"Lower Category Level 1 Martial Art, Falling Rock Fist? Let me show you what a true martial art is!" said Lin Fengtian with disdainful eyes, as he looked at Lin Shan with his red blooded eyes. One could see how furious he was just looking at them, it felt like his eyes would suck anyone to hell.
Surely, he would be enraged when he saw Lin Shan bullying his "big sister", Qing Tan.
"True Heavenly Phoenix Claw!" Naturally, the power of this martial art was reduced as this wasn't a fight to the death, he was just teaching Lin Shan an unforgettable lesson.
After all, he was intimidating, the cute and gentle Qing Tan! And that was just unforgivable!
Lin Shan's fist collided with Lin Fengtian's sharp claws, causing a loud cracking sound. When the smoke cleared, one could see Lin Shan touching his broken, red arm, screaming loudly in pain as if a sharp object had been thrust into it.
"Ahhhh! Bastard!" yelled Lin Shan.
By that time, Lin Fengtian was no longer paying attention to the crippled Lin Shan.
He moved his red blooded eyes towards a young man, the young man had short brown hair, wearing a robe, his appearance was pleasing to the eye even though he was not as handsome as Lin Fengtian, the young man had a faint smile plastered on his face, looking extremely harmless.
This supposed young man was Qing Tan's older brother, as was Lin Fengtian's best friend, Lin Dong!
Lin Fengtian walked towards Qing Tan and said in a rare gentle tone: "Big sister, here's Scarlet Sun Grass, you don't have to worry about it, it's okay now that I'm here!" Clearly, he wouldn't forget a tiny dash of arrogance.
Qing Tan hadn't responded, on the contrary, her small, slender body floated gently towards Lin Fengtian's arms, hugging him in the entire process, not even caring with the people around her. Lin Fengtian wanted to say something, but when he noticed Qing Tan's body shivering slightly as her embrace grew stronger, Lin Fengtian closed his mouth. Even if Qing Tan acted strongly, she was still a girl without any cultivation, finding herself in such a situation, of course she would feel helpless.
However, the love affair didn't take long when he heard a "cough", turning around and seeing it was Lin Dong and the chubby looking furious, Lin Changqiang, looking at them strangely. Are you not ashamed? Acting so intimately in public and ignoring everyone as they entered their own world!
"Lin Fengtian, thank you so much for saving my sister, if you hadn't arrived here in time, I don't even know what would have happened..." Lin Dong had a face of profound relief, even though he said those words, he couldn't not feel useless. After all, if Lin Fengtian wasn't here right now, Qing Tan would be the one who would suffer contrary to Lin Shan.
Lin Fengtian naturally wouldn't mind: "Stupid, we're brothers, since when have we been so polite to each other? If you don't want something like this to happen again, then become stronger than me soon!"
Lin Fengtian's words shocked Lin Dong as he secretly agreed in his heart. That's right! I don't always have to rely on the power of others, I have to become stronger! And this mysterious stone could make that happen, I just have to be more patient.
Qing Tan who was hugging Lin Fengtian, realizing what she was doing, her beautiful face turned red with embarrassment, but she didn't stop hugging Lin Fengtian, as if she was afraid he would disappear from her life forever. Lin Fengtian naturally didn't object, as Qing Tan's current appearance was extremely cute.
"Lin Fengtian, get your girly paws off my future wife!" The fats of Lin Chanqiang were shuddering furiously of extreme fury like a tsunami, when he saw Qing Tan and Lin Fengtian hugging each other like lovebirds.
The corners of Lin Fengtian's mouth twitched slightly. Your future wife? How come I don't know anything about this? With a sneer he said: "Lin Changqiang, you fat set! Don't talk nonsense unless you want me to make a roast pig of you."
Lin Changqiang's body shuddered fiercely as he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood when Lin Fengtian called him a "fat set". But what could he do about this matter? After all, his strength was far inferior to the latter, so he could only swallow that insult even though it was bitter as regret.
Pft!
Lin Dong and Qing Tan just laughed when they saw the two fighting. They were used to it, anyone would be if they lived it almost every holy day. Lin Fengtian ignored Lin Changqiang, as the latter had calmed down and looked at Lin Hong who was glaring at them, perhaps because everyone was ignoring him. He had already noticed he was there, but decided to ignore him. However, looking at the figure behind Lin Shan, Qing Tan, Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong had a drastic change in expression.
Lin Fengtian's face was neutral, even though others feared Lin Hong, it was not the same for him, as he feared no one under the heaven and earth. As he looked behind Lin Shan, a young man dressed in blue could be seen, holding Lin Shan's shoulder, steadying him and preventing him from falling to the ground. The boy looked to be about 15 or 16 years old and had very nice facial features. A furious smile could be seen on his handsome face, but to Lin Fengtian's blooded red eyes, they just contained a well-hidden viciousness that many would not even notice.
It was Lin Hong!
