My Mosquito Clones Are on a Killing Spree

Chapter 85: Chapter 71: First Grade, High Stage

The online store’s delivery efficiency was astonishingly high.

Just half an hour later, a sleekly designed delivery drone precisely followed the location coordinates Lin Yi had set online.

It hovered silently outside the courtyard gate of Zhang Quan’s villa.

emitting a faint buzzing notification.

With a flicker of his body, Lin Yi was already at the gate.

He looked up, and a red light scanned his iris, instantly confirming his identity.

After completing the delivery confirmation,

a half-meter-tall, tightly sealed metal box was steadily lowered.

Inside the box, twelve hundred longan-sized Bone Tempering Pills were neatly arranged. The heavy weight made Lin Yi’s arms sink slightly.

He took a deep breath, securely lifted the box, and strode back to the villa.

In the living room,

Zhang Quan merely glanced up, his gaze lingering on the large box in Lin Yi’s arms for half a second before returning to the Martial Dao journal in his hands.

His expression was calm, showing no intention of prying.

As a teacher, he knew his place. He was only responsible for guiding cultivation and wouldn’t interfere too much in his student’s private affairs.

”Teacher,” Lin Yi said, placing the box by his feet. ”I’d like to pause my cultivation for today and take a rest.”

Zhang Quan put down his journal, a smile of understanding on his face:

”You should get some rest! For the past month and a half, you’ve been like a tireless cultivation machine. Your Qi and Blood and your Spirit have been stretched too thin. The New Year is coming up anyway. Relax a bit. A balance of work and rest is the only way to go further! Go on.”

”Thank you, Teacher.” Lin Yi nodded.

He picked up the box again and walked into the guest room he was staying in.

The door clicked shut, sealing him off from the outside world.

Lin Yi placed the box on the floor.

He took a deep breath to calm his excited heart, then threw open the heavy lid.

In that instant,

a soft, dense glow of energy poured out.

Twelve hundred longan-sized Bone Tempering Pills, each one a lustrous, jade-like white, were neatly arranged in specially-made, energy-insulating compartments, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

Just by inhaling a whiff of the escaping Pill Qi, Lin Yi could feel the Qi and Blood depleted from cultivating Wave Intent stir back to life.

’Time waits for no one. Let’s begin!’

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yi’s gaze instantly became as sharp as a blade.

He sat down cross-legged, palms facing the sky, and prepared for cultivation.

With a thought,

the Mosquito Avatar, which had long been lying in wait, transformed into a barely perceptible shadow and shot like lightning toward the nearest Bone Tempering Pill!

At this moment, the Mosquito Avatar had already swelled to a size larger than an adult’s fist. Its ferocious proboscis glinted with a cold, metallic light, and its wings vibrated at high speed, producing a low drone.

Although its large size meant a surge in power, a trace of helplessness flashed through Lin Yi’s mind.

’It’s only at the level of a First Grade Demon Beast and its size is already this exaggerated... If it advances to Second Grade or Third Grade, won’t it become a behemoth?’

Lin Yi frowned to himself.

In his plans, the Mosquito Avatar was supposed to be a stealthy Qi and Blood refueling station, focusing on being fast, precise, ruthless, and leaving no trace.

If it really turned into a ten-meter giant mosquito,

a mere human would be smaller than its proboscis...

How could it possibly suck blood then!

’Sigh, I can only hope that when it evolves in the future, it awakens a skill to control its size.’

The thought flashed by.

Lin Yi quickly cast aside his distracting thoughts.

He focused his mind completely.

He decisively controlled the Mosquito Avatar, its thick, hard proboscis piercing accurately into a lustrous white Bone Tempering Pill like a syringe.

’Suck!’

As Lin Yi gave the mental command, the Mosquito Avatar’s ”Blood Sucking” ability activated with ferocious power!

The incredibly pure Medicinal Power of the Bone Tempering Pill was madly absorbed and converted by the Mosquito Avatar.

It was instantly transformed into torrents of scorching, pure Qi and Blood.

This was then continuously fed back to Lin Yi’s main body!

Lin Yi immediately circulated the >.

He guided this surging torrent of Qi and Blood to precisely impact and refine his ribs.

