Another Ghost Practitioner of the second level of the Super Realm, only this one seemed to be more intelligent. Generally… an enemy of this sort would also possess relatively higher strength.

Seeing this speaking Ghost Practitioner, Lin Yun was not too surprised. He had already encountered too many such opponents when he had stormed the Heavenly Principle Tower.

"Kill!"

Without a second word, Lin Yun, carrying the Bloodthirsty Sword, charged forward.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Very soon, Lin Yun began fighting with the Ghost Practitioner.

Indeed, after a substantial increase in his Mental Strength, Lin Yun found it easier to deal with the spiritual attacks of these Ghost Practitioners, and his various responses became more agile, which made fighting this Ghost Practitioner even more effortless.

However, suddenly, a thought struck Lin Yun,

"Little Blood, right? I know you've hidden your strength. Previously, I didn't say anything, but now, while dealing with these Ghost Practitioners, you also want to absorb some Spiritual Energy. So, shouldn't you also put in some extra effort now?" Lin Yun spoke slowly.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Hearing what Lin Yun said, the blood-colored radiance from the Bloodthirsty Sword flickered again, signaling indignation, explanation, and more.

"You don't intend to put in some extra effort? Then... this grey Crystal... perhaps I could refine it slowly outside. After all, the strength of these Ghost Practitioners doesn't seem too powerful, and it might not be necessary for me to enhance my Mental Strength first..." Lin Yun spoke in a ghostly tone.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The Bloodthirsty Sword quivered even more intensely, finally releasing a sense of compromise.

"Boom——"

The next moment, more of the Bloodthirsty Sword's power merged into Lin Yun's body, unleashing an even more potent force towards the Ghost Practitioner.

"Did it really hide its strength?"

Seeing this unfold, Lin Yun inwardly took a deep breath, unable to help but curse silently.

The sentience of the Bloodthirsty Sword was indeed cunning. He had only thought of this possibility on a whim, testing it out, and it turned out to be true, further confirming the devious nature of the sword's spirit.

It seemed that he indeed needed to be more cautious of this fellow, lest one day he truly got outwitted by it.

Of course, these thoughts merely flickered through Lin Yun's mind. His pure power wrapped around them, preventing them from leaking out, for if the spirit within the Bloodthirsty Sword sensed it, Lin Yun wasn't sure if it would "bleed" from anger, but it would definitely become even less obedient.

"Puff!"

With an increase in overall strength, Lin Yun finally managed to slay the second-level Ghost Practitioner in the Super Realm. The practitioner had intended to flee but failed to escape.

"They even know to flee now. Luckily, my strength has increased a lot, or I might not have been able to keep them. It seems the Ghost Practitioners further ahead are becoming increasingly difficult to handle..." Lin Yun said softly.

As he spoke, Lin Yun's Mental Strength spread out, beginning to search for any grey Crystals.

As expected, Lin Yun found another grey Crystal at the place where the Ghost Practitioner had fallen.

Both its size and aura were almost identical to the ones he had encountered before.

"Do you want to absorb it directly, or shall I ingest it first and then you can absorb from me?" Lin Yun glanced at the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand and said.

"Buzz——"

The Bloodthirsty Sword emitted a massive blood-red light, and in the next instant, it swept towards the grey Crystal in Lin Yun's hand.

The grey Crystal transformed into a vast current of Spiritual Energy, quickly flowing into the Bloodthirsty Sword.

This all happened outside of his body, enabling Lin Yun to see the process more directly and clearly.

"The abilities of this Bloodthirsty Sword are growing stronger. At first, it needed to touch someone's wound or vital blood to absorb their essence, but, judging by the current developments, it might not be long before it wouldn't need to do even that. Just drawing the sword could suffice to absorb the vital blood and various powers of surrounding powerhouses..."

Lin Yun's expression changed slightly as he thought to himself.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Soon, huge and pure surges of Spiritual Energy were output, entering Lin Yun's mind space, causing his Mental Strength to surge again.

This time, Lin Yun did not bother with it but instead looked up and continued walking forward.

A few minutes later, the gray Crystal completely disappeared, and the commotion in Lin Yun's mind space quickly subsided.

At this moment, Lin Yun's twelfth-level Peak Mental Strength surged greatly, but it still hadn't reached its limit. Naturally, it did not transform, preventing him from reaching the Half Step Super Realm level.

"Although the level of these Spiritual Energies is high and the amount is not small, compared to the total Spiritual Energy of the twelfth-level Peak, it seems a bit insufficient. It looks like I need at least two or three more of these gray Crystals to elevate my Mental Strength to the Half Step Super Warrior level.

And to reach the Super Realm level, at the very least, I would need ten or eight, not to mention that my understanding has to keep up with this..."

Lin Yun shook his head and said.

Since it wasn't enough, then just continue.

Seeing that Little White and Little Blue also got a good amount of Spiritual Energy inside the Bloodthirsty Sword, Lin Yun felt much more at ease. He was worried that Little White and Little Blue would be at a disadvantage while competing for Spiritual Energy with the others.

"Yin... and Yang attributes of Spirituality..."

Lin Yun's lips curled up slightly.

The attributes of Little White and Little Blue were too miraculous, otherwise, they might not have been able to compete with the others.

Feeling the frustration and frenzy of the other party, he couldn't help but want to feel pleased.

Half an hour later, Lin Yun encountered enemies once again.

This time, it was finally not just one enemy, but three—three Ghost Practitioners, all at the second level of the Super Realm.

By now, Lin Yun was almost certain that on this level of the Heavenly Principle Tower space, the lowest level enemy was probably at the Super Realm second level.

"Kill!"

The great battle was on the verge of erupting, and both sides once again collided.

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"

Three Ghost Practitioners launched powerful mental attacks towards Lin Yun. At this moment, Lin Yun was extremely grateful that he had elevated his Mental Strength a lot, otherwise, he would be in trouble now.

"Junior, die!"

"Daring to barge into the Netherworld Mountains, truly seeking death!"

As each Ghost Practitioner moved to kill Lin Yun, they kept angrily shouting.

"Are these Ghost Practitioners real or fake? The Netherworld Mountains, what kind of place is that? Could it be an actual place in the universe? Along the way, I have already encountered many Ghost Practitioners at the second level of the Super Realm. It's very rare to hear of a power possessing so many Super Warriors..."

Hearing the words of these Ghost Practitioners, Lin Yun's expression flickered as he thought to himself.

The behavior of these Ghost Practitioners was too realistic.

"Puff! Puff!"

With one swing of his sword, Lin Yun once again cleaved the bodies of two Ghost Practitioners in an instant.

By now, Lin Yun had scattered these three Ghost Practitioners many times, and their aura had become much more chaotic and weak.

"We are no match for this human, let's go!"

"Retreat!"

Just then, these three Ghost Practitioners, finally terrorized by Lin Yun's assault, began to rapidly back away, both shocked and furious.
