After leaving the Liu residence, Lin Yan sent Jiao Liang to send Yu Qian to Dragon Gate Pavilion.
He took the time to return to the Demon Suppression Division’s residence and report what had happened to Wu Qinglei. At the same time, he threw the patrol guard he had captured to the speechless Wu Qinglei.
Lin Yan, let me tell you. This Qin Xiang is from the prefecture capital’s Divine Weapon Valley after all. He has a strong background. It’s not wise to become enemies with him.”
Lin Yan said helplessly, “Deputy Issuer, you know that I don’t like to be in the limelight. I didn’t deliberately find trouble with him. It was indeed a coincidence. Moreover, Qin Xiang’s subordinates have gone too far!”
Wu Qinglei sighed slightly. Lin Yan was naturally right.
However, he was worried that Lin Yan would suffer in the future.
Lin Yan’s talent was outstanding. At the Tough Realm, he was stronger than Qin Xiang. It was as if a sharp awl was kept in the bag. He naturally could completely suppress Qin Xiang.
But what about the Noble Realm?
The Noble Realm was not just about talent!
Without any background, one would not be able to obtain a high-rank Force Feature.
Without deep financial resources, one could not afford precious and high-level Unusual Items!
Without the guidance of a senior, it was impossible to achieve a high-grade Force Feature!
This way, once they advanced to the Noble Realm, the difference between Lin Yan and Qin Xiang in the Tough Realm would immediately reverse, and it would be a world of difference!
The two of them were from different worlds after all!
With the talent Lin Yan had displayed now and the fact that Issuer Liu did not let him participate in the Dingdeng Genius Battle, it was obvious that she planned to take him in and nurture him. In the future, he would definitely enter the prefecture capital.
However, now that he had offended Qin Xiang, wouldn’t he be in trouble in the future?
Perhaps because Lin Yan’s background was quite similar to his, he subconsciously put himself in Lin Yan’s shoes. As he watched Lin Yan leave, he revealed a worried expression.
After leaving the Demon Suppression Division, Lin Yan went straight to the Dragon Gate Pavilion and happened to meet Xie Lingyan. He immediately told her about her being on the list.
“Dingdeng Genius Battle?” Xie Lingyan hesitated when she heard that she was on the list.
“Miss Xie, don’t you want to go?”
Xie Lingyan sighed softly. “I don’t have much ambition. Besides, after participating in the Dingdeng Genius Battle, I’ll have to leave Ding’an City and never come back. 1 still have many junior brothers and sisters here…”
Xie Lingyan was very conflicted. She felt that this matter made things difficult for Lin Yan.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yan nodded and said in understanding, “Understood. Then I’ll cross out your name.”
Huh? Can you just cross it?* 1
Lin Yan nodded. “Sure.”
As he spoke, he took out the piece of paper and crossed out Xie Lingyan’s name.
Xie Lingyan was shocked. “Just like that?”
“Well, to tell you the truth, the whole thing is not so serious at all…”
After solving the problem of the candidates on the list, Lin Yan found Eldest Senior Brother and asked for his opinion on the holding of the Dingdeng Genius Battle in Dragon Gate Pavilion.
Now that the number of disciples in Dragon Gate Pavilion was not as high as before, Eldest Senior Brother naturally agreed readily.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you’ve participated in the Dingdeng Genius Battle. 1 wonder what the previous Dingdeng Genius Battle was like?”
Zang Wei replied, “Four years ago, we were divided into a few groups according to our martial arts schools and factions. We fought in pairs.
“The battle was extremely tragic. At least four or five people died.”
Lin Yan asked, “Then how long did the last selection last?”
“About seven days. Actually, fighting in pairs was not completely for the sake of deciding the winner. It’s just a display process.
“During the process, there was always an inspector from the prefecture capital to supervise. In the end, not all the ten people chosen were victors. Instead, it was based on the inspector’s will.”
When he said this, Zang Wei’s face clearly revealed a hint of unwillingness and loneliness.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what happened in the last Dingdeng Genius Battle?”
It’s nothing. However, that inspector secretly called me over, hoping to recruit me, but I rejected him.
“The next day, my opponent consumed a medicinal pill that erupted his strength and crippled one of my arms.
“Master always thought that it was because our opponent was jealous of us that they set up a scheme to harm me. He was determined to take revenge.
“But in fact, I know that the inspector must have tampered with it. After all, Ding’an City definitely doesn’t have that kind of mysterious medicinal pill that can make people erupt with double strength at the Strength Realm.”
At this point, Zang Wei shook his head. “Forget it, it’s all in the past.
“Now that Master is gone, and the enemy faction is gone, the grudges have disappeared.”
Lin Yan listened carefully, but his heart skipped a beat. “Eldest Senior Brother,
I remember that during the last battle at Dragon Gate Pavilion, there was someone called Li Qu. Was he an old acquaintance of yours?”
“That’s right. That Li Qu was one of the genius seeds chosen in the Dingdeng Genius Battle last time.
“His strength was actually average. He was originally eliminated early, but he was specially promoted by that inspector and selected as a seed. He was brought to the prefecture capital.”
Lin Yan instantly connected the dots. Li Qu came with the young man, Guo Fan. It was very likely that he had the support of the inspector from back then!
