Breakthrough! Judgement of Darkness!

The Grand Disciple Tournament of the Li Fire Sect was held once every five years. It was a grand event amongst the disciples.

All the disciples of the Li Fire Sect would compete in the tournament. The disciples winning the top places would win the honor of becoming core disciples of the sect, and receive even more resources.

They would also have the chance to compete with cultivators from the various major powers of the Beilageluoya Empire. If they were strong enough, they'd become new stars in the empire.

However, all of this wasn't very attractive to Lin Lei. Right now, all he could think about was cultivating.

So what if he became a core disciple? Could Li Fire Sect, a second-rate force, have better resources than the system?

Right now, he wanted nothing but becoming stronger.

Linley exhaled deeply and looked at the three years worth of cultivation.

"It's time to break through from the realm of apprentice sorcerer."

Linley sat down on the ground, opening his system backpack.

"Absorb!"

A surge of incomparably pure magic force exploded forth from his four limbs and bones. It was much more powerful than the last time.

If an outsider were to see a mere ninth level apprentice being able to gather such a terrifying amount of pure magic force from his surroundings, their eyes would pop out in astonishment.

The magic force ran through his body and finally gathered within his magic force circuit.

Crack. Crack.

Within the magic force corridors, a spiritual line began to shatter.

Lin Lei frowned and increased the force of the impact.

Break!

Boom!

A low rumbling sound came from near him. But very quickly, it was concealed by the Concealment Spell.

The shattered spiritual line was condensing into a new pattern and a new and larger magic force circuit was taking shape slowly.

Linley's eyes opened with boundless magic force in them.

He was surrounded by waves of azure magic force, giving off a faint sense of pressure.

"So this is the Sorcerer Realm? The difference between the power of an apprentice and the power of a sorcerer is simply huge."

Linley felt shocked. He was dozens of times more powerful than he had been in the Apprentice Realm!

Activating the Concealment Spell!

In the blink of an eye, Linley transformed into an ordinary sorcerer apprentice of the third level. He looked exactly the same as he had been before. It felt as if his becoming a sorcerer was just a dream.

Feeling the endless magic force coming from the magic force circuit, he wanted to try his strength.

"Let's see how strong I am."

With a faint smile, he waved his right hand and the staff appeared in his hand.

He casually pointed it forward and a black flame the size of a grain of rice suddenly appeared at the very tip of the staff.

"Go."

Judgement of Darkness!

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of energy exploded forth!

The black flame swept out, and in the end, it transformed into a sharp sword shooting forward!

"Disperse!"

Lin Lei used all his strength and barely suppressed the Judgement of Darkness, and in the end, it completely disappeared.

After putting away the remaining magic force of the spell with the Concealment Spell, Lin Lei finally relaxed.

"What a terrifying spell."

Linley's entire body was covered in sweat. Finally, he sat down, exhausted.

Meanwhile, the master of the Li Fire Sect was in the master tower holding a meeting. Suddenly, he sensed something and turned to look in the direction that Lin Lei was located.

"What a terrifying aura of destruction..."

The sect master continued to sense but found the aura had disappeared, as though nothing had happened.

"Was it just my illusion?"

The sect master muttered to himself.

Then an elder interrupted his thoughts.

"Master, I think it's better for Natasha to enter the finals of the Grand Disciple Tournament directly. The gap between the Holy Maiden and the ordinary disciples is too big. We might miss out on some outstanding disciples because of this."

The one who spoke was the tower lord of the Centaur Tower, Nuoyi Greynos. Natasha was the name of the Holy Maiden.

The sect master nodded.

"Indeed, and I heard that the sects around us also have many strong disciples. For example, there was a genius from the Death Language Sect who broke through to the third level Sorcerer Realm at a young age. He has also mastered many powerful spells. We must be careful in the next sorcerer competition."

"Yeah, there's also an extremely powerful kid from the Crusader Shrine next door. He has been cultivating by challenging various sets. He's a tough figure."

The sect master frowned slightly. It seemed that there were many strong disciple in the younger generation. Natasha was talented, but she was too arrogant. She would probably suffer a great loss in the sorcerer competition this time.

"Fine. Let's end this meeting here. I understand everything. You can go now," the sect master said.

The elder said farewell and left the master tower.

The sect master saw that Hugh had stayed behind.

"Hugh, do you want to speak to me?"

"Sir, when do you think my disciple, Lin Lei, will come out of the solitary confinement room?"

The sect master couldn't help but laugh, "So that's what this is about. Your disciple has a very hot temper, and he actually dared to clash with Natasha. You know how vindictive that girl is. If I didn't lock him up, Natasha would definitely take revenge on him in private.

"I did it to protect your disciple and give Natasha a way out. It will also temper your disciple's temperament.

"After the disciple competition is over, I will release him."

"Sir, I thank you on behalf of my disciple."

Hugh was overjoyed and thanked the sect master.

The sect master laughed and waved his hand. "No need to thank me. Perhaps your disciple doesn't want to come out and prefers to stay in the solitary confinement room."

Hugh smiled and shook his head.

Lin Lei wanted to stay in the solitary confinement room?

That was impossible.
