With Xiao Lin's death, Lin Tian could be considered to have resolved a matter in his heart.

Lin Tian originally thought that Xiao Lin's arrival was already a great calamity, but he did not expect that the result would be completely different.

Of course, this also allowed Lin Tian to completely understand a principle. This world was originally a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Although Lin Tian wasn't strong enough right now, he displayed his strong enough potential.

Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Yunhai had painstakingly asked for an opportunity to help Lin Tian. Thus, if any of the stages were to go wrong, the situation today would be completely different.

But now that the crisis was over, Lin Tian didn't have anything to worry about.

Old man Zhang was the first to leave with the Exquisite Pagoda. Originally, he had wanted Lin Tian to follow him there, but the third round of the Exquisite Pagoda was still a while away.

Lin Tian didn't want to go to the Cyan Plains first. Moreover, he still needed to cultivate more in order to comprehend everything he had.

Ling Tianlie did not stay any longer. He was a teacher at the Azure Province Academy and he had already left privately for a long time. It would not be good if he stayed here for too long, so Elder Zhang left together with Ling Tianlie.

As for Lin Tian, he continued to stay in the Sky Dragon Academy.

Actually, there was another reason why Lin Tian stayed here. He wanted to find out what happened to his master at that time.

Furthermore, Ling Tianlie had previously said that Xiao Yunhai had abandoned his own dignity to go beg his own grandmaster. This time, only Lin Tian had the chance to obtain the qualifications to train in the Exquisite Pagoda.

Also, Xiao Yunhai was originally also a teacher at the Azure Province Academy, but why did he become the Principal of the Sky Dragon Academy in the end? It should be known that the Azure Province and the Sky Dragon City were two completely different concepts.

He had never had a father or mother since he was young, and his only family member was Uncle Yu. However, Uncle Yu was already dead, and the only person who cared so much about him and still treated him so well was Xiao Yunhai.

Although he now knew that his biological parents were still alive, in his heart, Xiao Yunhai was even more important to him.

What was the purpose of practicing martial arts? It was to make yourself strong and not be bullied by others. Of course, it was also to protect those you liked, those you loved, those you thought were important to.

Lin Tian's goal in cultivating the martial way was to protect Uncle Yu. Of course, his current goal was to give his master a proper name!

Xiao Yunhai treated him as if he was his own. Naturally, he wanted to uphold the reputation of his master. Otherwise, what use would his disciple have?

However, Lin Tian was not in a hurry. He had gained a lot in the Exquisite Pagoda, whether it was his understanding of the God Transforming Steps, the martial arts he had just obtained, the Heaven Collapsing Palm, or the consolidation of his cultivation realm.

The Qingzhou School's selection was divided into three rounds. The first round had just begun.

This was also the first round of selection. Generally speaking, Sky Dragon Academy didn't have this qualification, but because Xiao Yunhai was previously a teacher of the Azure Province Academy, the Azure Province Academy would give the Sky Dragon Academy an additional spot every year.

Of course, this year's quota was for Lin Tian.

The second round of selection was the Exquisite Pagoda's trial to test the strength of the geniuses selected in the first round.

Entering the seventh floor meant that they had passed the second round of the assessment. They already had the qualifications to enter the third round of selection.

If the level of impact was higher, then it proved that the student's potential was greater.

For a monster like Lu Fan who had rushed all the way to the 18th level, he was the only one to do so in the past thousand years. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused the ancient bell to ring, attracting the attention of the Five Great Academies.

The third round of selection was a trial of fire and blood.

To put it bluntly, it meant killing and fighting.

The three rounds of the exam would usually last for a month.

Right now, the first round of selection had only just begun and Lin Tian had already passed the second round. This meant that Lin Tian still had a month's time.

He only needed to rush to the Azure Continent Academy and participate in the third round of the selection within a month.

There was still a long period of time left. It was enough for Lin Tian to adjust his strength to its peak condition. He might even be able to break through a stage.

Lin Tian returned to his room and first recovered his injuries. His injuries were actually not that serious in the first place. In addition, with the terrifying recovery abilities of the whirlpool of Dantian, Lin Tian pretty much recovered his injuries in half a day.

Moreover, the power of the Pagoda Fruit within his body was once again stimulated, and the hidden injuries within his body that were left behind was also completely healed.

After recuperating from his injuries, when his strength had completely stabilized at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm, Lin Tian did not hesitate and went straight to the Green Cliff Mountain.

Cultivating the God Transforming Steps and the power of the Heaven Collapsing Palm required real combat.

The Rank 3 Demonic Beast deep within the Green Cliff Mountain had become Lin Tian's first choice.

Lin Tian's current strength was only around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. To kill a third level beast that was comparable to a Golden Core Realm martial artist, the difficulty was rather high for Lin Tian, but Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. Only a demonic beast stronger than him could test Lin Tian's true strength.

After half a month, Lin Tian was still soaking in the back mountains of the Green Cliff Mountain. He kept on killing, escaping, returning, killing, and once again escaping.

