Chapter 351: Keeping an Appointment
Did young master break it through?
Lin Zhong was shocked. But when he observed Lin Xun carefully, he didn’t found the unique momentum of Sea Spirit Realm.
He was somewhat confused.
Lin Xun’s breath was too strong at present. He was like a powerful abyss, making flows around him surging like hurricane, which was not power belong to Heaven-gang Realm.
However, it seemed that Lin Xun had not promoted.
What was going on?
In his dark eyes, the stormy whirlpool was restrained and the deep calm was restored. Lin Xun’s momentum was also gradually silent.
He stood up on the edge of the cliff. Wind rattled his clothes and messed up his long beard. He seemed to take advantage of the wind and fly.
Lin Xun took out his saber, quickly shaved his mess long beard and tied his hair at will with a string.
Soon, his appearance was no different from that of the past. Even the weather-beaten color between his eyebrows was replaced by high spirit.
“Young master, have you been promoted?”
Lin Zhong couldn’t help asking.
Lin Xun was stunned by this question. But he smiled and shook his head: “I haven’t observed enough ‘forms’ of heaven and the earth, so I didn’t haste to promote my cultivation. I believe I could break through smoothly as I want someday.”
His voice was not loud but his words were full of calmness and self-confidence. For him, it seemed that it was a common thing to make a breakthrough.
Lin Zhong felt the special state of Lin Xun. Although Lin Xun was no different from the past, there seemed to be some transformation in Lin Xun after the twenty-day practice.
He became more calm, introverted, and incomprehensible.
“Tell me something recently, Granddad Zhong.”
Lin Xun came down from the cliff and walked along the winding mountain path casually.
“Young master, a lot of things have happened during this period…”
Lin Zhong hurriedly followed Lin Xun and introduced it one by one.
By the time Lin Xun returned to the study room on the second floor of Heart-cleansing Hall, he had roughly leant many things happened in the Forbidden City.
It was undoubtedly a good news for Lin Xun that the auction of Keystone Business was held smoothly. When he went to Keystone Business next time, he could see how much money his treasures had been auctioned.
Lin Xun was not interested in the duel between Yi Nian monk of Moon-wheel Empire and Shie Yutang, Young Sword King.
However, he was surprised to hear that they were even.
As far as he knew, Moon-wheel Empire was a small country ten thousand miles away to the west of the Empire. It was known as the holy land of monks.
When it came to the overall strength, it was far inferior to Ziyang Empire. In the impression of most practitioners, Moon-wheel Empire was only a small place that didn’t deserve their attention.
But the emergence of Yi Nian undoubtedly proved that there were also outstanding figures outside Ziyao Empire.
What really inspired Lin Xun was the Nation Test, which had already ended.
Two of the top three places had been known by Lin Xun. Bai Lingshi, the granddaughter of Jinghai Marquis, won the third place. Lin Xun had already met Bai Lingshi in Bloodthirsty Camp. She was known as the most talent girl.
He even clearly remembered that Bai Lingshi was born with the talent property Starshine Eternal!
This was a mysterious and extremely rare soul talent.
According to the division of talent property, Starshine Eternal could be roughly divided into the fourth rank.
The fourth rank talent property couldn’t be underestimated. To have such a talent property meant that she had already surpassed the vast majority of practitioners when she was born!
There were too few people born with talent property in the whole Empire. She could be regarded as one in ten thousand.
In addition, when Bai Lingshi advanced her cultivation to Human-gang Realm, she successfully condensed the first class Pond of Spiritual Power!
Bai Lingshi only told Lin Xun this secret, so he was clear about her excellent talent and huge foundations.
But Lin Xun didn’t expect that Bai Lingshi could win the third place in the Nation Test!
There was no doubt that in the two years after graduating from Bloodthirsty Camp, Bai Lingshi’s cultivation must have made rapid progress and she became completely different from the past.
Lin Xun frowned when he knew Chi Cangfeng took the second place. He remembered that Chi Cangfeng was younger than him even, but Chi Cangfeng was able to get such high position in the Nation Test. It could be inferred that Chi Cangfeng was really powerful to be arrogant.
The strangest name for Lin XSun was Song Yi, who took the first place of the Nation Test. It was hard for him to imagine how fierce Song Yi was, and how Song Yi suppressed Chi Cangfeng and Bai Lingshi. It was so shocking.
Therefore, Lin Xun could not help but lament that there would never be a lack of talents and strongmen in the world. He should learn to be modest and understand the truth that there was always someone who was better than him.
“Young master, I have another thing to report. Young Ke has found out that the ambush we encountered when we returned from Keystone Business that night was arranged by Westbrook Lin, Floating-cloud Lin and Flying-peak Lin.”
Lin Zhong suddenly said, “The strong man in Tao-insight Realm was Old Devil Qu. He was a notorious man in the Empire that good at soul searching.”
