The dazzling array of monster cores blinded Lin Feng and the others. Other than swallowing their saliva, the few of them were stunned by Lin Xiu's spoils of war.
The four of them were initially full of confidence and thought that with their hard work over the past 10 days, they would be able to narrow the gap between them and Lin Xiu. They might even be stronger than Lin Xiu, but the truth was that they were slapped in the face again.
Lin Wentian, who had a smile on his face, saw their dejected expressions and reminded them in time, "The five of you did well in this trial, but there are too many people here. Lin Xiu, hurry up and keep these monster cores."
Lin Xiu also noticed that as the monster cores were revealed, a few people who were eating in the hall were attracted by the aura of the monster cores. Fortunately, he covered the monster cores tightly in time and did not let anyone notice anything. Otherwise, there might be some jealous people who would choose to take the risk out of desperation and bring unnecessary trouble.
After the six of them called for the servant to settle the bill, they all went to Lin Wentian's room. Right at this moment, a black leopard suddenly popped its head in.
When the few of them felt the elemental energy fluctuations on the leopard, they all raised their aura to the peak without exception, in order to guard against a sudden attack from this unknown Tempered Bone realm monster.
What surprised them was that the leopard actually ignored them and went straight to Lin Xiu's side, intimately rubbing its head against the corner of Lin Xiu's clothes.
The few of them were completely dumbfounded by the scene in front of them. What exactly was going on?
Lin Wentian, who was the oldest, was the first to react. He looked at Lin Xiu who kept laughing dryly and said slowly, "You brat, you really gave me a huge surprise. Did you subdue this storm leopard?"
The knowledgeable old man obviously saw through the relationship between Lin Xiu and the monster in front of him and pointed it out.
Seeing that Lin Xiu nodded his head, the other four Lin Family juniors were so jealous that they almost wanted to eat Lin Xiu up. The four of them looked at each other silently and said in unison, "Pervert, Old Demon Lin, you're really perverted."
Lin Xiu crossed his arms in front of his chest and chose to ignore their envy. There was no other way, geniuses might be envied by others, Lin Xiu thought to himself.
"Old demon Lin, you'll be struck by lightning if you act cool. Don't you know that it's easy for you to lose friends like this?" Lin Feng looked at Lin Xiu with envy and jealousy.
This time, even Lin Yang, who had never been on good terms with him, nodded his head, making Lin Xiu speechless.
"Alright, are you guys still confident this time? Both of us have entered the Blackwind Mountain Range for training, but not only has the gap between us not shrunk, it has instead grown wider. It's time for us to reflect on our actions, "Lin Wentian said with a dark expression. He had expected better from Lin Feng and the others.
However, the four of them couldn't refute this. After Lin Wentian announced that he would return to Huaining City early the next morning, the four of them used various reasons to escape from Lin Wentian's room. They were afraid that if they stayed any longer, they would suffer a deeper blow.
They had made the right choice.
After they left the room, Lin Wentian carefully used his essence force to detect the movements in the surroundings. After confirming that no one could eavesdrop, he walked in front of Lin Xiu and said in a gratified manner, "Little Xiu, your improvement this time is unexpected. You can tame bone tempered beasts, your strength is at least comparable to a warrior in the later stages of the bone tempered realm. It's just that it's impossible to obtain so many monster cores in such a short period of time. What's the secret behind this? "
Lin Xiu secretly praised that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. He then told Lin Wentian everything that he had experienced, except for the part in the Netherworld Palace.
Lin Wentian looked at the calm expression on his grandson's face, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart. Although this grandson of his made it sound easy, how could the dangers involved be ordinary? Fortunately, Lin Xiu was fine.
When he heard that Lin Xiu actually obtained a spatial ring from the leader of the Poisonous Dragon Group, he was a little surprised. After all, even the Lin family only had two spatial rings.
Lin Wentian patted Lin Xiu's shoulder and gestured for him to go back and rest early. They would set off for Huai Ning early the next morning.
Although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, such as Lin Xiu's strength being at the peak of the blood realm, logically speaking, it was impossible for him to kill a warrior in the later stages of the bone tempered realm. Also, he sensed a faint fire attribute fluctuation from Lin Xiu's body. (Lin Xiu had just comprehended the fire attribute and could not perfectly control his aura. He had Lord Feng Huo to conceal his aura previously.) But who didn't have their own little secrets?
Lin Xiu didn't say anything and Lin Wentian didn't take the initiative to ask either. This was a form of trust.
Lin Xiu returned to his room and laid on the comfortable bed. He recalled what happened in the past 10 days and felt like he was still in a dream. He was a young man who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. After knowing the secret of the Netherworld Palace, it was as if he was drawn into a huge whirlpool.
He recalled the coldness of Nine Nether, the gentleness of Elder Bai, the words of the blood-robed general Ye Wang before he died, and the carefree Green Lotus Sword Immortal Ye Fan resisted the Heaven's Tribulation. All of these left an indelible mark in Lin Xiu's mind.
As the drowsiness deepened, Lin Xiu pulled the blanket on his body, then curled up and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, the sky was filled with stars outside the window and a bright moon hung quietly in the sky, emitting a gentle glow.
Specks of starlight shone through the window and onto Lin Xiu's body, making him look like a pitiful child. He was only 12 years old and the burden on him was too heavy.
The hope of the family reuniting was on him, the blood-robed general Ye Wang's hope was on him, and the Wang Jiang Sword's hope was also on him.
As if it was heaven's will, under the starlight, the blood-robed general's red pearl on Lin Xiu's chest was also emitting a red light. In the haze, there seemed to be a general leaning on a giant sword and looking at the young man on the bed with a determined expression.
The red light dissipated and Lin Xiu's room suddenly shone brightly. The strange thing was that the people outside the room couldn't see a trace of abnormality. Only the Storm Leopard lying under the bed sensed something, but before he raised his head, a deep sleepiness hit him and there was a loud noise in the room.
The next morning, the rooster raised by the inn had just crowed and a few stars could still be seen in the sky. Lin Xiu's group of six packed their bags and quietly left the city.
There were less than 10 days before the Grand Competition of Huai Ning City. They had to return to Huai Ning City as soon as possible and make another breakthrough before the Grand Competition. Only in this way could they stand out among the disciples of various families.
Time passed by bit by bit. They had traveled day and night without wasting a single second. Everyone's body was filled with exhaustion that could not be concealed. The journey that should have taken five days had been shortened to two days.
But no one had any complaints. The path of cultivation was like this. If it was really smooth sailing, then wouldn't the warriors in the Upper Realm also become passers-by?
Huai Ning City was right in front of them and the new journey of the five teenagers was about to begin.
Who could get the favor of the Gui Yuan Sect, rise rapidly, and become the proud son of heaven of the Gui Yuan Domain? Everything would be revealed in the City Lord Residence Tournament soon.
