Wei Tong is dead.
As they stared at the body that slowly fell to the ground, everyone understood that the leader of the Blood Cloth Sect had indeed met his end in this dueling arena. Furthermore, the one who made him fall was a young man who was not even twenty yet.
In the arena, Lin Dong's tense nerves finally relaxed. A sweet taste rose into his throat but was forcefully swallowed by Lin Dong.
The strength of the Yuan Dan advanced stage somewhat exceeded Lin Dong's expectations. Armed with Yuan Dan's early stage strength and Mental Energy that could match the third seal Symbol Master, Lin Dong originally thought that it wouldn't be too difficult to send Wei Tong. However, this duel still ended with a little thrilling.
“If the Yuan stage and advanced level are already very difficult to take care of, then how problematic is the perfect Yuan Dan Stage expert?”
Lin Dong pursed his lips, his gaze suddenly turning to the stands. There, Yue Shan's expression was extremely ugly, his fists clenched tightly, clearly showing anger and killing intent in his heart. He had also never expected that Lin Dong would be so ruthless and clean dealing a killing blow.
"Good!"
On top of the viewing platform, Yue Shan's eyes were extremely dark as he somewhat venomous stared at Lin Dong while spitting out these two words, his voice dripping with killing intent. Yue Shan then waved his sleeve and turned around, anyone could tell that the sect leader of the Blood Wolf Gang and also this somewhat famous expert in Yan City deeply hated the fact that Lin Dong had killed Wei Tong.
And when a figure of this caliber was enraged, the situation would most likely develop into a blood feast.
At this thought, the few factions on top of the viewing platform could not help but throw some sympathetic gazes towards Lin Dong. This time, he had actually offended the Blood Wolf Guild.
However, as he faced this gaze, Lin Dong maintained his calm expression. Yue Shan had long since treated Lin Dong as a sight destroyer, so such an action was not strange. As for Wei Tong, he was someone that Lin Dong definitely had to kill because he understood in his heart that if he did not finish off Wei Tong today, he would have to kill Wei Tong, that savage would definitely retaliate with all his might. Foolishly asking for trouble was one of the things Lin Dong would not do. Even if the price offended Yue Shan and the Blood Wolf gang, it still had to be done!
While Yue Shan turned around, still giving off a murderous aura, the judge also once again appeared in the arena. He examined Wei Tong's injuries for a moment before turning his somewhat surprised gaze towards Lin Dong as he quietly said in his heart: "A cruel child."
Lin Dong's last attack directly caused a fist-sized hole through Wei Tong's throat. No one could save Wei Tong from such a fatal wound.
After confirming that Wei Tong had died, the judge announced in a low voice: "For this duel, Lin Dong of the Lin Family has won!"
……
The battle in this dueling arena was undoubtedly one of the most popular topics in Yan City. This kind of shocking result also caused the reputation of the Lin Family and Lin Dong to spread in Yan City. Many people began to recognize this Family that came from Qingyang City.
Not long after the deathmatch was completed, as many had expected, the Blood Cloth Sect became somewhat chaotic due to internal strife. Although the Blood Wolf Gang tried to suppress this dispute, the Blood Cloth Sect was still in a mess due to the anxiety of their members. Not long after, the once rather famous Blood Cloth Sect disappeared and their territory was vigorously divided among the other factions.
The Blood Wolf Guild was furious with this outcome, yet they could do nothing but rely on influence as one of the top three factions to forcibly reclaim some territory. However, in the end, they were still unable to repair the dissolution of the Blood Cloth Sect.
Compared to the fragmented and scattered Blood Cloth Sect, the Lin Family had instead taken advantage of this situation. Right now, they had not only borrowed Lin Dong's hard-earned reputation to stabilize themselves in Yan City, but had also built up some ties with one of the top factions, as well, The Thousand Gold Association, and top-tier experts were like grandmaster Yan. During this period of time, the wind blew in their favor.
However, although a favorable wind blew for them, Lin Zhentian and the others did not lose their rationality due to the excitement but instead very quickly became clear again. They tried to maintain as low a profile as possible, Yan City was unlike Qingyang City, there were more factions here and without sufficient strength, he said, the favorable winds of this meteoric reputation would probably instantly reverse them.
Overall, although the current strength of the Lin Family was considered sufficient to establish themselves in Yan City, it was, after all they are newcomers and being cautious plus keeping a low profile is sure to be good for them. Especially since they had offended a larger faction like the Blood Wolf Guild after settling the matter of the Blood Cloth Sect…
Of course, even though they were humble, Lin Zhentian and the others had also secretly recruited quite a number of experts. The manpower and resources in Yan City far exceeded Qingyang City. As long as one has enough money, even a Yuan Dan stage expert can be purchased to serve you.
With regards to money, the Lin Family was quite confident. After all, with the constant contributions from the Yang Yuan stone mine, the Lin Family managed to recruit nearly ten Heavenly Yuan stage experts in just half a month. As for those with Worldly Yuan power, dozens were recruited.
This level of strength was not inferior to the Blood Cloth Sect from before, and from a certain angle, it could be considered even greater. After all, the Lin Family still had Lin Dong capable of taking Wei Tong's head!
It was also during this short half a month that an earth-shattering change occurred to the strength of the Lin Family. Although this kind of change was a huge financial burden for them, the situation from before had enlightened the Lin Family that without sufficient strength, you would only end up working hard for someone else.
If the Lin Family had this level of strength before, how could Wei Tong dare be so unrestrained?
