Chapter 596: Scripture

"Boom!"

High above the medical department of the Golden Academy, a roar that sounded as if it were tearing the heavens and earth apart suddenly erupted. This massive sound came so abruptly that it startled many people, and soon, experts in the vicinity took to the air one after another.

"What happened? Did the great demons of the Demon God Realm attack, or have the cultivators of the Profound Immortal Continent come for revenge?"

"It's not an enemy invasion; it must be our own people fighting, as we haven't received any alarm warnings from the Golden Academy side."

"Who is making a move in the Golden Academy again, and with such a commotion? They don't even know how to show a little restraint."

Accompanied by the sound of discussion, many experts now looked toward the direction from which the commotion originated.

They saw a force of dragon and tiger roaring through the heavens and earth, carrying boundless divine power, with an aura that seemed capable of overturning mountains and rivers. Greeting this strike was a massive Buddha statue. Although this Buddha was illusory in color, it possessed incredible might, actually resisting this terrifying dragon-tiger force head-on.

Wait.

It seemed it hadn't resisted it.

The golden Buddha statue began to crack continuously at this moment. Even though this Buddha chanted scriptures to bolster itself, it was of no avail. Finally, as the golden body shattered, the remaining force of the dragon-tiger power, undiminished, surged toward Aus and the others.

"This power, how is it possible? When this Li Yi made a move last time, he didn't have such divine power."

Aus's pupils suddenly constricted. He couldn't believe that in just a short period, this Li Yi was several times stronger than when he had fought Du Du Bai Zhi. This kind of growth in strength was simply inconceivable.

At this realm, everyone's cultivation speed had already slowed down; even dual-cultivating multiple methods made it difficult to advance by leaps and bounds.

Yet, the Li Yi before his eyes defied this common logic.

"Careful."

At this moment, the two teammates beside Aus immediately made their moves as well, joining forces in an attempt to block this dragon-tiger force.

Yet, they saw the energy within the two bodies surge, then transform into solid form, like two indestructible great shields, blocking the attack before them.

Even though it was only the remaining force being vented, the two still felt as if they had been fiercely struck by a great mountain descending from the sky. That terrifying power caused both of them to instantly spray a mouthful of blood.

The three figures retreated violently.

They were blasted back by this punch for a full two thousand meters before they could barely stop in mid-air.

"This power, are you joking?" The two who had barely blocked the strike raised their heads, ignoring the injuries on their bodies, and looked at Li Yi with a hint of fear.

This was simply not the power an Evolver should possess.

Under that dragon-tiger roar, it was as if a young god were waving his fist, shaking the heavens and earth.

"His strength has more than doubled compared to before. A miscalculation. If we had known it would be like this, we shouldn't have made this trip." Aus took a deep breath at this moment, his whole body trembling slightly, regretting his previous reckless behavior.

If Li Yi only had the strength he possessed when fighting Du Du Bai Zhi, the three of them joining forces might not have been a match, but they definitely wouldn't have fallen into a disadvantageous position.

But now.

The opponent had blasted all three of them back with a single punch; the disparity in strength was evident.

Moreover, with such a strike, the opponent clearly hadn't used his full strength. If he had gotten serious, he feared they would already be dead.

"Not bad, to be able to take a punch from me, but that is all." Li Yi slowly lowered his fist at this moment.

"I'm sorry about what happened just now; it was our fault. I apologize to you." Aus immediately changed his attitude, flew forward alone, and then bowed in person to offer an apology, fearing that Li Yi would make another move.

Li Yi said: "An apology is enough after offending someone? Am I that easy to fool, or is the lives of the three of you that worthless? If you want to apologize, you must show sincerity; otherwise, this matter will not end here."

Aus didn't say a word, immediately taking out a scripture cast in gold from his own storage magic treasure. He respectfully handed it over: "This is a precious scripture I obtained from crossing dimensions, named the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra. Every time it is chanted, one can receive the blessing of all Buddhas once, which can strengthen the soul and stimulate potential. Its mysteries are boundless. Let this treasure serve as an apology."

Li Yi glanced at Lin Yue, then said: "You are quite good at choosing gifts, knowing that her soul is injured and that she urgently needs a means to treat the soul."

After speaking, he directly grabbed the golden scripture and opened it to take a look.

What was engraved above was indeed a precious scripture, possessing incredible and miraculous power. Just by silently reciting a sentence in his heart, he felt a force in the heavens and earth blessing his whole body, and his soul also felt a sense of comfort because of it.

"Very well, I accept the item. You may go."

Afterward, he waved his hand, signaling that the three could leave.

Aus immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt pained to give away the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, if he hadn't done so today, he feared he would have been beaten to death on the spot by this Li Yi in two or three punches, and even if he could save his life, he would likely have had to forfeit his entire cultivation base.

Therefore, he didn't have any hesitation, and after obtaining Li Yi's permission, he left immediately without looking back.

"Sister Lin, did you see? Practitioners are just like this. If you don't show your strength, everyone will treat you as nothing. After taking a punch and knowing how formidable you are, they learn to be obedient."

Li Yi looked at the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra in his hand and then handed it over: "This thing is indeed helpful for soul recovery. Sister Lin, keep it well. If you chant it once every day when you have time, I believe it won't be long before your strength sees a great improvement."

"Give it to me? That wouldn't be very good." Lin Yue shook her head at this moment, wanting to refuse.

