Chapter 118: Searching for Super Beings
Lian Yun was certainly not the type of person to be overly ambitious. Thus, he decided that he would rather give up on the Alliance Tournament than force himself into a state of greed.
However, after letting go of his ambitions, Wang Da's team no longer held much interest for Lian Yun.
He had thought about it; since he was here to experience things, he should go through different teams and witness more aspects of life.
So, he bid farewell to Wang Da and joined another team.
From then on, Lian Yun seemed somewhat indecisive. He would stay in a team for a short while before leaving to join a new one.
This cycle continued for nearly half a month, during which he switched teams almost ten times, whether willingly, unexpectedly delighted, or out of necessity.
Though half a month seemed uneventful, Lian Yun had experienced and learned a great deal.
In terms of growth, he had already broken through the Seventh Level.
The improvement after the sixth stage was thanks to Sword Mountain. Once a Second-Rank Monarch, Sword Mountain was rather dull-witted. Lian Yun hoped that by helping him break through, he might regain some sharpness in his mind.
The outcome left Lian Yun both amused and pleasantly surprised.
What amused him was that Sword Mountain's state had not changed at all; he still listened to whatever Big Head said, as if he had no opinions of his own.
The pleasant surprise came from the fact that Lian Yun initially thought Sword Mountain was merely large in stature and dull in personality. He did not expect his foundation to be incredibly solid and robust.
Just with Sword Mountain alone, continuously compressing and enhancing his realm allowed Lian Yun to recover to the Top-Tier Peak Realm when Sword Mountain reached the Second-Rank Monarch level.
Following that were nearly six days of breakthroughs at the Seventh Level, during which the Three Spirits also simultaneously broke through to the Monarch level. However, the Three Spirits only advanced to the Ding Zhong Wang Zhe Jing Jie.
Their previous realm had been Lower Peak of Rank D. Due to their years of experience, Lian Yun permitted them to break through but limited it to the Dingzhong Realm.
Lian Yun did not want them to advance too quickly because sometimes simply elevating one's realm was not enough; each level required time for comprehension and insight. Otherwise, even if their physical foundation was solid, lacking the right mindset or an incomplete state of mind would lead to irremediable flaws.
Even so, the spiritual energy generated by the Three Spirits was considerable, allowing Lian Yun to recover to the peak of the third tier.
Although he was only at the peak of the B-Class, Lian Yun's spiritual energy was not less than when he had reached the peak of A-Class.
Since breaking through the fifth barrier, his body no longer felt empty. When he broke through the sixth barrier, the amount of Spiritual Energy his body could contain had already doubled compared to before. After surpassing the Seventh Level, it increased to four times, and now it had reached five times.
If he were to break through the eighth barrier and return to the peak of A-Class, the spiritual energy within him would likely exceed that of an ordinary Armed Ghost Hunter by tenfold.
This was the power of Ultimate Ascension to Kingship.
However, by now, Lian Yun's resources and the grayish substance obtained from decomposing Spirits within his Box were running low. It would be difficult for him to break through to the peak of A-Class within ten days, let alone surpass the eighth barrier.
As for his so-called indifference, it stemmed from having followed a dozen teams and witnessing many compromises.
Lian Yun had seen a woman embrace her husband's killer with affection, even choosing to follow him to death. He had also witnessed a man obeying the one who took his wife, even sacrificing himself to protect that person.
But what he saw more often were acts of betrayal—repaying kindness with malice, burning bridges after crossing them, brothers turning against each other, and couples becoming enemies.
There was too much of it; humanity's darker side was vividly displayed among those dozen teams, often without any pretense.
After seeing so much, Lian Yun became indifferent. It seemed he felt that everyone had their own way of survival. As long as no one infringed upon him, he didn't want to meddle in others' affairs, revealing a genuine coldness.
After moving between various teams, Lian Yun set off on his own and entered the depths of Fengdu.
Despite having witnessed much during his time with those teams, he also learned about the hardships and extreme helplessness many people faced. He felt that relying solely on his strength while remaining at the edge of Fengdu made him seem woefully inexperienced.
Thus, entering Fengdu's interior was a way for him to force himself into experiencing some dangers; otherwise, he felt it would be hard for him to grow further.
For instance, despite having mastered Sword Control Technique at its peak, he still hadn't broken through to the intermediate level—likely due to insufficient honing.
With about ten days left until he sought out the Blood Spirit Fruit deep within Northern District's Fengdu, Lian Yun planned to spend a week gaining experience in West District's Fengdu before making his move for the Blood Spirit Fruit in the last four days.
While Lian Yun was honing his skills in West District's Fengdu, significant changes were occurring in Northern District.
Teams consisting of hundreds of members continuously entered Northern District. The members wore nearly identical clothing, indicating they belonged to a single family or faction.
In less than three days, nearly five hundred teams—totaling around one hundred thousand individuals—had entered Northern District.
In an instant, the entire Northern District's idle Spirits and Evil Spirits were cleared out. Most individual players and teams hastily left Fengdu, and even those from the East District and West District mostly chose to depart from Fengdu as well.
This resulted in an unprecedented exodus, the largest ever, with many unable to reach the King's Realm.
Moreover, there were quite a few who wanted to leave but were held back by members of large teams, who insisted on having them act as guides.
Although many cried out that they were somewhat familiar with the outskirts of Fengdu, they admitted to knowing nothing about the inner workings of Fengdu. Nevertheless, a significant number still stayed behind to serve as guides.
Some were motivated by generous rewards, while others were coerced through threats and inducements.
Strangely enough, those leaving from the West District all described the same person to the teams that sought to recruit them. This was an individual capable of manipulating all teams in the West District with ease.
Though no one could name this person, nearly everyone agreed that this formidable figure had already entered Fengdu alone.
This solitary figure's strength was hard to fathom, but many team leaders speculated that such power far surpassed that of their peers and was undoubtedly aimed at obtaining the Blood Spirit Fruit.
As a result, some teams had no choice but to quicken their pace to reach the vicinity of where the Blood Spirit Fruit was located. Meanwhile, certain teams moved towards the West District after entering Fengdu, seemingly in search of that formidable individual.
