Chapter 0093: Flying Boots

Zhao Guangwei's face twitched in anger. He had thought there might still be a chance to plead his case, but now it seemed there was none at all.

Everyone was shocked because a high-grade pill like the Solid Heart Pill usually required a quiet place to consume and slowly refine its effects.

But Qin Yun ate it as if it were candy, which would significantly impact the absorption of its medicinal power.

"There's still the second round of competition!" Dean Zhang hurriedly said.

Qin Yun felt the medicinal power surging within him, making him somewhat uncomfortable. "When does it start? Surely we need some time, right? Look, many students are injured!"

Zhao Guangwei noticed Qin Yun struggling to suppress the medicinal power and sneered. "The second round starts immediately! The reward for this round is much better than the Solid Heart Pill—it's an advanced Xuan-level martial technique!"

All the students were invigorated, even Zhao De was excited.

An advanced Xuan-level martial technique was extremely precious. Even within the Blue Spirit Star Palace, it wasn't easy to learn.

Qin Yun looked at Dean Zhang, who nodded.

"We can start the second round now!" Zhao Guangwei declared.

The Solid Heart Pill was an exquisite spirit pill with very powerful medicinal properties. If one did not focus on refining it, the medicinal power could be wasted or even harm the body.

In this situation, if Qin Yun wanted to continue participating in the second round, he would have to let the medicinal power dissipate, effectively wasting a Solid Heart Pill.

Everyone felt heartbroken that Qin Yun was wasting such a valuable pill.

Qin Yun, however, was not too worried. He had cultivated the Profound Sun Art to a profound level, allowing him to refine medicinal power quickly.

"What is the second round about?" Qin Yun knew there was a second round but didn't expect it to start so soon.

"It's a speed competition. Run from here to the gate of Hualing Martial Arts Academy. Whoever reaches the gate first gets the advanced Xuan-level martial technique, while second and third place get advanced Ling-level techniques." Dean Zhang added, "Students who have reached the fifth stage of Martial Body can participate. Get ready to start."

Over two hundred students who had reached the fifth stage of Martial Body prepared themselves, ready to go at Dean Zhang's signal.

"Our teachers will wait at the gate!" Zhao Guangwei's face was filled with confidence, as if his son's victory was assured. As he left, he smiled at Zhao De.

Zhao De looked at Qin Yun, who was closing his eyes and frowning, and sneered. "Even without suppressing the medicinal power, you won't be my match in this competition."

Seeing Qin Yun standing still, the other students secretly rejoiced. They didn't think they could win first place, but they were confident about second or third.

If Qin Yun participated, he would take up one of the top three spots, reducing their chances.

Qin Yun sat cross-legged and began refining the medicinal power. He had thought he could suppress the power of the Solid Heart Pill, but he underestimated the potency of the exquisite spirit pill and had to focus on refining it.

"The second round of the speed competition begins now!" Dean Zhang announced.

From the garden entrance to the gate of Hualing Martial Arts Academy, the route was not straight; it required many turns before reaching the large Martial Arts Field and then a straight dash to the gate.

Dean Zhang soared into the air, flying toward the gate.

The students running on the ground envied Dean Zhang's ability to fly. If only they could fly, they would surely win...

"Look at Zhao De, he's flying!" a student suddenly shouted loudly.

"Look at those boots... Those are flying spirit artifacts! Damn, he's using a spirit artifact!"

"Who cares? He's from the Blue Spirit Star Palace. I heard his grandfather holds a significant position there."

"With his father being a teacher and his grandfather having a high status, getting a pair of flying boots is normal."

Everyone watched Zhao De, floating in the air, with envy and jealousy, feeling quite annoyed.

Zhao De wore a pair of glowing blue boots. Although he was floating in the air, his speed was far slower than Dean Zhang's, and he swayed unsteadily, clearly using them for the first time.

...

At the starting point, only Qin Yun remained alone, as everyone else had gone to the gate of Hualing Martial Arts Academy.

"So I'm about to reach the sixth stage of Martial Body. No wonder I couldn't suppress it! I hope I can catch up!" Qin Yun was both delighted and helpless. In this state, he couldn't participate in the speed competition.

His three major meridians, nourished by the miraculous medicinal power of the Solid Heart Pill, rapidly strengthened and connected, almost merging together.

The medicinal power contained within the Solid Heart Pill was also Nine Yang Qi. Due to his Nine Yang Soul Core, he absorbed the most of it.

The Heart Meridian transformed and grew stronger first!

Due to consuming the Profound Heart Grass, after cultivating the Profound Yellow Heart Meridian, his Bone Meridian and entire network of veins became incredibly sturdy and expanded.

Now, with the three major meridians connected and under the impact of the powerful medicinal power of the Solid Heart Pill, they were further strengthened, making his meridians even more resilient.

"At this rate, I might cultivate the Profound Yellow Bones..."

As the medicinal power gradually weakened, Qin Yun exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and instantly condensed Inner Essence!

The Inner Essence flowed through his expanded and strengthened meridians, surging throughout his body, reaching every part smoothly.

Qin Yun deeply felt the immense strength generated by the Inner Essence rushing through his body, causing him to feel slightly excited and marvel inwardly, "This is the feeling of releasing Inner Essence from Inner Qi!"

This sensation was entirely different from the Inner Essence condensed through the Dragon-Forging Six Styles.

The Inner Essence from the Dragon-Forging Six Styles was very violent and difficult to control.

"I finally broke through to the sixth stage of Martial Body! Teacher, wait for me. I will definitely reach the ninth stage of Martial Body before I turn twenty!" Qin Yun's eyes shone brightly with unwavering confidence.

He looked at the wobbling Zhao De in the distance and sneered, thinking, "With the sixth stage of Martial Body, my restricted Fire Cloud Step can finally unleash its full power!"

He circulated the Fire Cloud Inner Essence, surging it into his legs, and a faint purple-gold flame erupted from his feet.

Whoosh!

His legs shook, sending out a burst of air!

With a powerful leap, he covered several hundred meters in the blink of an eye, soaring into the air.

Qin Yun's legs moved swiftly, "thump thump thump," stepping through the air as he sped forward, covering dozens of meters in an instant.

In the speed competition, the fastest was Zhao De, wearing his flying boots!

As they were about to reach the gate, someone suddenly shouted, "Look behind you..."

Zhao Guangwei, who had been waiting at the gate with high spirits, immediately froze when he saw Qin Yun stepping through the air toward him.