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. He thought the ambush that night was arranged by Chi Family, but now, it seemed that he underestimated malice of other Lin’s collateral!
“According to Vulture’s analysis, they wanted to use some dirty means to make you a puppet in their hands, so they could control you without taking your life. It was really sinister to frame up you in order to take the charge of Heart-cleansing Peak.”
Lin Zhong said with resentment. Obviously, he was also enraged by these insidious means.
“You mean, as long as I leave Heart-cleansing Peak, I may be attacked or ambushed by them at any time?”
Lin Xun’s dark eyes were cold.
“That was it.”
Lin Zhong whispered, “Vulture suggested that you’d better take Old Zhu San with you to avoid any accidents when you are out.”
Lin Xun took this suggestion and asked meaningfully, “If I kill some people of Lin Family, will you…stop me?”
Lin Zhong’s whole body was stiff and his face was cloudy. After a long time, he said: “Young master, you are the master of Heart-cleansing Peak now. I will not disobey your will. But please try your best to restrain yourself to kill them. Anyway, they’re your clansmen. ”
Lin Xun said with a sneer, “I hope I won’t.”
Lin Zhong sighed in his heart and knew that the three branches of Lin Family had completely offended Lin Xun.
…
Early in the next morning
Lin Xun left the Heart-cleansing Peak with Lin zhong by the chariot given by Shi Yu.
It should be mentioned that Old Zhu San drove the chariot this time.
Today was the day agreed with Northlight Lin. Lin Xun would visit Norhtlight Lin and have a duel with Lin Xuefeng.
Lin Xun didn’t venture to be careless for this trip.
The reason why Old Zhu San and Lin Zhong were accompanied with him was not only to guard against the ambush of the three branches of Westbrook Lin, Floating-cloud Lin and Flying-peak Lin.
Lin Xun was not sure whether he would encounter danger when he was in Northlight Lin!
Although Northlight Lin’s attitude towards him was relatively kind, who knew that would they change their mind suddenly?
Where Lin Xun was going to this time was the base of Northlight Lin. If they suddenly change their attitude and directly arrest Lin Xun, the consequences were unbearable.
Although the possibility of such a thing was very small, Lin Xun should be aware of it.
Now accompanied by Zhu Laosan and Lin Zhong, who used to be Bronze Charming Shen Jinglun, Lin Xun was confident that even if Northlight Lin had any adverse thoughts on himself, they dared not to act rashly.
“Young master, this is Lin Xuefeng’s current information.”
Lin Zhong handed Lin Xun a piece of paper.
It was written that Lin Xuefeng, 18 years old, the son of Lin Huaiyuan, the leader of Northlight Lin. He condensed the first class Pond of Spiritual Power Misty World in Human-gang Realm and he was known as the most dazzling leader of the young generation of Northlight Lin.
He was now a Sea Spirit Realm practitioner.
In this year’s Nation Test, Lin Xuefeng ranked 79th and became one of the two who passed the examination among the four collateral forces of Lin Family.
Seeing this, Lin Xun was surprised and said, “Except for Lin Xuefeng, was there another one who had passed the examination in other forces of Lin Family this time?”
Lin Zhong introduced casually: “The other one was Lin Qinglan, a descendant of Floating-cloud Lin. According to the family rank, she was your cousin. She was an 18-year-old girl with outstanding talent. She was ranked at the 72nd place in the Nation Test. Both she and Lin Xuefeng had been successfully enrolled by Green-deer School and they would there to practice next March. ”
Lin Xun said with a smile, “I am surprised that there are still some people passing the Nation Test since Lin Family has broken down so much.”
Lin Zhong sighed: “Young master, at the age when Lin Daochen was still alive, clansmen of Lin could take the place in the top ten of the Nation Test. They could even compete for the first place. Your father took the second place, which was only inferior to your mother! ”
Lin Xun was stunned. He had some unspeakable emotions in his heart when he heard his father and mother who he had not met before.
He shook his head after a while and smiled: “I will take part in next year’s Nation Test and win a dazzling result for Heart-cleansing Peak!”
Lin Zhong also smiled and looked forward: “Next year, you are destined to be a Sea Spirit Realm man. You could go to the top five at least in the Nation Test with your strength!”
According to his opinion, Lin Xun, as the son of Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingxu, should be better than both of them! Lin Xun could certainly gain a much dazzling place than his parents!
As Luo Qingqiu took the first place and Lin Wenjing won the second place in the Nation Test, Lin Xun was doomed to be the No.1 of the next year’s Nation Test!
Of course, this was just Lin Zhong’s idea. He didn’t talk in vain so as not to make Lin Xun feel too much pressure.
At this time, Zhu Laosan, who was in charge of the chariot, suddenly spoke in a concise way.
“Here we are.”
