The defensive barrier condensed by the Lingyun Protection Ring could withstand up to the fifth level of the Dragon Emperor's attack.
In other words, it was in line with the current restrictions on the battlefield of the Nine Races.
This Lingyun Protection Ring was exchanged with Linghu Die 'er after he killed a high-ranking Devil General. It seemed like the exchange was too much of a coincidence.
"In other words, there definitely won't be anyone too strong on the battlefield within a year."
"The strongest attack of any opponent on the battlefield will be blocked by the Lingyun Protection Ring!"
"As for the Lingyun Protection Ring, it can be used once every seven days. It can absorb spiritual energy on its own … This Heaven-grade Dragon Weapon is simply too comfortable."
This Lingyun Protection Ring was useless for Linghu Die 'er, but it was just right for Kang Shin-mu.
Now, Jiang Shenwu could completely rely on Ling Yun's protective ring to run amok on the battlefield of the Nine Great Clans. If he encountered someone too strong, he could directly block Ling Yun's protective ring and then escape with the Wind Shadow Flowing Flash.
After using it once, the Lingyun Protection Ring could not be used again. It needed to absorb spiritual energy for seven days before it could be used again. During this period, Kang Shin-mu would return to the Longwu Fortress and wait for the Lingyun Protection Ring to be used again.
It seemed like this method was unique and foolproof.
However, in reality, Kang Shin-mu also thought of one thing. If it wasn't a servant of the Nine Races, but a member of the Nine Races, then he still had to be careful.
Just like Su Yiyi, she would definitely have brought countless powerful weapons with her when she went out alone.
If it was an expert using the Heaven-grade Desolate God Demonic Weapon, the Void Ripping Void Magic Blade, then it was still possible to break through Kang Shin-mu's Lingyun Protection Ring.
He couldn't be careless. However, with the Lingyun Protection Ring, his safety was definitely guaranteed.
After thinking about this, Kang Shin-mu left his palace to meet up with Xiao Yuhua and the others.
With the help of the Phoenix Spirit Fire Rock, Xiao Yu Hua and the others had made great breakthroughs.
Among them, Xiao Yuhua and Xiao Bai had always been at the front and had already reached the fourth level of the Rebirth Tribulation Realm. Ran Ran and Liang Xiao, like Kang Shin-mu, were at the third level of the Rebirth Tribulation Realm.
After all, Kang Shin-mu's efficiency in absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi condensed from the Phoenix Spirit Fire Stone was the highest. Therefore, he broke through two realms in one go and somewhat caught up.
"I have a hunch that the five of us will be able to enter the Heaven's Pivot District in the Academy Competition next year."
Liang Xiao was overjoyed.
"There are nine places in the Heaven Pivot District, and our team will take five?"
Xiao Yuhua, on the other hand, wasn't so optimistic. She shook her head and said, "Unless more than half of the nine students in the Heaven's Center District can reach the fifth level of the Dragon Emperor and become a mentor of the Dragon Emperor, we won't be able to enter the Heaven's Center District so easily."
There was nothing wrong with saying that.
However, this year's Academy Competition had just ended, and it was still too early to think about next year's Academy Competition.
"This time, we spent three days absorbing the Phoenix Spirit Fire Stone and made some breakthroughs. It's about time for us to continue to the battlefield."
Kang Shin-mu said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the Dragon Martial Fortress first to understand the situation. In these three days, the first group of Dragon Martial Practitioners who went out to explore should have returned."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ran Ran followed Kang Shin-mu closely. Her figure was slim and alluring, especially when she was wearing a tight black dress, which showed off her exquisite figure.
She whispered to Kang Shin-mu, "My Black Phoenix Heart Destruction has been cultivated to the Heaven Stage. It was originally at the Dragon Stage, but with the help of the Phoenix Spirit Fire Stone, I suddenly broke through."
"Hmm?"
Kang Shin-mu's face lit up when he heard that. "That's good news!
The Black Phoenix Heart Destruction seems to be related to the power of the Phoenix. I didn't expect the Phoenix Spirit Fire Stone to have such an effect. It's really amazing … "
In comparison, Kang Shin-mu's progress in cultivating the Divine Dragon Tyrant Body Art and Sunset Shadow Flowing Flash was not as fast as Ran Ran.
After all, he had been wandering around for the past year, and had not focused on cultivating these two high-grade Source Dragon Martial Techniques. Ranran, on the other hand, had focused on cultivating the Dark Phoenix Heart Exterminating Technique, and in just a year, she had directly broken through to the Dragon Realm.
Now, with the help of the Phoenix Spirit Fire Stone, she had broken through to the Heaven Stage.
Once a high-grade Source Dragon Martial Skill was cultivated to the Heaven Stage, it was a qualitative leap!
Coupled with Ran Ran's Black Jade Extreme Breaker power, her lethality was probably on par with Xiao Yuhua and Xiao Bai. One had to know that when the two of them raised their lethality with all their might, they were already outstanding among their peers.
It was already very impressive that Ran Ran could be on par with them even though she was one level lower in cultivation.
"I still have a Rising Dragon Marrow, and I just consumed it. I'm just waiting for the Black Phoenix Heart Destruction to break through to the Saint Stage.
Then, my battle prowess will be even stronger, "Ran Ran continued.
She saw that Kang Shin-mu was happy, and she was happy too.
However, as a woman, she could still keenly feel that after returning this time, Kang Shin-mu seemed to be different from before.
As for what exactly was different, she could not feel it. It was just that … she felt that Kang Shin-mu's mind was not as focused as before. Sometimes, it would be a little erratic.
Could it be because of the Demon God Race Princess?
As for what happened between Kang Shin-mu and Su Yi in the end, Kang Shin-mu did not tell the others. After all, this was a personal matter, and there was no need to tell them.
If this matter would affect them, Kang Shin-mu would definitely tell them in advance.
Therefore, Kang Shin-mu did not find anything wrong with Ran Ran.
He nodded and said, "Keep it up. The situation is getting more and more serious. We must become stronger in order to have a foothold in such an environment."
This was the truth.
The five of them chatted as they walked toward the Emperor Xi Formation.
Along the way, they met an "old acquaintance," White Scorpion Qian Bing. However, when she saw Kang Shin-mu and the others, Qian Bing's face immediately turned pale. Then, she turned and quickly ran away.
"This Qian Bing, why is she so afraid when she sees us?"
Kang Shin-mu felt a little strange. "Did something happen between you and her last year when I wasn't around?"
Xiao Yuhua looked at Qian Bing's fleeing figure and said with a faint smile, "Nothing happened. It's just that Qian Bing's team encountered us once in the Void Crack Battlefield. She brought people and wanted to attack us, but we taught them a lesson."
"From then on, Qian Bing could only take a detour when she saw us. Her entire team combined could not break through Ran Ran's defense. Haha!"
