Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

As Tianyan said, the unsealing will be uncomfortable. You can feel the power entering your body. That power gradually invades your body, like countless ants crawling through your bones and disappearing into them. It is very unbearable.

Fortunately, the lockdown was lifted quickly, and that feeling gradually subsided.

[Alright.] Tianyan's voice rang out: [01, your past strength was far beyond what this body could withstand. Only by continuously strengthening your body can you unlock the corresponding power within your limits. Do not be negligent.]

"I understand." Ling Yi moved his hands, feeling an exhilarating surge of power within him. "After this incident at the Lin family, I will focus on cultivation until I reach the Dongyang Empire."

Tianyan responded: 【Good.】

...

The next day, the three of them went to ask Teacher Mu for leave.

Upon learning that the three were heading to the Lin residence, Teacher Mu said earnestly, "The people from Prince Ming's residence have been keeping an eye on the academy. If you leave the academy at this time, they will definitely take action against you."

Ling Yi said, "Teacher, we understand all of this, but we can't hide in the academy forever. I want to take this opportunity to resolve this matter so that we can calm down and prepare for the qualifying competition."

Teacher Mu looked at Ling Yi: "You killed Teacher Xu back then. Although we don't know how you did it, the fact that you were able to kill him means you have a way to protect yourself. But this time you're facing more than one or two people. Are you really confident you can come back alive?"

Ling nodded: "Yes."

"Never mind," Teacher Mu sighed softly. "Go then."

"Try to come back alive."

"Yes, I will." Ling Yi said, "Don't worry, teacher. I still have to participate in the Imperial Grand Competition, so I won't die."

"Okay." Teacher Mu looked at the three of them. "I'll wait for you to come back."

Ling Yi and the other two left the Fire Academy without saying anything more. As they walked out of the academy, they saw the Lin family carriage waiting for them outside.

The three boarded the carriage, which headed towards the Lin residence.

...

Half an hour later, at the Lin residence.

Red silk was hung outside the mansion, and the guards at the gate were all beaming with joy. Anyone passing by could tell that the Lin family was celebrating a happy occasion.

"Young Master, Third Miss, we've arrived," the coachman's voice rang out.

Lin Chengtian went down first, followed closely by Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang.

The three of them stepped down from the carriage, and the guards immediately came forward: "Young Master, Third Miss, Master and Madam have been waiting for you."

"Mm." Lin Chengtian responded and led Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang into the mansion.

The three entered the mansion, where they were greeted by festive red silks and smiling faces among the servants. But then... the sound of the mansion gate closing rang out, and the smiles on the servants' faces vanished instantly. They then ran off in one direction.

"Tsk." Ling Yi clicked his tongue lightly. "So impatient?"

Ye Qingshuang watched the departing servants: "Even the servants know about it; it seems the entire Lin family is involved."

Lin Chengtian's face was so cold it seemed like it could freeze. He was about to head to Qinghui Courtyard when he sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy.

The three looked up and saw a barrier descending, covering the entire Lin residence.

Ye Qingshuang looked at the barrier and said in a deep voice, "I can't tell the strength of the barrier. The person who set up the barrier is more powerful than me."

Ling Yi smiled and said, "This is like catching a turtle in a jar."

But they're going to be disappointed; she's not that kind of softie.

The barrier fell, and a group of people walked out of the main hall. Ling Yi didn't recognize the middle-aged man in the lead, but judging from the expression on his face when he saw her, it wasn't hard to guess.

"Prince Ming?" Ling Yi looked at the middle-aged man: "Oh, so this is the old man who killed his son?"

Prince Ming looked at Ling Yi with eyes full of hatred: "Before, you didn't come out of the academy, so my men couldn't kill you. Today, you can't escape!"

"Escape?" Ling Yi smiled, "Why would I escape?"

"You're the ones who should be running away."

Prince Ming sneered: "Ling Yi, I know you can kill an eighth-level spirit master, so I specially prepared two experts to spar with you today."

As Prince Ming finished speaking, two old men stepped out from behind him. Ling Yi glanced at the two men and asked Prince Ming, "First-level Spirit General, is this the expert you prepared for me?"

Ling Yi spent half a month in the library and learned about the cultivation system on this continent. It was divided into five stages: Spirit Master, Spirit General, Spirit Sect Master, Spirit Venerable, and Spirit Saint.

Each stage is further divided into levels one through ten.

The highest-ranking cultivator in Lingyang Kingdom is the Dean of the Capital Academy, a Level Two Spirit General. He is said to be over a hundred years old and rarely appears except when the academy faces a major problem.

This shows that Prince Ming went to great lengths to invite two first-class spirit generals.

Before the lockdown was lifted, Ling Yi would have had to put in some effort to deal with them, but after the lockdown was lifted, they were no match for him.

"Ling Yi, I advise you to surrender, and you might at least have a whole corpse left," Prince Ming said coldly. "Otherwise... hmph."

"Or else you'll dismember me?" Ling Yi smiled. "That's a good way to die. I've reserved it for you."

Before Prince Ming could say anything more, Ling Yi stepped forward, and a blinding red light rose up. The next moment, a brand-new barrier covered the previous one.

"this!"

The two Level 1 Spirit General cultivators' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this: "Her cultivation is higher than ours!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Ming's face was filled with disbelief: "Impossible!"

"Elders, please don't joke around. How old is she? How could her cultivation level be higher than yours?"

The two cultivators didn't want to believe it, but the facts were right in front of them, and they had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing the two old men's extremely pale faces, Prince Ming's heart sank to the bottom: "Is she really more powerful than you two?"

The two nodded.

Prince Ming's expression changed repeatedly. Although he was unwilling, he could only say, "Withdraw."

One of the spiritual cultivators shook his head: "Your Highness, her barrier has covered our barrier. If we want to leave, we must break her barrier, otherwise we can't leave."

Another spiritual cultivator said with a wry smile, "But our cultivation is inferior to hers, and we can hardly break through her barrier. We're trapped like turtles in a jar, and now we've become the turtles."

Prince Ming never expected that the plan would turn out this way so soon after it began. After a long silence, he said, "Go and arrest those people hiding in Qinghui Courtyard. I don't believe she has no feelings for her family at all."

"Yes." A spiritual general cultivator responded and immediately led the spiritual master to Qinghui Courtyard.

Ling Yi set up the barrier and then noticed someone leaving, but it didn't matter; they couldn't leave the Lin residence.

"Come on, let me see the strength of a first-level spirit general." With that, Ling Yi dashed out like a bolt of lightning.

No one could see Ling Yi's figure clearly. Prince Ming and the group of cultivators were all on high alert. Just as everyone was on high alert, two slender hands landed on Prince Ming's shoulders.

Prince Ming froze instantly, completely unable to move. The next moment, he heard Ling Yi's laughter: "Thank you for bringing so many people, allowing me to go on a killing spree."

In return, I can prioritize your method of death.
