46: Diligent cultivation, the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!

You have to realize, it was already very late when they returned to school yesterday.

Yet, even under those circumstances, Zhao Shanhe still managed to think about making a trip to the Beast Soul Hall to purchase the inferior beast soul crystals he needed for his Cultivation.

For Lin Yuan, this was already quite a significant favor.

And these ten thousand inferior beast soul crystals were enough for Lin Yuan to Cultivate for a long time.

If one were to follow the previous pace of Cultivation, these ten thousand inferior beast soul crystals would be enough for Lin Yuan to use for at least four months.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan took out that bank card directly from the storage badge.

Inside this bank card were the earnings he had received this time; after deducting the one million used to purchase the inferior beast soul crystals, one million two hundred thousand remained.

"Teacher Zhao, can you do me another favor?"

Zhao Shanhe raised an eyebrow and asked, "What favor?"

"If there is an opportunity, I hope you can help me exchange all of this one million two hundred thousand for Spirit Pills."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise could not help but flash across Zhao Shanhe's face.

"According to market prices, this one million two hundred thousand is enough to buy twenty-four Spirit Pills."

"You kid, what do you need so many Spirit Pills for?"

"Don't you know that if you take too many Spirit Pills at once, it will actually cause side effects?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Alright then, if I have time, I will make another trip to the Beast Soul Hall."

Although Lin Yuan still did not tell him what he needed so many Spirit Pills for, everyone had their own secrets, and Zhao Shanhe did not intend to pry.

"If there is nothing else, I will be leaving first."

Before leaving, Zhao Shanhe did not forget to pat Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said, "In a few days, the hidden dragon ranking will officially open, so work hard."

"As long as you can enter the top ten, I will strive to secure an opportunity for you to represent Modu Beast University in the New Students tournament."

"Alright, Teacher, I understand."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, yet in his calm eyes, flames seemed to be hidden.

His goal was never just the top ten.

He wanted his name... to be ranked at the very top of the hidden dragon ranking!

...

After bidding farewell to Zhao Shanhe, Lin Yuan went directly into the Cultivation room.

Afterwards, he raised his hand and took out one hundred inferior beast soul crystals, piling them up in front of him like a small hill.

It had to be said that the storage badge was extremely convenient.

With this special treasure, no matter where Lin Yuan went, he could carry a large number of inferior beast soul crystals with him.

It was just a pity that this silver badge was only temporarily lent to him by Zhao Shanhe.

If he wanted to own a storage badge of his own, Lin Yuan would have to prove to the Beast Soul Hall that his strength had reached the Beast King Level, and then pay a one million production fee to receive one.

For the current Lin Yuan, although he could afford one million, there was no need for it for the time being.

After all, good steel should be used on the blade.

If this one million were used to enhance his own strength, it would definitely allow his strength to be greatly improved.

Under these circumstances, there was naturally no need to rush to exchange for a storage badge.

Anyway, Zhao Shanhe said he would lend him this silver badge temporarily, but didn't say for how long.

As long as he didn't urge him to return it, he would just keep using it.

For Lin Yuan, the most important thing right now was to improve his own strength.

In a few more days, the hidden dragon ranking would officially open.

And before that, Lin Yuan had to improve his strength to the extreme!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately grabbing an inferior beast soul crystal, closing his eyes, and attempting to absorb the nuclear radiation within.

This time, it only took him ten minutes to completely absorb the nuclear radiation within one inferior beast soul crystal.

The System's notification sound also rang in his ears.

"Ding, congratulations on successfully absorbing nuclear radiation, obtaining: 1000 evolution points!"

However, at this moment, a look of confusion could not help but flash in the depths of Lin Yuan's eyes.

How come he felt... that the time required to absorb the inferior beast soul crystal had decreased?

If he remembered correctly, it originally took at least fifteen minutes to absorb one inferior beast soul crystal.

But this time, he had finished absorbing it in just about ten minutes.

Furthermore, the evolution points obtained had not decreased in the slightest.

"Is it a coincidence, or..." A strange light flickered in the depths of Lin Yuan's eyes.

He did not overthink it and grabbed another inferior beast soul crystal.

Not long after, the System notification sound rang again.

"Ding, congratulations on successfully absorbing nuclear radiation, obtaining: 1000 evolution points!"

This time, it was still exactly ten minutes!

His judgment was not wrong; the time required to absorb the inferior beast soul crystal had indeed shortened!

And it had shortened by nearly one-third!

For Lin Yuan, this was naturally a good thing.

This meant... his Cultivation speed would be greatly improved!

But the question was, why did such a situation occur?

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows slightly and began to calmly review the situation.

Soon, he had two guesses in his heart.

The first possibility was that it was because he had achieved a Breakthrough to the Beast King Level.

After breaking through to the Beast King Level, his efficiency in absorbing energy had also improved accordingly.

And the second possibility was that it was because he had taken the Spirit Pill.

You have to realize, last night, he had taken five Spirit Pills in a row, increasing his talent by five points.

After his talent increased, Lin Yuan could clearly feel that his speed of absorbing energy from the outside world had become faster.

Since that was the case, could his ability to absorb the energy within the inferior beast soul crystals faster also be influenced by the increase in talent?

It was a pity that Lin Yuan no longer had any Spirit Pills on hand.

Otherwise, he could have used experimentation to verify his guess.

Since the reason was unclear for the time being, Lin Yuan naturally had to settle his mind and Cultivate again.

One inferior beast soul crystal after another was absorbed into empty shells by Lin Yuan and casually tossed to the side.

Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had already stayed in the Cultivation room for a full ten hours.

During these ten hours, although Lin Yuan's strength did not change much, he had absorbed a total of sixty inferior beast soul crystals and obtained a full sixty thousand evolution points.

However, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to use these sixty thousand evolution points to strengthen himself.

You have to realize, he now possessed the strength of Beast King Level One Star.

On the path of a Beast Soul Master, the further one went, the greater the difficulty of advancing.

A mere sixty thousand evolution points were not enough for him to achieve the leap from Beast King Level One Star to Beast King Level Two Star.

However, during these ten hours, Lin Yuan had not eaten a single grain of rice or drunk a single drop of water.

When he stood up again, a sense of hunger and fatigue struck him simultaneously, nearly making him unable to even stand steadily.

When Lin Yuan walked out of the Cultivation room, he realized that it was already dusk outside.

He remembered that it was still morning when he went in, but by the time he left the Cultivation room, it was already evening.

Rubbing his ravenous stomach, Lin Yuan immediately walked towards the direction of the cafeteria.

No matter how important Cultivation was, he couldn't go without eating.

If he were to starve himself to death just to improve his strength, that would simply not be worth it.

It seemed that in the future, if he wanted to go into closed-door Cultivation, he would at least need to prepare some food in the storage badge.
