#3 - Poor little Qingtan
Deep within the back mountains of the Lin family!
Lin Yun traversed the dense forest, searching for a suitable demon beast to target.
Too strong, he couldn't handle; too weak, there was no challenge; too fast, he couldn't catch up.
After some mountain climbing, he finally found a big guy.
In the forest, a black giant bear was running towards Lin Yun, it had a thick body, its back was smooth and hairless, as hard as iron.
Lin Yun recognized it, this was the Ironback Azure Bear, after adulthood it had the strength of the fifth level of Body Tempering, it was very resistant and could fight, ordinary knives, guns, bows and swords were difficult to break its defense.
Before making a move, Lin Yun first tried to create a task.
【Task: Kill the Ironback Azure Bear. Reward: Low-grade Universe Sack, Physique + 1.】
"The reward is not bad."
Before Lin Yun could be happy.
"Roar!"
The Ironback Azure Bear had already discovered him, and it was not polite to this human who broke into its territory, after a roar, it killed towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun quickly mobilized the Yuan Power in his body and circulated the power to his fists.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
......
Lin Yun displayed the Penetrating Back Fist, head-on against the Ironback Azure Bear, continuously throwing ten punches, the five-hundred-pound Ironback Azure Bear was knocked flying.
The gap between the fifth and sixth levels of Body Tempering was huge, with Yuan Power, it was a dimensionality reduction strike.
The Ironback Azure Bear could not be Lin Yun's opponent.
However, this guy was resistant to beatings, after taking a complete set of Lin Yun's Penetrating Back Fists, he was still not dead, he got up and prepared to escape.
How could Lin Yun give him a chance, he chased after him to make up for the punch.
The Falling Rock Fist was powerful and heavy, shaking the internal organs of the Ironback Azure Bear.
【Task: Kill the Ironback Azure Bear. Reward: Low-grade Universe Sack, Physique + 1. Completed, do you want to receive it?】
"Receive!"
【Physique 8 (Mediocre) — Physique 9 (Mediocre)】
A flash of white light, a palm-sized cyan cloth bag appeared in Lin Yun's hand, the bag flickered with a faint silver-cyan luster, imprinted with special runes, the touch was wonderful.
The space inside was quite spacious, as big as a room.
Lin Yun put the Ironback Azure Bear into the Universe Sack and continued hunting.
After searching in the forest for a while, Lin Yun hunted two more wild boars, but unfortunately they were not as powerful as the Ironback Azure Bear, establishing a kill task, only to get two Qi and Blood Pills as a reward, and did not get an attribute reward.
It was getting late, Lin Yun was ready to go home.
Fortunately, there was a Universe Sack, he could put the demon beast corpses in it, saving a lot of effort, but in order to cover up, he still carried a wild boar on his back.
On the way back, Lin Yun reflected on today's battle.
"My boxing is strong enough, the attack power is enough, but the speed is too slow, I can't catch up with a slightly agile demon beast, it seems that I need to learn a body technique martial art to enhance the speed after I go back."
......
Near the Lin family, you can see scattered figures in the forest.
Most of these are people from the Lin family, searching for herbs in the forest.
This back mountain of the Lin family is connected to a vast forest, in addition to dangerous beasts and demon beasts, there are also opportunities, that is, spiritual herbs.
The value of spiritual herbs is very high, if you find an entry-level spiritual herb, you can not only use it for cultivation, but also sell it for a lot of money.
The nearby forests have been cleaned up by the Lin family's hunting team, and there are generally no demon beasts, therefore, many clansmen like to come here to try their luck, which makes it relatively lively.
Lin Yun had also been here before, but he was out of luck and had never encountered a spiritual herb, even this time he went deep into the forest to hunt, and even hunted demon beasts at the fifth level of Body Tempering, he had not encountered even a first-grade spiritual herb.
"Eh, what a beautiful girl!" Lin Yun suddenly saw a figure like a butterfly, flashing amazingly in the forest ahead of him.
