BTTH : From the beginning of the battle to the top

After watching the little healer leave his sight, Lin Yuan lightly touched the spot where her lips had been, chuckling silently and shaking his head.

"Oh, little healer, what a clever woman you are. I wish you all the best on your journey," Lin Yuan murmured softly, feeling an uncontrollable joy in his heart.

"Hmm? Forget about cutting off thoughts... sometimes it's nice to feel this way."

Noticing that his mind was somewhat out of control, Lin Yuan instinctively prepared to use the first technique of the soul secret method he had created during this time, the "Purifying Spirit Technique," to eliminate this 'distraction.' However, thinking of the little healer's gaze as she left, he stopped the technique.

The "Purifying Spirit Technique" was Lin Yuan's greatest research achievement over the past two months, consisting of two techniques: the first, "Cutting Thoughts," allows one to perceive abnormal states of their mind and eliminate distractions, keeping oneself in a clear state, making it a powerful tool against illusions and tricks; the second, "Empty Clarity," purifies the mind, allowing the practitioner to enter a state of complete focus on a single goal, discarding all useless thoughts and maximizing their mental capacity, thus fully unleashing their strength.

The "Cutting Thoughts" technique was already quite refined, but "Empty Clarity" still had significant room for improvement. Even Lin Yuan, the creator, could only maintain the state of "Empty Clarity" for a short time, as it consumed a lot of mental energy and could only be used at critical moments.

However, even if Lin Yuan entered the state of "Empty Clarity," he had no way to deal with the remnants of the demon fire; the gap between him and top-tier powerhouses was still too vast.

In Lin Yuan's deductions, there was still much room for improvement in the "Purifying Spirit Technique." He had many ideas, but unfortunately, his current soul realm and soul power were insufficient, so he could only wait for his soul power to increase before continuing with further refinements and deductions.

After a while, Lin Yuan calmed his mind and turned to look at Qing Lin, who seemed a bit dazed, likely shocked by the little healer's bold actions.

"Qing'er, snap out of it. Your sister, the little healer, has already gone far. Go complete the daily study tasks she assigned you; I will test you later," Lin Yuan said, waving his hand in front of Qing Lin's face, his tone becoming more cheerful towards the end.

"Ah, okay, Young Master, I will go complete my daily study tasks now," Qing Lin replied, coming back to her senses. Upon hearing Lin Yuan mention the word 'test,' her expression turned slightly bitter.

Then, Qing Lin returned to the wooden house, furrowing her brows as she took out a book and began her studies for the day. Besides practicing, she dedicated two hours each day to learning some cultural knowledge.

Seeing Qing Lin start studying, Lin Yuan smiled knowingly, glancing at the sky.

"It's time to make some preparations. I should refine some Blood Spirit Pills and aim to cultivate the Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique to perfection in the next few days."

Ten days later.

On a piece of green stone in the valley, Lin Yuan was sitting cross-legged, beneath him was a beautifully crafted green lotus platform, radiating a powerful aura of vitality. The green and blood-red lights intertwined, and he was forming the final seal of the Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique.

Over the past ten days, Lin Yuan had refined a large amount of demon beast blood, finally pushing the cultivation of the Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique to its final step.

At this moment, endless vitality surged within him, rushing and compressing towards the blood furnace containing his life blood pill.

"Furnace shatter, blood pill emerge!"

With a light shout, the blood furnace exploded, transforming into an extremely pure purple-red energy that seamlessly merged into the life blood pill. The blood pill immediately shone brightly, devouring the surrounding immense vitality like a black hole, and finally coalescing into a crystal-clear light red blood pill, with purple hues swirling within, forming a vague dragon-shaped spiritual light.

At this moment, the life blood pill was finally fully refined. Lin Yuan's long-term cultivation and countless resources spent on the Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique had finally paid off.

As the blood pill took shape, a subtle wave radiated outward from Lin Yuan, causing the five demon beasts guarding Qing Lin to tremble and prostrate themselves upon sensing this wave.

Lin Yuan looked inward, and the life blood pill seemed to have merged with his own vitality, becoming one. The vitality absorbed, tempered, and released by the blood pill grew stronger, while the powerful vitality nourished the blood pill, allowing it to evolve alongside the enhancement of his body and vitality.

Lin Yuan stood up, stretching his arms, and his bones crackled like a fierce beast awakening, producing a series of crisp sounds, accompanied by a low rumble. His body was filled with a powerful sense of strength, and feeling his current power, Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Except for a few special bloodline demon beasts, my current body and vitality can surpass most fifth-tier demon beasts. Moreover, as the life blood pill continues to refine my vitality, my body is becoming even stronger."

"The Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique has consumed so much time and resources, and it has indeed lived up to my expectations. This level of physical strength is enough to support me in simultaneously using the Blood God Transformation and the secret technique given to me by the Grand Elder. This way, my combat power will see a significant increase in a short time, and I can start to take action on some matters."

With the Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique finally perfected, Lin Yuan felt extremely elated. Suddenly, a vague inspiration slipped through his mind, causing a slight tremor in his heart.

"Has it finally come? The opportunity to break through to the Eight-Star Dou Wang has been awaited for so long."

Lin Yuan directly entered the state of "Empty Clarity," capturing this fleeting inspiration. Following this inspiration, he took out the green lotus platform, sat cross-legged, and formed the seals for cultivation. The rich energy in the valley slowly began to converge towards him, and the nearly saturated flesh within him greedily absorbed the energy, making his meridians more resilient, and his aura began to rise slowly and steadily.

The energy fluctuations continued for a day, and when the last trace of energy was infused into Lin Yuan's body, the valley fell silent.

Before long, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air. A glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes as he stood up, his body straight as a spear, and a sharp aura swept out.

"Eight-Star Dou Wang, achieved."

Lin Yuan raised his hand, squeezing it in front of him, feeling his powerful body and abundant Dou Qi, a sense of fulfillment growing in his heart. He clenched his right fist, gathering strength, and punched out in one motion, the strong punch creating a massive void in the dense mist in the distance.

Lin Yuan looked at the void with satisfaction, a smile spreading across his face. "This feeling of power is truly reassuring."

Then, Lin Yuan took out the Dou Ling Pill he had refined earlier. After thinking for a moment, he put it back into his storage ring. "Now that I have broken through to Eight-Star Dou Wang, it's not suitable to use the Dou Ling Pill immediately after a breakthrough. I should consolidate my strength for a while before using it."

"I have finished what I needed to do here. The person I have been waiting for should be arriving soon; it's time to go out."

"I should check on Qing'er's recent progress in her training and see how she has completed her study tasks." With this thought, a subtle and joyful smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face as he walked towards Qing Lin.

At the same time, a long line of people passed through the Ghost Town Pass under the respectful gazes of many soldiers, entering the Gama Empire. It was the enrollment team from the Canaan Academy, and this year's enrollment activities for Canaan Academy in the Gama Empire had begun.
