Inside the mountain cave.

Indeed, just as Liu Qingyang said, using the Spill Pill to forcibly enhance one's power, once the effect disappears, the body becomes weak, with only one-third of its usual strength.

However, Lin Mo has various elixirs, and he should be able to recover his full strength within a day.

"Miss Liu, Xiao Mi."

At that moment, a man's voice came from outside the cave.

Wu Mi and Liu Qingyang's focus shifted, their faces showing a hint of happiness.

"He Yu, we are inside the cave." Liu Qingyang said softly.

Soon, a figure landed at the entrance of the cave, suspended within were several crystal stones, illuminating the cave.

Lin Mo also opened his eyes, stood up, and saw the young man entering the cave, whom he had met at the Kunlun Mountain Range. He was disheveled, looking rather worn.

"He Yu, what's happened to you?" Wu Mi blinked curiously.

"Just encountered a group of fierce beasts, I rushed over immediately upon seeing the Light Bird's signal." He Yu replied with a faint smile, but as his eyes glanced around, they stopped on Lin Mo, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

He wasn't surprised by Lin Mo's presence on Island No. 1; since the appearance of the Black Stele, the talents of the major forces had become aware of their competitors on the island. He naturally knew Lin Mo was on Island No. 1.

However, he hadn't expected Lin Mo to be with Liu Qingyang and Wu Mi.

"We did encounter danger, so I sent the Light Bird signal. Thankfully, Mr. Zhuo helped us, or Wu Mi and I wouldn't have survived." Liu Qingyang turned slightly, looking at Lin Mo.

"Indeed, that Demon Flame Leopard was too formidable. My Titan Snake also perished, damn it!" Wu Mi clenched her white fists and said furiously.

Clearly, she was still bitter about the Demon Flame Leopard killing her cherished Titan Snake.

"Mr. Zhuo, I can't believe you saved Miss Liu and Wu Mi, thank you."

He Yu turned his head, looking at Lin Mo, bowing with respect, though jealousy flickered in his eyes briefly.

"Now that everyone has arrived, I should be on my way." Lin Mo didn't even glance at He Yu; he had already sensed the unusual gaze He Yu directed at him, someone who appeared noble on the surface.

"Mr. Zhuo, your body hasn't fully recovered. Why not stay with us…" Liu Qingyang knitted her brows with concern, trying to persuade him.

Lin Mo had taken the Spill Pill, forcibly enhancing his strength to confront the Demon Flame Leopard. There would be a period of weakness for one or two days, which would be dangerous if encountering fierce beasts or other trial takers. "Forget it, I'll find a place to rest myself. Besides, everyone on the island is still in competition. I'm used to going solo, not fond of teaming up. Moreover, next time we meet, who knows whether we are foes or allies." Lin Mo turned, slowly walking to the cave entrance, waving his hand.

He shouldered the Xuanyuan Sword, transformed into a stream of light, and left.

"Hmph, arrogant guy."

He Yu watched Lin Mo's disappearing figure, lightly snorting.

Liu Qingyang still seemed worried, her brows furrowed, eyes fixed on the direction Lin Mo vanished.

"Qingyang, do you fancy Lin Mo? You've never shown this kind of concern for any man before." Wu Mi nudged Liu Qingyang's white arm and teased with a grin.

"No, I don't."

Liu Qingyang froze momentarily, then immediately denied.

Illuminated by the Lighting Crystal Stone inside the cave, her face flushed with a rosy pink.

This was all observed by He Yu, who clenched his fists, eyes glinting with jealousy, and with a divine thought, crushed the black wooden plaque within the Space Ring.

"Miss Liu, Xiao Mi, you both seem exhausted right now. How about resting in the cave for one or two days? I'll act as protector; no one would dare come near." He Yu offered with a gentle smile.

"Mm, thank you, Brother He." Liu Qingyang nodded.

Lin Mo decided to leave not without reason; this embodiment's main goal was to hone his martial arts. Furthermore, carrying many secrets, staying with others for long might arouse suspicion and reveal his secrets.

Despite his departure, Lin Mo charted his route toward the Island Heart.

Firstly, the Island Heart should host more powerful fierce beasts; almost all geniuses were converging there.

Secondly, Lin Mo wanted to explore the mapped area mentioned by mysterious contributors at the island's center and uncover what treasure Mystic Realm Sect might be hiding.

Thirdly, the Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire and his true self were headed toward the island's center. Keeping a distance ensures the true self can arrive immediately if danger arises.

Swoosh!

Lin Mo landed in a dense rainforest, choosing a lush tree to meditate on its trunk, simultaneously resting and recalling the battle with the Demon Flame Leopard.

Without Liu Qingyang's Spill Pill, even wielding the Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords Third Move, Heaven and Earth Battle, might not have conquered the Demon Flame Leopard.

However, Lin Mo sensed the terrifying power of the Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords Third Move—its dominance, fierce and unstoppable momentum enough to reshape mountains and rivers.

"The precursor who created Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords truly had stunning talents to forge such a powerful swordsmanship, yet even they could not master the Ninth Move!"

Lin Mo, though astonished, also deeply respected the precursor creating Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords. Such swordsmanship could rival Heavenly Rank Martial Techniques, yet it's uncertain which rank it corresponds to.

…

In a mystical realm miles away, two Saliva Beasts lay crooked on the ground. Though these fierce beasts aren't fast nor powerful attackers, they're deeply troublesome, resembling giant maggots. Emitting a repulsive stench, they're coated with corrosive slime, strong enough to erode surrounding soil.

Leaves and soil corrode, exhaling white gas.

Usually, trial takers avoid engaging with such creatures.

Currently, before the two Saliva Beasts stands a young man in white, frowning, "If it wasn't for the points, I wouldn't want to deal with these disgusting beasts."

Afterward, with a gesture, two Mystical Orders flew from the beasts' bodies, enveloped by spiritual energy, and entered the Space Ring.

"Pei Yongjun, when can you go after Lin Mo?"

At this moment, beside Pei Yongjun, a miniature Nine-tailed Demon Fox appeared, its scarlet eyes resembling crimson berries.

"Lord Nine-tailed Demon Fox, Lin Mo won't escape our grasp. However, I need to diligently collect Mystical Orders. On this island, my real adversary is only the Eldest Prince of the Fallen Angel Clan." Pei Yongjun responded respectfully.

"In aiding you, I have continually suppressed my strength, refrained from breaking through to the Golden Core Stage!"

The Nine-tailed Demon Fox snorted coldly. "Lord Nine-tailed Demon Fox, it seems like there's news of Lin Mo's whereabouts!" Pei Yongjun paused, then his mind received a tidbit of information, a chill appearing on his face.
