Chapter 356: Heavenly anomalies and divine power

Translator: Flying Lines

Lin Xuefeng rose up with rage, almost falling into craziness.

He had achieved great success at a young age and made booming progress in cultivation all the way, thus being praised as the most dazzling genius of Northlight Lin. What was more, he had won the 79th place in the Nation Test not long ago and been successfully admitted to the Green-deer School.

With such glaringly marvelous achievements, he had long been recognized as the only heir to Northlight Lin.

But now, instead of being able to suppress his opponent in the fight, he had been repelled and injured by Lin Xun, which simply put a great shame on him.

How could Lin Xuefeng not be angry when a lad, younger than himself and only in Heaven-gang Realm, had actually succeeded in wounding him in the duel?

“I did underestimate your strength before, but this duel is not over yet!”

Lin Xuefeng glared with frighteningly icy eyes.

He was completely enraged.

However, Lin Xun let out a casual smile.

He was fully covered in blood and with numerous wounds. With droplets of blood dripping down from his body onto the ground, he emanated an aura of formidability.

This scene made many believe that if the fighting continued, Lin Xun, who was obviously on the verge of exhaustion, would definitely be defeated.

But he should have smiled unexpectedly at such a critical moment!

Why was he laughing?

Many people around wore a sullen look. Was he jeering at them?

“Xuefeng, step down. It’s now been a hundred moves. This duel … no longer needs to continue.”

Suddenly, a majestic and deep voice sounded in the distance.

It was Lin Huaiyuan who spoke.

All those present were instantly stunned and wore an uncertain look. It was true that the battle had now exceeded a hundred moves by a strict calculation.

According to the rules, as long as Lin Xin could stay undefeated after a hundred moves, it meant he won.

All of a sudden, even Lin Xuefeng was wearing an ugly face, with anger raging in his eyes. He had clearly forgotten about this!

So … did he really have to admit defeat to a lad in Heaven-gang Realm now?

Unreconciled, Lin Xuefeng felt awful as if he had eaten a fly. His dignity and backbone all prevented him from bowing his head at the moment!

In fact, he even didn’t want the fight to stop at this moment.

If the fight really ended like this, wouldn’t it simply prove that he, Lin Xuefeng, had been defeated by a lad in Heaven-gang Realm? If this spread out, he would undoubtedly become a laughingstock in the Forbidden City!

It was a deafening silence around now.

At this moment, everyone kew why Lin Xun suddenly smiled. It belonged exclusively to the winner, and was particularly dazzling.

Lin Zhong, who was watching far away, also smiled ecstatically. He said to Lin Dahong next to him, “Hey, what do you think of my young master?”

Lin Dahong’s face darkened, obviously not expecting to be asked so bluntly.

Discomfited, he only gave a cold snort.

Lin Zhong was much happier now. He had been impressed by Lin Xun’s performance today.

He even conjectured that if the young master took part in the Nation Test, he would have cruised through it!

But before he could enjoy the pleasure for a longer time, Lin Xun suddenly said on the martial ground, “Not reconciled?”

What?

Everyone was stunned, and then their faces sank, wondering whether he was going to show off now that the duel had been over.

Lin Xuefeng snorted coldly and his face was dearly gloomy. He secretly swore that if Lin Xun dared to humiliate him with words, he wouldn’t mind breaking the rules and went straight to beat him up!

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun reined in his smile and said in a flat voice, “If you don’t accept the result, I can give you another chance to fight in ten minutes.”

What?

It caused uproar in the crowd. They could hardly believe what they had heard.

Was this lad crazy? How dare he ask for another duel with Lin Xuefeng when he had been so seriously injured?

In ten minutes!

Even if he was given two hours, it was unlikely for him to be able to recover at all!

“Your young master is quite bold.” Lin Dahong laughed out in the distance.

Now it was Lin Zhong’s turn to wear a dark face. He complained incessantly in his heart, unclear about why Lin Xun bothered to do this when he had obviously won.

Even Lin Huaiyuan, who was in the distance, could not help but wonder what this Lin Xun was planning on earth.

“Are you sure?” Lin Xuefeng was doubtful.

“A king must keep his word. Now that I’m going to be in charge of the whole Family Lin in the future, I certainly won’t joke about such thing.”

Lin answered plainly.

In charge of Family Lin!

With an inexplicable fit of anger welling up in his heart, Lin Xuefeng gritted his teeth and said, “No need to limit it to ten minutes. You can rest as long as you think you need to recover. I’ll stay with you to the end!”

A nice offer as it might seem, the words had factually made him outshone by Lin Xun.

After all, Lin Xuefeng had already lost the duel according to their previous agreement. If he insisted on having another fight at this time, it was obviously a bit dishonorable.

But anyway, they were now in Northlight Lin, no one would laugh at or satirize Lin Xuefeng if he really did it.

On the contrary, the way Lin Xun had behaved made many people present treat him with more esteem. Arrogant as he might appear, few people could match his boldness.

The whole place was in silence again, with all eyes focusing on Lin Xun, who stood there alone.

Different from their expectation, Lin Xun did not sit down cross-legged to cultivate. Nor did he take any spiritual herbs to help restore his spiritual energy. He just stood there.

With full of blood on his clothes, he propped himself on his sabre.

