Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 834

"call out!"

Ling Yan Yan waved his hand lightly, and crimson flames shot out, instantly engulfing the man in black.

A heart-wrenching scream echoed for hundreds of feet around. The man in black collapsed to the ground in agony, writhing in agony before finally being burned to ashes.

Ling Yanyan was panting heavily, his forehead covered in fine sweat, clearly indicating that activating the Xuanming Flame was putting a great strain on him.

After all, Ling Yanyan was only at the third stage of the Body Tempering Realm, so using the Xuanming Flame was not easy for him.

"This feels amazing!" Ling Yanyan thought excitedly. "With my current strength, I should be able to rival a ninth-level Body Tempering Realm martial artist."

Ling Yanyan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Ba lying on the ground barely alive, and his eyes grew even colder: "I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"

Xiao Ba's attempt to assassinate him actually helped Ling Yanyan overcome his inner demons.

"Xiao Ba deserved it," the little dragon said, pursing its lips.

Ling Yanyan snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Ling Yanyan not far away.

"Hmm? How did Xiao Ba's body disappear?" Ling Yanyan frowned slightly and carefully examined the surrounding environment, but found nothing.

"Strange, could it be an illusion?" Ling Yan Yan was stunned, because he couldn't sense any presence.

Ling Yan Yan frowned deeply, thinking to himself, "Could it be an illusion?"

"Impossible. Illusion techniques require a lot of Yuan energy. Even a peak Body Tempering Realm martial artist couldn't do it silently." Ling Yanyan secretly guessed, and couldn't help but check the surrounding environment again, but still found nothing.

"Strange," Ling Yanyan thought, his mind filled with doubt. "Could it be that my senses are playing tricks on me?"

Ling Yanyan refused to believe it and continued the examination.

After a long while, they still hadn't found anything.

Ling Yanyan wondered to himself, "How could I not have found anything? Could it really be an illusion?"

Ling Yanyan couldn't figure it out, so he could only give up thinking about it for the time being, and shook his head and sighed, "Alas, perhaps I really did misperceive it."

"Little dragon, let's go." Ling Yanyan turned and left, preparing to return to the palace.

Although he found nothing, he couldn't be bothered to care. Anyway, Xiao Ba was already dead, and even if he told Ling Dingtian, it wouldn't do anything to him.

As for Xiao Ba's corpse, Ling Yanyan didn't care at all.

A moment later, Ling Yanyan returned to the Ling residence and headed straight for the martial arts arena, where he encountered Xiao Yun.

"Ling Yanyan, where have you been?" Xiao Yun asked with a frown when he saw Ling Yanyan appear.

"It's nothing, I just went out for a stroll," Ling Yanyan said casually, without saying anything more.

Xiao Yun glanced at Ling Yanyan's expression, a hint of suspicion flashing between his brows, as if he had sensed something.

The calmer Ling Yanyan appeared, the more strange he felt.

"Ling Yanyan, why do you look so pale?" Xiao Yun asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was probably too tired yesterday and didn't sleep well after a whole night's rest," Ling Yanyan said with a forced smile, though it looked more like a grimace.

"I see. Go back and rest. Remember to report to the training ground tomorrow," Xiao Yun instructed, not noticing anything amiss with Ling Yanyan.

"Yes, I understand." Ling Yanyan nodded.

After Xiao Yun left, Ling Yanyan immediately returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted his state.

The next morning, hundreds of young people gathered at the training ground, all looking eager to try their skills.

"Today's training intensity will be doubled!"

An old man spoke indifferently, his tone carrying a hint of authority. He glanced at the crowd, then strode to the edge of the square, reached into the air with one hand, grabbed two stones, and tossed them to the crowd.

The stone landed with a loud thud that echoed throughout the entire training ground, followed by the sound of bones breaking.

A powerful aura spread out, enveloping hundreds of people. Every young man and woman had a pained expression on their face, gritted their teeth, beads of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads, and even their bodies trembled.

"Is this the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm? Truly worthy of the strength of a Qi Condensation Realm expert." Ling Yan Yan was extremely astonished. He had never expected that the power of the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm would be so terrifying!
