Chapter 73 Five Months Later, Becoming Stronger
Five months later—
Ling Yue sat in his deluxe dormitory, feeling the spiritual energy within his body.
In the past five months, his spiritual power has advanced from the Zhan Realm to the peak of the Chi Realm, and he is only one step away from the Chuan Realm. As for why he cultivated so quickly, don't ask, the answer is that he cheated.
However, physical development is relatively slow. It's only a long way to go from the early stage of the Pool Realm to the peak of the Pool Realm, and to reach the River Realm on the body-refining path without any shortcuts.
Ling Yue stretched out his palm, and a ball of crimson flame appeared in his hand. Ling Yue simply clenched his fist, and the crimson flame in his hand exploded.
After several months of in-depth research, he has learned how to control the violent power within his body. At least, he can now use it reasonably without any problem. Moreover, he calls the violent power 'darkening', which he feels is more in line with this form of power.
In his 'darkened' form, he can ignore his physical limits and unleash several ultimate moves in a short time, and the damage is not as simple as 1+1.
Thinking of this, Ling Yue waved his left hand, and a five-colored stone in the shape of a floating top appeared in front of him. The five colors of the stone were slightly dim, and now Ling Yue could reach out and touch it, so he wouldn't be controlled by the Five Spirit King's destructive desires.
Ling Yue slowly brought the Five Elemental Lock close to the Five Elemental Core. The light from the Five Elemental Core was absorbed by the Five Elemental Lock in a form invisible to the naked eye. Correspondingly, Ling Yue's mental power was also slowly increasing.
These days, Ling Yue has been relying on this Five Elemental Core to rapidly improve his cultivation level. Otherwise, if he relied solely on his own cultivation, he would definitely have to wait until after the New Year to reach the Pool Realm, and a year later to reach the River Realm. But his current strength at the peak of the Pool Realm is proof of that.
"By the way, System, will my Five Elements Lock show signs of aging or excessive internal energy consumption?"
Ling Yue silently recited the system's name, and the Ai Li System instantly appeared in front of him.
"Hehe, has the host finally thought of this system?!" the Ellie System said, hands on hips and puffing out its cheeks.
Ling Yue remained unmoved and nodded sincerely. "The system is just a tool. If it's useful, then call it a tool; if it's not, then leave it."
"Waaah~ If you treat this system like this, I'll cry, you know?" The Ellie System covered her eyes with both hands, pretending to wipe away tears.
"However, since the host has thought of it, then this system will reluctantly answer you."
The answer is yes, but since your Five Element Lock is practically brand new, there's no need to worry so soon. Furthermore, the Five Element Core is composed of the power of the five elements plus the power of oblivion.
If the host's power of forgetting is greater than the power of the five elements, then the power of forgetting can be used to restore the balance between the two energies.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue's eyes widened, and some ancient concepts suddenly appeared in his mind: When the power of the five elements is exhausted, the forgotten warriors will reappear in the world, and the source of the five elements within the guardians of the five elements is composed of the power of the five elements and the power of oblivion, thus becoming the complete Five Elements King.
"So that means I can transform into the Forgotten Warrior again? The Golden Lion??"
"Yes, host. Moreover, thanks to the universe's corrective capabilities, you don't need to worry about the power of oblivion being weak. It will adapt to the world, and ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether to create a new generation of oblivion warriors or to control the power of oblivion yourself!"
Ling Yue exclaimed, "Good heavens!" His drowsiness vanished instantly. "I originally thought this broken system could only transform into the first-generation beast-type warrior, then I thought it could also transform into the Five Elemental Guardians, and now you're telling me it can also transform into the Forgotten Warrior?!"
The system's ability to make empty promises is something to look forward to. Could it be that later on there's an 'indestructible' final ball, or some incredibly fast motorcycle?
But Ling Yue was completely swayed by this. At this moment, he was already filled with excitement and couldn't wait to break through to the Chuan Realm!
Meanwhile, Chen Muye outside found Yuan Gang.
"I want you to give Ling Yue and Lin Qiye a holiday." Chen Muye sat opposite Yuan Gang, his tone very serious.
Yuan Gang, still confused, said helplessly, "Captain Chen, this is closed training. We don't get a holiday for the New Year. You've been through the same thing, don't you know that?"
"Then grant Ling Yue and Lin Qiye leave and let them come back with us." Chen Muye's tone remained resolute.
“This is against the rules…” Yuan Gang continued to insist on his idea.
After a brief standoff, Chen Muyi finally revealed the reason: "Our 136th squad discovered that many small rats had infiltrated Cangnan."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Rat? With so many instructors in our training camp, how dare they!?"
Chen Muye, on the other hand, was very knowledgeable: "The young master of the Baili Group alone has a bounty of 800 million, not to mention the dual-god agent Lin Qiye, and the most special owner of the forbidden realm, Ling Yue."
Furthermore, according to rumors, the Ancient God Church highly values Ling Yue of the Five Elements Locked Ruins and is attempting to entice him to join their ranks. They will also try their best to recruit Lin Qiye, but if that fails, they will likely use even stronger forces to abduct Ling Yue and nip Lin Qiye in the bud.
Chen Muye's tone was very cold, and it was clear that he was very angry about the actions of the Ancient God Church.
As for why they demanded that Ling Yue be kidnapped instead of killing him and Lin Qiye together, it was because the Ancient God Church was very curious about Ling Yue, the owner of the Five Elemental Locks, and wanted to entice him to become a member of the "believers".

"Brother Yue, why do you look so excited?" Lin Qiye noticed Ling Yue's unusual behavior at a glance. If Ling Yue was already excited enough on a normal day, he was like he had taken stimulants and was full of energy.
Ling Yue smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Qi Ye, I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but all I got in return were strange looks. I'm not pretending anymore, I'll come clean. I'm actually a prophet!"
Even though Lin Qiye was used to Ling Yue's flirtatious remarks, he was still not immune to them.
"Oh, what are you predicting?"
"I predict we'll have a holiday soon!"
"How could that be? We're not in a closed-off area—" Before Lin Qiye could speak, he heard a piercing whistle from outside.
"Never mind, let's gather first."
On the training platform, a group of instructors stood in front, while Instructor Hong stood above them, ready to speak.
"Very good. After five months of training, you're starting to look like soldiers..."
"Finally! After a unanimous discussion among our instructors, we've decided to give everyone a break before the next phase begins!"
Starting today, there will be a four-day holiday until the second day of the Lunar New Year! Also, no one is allowed to leave Cangnan. Anyone who violates this rule will bear the consequences.
Lastly, I, Hong Hao, wish everyone a happy 2025! Okay, holiday time!!!
Upon hearing this, Baili Pangpang cheered immediately: "Yay! It's holiday time!"
Lin Qiye looked at Ling Yue with surprise. 'Damn it, he got tricked again!' Lin Qiye cursed himself for not learning his lesson. As for how Ling Yue knew? What else could it be but a rumor? Could Ling Yue really predict the future?
