Chapter 863: The Battle of the Saint Institute Begins
Lin Qian, who was entering a breakthrough state, was surrounded by an aura of soul energy, causing a disturbance, as his dantian began to change.
The power of space, omnipresent in the world, began to resonate with Lin Qian's body, penetrating into him.
World Realm, perceiving the power of space.
Upon entering the World Realm, an Artifact Refiner can create Grotto Heaven soul devices, where soul energy contains the power of space.
When forming a soul energy barrier, it is as if there is a spatial division; breaking the soul energy defense of a World Realm Soul Martial Artist is extremely difficult for someone in the Qi Refinement Realm.
Upon entering the World Realm, the dantian meridians within the body are also affected by the power of space, greatly enhancing the area that can accommodate soul energy.
This is why, after entering the World Realm, soul energy increases significantly; compared to the Qi Refinement Realm, it is like comparing two different worlds.
Due to the wonders of the World Realm, being able to transcend levels like Sheng Da to defeat ordinary World Realm entities is truly the mark of a genius.
The most dangerous aspect of ascending to the World Realm is resonating with the power of space, avoiding the dantian meridians being shattered by the spatial power.
Therefore, during a breakthrough, not only must there be abundant spiritual energy and a stable environment, but one must also be exceedingly cautious.
The students of the Huaxia Alliance received the potion and cultivation technique bestowed by Lin Qian, transforming their aptitude drastically. The potion further solidified their meridians and dantian, making breakthroughs incredibly easy.
As for Lin Qian, with the Sky Trace guarding his dantian, the spiritual energy from the Xuanhuan Star continually poured in, tempering his dantian meridians, achieving unparalleled robustness.
Breaking through to the World Realm was simply effortless.
As time gradually passed, the day of the Saint Academy battle had arrived.
Sky Fighting Star is the planet where the Overlord Hall cultivates, and among the planets surrounding the Saint Institute, it is the place with the densest spiritual energy, also the location where the Saint Academy battle is most frequently held.
Of course, this Saint Academy battle refers to the outer academy students; the battle site for the inner academy students of the Saint Institute is not located here.
Before the Saint Academy battle began, it was crowded outside the battlefield; a multitude of Saint Institute students gathered here to witness the battle.
Since it is a nine-on-nine Saint Academy battle, the venue naturally won't be very large, and the space for spectators is limited.
Fortunately, the Saint Institute allows the power of the array to project the battle situation to various locations, enabling those within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute to see everything clearly.
Furthermore, Sea Spiral Holy Institute students can concentrate their soul energy through their Identity Jade to project the scene and watch the Saint Academy battle.
Even before the Saint Academy battle had begun, there was already intense discussion, as everyone speculated on how long the Huaxia Alliance could endure in this battle.
Almost no one believed the Huaxia Alliance could win this Saint Academy battle.
Few were convinced of their victory.
In a small courtyard deep within the inner academy, a soul energy screen formed by an array floated midair.
Wei Wushuang and Wei Qingqing sat in this courtyard.
"What was your precious disciple thinking, falling for such a clumsy provocation?" Wei Qingqing couldn't understand as she munched on fried peanuts from the table, "By the way, this food your disciple gave you is quite good, perfect for leisure time."
"Then eat more, that kid gave me plenty anyway." Wei Wushuang took a sip of the cola Lin Qian had sent him, looking at the soul energy screen before him, "You know how cunning my disciple can be, just wait and see, he surely has a plan."
Wei Qingqing nodded secretly; her husband from her ninth life, found by her disciple, was a little monster, incomprehensible by ordinary logic.
"So, how confident are you in your disciple's chances this time?" After a moment, Wei Qingqing asked again.
Wei Wushuang answered without hesitation: "Certain Victory."
"Such confidence; let's see, I think winning won't be too easy, though."
Countless people were paying attention to this Saint Academy battle.
This time, in the battlefield on Sky Fighting Star, it could comfortably accommodate the eighteen World Realm Soul Martial Artists fighting.
Half of it was rugged mountains covered with forests, and the other half was a large lake.
This area was reinforced by an array, so the eighteen World Realm Soul Martial Artists' battle caused limited environmental damage.
There was an hour left before the Saint Academy battle would begin.
At that time, the power of the Saint Institute's array would transfer them to the battlefield before the battle started.
Of course, they could also apply for early entry.
In the battlefield of the Saint Academy battle, a soul energy war platform suddenly condensed midair.
Nine figures gradually appeared above.
Among them, one person, burly with numerous patterns on his body, was the strongest Saint Rune Clan member of the Overlord Hall. Beside him stood a member of the Human Clan, Prince Liu Jianqing of the Huaqiong Empire.
Additionally, the Bursting Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, War Blade Clan, Hard Clan, the Strange Soul Clan, Wood Realm Clan, and Divine Stone Clan appeared in that area, exuding a formidable presence.
The appearance of the nine strongest from the Overlord Hall incited cheers, especially from their fellow clan members engulfed in enthusiasm.
On the other side, another group of people silently anticipated.
Many noticed that these were the members of the Huaxia Alliance.
And among them, it turned out that Sheng Da and others, whom they thought would participate, were also there.
This place was the viewing area for the Saint Academy battle; if they appeared here, they wouldn't be transported into the battlefield. Were they not going to fight?
Meanwhile, Lin Qian hadn't actively appeared on the battlefield, as did Ye Xin.
In the Trial Land dwelling, Lin Qian was still immersed in the state of breaking through the realm. Ye Xin was beside him, looking very anxious.
From the aura of her husband, his breakthrough was far from over, and it was unknown when he would complete it.
However, the time until the Saint Academy battle was not much, and if the breakthrough wasn't completed soon, he might be transported into the Saint Academy battle while still in this state.
As time flowed, suddenly a white light emerged, enveloping Lin Qian.
At this moment, Lin Qian also opened his eyes, smiling wryly: "I didn't expect that by the Saint Academy battle, I still hadn't finished the breakthrough."
"How is it going? Will it affect you?" Ye Xin asked anxiously, full of concern.
To this, Lin Qian waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry: "It's fine, the breakthrough is imminent, and achieving it during the Saint Academy battle is not out of the question."
As he finished speaking, Lin Qian vanished before Ye Xin.
And Ye Xin hurriedly took out her Identity Jade, unfolding the Saint Academy battle scene.
