175: Section 175

It seemed as if all the worries and feelings of unease...

Suddenly vanished into thin air.

Lin Yi turned his head: "Are you guys going to practice or not? Who cares what chant I use, as long as it works!"

"We'll practice, we'll practice! Let's start over!"

"Stop laughing, everyone. Be serious. I'm helping you eliminate negative emotions, yet you're all grinning like idiots.

You students of this year are really too difficult to lead!"

"Everyone, follow my lead: One big watermelon..."

"Pfft, hahaha..."

"Sorry, I really can't control myself, hahaha..."

"Stop, stop, we can't keep a straight face with this 'big watermelon' thing!"

...

By the time Lin Yi returned to his residential complex,

The sky had already grown dark.

He saw Deng Long outside the complex entrance, having already waited for a long time.

He was holding a thermos in his hand.

Lin Yi quickly walked over and said apologetically, "Brother Deng, did I keep you waiting long?"

"No, no, I just got here myself. Why are you back so late today?"

Deng Long was from the medical clinic.

He was also specifically arranged by Tang Qinru before she left to deliver meals to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi gave an embarrassed smile: "Today I was saying goodbye to my senior and junior brothers at the Martial Arts Hall, so I'm a bit late!"

"Saying goodbye? Oh, right, you're about to take the Martial Arts Exam, aren't you?"

"It's fine, brother. Don't be too nervous. Just treat it like an ordinary exam. Relaxing your mind is the best way to prepare. If you let yourself get too tense, it will actually be detrimental to your performance!"

Deng Long smiled and offered a few words of comfort.

Lin Yi nodded in response.

After taking the thermos, Lin Yi walked back into the complex.

Back at home, Lin Yi opened the thermos.

There were three dishes in total, all cooked with monster meat.

However, the current Lin Yi had already developed a resistance to low-level monster meat.

In other words, monster meat below 2-stars now had a negligible effect on him.

Sometimes, eating it didn't seem to have any effect at all.

However, the satiety provided by monster meat was still very strong.

It was much more filling than other ordinary foods.

Lin Yi sat at the dining table and finished all the food by himself.

After washing up, he sat on the bed to meditate.

With the time remaining before the Martial Arts Exam, there was exactly one day and two nights left.

In this limited time,

He wanted to push his Realm as much as possible.

He would push it as high as he could.

Thus, he gradually entered the state of the [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique].

As usual, once his mind had completely entered the [Galaxy],

He slowly opened his eyes.

Consequently, he saw that within the vast sea of stars,

A Young Tiger seemed to have come to life, its body emitting a silver-white glow.

It looked as if it were joyfully playing within the sea of stars.

The moment it discovered Lin Yi,

It actually started running toward him...

Chapter 144: Star-Constellation White Tiger, The Martial God Is Born

Lin Yi watched in astonishment as the Young Tiger ran toward him with all its might.

Although they were far apart and the Young Tiger was trying its best,

It simply could not reach Lin Yi's side.

It was as if an invisible wall stood between it and Lin Yi.

Lin Yi could also sense from the aura emitted by the Young Tiger

That it bore no ill will toward him.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of closeness.

It was as if it were seeing a long-lost relative, or perhaps it regarded Lin Yi as its master?

The Young Tiger kept running for a long time.

However, the distance between it and Lin Yi did not decrease at all.

It remained at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

From this, Lin Yi deduced

That there was definitely some kind of barrier between him and the Young Tiger that prevented them from getting too close.

So, Lin Yi quietly stood up.

Since the Young Tiger couldn't come to him, he would go toward the Young Tiger.

Lin Yi's body floated amidst the vast sea of stars.

Since entering the state of the [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique],

He had never tried to take this step.

Every night he would meditate here, listening to the Dao sounds from beyond the firmament.

Using them to improve his cultivation Realm.

Thinking back, in all this time, he hadn't actually explored this sea of stars.

When he extended his leg and lightly stepped forward with his toes,

Suddenly, a ripple spread across the endless abyss.

It was just like stepping on the surface of water.

And yet, it felt solid.

His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled a bit.

Before this, Lin Yi hadn't dared to move recklessly, fearing that once he left his small patch of meditation ground,

He would fall into the endless darkness.

Now it seemed such worries were completely unnecessary.

Having taken the first step, the subsequent ones felt much lighter.

However, he still didn't dare to walk too fast, afraid that a moment of carelessness would lead him to step into a void.

After walking more than a dozen steps, he looked up at the Young Tiger again.

He found that it was no longer making futile struggles.

Instead, it sat there with a curious gaze, watching Lin Yi approach it step by step.

Until Lin Yi himself could not remember how much time had passed or how many steps he had taken,

He was surprised to find that he was getting closer and closer to the Young Tiger.

In other words, the Young Tiger could not approach him,

But he could approach the Young Tiger...

Seeing the distance between the person and the tiger shrinking,

The Young Tiger seemed to grow anxious, pacing back and forth on the spot.

From time to time, it would stand up, looking as if it wanted to pounce on Lin Yi.

Until he stood completely in front of the Young Tiger.

Looking at this little fellow,

He instinctively reached out and stroked the Young Tiger's head.

Immediately, the Young Tiger closed its eyes and lay on the ground with a look of enjoyment.

It even rolled over playfully, exposing its belly for Lin Yi to stroke at will...

However, Lin Yi did not notice

That as he interacted with the Young Tiger,

Beams of starlight throughout the entire starry sky were all shining down upon Lin Yi and the Young Tiger.

At this moment, Lin Yi and the Young Tiger were like they were standing under a spotlight.

The dark parts were the stage; he and the Young Tiger were playing on the stage, with all the starlight concentrated on them.

It was as if the entire Universe was focused on them.