Lin Shan's older brother and a very notable member of the Lin Family. He was only 15 years old, but had long since reached the Tempered Body 5th Layer, the same as Lin Fengtian, but no one there knew that. At this stage, he only needed one more step before he was able to cultivate a Yuan Power Seed. After that, he would definitely be ranked in the top among the entire younger generation of the Lin Family.
"Brother!" Although Lin Shan was extremely arrogant towards others, he became sweet as a sheep in front of the seemingly gentle Lin Hong.
"And you only at that skill level, why do you go out and embarrass yourself instead of practicing right?" Lin Hong said in a cold tone. If no one there knew about the relationship between the two, one could conclude that they didn't get along, just like enemies...
"Th-that, it was just because I was careless... I didn't know he was in the 5th Temperate Body Layer..." Lin Shan's face reddened with embarrassment at Lin Hong's words, if he only knew about at Lin Fengtian's cultivation level he would not face him without a little caution and wouldn't end up in such a miserable state as he had just been.
"Heh heh, Qing Tan, it's been so long since we met." Lin Hong chuckled happily as his gaze landed on Qing Tan, while an odd glint ran over his eyes, but then it disappeared as if it had never been there.
Although Qing Tan was young, she was an exuberant beauty. Among the younger generation of Qingyang City, many secretly admired her, and of course Lin Hong was no exception.
However, because Qing Tan was so close to Lin Fengtian many did not dare to make advances on her, for fear of offending one of the geniuses of the younger generation of the Lin Family.
Qing Tan furtively tugged at Lin Fengtian's sleeve. Although she had absolute confidence in Lin Fengtian, she didn't want him to get hurt because of him, as that would only bring her regrets.
After all, Lin Hong was far above Lin Shan when it came to martial arts and wit.
He was definitely not someone to mess with, she was afraid that Lin Fengtian would get hurt trying to protect her.
However, a warm hand suddenly caressed her head affectionately, soothing her heated nerves, she didn't need to look to know it was, as she already knew in her heart who the hand belonged to.
"Lin Shan has always been an impulsive brat. However, if you need any elixir, you just need to get close to me. A first-class elixir like Scarlet Sun Grass is, after all, somewhat deficient in quality," said Lin Hong while his eyebrows twitched slightly, when he saw the affectionate gesture Lin Fengtian made earlier.
Qing Tan had a frown on her beautiful face, she didn't like the way Lin Hong spoke to her, as if the two were so close.
Although she wasn't too pleased with this, due to the strength of the other party, she chose not to respond, giving Lin Hong a "cold shoulder".
"Damn, this guy is so repulsive, I will definitely beat him to death in the future."
Lin Changqiang muttered behind Lin Dong's back as he too was extremely disgusted by Lin Hong's words.
Lin Dong who was close to Lin Changqiang just secretly mocked in his heart.
Tsk, there are people who are not even aware of your abilities.
Lin Fengtian looked at Qing Tan who was disgusted by Lin Hong's words, and said coldly: "Go back with your garbage brother, Lin Shan, where you came from. Qing Tan didn't ask for anything from you, after all, Scarlet Sun Grass is already in my possession."
Qing Tan, who heard Iin Fengtian's words, was extremely happy as a warm coursed towards her heart, she didn't know why, but was happy that Lin Fengtian was protecting her from Lin Hong.
"Lin Fengtian, don't be too arrogant! Who are you to tell me what to do?" said Lin Hong, glaring at Lin Fengtian as if he were a curse.
"Your daddy." Lin Fengtian didn't give Lin Hong any face, he felt Lin Hong's earlier words were a little familiar.
However, this guy actually dared to propose to my Qing Tan, even though her parents didn't accept the offer.
That was unforgivable! Extremely unforgivable!
I have to leave him like a panda at the zoo, so even his father can't recognize him!
Lin Hong who heard what Lin Fengtian said, instantly his anger peaked as his face turned red and blue veins sprang out of his face, Lin Hong suddenly took a step forward as his palm flew towards Lin Fengtian's face .
The blast that followed was stronger than before, when Lin Shan had attacked him.
Seeing as Lin Hong launched his attack as soon as he spoke, Lin Fengtian's facial expression turned cold as ice as he stepped out next to Qing Tan.
He quickly stabbed his arm like a sword and grabbed Lin Hong's punch.
Crash!
Lin Hong seeing his punch easily caught, he backed away immediately after they exchanged a few punches in succession.
Lin Hong had immediately felt a strong force and a sharp pain ricocheting off his arm, forcing him to take ten steps back.
Luckily, his foundations were solid, so he didn't end up convulsing on the ground, but he was still better than miserable Lin Shan, who broke his right arm.
"Yuan Power? Only on Tempered Body 6th Layer, why does he dare to be so arrogant? People who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Lin Fengtian had clearly seen an extremely dim light surrounding the latter's fist.
These were obviously the effects of Yuan Power. This meant that Lin Hong had actually entered the realm of the Tempered Body 6th Layer and a Yuan Power Seed had been born in his body!
