Since coming to Blood Kill Camp, Lin Xun had challenged the Omega Secret Realm every three days.

This had become his habit.

The benefits of passing the Omega Secret Realm were unquestionable—It greatly helped to temper a person’s physique.

Yesterday, when Lin Xun attempted the second level of the Omega Secret Realm for the 67th time, he was only a dozen feet away from reaching the mountain peak where countless waterfalls were gushing down!

A month ago, Lin Xun could only make it half way up the mountain. The difference in progress clearly showed how fast Lin Xun’s physical strength had improved during the period.

Lin Xun speculated that he should be able to pass the Thousand Heavy Wave Sea within two months!

……

Lin Xun’s improvement in the past month also greatly improved his score in the camp. He was now considered above average among the thirty students in the 39th Campground.

His progress might seem nothing special but it was already amazing considering his background.

It had to be said that everyone remaining in the 39th Campground were elites among the elites and the fact that Lin Xun was now ranked in the upper-middle demonstrated how fast Lin Xun’s strength had improved in the past one month.

His improvement brought a great deal of pressure to the other students.

It was not an exaggeration to say that all the students in the 39th Campground except for Lin Xun were at the True Martial ninth layer. Only Lin Xun was still at the True Martial seventh layer.

His results were at the upper-middle despite only having True Martial seventh layer cultivation. It was easy to imagine what sort of pressure it brought to the students ranked below him since they possessed a much higher cultivation base than him.

Just as Xiaoman had previously said to Xu Sanqi, Lin Xun’s cultivation base might seem weak but he had a much greater room of improvement compared to the other students.

This was because the other students already had the cultivation base to break through to the Spirit Dipper Stage. It would be difficult for them to have any other breakthroughs in strength.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was different. He was only at the True Martial seventh layer yet he was ranked above average in the rankings. What would happen if he broke through to the True Martial eight layer?

Going further, what would happen when he reached the True Martial ninth layer?

Those who realized this wouldn’t dare to underestimate Lin Xun anymore.

……

Some people were delighted about Lin Xun’s strong rise, such as Ning Meng, but some others were not as happy, such as Qi Can.

Xin Wenbin had failed miserably in the last monthly assessment and had been eliminated from the Blood Kill Camp; however, his hatred for Lin Xun hadn’t been resolved as a result.

At least, everyone in his circle, such as Qi Can, Wen Mingxiu, and Mu Lengxin, knew that their relationship with Lin Xun was like fire and water even though there hadn’t been any deep grudges between them.

The stronger Lin Xun became, the more discontent they were.

What annoyed them the most was that they knew they would have countless ways to stop Lin Xun’s progress or even completely suppress him if they were in the outside world.

However, they were at Blood Kill Camp, where the rules were very strict, so they didn’t dare to openly create trouble for Lin Xun. They could only hope that Lin Xun would be eliminated in the training or fail miserably in the upcoming quarterly assessment.

However, the possibility of that happening was very slim because Lin Xun had tremendous room to grow stronger and he was improving hugely every day. It was impossible to stop him.

Qi Can and the others felt extremely annoyed every time they saw Lin Xun. It was as though they had eaten a fly. But there was nothing they could do about it.

It wasn’t only Qi Can and the others who felt pressure facing Lin Xun’s strong rise, the students from the 40th Campground who had merged with the 39th Campground did too.

This was because Lin Xun was the only one making rapid progress in the entire camp. Other people’s progress was mostly reflected in their combat techniques and combat experience.

Whereas Lin Xun’s progress was in his aeth power cultivation!

Aeth power cultivation was a cultivator’s fundamental strength and also their source of power in battle.

As cultivators at the True Martial ninth layer, they might be able to suppress Lin Xun with combat strength, but their advantage would gradually lessen as time passed and they might even be surpassed in the future!

This was indeed possible. Lin Xun could already suppress many students at the True Martial ninth layer despite being at the True Martial seventh layer. How terrifying would he be when he possessed a cultivation base of the ninth layer True Martial Stage?

Many people had begun to realize that disregarding Lin Xun now would be stupid. Although Lin Xun might have been of little importance back then and was likely to be eliminated, his circumstances had completely changed now. Anyone stuck in the past were truly foolish.

……

Time flew and ten days quickly went by.

On that day, Lin Xun had successfully broken through to the True Martial eight layer, reaching the Big Cycle Stage. As a result, his aeth power underwent a complete transformation!

In the fighting arena.

Wen Mingxiu knitted her brows as she studied Lin Xun who was standing opposite her. She somehow felt that Lin Xun was a little different from the past, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

Within the past month, Wen Mingxiu and Lin Xun had around four to five training spars in the arena. At first, she won more than she lost, but later on, they had an equal number of victories.