The wind blew over, sending his long hair fluttering in midair. There was an unspeakably glowing look on his angular face at this time.

Boom!

Suddenly, a shaft of rampant air gushed out of his body, and dashed straight into the sky, shattering the clouds in its way!

In an instant, a hurricane formed with him in its eye and eclipsed the sky.

“This …”

Many people exclaimed.

And powerful practitioners like Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Zhong and Zhu Laosan all seemed to realize something, with formidable luster surging out of their eyes.

Then, Lin Xin was seen to raise his head slightly and to stare into the faraway sky with deep black eyes.

A wonderful feeling swept over all those present at this moment. Lin Xin seemed to be waiting for something, and it seemed that something was about to befall him from the sky.

Sure enough!

A loud sound followed, which was as if the roar of Thor. It shook the heaven and earth, and send the soul of everyone present shuddering.

What was going to happen?

Many people’s faces suddenly changed.

Before long, there produced shafts of cyan light in the sky, as if some unworldly divine light befell the world.

Interwoven with each other, the shafts of light brandished in the void and exuded indescribable majesty. Lin Xun was now basking in them body and soul.

Right now, his body crazily devoured all of those shafts of cyan light plunging from the sky like a fathomless abyss. And his spiritual energy kept soaring in the meantime.

“Heavenly anomalies?”

Many people on the spot were dumbfounded and speechless. They could feel their soul throbbing under an imposing force from heaven.

Powerful figures including Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Zhong and Zhu Laosan all could not contain themselves at the scene, either. In their perception, Lin Xun’s spiritual energy was right now being refined by a majestic force from heaven!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As if a raging beast, the hurricane engulfed heaven and earth with Lin Xun at its eye!

This could amount to one of those once-in-a-lifetime magnificent spectacles.

Lin Xun stood there, eyes closed. Windstorms swept around him and ascended up into the sky. His whole body was shrouded in shafts of cyan light, emitting earth-shattering momentum.

Many people could no longer see clearly what was happening. They could only see unworldly divine light interweaving and windstorm surging between heaven and sky.

In the depth of the windstorm, Lin Xun’s figure had been completely overwhelmed by dazzling light.

At the same time, every inch of flesh, muscles, bones and internal organs of his body … were forged, refined and transformed by the majestic force as if he was undergoing nirvana.

Boom!

Torrents of spiritual energy billowed inside Lin Xun’s body, and underwent the harsh grind and refining of the “Windstorm Millstone”.

In the end, they all converged in his Ocean of Qi.

“Go!”

Lin Xun whispered in his heart.

An implosive clack was heard from his chaotic Ocean of Qi, as if an invisible barrier had been broken or an invisible shackle had been disintegrated, and thus he now cut into a new world.

Boom ~ ~

The majestic power, which originally accumulated around his Ocean of Qi, now seemed to have found a vent and directly soared into it.

Soon, a cascade of spiritual energy took shape.

Before long, hundreds more cascades of spiritual energy took shape.

Later, they all converged on one place, and turned into a vast ocean!

It was exactly like a sea indeed!

The Ocean of Qi was the root of a practitioner’s spiritual energy. It was as boundless as the sea.

In the past, his Ocean of Qi was chaotic, but now it had turned into a surging sea of spiritual energy!

This was the conspicuous sign of reaching Sea Spirit Realm!

It was only after reaching Sea Spirit Realm that the practitioner truly transcended the limits of mortals and finally owned the incredible ability to control wind and rain and fleet freely in the sky.

Earlier during the twenty odd days of meditation atop the Heart-Cleansing Peak, Lin Xun already had the opportunity to break through to Sea Spirit Realm at any time, but he showed patience instead with the intention to fully appreciate the philosophy of heaven and earth.

Now, although seriously wounded in the battle with Lin Xuefeng and almost on the verge of exhaustion, it served as a great opportunity for him to put what he had perceived through meditation to the test.

Therefore, he just broke to Sea Spirit Realm.

Moreover, he attracted heavenly anomalies when breaking through!

His breakthrough had not yet come to the end till now. The cyan divine light, which came from heaven, was indeed a mysterious majestic force. It made Lin Xun go through an unprecedented refining.

Boom!

At last, his body, soul and all the other areas burst out with incalculable energy, making him holistically transformed.

Lin Xun felt as if his body was about to be burst at this moment, and he could not help roaring up to the sky, with the whistling sound resembling that of the loong and the tiger!

Bang!

The ground started to crumble and collapse under his feet.

It made many people in the field hurry to retreat in horror.

Apart from Lin Xun, all the color had drained from Lin Xuefeng’s face, as if he had lost his soul. His mind went blank because of the magnificent scene in front of him.

Nobody knew how long it took before the surroundings finally quieted down with the windstorm converging in Lin Xun’s body.

“Heavenly anomalies and divine power. I’ve never seen such spectacle at breakthrough! The young master has achieved unparalleled achievements!”

Excited, Lin Zhong couldn’t help laughing with glowing eyes.

At this moment, a blend of emotions fermented inside him. He recalled up his previous master and mistress, Family Lin’s lineal clan and the dark days of guarding Heart-Cleansing Peak alone for more than a decade …

Now, the appearance of the young master was like a light of hope shooting into his mind.
