Seeing Lin Xun fall silent, a hint of a smile curved Lin Xuefeng’s lips.
“Lin Xun, I know you’re very tired and you have many things to take care of. But with your ability, you can’t bear such a heavy responsibility,” Lin Xuefeng said gently. “Leave it to me and you won’t have to be so tired. I will support the entire Lin Family.”
All eyes shifted to Lin Xun.
Many people felt that Lin Xuefeng had shown utmost sincerity and that Lin Xun should accept his proposal.
Lin Zhong’s face grew overcast and troubled. He had thought that they were here for a duel, but it turned out there were so many dirty tricks hidden behind it
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let Young Master come here!
“Ahh.” Lin Xun broke the silence with a long sigh. “I never thought I would meet someone who understands my situation in the Lin Family. Most importantly, that person willingly wants to share my burden.”
Everyone was stirred up, thinking that Lin Xun was smart to accept Lin Xuefeng’s proposal.
The smile on Lin Xuefeng’s lips became warmer and gentler as he was very pleased to hear Lin Xun’s response. He even thought to offer Lin Xun some benefits once he handed over the power of Mind Cleansing Peak.
To his surprise, Lin Xun quickly changed the topic and said vaguely, “How could I, Lin Xun, deserve such kindness?”As he was speaking, his face bore a look of determination and his voice turned sonorous, “Forget it. Just let me bear the burden alone. As the saying goes, one must sacrifice oneself to save others.”
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe what they had heard. Is that kid crazy? How can he say something so shameless?
The smile froze on Lin Xuefeng’s lips as he said in a disbelieving tone, “Lin Xun, did…did you misunderstand?”
Lin Xun let out a deep sigh, “Elder Brother, you’re not mistaken. I’m serious, let me bear the burden myself.”
Everyone finally realized that Lin Xun was deliberately playing tricks on them!
How annoying!
Many people’s faces darkened. That kid is so obnoxious. He could have refused directly, but he dared to play such a prank on us. He has a death wish!
Even Lin Xuefeng, who had cultivated a calm state of mind, felt a suffocating feeling in his chest, and a chilling look crossed his face.
“Well, if you don’t appreciate the kindness, we will have to settle it in the arena!”
Lin Xuefeng seemed to be saying, “Don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Lin Xun smiled agreeingly. “It should have been this way from the start.”
The corners of Lin Xuefeng’s lips twitched imperceptibly. He felt he would lose his temper if he continued talking to Lin Xun.
“I’m so pissed off! That kid has gone too far! Big Brother Xuefeng, teach him a lesson that he will never forget!” someone roared in fury.
”Yes! We can’t let him off easily!”
The others followed him, yelling in indignation.
Afar, Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Daqian and the others couldn’t help but frown. They knew that Lin Xun wouldn’t give up anymore. In their opinion, Lin Xun was an arrogant kid who wouldn’t stop until he reached his goal.
Perhaps, he has to be taught a lesson to understand the situation.
On the contrary, Lin Zhong laughed. This is Young Master! He doesn’t like to show off, but he won’t let anyone take advantage of him!
Immediately, Lin Zhong tensed up again, worried whether Lin Xun could withstand one hundred attacks from Lin Xuefeng if the duel happened between them.
After all, the two were at different cultivation levels!
Moreover, Lin Xuefeng wasn’t an ordinary person. He was a talented youngster who had passed the national examination. He would no doubt bring pressure on Lin Xun.
Lin Zhong felt helpless as there wasn’t anything he could do to help Lin Xun. He could only pray for a miracle to happen.
……
“If you can withstand one hundred strokes, you are considered the winner!”
Lin Xuefeng’s cold voice echoed throughout the training grounds. Instantly, the imposing aura around his body changed, and the misty rain rippled. He sent terrifying qi shooting straight into the sky, agitating the clouds and wind.
His white robe fluttered around him as he stood still, demonstrating the bearing and power of a Spirit Sea cultivator without any restraint.
Many people’s eyes lit up with amazement.
“Remember, I won’t hold back.”
Lin Xuefeng resembled a divine being as his long hair danced in the air and misty rain surrounded his body.
Lin Xun smiled slightly. “It’s best not to hold back. Otherwise, when you lose, people will think that you deliberately let me win and that would make me feel very uncomfortable.”
“You…” Lin Xuefeng’s face turned dark.
Shua!
Lin Xun made a move. Enveloped in a sky blue glow, he sped into the air like a bolt of lightning.
Boom!
A dazzling fist slammed out.
It seemed to contain the power to smash mountains and crush everything in the way. Of course, it was the Mountain Smashing Destruction move from the Nine Heavenshaking Destruction Art!
The space crumbled with a whimper, and the airflow was disturbed.
Huh?
Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Daqian and other powerful figures widened their eyes in bewilderment. It wasn’t easy to possess such terrifying power at the Heaven Dipper Stage.
No wonder that kid dared to accept the challenge. It turns out that he has such power. Unfortunately, he is facing Xuefeng. Regardless of how powerful he is among Heaven Dipper cultivators, he is destined to lose this battle.
