NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6
“Who?!”
The sudden voice startled the three of them.
When they turned their heads and saw Lin Yuan, they looked even more bewildered.
In just a few moments of their conversation, this young man who appeared to be young quietly sneaked up behind them?
“You…”
The scholar seemed to realize something, his face changed, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Yuan’s cold smile rapidly enlarged in their line of sight.
With a few muffled sounds and short screams.
Lin Yuan weighed the extra two hundred silver taels in his hand and put them in his money bag.
He had no psychological burden in teaching these scammers a lesson.
Let alone these three guys who were not satisfied with their greed. With thirty taels of silver not enough, they targeted him again.
Ignorant!
With a cold glance at the three people lying unconscious on the ground, Lin Yuan calmly walked out of the alley.
He bought two strings of candied haws by the road, returned to his younger sister, handed her one, and disappeared with a smile on his face on the street.
A moment later.
Someone passed by the alley and glanced inside, suddenly exclaimed.
Soon after.
The government office received a report.
“Tsk, these three scammers finally met their match, the person who took action was ruthless, look at this miserable look, they will probably have to lie in bed for the rest of their lives.”
Watching the three people being carried away, a young bailiff smirked like he was enjoying the misfortune of others.
Zhang Tie squinted his eyes and remained silent.
He had just reported the previous matter at the county government, and before his seat was even warm, he received a report that a homicide had occurred here.
Thinking it was related to the Lingsheng Sect, he rushed to the scene.
In fact, nobody had died.
They were knocked unconscious with severe head injuries and all limbs broken.
The person who reported the case only took a glance from afar, saw them lying on the ground still and didn’t dare to approach, which made it appear as a homicide.
“This method feels…familiar.”
Deep in thought, Zhang Tie’s mind couldn’t help but flash Lin Yuan’s handsome smiling face.
The injured were similar to Li Sijin from earlier.
Ligaments and bones shattered in the same way!
Equally ferocious!
Unless precious heavenly materials and treasures were available, coupled with the intervention of divine doctors, there would be absolutely no chance for them to recover in this lifetime.
The difference was, that these three were more severely injured.
However, soon, Zhang Tie shook his head with a smile.
Thinking that he had overthought it.
Such exquisite control of force could be described as skillful, even he admitted he couldn’t achieve it.
And Lin Yuan was just sixteen years old.
Even if he had stepped into martial arts, how strong could his abilities be?
…
Back at home.
After dinner, night quietly descended.
Lin Xianyu, maintaining good habits, had already gone back to his room to sleep.
The night breeze was cool, the stars dim, two moons hung in the sky, emitting a soft light, quietly watching over the vast land.
By the window.
Lin Yuan was playing with the “item” he had just obtained today.
A broken sword.
It was severely damaged, with over ten large and small gaps, mottled with rust, far from its original appearance.
The small gaps numbered more than ten, with rust and patina, the original appearance long lost. Anyone would consider it worthless scrap, even if it were an antique.
[Ancient Flying Sword with extremely deficient spirituality, can be used as simulated material].
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered as he stared at this introduction.
Flying Sword… Aren’t these things only found in cultivation? In this world where martial arts reign supreme, no one has heard of cultivators, let alone seen them.
Not even the storytellers in the streets have mentioned them.
“Perhaps, there existed in the extremely distant ancient times, but for various reasons, it has long been lost in the river of history, replaced by martial arts…”
Lin Yuan shook his head, no longer dwelling on it. In his past life on Earth, there were many legends of immortals, gods, buddhas, and demons – who can truly distinguish between fact and fiction?
For people in the present, it is ultimately just empty words.
“Since it’s simulated material, it can only be used during simulation…”
After looking at the remaining one year of simulated lifespan and a few martial arts, Lin Yuan gave up on the idea of trying.
Capture Hand and Red Line Fist were both in the Skin Refinement Realm, with no room for improvement. The current state was satisfactory. The Demon Suppression Saber Technique and Intense Yang Saber Technique have already fused into the True Gang Realm’s Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique.
One year may not bring much change. Similarly, the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique was the same; progress was too slow without Tiger Demon flesh and blood, it was not worth wasting a year of simulated lifespan.
After careful consideration, Lin Yuan’s tumultuous emotions gradually settled down. At his Golden Skin level, Threefold Blood Exchange Realm, the actual combat capability was unknown, but based on his experiences in the simulated life, dealing with demons below the True Gang Realm would not be a problem.
“I’ll go to the mountains tomorrow and try my luck.”
If he could find a Tiger Demon, then the cultivation issue of the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique wouldn’t be a concern.
The experiences in the simulated life made Lin Yuan realize that even if things were done well, lacking personal strength was tantamount to being at the mercy of others!
To protect those he cherished and to live peacefully, he must become stronger!
Lin Yuan let out a breath, closed the window, wrapped the “Ancient Flying Sword” in cloth and put it away before lying down on the bed to sleep deeply.
…
The next day dawned. Lin Xianyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of her room, immediately seeing Lin Yuan practicing in the yard.
“Good morning, Brother.”
She blinked, her eyes sparkling, whether it was an illusion or the morning sun, she always felt that her brother was glowing, shining in gold.
“Good morning.”
Lin Yuan slowly stopped his practice, his light golden skin returning to its normal color. Just now, he tested his defense, using normal weapons, leaving no trace behind.
Next, if he could break the limit in the Blood Exchange Realm, then Lin Yuan could cultivate the legendary—more powerful beyond “Copper Skin, Iron Bones”—[Golden Skin, Jade Bones]!
