During the six months of cross-rank special training, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena all demonstrated remarkable strength.
Throughout this period, the three of them faced countless challenges. But no matter the outcome, they persevered, growing stronger with each battle.
However, unlike the sibling duo, Yan never revealed his full strength—he had never once used his Blazing Flame Wings.
Even without relying on his external spirit bone, Yan was still able to defeat multiple Soul King-level opponents through his masterful control of both fire and earth elements.
Over these six months, Lin Zhendong, as their instructor, spent time with them day and night.
He deeply observed the significant changes in Yan.
Yan's temperament had become increasingly composed. No matter what kind of challenge he faced, he always remained calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, methodically formulating strategies for attack and counterattack.
Seeing Yan's growth and progress, Lin Zhendong felt genuinely gratified.
He truly appreciated Yan's talent and dedication, which was why, after the special training ended, he specifically called him over for a more in-depth conversation.
Yan followed behind Lin Zhendong as they walked and talked.
Lin Zhendong spoke first,
"Over the past six months, you three have performed well and greatly improved your strength—especially you."
"Teacher Lin, we have you to thank for designing this cross-rank training plan and arranging various opponents to help us improve."
Yan responded humbly.
Lin Zhendong chuckled,"Alright, no need to be so modest. You've really changed, and I'm pleased to see you focusing all your energy on training."
Yan smiled awkwardly, knowing exactly what Lin Zhendong was referring to.
Previously, his feelings for Hu Liena had been known throughout Spirit Hall Academy.
Hu Liena, being Bibi Dong's chosen successor, was proud and ambitious, naturally uninterested in paying attention to Yan.
Yet, over the past six months, Yan had completely transformed his image, no longer placing Hu Liena at the center of his thoughts and devoting himself entirely to training.
"Teacher Lin, I was immature before. I must have made a fool of myself. From now on, I'll focus on my cultivation and work hard to improve my strength."
"That's the right mindset. You possess a top-tier ancient beast martial soul and dual attributes of fire and earth. Among the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall, your talent is the highest. As long as you dedicate yourself to training, your future achievements will be immeasurable."
"Yes, Teacher Lin, I will remember your guidance."
Lin Zhendong nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly slowed his pace.
"I heard that you obtained an external spirit bone?"
Yan was momentarily stunned, a flicker of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Teacher Lin, so you already knew."
"Of course. I found out the day after you returned to the academy. What surprised me was that you never used it during the entire six months of training. I heard it's a pair of wings?"
"Yes. I call them the Blazing Flame Wings."
Yan speculated in his heart that it was most likely Bibi Dong who had informed Lin Zhendong, but that no longer mattered.
Lin Zhendong continued."With your current combat skills, combined with the ability to fly, you are no longer at a disadvantage against any Soul King-level spirit master."
Hearing Lin Zhendong's affirmation boosted Yan's confidence. He was eager to know what kind of training would come next.
"By the way, Teacher Lin, will you be arranging any other types of special training for us?"
Lin Zhendong nodded and replied,
"Now comes the time to test the results of your training. You will face even harsher and more realistic challenges."
"What kind of challenges?" Yan asked curiously.
Lin Zhendong stroked his graying beard and smiled faintly.
"I can't predict exactly what kind of opponents you'll face because they come from all over the continent. However, they all share a common goal—to prove their strength through spirit battles."
Yan instantly understood Lin Zhendong's meaning.
"Teacher Lin, are you saying that we'll be participating in spirit battles at the Spirit Arena?"
"That's right. Only in the Spirit Arena can you fight without restraint, fully showcasing your true strength. It is also the best place for you to gain battle experience and temper yourselves."
After hearing Lin Zhendong's explanation, Yan felt a surge of excitement.
As a reincarnator, he was well aware of the rules and brutal nature of the Spirit Arena.
Spirit battles included one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles. Regardless of the format, they were filled with unpredictability and danger, making them even more challenging.
"Teacher, will the three of us still be together?"
Lin Zhendong shook his head lightly.
"No, keeping you three together would attract too much attention. I will separate you. This will also serve as an opportunity for you to compete against one another."
"Separate us? You mean different teachers will take each of us to different Spirit Arenas?"
"That's right."
Yan asked eagerly,
"Teacher Lin, when will the new training begin?"
"Don't be in such a hurry. The three of you represent the future of Spirit Hall, so I cannot afford any mistakes. I must report this to the Supreme Pontiff before making a final decision."
Yan realized this was a great opportunity.
"Teacher Lin, if possible, I'd like to invite Elder Chrysanthemum to accompany me. I have many things I wish to learn from him."
"Elder Chrysanthemum?"
Hearing Yan's request, Lin Zhendong frowned slightly.
In his impression, Yue Guan was an eccentric and difficult person to approach.
Moreover, as one of Bibi Dong's closest confidants, Yue Guan was often occupied with various missions. Convincing him to take on this responsibility would not be easy.
"Inviting Elder Chrysanthemum to accompany you might be difficult."
"Teacher Lin, please don't worry. I will personally seek out Elder Chrysanthemum. I believe he will agree."
Seeing Yan's confident demeanor, Lin Zhendong's doubts eased slightly.
He nodded, tacitly approving Yan's request.
"Since you're so confident, go ahead and try. However, I must remind you—your martial soul is fire-attribute. In the Spirit Arena, you should challenge spirit masters whose attributes counter yours, particularly water-attribute opponents. Doing so will not only improve your combat experience but also help you refine your fire attribute abilities."
"Understood. Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Lin."
Lin Zhendong continued,
"Across the continent, the highest concentration of water-attribute spirit masters is in the northeastern region of the Heaven Dou Empire, in SkyWater City. Adjacent to SkyWater City is the capital of the Tokes Province, where you will find the Tokes Grand Spirit Arena. You may encounter many powerful water-attribute spirit masters there."
"Got it, Teacher. I'll remember that."
Yan felt even more excited.
He knew that the Sunset Forest was located east of Heaven Dou City, in the same direction as the Tokes Grand Spirit Arena. This was the perfect opportunity to visit both places.
After Lin Zhendong left, Yan did not return to the academy. Instead, he headed straight for Yue Guan's residence.
