Chapter 227: Encountering a Farce

Translator: Flying Lines

The ardent praise of Chu Feng was quite too much for Lin Xun. Lin said with a bitter smile, “Bro, I come here to thank for your great help that night.”

Chu Feng laughed, “Don’t mention it. It’s no big deal.”

But Lin said seriously, “It may be a small little thing for you, but for me, it’s just what I badly needed then.”

In the night three days ago, Chu Feng provided not only detailed information but also supplies of elixirs, weapons, equipment and a dozen places to hide for rest.

Lin knew that without the help, he couldn’t have been able to stick it out alone.

It was just a big favour!

Hearing his words, Chu Feng couldn’t help but give Lin a stare, “What bro, how comes that you still keep a distance from me?”

In fact, Chu Feng felt very delighted. It had already made him very gratified that Lin could appreciate his help.

What was more, the event that night made Chu Feng fully acquainted himself with the marvellousness of Lin’s cultivation foundation in terms of the fact that he crushed the attack from more than ten powerful clans and even made those clans dare not to talk anything about it in the end!

It had satisfied Chu Feng greatly that he could maintain a close friendship with Lin Xun nowadays.

Then the two chatted for a while, and later Lin got up and left.

He had already promised Chu Feng that after he fully recovered, he would come to the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists as before and began to undertake tasks, both to earn money and to help Chu Feng.

After all, the reputation of “Master Xun” had peaked at present in the Mist City. With Lin Xun in presence, Commune of Spiritual Tattooists would definitely gain a lot of benefits.

Also, Lin Xun intended to tailor a saber for himself, so he handed Chu Feng a list of spiritual materials, which he asked Chu to help collect for him. Chu Feng naturally agreed without hesitation.

The battle three nights ago made Lin realize that although the standard sabers on the market did own strong power, they did not suit him. He needed a saber which enabled him to unleash his combat power at his own will.

Each real fighting ace would definitely ask a spiritual tattooist to tailor weapons for him or her. Lin hadn’t got the time to do so before because he was too busy.

There was now still quite a lot of time before the Province Test began, which allowed Lin to well refine a decent weapon for himself.

It hadn’t reached noon when Lin left the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists. He did not hurry to go home; instead, he strolled along the street.

The Mist City was prosperous, with rare stuff everywhere which Lin had never seen before.

For example, you could rent different kinds of spiritual carriages driven by spiritual beasts in the post houses set up by the tamers. Some pets were also on sale there.

Besides, various kinds of beautiful spiritual flowers and plants were sold in the flower houses set up by spiritual planters and grew popular among girls.

Also, there were a number of places such as fruit and vegetable shops, restaurants with culinary practitioners, fighting arenas for gladiators, markets for slave trade and streets of antique shops. It was dazzling.

These could be barely seen in the border towns like Donglin Town.

As he strolled along the road, Lin sighed in his heart that this place was just a city of Ziyao Empire, and you could feel the prosperity of the empire more when being in more prosperous cities of the empire.

But these were, after all, superficial things. Still, cultivation was the foundation for practitioners!

Lin Xun had calculated that since he only reached the Human-gang Realm for a short time, it wasn’t likely for him to have a breakthrough in the short term.

However, Lin was not in a hurry. Not a thing to be rushed, cultivation required day-to-day perseverance. But leaving cultivation aside, there were many ways to improve fighting capacity.

For example, one of the most effective ways was to make improvements on the weapons and equipment.

In addition, the refining of martial arts could also enhance the fighting abilities. Nowadays, Lin’s mastery of the move “Reaching for the Stars” (RFS) had barely broken through the Initiation level and reached the Nuance level; and there was still a long way to go before reaching the Accuracy level, let alone the Mastery level.

If he could upgrade his mastery of the move “RFS” to the Accuracy level, he would definitely exert a kind of much more horrible power.

However, the use of the move “RFS” took an extremely huge amount of physical energy, so it could only be used for Sunday punch. Lin might as well put more of his minds on the cultivation of the Six-word Saberplay.

The Six-word Saberplay worked in a very secretive and vicious way, and even Drillmaster Young Ke and Shu Sanqi thought very highly of it.

Lin Xun had now made it to the Accuracy level, and was only one step away from Mastery. He intended to spend the following time in trying his best to reach the Mastery level of this saberplay.

In this way, he could at least make sure that he would successfully pass the Province Test without exposing the move “RFS”.

In addition, he had reaped unexpected fruits in the soul cultivation. After the battle three nights ago, Lin had now lightened three more soul stars in the sea of his consciousness, resulting in a total of 21 soul stars shining up high in the sea of his consciousness, reflecting his own soul, and making his perceptual power much stronger.

“It’s crucial to improve fighting abilities, but I have to make preparations for entering the third test on Green-cloud Path before the Province Test.”

Lin Xun contemplated silently. There was only less than three months left before the third test on Green-cloud Path opened.