All of the Rank 3 Demonic Beasts in the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain were disturbed by Lin Tian. Once, it even attracted a total of eight Rank 3 Demonic Beasts. They crazily ran deep within the Green Cliff Mountain in order to chase and kill Lin Tian.

But in the end, Lin Tian was still able to successfully escape.

In the tempering of life and death, Lin Tian had a new understanding of everything he learned. The God Transforming Steps and Heaven Collapsing Palm were both displayed more and more proficiently.

Of course, this kind of continuous slaughter also attracted the attention of all the Demonic Beasts within the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain.

Later on, as long as there were demon beasts that discovered Lin Tian's traces, a large group of demon beasts would immediately gather and chase after and kill Lin Tian. In the end, they forced Lin Tian to give up and escape the Green Cliff Mountain.

"God damn, wasn't it just killing a few Monstrous Beasts? Is there really a need to chase me out of the Green Cliff Mountain?" Lin Tian swore as he used the God Transforming Steps to escape.

Behind him was a black mass of Monstrous Beasts. Those Monstrous Beasts were scrambling to chase after the fleeing Lin Tian. The entire land of the Green Cliff Mountain was violently shaking because of the Monstrous Beast's stomps. The situation was extremely terrifying.

However, the cause of all this was Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was completely on the black list of those demon beasts. As long as he entered the territory of the Green Cliff Mountain, the demon beasts of the Green Cliff Mountain would be able to smell his body odor.

Lin Tian walked in and out three times. This was his last attempt to enter the Green Cliff Mountain, but unfortunately, he was still kicked out.

"You are being unreasonable, do you understand? You are robbers and rascals!" Lin Tian stood at the exit of the Green Cliff Mountain and roared at the monster in front of him.

He was extremely angry and those Monstrous Beasts did not really want to kill him because with just them, they could not kill Lin Tian. The reason why they all moved out was actually very simple. It was to prevent Lin Tian from entering the Green Cliff Mountain.

So every time, they would chase Lin Tian out of the Green Cliff Mountain and after that, they would no longer continue chasing.

Lin Tian was truly angry this time and couldn't help but curse loudly: "Is the Green Cliff Mountain opened by your family!"

All the monsters stared blankly at Lin Tian, not knowing what he was doing.

"Forget it, I'll tell you guys that you guys don't understand either …" Lin Tian shook his head. In any case, he had already achieved his goal so there was no need to stay. Lin Tian turned around and was about to leave.

The demonic beasts also retreated one after another.

Lin Tian saw the opportunity and wanted to once again enter the Green Cliff Mountain. The demon beasts of the Green Cliff Mountain quickly gathered one by one and pounced towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian Deng stopped and retreated step by step. Lin Tian grit his teeth and said: "You guys are ruthless!"

Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly left the Green Cliff Mountain. Then, he looked at the Green Cliff Mountain with reluctance: "This is the last time I'm here …"

He was going to leave Sky Dragon City and head to the Cyan Plains in the next few days. In the future, he would be able to travel a long distance, and he was afraid that he would never come back.

At the start, Lin Tian killed a few monsters. Afterwards, he was able to control the strength of the Heaven Collapsing Palm, so Lin Tian didn't kill a single demon beast.

Qing Ya Mountain, Sky Dragon City. This was his homeland. He was finally leaving.

To be honest, he was truly reluctant.

Lin Tian shook his head, lightly sighed, and then left.

Behind him, the howls of the demon beasts in the Green Cliff Mountain rose and fell one after another, shaking like thunder.

Lin Tian slightly smiled, and directly used the God Transforming Steps without the slightest hesitation to leave this place.

On this day, Lin Tian was sixteen years old.

When he returned to Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian was already preparing his things. There was still half a month left before the third round of Qingzhou Selection Competition.

Sky Dragon City was in the northernmost part of the Azure Province and it was incomparably desolate. It was several hundred miles away from the Azure Province, and for normal people, it required half a month's journey. Lin Tian had the God Transforming Steps, so he only needed five days to reach the Azure Province.

Lin Tian decided to set off tomorrow. Tonight, it was time to ask Xiao Yunhai about what had happened that year.

After he finished packing, Lin Tian even went to look for Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's aptitude was very terrifying, after having undergone the transformation from dragon blood, her aptitude became even more terrifying.

He had already reached Qi Disciple level 5.

Right now, Lin Tian had almost absorbed a thousandth of the Ancestral Dragon blood. The blood essence in his body was even more terrifying. This blood pill was enough to support his future path of martial arts.

Lin Tian had also passed the Great Destruction Fist to Zhang Yi. The Heaven Breaking Palm was too high level, which was not suitable for Zhang Yi. The Great Creation Fist was enough for her to train to the Qi Hai level without changing her martial arts.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Yi's parents, Lin Tian once again returned to his room.

"Tian, you're back." As soon as Lin Tian returned to his room, he discovered that his master was already sitting in his study.

"Come, master has something to say to you." Xiao Yunhai lightly said to Lin Tian.

"Is Master talking about what happened that year?" Lin Tian silently said in his heart, but he still unhesitatingly walked into the room.
