#27 - Fire python tiger, I want them all

If giving birth to the Yuan Power seed is like opening the door to martial arts,

Then reaching the Earth Yuan Realm signifies truly stepping into the hall of martial arts.

In Qingyang Town, those in the Earth Yuan Realm are already considered the backbone of any force.

Very few people can advance to the Earth Yuan Realm before the age of twenty.

Lin Yun and Lin Dong are only sixteen or seventeen years old.

That's not even the most important thing. As far as she knows, Lin Dong only started cultivating this year, and it's only been a year at most. Although Lin Yun started cultivating earlier, his family background means he has no resources to speak of.

Compared to Lei Li, their conditions are not even on the same level, not even comparable to hers.

Yet, under these circumstances, both of them were able to break through to the Earth Yuan Realm.

This really shocked Lin Xia, making it hard to believe. Even though she had a deep understanding of their talents, she couldn't accept it for a while.

That's the Earth Yuan Realm! For her, it would take at least another year.

Looking at Lin Xia's expression of doubting life, Lin Yun couldn't offer any comfort… The world of the cheat is something mortals can't understand.

Lin Yun and Lin Dong exchanged glances, smiling knowingly.

They both knew each other had secrets, but they didn't pry. They just quietly developed, secretly competing, wanting to amaze each other.

As more and more teams arrived, the Beast Horn Field gradually became crowded with people, and the atmosphere became lively.

Before long, there was an uproar in the crowd as the teams from the Lei and Xie families arrived.

These two local families in Qingyang Town have dominated here for many years and have a great influence, so everyone's eyes turned to them.

Due to the rise of the Mad Blade Martial Hall and the Lin family in recent years, the Lei and Xie families have had to form an alliance. Coupled with their marriage relationship, the two families are now very close.

At this time, they entered together.

The heads of the Lei and Xie families walked side by side at the front of the team.

Lin Xia was next to Lin Yun and Lin Dong, introducing them to the important figures of the Lei and Xie families.

"The one walking on the left is the head of the Lei family, named Lei Bao."

Lin Yun looked over and saw an old man wearing a light gray silk robe, about the same age as Lin Zhentian, with deep-set eyes that made him look quite stern.

"The middle-aged man next to Lei Bao is the head of the Xie family, Xie Qian."

Xie Qian always seemed to have a smile on his face, looking very kind.

"Don't look at that old guy as amiable and kind. In fact, he's very insidious and cunning. He has a nickname, 'Smiling Tiger.'"

Lin Xia whispered in complaint.

How could someone who becomes the head of a family be simple… Lin Yun secretly sized up the two men, feeling a powerful aura from them, the pressure of a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert.

Neither of them deliberately restrained their aura, obviously to show their strength.

Behind the two family heads, Lin Yun saw two familiar figures, Lei Li and Xie Yingying.

At this time, the two families had already walked in front of the Lin family.

Lei Bao said, "Hehe, Lin Zhentian, long time no see. It seems that your old bones are still so tough."

"Old man Lei, don't worry, my old bones will enter the coffin later than you," Lin Zhentian replied with a smile.

The two exchanged greetings, both smiling brightly, as if they were close friends.

However, their words were barbed with hidden meaning.

"With so many things to worry about, it's not easy to live long," Lei Bao said with a faint smile.

His gaze swept over the Lin family, first pausing on Lin Xiao, seemingly feeling the majestic Yuan Power fluctuations emanating from the latter's body, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

Obviously, he also knew that Lin Xiao's strength had recovered.

He was quite wary of the Lin family having another 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 about it.

Lei Li's evaluation was, "He has some martial arts talent, but he's not worth worrying about."

"This is the recently famous genius of the Lin family?" Lei Bao's deep-set eyes looked at Lin Yun like a poisonous snake, and a powerful aura pressed down on him.

Although Lei Li said he was confident in defeating Lin Yun, Lei Bao didn't completely believe it. It was so difficult for a Body Tempering Ninth Layer to fight a Body Tempering Eighth Layer, so this Lin Yun was clearly not simple.

"Hmm? This old dog…" Lin Yun felt the pressure from Lei Bao, frowned slightly, but didn't feel much.

Although the other party was a realm higher than him, this bit of pressure was like a small appetizer for Lin Yun, who routinely carried a three-hundred-pound load and had a mental attribute of 17 points.

However, Lin Yun still tried his best to perform the act he was supposed to.

In order to cooperate with the other party and achieve the effect they wanted, he appropriately showed great pressure and a look of panic.

This son is indeed not worth worrying about… Lei Bao's brows instantly relaxed, feeling that this Lin Yun was far inferior compared to his own Lei Li.

"Hmph!" Lei Li, behind Lei Bao, snorted proudly. After breaking through to the Earth Yuan Realm, he could also face his grandfather's pressure with equanimity.

Lin Zhentian quickly noticed, frowned, and subtly stood in front of Lin Yun, saying calmly, "Old man Lei, you flatter him. Lin Yun is just a little famous, not comparable to your Lei family's Lei Li."

"Hehe, whether he can compare or not, we'll naturally know when the hunt begins. Your Lin family just needs to prepare the stakes for this time," Lei Bao laughed and walked past the Lin family.

When Lei Li passed in front of Lin Yun, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the latter and the Lin family juniors beside him, such as Lin Dong, Qing Tan, Lin Xia, and Lin Hong, and suddenly whispered with a smile, "Lin Yun, there are many demon beasts in the hunt. You have to be careful, lest you can't even get on the central giant platform. I'll be waiting for you there."

After breaking through to the Local Origin Realm, Lei Li felt like he was back on top, forgetting the embarrassing situation Lin Yun had previously put him in.

