Chapter 656: Testing Strength
"So, the true power of the Bloodthirsty Demon may not necessarily be able to kill a normal Super Warrior?" Lianshan pondered.
"He might not have been able to at that time, but it's not certain now," Lin Yun shook his head and said.
"Hmm? How so?" Lianshan looked at Lin Yun and asked.
"The Bloodthirsty Demon's power comes mainly from the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand. You've heard of the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword, haven't you, Brother Lianshan? The more people it kills, the stronger it becomes. The Bloodthirsty Demon could possibly become a Super Warrior by killing one. There was once a master of the Bloodthirsty Sword who broke through to the Super Realm.
You can check how powerful that was," Lin Yun explained.
"Bloodthirsty Sword!" Lianshan was shocked.
Of course, he knew about the formidable power of the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Actually, after the information about the Bloodthirsty Demon spread, many were curious and envious of the Bloodthirsty Sword, apart from being wary of the Demon himself.
However, many people were only speculating about the Sword's capabilities; its actual abilities were not well understood.
The ability mentioned by Lin Yun was a plausible result derived by most people through analysis.
"Indeed, the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword is incredible. However, according to the information I've received, the Bloodthirsty Demon hasn't reached the Super Realm yet, but his power is much greater than what he showed the last time in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain. That's probably why he was able to kill Ouyang Zhanlei.
A few days ago, three half-step Super Warriors were suddenly killed by the Bloodthirsty Demon on their way to the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition. The entire ninth-level Civilization Star Domain was once again in turmoil," Lianshan reflected.
"Three half-step Super Warriors were killed?"
Lin Yun's heart sank once more.
Nanweng was filled with murderous intent...
Half-step Super Warriors were not ordinary warriors. Killing three of them with such ease was a significant feat.
And that takes into account the previous instance with Ouyang Zhanlei.
At this rate, Nanweng would soon break through to the Super Realm, using the Bloodthirsty Sword.
"Therefore, some private information has been sent out, suggesting we gather more strong participants when we go to the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition," Lianshan nodded.
The Bloodthirsty Demon was roaming around the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain. It wasn't safe for him to remain home, because the demon was clearly set on killing strong warriors as a means to bolster his own strength. Ordinary warriors didn't pose a threat to him, Super Warriors were difficult to deal with, so half-step Super Warriors like them were in the most danger.
The death of those three half-step Super Warriors proved this point.
He could potentially be targeted by the demon even at home. It might be better for him to gather with some strong warriors and go to the location of the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition together.
There would be many Super Warriors at the site of the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition. The Bloodthirsty Demon probably wouldn't dare go there.
Perhaps he could stay there until the big names of the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain kill the Bloodthirsty Demon.
"That's a possibility," Lin Yun pondered.
Sticking together could work. Perhaps, the collective strength of the group, might deter Nanweng from targeting them.
To put it bluntly, if their combined power proved insufficient against Nanweng -
If they scattered and fled, the probability of some people escaping would be greater.
There wouldn't be a scenario where one or two half-step Super Warriors would be targeted by Nanweng and unable to escape.
"I've already contacted Brother Xiao and some other friends. We will meet here and leave together in five days," Lianshan cheerfully informed.
He was worried Lin Yun would disagree with the plan. If that was so, he would need to make a choice in order to build good relations with Lin Yun and his party.
Thankfully, Lin Yun was easy to talk to,
Hmm?
Just at that moment, he suddenly recalled what Bahu Ye had narrated earlier. When they had encountered the Bloodthirsty Demon at the border of the eighth- and ninth-level Civilization Star Domains, the Bloodthirsty Demon recognized Lin Yun's party and decided not to attack and instead retreat?
In that case, being with Lin Yun's team would be a huge security factor!
In case they were unlucky enough to encounter the Bloodthirsty Demon, he may recognize Lin Yun's party and let them off again.
Lianshan thought to himself.
With this idea in mind, he became even more pleased.
"In five days? Okay!"
Lin Yun slightly nodded in agreement.
They chatted about the topic for a while longer.
"I never dreamed that, that Lei… Ouyang Zhanlei would be such a person... Fortunately, the mother of Master Lin's battle pet suddenly appeared..."
"That Ouyang Zhanlei certainly brought his death upon himself! His death will bring misfortune to the Ouyang Family to which he belonged..."
Lianshan continuously sighed.
Lin Yun also asked Lianshan about specific information regarding the power of the Bloodthirsty Demon, analyzing in his heart whether or not Nanweng had reached the Super Realm and when he could potentially achieve it.
The last time he had contact with Nanweng, he felt that Nanweng was not greatly affected by the Bloodthirsty Sword's murderous intent; his wisdom should have been intact.
Now, Nanweng was openly appearing in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain. Perhaps he had some sort of confidence or unrevealed strength.
However, the information that Lianshan knew was not detailed.
After questioning, Lin Yun took his leave.
There were still five days left; he planned to familiarize himself with his current strength.
During this time, he was only focusing on his Mental Strength breakthrough and stabilization and had not got acquainted much with his present power.
Xia Qingqing had only managed to familiarize herself a bit while practicing dual cultivation with him and Lin Mengmeng, but she did not comprehend much.
He originally planned to get acquainted with their strengths on the road to the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition.
As they had time now, it was time to familiarize himself.
With Nanweng appearing in the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain, actively hunting powerful fighters, he had to prepare himself in case Nanweng suddenly appeared.
The previous time, Nanweng let them off the hook, largely due to the sudden changes in the Bloodthirsty Sword.
However, after such a long time, he wasn't sure of how much control Nanweng had gained over the Bloodthirsty Sword, or what had happened to Little White and Little Blue, or how much stronger Nanweng had become. He might not be as merciful if he attempted an attack once more.
Familiarizing himself with his strength earlier, would help in easing his mind earlier.
If it came down to that, even if he was not strong enough to fight, at least he wouldn't have any regrets.

Simulation room.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
"Boom—boom—boom—"
"Hiss—hiss—hiss—"
Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing, as well as several robots, engaged in a three-way combat session. Lin Yun used a variety of martial arts skills, Xia Qingqing a variety of mental system skills - the interaction was intense and exciting.
The main attraction was the power display by Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing.
Those robots were no longer a match for Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing; they only served as a benchmarking tool for determining their combat abilities.
One hour... Two hours...
Because of the increased power of Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing, the process of familiarizing with and testing their abilities became even more lengthy.
Primarily because Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing were not in real combat which made the process even more slow and methodical.
In a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing concluded their session simultaneously.
Both had a good idea of their capabilities.