Under the scouring of the powerful Qi and Blood, his bones emitted a faint yet resilient CRACKLE.

The Medicinal Power contained in a single Bone Tempering Pill was immense. Lin Yi needed to concentrate fully on circulating his Cultivation Technique for two minutes to completely absorb and refine it, not wasting a single drop.

Twelve hundred Bone Tempering Pills!

That would take a full two thousand four hundred minutes!

In other words, a full forty hours!

Lin Yi was a human, not a machine.

He needed to eat to replenish his energy, take care of his biological needs, and more importantly, get short periods of sleep to recover his heavily depleted Spiritual Power.

This cultivation race against time took him a little over two full days.

When the last wisp of Medicinal Power was completely absorbed and converted,

the time had quietly slipped to the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The dense Pill Qi that had filled the guest room finally began to dissipate slowly.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them before disappearing.

He let out a long breath of turbid air, which condensed instead of dispersing and even carried a trace of scorching heat.

With a slight thought, a translucent system panel unfolded before his eyes:

[Qi and Blood]: 419.44/419.44.

[Bone Tempering]: 34 (100%), 1 (12%), 171 (0%).

His Bone Tempering progress from this secluded cultivation session had been a quantum leap!

He had managed to refine a full twelve torso bones in one go!

He had leaped from the initial twenty-two bones to thirty-four!

According to common Martial Dao knowledge, there were fifty-one torso bones in total. Every seventeen bones refined marked a breakthrough to a new minor realm.

Thirty-four bones refined!

This marked Lin Yi’s official entry into the final stage of the First Grade Realm of the Martial Dao—

High-Stage First Grade!

Thus, his rush of cultivation using Bone Tempering Pills had come to a perfect conclusion.

Lin Yi stood up and stretched his slightly stiff body from sitting for so long. A series of crisp, popping sounds, like roasting beans, came from his joints.

He walked into the bathroom.

and took a long, satisfying hot shower,

washing away all the impurities expelled during his cultivation and all his fatigue.

He changed into a fresh set of Martial Dao training clothes.

Rejuvenated, Lin Yi walked up to the second floor and entered the training room.

”Teacher!”

Zhang Quan looked up at the sound of his voice. His gaze swept over Lin Yi like a bolt of lightning, and a gratified smile immediately appeared on his face:

”Good! You’re full of vigor, and your Qi and Blood are solid and condensed. It seems your two days of rest were effective; you’ve recovered all your previous losses. Since you’re back in top form, don’t delay. Let’s go downstairs and continue your spear practice!”

But Lin Yi shook his head, his expression serious as he said:

”Teacher, I am endlessly grateful for your meticulous guidance and protection during this time! Today, I’ve come to take my leave. The end of the year is approaching, and I want to go home for a bit.”

”Go home?”

The smile on Zhang Quan’s face instantly froze, and his brow furrowed:

”You’re leaving alone? Lin Yi, don’t forget, the principal himself ordered me to protect you! That Yan Hao is still missing, and he’s a genuine Second-Grade Martial Artist! What if he’s lurking in the shadows, waiting for a chance to strike you? No! It’s too dangerous. I absolutely cannot agree!”

Lin Yi’s gaze was firm. Meeting Zhang Quan’s scrutinizing eyes, he said in a low, serious voice:

”Teacher, I’m choosing to leave now precisely to lure the snake out of its hole! I have the confidence and the ability to deal with him!”

”You?”

A trace of astonishment flashed in Zhang Quan’s eyes.

But he knew Lin Yi had a steady character and wasn’t one to make baseless boasts.

He shot to his feet, grabbed the black long-spear leaning against the wall, his eyes flaring with battle intent:

”Fine! Since you say so, then prove it to me!”

”Right now, I will suppress my Qi and Blood to the level of 350 cal and only use the power of my lower limb bones to simulate the strength of an early-stage Second-Grade Martial Artist.”

”If you can defeat me in this state, it will prove you truly have what it takes to contend with or even kill Yan Hao. Only then will I be at ease letting you leave!”

To test Lin Yi’s true combat strength, Zhang Quan deliberately suppressed his own power to a level roughly equivalent to Yan Hao’s.
