C124 Third Level of Condensation Spin Stage

If someone could curry favor with one of these individuals, their strength would see a significant boost. As a result, numerous ordinary and elite disciples from the Inner Sect would congregate outside the Strong List area daily.

Today's events within the Strong List area did not escape their watchful eyes, leaving the Inner Sect disciples utterly astounded. Lin Xuan's extraordinary talent had taken them by surprise once more. It took some time for them to regain their composure before they eventually dispersed. Such excitement was a welcome diversion from the monotony of their usual cultivation routines, and they were eager to share the news.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was unaware of the stir he'd caused as he returned to his loft. He couldn't help but smile as he tallied up the day's haul: 450,000 contribution points and 54,000 Substandard Spirit Stones—ample resources for his upcoming cultivation sessions. Lin Xuan then retreated to his cultivation chamber to resume his intensive training in solitude.

As Lin Xuan immersed himself in his practice, another wave of commotion swept through the Inner Sect, with Lin Xuan once again at the center of it all. He had vanquished Hu Yuanhua, ascending to the 28th position on the Strong List as a cultivator in the Qi Transformation Stage. Not long after, he issued yet another challenge, and Tian Guangliang, ranked 22nd, found himself utterly outmatched and defeated by Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan's prowess now rivaled that of the Strong List's top ten, aligning closely with the officially published rankings.

The news of Lin Xuan's formidable strength sent shockwaves through those who heard it. But what Lin Xuan did next was even more astonishing. With an enigmatic look, he refrained from claiming Tian Guangliang's Strong List Token. Instead, he had Tian Guangliang purchase his own token back from him, effectively using the Strong List ranking as leverage for extortion. Tian Guangliang capitulated, relinquishing his savings.

This turn of events left onlookers with even more bewildered expressions. No one had anticipated Lin Xuan's success, and they were at a loss for words. Lin Xuan, however, continued to profit. Zhang Xin, ranked 18th, willingly surrendered his savings to Lin Xuan, justifying it as compensation for Lin Xuan's martial arts mentorship.

Lin Xuan genuinely took the time to mentor Zhang Xin, pinpointing the shortcomings in Zhang Xin's swordsmanship.

He even gave a demonstration, effortlessly swinging his sword toward the pavilion.

The pavilion's defensive Spell Formation, known for its resilience, automatically sprang to life.

Ultimately, the formation's barrier shimmered with ripples, its glow dimming slightly.

Everyone was taken aback.

It was common knowledge that the pavilions in the Strong List area were protected by particularly robust Spell Formations, which even those in the Spirit Opening Stage struggled to breach.

Yet Lin Xuan's strike was so formidable.

It indicated that Lin Xuan's prowess had ascended into the Strong List's top ten.

Furthermore, this was merely a casual display of power after a single observation of the sword technique.

It wasn't even the full extent of his abilities.

In essence, Lin Xuan was far more powerful than he had shown!

His standing would undoubtedly climb even higher!

The revelation left everyone astounded.

While no elite disciple openly acknowledged it, none could deny it either.

Their silence was confirmation enough.

Was this truly the case?

The thought of Lin Xuan's daunting strength and talent sent shockwaves through the crowd.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhiquan, ranked thirteenth on the Strong List, willingly offered up his savings for Lin Xuan's guidance on an entirely different sword technique.

Wu Jie, who held the ninth spot, proactively sought reconciliation with Lin Xuan, extending an apology to dissolve their past animosity.

These gestures served as a testament to Lin Xuan's extraordinary talent and strength.

His name rippled through the sect once more, his renown multiplying exponentially.

He was now undisputedly hailed as the sect's premier genius, beyond any challenge or doubt.

Even the previously skeptical Core disciples were left speechless.

Upon hearing the news, Sect Master Liu Changfeng released a deep, contemplative sigh.

Meanwhile, Wang Xufeng, ensconced within the Martial Arts Pavilion, reveled in quiet elation, offering silent prayers.

...

Unaware of these developments, Lin Xuan, armed with ample Spirit Stones, devoted most of his time to secluded cultivation.

He was determined to maximize his strength and advance his cultivation realm.

As time steadily flowed, five days slipped by unnoticed.

Within the cultivation chamber, the sound of the wind roared, and a force akin to distant thunder reverberated, accompanied by a series of sharp, crackling noises.

It vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

Lin Xuan, seated cross-legged on a cattail hassock, slowly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam passing through them as he gazed into the void before him.

"Divine Level Duplication System."

"Host: Lin Xuan."

"Realm: Third Level of the Condensation Spin Stage."

"Talent: Spirit Grade Cultivation Talent, Superior Grade Talents (Speed, Strength, Pill Refining), Top Grade Talents (Blade Dao, Sword Dao), Top Grade Attribute Talents (Sharp Gold, Fierce Wind, Crimson Fire, Green Wood, Earth, Heavy Water), High-Grade Attribute Talents (Ice, Lightning)."

"Martial Arts: Golden Scale Barbaric Elephant Arts (Unknown, Incomplete, Beginner Level), Mixed Essence Formula (Mid Grade Rank 7, Initial Perfect Level), Rising Sun Saber Technique (Low Rank 7, Great Completion), Sky Quake Sword Art (Low Rank 7, Great Completion)."

"Tyrant Fist (Low Rank 7, Great Completion), Startling Waves Palm (Low Rank 7, Great Completion), Split-Space Leg (Low Rank 7, Great Completion), Shadow Pursuing Skill (Low Rank 7, Great Completion), Flame Manipulation (Low Rank 6, Initial Perfect Level)."

"Concept: 40% Saber Intent, 40% Sword Intent, 40% Artistic Conception of Wind, 20% Artistic Conception of Gold, 30% Artistic Conception of Fire, 20% Artistic Conception of Earth, 10% Artistic Conception of Wood."

"Energy Points: 2,086,000."

"Walkspace: 432."

Lin Xuan gave a slight nod as he reviewed the attribute panel floating in the void before him, a flicker of amusement in his eyes:

"At last, I've made the breakthrough to the Condensation Spin Stage, and I've surged straight to the third level in one fell swoop!"

Over the past five days, he had exhausted the fifty thousand-plus Substandard spirit stones he had earned.

And of the four hundred thousand-plus contribution points, he had redeemed a substantial amount for various pills, leaving only a hundred thousand behind.

With such an abundance of cultivation resources at his disposal, this time he was far from disappointed.

He had not only achieved a smooth breakthrough to the Condensation Spin Stage but had also ascended several levels to reach the third level of the Condensation Spin Stage.

Lin Xuan was quite pleased with himself.

Moreover, he had made significant progress with the Golden Scale Barbaric Elephant Arts.

"My Golden Scale Barbaric Elephant Arts have greatly advanced this time!" Lin Xuan whispered to himself, feeling the surge of power within his body that was now far more intense than before.

With a thrust of his fist, the air in front of him burst apart.

A level 1 Transparent Light Shield materialized, absorbing much of the force.

The shield shimmered, its light fading significantly before finally vanishing.

This was the defensive Spell Formation built into the pavilion, designed to activate automatically when it detected an attack of a certain magnitude.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's effortless punch was exponentially more formidable than the sword move he had demonstrated to Zhang Xin just five days earlier.
