Following that, Xin Yun's spirits rose as he directed the ninety-nine dragon-shaped energy flows to merge into one within the Dragon Ball, thereby condensing Yinglong's true form. With ninety-nine merging into one, he reached the unranked Ten Stars level. To break through to the Bronze rank, all he needed to do was to fuse the energy of the ninety-nine dragon-shaped energy flows into one.

Xin Yun had cultivated once before, and the energy derived from the blue ocean also retained their own memories, making the whole process much easier. So, he successfully broke through and reached the strength of a Bronze One Star.

After regaining his strength, Xin Yun immediately stood up, realizing that ten hours had passed. He was unsure of the time outside, but being late for class could have severe consequences.

Yinglong!

Accompanied by Xin Yun's deep shout, in an instant... countless blue bubbles gently rose, and then all the bubbles transformed into a whirlwind that rapidly circled around Xin Yun, condensing into a completely blue Yinglong!

In terms of form, Yinglong seemed to undergo no changes, but its color had become unparalleled blue and its body was no longer an opaque, murky, flesh-like form, but rather, turned into a crystal-clear transparent entity.

Of course, Yinglong's body, though transparent, was not see-through due to the refraction of light off its scale-covered surface. These scales acted like patterned glass, blocking any transparency.

Looking at the Yinglong in front of him, which appeared to be carved from blue crystal, Xin Yun was exceptionally excited. Aside from anything else, just the appearance alone was stunning—the crystal-clearness, the brilliance like diamonds. It was incredibly cool...

With a step, Xin Yun rose into the air, and at the same time, Yinglong spiraled upwards, skillfully catching Xin Yun, allowing him to comfortably sit on the dragon's neck.

"Hm? Just as he settled, Xin Yun frowned. Before, Yinglong's body, though not the strongest, was quite solid, with very firm muscles under the scales making it nearly impervious to ordinary blows.

But now, Xin Yun could clearly feel the change in Yinglong's body. Although not soft, it felt like an air-filled tire—pressing down elicited no resistance from bones or muscles, yet it was incredibly resilient and astonishingly elastic.

While Xin Yun was eager to explore Yinglong's new condition, there just wasn't time. Riding Yinglong, Xin Yun dived into the underground river and rushed back the way he came at full speed.

The journey was uneventful, and by the time Xin Yun finally surfaced, the sun was already high in the sky. Seeing this, Xin Yun hurriedly took off at full speed towards the classroom.

When Xin Yun finally arrived at the classroom, he found that all the students were gathered around the hill and classes hadn't started yet. Looking closely, he saw a group of workers constantly transporting various materials below the hill, clearly indicating that the training facilities and buildings for the extra-curricular Class Eleven were finally under construction.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xin Yun did not join the crowd, instead turning towards the classroom, ready to sort out the gains from the previous night.

Sitting at his desk, Xin Yun closed his eyes and slowly released the energy from within the Dragon Ball. Instantly, streams of cool, pure blue energy flowed from the Dragon Ball, following Xin Yun's meridians and circulating within his body.

Savoring the cool sensation, Xin Yun felt incredibly comfortable for a moment, as if he were savoring a fine wine—so authentic, so rich, making one involuntarily fall in love with this feeling.

If Xin Yun's previous energy could be likened to a pool of murky water, then now his energy felt like a stream flowing down from the pristine peak of a glacier, pure and cool, fresh and clear, crystalline to the point of seeming unreal. As it flowed gently, it seemed to elevate the spirit.

Subconsciously cycling the energy over and over, he didn't realize how much time had passed until a cacophony of noise woke him. Opening his eyes, he saw all the students returning, with Instructor Musha walking in behind them.

In the following week, Instructor Musha did not impart any particularly important knowledge. Instead, he focused on explaining the basics required for piloting, akin to elementary multiplication table mnemonics on Earth—a foundation within the foundation. For Xin Yun, who had an advanced mastery already, it held no value.

Of course, Xin Yun did not waste his time. During the day, he sat in the classroom compressing the energy inside the Dragon Ball. At night, after sleeping until his dorm mates had fallen asleep, he would head to the underground river to elevate Yinglong's realm.

After reaching the Bronze rank, the Dragon Ball had already condensed Yinglong's true body, over thirty meters in length and three meters in diameter, identical to the summoned one. During the following cultivation, Xin Yun would work hard to again differentiate the energy of the blue ocean into ninety-nine dragon-shaped energy flows.

Each of these ninety-nine flows would devour nine Water Series Origin Energy Spheres and then gather within Yinglong's body. One cycle equated to One Star!

To form a dragon of the unranked Ten Stars stage after devouring nine Origin Energy Spheres, and to advance to the Bronze rank, each increase in a star level required ninety-nine such energy flows, each having devoured nine Origin Energies, thereby increasing the total energy Yinglong possessed.