Even though Lin Fengtian was only in the Tempered Body 5th Layer, his power could be compared to a practitioner in the Tempered Body 8th Layer, that was the benefit of having a powerful bloodline like that of the Heavenly Black Phoenix!
Lin Hong glanced at Lin Fengtian, his brow furrowed. The fact that he unexpectedly failed to defeat the latter and that he was stronger than he was, made his handsome face sink.
Still, he remained confident, but it was clear as heaven that Lin Fengtian was stronger than a Tempered Body 6th Layer, so a normal Tempered Body 6th Layer practitioner was not his opponent.
With that in mind, Lin Hong decided to get even later, but remembering Lin Fengtian being hugged by Qing Tan, his anger rose because he had never once been hugged by Qing Tan!
The dangerous glint in his eyes, hinted that Lin Hong didn't plan on letting Lin Fengtian get away so easily after being hugged by Qing Tan.
With a malicious chuckle, he once again ran for the last one. This time, however, many in the crowd gasped in response, as they could clearly see that his body was enveloped in an extremely dim light.
As he stared at that handsome Lin Fengtian, the anger in Lin Hong's eyes intensified. If he was born more handsome....
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth as he prepared to launch a powerful all-out attack with his fist. However, before they faced each other again, an angry voice was suddenly heard.
"You two stop now!"
Lin Hong's steps stopped immediately when the voice reached his ears. When he turned to look, he saw a young woman coming out of the crowd, anger burning in her beautiful face. The young woman was dressed in pink and looked to be about seventeen to eighteen years old. She was a little older and bigger than the rest, and her facial features could be considered pretty. As her pink ponytail fell to her slender waist, her slightly vertical eyebrows gave her a heroic spirit that she would not lose to any man.
"It's Lin Xia-jie!"
Upon witnessing the said lady, the crowd around exploded. They never expected that the three geniuses of the younger generation of the Lin Family would come together in one place!
"Oh, looks like it's Lin Xia-jie." Lin Hong smiled at the lady in red. He naturally wanted to avoid future trouble, he already had Lin Fengtian as an enemy and he didn't want an additional one.
"Lin Hong, since we are all family, do you really need to use Yuan Power during a Duel?" Lin Xia replied, frowning as he watched the crowd, she didn't know what Lin Fengtian was capable of facing Lin Hong, as she wasn't at the beginning of the fight, after all the latter was in the Tempered Body 5th Layer.
"We were just kidding. Since Lin Xiao-jie spoke, we will naturally stop for now." Lin Hong muttered casually.
At that time, Lin Feng had also withdrawn his fists, while Lin Dong, Qing Tan, and Lin Changqiang politely greeted Lin Xia-jie. This young woman was the daughter of their first uncle, and although she was a woman, she was the most notable person among the younger generation of the Lin Family. In fact, it was rumored that she had already advanced to the Tempered Body 6th Layer half a year ago, and now no one knew how far she had grown since then.
Lin Xia's reputation could be considered very good, even among the younger generation in Qingyang City. Consequently, in the Lin Family, she had quite a high status, and even if Lin Hong dared not offend her, of course there was an exception called Lin Fengtian! He was arrogant as a phoenix and would certainly not be afraid of Lin Xia, even the current Chief of the Lin Family could not make him afraid.
"What's the point of fighting your own siblings from the same family? If you're really capable, when the Qingyang Town Hunt starts, you must compete with the younger generation of other families. Only if you win, then you could be considered skillful," Lin Xia said with a resolute tone that not even Lin Hong could refute.
Lin Xia turned to look at the handsome Lin Fengtian, her eyes sparkled with a twinkling light: "Fufufu, Lin Fengtian I see you have become even more handsome."
Lin Fengtiam clearly knew that this would happen sooner or later, after he integrated the bloodline of the Heavenly Black Phoenix. He looked at Qing Tan who was standing beside him, Qing Tan also looked at him with her pretty eyes blinking slightly. Lin Fengtian decided to use this to his advantage, looking at Qin Tan, he said: "Lin Xiao-jie you should stop, as I already have an owner, and I don't think she would like to share."
"What nonsense are you talking!" Hearing what Lin Fengtian said, not only Qing Tan's beautiful face, but Lin Xia's also turned red as they looked away, not daring to look again at Lin Fengtian.
Lin Dong and Lin Changqiang looked at each other with pity. They unexpectedly became tertiary characters...
Lin Hong was already furious with the events just now, so when he saw the Lin Xia, Qing Tan and Lin Fengtian ignoring him as if he didn't exist while flirting with each other, it caused his anger to grow to levels never before reached by anyone. Promptly using a cold, furious tone that could only be heard, he muttered lightly: "Wait, I'll still get my revenge."
Lin Fengtian looked at the already leaving Lin Hong, he slowly clenched his fists as an icy look surfaced in his eyes as he thought he would definitely stop this foolish bastard from marrying his cute Qing Tan. Want to marry my Qing Tan, keep dreaming!
