As Chen Luo smiled, while Long Ji was shocked, Linglong, who was extremely disappointed, suddenly stood up and interrupted Chen Luo's continued narration:
"Young Master Chen! Stop talking!"
With her large, beautiful eyes fixed on the captivating young man before her with a heart-wrenching gaze, Linglong bit her tender lips, hardened her heart, and said resolutely:
"Young Master Chen, whatever you want, just say it directly! After Linglong gives it to you! Please leave our Hanhai Sect immediately!"
"Linglong never wants to see you spewing lies like this again!!"
Tears slid down the maiden's face, and before they could fall, they solidified into flawless, pure white gemstones.
The tears of a Dragon Maiden are among the most beautiful gemstones in the world, but they only appear when a Dragon Maiden is truly heartbroken to the extreme.
Seeing Linglong cry, Long Ji panicked again and quickly pulled her precious daughter into her arms.
Her soft bosom buried Linglong's head deeply, and the warm fragrance made Linglong feel as if she had returned to the warmest harbor. Linglong could no longer hold back the grievances in her heart and cried loudly in her mother's arms:
"Wuwuwu... Mother..."
Although Long Ji felt sorry for her daughter, she still cast an apologetic glance at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo rubbed his nose helplessly. Well, speaking the truth too much, due to his own understanding, had inadvertently led Linglong to be too clever for her own good.
Gently patting her daughter's back, Long Ji's gentle voice sounded in Linglong's ear: "My foolish daughter, you've misunderstood Chen Luo."
"Everything he said just now, Mother believes to be true."
"He didn't lie to you; it's just that his talent in the path of spiritual energy might have surpassed our normal understanding."
Linglong's cries suddenly stopped. She looked up, her eyes teary, and asked weakly, "Really?"
Before Long Ji could answer, Chen Luo's honest voice came from beside them: "I, Chen Luo, never lie. Rest assured, I'm telling you the truth."
"Also, thank you, Linglong, for the cultivation materials you found for me these past few days. Although I've never cultivated spiritual energy before, after encountering these materials, I am certain that on this path, my talent for cultivating spiritual energy should be unprecedented."
Linglong chuckled upon hearing this: "Chen Luo, you're so shameless! How can you praise yourself like that?!"
But Long Ji's gaze was extremely serious: "Young Master Chen, even if your aptitude for cultivating spiritual energy is stronger than what the Four Seasons assessment can detect, how can you be confident in overcoming the True Dragon Tribulation?"
"Even the Supreme Body among humans might not have the confidence to directly confront the mutated True Dragon Tribulation when they are at the ninth stage of the Dao Path! And the Supreme Body is already ranked among the top ten powerful physiques in the cultivation world!"
Facing Long Ji's doubt, Chen Luo simply shook his head calmly: "The Supreme Body cannot, because it is weak. I can, because I am Chen Luo."
Looking at the young man's determined eyes, Long Ji felt a moment of daze. She had always thought Chen Luo was a peaceful and carefree young man, but at this moment, she realized that beneath this peaceful exterior, the young man possessed an unyielding pride.
After speaking, under the curious gazes of Long Ji and Linglong, Chen Luo seemed to remember something and raised his hand:
"Words are not enough. Coincidentally, after reading a hundred scriptures for these seven days, I've gained some insights. Your Majesty Long Ji, please guide me and see if my spiritual energy cultivation meets your standards."
Long Ji was stunned. She had reviewed all the materials Linglong had sent over the past few days; they were all very basic, broad but not deep, with no in-depth explanations.
Moreover, for cultivation, she hadn't asked Linglong to send any cultivation techniques, had she?
According to Young Master Chen's words, he had never cultivated before and had no cultivation techniques. So what was he doing?
Long Ji suddenly seemed to recall something, and her dragon eyes lit up!
No, that's not right, there is one cultivation technique!
The most basic and outdated technique that all spiritual cultivators on this continent know, the "Ling Wen"!
The next moment, before Long Ji could ask further questions, Chen Luo slowly closed his eyes.
Hoo...
In this completely sealed gem hall, the wind suddenly began to blow.
Long Ji's chest, wet from her daughter's tears, revealed her full and beautiful contours. And the dampness caused by these tears, under the inexplicable wind, brought a hint of coolness, but she couldn't pay attention to it now.
"Mother... What is Chen Luo doing?" Linglong looked at Chen Luo, who had closed his eyes, with disbelief. She had accepted the statement that Chen Luo had never cultivated spiritual energy, but what was happening before her made her hesitant to believe her own guess.
Long Ji stroked Linglong's head and nodded gently, looking at Chen Luo with a complex gaze: "Yes, he is undergoing the first tribulation of the Dao Path! Drawing spiritual energy into the body!"
"But the speed of this spiritual energy absorption..." Linglong stared in shock at the pure white vortex gradually forming above Chen Luo's head – that was the external manifestation of spiritual energy condensed to its extreme!
In just a moment, this vortex of spiritual energy had expanded to cover the entire gem hall, and even the color of the spiritual vortex was becoming increasingly rich!
One must know that as an incomplete True Dragon Body, Linglong could only form a tangible spiritual vortex when absorbing spiritual energy after reaching the ninth stage of the Dao Path.
But the young man before her had only just begun to cultivate! And this commotion was something even Linglong at her current level couldn't achieve!
Suddenly, Linglong's heart jolted. The first tribulation of the Dao Path feared the most was the immense damage that berserk spiritual energy could inflict on the human body after entering it.
After all, the foundation of cultivators moving mountains and overturning seas was these seemingly beautiful points of light!
But this gradually gathering vortex of spiritual energy, even she wouldn't dare to absorb it directly!
Yet, judging by the momentum, Chen Luo was actually going to use this berserk spiritual energy to build his foundation?!!
"No!!!" Linglong rushed forward, trying to stop Chen Luo.
But Chen Luo was faster!
Boom!
The vortex formed by the berserk spiritual energy roared and struck Chen Luo's Baihui acupoint from above!
In Linglong's horrified gaze, the massive vortex of spiritual energy poured into Chen Luo's Tianling Baihui like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
Chen Luo's entire body was instantly and completely enveloped by the white vortex, which was so dense it was visible to the naked eye!
Even standing beside him, Linglong felt a powerful spiritual pressure that she could not ignore.
"Mother! Save Chen Luo!!!"
But Long Ji showed no intention of acting. In her clear dragon eyes, the brilliance of immortal essence flickered.
Under the use of immortal essence, Long Ji could see everything within the berserk spiritual energy.
Long Ji's voice seemed to be a whisper, filled with an almost irrepressible shock:
"Unprecedented! Unparalleled! This is a true prodigy!!!"
"The most robust, most ferocious Supreme Body? The Ten Great Physiques of the Primeval Earth? Heh! This is the number one physical body and the number one spiritual energy aptitude throughout all of history!!!"
