Chapter 477: The Thorn in Li An's Heart

"I'll go back to the ruins. You stay home."With that, Li An opened the door and left.Yuri was stunned.You're not allowed to follow?Woo-woo-woo.Suddenly, Li An returned, poked his head back, and asked, "Is your flock big?""If it is, help me find other ruins. I'll transfer that heavy battleship to you to play with."Yuri's eyes lit up at this, and he flapped his wings, saying, "I will live up to Master Li's expectations!"Li An chuckled and turned away.He sat on the shuttle and quickly headed for Ruin No. 2.The ruins were still in their original location.Li An had considered moving the ruins, but he couldn't.It was as if they were fixed to that coordinate, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move them.So even though the Terrans had won a great victory, they didn't claim the ruins for themselves. They remained unclaimed. Li An quickly returned.Two people stood outside the door.Li Shaoshu and Qin Xiaoye."Brother Li is here," Qin Xiaoye greeted."Come on, take me in."The two stepped into the familiar corridor.The candle Li An had lit earlier still glowed.His palm touched the wall, engraved with mysterious patterns.The patterns seemed to glow faintly, a little different from before."What's going on now?" Li An asked. Qin Xiaoye frowned and said, "That Lin Ruyu is truly reckless.""Everyone was scrambling inside to avoid the explosion.""She's the only Infinite-level Wood Elementalist of this generation. She was drawn to the Book of Guidance within these ruins and journeyed all the way to the deepest depths.""Now, she's seeking enlightenment in there."Li An frowned and said, "The Dao Soul requires soul strength.""No one has reached the Ninth Realm yet, and hasn't even begun soul cultivation yet. How can she achieve enlightenment?"Qin Xiaoye said gravely, "Liu Yongye is here too.""He said that Lin Ruyu's soul strength is increasing at an astonishing rate.""Is that so?" Li An's face changed slightly."Is this ruin so good?""It gives you the Dao Soul directly, and if your soul strength isn't strong enough, you can raise it right away.""If everything goes smoothly, doesn't that mean..."Oh my God!""Is Lin Ruyu about to enter the Divine Realm!""She's already reached the Divine Realm at the seventh Realm!""Isn't that unrealistic?" Yet, this relic didn't emanate any sinister aura; its power was pure and dignified.Li An sensed no conspiracy.He quickened his pace and approached the altar.He crossed the threshold.He saw Lin Ruyu sitting cross-legged in the center of the altar, radiating a rich green light.An intense vitality surged through her.The green light sank into the altar beneath her feet, tinting the previously dim and silent array patterns with a tinge of green.Liu Yongye, pale and bloodless, stood nearby, his shoulders hunched, his demeanor still unapproachable."Is her soul strength truly increasing?" Li An approached.Although he had fought Liu Yongye to the death in the Super High School League,that incident had happened long ago, Liu Yongye had aided Li An, even Frost Snow, in crucial battles several times in the past two years.Although, Li An didn't understand why Liu Yongye had suddenly gone from wanting to kill him to consistently helping him. But he decided to let bygones be bygones.Let bygones be bygones.Liu Yongye didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb in response to Li An's words.His voice was still hoarse and weak."To condense the Dao Soul, one's soul realm must reach the Tianyuan Realm.""Turbidity, Upper Form, Refining Eyes, Tianyuan.""Most people in the Cultivation Temple are only at the Turbidity Realm, the first soul realm.""You're special, having reached the second realm, Upper Form.""I should be at the highest, the fourth realm, Tianyuan.""Zhao Shaolong has secretly cultivated to the third realm, Refining Eyes. It's clear he's ambitious and wants to enter the Divine Realm early.""Lin Ruyu was originally only at the Turbidity Realm.""But now, she's reached the Upper Form.""The power hidden within this relic is surging into her body, like a sudden enlightenment from the immortal realm, directly infusing her with pure soul power."Liu Yongye suddenly squatted down, pressing his palms on the altar, which glowed with green light. "The rate at which the ruins' power is being output is increasing, not decreasing.""Although it's hard to believe, at this rate, Lin Ruyu will reach the Tianyuan Realm within seven days, condense his Dao Soul, and enter the Divine Realm."Li An said solemnly, "Seal the news!"Qin Xiaoye nodded emphatically and quickly told all the Terrans not to spread the news of Lin Ruyu's actions.Then, Li An took out the Star Orbit and sent a message to Shuangxue, informing her of Lin Ruyu's current situation and asking her to come and protect Lin Ruyu after she woke up.Seven days passed.A Divine Realm expert would appear in the human race of this generation, a boon for every Terran genius.At this moment...Lin Ruyu opened his eyes slightly, his lips moving slightly as he said, "Thank you."Li An shook his head and said, "You're welcome. The best is for everyone."There was something strangely amusing about these words, and the corners of Liu Yongye's mouth twitched slightly. He suddenly used his mental power to transmit a message to Li An, saying, "Achieving success overnight is never a good thing.""There's no such thing as a free lunch, what do you think?"Li An responded, "Let's take it one step at a time.""Protect Lin Ruyu. In seven days, perhaps we'll know what this relic truly is."The altar grew quiet.Li An sat cross-legged, entering a dream state to practice some simple cultivation.But finally, unable to resist his curiosity, he opened his eyes, looked at Liu Yongye, and asked, "Why did you want to kill me during the Super League?"Liu Yongye said hoarsely, "Because I need your dream.""Li Wuce told me that if he killed you, he'd be able to extract that talent from your corpse."Li An remembered Li Wuce's vicious face again.He was filled with evil.If he lost, died, it would mean he was no match for his talent, unable to grasp it.If he won, survived, then we'd see.In human territory, he gradually increased his strength. He was really going to kill me, no joke.Because Li Wuce didn't care about Li An's life or death.He only cared about his gift of dreams and the fate of humanity.From the perspective of humanity, he was doing evil for the sake of good.From Li An's perspective, he was a mortal enemy.Would Li An hate him for that?No, Li An wouldn't hate Li Wuce for those things. After all, at this level, there was no need to dwell on the past.But Li An still wanted Li Wuce dead.He could never forget Li Wuce's ruthless attack on his grandfather.You can kill me, it doesn't matter.I'm not afraid at all.But what about my loved ones?This incident was a thorn in Li An's heart.In his heart, Li Wuce deserved to die.Just not now.Fortunately, Li Wuce was only vicious, not a hooligan.He knew in his heart that this account would be settled sooner or later. Both men knew this!If this knot couldn't be untied, it would be paid with blood.
