Chapter 488: Chapter 400: Beidou Realm 2

’Comparisons will be the death of you.’

He broke through to the Beidou Realm, and he still seemed a little dissatisfied.

But so many people spend half their lives just to reach 5-star, 6-star, or even 7-star.

Some even practice Martial Arts for a lifetime and still fail to reach the 7-star realm.

Let alone breaking through from 7-star to the Star Tempering Realm.

Not many people in the entire Huawu Alliance could accomplish that.

"Uncle, Director Qiao, please don’t announce my realm breakthrough for now!"

"It’s to avoid any unnecessary trouble!"

"By the way, I might also need to take some time off. I have to go to Jingzhao City tomorrow to report on my work to Elder He!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Tang Baichuan turned to Director Qiao. "Should we approve it?"

"Approve it? Absolutely. Just go take care of your own business!"

"You don’t even need to officially request leave from us. When graduation comes, I’ll naturally have a diploma waiting for you!"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. "Okay, thank you, Director Qiao!"

"Don’t be so polite. It’s the least I can do!"

After the few of them finished talking with a smile,

they headed downstairs together.

By now, the lockdown had been lifted, and the Xingwu Guard had withdrawn.

The students, who had nearly been forced to spend the night outside, had also returned to Dormitory Zone 1.

However, none of them dared to go upstairs.

Instead, they stood outside the dormitory building, waiting and discussing something.

The starlight was so brilliant that it made the moonlight seem dim.

Just as Lin Yi, Tang Baichuan, and Director Qiao walked out of the dormitory building,

they saw so many students gathered outside.

Director Qiao’s expression darkened. He frowned and said, "What are you all doing gathered here? Hurry back to your dorms and go to sleep!"

At his words, the students exchanged glances.

Without saying a word, they each started walking back toward the dormitory building.

Just then, Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi walked over.

"Lin Yi, are you okay?"

"I’m fine. You guys were worried, weren’t you?"

Lin Yi grinned.

Seeing this, Tang Baichuan quickly said, "Alright, you all can chat. We’ll be heading back!"

"Xiaoyi, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. If it’s something I can do, I’ll do my best to help you!" Tang Baichuan said with a smile.

Director Qiao also nodded.

After Lin Yi exchanged a few pleasantries with them, Tang Baichuan and Director Qiao left.

"I’m a little hungry. How about you guys come with me to the cafeteria to get something to eat?"

Lin Yi said, rubbing his stomach and smiling at them.

As he finished speaking, Zhou Qi nodded. "You’re not the only one who’s hungry, we’re all starving. Before you came out, Principal Tang and Director Qiao locked down Dormitory Zone 1!"

"No one was allowed in. From the looks of it, if you hadn’t come out today, we wouldn’t have even been able to get back into our dorms!"

Sun Tao also nodded eagerly. "Yeah, yeah, yeah! They even brought in the Xingwu Guard. You can imagine the consequences for anyone who dared to force their way in!"

"Senior Brother Lin, tell us the truth, did you have a breakthrough?" Shen Mengyi asked, blinking.

Lin Yi chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, I broke through one realm!"

A brief reply.

Lin Yi had no intention of explaining further.

And he certainly didn’t want to show off that he had already reached the Beidou Realm.

As his realm increased, Lin Yi’s mindset had also changed a lot.

In the past, he would have had some desire to show off.

Cultivation is not easy.

It has always been a path full of thorns.

The farther and more steadily one wanted to walk, the more one had to sacrifice.

This was true for Sun Tao, and it was true for Zhou Qi and Shen Mengyi as well.

Every advancement wasn’t just a breakthrough in one’s realm or a strengthening of the body.

In fact, one’s mentality was also quietly changing.

The higher one’s realm rose, the weaker the desire to show off became.

Having reached Lin Yi’s current realm,

he no longer cared for so-called bragging.

In the process of cultivation, Lin Yi also slowly came to understand those great experts.

Why, after achieving success and fame,

they would rather give up all that so-called splendor and glory to live in seclusion.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to enjoy the benefits that material wealth brought.

Rather, compared to the trouble and disasters that came with them, those benefits seemed dim and lost their value.

Only those who truly saw through this point

could protect themselves by living a reclusive and anonymous life.

The goal was simply to avoid such troubles knocking at their door.

"Holy shit, what realm are you at now?"

"Take a guess!"

"Star Tempering Realm? No, no, no, you already reached the Star Tempering Realm a long time ago, right? Could it be... the Divine Abyss Realm?"

Sun Tao was completely blown away.

Even though he, Zhou Qi, and Shen Mengyi had already been guessing before this,

when they actually heard Lin Yi admit to his breakthrough with their own ears,

that feeling of shock, admiration, and envy

still instantly washed over them.

’It’s easy to say you’re not envious or jealous when it’s not happening to you.’

Just like Zhou Qi and Sun Tao now.

When they personally heard that Lin Yi had broken through to a new realm,

even a breakthrough from 7-star to the Star Tempering Realm would have been enough to make them envious for a long time.

Not to mention a breakthrough starting from the Star Tempering Realm—that made them lament the unfairness of the heavens even more.

It truly made one sigh, ’With a Qi in this world, why was an Yi ever born?’

When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was already packed with people.

Many students had all come here to get food and eat.

It was just as Zhou Qi and the others had said.

After the dormitory was locked down, these students hadn’t been able to get inside.
