School flower's personal master

Chapter 12703

Lin Yi's expression was strange.

He was now certain that the other party was fusing secret techniques.

The problem is that the Dharma Image Secret Technique is not a fruit tree that can be easily grafted onto other trees.

Moreover, it wasn't just two or three branches that were grafted, but a total of one hundred and seventy-three branches!

No matter how you look at it, he's a complete madman.

What's even more frustrating is that, judging from Zhou Yuan's progress, it's not entirely impossible for him to succeed.

Moreover, as the fusion of secret techniques progressed, the Dao Dharma Image behind Zhou Yuan was also visibly evolving.

From the outside, Zhou Yuan was surrounded by radiant light, and his aura was rising steadily.

Deep within its eyes, the ancient majesty of the Dharma Emperor is slowly awakening.

A look of shock flashed across Zhang Baiyu's face: "At this rate, once he has fully integrated the secret technique, he will be able to reach at least the four-zhang Dharma Aspect stage!"

Lin Yi shook his head slightly: "More than that, it should be a pseudo-three-zhang Dharma form."

Zhang Baiyu was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yi asked, "What was his strength back then? Did he have a quota for the Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect?"

"There must be one. He once suppressed the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families so much that they couldn't raise their heads. He is most likely a fake Three-Zhang Dharma Form."

Zhang Baiyu replied.

Lin Yi's eyes were subtle: "I didn't expect the first one to be such a big fish. My Tianwu Hall has really been worth opening."

Tianjun is a place where hidden talents abound.

He only had a vague idea before, and as to how exactly it was full of hidden talents, he could only guess.

Now, the first big fish caught by Tianwu Hall after its opening is a pseudo-three-zhang Dharma Aspect level existence!

By the same token, it's unimaginable what other big fish might be lurking in those unknown places of Tianjun.

Lin Yi came to his senses and couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

Fortunately, this was right under his nose; otherwise, if a pseudo-three-zhang Dharma Aspect expert suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it would be a threat that could not be underestimated, both for the entire Tianjun County and for Lin Yi himself.

Of course, to some extent, this can also be considered a monster that Lin Yi himself cultivated.

Without the Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques collected by Tianwu Hall, Zhou Yuan wouldn't have been able to return to his peak so quickly.

But in the long run, it's just a matter of time.

Even without the Heavenly Martial Hall, Zhou Yuan had other means to collect secret techniques; it would just require more effort.

Zhang Baiyu frowned and said, "Something's not right."

Lin Yi asked, "What?"

Zhang Baiyu said thoughtfully, "Everything has a price, especially since his speed of improvement is so heaven-defying, the price must be even more terrifying, but he doesn't even need a fragment of godhood."

Lin Yi also fell into deep thought.

On the surface, Zhou Yuan only looked at the secret techniques in the treasury and achieved a huge improvement in his own Dharma form simply by integrating the secret techniques on his own.

The entire process did not involve any substantial resource costs.

This is indeed unreasonable.

Breaking through one's limits in a moment of enlightenment is not uncommon, no matter where one is.

But the essence of those epiphanies is actually breaking through bottlenecks. The resources consumed as required will not be reduced in the slightest. The only difference is whether they are accumulated in advance or compensated for afterward.

Zhou Yuan clearly didn't take this path.

Lin Yi said quietly, "If he doesn't bear the cost himself, then it can only mean that someone else is bearing the burden for him, and the cost is being borne by someone else."

Zhang Baiyu suggested, "Should we interrupt him?"

"Don't rush, let's wait and see."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

Putting aside the issue of cost, he was still very interested in the Dharma Aspect Secret Technique that Zhou Yuan was currently integrating.

Of the many Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques collected by Tianwu Hall, some are indeed quite remarkable, but very few can truly catch his eye, especially those that are suitable for his three-zhang Dharma Aspect level.

Even if most people train specifically, once they enter actual combat, the effect is not even as good as their normal punches and kicks.

There's nothing we can do. Regardless of what level of tyrants are lurking beneath the surface of Tianjun Water, at least on the surface, the highest level that has been passed down is only the Four-Zhang Dharma Form.

The power of a three-zhang-tall Dharma form was beyond the comprehension of the entire Tianjun.

Naturally, there are no suitable Dharma-form secret techniques to speak of.

Lin Yi had two choices: either go to the open area of ​​the Divine Realm to acquire these things, since the strength there was certainly no shortage of such things, or stay behind closed doors and spend a lot of time creating his own secret techniques.

Neither of them is very feasible.

In comparison, what's more reliable than simply getting Zhou Yuan for free?

After all, it's readily available.

In any other time, would you find such a good deal as to have a Dharma Emperor working for you?

While keeping an eye on Zhou Yuan's progress, Lin Yi was also busy. He hadn't even had a chance to open the five boxes of treasures from the Beast God Academy yet.

Anything that can be collected into the Beast God Academy's treasury is naturally of high quality.

However, Lin Yi didn't have high expectations.

There is no other reason than that Heaven's justice is impartial.

Since Heaven has ordered Yuan Chu to provide compensation in accordance with the contract, this compensation is essentially the double resources that Yuan Chu boasted about and promised to the group of traitorous students.

Since these are standard resources provided to students, even a wealthy institution like the Beast God Academy wouldn't go overboard with them.

Unsurprisingly, the five chests contained mostly fragments of divine essence.

For others, this is naturally a highly sought-after item, but the greater the level of a Dharma Aspect expert, the greater the consumption.

Unfortunately, for Lin Yi, it was better than nothing.

After all, he doesn't lack god fragments right now.

Especially in Tianjun, even though this thing is a hard currency through and through, he can't use it and can only hoard it in his hands.

Aside from fragments of divine essence, the majority of the remaining items were various kinds of pills.

At the level of a master of the Great Dao Dharma Aspect, ordinary elixirs are no longer effective, or at least no longer have a decisive effect.

The days of instantly advancing to a higher level after taking a single pill are long gone.

However, it can still provide some auxiliary benefits.

Lin Yi could tell that the pills produced by the Beast God Academy were of excellent quality and would definitely be in high demand on the market.

Unfortunately, it's still a double-edged sword for him.

It's a good way to reward and motivate subordinates, and even if it's not enough, it can still be considered a kind of hard currency when we go to the open area of ​​the Divine Realm.

Of the five boxes of the academy's storeroom, only two things truly caught Lin Yi's eye.

One is the recipe for crafting advanced divine equipment.

"The Uncrowned Crown?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the array of synthetic materials: "Ancient jade seal, discipline ring, royal medal... and even a mirage pearl?"

Surprisingly, one of the four parts was already in stock, which was a pleasant surprise.

The question remains: where to get the other three parts?

The other item was a mid-level divine equipment.

"Myriad Manifestations Robe, Intermediate Divine Gear, can be synthesized."

"Divine Gear Effect: Increases Yuan Shen strength by 15%, increases arcane resistance by 10%, and comes with the active skill 'Godly Aura'."

"Divine Aura: Creates an aura and pressure comparable to that of the gods, lasting for fifteen minutes." (End of Chapter)
