Ye Tian and the others left.

As they left, some of the passersby who had just entered the cave and were lucky enough to witness this shocking battle didn’t dare to stay any longer.

They suppressed the shock in their hearts and left.

They seemed to be mumbling “monster” or something.

To think a little-known man with his fourth-stage pet beast was able to confront Ye Tian with his seventh-stage pet beast.

“We’re finally done.” Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Lin Yu, you’re going to be famous!” Zhang Yuze rushed to Lin Yu and said excitedly.

“Ah, wasn’t I famous enough before?”

“Ye Tian is different from the others you’ve defeated before. This is a heavyweight,” Zhang Yuze said seriously.

“By the way, how did he manage to train his pet beast to the seventh stage?” Lin Yu was also slightly curious.

In fact, most of his peers were still stuck at the third or fourth stage. There were only a few fifth-stage students in the entire school and not a single sixth-stage student.

“Haven’t you heard of the Ye family? Even in the entire An City, his father is an important figure,” Gao Yang explained.

Zhang Yuze nodded and said, “His father brought his Two-headed Windbreaker Wolf from Feng County. You know, you can’t find a pet beast with that kind of aptitude in An City, except for your Fallen Angel.”

“His family has provided him with countless resources, and it is said that there is a room in his villa that is specially used to assist in cultivation, and it’s surrounded by wind element 24/7.”

Lin Yu was a little speechless.

That despicable lucky bas*ard.

It really made people jealous.

“By the way, is Ye Tian anything related to Mr. Ye? ” He suddenly remembered that their head teacher’s surname was also Ye.

Zhang Yuze was stunned for a moment, then he said mysteriously, “You don’t say. There are rumors that they are relatives, but Mr. Ye has never admitted it.”

“I was just asking casually. Can’t believe they’re really related. Lin Yu was also stunned.

“It’s said that they’re all related to the Ye family of Feng County. That’s a top-notch powerful family,” Gao Yang suddenly chimed in.

“Ye family?” Lin Yu felt that this plot was a little familiar. “Could there be a few other families together and called the four major families? Is there a Lin family?”

“What four major families?” The two of them were stunned by his words.

“The Ye family is the biggest family in Feng County,” Zhang Yuze explained. The consortiums under them play a pivotal role in the transportation and tourism industry.”

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Yu smiled embarrassedly. “It seems that I’m overthinking it,” he thought.

He suddenly remembered the four big families, led by the Ye family, that often appeared in urban novels he had read before.

It was a little dramatic.

“If you’re right about Ye Tian, why would he be in An City? shouldn’t he be cultivating in Feng County?” Lin Yu suddenly asked.

An City was just an ordinary small city, while Feng County was one of the top big cities in the country.

The two of them were also stunned. Then, Zhang Yuze scratched his head and said, “Indeed. Maybe we’re overthinking it. It’s just a rumor.”

Lin Yu shook his head.

Ye Tian was already an insurmountable mountain to them, but to him, he was just a roadblock

After this pep talk meeting, they might not see each other again.

“Right, let’s split these resources.” Lin Yu pointed at the scattered resources under the mushroom umbrella.

The two of them exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

“We don’t want them. You can have everything.”

“Oh, that’s a shame,” Lin Yu said politely.

“It’s fine. The stronger you are, the more benefits we’ll stand to win by following you.” Gao Yang made a rare joke.

“Ahem.” Lin Yu touched his nose and said, “It seems fair.”

They had made the right choice.

“Fine, I’ll take it then.”

“In that case, I’ll have to need you to keep an eye on them for me. It might take a long time this time.”

Lin Yu wasn’t sure how long it would take to devour the big mushroom.

“Of course,” Zhang Yuze said with a smile. “Take your time with your pet beast. We won’t let anyone in.”

Lin Yu smiled. For safety’s sake, he asked Xiaozi to temporarily boost their pet beasts to the fifth rank.

They should be able to ensure his safety until he came out of seclusion.

As he watched the two of them as they walked out, his mood became lively again.

“I wonder what kind of skill I’ll get after devouring this mushroom?” he thought.

“It couldn’t be worse than before, right?”

“Ye Tian, let’s see. You’re in for a good treat soon.”

Lin Yu walked around the mushroom with his hands behind his back.

Other than this mushroom, the ground was filled with unrated resources that were not worth looking at.

He estimated that they would only increase Xiaozi’s spiritual power.

He reached out and gently touched the mushroom, feeling the traces of time on it.

“It looks like a long long time ago… Maybe it was planted when the school was first established?”

Lin Yu thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.

The school probably didn’t expect that someone would be able to take this away one day.

He grinned.

“Let’s start with these bits and pieces.”

He stretched out his hand and aimed at the small resources scattered on the ground.

As Xiaozi began to smoke, a message appeared in his mind.

[Devouring complete. Life level increased.]

[Devouring complete. Life level increased.]

…

As expected, there were no skills, and the increase in spiritual energy was not that desirable.

He was just one step closer to the fifth stage.

The next step was the exciting part.

“Xiaozi, what’s wrong?” Lin Yu looked curiously at Xiaozi, who suddenly turned her head.

Her expression was cold as she looked at him quietly with her beautiful eyes, but he could read a trace of warmth from them.

“You’re asking me if I want to rest? It’s fine, no need.”

The continuous fighting and devouring had indeed caused him some burden.

However, it was not a big problem.

Zhang Yuze, Gao Yang, and the others were still waiting outside. They didn’t know if anything would happen, so it was better to go out as soon as possible.

Xiaozi nodded and watched as Lin Yu spread the mist until it covered the entire towering mushroom.

…

It was now at the cave entrance.

“Lin Yu hasn’t come out yet,” Gao Yang panted as he said.

He was holding the Fierce Crying Vine and jumping on the rope in boredom.

“Don’t worry. Lin Yu must be very close to a breakthrough by now,” Zhang Yuze glanced at him and said.

“I’m not in a hurry. I’m just worried that someone might come.” Gao Yang stopped and the Fierce Crying Vine wrapped around his shoulder.

As a fifth-rank pet beast, it was not a big deal for it to be used as a rope.

“Eh? It seems like someone is really coming this way.” Gao Yang saw that person from afar and could not help but frown.

Zhang Yuze also stood up with a “whoosh.”

They narrowed their eyes and looked over. Three boys were quickly walking toward them.
