Chapter 186 Eye of the Storm

Eye of the storm!

As Lin Xun walked out of the secret chamber, that name continued to hover in his mind.

It was the answer that Xu Sanqi gave him after around an hour of thorough examination.

Lin Xun still remembered the undisguisable puzzlement on Xu Sanqis face when he told him the name. Clearly, Xu Sanqi also wasnt entirely sure whether it was correct.

In truth, Lin Xun already had the answer in his mind. He was certain that although the aeth power reservoir he formed was similar to the Eye of the Storm, a legendary first-grade aeth power reservoir, it was completely different!

This was because when he practiced the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture, his aeth power reservoir not only produced a terrifying whirling force but the new aeth power vortex that spanned across his four heart meridians also generated a whirling force.

The two completely different vortexes, one above the other, one clockwise and one counterclockwise, produced a unique and mysterious change.

The spirit dipper power in his body would be continuously tempered between the two vortexes similar to grains being crushed between two grindstones. The tempering power was simply earthshaking and terrifying!

The mysterious effect would not only allow Lin Xun to absorb greater power during cultivation but also cultivate the purest spirit dipper qi.

This was the greatest change brought to Lin Xun after he broke through to the human dipper stage and formed an aeth power reservoir.

However, he didnt mention this change to Xu Sanqi when the man examined him because it concerned the secret of the Origin Aeth Artery that had been taken away from him. He couldnt possibly let other people know about it.

The sunset clouds glowed like fire; it was late in the evening.

After walking out of the secret chamber, Lin Xun headed directly towards the 39th Campground.

He had just broken through to the human dipper stage and his body had undergone earthshaking changes. He had to quickly accustom himself to his new power.

The human dipper stage was the first realm of the Spirit Dipper Stage. Once a cultivator reached this realm, it was equivalent to setting foot onto the Dao and becoming completely different from True Martial cultivators.

If Lin Xun didnt quickly familiarize himself with the new realm and power, it could affect his future cultivation.

After Lin Xun left, Xu Sanqi sat alone in the secret chamber for a long while.

In the end, he took out a book made from special rune materials and turned to the last page, which was completely blank.

Chi!

He carved a line of words on the page using his fingertip like a sharp blade. Lin Xun, fourteen years old, first grade aeth power reservoirEye of the Storm.

After writing, Xu Sanqi frowned and he seemed a little dissatisfied. He couldnt help but sigh and cast his mind back to when he examined Lin Xun.

At the time, he carefully investigated Lin Xun with his spirit sense and he detected a unique storm vortex aeth power reservoir in Lin Xuns sea of qi.

However, just when Xu Sanqi was about to closer investigate the aeth power reservoir, his heart inexplicably throbbed as though he feared a mysterious power in the depths of the aeth power reservoir.

This terrified Xu Sanqi. He hesitated and finally gave up the plan to investigate further.

He knew that this was a secret of Lin Xun, and even if the secret might be related to the chaos in the Dipper Transformation Lake, he shouldnt continue the investigation.

The matter had already happened and couldnt be changed. Even if he proved that the chaos was related to Lin Xun, so what?

Lin Xun was certain that his aeth power reservoir wasnt the Eye of the Storm, so how would Xu Sanqi not know?

However

Xu Sanqi didnt intend to expose him. Lin Xun had already shown too many special abilities. His mastery in the art of runes was already enough to shock the world. The fact that he possessed a mysterious aeth power reservoir could be a disaster for him!

Xu Sanqi knew very well that once the influential figures of the empire noticed Lin Xun, Lin Xuns fate would be out of his own control!

Xu Sanqi still had a headache because even if Lin Xuns aeth power reservoir was the Eye of the Storm, it would still attract many peoples attention.

This was because the Eye of the Storm was also a very rare first-grade aeth power reservoir and it hadnt appeared for almost hundreds of years.

That kid is really abnormal. Everyone wants to have outstanding abilities to make themselves more outstanding, but that kid is full of outstanding abilities yet I have to rack my brain to help him hide them. Who has ever seen someone like him in the world?

Xu Sanqi smiled wryly, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it. Then, he put away the book, got up, and left the secret chamber.

The book was very important as it recorded the final assessment results of the top thirty students. It wouldnt be long before it reached the hands of the true top influential figures in the Forbidden City.

No matter how reluctant Xu Sanqi was, he had to fairly deal with the matter because it was the will of the empire and the will of Blood Kill Camp. He couldn't defy it!

However, Xu Sanqi only wrote a brief and concise evaluation for Lin Xun. He didnt put any other description except from the Eye of the Storm aeth power reservoir.

