Chapter 769 Lin Xiao, crippled by a single slap, the darkest moment for protagonist Lin Dong.

Fu Ye looked at Lin Langtian in front of him, a playful look in his eyes.

"At its peak, it was merely a remnant soul at the peak of the Life Profound Realm. Now that you have seen me, why don't you show yourself and kneel in respect?"

Fu Ye's voice was cold and devoid of warmth, and Mu Shi, who was desperately trying to conceal his presence, felt a chill rise in his heart upon hearing his words.

"My lord has come from afar. Please forgive my rudeness and punish me."

The remnant soul of the old man hidden within Lin Langtian's body appeared directly and knelt before Fu Ye and Feng Qing'er.

"I don't care what you want to do, but I hope you'll behave yourself for the next couple of days. After all, we don't want our trip here to be ruined, understand?"

At this moment, Mu Shi was sweating profusely and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

"I understand, I understand. Thank you for your mercy, sir!"

Seeing Master Mu kowtowing repeatedly, Fu Ye casually waved his hand and sent him flying back into Lin Langtian's body.

When Lin Langtian saw that the usually arrogant and haughty Master Mu was actually afraid of the young man in front of him, he knew very well that the person in front of him was someone that their Great Yan Dynasty absolutely could not afford to offend.

"This junior, Lin Langtian, of the Lin clan, greets the senior."

Without the slightest hesitation, even the proud Lin Langtian knelt down to pay his respects to Fu Ye.

"A sixteen-year-old at the Heavenly Origin Realm, his soul power is decent, and his talent is good, but only good."

Fu Ye gave a brief, indifferent comment, and then lost interest in Lin Langtian.

It should be noted that Lin Langtian is eight years older than Lin Dong and possesses most of the cultivation resources of the Lin Clan's main branch. It is surprising that he would be unable to defeat Lin Dong, who has been recklessly charging ahead all the way.
This is normal, after all, if Lin Langtian were even a little more talented, Lin Dong probably wouldn't have become the protagonist of Martial Universe.

"Thank you for your evaluation, sir. Lin Langtian is extremely grateful!"

As a genius member of the Lin clan, Lin Langtian naturally knew many things that ordinary people did not.

The other party said that the Mu Master inside him was at the peak of the Life Profound Realm, so the other party's strength was at least at the Death Profound Realm, or even stronger at the Reincarnation Realm!
You should know that the strongest person in their Great Yan Dynasty is only at the Nirvana Realm. If he can build a good relationship with such a powerful expert, his future will definitely be bright!
"There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Pride, arrogance, and conceit will turn you into a beast."

"Little guy, I've been there myself. Sometimes you can learn to tone down your so-called pride. It might help you go further on your cultivation path in the future."

Fu Ye was speaking the truth. In the original novel, Lin Langtian was extremely arrogant, and he was repeatedly beaten into submission by the protagonist Lin Dong. This led to the protagonist Lin Dong becoming Lin Langtian's inner demon in the later stages of the story.

His body was successively possessed by Master Mu and the evil race from beyond the realm.

Although Lin Langtian didn't understand why the powerful figure in front of him told him to put away his pride, as the number one genius of the Great Yan Dynasty, he had the right to be proud.

However, he still humbly bowed to Fu Ye.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will remember it."

Upon seeing this, Fu Ye's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

“Remember? Can you really remember? Arrogance is easily broken, and even strong winds and raging waves can destroy it. In my opinion, you little guy have the ambition but not the destiny. If you don’t restrain yourself, you will suffer the consequences in the future.”

With that, Fu Ye stood up.

"Qing'er, Qingtan, let's go back and rest. There might be a good show to watch tomorrow."

As Fu Ye left with Feng Qing'er and the others, Lin Langtian remained standing there, pondering what Fu Ye had just said.

"Is it possible to have pride but not to defy fate? But I, Lin Langtian, have never believed in fate."

Lin Langtian's original status in the Lin clan was merely that of an ordinary disciple.

He began cultivating at the age of ten, and only at the age of twelve did he begin to show his talent, breaking through the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm and stepping into the Earth Origin Realm, becoming a well-known genius in the clan.

The moment he truly established himself in the clan was last year when he successfully broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm at the age of fifteen. Lin Langtian was able to climb from the bottom of the clan to this height because of the pride in his heart, the arrogance that refused to accept any doubt from anyone.

But now this powerful figure is telling him to curb his arrogance, something he simply cannot accept.

The weak should be trampled underfoot, and the strong should receive supreme glory. This has been his only principle since he began cultivating.

At this moment, Master Mu, who was hidden inside Lin Langtian's body, began to feel a little nervous when he saw Lin Langtian deep in thought.

You should know that he helped Lin Langtian in order to possess his perfect body.

Lin Langtian is arrogant, so he will guide his arrogance, and eventually there will be an opportunity to completely take over his body.

But now, Master Mu's heart is filled with unease, fearing that Lin Langtian will slip out of his control.

After a long while, Lin Langtian finally calmed down.

At that moment, a subtle glint appeared in his eyes.

His beliefs remained unchanged, but Fu Ye's words made him more aware.

Master Mu is definitely a threat. I absolutely cannot let him take control of the situation. Only Lin Langtian can be in control of himself!

Late at night, Xiao Qingtan nestled in Feng Qing'er's arms, her adorable big eyes filled with curiosity.

"Sister Qing'er, why do I always feel like that old man in spirit form tonight isn't a good person?"

"Qingtan's intuition is correct. That old man with a remnant soul is filled with demonic energy. He must have been a wicked cultivator who did all sorts of evil things in his previous life."

"Huh? Then why don't we just eliminate him?"

"Qingtan, be good. Lord Fu Ye must have his own reasons for this. We just need to stay quietly by his side."

"Mmm! Qingtan will be good!"

The following day, the Lin clan competition officially began.

Fu Ye and Feng Qing'er were placed in the best view spot.

"The Great Yan Dynasty, the Lin Family Martial Arts Tournament now begins—!!"

"The first match is between Lin Langtian from the inner clan and Lin Xiao from the outer clan of Qingyang Town!"

On the field, Lin Dong's father, Lin Xiao, was still bowing to the audience. It was clear that he never expected that with his Tianyuan Realm strength, he would be crippled in the first match.

"The duel begins!!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Lin Xiao and Lin Langtian made their moves almost simultaneously.

However, as the two figures flashed, Lin Langtian landed first.

But he waved his hand dismissively, completely ignoring Lin Xiao, who was frozen in place.

"Puff puff!!"

The next second, blood spurted from Lin Xiao's mouth and body, and his motionless body collapsed to the ground.

Eight-year-old Lin Dong's eyes were filled with fear when he saw his father, Lin Xiao, lying on the ground severely injured.

"Daddy!!!" (End of Chapter)
