Chapter 160 Six Stars
The next morning, in a room in the Mittel family's mansion.

Lin Yuan felt his nose was a little itchy, as if something was scratching his face. His nostrils moved slightly, and with that feeling, a sneeze was about to come out.

"Ah-"

Lin Yuan ended his rare sleep and opened his eyes.

What he saw was no longer the ominous scene in his dream, but the somewhat familiar yet more unfamiliar purple decoration on the bed in his own room.

Beside him, Medusa was just like an ordinary little woman. After waking up, she teased Lin Yuan with her long black hair.

"woke up?"

Medusa smiled mischievously, "You were so excited and energetic last night, and played so hard. But you can sleep better than this 'defeatable opponent', little man. Are you exhausted?"

"I--"

Lin Yuan was about to fight back to let her know that men cannot withstand provocation.

However, as soon as he sat up, he felt an illusory sense of powerlessness in his heart, and at the same time he felt completely uninterested, as if he was in a state of boredom.

Okay, maybe he really isn't that good now.

The series of battles yesterday had taken a toll on his body and spirit. In particular, last night, when the dual-element secret technique backfired, he still managed to hold on to his wounded body and slay his old enemy, which really consumed a lot of energy.

Although he has fully recovered with the help of elixirs and the secret method of dual cultivation, he is still a sage at this moment because he has excessively experimented with the secret method of dual cultivation.

"Let me see what time it is first."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan looked at the sky and estimated the time. "It's not long before we meet Venerable Tong Yao and the others."

As he spoke, a serious and earnest expression appeared on his face, and he stood up and got off the bed.

Queen Medusa looked at Lin Yuan who was refusing to fight, and a smug smile appeared on her face. Although she was careless last night and lost to him again, she won the game without fighting this morning, which was considered a victory.

After Lin Yuan was dressed, he sat back on the couch, looked at the beauty in front of him, and smiled faintly.

"Queen, I have something for you."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stroked his brow with his hand. He slowly drew out a strand of extremely condensed soul power and pressed it on Queen Medusa's chest.

Then, Lin Yuan formed several mysterious seals with his hands. The soul power in Queen Medusa's chest seemed to be activated, slowly turning into a light green mark, which slowly disappeared after it took shape.

Looking at Medusa's somewhat puzzled expression, Lin Yuan placed his hand on the colorful mark on his chest and smiled slightly.

"This is a special soul mark of mine. Burn it and I will be able to sense your direction and general location. When you need me to take action, just burn it and I will be able to sense it. At that time, I will rush to your side immediately."

"I deduced this based on the colorful mark you left for me, Queen. How do you feel about it?"

Queen Medusa heard this, her charming eyes became more gentle, and she gently stroked the blue mark on her chest, "Not bad, this gift is quite what I like."

"That's good." Lin Yuan smiled and stood up. Hearing this, he extended his hand to Queen Medusa, "Let's go, Queen. Let's go meet Senior Medicine Venerable. I think we can get some benefits from him today."

"Oh?"

Medusa placed her hand on Lin Yuan's palm, using the force to stand up, and glanced at the shattered colorful dress on the ground. Immediately, colorful lights flowed, and a fitted purple dress appeared, wrapping her exquisite figure.

"Benefits?" Medusa thought for a moment, then revealed a look of understanding and looked at him with interest. "I see, little man, you are really cunning!"

"You want to use Xiao Yan and the Xiao family as a starting point to further make a deal with Medicine Venerable! You want to use your easy capture of the Seven Stars' affiliated forces in the Jia Ma Empire to protect the Xiao family as a bargaining chip in exchange for more meaningful benefits for you."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at Queen Medusa with admiration, "Your Majesty, I am really fascinated by your wisdom."

"However, I prefer to say that this is mutually beneficial and each side gets what it needs."

"After all, they do need someone to help protect the Xiao family for a period of time. These are nothing to me. And I need some things in Yao Zun's hands, but those are nothing to him."

"How can you be sure that they won't trade directly with other people, such as that old monster in the royal family?" asked Queen Medusa.

"Haha." Lin Yuan smiled confidently and said calmly, "Because I am the most suitable person. As for Jia Xingtian, from what I know, that person is very 'stable'. After yesterday's incident, he probably doesn't have much courage to get involved with Xiao Yan and Medicine Venerable."

