Chapter 60: Advancing to the Mysterious Tier

In a high-end club, Shui Cloud Sea was holding a stack of documents and reading them. On the sofa next to him sat a young man.

"Ahao, is this the information you found regarding that Luo Yexi? But this looks far too plain; she is just an ordinary orphan," Shui Cloud Sea said, frowning.

"I say, Brother Hai, are you still worried about how I handle things?" The man called Ahao grabbed a bunch of grapes from the table in a carefree manner and tossed them into his mouth one by one. "This little girl doesn't have anything special about her, though she is quite famous in the Music Academy at Huaxia University. It is said she has even exchanged musical skills with your precious younger sister several times."

"Is that so? But why would my little sister be in such a rush to see this Luo Yexi?" Gazing at the person in the photo, Shui Cloud Sea could not help but fall into deep thought.

"Hey, hey, Brother Hai, what are you spacing out for?" Seeing Shui Cloud Sea fall silent, Ahao asked with some confusion.

However, when he saw Shui Cloud Sea's gaze fixed directly on that photo, a smile that all men understood appeared on his face: "Oh my, our young master of the Shui Family has had his heart stirred!"

Shui Cloud Sea was startled awake by Ahao's voice, but he did not hear clearly what Ahao had just said. When he looked up, he found Ahao looking at him with a look that was half-smile, half-tease, which made him feel a bit uneasy.

"Why are you looking at me with that strange gaze, Ahao?" Shui Cloud Sea asked with some confusion.

"Brother Hai, I never thought there would come a day when you would be moved. But then again, such a beautiful girl, and she even has the demeanor of a classic young lady of a noble family. Not long after entering Huaxia University, she became a famous department beauty, and she also has astonishing musical skills. It's no wonder our Brother Hai would be moved!" Ahao said with a grin, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"You, when did I say I was moved?" Shui Cloud Sea asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't worry, such a beautiful girl, who wouldn't be moved?" Ahao patted Shui Cloud Sea on the shoulder. "Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that in the shortest time possible, I will find out all of this girl's interests and hobbies, as well as all your future rivals! You just need to let me have a drink at your wedding in the future!"

After saying this, Ahao walked quickly out of the private room, leaving behind a Shui Cloud Sea who didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at the photo in his hand, Shui Cloud Sea could not help but sigh. He hoped that guy Ahao wouldn't make it known to the whole city.

In the Cloud Realm, Lingyun sat cross-legged. The power of the Cloud Realm swirled around him continuously, healing the injuries in his body bit by bit. After a long while, Lingyun opened his eyes and let out a long breath, a flash of brilliance flickering through his eyes before vanishing.

"Great, Brother, your injuries have finally healed," Ruoxi said, looking happy as she retracted the World Origin in her hand, which had shrunk to the size of a thumb.

"Mm, it really has been hard on you during this time," Lingyun nodded at Ruoxi.

"Hm?" Lingyun suddenly frowned. The Source Power within his body suddenly began to riot, something that had been impossible before. "Could it be that I am about to break through?"

"Whoosh," a gust of wind spread outward from Lingyun as the center, and at the same time, the power in the Cloud Realm began to gather toward him continuously.

"Is Brother going to break through?" Ruoxi felt a surge of joy in her heart, then directly mobilized the power of the Cloud Realm, causing the concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here to surge, facilitating Lingyun's breakthrough.

As the power in the Cloud Realm was continuously absorbed into his body, Lingyun began to compress his own power. At the same time, mysterious patterns appeared in the Void, merging bit by bit into Lingyun's body. Simultaneously, meridians that had not yet been opened were cleared by the powerful force, and streams of power began to gather toward his Dantian and heart.

"Break for me!" Lingyun gave a low shout in his heart. Driven by his Divine Sense, the Source Power surging through his meridians slammed fiercely against the barrier at his Dantian.

A muffled "Boom" sounded from within Lingyun's body. Lingyun's body trembled, and the barrier at his Dantian was instantly shattered into fragments. Source Power poured into the Dantian continuously. The dim Dantian Universe began to glow with vitality once more under the nourishment of the Source Power.

"The second place, break for me!" After breaking the Dantian barrier in one go and activating the dormant Dantian Universe, Lingyun turned his focus to his heart, his entire body's Source Power surging and pouring into the location of the Heart Realm. With a "Hum," a mysterious vibration emanated from Lingyun's chest, and new vitality began to appear in the dilapidated Heart Realm.

Having reactivated the Heart Realm and the Dantian Universe, Lingyun exhaled a breath of stale air. The aura on his body climbed step by step; although he had only just entered the Mysterious Tier, the depth of his power was enough to rival the Mysterious Tier Late Stage.

Upon breaking through to the Mysterious Tier, the Divine Sense Lingyun could utilize also received a huge boost, and his original detection range increased from over a hundred meters to over two hundred meters in one go. Now, if he were to fight with all his might without using his trump cards, he would be capable of battling an ordinary Earth Tier Initial Stage.

After breaking through to the Mysterious Tier, Lingyun left the Cloud Realm. During this time, Ruoxi had been helping him heal his injuries and had not had much time to analyze the world laws of High School of the Dead. Now that Lingyun's injuries were healed, she couldn't wait to get to work on that.

Just as Lingyun emerged from the Cloud Realm, he saw Luo Yexi walking toward him, holding a stack of sheet music in her hand.

Sensing the aura on Lingyun that had not yet been fully retracted, Luo Yexi asked with some surprise: "Master, you... have you broken through?"

"Mm, just a small breakthrough," Lingyun nodded. The aura on his body began to retract continuously, until finally, it became no different from that of an ordinary person.

"Ye Xi, the welcome party is tonight. How are your preparations coming along?" Lingyun asked.

"Don't worry, Master, I am ready," Luo Yexi shook the sheet music in her hand. "Master, will you come to watch my performance then?"

"Of course. This is my disciple's first time performing on stage; if I didn't go, wouldn't that be a bit impolite?" Lingyun smiled.

"Big Brother, I want to go too, I want to go too!" Alice didn't know when she had run to Lingyun's side, looking at him with her watery eyes.

"Alright, I'll take you then," Lingyun smiled and patted Alice's head, then turned his gaze toward Busujima Saeko on the side. "Saeko, are you going?"

"Since it's Ye Xi's first performance, and you are all going, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I didn't go?" Busujima Saeko replied.

"Good, anyway, Huaxia University doesn't forbid outsiders from entering. I'll take you all with me then," Lingyun nodded.
