took a deep breath and pointed the wooden sword at Yun Lintian. Her aura gradually surged. Suddenly, a bright green light flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes, and a pale green beam appeared before him. Everything happened in a split second.

"Not bad. Fast enough." Yun Lintian complimented as he raised his hand to slap the green beam away, sending it straight to a forest behind him. With a boom, several trees nearby were shredded into pieces.

At the same time, Yun Lintian discovered his legs were bound by a few thick vines, making him unable to move. 

"Oh?" He was slightly surprised because Ning Yue did it so seamlessly, which meant her proficiency in using profound arts had already reached a high level.

At this moment, all signs of light instantly dimmed, covering the entire area in darkness. The darkness seemed to encompass and swallow everything, leaving Ning Yue in all her glowing splendor. 

Ning Yue appeared before Yun Lintian with a bright green light surrounding her. A green arc descended from the sky and split into tree roots that struck Yun Lintian's head.

Yun Lintian raised his eyebrows slightly to look at the incoming sword intent. He had no intention of blocking it.

The wooden sword swept past Yun Lintian's head and smashed onto his left shoulder along with the condensed profound energy. 

Bang!

There was a loud explosion, and the ground beneath Yun Lintian instantly sunk in, creating a meter-deep crater. 

When the dust settled, Ning Yue's wooden sword was stuck on Yun Lintian's shoulder without moving. At the same time, there was no wound on his shoulder except for a tear on his robe.

Yun Lintian glanced at his shoulder slightly and said. "Not bad. You've managed to leave a scratch on my shoulder this time."

Meanwhile, Ning Yue felt numb all over her arm. When her sword touched Yun Lintian's shoulder, she felt like she had just hit a steel wall. It gave her the feeling that she would never break it, no matter how hard she tried.

Although this wasn't the first time Yun Lintian let her attack his body without defending, she was always amazed by his unbreakable physique.

"Your domain has improved a lot. It can block an opponent's perception for a short period. Your sword intent has also become several times sharper. An average monarch won't be able to block it." Yun Lintian expressed his thoughts.

Ning Yue retracted her sword and took a deep breath. "I'll work on it more."

Yun Lintian smiled and patted her head dotingly. "Just take a day off. Resting is also counted as another form of training."

Ning Yue hesitated briefly and said. "Alright."

In the distance, Yue Chuntao clicked her tongue. "He's really good at deceiving girls."

Swoosh—

Tian Yuhan suddenly appeared in the scene and looked at Yun Lintian. "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