…
A manor house stood within a district in the northern part of Yan City. There were some guards standing glued like pegs at the entrance of the manor. This was the Lin Family's new residence in Yan City. Since they were already planning to move their core operations to Yan City, a place like this was naturally a necessity. Therefore, after spending a considerable amount, the name of this manor had been changed to Lin.
There was a small secluded courtyard located deep within the manor. This was Lin Dong's personal inn, his position in the Lin Family became increasingly important so that he could now match Lin Zhentian's. So no one would complain if Lin Dong received this level of treatment, after all, if not for Lin Dong, then, Their Lin Family would probably continue to be suppressed by the little Lei and Xie Families.
In the grassy courtyard, Lin Dong sat on a stone block with both of his eyes tightly closed. All around him, the Yuan Power of heaven and earth rose and surged before finally turning into Yuan Power threads that rapidly flowed into his body.
After more than half a month of secret training, the twenty-two channels of 'Tri Sun Art' had been completely blocked by Lin Dong. The strength of this art was not weak when he used it and was several times stronger than the 'Qingyuan Art' in the past.
Not long ago, Lin Dong had also given this 'Tri Sun Art' to Lin Zhentian. After all, the Lin Family's 'Qingyuan Art' was definitely too embarrassing, given their current status, it was only natural for them to exchange it. Of course, the 'Tri Sun Art' that Lin Dong handed over could only open fifteen channels, he did not mention about the version he had because it was related to the mysterious Stone Amulet. Recalling his caution, ever since he was warned by the little marten, he kept this secret in his heart, not daring to divulge any information.
After replacing the main Secret Art of the Lin Family with the 'Tri Sun Art', Lin Dong also secretly gave the 'Yin Yang Pearl' to his father, Lin Xiao. The current Lin Xiao was already at the late Heavenly Yuan stage and his talent was also far superior to Lin Ken and Lin Mang. Lin Xiao was clearly the one who had the highest chance of advancing to the Yuan Dan stage, thus, this 'Yin Yang Pearl' would achieve the greatest effect if used by Lin Xiao.
“Fiuh..”.
Lin Dong's cultivation had lasted for a full two hours before his tightly shut eyes slowly opened as a ball of white Qi spewed out from his mouth. Immediately after, he stretched out his two hands as a light seemed to twinkle in the middle of his palm. A moment later, these lights completely turned into two Yuan Power light balls the size of a fist. A faint golden light could be seen within this ball of light.
The surface of the ball of light seemed to flicker as a somewhat intimidating Yuan Power wave spread from within.
This light bulb is the 'Tri Sun ball' of the 'Tri Sun Art'. After studying for half a month, Lin Dong had managed to condense two 'Tri Sun balls' within his dantian. Although he had never tested his full strength before, Lin Dong could measure the killing power of these objects. If he could shorten it before the clash with Wei Tong, it was likely that Lin Dong would win more easily.
Lin Dong stared at the two 'Tri Sun Spheres', only when he felt a wave of panic inside did he finally nod in satisfaction. With a flick of his hand, they were returned to his dantian.
During this half-month period, Lin Dong did not slow down his cultivation because he had defeated Wei Tong. The matter this time around really offended the Blood Wolf Gang, given Yue Shan's character, he wouldn't easily let the matter stop. Although the Thousand Gold Association was currently holding him back, if he found the opportunity, he would definitely make a move without the slightest hesitation. Under this pressure, Lin Dong was naturally unable to calm down in his cultivation.
He was able to kill an advanced Yuan Dan stage Wei Tong, yet he was unsure of being able to win over the perfect Yuan Dan stage Yue Shan. Although there was only a single word of difference between the cultivation stages of these two individuals, there was a huge gap between their strength. This point was further emphasized by the fact that there were less than ten Yuan Dan stage practitioners who were perfect even in the entire Yan City.
Lin Dong massaged his temple and could only temporarily worry about this matter in his heart as he whistled.
Before the whistle faded, a red shadow quickly burst into the courtyard. In the blink of an eye, it dashed to Lin Dong's side, the aura it carried caused even Lin Dong to involuntarily raise an eyebrow.
This red shadow was naturally Little Flame, which was brought over from Qingyang City by Lin Zhentian and the others. After being separated for several months, although Little Flame's body did not grow much, the fur on his body became increasingly red, as if it would condense into a crystal protective layer, an extremely exotic sight.
Lin Zhentian and the others did not know why this change had happened to Little Flame, however, they knew that an ordinary Fire Python Tiger would not change to such an extent …
Moreover, what caused them to be completely shocked was that Little Flame had currently been sound asleep one month after Lin Dong left. And after waking up from his sleep, Lin Zhentian and the others discovered that Little Flame's strength had once again skyrocketed. They predicted that Little Flame would even dare to challenge an early stage practitioner of Yuan Dan now.
Lin Zhentian and the others were puzzled in regards to the changes of the Little Flames, however, Lin Dong could guess that this might be related to the Little Flame Demonic Crystal that had been swallowed in the cave inside the mining site that day ...
"Young master Lin Dong, grandmaster Yan sent someone to tell us that you have been invited to his place."
Just as Lin Dong rubbed Little Flame's red fur with a smile on his face, a servant girl suddenly appeared around the courtyard and respectfully reported.
"Oh?"
Lin Dong was stunned after hearing these words. This was the first time he had received an invitation from grandmaster Yan. Since he had always been very respectful towards the latter, he immediately nodded his head.
