Chapter 14: Go Ahead and Splurge
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Today was the day to register for the Outer Residence contest.
Lin Han went out and walked straight to the registration area, which was at the center of the Lin Clan Sect Residence, between the Outer and Inner Residences.
Only by entering the top twenty-five in the Outer Residence contest would he be qualified to participate in the clan’s Martial Arts Tea Party five days later. He would fight against the Outer Residence disciples, win against them, and become a new Inner Residence disciple.
“I’ve stepped into the fourth tier and condensed True Element. I should be the best in the Outer Residence now. Moreover, my insight has reached the Pinnacle level for several martial arts, and with the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor which can double my fighting prowess, my true battle capabilities should be no less than the fifth tier.”
Along the way, Lin Han quietly analyzed his own strength. He even secretly compared himself to Lin Ruyan and Lin Juedao, the top talents in the Outer Residence.
Lin Han passed through the Outer Residence courtyard and the combat arena. Several Outer Residence disciples who saw Lin Han began to whisper to each other.
After all, Lin Han had gained a slight reputation in the Outer Residence by crippling Lin Shi twice and killing Lin Jian, the top swordsman in the Outer Residence.
That day Lin Han killed Lin Jian, the most beautiful girl in the Outer Residence, Lin Ruyan, had whispered in his ear. It made others wonder whether Lin Han had any relationships with her.
“What a powerful aura. Did Lin Han breakthrough again?”
“The last time I saw him, he was only at the third tier. Could it be that he has broken through to the fourth tier, condensed True Element, and became a true Master in just a few days? He’s like a demon.”
Many Outer Sect main division disciples around watched Lin Han walk over with terrified eyes.
To them, Lin Han was a malefic presence in the Outer Residence. No one dared to provoke him.
However, some people secretly sneered at him in jealousy.
“It’s the taller trees in the woods that get their tops blown off. Someone will eventually teach this subdivision boy a lesson.”
…
Lin Han chose to ignore the fear, suspicion, and jealousy of the Outer Residence main division disciples.
He walked slowly while he wore an indifferent expression.
The tough will he had honed over the years, coupled with the burning Golden Spirit Flame had strengthened Lin Han’s heart. His mood would not fluctuate just because of some words from some outsiders.
Half an hour later, Lin Han arrived at the junction of the Inner and Outer Residences.
There, in a large hall, were hundreds of people. They were all Outer Residence disciples who had come to sign up.
In the hall sat several leaders of the Lin Clan Sect Residence who were in charge of registration for the Outer Residence contest.
Lin Han stepped forward and stood in line quietly.
He had thought that the contest would begin when the registration ended that day, but he found out from some Outer Residence disciples that today was only for registration, and the true contest would begin tomorrow.
To this, Lin Han did not mind.
After he finished registering, he still had a day’s worth of free time. So, Lin Han prepared to start cultivating the ‘Majestic Golden Sun Cover’ that he obtained from Luo Feiyu.
With his powerful talent that was transformed by the Golden Spirit Fire, Lin Han was very confident that he would be able to cultivate the Majestic Golden Sun Cover, a high-grade martial art, to the Minor Advancement realm in a day.
Time flew, and half an hour passed.
The line finally reached Lin Han.
“Kid, get out of the way!”
Suddenly, a rude voice sounded behind Lin Han.
Lin Han’s brows wrinkled as he turned to look behind. There, a fierce-looking young man stood arrogantly.
“Get out of the way if you have tact. Let me register first!” the young man said fiercely with a tone of impatience.
After he spoke, some of the registered disciples around shrank back and silently made way.
The fierce-looking young man seemed to be famous in the Outer Residence.
Martial arts fourth tier, beginner level Master.
Lin Han immediately perceived the young man’s cultivation boundary. However, this young man had a strange layer of light surrounding him that seemed to have a special power.
Yet, Lin Han had now stepped into the fourth tier and he already dared to fight with an intermediate fifth tier Master, much less this fourth tier young man behind him.
A cold sneer flashed in Lin Han’s eyes before he turned around and continued to queue, ignoring the young man.
“Oh no, that boy is going to suffer. Lin Sha is the tenth strongest in our Outer Residence, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the fourth tier.”
“That’s right! Everyone in the Outer Residence knows who Lin Sha is. He’s a vicious person who’s extremely frightening when fighting. Moreover, he cultivates a powerful high-grade technique, called the ‘Blood Fiend Devil Technique’. When fighting against it, the opponent would be affected, and their minds would be consumed by demonic energy.”
At this moment, many disciples talked amongst each other. It was as if they already saw the tragic death of a ‘nameless boy’ like Lin Han.
“You dare ignore me? You’re courting death!”
Lin Sha was born with an explosive temper. Seeing Lin Han turn around with no intention of getting out of the way, Lin Sha’s eyes immediately became ferocious.
“Blood Fiend Devil Claw. Get on your knees!”
Lin Sha roared.
A reddish vicious spirit suddenly dispersed from his eyes. Those that met his gaze instantly felt a devil eroding their minds.
“Scram!”
However, at this moment, Lin Han suddenly turned around and ordered coldly.
There was a golden gleam in his eyes, and in that golden light, the will of the Dragon Emperor roared. The blood-colored vicious spirit had no influence on Lin Han at all.
“Bang.”
The Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor had bestowed upon Lin Han powerful physical strength. With just a simple punch, he sent Lin Sha flying.
“Ah!”
The display of his strength caused Lin Sha’s expression to change. As his body was thrown into the air, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
How powerful!
How overbearing!
With just a single punch, Lin Sha was immediately sent flying.
“Who is he?”
“He sent the tenth strongest in the Outer Residence flying with a single punch. He’s too terrifying!”
At this time, the countless disciples who were registering all looked at the unmoving young man in blue, completely shocked.
Many people lamented inwardly.
Sure enough, whenever an Outer Residence contest was approaching, there would be one or several dark horses who suddenly jumped out among the hundreds of disciples in the Outer Residence.
This young man dressed in blue was obviously one prominent one.
Lin Sha was really unlucky. The contest had not even started, but he had already suffered a loss.
“If you try that again, I’ll cripple you!”
When Lin Han was finished registering, he spat coldly at Lin Sha who was lying blankly on the ground. Then, he turned and left.
In an instant, he disappeared under everyone’s fearful eyes.
…
Soon, Lin Han returned to his residence.
At this time, dawn had just broken.
The little maid, Xiao Nu, held a basin of water as usual and walked over from afar.
However, Lin Han dragged her into the room and pulled out a thick pile of gold notes.
“So many gold notes? Young Master, you…” Seeing the pile of gold notes on the table, the little maid was so surprised that she could not close her mouth. Her expression was exceedingly cute.
“Keep these gold notes. You’ve suffered a lot over the past year, Xiao Nu. Now that Young Master has money, just take it and splurge.” Lin Han rubbed the little maid’s black hair and smiled at the gold notes on the table.

“Young Master, you’re so kind!”
The little maid had never seen so many gold notes before. Her black eyes flashed with excitement, and she could not help but reach up and stick her delicate little mouth on her Young Master’s face to give him a good kiss.
Lin Han only laughed in response.
These gold notes were useless to the current Lin Han, but Xiao Nu had worked hard while she took care of him for so many years. This was something that she deserved.
Creak!
After closing the door, Lin Han sat cross-legged in the room and took out a martial arts book.
It was the ‘Majestic Golden Sun Cover’.
He would take advantage of the last day to study this rare high-grade defense-type martial art.
Lin Han was very clear that if he could reach Minor Advancement, he would find success in the Martial Arts Tea Party, much less the Outer Residence contest.
