A few days ago, Han Lin accidentally injured the fat guy Iron Bull from the Yunlan Sect.
Now, news came from the outer disciples that Xie Nan wanted to spar with Han Lin in the plaza of the Zixiao Sect.
The news quickly reached the sect leader, Li Qinghe, who sent his son, Li Chao, along with Elder Shen and others to investigate the situation.
Han Lin hadn't rested much last night. He had acquired a tattered ancient scroll from the Lingyun Market. Weathered by time, the scroll had recently been reacting with his Divine Thunder Spear from time to time. He placed the two together, and a brilliant radiance filled the secret chamber as the characters on the scroll slowly unfolded with the circulation of spiritual qi.
He eagerly absorbed the large characters reflected on the wall, committing them to memory. Under the perception of his soul and divine sense, he gradually comprehended their essence.
Cultivation techniques in the cultivation world were divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. Each tier was further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. The most powerful cultivation techniques were of the Heaven tier, while the lowest were of the Yellow tier.
After pondering over the tattered scroll in his hands... it wasn't a lower-grade Earth tier technique, but rather...
Without hesitation, he blurted out, "This is a middle-grade Heaven tier cultivation technique," Han Lin said cautiously.
From this, it was clear that the Divine Thunder Spear was no ordinary item either. No one knew the origin of the Divine Thunder Spear except his father. However, after practicing its initial realm, Han Lin could guess that the Divine Thunder Spear was also a magical tool of around the middle-grade Heaven tier. Because the Divine Thunder Spear paired with the scroll could trigger divine thunder to form a divine thunder array—capable of attacking cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage—its true power upon reaching perfection was hard to fathom.
Having cultivated the Divine Thunder Spear to the second realm, Han Lin took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and realized his gains were substantial. Since this scroll also possessed the thunder attribute, he decided to call it the "Celestial Book of the Thunder Lord."
Upon hearing the news, Cousin Ye Hong was very worried about Han Lin. She searched his residence over and over again, but could not find him.
Knowing he must be hiding at the peak to cultivate, she quickly made her way to the secret chamber. She knocked on a few doors, but the inner disciples who answered were not him. Finally, she knocked on the last room against the wall, and sure enough, he was here.
"Who is it? Don't disturb my rest," Han Lin shouted loudly.
Sensing it was a female voice, he opened the door, only to find that his cousin had arrived!
"Don't call me cousin here, this is the sect," Ye Hong said.
Realizing his mistake, Han Lin quickly corrected himself: "Sorry, Senior Sister, how have you been lately? I've been busy cultivating and forgot to check on you! Hehe!"
Ye Hong comforted him: "It's good that you're fine, kid. A big thing has happened, Junior Brother."
Han Lin asked in surprise: "Senior Sister, what big thing?"
"Do you remember beating up that fat guy at the market last time?" Senior Sister asked.
"Oh, that fat guy from the Yunlan Sect. I already taught them a lesson last time. How dare they come back? What does it matter if he brought a helper this time? Why would I be afraid of him?" Han Lin bragged.
"Let's go down the mountain and meet them," Senior Sister urged. "The Yunlan Sect leader's son is not to be trifled with, so make sure you don't provoke him."
"What is there to be afraid of? I can't act like a coward. If word gets out in the future that I was scared of them, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?" Han Lin roared at the top of his lungs.
Just like that, Senior Sister was convinced by my words and had nothing more to say. She actually knew my temperament; I wouldn't back down. My motto was: "I don't look for trouble, but I don't run from it either. If someone puts a blade to my neck, tell me, should I fight back or not? Besides, could I just surrender without a fight?"
Just as I stepped out of the main hall, I saw Elder Shen, senior brother Li Chao, and their group. Elder Shen called out to me, saying, "The young master of the Yunlan Sect is outside. You must be very careful when you go out!"
"Don't worry, Elder Shen, thank you for your concern!" Han Lin lowered his head and said.
Afterward, they arrived at the center of the plaza. Upon hearing about the matter, both inner and outer disciples came to watch the commotion, wanting to see what the young master of the Yunlan Sect wanted to do today. If he dared to cause trouble, with so many people here, why would anyone fear him?
A handsome face appeared in the center of the plaza—that person was Han Lin.