Li Yi said: "I don't have time to chant scriptures. When I have time in the future, you can return it to me then."

"Alright then." Lin Yue nodded, accepting the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra.

"However, they suffered a loss today. I fear that so-called Cross-Dimensional Alliance won't let the matter rest so easily. They will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. You must be a little careful."

Afterward, she said with great concern.

Li Yi said: "I am already being hunted by people from the Profound Immortal Continent; why should I worry about some Cross-Dimensional Alliance? If they really dare to come, next time it won't be as simple as an apology; they will have to leave their lives behind." Lin Yue said with a smile: "You have changed quite a bit; you are much more overbearing than you were back in Tianchang City."

"There's no other way. Petty people fear power, not virtue. If you aren't strong and overbearing, others will only think you are easy to bully, and it's impossible for you to patiently preach to others every time you encounter trouble. It's better to just punch them first and talk about other things later. If they can take it, we can talk; if they can't, then that's the end of it," Li Yi said.

"That is indeed reasonable." Lin Yue nodded, also acknowledging Li Yi's point of view.

Now, crises are everywhere on Earth, and cross-dimensional travel is frequent. As an Evolver, how could one have the time and energy to be hypocritical?

"Alright, this trouble is resolved. Let's go settle the score with that person named Xu Lin Jie. This time I won't make a move; Sister Lin, you deal with that guy yourself. Whoever comes to trouble you, I will block them for you."

Li Yi said, simultaneously taking Lin Yue to act immediately.

Soon.

The two arrived at the Evolver residential area and accurately found No. 55 in District E.

At this moment, the cultivation room was tightly shut.

But Li Yi could confirm through perception that there was someone inside.

He waved his hand casually, and a silver lightning bolt struck down from the sky, instantly hitting the cultivation room. Although this cultivation room was relatively sturdy, it couldn't withstand the power of this strike.

!

The cultivation room shattered with a boom.

Afterward, they saw a figure instantly rush out from inside. He was suspicious and uncertain, looking left and right, not knowing what had just happened.

Enemies meeting are especially jealous.

"Xu Lin Jie." Upon seeing this person, Lin Yue was immediately enraged. She leaped down directly from the air, and a battle saber instantly appeared in her hand. The moment she drew the saber, it was as if a gust of wind had drifted past.

This was Lin Yue's Wind-Listening Saber.

Fierce and ruthless.

"Lin Yue, it's you? You actually didn't die." When Xu Lin Jie saw the person who had arrived, he was immediately startled. Afterward, his soul gave a warning, and he felt a fatal danger approaching.

He quickly retreated several steps.

The battle saber slid past, and a bloodstain appeared on Xu Lin Jie's chest. Blood gradually flowed out, but he still narrowly avoided this fatal attack.

"You didn't die, so how could I die?" Lin Yue walked over with large strides, holding the saber. Her aura grew stronger and stronger, like a martial artist, carrying an aura of only advancing and never retreating.

"Killing a student in the Golden Academy is a serious crime, Lin Yue. You had better think clearly." Xu Lin Jie was somewhat panicked; he knew his strength was not equal to Lin Yue's.

Because Lin Yue also cultivates the martial path, her combat power is relatively strong. Although he also cultivates the immortal cultivation method, everyone knows that the immortal cultivation method of the Profound Immortal Continent progresses slowly, and in the early stages, combat power relies entirely on the power of spirit treasures.

Xu Lin Jie cannot afford spirit treasures, so even though he cultivates the three methods of genes, evolution, and immortal cultivation, he still cannot beat Lin Yue.

"This is something I need to worry about; you don't need to trouble yourself," Lin Yue said, and her figure suddenly accelerated, turning into a blur as she killed toward Xu Lin Jie.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Xu Lin Jie did not hesitate at all, turned around, and ran.

This Lin Yue came with the intention of killing him; if they fought head-on, he really might be finished off.

But Xu Lin Jie had not escaped very far.

Suddenly.

Boom!

A silver lightning bolt struck in front of him, blocking his path.

Subsequently, bolts of lightning fell continuously, forming a cage that trapped both him and Lin Yue inside.

Feeling the power of this silver lightning, Xu Lin Jie was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped.

If he were struck by that lightning, he did not doubt for a second that he would be turned into fly ash.

But such a strange phenomenon made Xu Lin Jie immediately notice a man standing on a cloud in mid-air.

Looking again at Lin Yue, who was charging over full of vigor, Xu Lin Jie's face immediately turned ugly: "Good, very good. I didn't expect that you, Lin Yue, actually know such an expert at the Golden Academy. If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have dared to harm you."

He had thought Lin Yue was just an unremarkable evolver with no potential; harming her meant harming her, and there would be no consequences.

But when Li Yi appeared, he understood everything.

However, Lin Yue did not speak; she attacked again, and the Listening Wind Blade in her hand hummed once more.

Xu Lin Jie was also a trapped beast fighting, roaring loudly, stimulating all his potential, wanting to kill Lin Yue before he died.

But his strength was ultimately a notch weaker than Lin Yue's, and with Li Yi watching, Xu Lin Jie was under immense pressure, so after just over ten seconds of fighting, Lin Yue had already achieved victory.

With one strike that the opponent could not avoid, she easily slashed across his neck.

Fresh blood sprayed, and the head fell to the ground.

Only an unwilling soul floated out, attempting to cross realms and flee.