Hearing this, Medusa raised her eyebrows and said, "You have a very thorough understanding of Old Monster Jia. Did Hai Bodong tell you that?"

“I guess so!” Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, smoothed Medusa’s brows, and chuckled, “Okay, don’t think too much, let’s take it easy today. When it comes to cooperation, just go with the flow. If it succeeds, it’s great, but if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter.”

"After all, the momentum I have spent several years accumulating is enough to allow me to soar into the sky."

After saying that, Lin Yuan turned around, opened the door and walked out. A gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes as he looked up at the vast sky.

As his mind moved with his body, a sense of pride emanated from his body and soared into the sky.

At this moment, the fighting spirit in Lin Yuan's body became extremely active, and the Tiandu Fire Classic suddenly began to operate on its own. The huge amount of energy turned into a thick energy vortex, converging and infusing towards Lin Yuan at the center of the vortex.

At the same time, the residual medicinal power of the many high-level elixirs he had taken recently was also surging in his body, ready to take effect.

Lin Yuan seemed to have sensed something, and sat cross-legged as he wished, with the strange fire in his body rising.

In his body, the energy of heaven and earth and the huge amount of medicinal power mixed together, and under the refining of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Heart Flame Fire, it turned into pure fighting spirit, which was absorbed by the greedy meridians and flesh in Lin Yuan's body at this moment.

Lin Yuan's aura also began to rise rapidly. After a while, with a "click", Lin Yuan broke through to the late five-star level with unstoppable force.

However, Lin Yuan's progress did not stop. As the energy of heaven and earth poured into his body and the huge amount of residual medicinal power in his body was refined and absorbed, Lin Yuan's aura continued to climb steadily and firmly...

"What is this?" At this moment, Medusa, who had just walked out of the room, saw this and a strange look flashed in her eyes. "Are you breaking through after the battle? You little man, you really make me worry."

Although there was a hint of reproach in her words, it was difficult to conceal the slight joy in Medusa's tone.

"Space blockade!"

A moment later, when a cold female voice sounded, a mysterious space barrier enveloped Lin Yuan's residence, protecting Lin Yuan's breakthrough.

Half a day later.

When the last trace of free fire energy in the space barrier penetrated into Lin Yuan's body, the powerful aura emanating from his body was also completely restrained at this moment and shrunk into his body.

At this moment, the energy and fighting spirit in Lin Yuan's body reached saturation. He sat cross-legged in the yard without moving, and the barrier became quiet.

His breathing became extremely long, and it seemed as if a huge force was accumulating between each breath. The silent atmosphere lasted for about half an hour.

Finally, at a certain moment, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the momentum was enough.

Immediately, Lin Yuan stood up, looked straight at the sky, his eyes suddenly became stern.

"hold head high--"

A long roar like a dormant dragon emerging from the abyss burst out along with a powerful aura that had been accumulating for a long time. The sound waves, accompanied by the violent aura, caused circles of surging space ripples in the space barrier set up by Medusa.

"Give it to me, broken!!!"

With a roar, a majestic aura carried the force that penetrated the sky and in an instant launched a fierce attack on the bottleneck from five stars to six stars.

"Crack!"

In the dark, it seemed as if an invisible boundary was broken, and Lin Yuan's long-accumulated aura finally broke through the five-star level and stayed steadily above the six-star level.

After the excessive explosion, inevitable weakness follows.

Lin Yuan, who had just broken through to the six-star realm, saw his powerful aura recede like the tide. His body softened and he leaned on Medusa, who had dodged in time, gasping for breath.

However, at this moment his eyes were unusually bright, flashing with a joy that was difficult to conceal.

"Six-star Douhuang, it's done!"

Ten minutes later, after experiencing this brief period of weakness, Lin Yuan's surging fighting spirit continued to flow out of his body, and the feeling of weakness was also quickly subsiding.

Thinking of this breakthrough process, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Spirit, energy and spirit, the three elements complement each other. Cultivation is indeed an interesting thing."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stood up straight, twisted his body, and his bones suddenly crackled. The strong power filled his body and brought a sense of comfort, stimulating his mind and making him laugh happily.

“Practice, so cool!!!”

