If giving birth to an Origin Power Seed was opening the door to the Martial Dao,
Then the Earthly Yuan Realm was truly stepping into the hall of the Martial Dao.
In Qingyang Town, the Earthly Yuan Realm was already a pillar of strength within a faction.
Very few people could reach the Earthly Yuan Realm before the age of twenty.
Lin Yun and Lin Dong were only sixteen or seventeen years old.
This wasn't the most important thing. As far as she knew, Lin Dong had only started cultivating this year, and at most, he had only cultivated for a year. Although Lin Yun had started cultivating earlier, his family background meant he had no resources to speak of.
Compared to Lei Li, their conditions were not on the same level at all, and they couldn't even compare to her.
However, under such conditions, the two of them were actually able to break through to the Earthly Yuan Realm.
This truly shocked Lin Xia and made it hard for her to believe. Although she had already gained a deep understanding of their talent, she still couldn't accept it for a while.
That was the Earthly Yuan Realm! For her, it would take at least another year.
Seeing Lin Xia's expression of doubting life, Lin Yun couldn't offer any comfort... The world of cheats was something mortals couldn't understand.
Lin Yun and Lin Dong exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
They both knew each other had secrets, but they didn't pry. They quietly developed, secretly competed, wanting to amaze each other.
As more and more teams arrived, the Beast Horn Arena gradually became crowded and the atmosphere lively.
Before long, there was an uproar as the teams from the Lei Family and Xie Family arrived.
These two local families of Qingyang Town had dominated here for many years and had great influence. Everyone's eyes turned towards them.
Due to the rise of the Mad Blade Martial Hall and the Lin Clan in recent years, the Lei Family and Xie Family had been forced to form an alliance. Coupled with their marriage ties, the two families were now inseparable.
At this moment, they entered together.
The patriarchs of the Lei and Xie Families walked side by side at the front of the team.
Lin Xia stood beside Lin Yun and Lin Dong, introducing them, these two homebodies, to the important figures of the Lei and Xie Families.
"The one walking on the left is the Lei Family patriarch, named Lei Bao."
Lin Yun looked over. It was an old man wearing a light gray silk robe, who looked about the same age as Lin Zhentian. His eyes were deeply set, appearing quite stern.
"The middle-aged man next to Lei Bao is the Xie Family patriarch, Xie Qian."
Xie Qian seemed to always have a smile on his face, looking very amiable.
"Don't be fooled by how kind that old guy looks, he's actually very sinister and cunning. He has a nickname, 'Smiling Tiger'."
Lin Xia whispered her complaint.
How could someone who could become a family patriarch be simple... Lin Yun secretly sized up the two of them. From their bodies, he felt a powerful aura, the pressure of Heavenly Yuan Realm experts.
Neither of them deliberately restrained their aura, clearly to display their strength.
Behind the two patriarchs, Lin Yun saw two familiar figures, Lei Li and Xie Yingying.
At this moment, the two families had walked to the front of the Lin Clan.
Lei Bao said, "Hehe, Lin Zhentian, long time no see. It seems your old bones are still as tough as ever."
"Old man Lei, don't worry, these old bones of mine will enter the coffin a step later than yours," Lin Zhentian replied with a smile.
The two exchanged pleasantries, both with bright smiles, seemingly having a very enjoyable conversation. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were close friends.
However, their words were laced with barbs.
"With so many things to worry about, it's not easy to live a long life," Lei Bao said with a faint smile.
His gaze swept over the Lin Clan members, pausing on Lin Xiao. He seemed to sense the powerful Origin Power fluctuations emanating from the latter's body and subtly furrowed his brow.
Clearly, he also knew that Lin Xiao's strength had recovered.
He was quite wary of the Lin Clan having an additional Heavenly Yuan Realm expert.
His gaze continued to sweep backward, landing on Lin Yun.
Four months ago, after the conflict between Lin Yun and Lei Li, he had personally asked Lei Li.