The change made Wen Mingxiu realize that, although she might be improving, Lin Xun’s progress was clearly much faster than hers.

Even if Wen Mingxiu felt bitter about the change, she had to admit that Lin Xun was strongly rising. She could only close the gap between her and Lin Xun if she disregarded everything and broke through to the Spirit Dipper Stage. Otherwise he would surpass her one day.

Regrettably, Wen Mingxiu wouldn’t choose to break through to the Spirit Dipper Stage at this point. Her purpose of coming to Blood Kill Camp was to enter the Dipper Transformation Lake, so how would she choose to break through before she entered the Dipper Transformation Lake?

Most importantly, she would have to leave Blood Kill Camp once she broke through, since the rules stated that no Spirit Dipper cultivators were allowed in Blood Kill Camp!

Hmph, the quarterly assessment is in ten days. I don’t believe that the True Martial seventh layer guy will be lucky enough this time around to not be eliminated!

Wen Mingxiu drew a deep breath, tossed away all the distracting thoughts in her mind and charged towards Lin Xun in a flash as though she was raising the curtains to the battle.

Although she still hated Lin Xun, she wouldn’t be careless. She wasn’t stupid so she knew that she could lose the battle if she didn’t concentrate.

As soon as the battle started, she activated her ancestral unique technique, the Jade Flame Finger!

Shua!

Her slim and fair finger was sharp as a blade, glowing an unearthly jade hue. It suddenly released a terrifying power that seemed capable of penetrating into a person’s soul.

In the past, it was her unique art that helped her win against Lin Xun.

Wen Mingxiu knew very well that Lin Xun had grown stronger and so she didn’t hesitate to perform the killing move right away. She wanted to immediately crush Lin Xun’s fighting spirit and push herself into a favorable position in the battle.

However, she didn’t expect Lin Xun to not evade her ultimate killing move and instead meet it head-on.

Boom!

He had used the Fight Bloody Battles On All Directions from the Marching Army Fist Art.

Unlike before, his punch was now enveloped in a vast, unparalleled and unstoppable force that seemed like it could swallow the world!

With a rumble, the air exploded before the fist came, as though it was unable to withstand the terrifying force.

Wen Mingxiu became stifled and seemed to vaguely see a sacred mountain descending from beyond the heavens and about to crush her. All the pores on her body exploded as she felt an unprecedented danger.

Bang!

Before she could change her move, she felt as if a giant hammer had flattened her finger and an incomparably terrifying fist force was crashing down like raging waves. Her body trembled uncontrollably and she was almost blasted out of the arena.

Her face blanched in horror as she coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her pretty face contorted with uncontrollable fear. The last time we fought was only ten days ago…how did he become so strong in that short period of time?

The scene drew gasps from all around.

Some students’ pupils constricted and their faces twisted with fear. They had never thought that Lin Xun would become so powerful.

“He has made a breakthrough…” Someone muttered in an indescribably complex voice.

A tossed stone raised thousands of ripples. Many people finally realized that Lin Xun had broken through to the True Martial eight layer in less than two months!

“How could he progress so fast?!”

“Why have I never noticed that guy is so talented in cultivation?”

“Some people are mediocre all their life and then somehow, suddenly astonish everyone. Lin Xun was a nobody, but he has risen strongly and he will surpass more and more people in the future.”

Many people wore complicated expressions. Some were envious, some surprised, but the majority were mixed with fear and pressure.

Lin Xun had broke through too fast!

Since the last monthly assessment, his potential seemed to have exploded and his cultivation base had been improving crazily. It was difficult for him to not attract other people’s attention.

“Hehe, did you see? He’s my brother. Many people have joked that he would be eliminated soon but it turns out that you all are blind!”

Ning Meng laughed proudly as he looked at his opponent.

Qi Can’s face grew overcast.

Shi Yu ruminatively looked at Lin Xun from afar. Lin Xun's potential had far exceeded his expectations many times in a row, which was very unusual.

The gazes of Gong Ming, Di Jun, Lei Xinyue and Ye Xiaoqi also subtly changed when they looked at Lin Xun.

“I really have underestimated him…” At the entrance of the fighting arena, Xiaoke’s slender figure was still straight as a brush and her short jet black hair glistened under the twilight sky.

Gazing at Lin Xun afar, she cast her mind back to the changes that had happened to him in the past few days and she couldn’t help falling into a trance.

Since that day, Lin Xun’s ranking rose once again in the 39th Campground and he finally entered the top ranks!

There were only three days until the quarterly assessment.