The test was called “Hundred Battles”, and there would be only three opportunities to pass the test. Though not clear how difficult and dangerous the third test would be, Lin Xun treated it with no recklessness.

To earn the rewards for passing the third test, full preparations must be made. In his view, the third test must have relations to fighting for being called “Hundred Battles”!

All in all, it was decidedly the most significant to improve the fighting competence.

At this time, a sensation occurred suddenly in the distance, instantly waking Lin up from his deep thoughts. He looked up and saw that about hundreds metres away, a bulky man was dragging a woman and walking towards a carriage aside.

With her hair dishevelled and clothes torn, that woman kept screaming and yelling, “Help! Help! I don’t know him. I really don’t know him!”

But the strong man said to the people around him with full of indignation, “I’m sorry for making a fool of myself, everyone. She’s my wife, but she’s been fucking with other people behind my back recently. It’s been an effort for me to catch her on the spot today, but far from admitting her wrongdoing, she’s at odds with me now. It really annoys me, so I’m taking her home now.”

Hearing what the man had said, everyone in the vicinity showed disdainful expressions.

Some people even rebuked, “What a bitch for not complying with woman’s duty. Not yet admitting your fault after being caught fucking with other people, you should exactly be thrown into the pigsty!”

“Pah! Stop your yelling, shameless bitch! Even if you break your throat, we’ll not save you.”

“This bro, please take your wife away as soon as possible lest she keeps making such a show of herself.”

All people accused that woman.

The strong guy said gratefully, “Thank you, thank you for your understanding. I’m taking her away now.”

As he said, he grabbed the woman by the hair and directly dragged her towards the carriage next to him.

The woman was now full of despair, horror and helplessness. No matter how hard she struggled, it didn’t help the matter. She could only make hopeless shrieks out of her mouth, “Help, help, I really don’t know him…!”

Right when she was about to be dragged onto the carriage, someone exclaimed, “Wait!”

The onlookers all froze, seemingly not expecting that someone should stand up for the unfaithful bitch.

They looked up and saw a handsome lad who had appeared from nowhere and stood in the way of that strong guy. The lad was naturally Lin Xun.

The brawny many squinted his eyes and then shouted, “Little brother, this is my own family affair. Why do you an outsider intervene? Get out of my way!”

“Yeah, you are too nosy, young man. Hurry to let this bro take the bitch home.”

Aside, someone joined in reproaching Lin.

Others also opened their mouths in succession, demanding Lin to get out of the way.

With a touch of complacent look flashing across his eyes, the brawny man raised his hand, trying to push Lin’s shoulder, “For the fucking sake of …”

Before finishing his words, he let out a scream which sounded like the pigs which would be slaughtered. His hand had been twisted by Lin, with the joints in dislocation, and he knelt down on the ground, with his body bowed in the shape of a cooked prawn because of pain.

“You, you … you fucking ask for death!?”

The brawny man yelled loudly in curses.

An uproar was caused in the crowd next to them. They hadn’t expected the seemingly harmless lad should have started attacking directly without saying any more words.

“Little brother, now it’s your fault. You’re gonna intervene in other people’s family affairs?”

“Right, it’s already too much. This is the Mist City. Are you so bold to hurt people with so many eyes watching?”

“Humph, I think this kid has had a crush on his wife. Look at her white and tender skin. The woman’s truly got some attractive features. The lad is like a little more than ten years old, right at his age. He must have been enchanted by the woman’s beauty.

There was a heated discussion among the people around. With pedestrians weaving all around on the bustling streets, they didn’t worry that Lin would attack them.

Hearing the cracks of broken bones, Lin Xun remained silent, and then he dislocated the joints of the brawny man’s limbs in succession, reducing him to kneeling on the ground, with painful face twisted, sweat emerging on his forehead and screams coming out of his mouth.

As a result, it instantly attracted more people onlooking and … more accusations!

At this time, a sudden sound of suspicion came from the third floor of a restaurant on one side of the street, “How … how comes that it’s Lin this guy!”

It was a handsome lad who was speaking. And it was exactly Qi Yunxiao, the young master of the Azure-light Pavilion.

He was originally drinking alone, and was attracted by the sudden noises on the street like Lin. Now he caught the sight of the familiar figure of Lin by a casual glance and was instantly shocked, and his face darkened.

He remembered what had happened three nights ago, and also remembered the loud slap across his face given by his father.

“This guy’s getting more and more arrogant now and should intervene in other people’s family affairs in broad daylight. He must not know what he can do and what he cannot! Let’s go and see what a fool he will make of himself this time!”

Qi Yunxiao stood up and said, gnashing his teeth.

The servant next to him reminded, “Young master, the patriarch has already ordered seriously that we should not mess with Lin Xun this guy…”

Qi Yunxiao interrupted impatiently, “Who is going to mess with him? We’re going to watching the fun. Watching the fun, understand?”

As he spoke, he had already turned around and walked downstairs of the restaurant.