"It seems to be Qingtan, that little loli!"
Lin Yun knew Qingtan, but he wasn't familiar with her before, he had only seen her in the clan.
Qingtan is Lin Dong's younger sister, adopted, she is the daughter adopted by Lin Dong's mother, she does not belong to the Lin family's bloodline.
In the original book, Qingtan loves Lin Dong in her heart, but unfortunately Lin Dong doesn't know whether he really doesn't know or pretends not to know, he actually treats Qingtan as his own sister, it's simply not knowing how to appreciate favors! Not knowing what's good for you! Wasteful! Shameful!
How can such a cute little loli be allowed to grow old alone.
Lin Yun slightly accelerated his speed, and soon saw the other party, it was indeed Qingtan, thirteen or fourteen years old, very tender.
She was wearing a simple light-colored dress, her skin was like snow, her face was delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her eyes were smart, her big black eyes flickered and flickered, like a little girl picking mushrooms, searching around in the forest, looking extremely cute.
Lin Yun slowly followed behind her, not in a hurry to go home.
This little girl is still very dangerous in the forest alone, although it is close to the Lin family, and generally no demon beasts come over, but what if.
"Wow, this is Chiyang grass!"
Suddenly, Qingtan seemed to have found some treasure, and exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Yun looked over, only to see the little loli's white and tender little hands stained with a lot of soil, at this moment she was holding a fiery red plant.
"First-grade spiritual herb, Chiyang grass." Lin Yun recognized the spiritual herb and sighed slightly, "As expected of the protagonist's sister, this luck."
However, it was only a first-grade spiritual herb, which was not tempting to Lin Yun, who was already at the sixth level of Body Tempering.
Qingtan, who had gained something, immediately prepared to go home, she wanted to quickly give the spiritual herb to her Lin Dong brother.
Recently, Lin Dong has been diligently practicing martial arts, Qingtan has seen it in her eyes, and has always wanted to help her brother, so she has frequently run to the back mountain to find spiritual herbs during this time.
The happy little loli, holding the Chiyang grass, hopped and skipped back home.
Lin Yun followed behind her, without being discovered.
Before long, they arrived at the intersection of the road home. A round, chubby little boy came out, smiling and following Qingtan, communicating with her with a flattering expression.
Lin Yun recognized him as Lin Changqiang, Qingtan's little follower who liked her.
Qingtan was exquisitely beautiful, lively and adorable. Not only in the Lin family, but throughout Qingyang Town, many people liked her.
If it weren't because she was still young, it was estimated that those proposing marriage would have already trampled over the threshold of the Lin family's home.
As the two walked, a group of people suddenly appeared ahead, blocking their path.
Lin Yun recognized the group. The leader was called Lin Shan, the second son of Lin Mang from the Lin family's second branch. This guy didn't get along with Lin Dong and often bullied him. Now that he encountered Qingtan, he was probably preparing to bully her.
Qingtan and Lin Changqiang's expressions immediately turned ugly. Seeing the situation was bad, Lin Changqiang ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.
Leaving Qingtan, a little girl, to face Lin Shan and his group.
Lin Shan and the others' target wasn't Lin Changqiang, so they didn't chase after him, but instead surrounded Qingtan.
Several strong teenagers blocked the intersection, trapping Qingtan in the middle.

"Oh, isn't this Chiyang Grass? Qingtan, you helped me collect it."
Lin Shan stared lewdly at the Chiyang Grass in Qingtan's hand.
"What do you mean 'helped you collect it'? Get lost, this is mine."
Qingtan scolded, protecting the Chiyang Grass in her arms, not caring that the mud on the grass would dirty her clothes.
"I guess you want to take the Chiyang Grass to that Lin Dong guy. That waste, it's a waste even if he uses it. Give it to me."
Lin Shan said with a wicked smile.
"Lin Shan, don't go too far."
Qingtan said angrily.
Lin Shan wasn't in a hurry either. He crossed his arms, looked at the angry Qingtan without restraint, and chuckled.
