Chapter 25: Target
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The final round, Lin Han versus Lin Tian!”
The Inner Residence elder’s voice rang out once more, pushing the current atmosphere at the scene all the way to its peak.
At the moment, cheers erupted all around the survival arena.
To these lowly Outer Residence disciples, Lin Han to some extent represented their wishes, their dreams.
His rise to the top and his strength made the countless Outer Residence disciples surge with excitement.
“I surrender.”
Lin Tian slowly walked up to the survival arena before he said so with a bitter smile.
“Surrender?” Lin Han looked at him suspiciously.
As the best disciple recognized by the Outer Residence, Lin Tian was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
Lin Han’s strong perception made him feel that Lin Tian was a threat.
However, he had just surrendered?
“Outer Residence Greatest Disciple!”
“Lin Han!”
“Outer Residence Greatest Disciple!”
“Lin Han!”
…
As soon as Lin Tian surrendered, all the Outer Residence disciples immediately erupted into roaring cheers.
At this moment, fame indeed followed merit.
Lin Han was now the newest and youngest champion of the Outer Residence Champion!
At the same time, a place a distance away from the survival arena.
Several young figures stood under an old tree.
“Quite a few talented disciples emerged in this year’s Outer Residence Competition, especially that Lin Han, he has such explosive power. Besides, when he was battling that Lin Xue, they were both using abilities none of us could understand,” said a beautiful young woman, her tone carrying a hint of astonishment.
This beautiful young woman was Lin Jiao, who was currently ranked fifth in the Inner Residence.
“They’re just a bunch of children making a scene.” Suddenly, the stern young man dressed in purple next to Lin Jiao spoke, his tone one of indifference.
He was Lin Cai, a genius disciple ranked fourth in the Inner Residence. He possessed a powerful cultivation base.
At this moment, he lazily pulled his gaze away from the nearby survival arena and continued, “The Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party that is five days from now is the one you should be paying attention to. Besides, our target is only one, and that is the strongest one in the Inner Residence, Lin Gutian!”
“If Lin Han’s cultivation base improves even more, with his incredible explosive power, he just might be aiming for top five of the Inner Residence as well,” Lin Jiao did not respond to Lin Cai’s words and continued with her analysis.
“Hmph, I’ll say, Lin Jiao, you’re overestimating these good-for-nothings from the Outer Residence too much. Which year’s Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party had an Outer Residence disciple enter the Inner Residence’s top ten?
Lin Cai laughed coldly before continuing, “These Outer Residence disciples have no resources, so do you really think they’ll be able to wreak havoc using their own power alone? Don’t make me laugh. Just you watch, that Lin Han you talk about will finally understand what a true genius is once he goes to the Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party…”
…
While the pair of them conversed in the distance, some of the Outer Residence disciples watching the battle in the survival arena had seen them.
“Look! That’s Lin Jiao and Lin Cai of the Inner Residence’s top five!”
“Where… Sh*t, it really is them, they were actually watching in secret the whole time!”
Although there was still quite a distance between them, a group of Outer Residence disciples had recognized Lin Jiao and Lin Cai almost immediately.
At this moment, even Lin Han had glanced over.
He had quickly expanded his powerful perception and could instantly feel the strong True Element Power radiating off Lin Jiao and Lin Cai.
‘She’s at least at the peak of fifth tier martial arts, and that Lin Cai is practically a step away from sixth tier martial arts!”
Lin Han felt his heart tremble.
The Inner Residence was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
They were only the fifth and the fourth, so he could just imagine how much more powerful the third and second were.
They might even be in sixth tier martial arts already!
Not to mention that legendary Lin Gutian, who was not only the mightiest disciple of the Inner Residence but also one of the five blessed children of Broken Sky City.
His power must be even more immense.
Some people believed that this Lin Gutian would soon achieve the realm of Martial Grandmaster.
After the end of the Outer Residence Competition, Lin Han looked towards the upcoming Martial Arts Tea Party and his goal was to enter the top three of the Inner Residence.
According to the information revealed by the Inner Residence disciple the last time, the rewards for the upcoming Martial Arts Tea Party were luxurious.
As long as he could enter the top three, Lin Han might be able to obtain a set of top-grade martial arts and a stalk of the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.
Lin Han could not miss an opportunity like this at all.
‘I must get into those ranks!’
Lin Han’s eyes glimmered with determination.
…
Night had fallen and the night was as cold as water.
At this moment, by a pool of water, Lin Han sat on the ground cross-legged.
After obtaining the title of Outer Residence Greatest Disciple, Lin Han finally had time to properly sort out his abilities and analyze his current capabilities.
Constantly coming to conclusions and constantly overcoming his shortcomings was a good habit that Lin Han had practiced since young.
First, Lin Han was going to analyze his combat skills.
Moving Dragon Palm, Quick Draw Sword, Thirteen Gleaming Swords, and Thirteen Swimming Dragon Steps had all been realized to Pinnacle state while Majestic Golden Sun Cover was in Major Advancement.
‘Moving Dragon Palm, Quick Draw Sword, and Thirteen Swimming Dragon Steps, one is a low-grade martial art and two are medium-grade martial arts. They’re slowly becoming unable to keep up with me. The Thirteen Gleaming Swords and Majestic Golden Sun Cover are both high-grade martial arts so I can temporarily continue using them to understand them.’
Lin Han analyzed inwardly.
Along the path of learning martial arts and as his boundary gradually upgraded, he would need to discard inferior martial arts as needed or they would only become burdensome.
In the end, Lin Han came to the conclusion that he needed to look for new fist techniques or palm techniques. Besides that, he also needed to pick up a new set of body martial arts.
After completing the analysis of his martial arts, Lin Han moved on to analyzing his cultivation base.
He was currently in fourth tier martial arts and the True Element that he cultivated from the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor was strong and solid, which made him a match for fifth tier martial arts.
However, this was not enough.
Lin Han’s goals in the Inner Residence were the top three, or maybe even becoming the top.
In other words, if he were to meet the scariest disciple, Lin Gutian, at the Martial Arts Tea Party, defeating him would be extremely difficult.
However, after obtaining the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, Lin Han tried his best to fight for things he never dared to fight for previously.
For example, fighting for the top spot in the Inner Residence through the Martial Arts Tea Party five days later!
‘I’m at the boundary of fourth tier martial arts right now, coupled with the doubled strength from Dragon Emperor Combat Body, I’ll be able to fight against powerhouses in martial arts fifth tier. However, I definitely cannot go against those in sixth tier martial arts.’
Lin Han realized that in order for him to take the top spot in the Inner Residence, he needed to one, obtain even stronger martial arts and two, break through into not only fifth tier martial arts but maybe sixth tier martial arts as well.
This was the only way for him to amaze everyone with a single brilliant feat at the Martial Arts Tea Party five days away.
After he was done with his analysis, Lin Han heaved a long breath.
However, at this time, he suddenly thought of his battle with Lin Xue during the day and the spiritual power he had used.
‘Spirit Master, cultivating spiritual power is a mysterious path.’
Lin Han’s gaze glimmered slightly before he slowly closed his eyes so that he could use his mind to communicate with the everlasting Golden Spirit Fire in his head.
The Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor bestowed upon Lin Han the most powerful gifts he would need on his path as a Warrior—True Element, his physical body, and Qi-blood.
The Golden Spirit Fire in his head, on the other hand, Lin Han guessed that it corresponded with his will and soul, which was what he needed to walk the path… Of a Spirit Master.