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you still remember the name of that inspector?”
“Gu Yuanming. His name is Gu Yuanming,” Zang Wei blurted out.
This person must be related to Li Qu and Guo Fan’s attack on Ding’an City. The next time, if he told Issuer Liu this name, he would probably be able to exchange it for some merits!
However, there was clearly not enough time for the Dingdeng Genius Battle tomorrow.
Therefore, he had to simplify the process and filter the candidates quickly.
Lin Yan consulted Eldest Senior Brother for his suggestion, but Eldest Senior Brother had probably never heard of such a hasty Dingdeng Genius Battle. He really couldn’t come up with a solution.
In the end, Lin Yan remembered that the rules of Qinghong Martial Arts School were very suitable for this selection.
“That’s right. The nine-level and four-grade assessments of Qinghong Martial
Arts School are indeed quite suitable.”
Lin Yan immediately found Xie Lingyan again and discussed with her briefly. They hit it off immediately and invited Xie Lingyan’s junior brothers and sisters to set a simplified process as the selection rules for tomorrow’s Dingdeng Genius Battle.
“Strength Realm can be screened, but we can’t do Tough Realm.”
Lin Yan replied, “It’s fine. I’ll personally test the Tough Realm.”
After settling a series of matters, Lin Yan heaved a long sigh of relief.
Huh? Yu Qian?”
Just as he reached the door, Yu Qian came up to him.
Her eyes were red and her face had recovered a little, but she was still wooden. She looked pitiful with her tears.
“Senior Brother Lin, thank you for saving my life. 1 will never forget your kindness.” Yu Qian bowed.
Lin Yan accepted it calmly and comforted her. “My condolences. 1 heard that you agreed to participate in the Dingdeng Genius Battle?”
A layer of sadness appeared on Yu Qian’s face, but it slowly turned into determination. “Senior Brother Lin, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. I had always treated you as an ignorant fool.
“However, it was only at the moment of my father’s death that I truly understood that 1 was that ridiculous and childish fool!
“I didn’t know anything!
“Only then did I realize why you had been cultivating diligently previously and didn’t bother with me, Mi Tai, and the others at all.
“In this world, everything is fake. Only by strengthening yourself can you protect your family from harm.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for giving me this opportunity. This time, I won’t give up…”
Watching Yu Qian’s thin figure leave step by step, Lin Yan sighed slightly. Yu Qian had finally found the motivation to improve. With her talent, she might really be able to walk a completely different path from before.
However, all of this was at the cost of her family’s destruction. Was it worth it or not?
It was getting late, and Lin Yan happened to finish his night patrol. Then, he returned to the Demon Suppression Division and had dinner with Xiaozhi, Xiao Lu, and Chen Yuan. He returned to his room alone.
After silently reciting the Wondrous Tao Te Ching a few times, he felt the depression in his heart gradually dissipate. After his mind was refreshed, Lin Yan opened his eyes and took out the cloth package again. He also took out the remaining four books.
He was interrupted by miscellaneous matters previously and only had time to continue now.
Lin Yan picked up the “Tiger-Shaped Fist” first and opened it to read.
The Tiger-Shaped Fist was a secret martial art. Although it was one word different from the Dragon-Shaped Fist, the concepts between the two were worlds apart.
If the Dragon-Shaped Fist was elegant, agile, and focused on speed and movement, the core of the Tiger-Shaped Fist only had three words: Kill, kill, and kill!
Everything served the purpose of lethality. Elbow, shoulder, fist, and knee. Any part that could be used to kill could be used to attack. It was firm and ferocious.
Every move, every action, and every force circulation path existed in pursuit of greater explosive power.
Lin Yan could feel the bitterness and ruthlessness of the fighting style just by looking at the book!
It was hard to imagine that the thin and bespectacled Guo Fan actually practiced such a ruthless martial arts technique.
Of course, it was not superior to the Dragon-Shaped Fist. The two had different concepts and it completely depended on the person who used it.
At this moment, Lin Yan flipped through one of the chapters. The more he read, the more familiar it felt.
“This portion of the Tiger-Shaped Fist’s killing move is extremely similar to… Thousand Pound Break!”
The Wang family and Li Qu had both used Thousand Pound Break before, and they were all forces under the young man, Guo Fan. It was obvious that this Thousand Pound Break came from Guo Fan.
Guo Fan had probably modified the killing move of the Tiger-Shaped Fist and created the universal killing move, Thousand Pound Break.
Lin Yan read it carefully, and his eyes lit up slightly. Compared to the Thousand Pound Break, this Tiger-Shaped Fist’s killing move caused less self-damage, but its explosive power was more violent. However, it had to match the force path of the Tiger-Shaped Fist to be used. If he could absorb it into his Little Azure Dragon State, it would definitely increase the power of the Critical Strike again!
He temporarily suppressed his thoughts and put them aside.
Lin Yan picked up the martial arts manual called the Whale Torrent Fist.
Compared to the Tiger-Shaped Fist Technique, this martial arts technique was much more mediocre. Its core characteristic was that its force was heavier.
Compared to ordinary secret martial arts techniques, it could have about 50% more force, but it did not have speed, strength, defense, and other enhancements.
Finally, Lin Yan picked up the two precious Force Feature books..
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
