The finger light did not come as expected. Lingyun let out a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing a trace of bitterness.

It was like a dragon swimming at the bottom while being toyed with by a shrimp. A tiger falling to the ground and being bullied by a dog. The son of a leopard is as happy as a tiger, and the bird is not as happy as the chicken.

He, Lingyun, the number one person below the level of Martial Emperor, would not be able to change even if he were to see a Titled Martial Emperor. To think that there would be a day when he would be bullied to such a state by a silly little girl.

Not daring to look back, Lingyun's two hands continued to beat the surface of the water, paddling in the warm lake. Very quickly, he reached the bottom of the bamboo bridge.

Both of his feet stomped on the ground and his hands forcefully hit the water surface at the same time as his body soared into the sky.

Just as he was about to leap onto the bamboo bridge, his eyes revealed a trace of happiness. He felt as if he had finally escaped from a tiger's den.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared above his head. He raised his head to look and saw a big hand made out of flames reaching towards him, wanting to slap him into the lake.

Turning around to look, he saw that not far behind him, the mysterious girl, Ling'er, was gently stepping on the surface of the lake, as if she was walking on flat ground, as if she was leisurely strolling in a courtyard.

Her eyes bent into crescent moons, as she looked at him with a smile. She slowly raised her lily-white hands, and then, under Ling Yun's sorrowful and indignant gaze, she abruptly flipped over.

Plop!

Lingyun tragically fell into the water, and was slapped a few meters deep.

Lingyun's face was filled with grief and indignation, and he almost vomited blood in anger. Being toyed with by this mysterious girl, and he had no strength to fight back.

In front of this young girl, he was like a child. All the resistance he had made was completely useless. This kind of feeling caused him to feel very stifled. A feeling of powerlessness surged through his heart.

He didn't even have this feeling when facing a Martial Emperor.

In the end, it was still strength. If he had great strength, how would he be toyed with by this young girl?

He could feel that this girl did not have any malice towards him. She was only playing around with him because she was angry and would not harm his life. If it was anyone else, perhaps he would have already lost his life.

This also reminded him of that incomparably real dream. Facing that mysterious Flame Devil, he was also extremely powerless, and could only watch as his family and friends were devoured.

Ling Yun roared in his heart. He was unwilling to accept this.

He wanted to change everything in that dream, to prevent it from happening. No matter who it was, it was impossible to hurt his friends or family in the slightest.

As if it could feel the unwillingness and roars from the depths of Lingyun's heart, the Supreme Pagoda in his Qi Sea and the chaos stones in his Spiritual Space trembled at the same time, letting out a buzzing sound.

A "Kacha" sound rang out within his body. The surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth rushed into his body from all directions. His flesh and blood vibrated, making a buzzing sound. Lingyun's eyes were filled with joy.

At this moment, his cultivation level broke through, and both his body and spiritual energy made a breakthrough at the same time.

He could feel that his entire body was filled with power. At this moment, he felt that even if it was the Heavens themselves, he would still be able to poke a hole through them.

Of course, he knew that this was just an illusion, the illusion of a sudden surge in strength.

Even though he could not truly pierce through the heavens, Ling Yun believed that with his rich combat experience from his past life, the current him could fight against an early stage Martial Master. As for who would win and who would lose, he did not know.

After all, the gap between a warrior and a Martial Master was too large. Even he did not dare say that he had surpassed his cultivation level to kill an enemy.

The gap between a warrior and a martial master, between a martial king and a martial king, and between a martial saint and a martial saint was a natural chasm that was difficult to cross in cultivation. Since ancient times, no one had ever been able to surpass these three realms and kill an enemy.

When he broke through to the next realm, everything changed tremendously, as if it was the heavens and the earth.

However, to the reincarnated Lingyun, the biggest chasm between realms was between a warrior and a martial arts master.

As for the last two, they were nothing to him.

Don't forget, he was a formidable existence that was only a step away from breaking through to become a Martial Emperor in his previous life.

Even though he had fallen and reincarnated, his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Laws had long since been branded into the depths of his soul, never to disappear.

Lingyun took in a deep breath. His eyes were filled with confidence, shining brightly and became brighter and brighter.

"Cough, cough!" The next moment, his face turned the color of pig liver and he started coughing.

He was so happy that he forgot that he was still in the lake. Just now, he inhaled deeply, almost choking himself to death.

On the surface of the lake, the mysterious girl Ling'er's face was initially filled with excitement, but after a long time, she still hadn't seen Lingyun come out. She was panicking, and if something happened to Lingyun, how could she explain it to Aunt Qing?

Looking at the lake, her eyes were filled with a fierce struggle, as if she was in a battle between heaven and earth. A sliver of fear appeared in the depths of her eyes, and her delicate body trembled.

Puff!

A wave of water shot up into the sky. The young girl hurriedly opened her beautiful eyes and looked over. Her heart heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed.

It was only because the figure that was wrapped in the water wave appeared somewhat miserable. Although it was a sorry figure, he had a somewhat high-spirited appearance.

At this moment, she felt her back was covered in sweat, and her fingernails dug into her flesh.

As the pain passed, he could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

The next moment, she suddenly widened her eyes, her rosy lips slightly opening. She stared blankly at Ling Yun who had already landed on the bamboo bridge, unable to speak for a long time.

At this moment, the latter could be said to be in an extremely sorry state. His hair and robes were completely drenched, making him look like a drowned chicken.

However, she didn't notice any of this. She only noticed the aura of the latter …

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Looking at the girl staring at him as if he was a monster, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he was stupefied.

What was wrong with this mysterious girl? Logically speaking, this girl should have hit him back when he charged out of the water! Why did he keep staring at him, causing him to feel terrified?

"Is it because I'm too handsome? Is it because I'm deeply enchanted by my charm?" As he spoke, he shook off his long, wet hair.

At this moment, the girl finally came back to her senses. Surprisingly, she wasn't angry. Lingyun did not know how funny he looked like.

That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming in full bloom, and the surrounding beautiful scenery had even lost all color. Lingyun could not help but be stunned for a moment.

"You broke through?" After a while, the young lady held back her laughter and frowned as she looked at Ling Yun. She then pointed at Ling Yun and asked.

Although she was asking, she already had the answer in her heart. If she did not have a breakthrough, how did Ling Yun's aura suddenly soar, and he was still a little weak at that. But she could not resist asking.

After all, staying in the water for a few minutes and breaking through wasn't strange at all.

However, it was strange that it happened to a body transformation cultivator who was equivalent to a warrior. A few minutes of time was more than enough to suffocate him, let alone breaking through.

"That's right!" Ling Yun nodded his head as if it was a matter of course, and said while clenching his teeth: "It's all thanks to you. If it wasn't for you, I would have needed a few more days to breakthrough."

He was right. If it wasn't for this mysterious girl, he would still need a few more days to break through. Moreover, it wasn't his cultivation or body that needed to break through at the same time.
