The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 283: Chapter 277: Domain Construction, Mental Prison

Dormitory Zone 1.

Cultivation Field.

Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi.

In order to advance their cultivation realms sooner,

so they could go with Lin Yi to Jail City to slay demons,

they were practically becoming obsessed, spending all their time in the Cultivation Field since morning.

Practicing unarmed combat in the morning and weapons in the afternoon.

In the evenings, they would either go cultivate their spirit or head to the library...

They scheduled every single day to the brim, never letting themselves have a moment of rest.

When Xu Tai and his group arrived at the Cultivation Hall,

they found quite a few students there.

Most of them were freshmen and sophomores.

”To the Weapon Hall!”

Xu Tai scanned the area but saw no sign of Lin Yi.

They headed straight for the Weapon Hall.

Soon, when they arrived,

they saw that there were already some students inside the Weapon Hall.

Some were practicing with sabers, some with spears, and others with staffs...

”President, it doesn’t look like Lin Yi is here.”

A senior from the Gun Skill Association peeked inside.

As expected, there was no trace of Lin Yi.

Xu Tai’s brow furrowed deeply.

Having just perfected his spear technique, he was eager to find Lin Yi for a sparring match to test it out.

He had come looking for Lin Yi, full of momentum.

But now that he was here, the person he sought was nowhere to be found.

Half of his imposing air instantly dissipated.

”That guy seems to be a classmate of Lin Yi’s, right? Let’s go ask him!”

Just as a disappointed Xu Tai was about to leave,

he suddenly spotted Wei Nan walking out of the Weapon Hall, carrying an iron staff.

Ever since Lin Yi returned from Jail City last time,

he had given Wei Nan an iron staff he had acquired from Han Dong’s squad.

Wei Nan had a strength-type talent.

Besides unarmed combat and the great saber, staff techniques were also in his repertoire.

If he could master the staff, his strength would be just as formidable.

At the time, Wei Nan had accepted Lin Yi’s suggestion without a second thought.

Now, besides his major in unarmed combat, the staff had become his only weapon.

And as soon as he started practicing, Wei Nan became obsessed with staff techniques...

”Excuse me, you’re Lin Yi’s roommate, right?”

Just as Wei Nan was stepping out of the Weapon Hall,

Xu Tai stopped him with a smile and asked.

Wei Nan glanced at him and nodded. ”You’re Senior Xu Tai, aren’t you?”

”You know me?” Xu Tai was taken aback, his brow furrowing.

Wei Nan laughed. ”How could I not? Who in our Cultivation Hall doesn’t know Senior Xu Tai?”

”Aren’t you the president of the... what was it... the Gun Skill Association?”

”And I think you’re the inheritor of some spear technique, right? Last time, right here, you were sparring with Lin Yi!”

”And then Lin Yi defeated you in a single move? Wasn’t that you?”

After Wei Nan finished speaking,

Xu Tai’s face completely darkened.

The few members who had come with him were also furious.

Wei Nan might have said those words without ill intent, but to their ears, the meaning was completely twisted.

It sounded more like mockery.

”Where is Lin Yi now?”

Xu Tai asked, his face grim, his earlier smile completely gone.

Wei Nan said with a grin, ”Why are you looking for Lin Yi? He’s not here. He left with his sister!”

”His sister? Where did they go?”

”I think they went to Dragon Tiger University? Said he was going there to become someone’s apprentice!”

”But really, what do you want with him? Don’t tell me you want to spar with him again?”

”If you’re not in a hurry, just wait for him to get back. I’ll have him come find you at your place!”

After Wei Nan finished speaking,

he paid Xu Tai and his group no more mind and walked right past them.

After Wei Nan left, the other members were all dumbfounded.

”President? Lin Yi went to Dragon Tiger University to become an apprentice?”

”Isn’t he a student at our Xingwu University? What master could he be seeking there?”

”It couldn’t be... he’s becoming the Elder Celestial Master’s apprentice, could he?”

”Impossible. Absolutely impossible. The Elder Celestial Master said long ago that he would no longer accept disciples. Besides, he’s not even a student at Dragon Tiger University. How could he possibly become a disciple of the Elder Celestial Master?”

”That’s right. I also remember the Elder Celestial Master saying a few years ago that he wasn’t taking any more disciples...”

Listening to their conversation,

Xu Tai frowned, his face a mask of disappointment.

He had just perfected his spear technique today.

He had combined the strengths of the Breaking Army Spear Technique and the Breaking Army Soul-Chasing Spear Technique to create a brand new style.

This new technique was even stronger than the original Breaking Army Spear Technique.

It also incorporated some moves from the Breaking Army Soul-Chasing Spear Technique.

He was confident that if he were to spar with Lin Yi again,

he would be able to defeat Lin Yi’s Tiger Roar Spear Technique.

He had arrived full of confidence, only to find that Lin Yi wasn’t even at the university.

The sense of disappointment left him feeling completely hollow.

While the other members were still talking,

Xu Tai had already started walking out of the Cultivation Field.

By the time the members realized, he was already gone.

...

「Dragon Tiger Mountain.」

「Visualization Room.」

In the outer chamber, Lin Yi was sitting in a chair, eating.

Even though it was all vegetarian dishes, he ate with great relish.

Zhong Yan, sitting across from him, glanced at him.

”Don’t look down on these vegetarian dishes. They’re all grown by our Dragon Tiger University students in the medicinal fields!”

