Chapter 343 - The Ancestor of Northlight Lin
Chapter 343: The Ancestor of Northlight Lin
Lin Xun asked, “I wonder if you are satisfied with me, uncle?”
“It could be a lie if I say I’m not satisfied with you. But I can’t determine your situation at present.” Lin Dahong said with a wry smile.
Lin Xun inquired thoughtfully, “What are you going to do, uncle?”
Lin Dahong said frankly, “I won’t conceal things anymore since your performances win my heart.”
After a pause, he said with a solemn look, “Most clansmen of Northlight Lin disagree that you inherit the power of Lin Family. You know, you are too young and have no assets to convince the people of the whole family.”
Lin Xun nodded, “I understand.”
Lin Dahong’s face relaxed a lot and he continued, “But the Ancestor of Northlight Lin showed up and decided to give you a chance in the end!”
The Ancestor of Northlight Lin!
It referred to Lin Beiguang (Northlight) the fifth younger brother of Lin FeiTing who was the grandfather of Lin Xun, and the fifth uncle of Lin Wenjing who was the father of Lin Xun.
Although Lin Beiguang lived in seclusion nowadays and he gave his power to his son Lin Huaiyuan, no one dared to oppose him as long as he stood out to speak something!
Knowing this, Lin Xun could not help but be surprised. He didn’t expect that his fifth grandfather, who he had never met before, would give him a chance.
This made him realize that not all the four branches were against him taking charge of Heart-cleansing Peak and inheriting the power of Lin Family!
The attitude shown by Northlight Lin proved that Lin Xun should strive for their support.
“What chance?”
Lin Xun asked curiously.
Lin Dahong took a deep breath and said, “It’s very simple. Go Northlight Lin in person a month later to fight with your brother Lin Xuefeng.”
“If you win the fight, my ancestor will see you in person.”
“If you lose…”
Speaking of this, Lin Dahong hesitated.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and he asked with a smile, “If I fail, I will lose the qualification to be recognized by Northlight Lin, right?”
Lin Dahong smiled bitterly and nodded, “This is the best result that my ancestor has tried to get for you Although his words are weighted in his high position, he should consider for his clansmen.”
Lin Xun said with thoughts, “I really reject this kind of test, and I don’t think that I need to be recognized by others to inherit the power of Heart-cleansing Peak, but since it’s arranged by my fifth granduncle, it seems that I would be an insensible man if I refuse his kindness.”
Lin Dahong said excitedly, “You agree?”
Lin Xun nodded, “I don’t want to fight completely against all clansmen. I would be very happy if I could solve the conflicts in this way.”
Lin Xun asked then, “Who is Lin Xuefeng?”
Lin Dahong immediately introduced Lin Xuefeng to Lin Xun.
Lin Xuefeng, the son of Lin Huaiyuan, the current leader of Northlight Lin, was Lin Xun’s cousin according to your positions in the family hierarchy.
This man was 18 years old, talented and savvy. He condensed the top Pond of Spiritual Power, Misty Land, when he promoted his cultivation to Human-gang Realm at the age of 16, causing a sensation in Northlight Lin. So he was praised as the most dazzling man in the younger generation of the clan!
Now, Lin Xuefeng was in Heaven-gang Realm. His strength was more unpredictable.
“He had the top Pond of Spiritual Power in 16 and reached Heaven-gang Realm in 18… It seems that Lin Xuefeng is really amazing. He is even better than some trainees who had successfully graduated from Bloodthirsty Camp… ”
Lin Xun was lost in thought.
As Northlight Lin gave such an opportunity to him, it would not be an easy test.
He didn’t expect that they would send Lin Xuefeng, such a strong young man to fight with him.
But this made him feel more relaxed. After all, he was not afraid of anyone in any Gang Spirit Realms!
However, Lin Dahong advised, “Don’t be careless. Xuefeng has secluded to practice for a long time in order to reach Sea Spirit Realm. It’s inferred that he will be able to make a breakthrough smoothly within seven days…”
Lin Xun’s eyes shrank.
Here was triumph card in Lin Xuefeng’s hand!
It was bulling to let him fight with a top youngster who just breaks through to Sea Spirit Realm.
It was not just the names were different between the two realms. It was a huge gap between the powers!
The most important thing was that Sea Spirit Realm practitioners were able to fly in the air and control the weather. They could not only hurt people without touching them, but also take the advantage of the spirit of earth and heaven!
Everyone knew, Earth-gang Realm practitioners couldn’t take use of the power from heaven!
Lin Xun’s silence made Lin Dahong feel a thump in his heart, “This duel is really difficult to deal with. But it isn’t a simple thing to inherit the power of the clan either? The Ancestor of Northlight Lin didn’t intend to embarrass you. He will accept you as long as you can withstand a hundred strikes from Lin Xuefeng. ”
Lin Xun hummed, but Lin Dahong couldn’t detect Lin Xun’s thoughts through Lin Xun’s emotionless face.