Lin Xuefeng didn’t take Lin Xun seriously at first. In his view, Lin Xun was just a teenager at the Heaven Dipper Stage and wouldn’t be able to shake him at all.
However, he realized he had underestimated Lin Xun when he saw the powerful punch.
“Nice!”
Lin Xuefeng grinned. Standing in the same spot, he thrust his hand into the air.
Wisps of divine light gathered and drizzled down like misty rain. It was as though a master painter was splashing ink freely and leisurely in the air.
“Misty Rain Transformation Art!”
“It’s remarkable that Big Brother Xuefeng has mastered this unique art to such a level.”
“That kid Lin Xun is going to suffer!”
Many people exclaimed with excitement, amazed by Lin Xuefeng’s ability.
Rumble—
Terrifying collisions rang in the air, and divine light rapidly spread across the area.
The rune array around the training grounds had long been activated. An invisible defense force shrouded the arena and completely dissolved the impact of the battle to prevent the audience from being wounded.
Da Da Da—
Lin Xun reeled back several steps.
A burst of laughter erupted from the audience. One move is enough to determine who is the stronger one!
However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun smiled slightly and said, “This is the power of the Spirit Sea Stage? It’s nothing special!”
Before his voice faded, he was already charging forward.
His imposing bearing had intensified compared to before. His entire body was enveloped in divine sky blue power, making him look as strong as a dragon.
“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Lin Xuefeng snorted coldly.
Then, with a swoosh, he floated forward like the misty rain, gathering tremendous force to his fair hand. He sneered and slammed his palm forward.
Rumble—
The two repeatedly clashed like two volcanoes, crushing the surrounding space and making the world pale from its terrifying powers.
It had to be said that Spirit Sea power was indeed terrifying. A Spirit Sea cultivator could draw upon the power of heaven and earth with the turn of a hand and produce a power capable of disrupting yin and yang.
In just a few seconds, Lin Xun was sent flying across the air.
However, to everyone’s amazement, he charged forward again like nothing had happened.
“How is that possible?”
“When did Heaven Dipper cultivators become so powerful?”
Many people exclaimed.
Even Lin Huaiyuan and the others narrowed their eyes. Lin Xun has such extraordinary tenacity. Other Heaven Dipper cultivators would not be able to withstand more than three attacks from Lin Xuefeng! I am not looking down on the heroes of the world, but I know that someone at a higher cultivation level always has an absolute advantage. This is the reason why Heaven Dipper cultivators can’t bear attacks from Spirit Sea cultivators. Not only is Lin Xun unscathed after being blasted back two times, but his imposing bearing has also grown even stronger!
Another thought flashed across Lin Huayuan’s mind. That kid has a very powerful foundation. Many people at the Spirit Dipper Stage are no match for him. If he was given a few more years, he may perhaps become comparable to Xuefeng. Unfortunately, only one person can take charge of Mind Cleansing Peak and Lin Xun currently isn’t as good as Xuefeng.
Lin Xun was fully immersed in the battle. His mind was clear of everything apart from the battle. He was completely focused on fully presenting the wonders of the Nine Heavenshaking Destruction Art.
Mountain Smashing Destruction, Sea Splitting Destruction, Emptiness Destruction, Soul Shattering Destruction, Dragon Destruction, Phoenix Destruction…
Lin Xun effortlessly displayed the wonders of the ancient art concealed in the Ancient Heavenshaking Stamp fragment that he found in the Omega Secret Realm.
Even so, he was constantly blasted back. Although he hadn’t sustained any injuries, his blood and qi were tumbling ceaselessly around his body and it felt unbearable.
Lin Xuefeng was indeed very powerful and could be the most powerful opponent, other than Chi Cangfeng, that Lin Xun had faced ever since he started his cultivation journey.
Lin Xuefeng was also a Spirit Sea cultivator like Chi Cangfeng!
However, Lin Xun had undergone a complete transformation.
After twenty-something days of cultivation on the summit of Mind Cleansing Peak, he had completely comprehended the phenomenons of heaven and earth and had observed the mighty power of all heavens. As a result, the inside and outside of his body had mysteriously transformed.
He had reached the perfect realm of the Heaven Dipper Stage and could advance at any time.
The reason he chose to delay his breakthrough was, just as he had told Lin Zhong, he hadn’t seen enough of the phenomenon between heaven and earth and would only choose to advance when there was a need.
At present, Lin Xuefeng’s pressure wasn’t enough to make him need to break through!
Rumble—
The fierce battle continued. Thirty-odd moves had been exchanged within minutes. Lin Xun looked disadvantaged as he was constantly being blasted back, and it looked like he would be defeated at any moment. However, he persistently continued, making many people’s jaws drop.
Lin Xuefeng’s face turned ice-cold. Lin Xun’s performance amazed him.
He had thought that he could easily suppress Lin Xun in just a few moves but now, it seemed impossible for him without resorting to some true means of combat.
He felt a little uncomfortable knowing that.
How can a Heaven Dipper cultivator be this strong? I would become a laughing stock if this matter spreads out!