"Okay, let's stop sighing here." Medusa, who was standing beside him, saw that Lin Yuan had recovered and reminded him, "It's almost evening. If you don't keep the appointment, it will be too late."

"That's right! Queen, let's go and keep our appointment."

Soon, a cyan and a rainbow light rose from the Holy City of Gama and flew towards the direction of the Monster Mountain Range.

In the evening, in a cave in the Warcraft Mountains.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a stone platform in the middle of the cave, his eyes closed, his hands forming a seal for cultivation. From his fluctuating aura, it could be concluded that he was already on the verge of ascending to a star.

"Ding--"

At a certain moment, in the quiet cave, a soft humming sound came from Xiao Yan's body, and as this soft humming sounded, Xiao Yan's aura suddenly surged.

"You have broken through to the four-star Grand Fighter?" Yao Lao stroked his beard, his eyes becoming more serious. "The next step is the key point. The energy in your body is sufficient, enough for you to upgrade one more star, but this star is poison. Xiao Yanzi, what will you choose?"

"Resist the temptation, suppress your anger, don't let your emotions cloud your mind, and don't let your master down!"

Finally, under Yao Lao's somewhat worried eyes, Xiao Yan's aura suddenly stopped rising, compressed, and then he slowly stabilized his aura, and began to thoroughly digest the sudden surge in his cultivation.

Xiao Yan finally suppressed his anger, and the abnormal desire for power in his heart, and recalled Yao Lao's teachings.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yan dispersed the seal of cultivation and opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were no longer filled with anger, helplessness, resentment, and other mixed emotions when he just listened to Yao Lao's talk about the Soul Palace and the Xiao family. All of these were deeply suppressed in Xiao Yan's heart, so his mind also calmed down.

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao, who was looking at him gently, with a hint of relief on his previously worried face.

Then, Xiao Yan stood up and bowed deeply, "Teacher, thank you very much! I have worried you these past two days. Don't worry, I will not act impulsively in matters concerning cultivation and the Soul Palace."

Yao Lao nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and smiled with relief.

"It's good that you know this. More haste, less speed. Fighting against the Soul Palace and rescuing your father are destined to be a long process. So, don't be anxious, grasp the things that you can grasp in front of you, and steadily improve your cultivation."

"Yes, teacher." Xiao Yan nodded.

Seeing Xiao Yan return to his normal state, Yao Lao also returned to normal, with a little more teasing in his mind.

"Fortunately, you didn't let your emotions get the better of you this time and blindly break through the stars to improve your cultivation. Otherwise, I would have made you spend three months honing your fighting spirit and used the lack of progress in your cultivation for several months as punishment to help you calm down."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, there is no need to do this!"

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and said calmly, "Think about how you acted yesterday and ask yourself, are your words convincing? I still remember clearly how you wanted to rush to the Soul Palace and fight them to the death."

"I don't want to collect your body, nor do I want to go to the Soul Palace to retrieve you. All I can do is help you calm down."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan touched the back of his head and chuckled a few times.

He still had some memory of how he fell into a state of rage and dementia because Xiao Zhan was captured.

Looking at the angry Yao Lao, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and began to change the subject, "Teacher, we have been waiting for a whole day. Do we still need to continue waiting here for Tian Shu to come?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and turned his gaze towards the direction of Jia Ma Holy City. A familiar aura was approaching.

"Our subsequent action plan depends somewhat on the intelligence Tianshu has." Yao Lao waved his hand and said calmly: "Besides, he will be here soon, let's go out!"

As he spoke, Yao Lao floated out of the cave first, and Xiao Yan followed closely behind him.

After exiting the cave, just as Xiao Yan was greeting Ling Ying who was stationed outside the cave, two streaks of light appeared in the three people's field of vision and rushed towards them.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Lin Yuan and Medusa appeared in front of the three people.

As a comrade who had fought side by side yesterday, Yao Lao was just about to say hello when he heard Lin Yuan's words that took the lead.

"Hmm? How did Senior Yao know that I had a breakthrough?"

"To be honest, after the fierce battle yesterday, I gained some insights and caught the opportunity to break through. Today, I spent some time and luckily broke through to one star, and I am now a six-star Dou Huang."

Hearing Lin Yuan's self-centered words, Yao Lao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Uh, it seems that I haven't said anything yet..."
