She hugged Aifula tightly, comforting her with a heart full of concern:

"It's okay, everyone is just teasing you."

Seeing this, everyone else joined in with laughter.

But the next moment, Zhang Xinying suddenly looked towards Dongfang Jing behind the crowd:

"Sister Jing."

"You probably know where Lin Yi is, right?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Then, a hint of plea appeared on Zhang Xinying's face:

"If possible, can you tell Lin Yi where he is?"

"Otherwise, I really can't relax my heart."

"I just want to know how he is doing now."

Previously, everyone only heard Jiang Jiaying's description, which might not have been too intuitively impactful.

But recalling the scene of entering the room and seeing the alarms blazing, Zhang Xinying was still shaken.

She knew Dongfang Jing must know something.

Aifula cannot say, but that doesn't mean Dongfang Jing cannot.

Previously, Zhang Xinying hadn't asked because she thought Lin Yi was just doing a normal quest.

But after that scene, she suddenly realized:

For something that both Aifula and the Jade Qilin are silent about, it clearly isn't as simple as everyone thought.

Facing Zhang Xinying's request, everyone's eyes instinctively shifted to Dongfang Jing, the Ice Beauty.

With a blue loungewear that couldn't conceal her charm at all, Dongfang Jing suddenly spoke:

"Haven't you felt that he's stronger than before?"

"Stronger?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, looking at each other in confusion.

In their eyes, Lin Yi was still the same Lin Yi, with no major changes.

At this moment, Dongfang Jing walked to the side of Lin Yi's game pod and suddenly made a statement that sent ripples throughout the group:

"I guess he's probably reached the Seventh Transformation by now."

"What?!"

Everyone was taken aback:

"Seventh Transformation? Impossible."

"Boss Feng was just level 60-something a few days ago."

"How could he suddenly be level 70 and reach the Seventh Transformation so quickly?"

At this moment, Guo Shaojie instinctively wanted to pick up his tablet to check the rankings.

But as soon as he picked it up, he put it down again.

Because he suddenly remembered.

Ever since Lin Yi entered this instance, neither the world rankings nor the battle zone rankings had updated.

This means.

The current data on the rankings for Lin Yi are from before he entered the instance.

Not only that.

Even Lin Yi's information in the friends list was from a few days ago.

But soon, everyone snapped back from their shock, and Zhang Xinying suddenly thought of something:

"Could the recent anomalies in the instruments be because of Lin Yi's Seventh Transformation?"

And if Lin Yi really did break through to the Seventh Transformation as Dongfang Jing said,

then Zhang Xinying's inference might be the most reasonable explanation.

Dongfang Jing nodded and said:

"It can't be ruled out."

Then Dongfang Jing continued:

"Weren't you all curious about where exactly he went?"

Upon hearing this, everyone shivered.

Zhang Xinying looked into Dongfang Jing's eyes and instinctively asked:

"He's not doing a quest?"

"A quest?"

Dongfang Jing suddenly laughed softly:

"Yes and no."

At this moment, Dongfang Jing suddenly asked everyone a question:

"Do you know where Aifula and the Jade Qilin come from?"

For this question, Zhang Xinying almost blurted out:

"Nine Nether Continent."

This is also what everyone usually heard from them directly.

Especially Aifula.

She often liked to talk about the scenery of the Nine Nether Continent when she was free.

But as soon as Zhang Xinying finished speaking:

"Shush~"

The next moment, everyone trembled all over.

Everyone exclaimed in shock:

"Nine Nether Continent!"

Ouyang Hao was so startled by this news that he stammered:

"Boss Feng went to the Nine Nether Continent?"

"Oh gosh."

"Is this considered a paid vacation?"

At this moment, the expressions of the others weren't much better than Ouyang Hao's.

Only Wang Zixin, who was completely clueless, could still innocently ask:

"What is the Nine Nether Continent?"

Feeling everyone's shock, Dongfang Jing seemed to recall something and sighed:

"If I remember correctly."

"The Dark Demon Dragon of the God Kalsa should be on that mysterious continent now."

"It's just unknown when they might encounter it..."

...

Pilgrimage Mountain [Earth Peak], in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts

When Lin Yi appeared here, a massive dark shadow suddenly came rushing towards him. Lin Yi quickly reached out to stop it, saying:

"Little Jin, stop!!"

At the critical moment before they collided, the Golden Behemoth finally stopped half a meter away from Lin Yi.

It scratched its head sheepishly and said to Lin Yi:

"Little Master, Little Jin missed you so much."

Lin Yi gave an annoyed glance at the towering giant in front of him:

"You're Big Jin now."

The Golden Behemoth chuckled, scratching its head:

"I still like the name Little Jin."

Lin Yi didn't continue on this subject but asked:

"Um, has your sister woken up yet?"

It was only then that the Golden Behemoth seemed to remember something and said to Lin Yi:

"Oh right, Little Master."

"Just now, the owner's friends came here looking for you."

"They wanted to take Little Sister, but I stopped them, hehe."

Upon hearing the Golden Behemoth's words, Lin Yi's eyes widened:

"What did you say?"
