I loaded the innate divine power.

Time flows on.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The days of cultivation were filled with tedium.

However, for Shen Yi, although the days were monotonous, they were not boring.

His daily progress in martial arts was visible to the naked eye.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, adorned with countless stars.

At Sacred Flame Peak, in the secluded mountain and water villa, a chilling atmosphere permeated the entire quiet room.

Its overwhelming power compressed the very air.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged, and strands of the power of the moon's essence flowed into his body.

Within his dantian, the silver Taiyin Fire Seed exuded a chilling aura.

The internal organs and meridians were permeated with an extremely cold and chilling power.

"Buzz—!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and in an instant, Shen Yi's aura surged.

"Click click click!!!"

The muscles and bones throughout his body emitted a series of sounds, and his bone marrow underwent a transformation.

His bones were covered with a faint jade-colored glow, as if an additional protective film had been added.

The meridians throughout the body expand, and the Qi and blood surge in an instant, flushing out the internal organs.

The blood flowed, making a rushing sound like a turbulent river.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

My heart was pounding like thunder, as if a drum was beating, and the surrounding air was rippled.

As his internal energy surged, it more than doubled with each breath.

Mysterious Yin Condensation Meridian Technique (Level 8): [3/25600]

Crimson Flame Palm (Level 5): [232/7200]

Ghostly Shadow Step (Level 4): [3549/4800]

Killing Demon Blade Slash (Level 3): [385/4000]

"With my current strength, I don't need to worry about the Marrow Cleansing Realm. I just hope I don't run into anyone at the Core Formation level during the trial, otherwise... that would be tough."

Looking at the panel, Shen Yi thought to himself.

In half a month, the Crimson Flame Palm technique broke through to the fifth level, and the power of this superior palm technique increased dramatically.

Although he hasn't reached the fifth level yet with the Netherworld Shadow Step, he has made considerable progress.

Next is the Killing Demon Blade Slash!

They broke through to the third level.

The Demon Blade is near completion!

In his mind, the Demon Blade's will grew even stronger, radiating terrifying killing intent.

However, his mental strength was enough to suppress the Demon Blade's will, and he was not affected by the Demon Blade's will.

The third-level Killing Demon Blade, combined with the Tiger Soul Spirit Weapon, can unleash a ten-zhang-long blade aura.

A blade of energy spanning over thirty meters.

Even with his powerful internal energy, he could only manage a maximum of ten strikes.

A single, decisive strike can extract one-tenth of an individual's internal energy.

If it were any other martial artist at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, their internal energy would probably be drained in just two or three strikes.

This demonic sword technique is incredibly powerful, but it also requires a high level of internal strength.

It requires too much internal energy.

With a mid-stage Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivation level and a minor mastery of the Demon Blade Realm, a single strike can drain all internal energy.

When Shen Yi chose this Killing Demon Blade, he was drawn to its power.

The greatest advantage of the Xuan Yin Condensing Meridian Technique is its powerful internal energy.

A single, devastating strike!

He felt that even if someone at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm could withstand it, they would be half-dead.

As for whether he can kill someone with a single strike, only after exchanging blows will he know; he can only give a rough estimate.

The true power of martial arts lies in actual combat.

Only in actual combat can its full power be unleashed.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a second disciple on the entire Sacred Flame Peak.

There used to be a Leibo, but he's completely gone now.

"We need to take action tomorrow; the timing for a breakthrough would be just right."

Shen Yi's eyes flashed.

This morning, Bai Suzhen conveyed the order: action to be taken tomorrow.

He is still unaware of the specifics of the test.

The answer will only be revealed tomorrow!

"As long as it's not at the Dan Jin level, then it's practically a sure thing!"

Shen Yi's eyes were full of confidence.

With his inner strength restored, he was absolutely confident.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I should get some rest and stay in top condition."

Standing up, Shen Yi immediately stepped out of the quiet room.

Looking up at the enormous moon in the sky, Shen Yi took a deep breath.

"Young master, the midnight snack is ready. Would you like some?"

Xiaoqing stood to the side and asked Shen Yi a question.

"I'm a little hungry, let's take it to the backyard," Shen Yi said.

"Yes, young master." Xiaoqing nodded and then turned and left.

Shen Yi strode towards the backyard.

After enjoying a delicious late-night snack, I took a hot bath with Xiaoqing's help, which made my whole body feel much more relaxed.

Having relieved his fatigue, Shen Yi went back to his room to rest.

……

The sun is rising.

As the first rays of dawn illuminated Sacred Flame Peak, Shen Yi, dressed in a black outfit, was having breakfast in the backyard.

"Young Master, Jiang Shengzi has arrived."

Xiaoqing entered the backyard, bowed to Shen Yi, and said...

"Um?"

"So fast?"

Shen Yi glanced at Xiao Qing in surprise, then picked up the porridge and finished it in one gulp. He then stood up and asked, "Where is she?"

"In the lobby," Xiaoqing replied.

Shen Yi nodded slightly, then strode towards the hall.

Mountain and Water Villa, main hall.

Upon entering the hall, Shen Yi saw Jiang Ling dressed in a light blue outfit.

Shen Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "I was unaware of Senior Sister Jiang's arrival. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

Looking at Shen Yi, Jiang Ling smiled slightly: "It's alright, I don't have that many formalities."

As she spoke, Jiang Ling glanced at Shen Yi.

"Um!?"

"This aura!"

"Late stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!?"

Sensing the faint fluctuations emanating from Shen Yi, Jiang Ling's pupils involuntarily contracted.

Late stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

In just half a month, he jumped to a new level.

With such a powerful aura, she even felt that Shen Yi's internal strength was comparable to that of a perfected Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator.

"This guy is a monster..."

Jiang Ling's eyelids twitched.

Such a terrifying improvement and progress in just half a month is simply astonishing.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough in cultivation, Junior Brother Shen." Jiang Ling stood up, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and smiled as she spoke.

"You've made some progress, Senior Sister, you flatter me." Shen Yi smiled.

Slight progress.

"..."

Jiang Ling looked at him, and her heart skipped a beat.