Lei Li's evaluation was, "He has some martial arts talent, but he's not worth worrying about."
"Is this the genius who has recently risen to fame in the Lin Clan?" Lei Bao's deeply set eyes, like those of a venomous snake, stared at Lin Yun, and a powerful aura pressed down.
Although Lei Li said he was confident he could defeat Lin Yun, Lei Bao didn't fully believe it. If it was so difficult for Body Tempering Ninth Layer to fight Body Tempering Eighth Layer, this Lin Yun was clearly not simple.
"Hmm? This old dog..." Lin Yun felt the pressure from Lei Bao and frowned slightly, but he didn't feel much.
Although the other party was one realm higher than him, this bit of pressure was like a small dish to Lin Yun, who carried a daily load of three hundred jin and had a mental attribute of 17 points.
However, Lin Yun, who was supposed to cooperate with the performance, still tried his best to act.
To cooperate with the other party and achieve the effect the other party wanted, he appropriately showed great pressure and a panicked expression.
This child is indeed not worth worrying about... Lei Bao's brows instantly relaxed, feeling that compared to his own Lei Li, the gap with this Lin Yun was evident.
"Hmph!" Lei Li, who was behind Lei Bao, snorted proudly. After breaking through to the Earthly Yuan Realm, he could also face the pressure given by his grandfather calmly.
Lin Zhentian quickly noticed, frowned, and subtly blocked in front of Lin Yun, saying indifferently, "Old man Lei is too kind. Lin Yun is just a little-known figure and cannot compare to your Lei Family's Lei Li."
"Heh heh, whether we can compete or not, you'll know once the hunt begins. Your Lin Clan just needs to prepare the prize money," Lei Bao said with a laugh, walking past the Lin Clan.
As Lei Li passed by Lin Yun, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the latter and the younger generation of the Lin Clan beside him, including Lin Dong, Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and Lin Hong. He suddenly chuckled in a low voice, "Lin Yun, there are quite a few demonic beasts in the hunt. You need to be careful, don't even fail to reach the central Giant Platform. I'll be waiting for you there."
After breaking through to the Earthly Yuan Realm, Lei Li felt confident again, forgetting the embarrassment Lin Yun had caused him before.
The younger generation of the Lin Clan had ugly expressions, glaring angrily at Lei Li.
"You should reach the Giant Platform first before you talk," Lin Yun said indifferently, completely unaffected by Lei Li's words.
He no longer put Lei Li in his eyes; his imaginary enemy had become Lei Li's grandfather, Lei Bao.
Now, Lin Yun was thinking about how to use this hunting event as an opportunity to take care of Lei Li first and mess with the mindset of the Lei and Xie Families.
As a member of the Lin Clan, he was destined to be an enemy of the Lei and Xie Families. If there was an opportunity to weaken their strength, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
"Hmph!" Lei Li sneered and followed the Lei Family's group.
"The Mad Blade Martial Hall is here," another commotion arose at this moment.
A group of people wearing clothes embroidered with the Mad Blade emblem swaggered onto the Beast Horn Arena.
The master of the Mad Blade Martial Hall was Raging Thunder Saber Luo Cheng.
This was a ruthless man. It was said that when he first established himself in Qingyang Town, he fought Lei Bao. He took three palms from Lei Bao head-on and slashed Lei Bao's chest with a saber. That desperate stance directly made the Lei and Xie Families tremble.
From then on, he firmly established himself in Qingyang Town.
The actions and style of the people from the Mad Blade Martial Hall were also exactly like Luo Cheng's.
Upon arriving in front of the Lin Clan, Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian had a deep and friendly exchange. Although the two sides had not officially formed an alliance, under the pressure of the Lei and Xie Families, they tacitly maintained a friendly relationship.
"How is it? Are you confident in dealing with Lei Li and Xie Yingying, that pair of scumbags?" Wu Yun came up to Lin Yun and chuckled.
"You'll know when the time comes," Lin Yun said, pretending to be profound.