”While their effects can’t compare to Demon Beast Meat, their advantage is that they’re cheap!”

”Plus, you can afford to have them every meal, every day...”

After Zhong Yan finished speaking,

Lin Yi nodded. ”Senior Brother Zhong, these vegetables are a type of medicinal herb, aren’t they?”

Zhong Yan laughed. ”Not bad, you even know they’re medicinal herbs!”

”Actually, they’re not purely medicinal herbs. They’re a hybrid of vegetables and herbs!”

”These were all developed by students from previous years!”

”They even applied for patents...”

Lin Yi looked at him in astonishment. ”Senior Brother Zhong, Dragon Tiger University also does agricultural product R&D?”

”What’s wrong with that? Dragon Tiger University is involved in a wide range of fields!”

”Don’t tell me you thought Dragon Tiger University was all about boring meditation and cultivating the Dao?”

”Aside from their main professions, for example, this new species bred from medicinal herbs and vegetables was actually created by students from the Alchemy Department!”

”And students from the Talisman Department, they use talismans to develop some patented inventions too!”

”Students from other departments have similar achievements, but their applications aren’t as widespread!”

”Let me put it this way, campus life at Dragon Tiger University is much more exciting than at your Xingwu University!”

”If you want to talk about boring, I actually think your Xingwu University is more boring!”

”All you do all day is cultivate or go on missions in Jail City, right?”

”A single slip-up and you could lose your life, right?”

After Zhong Yan finished speaking,

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. ’If it’s really like Senior Brother Zhong says, Xingwu University really is much more boring than Dragon Tiger University.’

They had many different types of departments.

Besides the common ones like Alchemy, Daoist Doctor, Talisman, and Daoist Arts,

there were also more niche professions like the Array Department, Magical Artifact Department, and so on.

The choices were diverse, and you could discover more fun while learning.

It really did add a lot more fun to campus life compared to Xingwu University.

”Oh, right, when are you planning to intern at the Demon Hunting Bureau?”

Zhong Yan asked hurriedly.

Lin Yi paused, then said with a smile, ”The university has a rule: students aren’t allowed to intern at the Demon Hunting Bureau before their sophomore year.”

”Hmm... that is a bit of a hassle!”

”But with your aptitude, helping the Demon Hunting Bureau solve cases should be no problem at all!”

”Ah, forget it. Anyway, your Xingwu University just has too many rules, not like our Dragon Tiger University!”

”We have more freedom. We can do whatever we want!”

Zhong Yan’s words didn’t provoke Lin Yi.

He actually felt that Xingwu University’s way of life was more comfortable.

Although it didn’t have as much fun as Dragon Tiger University,

its advantage was that you weren’t bogged down by tedious coursework every day.

You could have plenty of time to cultivate and increase your Qi and Blood.

And even the Jail City missions weren’t mandatory.

You just had to meet the credit requirements each semester.

Every university had its own unique strengths and weaknesses.

Even if Dragon Tiger University was more interesting,

its drawbacks were also quite obvious.

Therefore, Lin Yi wasn’t envious.

When Zhong Yan saw that Lin Yi didn’t seem very interested in what he was saying about Dragon Tiger University,

he said with a touch of disappointment, ”Alright, you take your time eating. I’m going to head out!”

”After you’re done, don’t worry about the dishes. Someone will come to collect them!”

”I’ll come back to chat with you at dinner!”

”Okay, goodbye, Senior Brother!”

Lin Yi smiled lightly and nodded. Zhong Yan gave him another look.

The disappointment on his face became even more obvious.

With that, he got up and left.

Not long after, once Lin Yi had finished eating,

he still took the bowls and plates to the bathroom and washed them himself.

After washing them clean, he placed them on the table for someone to collect.

Then, he took Xiaoqi and entered the inner chamber to continue his visualization.

After the better part of a day, Lin Yi had already thoroughly digested the entire Visualization Heart Returning Technique.

All that remained was to put it into practice.

Lin Yi took out the Blood Prison Map and hung it on the wall.

He carefully observed the scene, which looked like the end of the world.

Time passed, second by second.

Gradually, Lin Yi was astonished to find that his surroundings had changed.

The inner chamber had transformed into a barren wasteland.

The ground was littered with the remains of countless demon beasts.

A blood moon hung in the sky, casting a crimson glow.

The air was thick with a nauseating stench of blood.

SCREEE—

Xiaoqi circled in the sky, letting out a clear cry.

’Have I... entered the Blood Prison Map?’

Lin Yi was both shocked and delighted.

So-called visualization is the observation of the heart.

The moment one’s spirit becomes powerful enough,

one can construct a brand new Heart Spirit Domain.

Clearly, this was a new Heart Spirit Domain constructed by his spirit, based on the Blood Prison Map.

Or rather, he had entered the world of the Blood Prison Map in a spiritual state.

Being able to achieve this proved that Lin Yi’s spirit had grown even stronger.

It also proved that he had successfully mastered the Visualization Heart Returning Technique.

’I can now construct any Heart Spirit Domain I wish, based on my own thoughts.

I’m no longer limited to a single, fixed Heart Spirit Domain.

Or rather... every Heart Spirit Domain will become a Mental Prison.

In the future, if anyone tries to launch a spiritual attack against me,

once I drag them in here, their spirits will never be able to escape.

Unless I let them go, or they are completely devoured...’
