“This Lin Yun still has more tricks!” The two watching silver-armoured stone statues exclaimed in amazement.
They had thought Lin Yun’s earlier display of strength was his limit, with no more techniques or trump cards left.
His sudden outburst completely exceeded their expectations.
In the battlefield.
“Again!”
Lin Yun, bursting with power, swung his sword toward the two silver-armoured stone statues.
“Number Three, combine!”
The two statues instantly merged, their size increasing dramatically. Their massive fist, like a sandbag, smashed toward Lin Yun’s attack.
Boom!
The sword clashed with the giant fist, their tremendous forces colliding and exploding, shaking the surroundings.
Despite the immense power in Lin Yun’s strike, the opponent was pushed back a few steps but not as dishevelled as before.
“They have such a technique?” A glint of surprise flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.
“Lin Yun, as the Captain warned, passing the intermediate test isn’t so easy,” the combined silver-armoured statues said.
“Don’t worry, the outcome won’t change!” Lin Yun grinned.
With that, he slashed again, his sword transforming into a tidal wave that surged toward them.
“Lin Yun, you can’t pass the intermediate test. Go train more and come back,” the statues said, swinging their fist with ferocious force.
As their attacks were about to clash again.
Dragon Emperor Bone, activate!
Lin Yun’s Dragon Emperor Bone unleashed a radiant glow, its contained power erupting.
Having already used numerous techniques, adding the Dragon Emperor Bone on top of them caused the power of this strike to soar dramatically.
Their attacks were already close. When Lin Yun activated the Dragon Emperor Bone, his sword instantly struck the statues’ weapon-like fist.
Boom!
The terrifying force sent the combined silver-armoured statues flying backward.
As they flew, Lin Yun rushed forward, his sword striking again!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several consecutive attacks, the statues were hurled far away, crashing to the ground, their combined form splitting apart.
“Stop, stop, you’ve won!”
Seeing Lin Yun charge again, the two statues shouted urgently.
It was practically a crushing defeat!
After Lin Yun used the Dragon Claw, he had already widened the gap, gaining a significant advantage and confidence in victory. The statues’ combination narrowed that advantage, but Lin Yun still held the lead.
The Dragon Emperor Bone’s activation widened the gap again, utterly overpowering them.
“You two, no offence meant,” Lin Yun said with a grin.
“I never expected this guy to have more tricks!” the black mist figure murmured.
“This time, Number Three and Number Four got thrashed again,” the watching statues sighed.
Lin Yun sheathed his sword and approached the black mist figure.
“Captain, have I passed the intermediate test?” Lin Yun asked, smiling.
“I underestimated you. Your dragon clan techniques are astonishingly powerful. To reach such strength at the Myriad Things realm in this continent, you’re practically a monster,” the black mist figure said, his view of Lin Yun shifting again.
When Lin Yun insisted on starting the intermediate test, the black mist figure had thought he was overreaching.
Lin Yun proved himself with his strength.
“So, am I promoted to Skyfire Guard now?” Lin Yun asked, grinning.
“Correct. Take this silver armour. You are now officially a Skyfire Guard, a true member of the Skyfire Temple.” The black mist figure presented a set of silver armour.
Lin Yun beamed, happily accepting it.
“Return the probationary guard’s black armour,” the black mist figure said.
As a Skyfire Guard, Lin Yun no longer needed the black armour, which had to be returned.
“Alright.”
Lin Yun handed over the black armour.
“By the way, Captain, can I start the advanced test next?” Lin Yun asked.
“Of course, but think carefully. Only Mo Bai has passed the advanced test in this world, and he did so step by step, not rushing from preliminary to advanced. It took him a long time. Your recent performance was impressive, but you’re likely not ready for the advanced test,” the black mist figure cautioned.
He added, “Also, you just passed the intermediate test and haven’t chosen your reward.”
“No matter. I’ll choose the rewards together after passing the advanced test. It’s more convenient,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
The black mist figure and the nearby statues were stunned.
This guy was so confident, as if passing the advanced test was a certainty.
“If that’s your request, so be it. For the advanced test, you must knock me out of this circle to pass.”
The black mist figure drew a circle about 100 metres in diameter around them.
Lin Yun and the black mist figure stood in the centre.
“Knock you out of the circle, Captain?” Lin Yun paused.
As a Skyfire Leader, the black mist figure’s strength was obvious.
Pushing him out of the circle would undoubtedly be a significant challenge.
“What, scared? The advanced test isn’t easy to pass,” the black mist figure said.
“Not at all. I like challenging battles,” Lin Yun replied with a smile.
“Don’t worry. Since you’re at the third level of the Myriad Things realm, I’ll suppress my strength. Your advanced test will be easier than for a Dominion realm cultivator, but it remains extremely difficult!” the black mist figure said.
“By the way, Captain, you haven’t told me what ranks come after Skyfire Guard,” Lin Yun said.
The black mist figure had only mentioned probationary guard and Skyfire Guard earlier. When Lin Yun asked more, he was told it was pointless until he passed the initial tests.
Clearly, the black mist figure hadn’t expected Lin Yun to pass both tests.
“After probationary guard and Skyfire Guard come Skyfire Leader, then Skyfire Lieutenant, and further beyond is Skyfire General,” the black mist figure explained.