"That pair of scumbags is not simple, you know. If you need my help, just say so," Wu Yun patted Lin Yun's shoulder, looking as if he was urging him to invite him.
"Not needed for now, thank you," Lin Yun said indifferently.
He had no intention of cooperating with Wu Yun.
Because he already had other plans.
"You guy, I'd like to see how you handle it then."
Wu Yun didn't get a response and left grumbling. He was the dignified Chief Disciple of the Mad Blade Martial Hall, he didn't beg people!
At worst, he would confront Lei Li head-on after Lin Yun was defeated by him.
"Lin Yun, why did you refuse Wu Yun? Although this guy is arrogant, his strength is good. With him, we'll have a greater chance of dealing with Lei Li," Lin Xia asked in confusion.
Lin Dong and the others also looked at Lin Yun with some doubt.
"I have my own plans," Lin Yun smiled mysteriously, not explaining too much.
In the original work, Lin Dong and Wu Yun cooperated and indeed tricked Lei Li and Xie Yingying.
However, three Fire Python Tiger cubs would appear in this hunting event. Lin Yun was not prepared to share the Fire Python Tigers with others.
He wanted to monopolize the three tigers, or perhaps four tigers!
At this moment, the opening ceremony of the hunting event began. Lei Bao stood up and spoke a lot, generally introducing the rules.
Then, identity tokens were distributed, and those participating in the hunt went onto the Beast Horn Platform.
As Lei Bao announced the start of the event.
Everyone leaped down from the platform and entered the jungle.
"I'll go first!" Lin Yun said to Lin Xia and the others. Without waiting for their reaction, he directly jumped into the jungle.
As the jungle concealed Lin Yun's figure, he immediately used the Flowing Wind Movement Technique, turning into a streak of light and surpassing everyone.
Now, Lin Yun's Flowing Wind Movement Technique was close to perfection. His speed was so fast that let alone these younger generation members, even among those in the Earthly Yuan Realm, few could compare with him.
Lin Yun was far ahead, and soon no one could see his figure.
While running towards the depths of the jungle, Lin Yun carefully scanned the surroundings. His current mental fluctuations could cover a radius of five hundred meters.
There were many demonic beasts in the jungle, but Lin Yun bypassed them one by one, not provoking them.
His goal was clear: the Fire Python Tigers.
A moment later, Lin Yun arrived at an open rocky area. Through his mental sensing, he discovered four demonic beast auras in the cave below the rocks.
One was strong and three were weak. The three weak auras were faint, and if Lin Yun's mental attribute wasn't higher than ordinary people's, he might not have been able to sense them.
Undoubtedly, this must be the family of four Fire Python Tigers.
An adult Fire Python Tiger possessed strength comparable to a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert.
Lin Yun knew the plot. At this time, the Fire Python Tiger mother was severely injured and couldn't display the strength of the Heavenly Yuan Realm at all.
He cautiously approached the Rock Cave.
"Roar!"
As soon as he got close to the cave entrance, a tiger roar came from inside.
A fiery shadow rushed out. It was a demonic beast about a zhang tall. Its entire body was covered in fiery fur. Its head was a tiger's head that looked extremely violent and fierce. Its tail coiled on its back, its forked tongue flicking out, like a fire python.
This appearance was undoubtedly that of a Fire Python Tiger.
However, at this moment, this Fire Python Tiger, which should have been majestic, appeared exceptionally weak. Streams of fresh blood continuously gushed from its body, staining the underground soil where it lay blood-red. It was clearly severely injured.
Coupled with having just given birth to cubs, it was already extremely weak. If not treated, it probably wouldn't last long.
It was only holding on now, protecting its cubs.
Lin Yun began to create a mission.
[Mission: Rescue and adopt the Fire Python Tiger family. Reward: One bottle of Fifth Grade Returning Spring Pills, an Elite Grade Mental Secret Manual "Beast Taming Art".]