"We already discovered this Chiyang Grass yesterday, we were just waiting to come and take it today. You took our things, and you're saying I'm going too far?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Qingtan said angrily, her little face flushed red.
Lin Shan didn't show any tenderness or pity. Seeing Qingtan's angry, fierce appearance, he was even happier. "I'm telling the truth, Qingtan. Give me the Chiyang Grass, and I'll let you go."
"Don't even think about it!"
Qingtan bit her silver teeth and tightly hugged the Chiyang Grass.
"Since that's the case, then it looks like you'll have to camp out here tonight."
Lin Shan chuckled, glanced at Qingtan, and said, "That Lin Changqiang kid seemed to have run away, probably to find Lin Dong, right? Good, I haven't had enough of beating him last time."
"You... bastard."
Qingtan suddenly became a little anxious.
Lin Shan took a step forward and threatened in a low voice, "You don't want your Lin Dong brother to be beaten, do you?"
Thinking of Lin Dong being beaten unconscious by Lin Shan before, Qingtan felt a burst of fear, and said with a crying voice,
"Don't!"
At this moment, Qingtan was weak and helpless, pitiful, her big, shiny eyes twinkling with tears, desperately trying not to let them fall.
Her appearance was heartbreaking.
Some people around also saw this scene, but unfortunately, no one stood up for Qingtan. Lin Shan's father now controlled the Lin family's finances, and no one dared to offend him, which led to Lin Shan becoming a notorious little tyrant among the younger generation.
Lin Yun couldn't stand it anymore.
How could he bear to see such a cute little loli being bullied?
In the past, he might not have dared to offend Lin Shan, but now that he had a cheat, what was he afraid of?
"System, create a mission."
[Mission: Teach Lin Shan a lesson and help Qingtan out of the predicament. Reward: A pair of Golden Silkworm Boxing Gloves.]
"Give me the Chiyang Grass, and I won't beat him, how about that?"
"Will you give it or not? If you don't give it, I'm afraid Lin Dong will come and get beaten up."
Just as Lin Yun walked over, Lin Shan was still threatening Qingtan in a mean way.
Qingtan was already on the verge of collapse.
She was unwilling to give the spiritual medicine to Lin Shan, but she didn't want to see Lin Dong being bullied.
At this moment, she hoped that someone could come and help her, stand up for her, and teach Lin Shan a hard lesson.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a black shadow flew over, and a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds slammed into Lin Shan.
It directly sent Lin Shan flying out, and the heavy pig body pressed down on him.
The few people surrounding Qingtan were immediately shocked and turned their heads to look in the direction the wild boar had flown from.
Qingtan also stopped her tearful appearance, her bright big eyes looked at Lin Yun who was walking over, she was slightly stunned, and then a look of hope appeared on her face.
Someone really came to help her.
"Lin Yun!"
Lin Shan's few lackeys were a little surprised, they didn't expect Lin Yun to dare to attack Lin Shan.
He was an orphan, and he no longer had any backing in the Lin family. How dare he offend Lin Shan, wasn't he afraid of being retaliated against?
Lin Shan also had his older brother Lin Hong and his father Lin Mang behind him, none of whom Lin Yun could afford to provoke.
However, they knew that Lin Yun had been practicing hard and had already reached the fifth level of Body Tempering, so they didn't dare to attack easily.
As long as they didn't reach the sixth level of Body Tempering and didn't have a Yuan Power seed, the difference in strength wouldn't be too great.
Moreover, Lin Shan was in a fit of anger and didn't care so much.
An orphan dared to hit him, how could he tolerate this?
"Go, beat him up."
Lin Shan directly ordered his lackeys.
So what if he was at the fifth level of Body Tempering? They were all at the third and fourth levels of Body Tempering. If they attacked together, with more people against fewer, they wouldn't be afraid of losing.
Moreover, Lin Shan was in a fit of anger and didn't care so much.