The Lin family juniors looked displeased, glaring at Lei Li resentfully.

"You should focus on getting onto the giant platform first," Lin Yun said calmly, not at all affected by Lei Li's words.

He no longer considered Lei Li a threat; his imagined enemy had become Lei Li's grandfather, Lei Bao.

Right now, Lin Yun was thinking about how to use the hunting event to get rid of Lei Li first, messing with the minds of the Lei and Xie families.

As a member of the Lin family, he was destined to be at odds with the Lei and Xie families, and he would naturally not miss any opportunity to weaken their strength.

"Hmph!" Lei Li sneered and followed the Lei family's team.

"The Mad Blade Martial Hall is here," another wave of commotion arose.

A group of people wearing uniforms embroidered with the words 'Mad Blade' swaggered onto the Beast Horn Arena.

The master of the Mad Blade Martial Hall was Mad Thunder Blade Luo Cheng.

This was a ruthless man. It was said that when he first came to Qingyang Town, he fought Lei Bao, enduring three of Lei Bao's palm strikes and slashing Lei Bao's chest with a blade. His desperate fighting style directly terrified the Lei and Xie families.

From then on, he gained a firm foothold in Qingyang Town.

The Mad Blade Martial Hall's style of doing things was exactly like Luo Cheng's.

Arriving in front of the Lin family, Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian exchanged cordial greetings. Although the two sides had not formally formed an alliance, they tacitly maintained a friendly relationship under the pressure of the Lei and Xie families.

"So, are you confident in dealing with Lei Li and Xie Yingying, that dog couple?" Wu Yun came to Lin Yun's side and chuckled.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Lin Yun said mysteriously.

"That dog couple is not simple, you know. If you need my help, just say so," Wu Yun patted Lin Yun's shoulder, as if saying, 'Hurry up and invite me'.

"Not for now, thank you," Lin Yun said indifferently.

He had no intention of cooperating with Wu Yun.

Because he already had other plans.

"You, I want to see how you deal with it when the time comes."

Wu Yun, getting no response, walked away cursing. He was the chief disciple of the dignified Mad Blade Martial Hall, and he didn't need to beg anyone!

At worst, he would wait for Lin Yun to be defeated by Lei Li, and then he would fight Lei Li head-on.

"Lin Yun, why did you reject Wu Yun? Although that guy is frivolous, his strength is good. With him, you'd be more confident in dealing with Lei Li," Lin Xia asked, puzzled.

Lin Dong and the others also looked at Lin Yun with some confusion.

"I have my own plans," Lin Yun smiled mysteriously, without explaining further.

In the original story, Lin Dong cooperated with Wu Yun and indeed tricked Lei Li and Xie Yingying.

However, this hunting event would feature three Fire Python Tiger cubs, and Lin Yun didn't plan to share the Fire Python Tigers with others.

He wanted to take all three tigers, or perhaps four!

At this moment, the opening ceremony of the hunting event began. Lei Bao got up to speak, saying a lot and generally introducing the rules.

Then, identity tokens were distributed, and the participants in the hunt went up to the Beast Horn Arena.

As Lei Bao announced the start of the event.

Everyone jumped off the platform and entered the jungle.

"I'll take a step ahead!" Lin Yun said to Lin Xia and the others. Without waiting for their reaction, he jumped straight into the jungle.

As the jungle obscured Lin Yun's figure, he immediately used the Flowing Wind Movement Technique, turning into a streak of light and shadow, surpassing everyone.

Now, Lin Yun's Flowing Wind Movement Technique was approaching perfection. His speed was so fast that, let alone these juniors, even among those in the Local Origin Realm, few could compare with him.

Lin Yun sped ahead, and soon no one could see his figure.

During the process of running towards the depths of the jungle, Lin Yun carefully explored the surrounding situation. His current mental fluctuations could already cover a radius of five hundred meters.

There were many demonic beasts in the jungle, but Lin Yun skipped them one by one, not going to provoke them.

His goal was clear: the Fire Python Tiger.

After a while, Lin Yun came to a vast rocky area. Through mental induction, he discovered four demonic beast auras in the cave below the rock.

One was strong and three were weak. The three weak auras seemed to be there and not there. If Lin Yun's mental attributes were not higher than ordinary people, he might not have been able to sense them.

Without a doubt, this must be the Fire Python Tiger family of four.

The adult Fire Python Tiger possessed strength comparable to a Heavenly Origin Realm expert.

Lin Yun knew the plot. At this time, the Fire Python Tiger mother was seriously injured and could not exert the strength of the Heavenly Origin Realm at all.

He cautiously approached the rock cave.

"Roar!"

Just as he approached the entrance of the cave, a tiger's roar came from inside.

A fiery shadow rushed out. It was a demonic beast that was a full ten feet tall. The demonic beast was covered in fiery fur, and its head was a very violent and ferocious tiger head. Its tail was coiled on its back, its snake tongue flicking, like a fire python.

This appearance was undoubtedly the Fire Python Tiger.

However, at this moment, this Fire Python Tiger, which should have been majestic, appeared exceptionally weak. Streams of blood continuously poured out of its body, staining the underground soil where it was located blood red, obviously severely injured.

In addition, having just given birth to cubs, it was extremely weak. If it was not treated, it probably wouldn't last long.

It was only holding on now, protecting its cubs.

Lin Yun began to create a task.

[Task: Rescue and adopt the Fire Python Tiger family. Reward: A bottle of Fifth-Grade Rejuvenation Pills, a Spirit-Rank Mental Skill 《Beast Control》.]
