Dragon Monarch
Chapter 02 - Lin Yan's
14 Years later
Northern Land, Fuin Forest
“Huft... huft...” The breath of a young man growing up sounds very tired like he is in a hurry to avoid something.
In the middle of the forest, a handsome young man with long black hair tied in a ponytail and big, pitch-black eyes was seen running and occasionally jumping up a tree and then onto another tree.
“Why is that spirit beast still chasing me?” That young man was none other than Lin Yan who was now 14 years old.
“Roar...!”
The roar of an extremely powerful spirit beast sounded not far from behind Lin Yan.
“Sial.. I should have listened to what grandfather said that I have not been able to defeat that spirit beast!” Lin Yan cursed his luck for being chased by the spirit beast he had tried to provoke earlier.
Brak! Brak! Brak!
One by one the extremely tall trees collapsed just because the spirit beasts chasing Lin Yan smashed into him.
The spirit beast was one of the rare species in the Fuin forest. The breed is a crossbreed of the Black Tiger and the Iron Claw Tiger.
The Black Tiger Iron Claw was the name of the spirit beast that was currently chasing Lin Yan.
The spirit beast is a species found in various forests located in the Northern Mainland.
Creatures that were categorized as spirit beasts had their own distinctive features namely, spirit beasts had a core within their body that became the source of energy for the spirit beast body.
The core was referred to as, the spirit beast core. The spirit beast core was divided into many categories. For the most part, the spirit beast core was of nine types.
Class 1 was the lowest of all kinds because the core was from the weakest spirit beasts. And grade 9 was the highest of all kinds of spirit beast nuclei present.
For grade 1 alone was already extremely valuable since the monster beast core had many uses. One of them is to increase strength. Those who use spirit beast cores to increase strength are referred to as, cultivators.
The cultivators in the world usually used the spirit beast core to raise something called cultivation.
Right now the Black Iron Claw Tiger was seen going berserk due to being harassed by the young man named Lin Yan.
Brak! Brak! Brak!
The trees continued to fall as the Black Iron Claw Tiger crashed into the tree while trying to get close to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan looked towards the back as he was jumping from one tree to another. His face was extremely dark at this moment as his distance with the Black Iron Claw Tiger was getting closer.
“If this continues, I will definitely be overtaken!” Lin Yan thought hard about what he should do to be able to escape from the Black Tiger Iron Claw.
A few minutes later, the distance of the spirit beast had already reached 5 meters from Lin Yan.
“There is no other way! It seems that I have to fight with that spirit beast.” Lin Yan jumped onto a fairly tall tree and stopped there as he made up his mind to fight.
The Black Tiger Iron Claw came to a halt under the tree where Lin Yan had stopped. The spirit beast then raised its enormous claws and had long and thick nails. That was what made him have the name Black Tiger Iron Claw.
The spirit beast swung its claws towards the tree.
Srak!
The tree was instantly cut apart instantly which made Lin Yan put on a serious expression. He immediately jumped downwards as the tree he climbed almost reached the ground as it fell.
Lin Yan leveled above the ground with a distance of 5 meters from the Black Iron Claw Tiger.
The bomb!
“Alright.. let's fight!” Lin Yan's expression changed instantly as his fighting spirit was burning.
I don't know since when Lin Yan was like that. Every time he was about to fight a spirit beast that was even stronger than him, his blood was as boiling as it wanted to show that he was the strongest.
That habit became something bad for Lin Yan. That was why his grandparents kept warning him not to try to fight with stronger opponents.
Unfortunately, Lin Yan followed his instincts more than his mind to fight against an enemy stronger than him.
Lin Yan's position now changed and displayed the fighting horses that his grandfather had taught him.
“Roar.”
The Black Tiger Iron Claw like it was provoked by Lin Yan and directly lunged then swung its claws which looked like sharp metal.
Lin Yan also did not waste any time and darted towards the enemy before him. He clenched his hand with all his might until the veins in his hand were clearly visible.
Bang out!
Claws and fists meet later. But it was a pity, the moment it happened, Lin Yan instantly bounced towards his back.
Maidservant!
“Uhuk.”
Lin Yan spewed out a mouthful of blood as he crashed into a tree. He was simply unable to match the spirit beast before him because the Black Iron Claw Tiger was a 2nd class spirit beast.
“Sial! I knew this was going to happen!” Lin Yan cursed himself for always trying to fight an enemy stronger than him. He also knew he would not win. However, his blood was always screaming to fight the enemy.
Lin Yan stood up slowly while wiping the fresh blood that was still on the corner of his lips.
“I won't lose!” The look in Lin Yan's eyes changed completely. It was the intimidating gaze of a mighty figure who was unwilling to accept defeat.
“Roar.”
The Black Tiger Iron Claw moved towards Lin Yan again. Now his mouth was wide open as he tried to devour the prey.
Before Lin Yan tried to resist, a person's voice sounded in his ears.
“This is apparently you stinking boy.” a very dignified voice sounded.
The sound even made the Black Tiger Iron Claw freeze on the spot.
Lin Yan's gaze moved towards the source of the sound that was above the tree.
On top of the tree, there was an old man with white hair that indicated his age was very old. He wears loose white clothes from top to bottom.
A strange aura also surrounded the old man's body. His gaze looked very wise as he had experienced many unexpected things while living life.
”Grandpa!” Lin Yan exclaimed in a happy tone. The look of intimidation he displayed earlier had vanished replaced by a wide smile face.
Right, that old man was Lin Yan's grandfather, Lin Ming.
“How many times has grandfather told you not to roam alone in this forest?” Lin Ming snorted a little annoyedly towards Lin Yan because that smelly brat was extremely difficult to set up.
Lin Yan's face displayed an awkward smile as he always tried to adventure into the forest despite being warned many times not to enter the forest.
“Alright.. let's go back. Your grandmother will teach you a lesson later.” Said Lin Ming which made Lin Yan pale instantly.
“Death to me.” Inner Lin Yan because the granny figure that was in his mind was a figure more terrifying than even the strongest spirit beast.