Lin Dahong felt more worried at this moment.
To be honest, Lin Dahong thought this test was too difficult to get through. But it was the requirement of all clansmen of Northlight Lin.
Lin Xun suddenly smiled and said, “I can take this test, but there is still a question.”
Lin Dahong took a deep breath of relief and asked, “What’s that?”
Lin Xun continued, “Why I need to wait for a month to start this duel?”
Lin Dahong explained patiently, “In another 20 days, Xuefeng will take part in the Nation Test, so this duel can only be delayed to a month later.”
National Test!
Lin Xun was shocked. He suddenly remembered that he was so busy solving all kinds of things these days that he forgot that there were only 20 days left for the Nation Test.
After Lin Dahong was sent off, Lin Xun was still thinking about the Nation Test as he sat alone.
Originally, according to his plan he made when he left Mist City, he would take part in the Nation Test after entering the Forbidden City.
But after entering the Forbidden City, he realized that his plan would never catch up with the changes. At the moment when he stepped on Heart-cleansing Peak, he could hardly spare much time to practice and rest, let alone thinking about the Nation Test.
Before long, Lin Zhong returned, which woke Lin Xun up from his thoughts.
“Granddad Zhong, there is one thing I want you to do in person.”
Lin Xun claimed.
“Okay, young master.”
Lin Zhong kept listening.
Lin Xun took out his pen and paper, wrote a full page and handed it to Lin Zhong. He ordered then, “Give this to Shi Yu, the third Childe of Keystone Business, and let him spread what is said in the paper by all means.”
Lin Zhong took the paper in his hand. He was even shocked by just glancing at it carelessly.
There was not a shocking secret on it, but some introduction about Lin Xun himself.
The most striking line for Lin Zhong was that Lin Xun took the first place in the Province Test of Southwest Province as a Human-gang Realm practitioner at that time.
This was not new in the southwest province, but for Lin Zhong, it struck him heavily like a lightning.
Only by then did he know that his young master had made such a brilliant achievement!
The First place in the Province Test!
There were only thirty-four first places of thirty-four provinces in the Empire. His young master was one of these first places!
The most shocking thing was that at that time, his young master was only a man of Human-gang Realm.
Lin Zhong’s shock was soon replaced by confusion. His young master should have told something about his current situation in this paper.
When he saw the sentences that Lin Xun had no choice but to give up his participation in the Nation Test due to his troubles, Lin Zhong was stiff and worried.
He could not help asking, “Young master, are you really not going to take part in the Nation Test?”
Lin Xun answered casually, “I am struggling at present. I don’t have the mind and enough time to pay attention to such matters. So I don’t want to participate.”
Lin Zhong seemed to be unwilling to hear this. He tried to persuade Lin Xun, “Young master, this is the Nation Test! Don’t… don’t you think about it again? ”
Lin Xun was determined and said, “Granddad Zhong, I’m only 15 years old this year. It doesn’t matter if I miss a Nation Test this year. It won’t be late after I settle Heart-cleansing Peak down.”
Lin Zhong’s face was full of unspeakable disappointment. He stopped talking more and sighed. Finally, he turned away with the paper.
Seeing Lin Zhong leave, Lin Xun could not help sighing too. How would he not want to participate in the Nation Test?
But the cruel realities forced him to give up!
“Zhu Laosan, thanks a lot this time. You can go back to have a rest now.”
Lin Xun suddenly opened his mouth and looked at the majestic man who was always standing like a statue.
Zhu Laosan nodded and strode out without leaving a word.
But when he came out of the hall, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Persistence is not necessarily a good thing. Giving up is not always a bad thing.”
His voice was deep and reverberating in the vast hall, while his figure had disappeared.
Lin Xun was stunned and suddenly laughed. Zhu Laosan was not a dull man at all.
After a stretch, Lin Xun turned around and walked up to the quiet room on the third floor of the hall.
Dealing with all kinds of things cost him a lot of time and energy every day. Lin Xun had to seize all available time to practice.
The opponent he would face in a month was the most dazzling figure of the younger generation of Northlight Lin, who also had the qualification to participate in the Nation Test!
The most important thing was that this person must have already reached Sea Spirit Realm at that time!
Therefore, Lin Xun did not dare to be careless.
After picking a thread of root of Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng, Lin Xun opened his mouth, swallowed it and began to practice with his legs crossed.
Soon, his handsome figure was shrouded in wisps of vapour, vague and dreamy.
At the same time, in the meeting hall of Westbrook Lin
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, which made the two guards stationed outside the hall have a feeling of suffocation and fear.
Xiao Fengru, Shi Zhan and Chang Ziheng, three Guest Deacons, whose cultivation had been abolished, were kneeling down on the ground, looking bleak and shivering.