Xu Sanqi just hoped that Lin Xun would understand his efforts when he grew up. He did that to help cultivate true talents for the empire!

Outside the 39th Campground.

Lin Xun noticed a graceful and beautiful figure in white waiting for him.

Bai Lingxi!

The stunningly beautiful maiden was only fourteen years old, but she had already shown unrivaled magnificence.

She was blessed by heaven and was destined to be as dazzling as the sun and receive countless attention in the empire.

Although she was just a student of Blood Kill Camp, her wisdom, beauty, strength and talent had far surpassed everyone elses. Many students willingly admitted that they were inferior to her.

The setting sun cast a golden glow on the clouds like fire and bathed Bai Lingxi with a sacred and ethereal glow.

The wind blew gently, ruffling the maidens jet-black hair. Her fair and beautiful face was as delicately beautiful and tranquil as always and her eyes were as bright as stars. She resembled a fairy from a painting and didnt seem to belong to the mortal world.

The blood-red setting sun.

The maiden in white.

The shimmering golden desert.

They combined to create a delightfully peaceful scene.

Lin Xun was mesmerized for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered that he had accepted Bai Lingxis challenge before his breakthrough in the Dipper Transformation Lake.

What grade is it?

Bai Lingxi asked directly as she turned around and fixed her bright eyes on Lin Xun. She had been waiting there to know the result.

First-grade, said Lin Xun after a thought.

Bai Lingxi was silent for a moment before she said, I lost to you in terms of cultivation time, but Im better than you in terms of the aeth power reservoir grade.

Lin Xun looked surprised. Is there really an aeth power reservoir better than first-grade in the world?

Its a draw this time. I hope that when we meet again next time, we can determine who is better between you and I. Bai Lingxi said solemnly before she turned around and left.

As she walked under the blood-red sunset, her robe fluttered and her entire body was shrouded in an illusory glow.

I cant tell anyone about my aeth power reservoir.

That was the last time that Lin Xun saw Bai Lingxi in Blood Kill Camp. That night, the unpredictable girl left the camp.

Lin Xun still didnt know why Bai Lingxi treated him in such a way and found it very strange.

However, the grade of Bai Lingxis aeth power reservoir still surprised Lin Xun.

You can consider that you won. Immediately, Lin Xun smiled, turned around and headed into the campground.

Were they really evenly matched in the competition?

At least, Lin Xun felt that his aeth power reservoir wasnt inferior to Bai Lingxis!

He was only surprised because he realized that there was indeed an aeth power reservoir more special than a first-grade aeth power reservoir!

As for the challenge, Lin Xun didnt care. Bai Lingxi had her own path and Lin Xun had his. It was too early to tell who the winner was on the path.

Lin Xun froze as he entered the campground.

He saw a large table of various dishes and fruits set up in the center of the campground and dozens of wine jars on the ground.

There was a fine selection of dishes and all looked and smelled great.

The drinks were clearly aged wine as its aroma filled the air.

At that moment, Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Gong Ming were already sitting around the table.

When Ning Meng saw Lin Xun, he sprang up and yelled, Boy, you made us wait for you for so long. We have to punish you with three bowls of wine

Ning Meng brought over a jar of wine and poured three bowls.

Lin Xun stared at them blankly before asking, What are you doing?

Drink the wine first and then well talk about it, Shi Yu said with a smile.

Hehe, drink, quickly drink. Gong Ming also smiled.

Before Lin Xun could respond, Ning Meng shoved the wine bowl to his mouth and shouted, Dont talk nonsense! Hurry up and drink it! Today, we must drink until we are drunk!

Lin Xun knew he had to drink it when he saw their stances. He delightfully downed three bowls and, without asking more questions, he sat down at the table. You want to drink? Count me in! Whoever uses aeth power is a loser!

His bold and lofty spirit suddenly ignited Shi Yu and the others, and they sprang into action.

Even one thousand cups of wine wasnt enough when drinking with friends. The four teenagers let go of everything and drank to their hearts content under the twilight sky.

They gulped down one bowl after another.

It was the first time that Lin Xun drank like that in his life. He felt his head swell and spin, and his vision blurred.

However, his heart was filled with delight.

It was only until later that he vaguely realized that Ning Meng had dragged Li Duxing over from somewhere. Li Duxing was clearly very reluctant, but how would Ning Meng, who was already very drunk, care about his response? He just continued to force Li Duxing to stay and poured him wine.

Before long, Lin Xun saw Li Duxing totter and fall asleep on the table with a thud, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

The drunken laughter echoed throughout the night. It was noisy, lively but beautiful.
