Ling Lan didn't know how far away she was from the step her master mentioned. After all, she just entered the imperial realm not long ago and had just begun compressing her concept. She just hoped that the Heart of Imperial would allow her to achieve half step into G.o.d-realm. That way, she would have the confidence to fight with the 13 Lords.

During this period of time, she had been a.n.a.lysing her Profound Insight. Number One told her that Profound Insight was the most powerful innate talent in the universe. Ling Lan had always thought that its strength could only be utilized in mecha piloting. Now, she finally understood what Number One really meant. The power of Profound Insight she was able to control was heaven-defying enough. If she could completely grasp Profound Insight, the s.p.a.ce domain that everyone was fearful of was not even worth mentioning.

This was the reason why Ling Lan had the confidence to fight with two most powerful lords out of the 13 Lords, Lord Kun and Lord Qian.

The concept in Ling Lan's body being compressed stably. Just like that, she continued repeating the same procedure over and over again. Ling Lan didn't know how many days had pa.s.sed or how long she had cultivated. She always thought that she would only end her cultivation when the energy in the Heart of Imperial was finished or someone disturbed her. But, unexpectedly, the Heart Of Imperial, which had been giving off energy steadily, suddenly exploded. She was caught off her guard.

Every imperial realm formidable warrior had a motive for creating their Heart of Imperial before they died. Some wanted to give their descendants a shortcut to grow stronger while others had some hidden secrets. If it was the former, there was nothing wrong with using it as long as you were careful enough. The latter was worse as it was impossible to guard against it.

It seemed like Ling Lan's luck was bad. This Heart Of Imperial wasn't the former. It was the latter. Also, it was the most irritating kind, the kind of Heart Of Imperial that had revenge in mind.

Normally, this kind of Heart Of Imperial would give off some dark aura. Yet, this Heart Of Imperial, whether it was from the appearance or its aura, didn't give off any kind of weird feeling. That was why Ling Lan neglected this point.

We could only say that some things were not written entirely in books. The Heart of Imperial was already very rare. Even if the military had done some research on it, they wouldn't be able to completely understand it. There would definitely be some omissions of details and information they couldn't find out.

As luck would have it, Ling Lan chose to believe the research and compared the Heart Of Imperial with it. She thought that the Heart of Imperial was the first kind so she used it boldly. If she knew that it was the second kind… fine, Ling Lan would still use it. However, she would be more careful and remain vigilant.

However, it was too late now. The energy of the Heart Of Imperial escaped the control of her spiritual power and started entering Ling Lan's body furiously.

“Pfft~” Ling Lan's body couldn't handle the impact of such huge concept energy. Blood spurted out of her mouth.

Different concept energy started tearing her body apart. A vicious look flashed past her eyes. “Double Limit Release!”

The snowflake symbol appeared on her forehead. Then, it turned black as it swiftly spreaded through her entire forehead. She looked devilish. At the same time, her hair grew longer and turned silver instantly.

“Suppress it!” The double imperial realm domain concept suppressed the messy and violent concept energy in her body simultaneously. At the same time, Ling Lan repeatedly compressed the violent concept energy. She had no time to care about the different concept energies anymore. She knew that this would cause implications to her advancements of physical skills in the future but now, she just wanted to stay alive. Hence, she completely disregarded the risk involved in doing so.

The two energies collided and got suppressed in her body, increasing the damage caused to her body.

Ling Lan quickly downed a bottle of the second generation Nuwa agent. The Nuwa agent quickly nourished Ling Lan's body.

Just like that, when the concept energy hurt Ling Lan's body until she couldn't bear with it anymore, she would drink a bottle of the Nuwa agent. The process repeated again and again. She compressed the concept energies continuously. Finally, Ling Lan drank her last bottle of Nuwa agent. Yet, the collision in her body didn't stop. Seeing this, Ling Lan's heart turned cold. Was she going to announce her failure here today?

The effect of the last bottle of agent was diminis.h.i.+ng and the pain got stronger. Blood kept flowing down the side of her lips.

Ever since she came into this world, she had been vomiting blood all the time. But, she never died from it. It seemed quite funny.

In the face of life-or-death, this was actually the thought that appeared in Ling Lan's mind.

“That's really quite funny. However, since I can't die from vomiting blood, I will not die here.” Ling Lan opened her mouth and scolded angrily, “F**k! You want to play hard? I will not play with you anymore!

“I want to live. Let's see who will survive to the end.” Ling Lan smiled. Since her body couldn't handle it, she wouldn't use her body.

Ling Lan decisively moved the violent energy to her mindscape, which caused a severe headache. Fortunately, Ling Lan's spiritual power was strong enough so she didn't lose her consciousness because of the excruciating pain.

“If you want to charge, let me give you an opportunity. Go ahead.” Ling Lan guided the huge energy towards the learning s.p.a.ce.

“Ah~!” Ling Lan screamed into the air. Her silver hair flew in the wind. Any normal human being wouldn't be able to handle the extreme pain caused by the impact. Veins started popping out on Ling Lan's forehead. Her expression was crazy but determined. The epitome of ‘To win, or die trying'.

Number One, who was nouris.h.i.+ng Little Four and the other instructors, suddenly looked up. For the first time, astonishment appeared on his cold and expressionless face.

The next second, he came to the great hall of the learning s.p.a.ce. He raised his hand and pushed it forcefully in the direction of the entrance.

“Boom!” The combination of the force outside and inside finally shattered the enclosed pa.s.sageway.

“Huh?” Number One sensed that the concept energy didn't belong to Ling Lan so he frowned slightly. The next second, invisible barriers appeared and protected some of the doors.

Number One ignored the other doors.

He heard many cursing and swearing in the background. “F**k!” “What the h.e.l.l is this?” “What sneak attacked me?” “d.a.m.n it, come out and I'll hit you.” The next moment, the other eight instructors appeared in a haggard state in the great hall.

Number One looked calmly at the pa.s.sage. His lips seemed to be tilted at a certain angle. “It's a little stupid and reckless but fortunately, the pa.s.sage is opened.”

Then, he disappeared on the spot.

“Erm… did Number One just smile just now?” Number Three was flabbergasted.

“He didn't. You must have mistaken,” Number Six, Number Seven, and Number Eight replied simultaneously.

Number Nine quickly retracted her astounded expression and resumed her cold expression.

Number Five glanced at Number Nine with a smile. He moved his mouth without a sound. “Your brother is really funny.”

Number Nine rolled her eyes at Number Five. She wouldn't admit that her brother, the ice mountain that never had expressions on his face, would smile. She would never admit it.

Number Four touched her chin thoughtfully.'This is fun. I never expect the ice mountain to look even more handsome when there are expressions on his face. I really like him.'
