As Lin Zixuan fell into a state of panic, Tang Yuxin experienced a breakthrough. Her internal energy surged repeatedly, shattering the barrier that had hindered her progress. With this powerful momentum, she advanced from the sixth level to the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
She had been on the verge of a breakthrough but had missed the opportunity before. Now, with the aid of the Immortal Spirit Art, the breakthrough came effortlessly.
The air in the villa's front yard became turbulent. Tang Yuxin stopped running the Immortal Spirit Art and opened her eyes, her face still bearing an expression of astonishment.
The Rank Three technique she had used previously could only harness a fraction of the spiritual energy available compared to the Immortal Spirit Art. The Immortal Spirit Art, however, drew an immense amount of spiritual energy into her body, all of which was absorbed without loss.
"What level of skill is this Immortal Spirit Art?" Tang Yuxin wondered.
Horn, looking at her with a doting expression, asked, "Yuxin, how do you feel?"
Lin Zixuan, having descended from the second floor, landed gracefully in front of Horn. She grabbed his arm and inquired, "Horn, what level has the technique you gave to Little Xinxin reached?"
The terrifying noise in the front yard had long since dissipated. Lin Zixuan, her gaze filled with complex emotions, continued, "Does this technique surpass Rank Nine?"
"I've never seen a Rank Seven technique with such astonishing effects before," she said. "I've read descriptions of Rank Eight and Rank Nine techniques in ancient texts, but this skill of yours is beyond both."
Horn replied casually, "You could think of it that way."
Upon realizing Horn's admission, Lin Zixuan's expression grew more complicated. Horn had indeed given Tang Yuxin a Legendary Level skill, surpassing Rank Nine—a gesture that left Tang Yuxin deeply appreciative.
On Earth, possessing a technique surpassing Rank Nine is so rare that it might never be shared even with one's family. The value of such a Legendary Level skill is beyond imagination, enough to make a family as wealthy as a nation.
Wang Menglu, having overheard the conversation, swallowed hard. "Horn, you truly are exceptional! To give away a Legendary Level skill so easily, especially one so perfect for Xiao Xinxin, is remarkable. It's no wonder Xiao Xinxin holds you in such high regard."
Wang Menglu took a deep breath and continued, "Previously, you transferred half of Xu Hu's shares to Xiao Xinxin, which was worth three billion. While that was a generous gift, it pales in comparison to this Legendary Level skill. I'm beginning to envy Xiao Xinxin for having such a good eye."
Horn remained indifferent to Wang Menglu's praise. The Immortal Spirit Art was a treasure from the Immortal Clan. Horn had once been hunted by the Immortal Clan for five centuries before eventually overpowering them and claiming their treasure.
The Immortal Spirit Art was one of the supreme techniques in the Immortal World, suitable for any physique and offering an incredibly fast cultivation speed.
Tang Yuxin was deeply moved. "Horn, the Immortal Spirit Art is too precious! You shouldn't have given it to me—it's a Legendary Level skill!"
Horn gently patted Tang Yuxin's head and smiled, "As long as you like it."
He also had other techniques comparable to the Immortal Spirit Art, but they required Body Integration. The Immortal Spirit Art was the most suitable for Tang Yuxin.
Before Tang Yuxin could express her gratitude, Horn pressed his index and middle fingers against her lips, saying, "No need for thanks between us."
Tang Yuxin blushed slightly. The relationship between her and Horn was still undefined, and she was anxiously awaiting a confession from him.
Wang Menglu, while happy for her friend, felt a pang of envy. "This sweetness is almost overwhelming," she joked.
Tang Yuxin playfully puffed up her cheeks and said, "Menglu, stop complaining about the dog food."
Lin Zixuan, still captivated by Horn, said, "Do you understand how valuable a Legendary Level skill is? Even secluded old monsters would come out and fight to the death for such a skill. If Menglu and I had malicious intentions, you and Yuxin wouldn't stand a chance."
Wang Menglu, initially nervous, sighed in relief as Lin Zixuan continued, "Dean Lin, you're right. Horn's trust in us is deeply touching. Even with Legendary Level skills, he's not hiding anything from us. We must honor that trust."
Lin Zixuan nodded, her view of Horn significantly improved. "Remember, don't be so naive again. The world is full of greed."
Horn almost laughed at their misunderstanding. With his level of cultivation, he didn't need to worry about such things. If Lin Zixuan and Wang Menglu truly acted out of greed, he could easily handle them.
"Horn, did you take Dean Lin's words to heart?" Wang Menglu asked. "I didn't expect you to be so naive."
Horn smiled casually. If he had been truly innocent, he wouldn't have survived in the Immortal World, where survival often meant being ruthless.
