Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

The sharp energy bursting from the fingertips, perfectly aligned, slashed diagonally down from the top of the broken stake.

With a sudden, muffled thud, not only did the remaining stump break in an instant, but even its roots, which were deeply embedded in the ground, were shattered inch by inch by this finger strike!

shuh...

As the last trace of life completely dissipated, the crimson light suddenly rose and converged layer by layer.

Immediately afterwards, a section of torso bone with fine electric arcs running across its surface slowly rose from the scorched earth.

Finally, it hovered beneath the crimson spirit ring—which then emitted wisps of lightning, flickering like breath.

Lin Quan's gaze sharpened, and he reached out to grasp Lin Quan's hand.

call--

An invisible force swept over, and the fragment of the soul bone landed steadily in his palm.

He flicked his sleeves and put the soul bone into his pouch, then raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on the blood-red soul ring.

Just like the spirit ring that Qiao Jingjing had absorbed before, upon closer inspection, two golden threads were clearly visible coiled around the ring – the unique mark of a spirit ring from a ferocious beast that was over 200,000 years old!

"Protect me!"

Lin Quan shouted in a deep voice, then nodded to Qiao Jingjing and the other person.

Before he finished speaking, he had already flashed back to the original spot of the Thunderous Hell Vine, sat cross-legged, and remained calm and composed.

hum...

With a slight thought, the soul ring responded to the summons, suddenly sinking down and steadily covering Lin Quan's body.

In an instant, a heavy, oppressive feeling, as heavy as a mountain, crashed down, directly attacking the sea of ​​consciousness and the bones and muscles.

But the moment it touched Lin Quan's body, the oppressive aura vanished like snow meeting the scorching sun.

Leaving aside the mysteries of the Longevity Scripture, his years of arduous practice with the Vajra Indestructible Prajna Bell had already forged his physical body to be harder than divine iron and more resilient than dragon tendons.

The impact of a mere 200,000-year-old soul ring is indeed a calamity that would consume an ordinary soul master.

For him, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze, leaving him undisturbed.

Once the cultivation technique was activated, the violent, torrent-like power within the soul ring surged into his meridians like rivers flowing into the sea, where he steadily absorbed and refined it.

Time slips by unnoticed...

In less than an hour, the awe-inspiring 200,000-year soul ring had been completely absorbed into Lin Quan's body, leaving not a trace behind!

hum-

A powerful burst of energy suddenly shot up from his body, causing the surrounding air to buzz.

Suddenly, Lin Quan's aura surged, and he leaped into the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The thunder pool formed by the Thunderous Hell Vine was churning violently where he sat cross-legged—the thunder essence accumulated over thousands of years was now boiling, exploding, and roaring like an angry dragon awakened from its slumber!

Streaks of silvery-white lightning tore through the surface of the liquid, transforming into a raging torrent that surged into Lin Quan's body...

"hiss--"

As Lin Quan gazed at the Thunder Pool, which had accumulated the essence of thunder for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, he saw it being drawn out, refined, and absorbed into his body inch by inch…

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan were both startled, a momentary daze flashing across their eyes.

After a long while, the two of them suddenly gasped, their chests heaving, their faces still showing surprise, but a hint of undisguised joy had quietly surfaced.

As the power of the Thunder Pool continued to pour in, Lin Quan's Grandmaster realm, which he had just stabilized, surged like a spring tide breaking through a dam!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Rolling lightning burst forth from his body, silver arcs darting about, and purple lightning crisscrossing. In just a few dozen breaths, he was completely engulfed by the sky full of lightning.

Boom—!

As time passed, the lightning intensified. Initially, it only enveloped a radius of three feet around the body, but after a few minutes, the lightning swept across the entire lightning pool; a moment later, the violent lightning power swept across a hundred meters away!

The five elements of lightning rotated endlessly, and the yin and yang lightning energies intertwined and collided, exploding into dazzling bursts of electricity...

And his aura was also rapidly transforming under the tempering of lightning and fire—

Grandmaster early stage peak...

Mid-stage Grandmaster...

Late stage of Grandmaster...

Three days passed quietly through my fingers.

Lin Quan's aura actually climbed from the initial stage of Grandmaster to the peak!

That's right, peak Grandmaster!

If placed in the high-martial arts world where Li Hanyi lived, this would already be the peak combat power of the Great Freedom Realm—just one step away from the Half-Step Divine Travel Realm!

As he ascended to the summit, the Thunder Pool, which the Thunderous Hell Vine had cultivated for thousands of years, also rapidly dried up: ninety percent of the thunder essence was absorbed, and the originally turbulent thunder liquid was now only a shallow layer, as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.

"Peak Grandmaster... In Sister Hanyi's world, that's equivalent to a peak Great Freedom expert."

"I never imagined my husband would encounter such a fortunate coincidence..."

"With just a single ferocious beast soul ring, his cultivation level has achieved such an astonishing leap..."

"Right now, apart from Sister Hanyi, who is at the peak of the half-step Divine Realm, I'm afraid only my husband truly stands at the top among us."

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan stood side by side, their gazes fixed on Lin Quan, their hearts churning with turmoil. They exchanged a silent glance, a profound sense of melancholy washing over them.

When the contract was first signed, Lin Quan was merely a mortal, utterly powerless. Had it not been for the Time-Space Mirror suppressing his cultivation, Qiao Jingjing, with her abilities back then, could have obliterated him with a mere thought.

But from the moment he consumed his first crystal core and embarked on the path of cultivation, only a snap of the fingers had passed...

He has transformed from a mortal into a grandmaster who can shake the heavens and the earth!

Swah——

Just as the two were experiencing a surge of emotions, the lightning surging around Lin Quan suddenly receded like the tide, gradually subsiding and falling silent.

One second it was like Thor descending to earth, lightning tearing through the sky, and the pressure as heavy as a prison;

The next instant, the lightning dissipated, the aura vanished, and even the fluctuations of a Grandmaster at the peak disappeared completely.

Swah——

Before the two could react, his figure had already transformed into a faint shadow, suddenly disappearing into the air without a trace.

When he reappeared, he was already standing steadily in front of Qiao Jingjing and another woman, and with his arms outstretched, he gently embraced the two of them.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you..."

Before the words were even finished, the two women exchanged a quick glance, their fingertips simultaneously pinching Lin Quan's waist, both laughing and scolding him:

"Congratulations to my husband on breaking through to the pinnacle and reaching the highest level of Grandmaster!"

"With my husband's current power, he could easily contend with a level 99 Peerless Douluo in this Martial Soul world!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them immediately called it a day.

Lin Quan's gaze swept across the surrounding ruins with lightning speed. With a flick of his sleeve, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's corpse transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the mirror world.

After confirming that nothing was left behind, he took the two women's hands and turned to leave.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Zhuyu and Fu Qingfeng had been waiting eagerly. When they saw Lin Quan and the other two approaching safely, they immediately stepped forward to meet them, and the tension in their hearts quietly eased.

"My lord, shall we return to Heaven Dou City immediately, or are there other plans?"

After taking a short breath and filling his stomach, before Lin Quan could even speak and make a decision—

The four women, including Qiao Jingjing, all turned their attention to him, awaiting his instructions.

Lin Quan raised his eyes and scanned the space in the mirror with his divine sense: it was vast and empty, with most of the area still undeveloped.

He was decisive and straightforward: "The mission is now complete."

"All the required spirit rings have been hunted and refined."

"But now that we've stepped outside, there's still plenty of space in the mirror world..."

"Let's fill it up first."

Once the order was given, everyone set off immediately.
