Chapter 242: System Rewards

Right now, as Lin Yang's fighting spirit soared high and his righteousness was as lofty as the clouds.

In his mind, the system's notification sounded again.

【The host's answer and what he thought made me very happy; thus, the system rewards the host with his three disciples each advancing one major realm.】

This sudden reward surprised Lin Yang a little.

Hearing this, Lin Yang was startled and blurted out, "Is that even possible?"

His eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment.

In his understanding, raising one's realm is never easy; it requires long cultivation and opportunity.

Countless cultivators exhaust their lifeblood on the arduous path of cultivation, just to break through that bottleneck and reach a higher realm.

Now, the system can actually directly help disciples raise their realms, which is truly beyond imagination.

The system felt a little proud and said matter-of-factly.

【What's wrong with that?】

That tone was relaxed, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Just as simple as casually plucking a leaf.

Lin Yang's lips curled up as he showed a relieved smile: "Alright, the stronger my disciples, the better."

Immediately, his gaze deepened and steadied as he looked into the distance.

He knew well that in the impending storm, his disciples would also be an important force.

Their growth concerns not only their own fates but also the future of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Even the safety of the entire Mysterious Yellow Continent.

In this ever-changing world, only the strong can stand firm and protect what they cherish.

……………………

Meanwhile, at the temporary annex of the Azure Cloud Sect in Cloud City.

Inside a room decorated in an antique style, incense swirled and the fragrance was rich.

Those curling wisps of blue smoke, under the candlelight's glow, danced like lively spirits in the air.

Li Yilan wore a plain white garment; beneath it, her graceful figure's curves were fully revealed.

Her perfect proportions outlined a sleek, exquisitely carved silhouette, delivering a striking visual impact.

Even though the garment was thin, it could not hide the fullness of her upright posture, as if it contained endless vitality.

At this moment, Ye Xiaodie, who had just finished bathing, was slowly pulling up her pink gauze thin garment from her waist.

Gently covering her fragrant shoulders.

Her fair shoulders, in the candlelight, glowed with a moist sheen, so delicate they seemed breakable by a breath, like fine sheep-fat jade.

In just a moment, Ye Xiaodie was fully dressed.

She slowly turned around; compared to the slender Li Yilan beside her, Ye Xiaodie's figure was more proportioned and fuller.

The two displayed their distinct bodily beauties to the fullest, each with its own merits.

Ye Xiaodie noticed Li Yilan sitting blankly at the table, her eyes empty, as if her thoughts had drifted to a faraway place.

After all, the senior sister would never usually be like this.

She couldn't help but ask, "Senior sister, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Xiaodie's voice was clear and pleasant, like a mountain spring flowing.

Li Yilan was brought back to reality by Ye Xiaodie's voice and said softly, "I'm thinking about tomorrow's Azure Prefecture Grand Competition."

Her tone carried a hint of gravity, as if the impending competition were an insurmountable mountain.

Ye Xiaodie's pretty brows slightly furrowed, then she walked over and sat opposite Li Yilan.

She picked up the teapot on the table and filled a cup for Li Yilan with Heavenly Dao Tea.

The tea poured in, steam rose, and the aroma spread.

She then asked, "Senior sister, are you worried about Wang Shuang of the Fist Sect, Zuo Xinghe of the Great River Sect, and Song Shan of the Ask-Heaven Sect?"

Li Yilan gave a slight nod.

Then she said slowly, "Wang Shuang of the Fist Sect is a top-tier genius of Azure Prefecture, famous from an early age."

"She also mastered the Fist Sect's Three Mountains Five Peaks Fist early on; her talent is outstanding, and challenging higher ranks is no difficulty for her."

"That Three Mountains Five Peaks Fist gathers the essence of the Fist Sect's thousand-year inheritance; every move and style contains the immense power of mountains."

"Moreover, Zuo Xinghe of the Great River Sect is said to be a son nurtured by the sect's Holy River; from birth, his body has contained the Holy River's spiritual energy."

"At three years old, he could already communicate with the Great River Sect's Holy River; now eighteen, no one knows how terrifying the fusion between him and that river has become."

"Perhaps he can already control the Holy River's waters, overturning rivers and seas, with boundless power."

Ye Xiaodie nodded solemnly after hearing.

She did not immediately respond, but quietly listened to her senior sister's analysis, her expression focused and earnest.

Li Yilan continued, "Furthermore, Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe are already monstrous enough, but Song Shan of the Ask-Heaven Sect is truly the most dreadful."

"The Ask-Heaven Sect has five heavenly gates; behind each gate lie different means: a Slaughter Gate, a Law Gate, a Space Gate, a Monster Gate, and a Yin Soldier Gate."

"It is said that Song Shan could open two heavenly gates within three years; now another three years have passed, and he may be able to open three."

"Furthermore, Song Shan was taken to the Central State Heaven Sword Sect for secluded cultivation at thirteen; his foundation and strength are absolutely unfathomable."

"As far as I know, these three top geniuses have all reached the Spirit Sea Realm."

"In the Spirit Sea Realm, they can mobilize far greater spiritual power from heaven and earth, and the spells they cast are even more terrifying."

Upon hearing Li Yilan's such detailed analysis.

Ye Xiaodie also couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, saying, "Senior sister, looking at it this way, those three geniuses are indeed not to be underestimated."

Her heart also couldn't help but rise with a hint of worry; facing such powerful opponents, can they really stand out in the Azure Prefecture Grand Competition?

Li Yilan nodded again, then said, "Yeah, we may have the strength to fight above our level, but our realm is only the God Transformation Realm, so we ultimately fall short compared to those three."

If we can break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, we would have nothing to fear from them.

In the Spirit Sea Realm, our spiritual power will undergo a qualitative change, allowing us to better command the power of heaven and earth and compete with them.

Ye Xiaozhi agreed and echoed.

Indeed, they too have the ability to challenge above their level.

But the opponent is also a genius, also capable of fighting above their level, so this grand match will inevitably be a fierce battle.

Each battle could decide their fate, even the future of the Azure Cloud Sect, and whether they can fulfill their master's demand.

Li Yilan lifted the Heavenly Dao tea, took a sip, her eyes full of resolve, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover with earth. We are our master's disciples, naturally we won't be stumped by present difficulties; the plan stays the same—we'll continue to secure seventh and eighth places, fighting for first and second."

Her words were full of confidence and determination, as if any difficulty before her would be overcome.

Ye Xiaozhi also took a sip of the Heavenly Dao tea, speaking firmly: "Hehe, senior sister, you and I think exactly alike."

Her face lit up with a brilliant smile, that smile like spring sunshine, warm and full of hope.

The two exchanged a smile, and Li Yilan said, "Alright, it's getting late; tomorrow we'll give it our all."

She stood up, tidied her clothes, and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

But more so was her anticipation for tomorrow.

Ye Xiaozhi nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow we'll give it our all."

Immediately, she added with a hint of expectation, "Senior sister, can I still sleep with you tonight?"
