Chereads / Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor / Chapter 15 - Facing Head-on

Chapter 15 - Facing Head-on

"Condense the True Element in the body into the Majestic Golden Sun. After reaching the Minor Advancement boundary, the hardness of the cover would be comparable to low-grade weapons, and mid-grade weapons in the Major Advancement realm. At the Pinnacle, it will be comparable to high-grade weapons…"

Looking at the introduction in the book, Lin Han looked a little ecstatic.

This Golden Sun Cover was indeed a high-grade martial art. The hardness of the cover at the Pinnacle could actually be comparable to that of a high-grade weapon.

After all, the longsword that Lin Han had won from Lin Jian was only a low-grade weapon, but it was already worth a thousand taels of gold.

"As expected, high-grade martial arts really have great power. I wonder how terrifying top-grade martial arts are, as well as those that surpass top-grade martial arts… Natural martial arts!"

Lin Han's eyes flashed slightly.

Natural martial arts were powerful martial arts that only martial Grandmasters could use. They had incomparable destructive power and might.

That was because natural martial arts was something that could only be cultivated and understood by powerful existences that surpassed the ninth tier.

However, it was a mystery whether there was a being who surpassed the ninth tier in the entire Yan Kingdom, much less in the small Broken Sky City.

Nevertheless, Lin Han was very clear that there must be someone who surpassed the ninth tier in the vast Lingwu Continent.

For example, in the ancient land he glimpsed at from the Golden Spirit Fire in his mind, there were countless ancient and terrifying creatures, and the strong gathered like clouds.

There were supreme Devils and Demons who roared at the skies and shook the nine heavenly stars. There were almighty humans who could shatter the universe into pieces with just a wave of a hand.

Those unfathomable realms were like gods who possessed great power. Ye Chen wondered how many times stronger they were compared to the ninth tier!

However, to Lin Han now, those were still legends.

So, he left behind the unrealistic thoughts in his mind and began to study the high-grade 'Majestic Golden Sun Cover' in his hands.

...

Lin Han spent the entire morning in the room.

"Boom."

Suddenly, at some point, Lin Han stood up and raised his hands. His body began to blossom with a miraculous golden light.

After the golden light flashed, it slowly condensed into a golden bell around Lin Han's body, like flowing water. It was heavy and old, and the body of the bell was marked with a giant sun, rising up with extraordinary momentum.

Dong!

Lin Han lifted the golden bell and flung it towards the house, causing the entire mud-and-stone building shook violently.

"Haha, sure enough, in just half a day, I've already reached the Minor Advancement boundary for the Majestic Golden Sun Cover. The golden cover formed initially can be comparable to a low-grade weapon."

A smile flashed past Lin Han's face.

If he had the Majestic Golden Sun Cover when hunting for the dragon-tiger beast, he would not have had to be so scared. 

The dragon-tiger beast would not be able to trample over him.

"Phew!"

With a long sigh of relief, Lin Han slowly stopped, and the golden bell dissipated.

At this time, Lin Han had strong confidence in the Outer Residence contest tomorrow.

Bang bang bang!

However, at this moment, a series of sharp knocks suddenly sounded.

"Hey! What are you…" Xiao Nu's slightly frightened voice sounded from outside the door.

"Xiao Nu!"

Lin Han's eyes flashed darkly.

Who was it?

Who dared to cause trouble at his residence?

Bang!

Lin Han walked straight towards the door and pushed open the wooden gate.

He immediately saw Xiao Nu surrounded by several young men who did not let her leave.

"You again?"

Lin Han instantly saw Lin Shi, the main division disciple who had been crippled by him twice before.

The noise here had attracted many Outer Residence disciples around them.

"That Lin Shi had been crippled by Lin Han twice already, but still dares to challenge him?"

"What do you know? Lin Shi is prepared this time. Can't you see the confidence on his face? It seems like he has a plan."

Speculation flashed in their expressions as they commented.

"What business do you have here?" Lin Han frowned and spoke slowly.

If it were not for the fact that this was the Lin Clan Sect Residence, he would have killed Lin Shi long ago.

'Brat, you're still putting on an act. I'll let you suffer a fate worse than death later!'

Lin Shi thought darkly in his heart but put on a 'warm' face as a front. "My Eldest Brother invites you to the combat arena for a duel."

When he spoke, the surrounding crowd suddenly turned quiet before the conversations began to boil again.

"Lin Shi's Eldest Brother, Lin Lang? He wants to duel with this subdivision disciple Lin Han?"

"Lin Lang is the seventh strongest disciple in our Outer Residence. If Lin Han accepts the challenge, won't he die miserably?"

"Not necessarily. Lin Has has also broken through to martial arts fourth tier. It's still a mystery as to who will emerge victorious."

"Lin Lang is a veteran in the Outer Residence after all. Moreover, the brothers have a deep background. Their father, Lin Wuya, is said to be an influential Elder in the higher-ups of the Sect. The reason why Lin Lang is so strong is mostly likely because Lin Wuya taught him many powerful martial arts." 

...

"Lin Lang?"

Lin Han's eyes flashed. He had heard of this name before.

Li Lang was the seventh strongest disciple in the Outer Residence.

Lin Han did not say anything else. He simply walked out of the house and headed towards a certain direction.

"Why, scared to fight against my Eldest Brother?" Lin Shi looked at Lin Han's back and immediately mocked.

He was really worried that Lin Han would not accept the challenge.

"Didn't you say that the duel would be at the combat arena?"

Lin Han's voice said.

Lin Shi's expression froze before he came back to his senses.

The direction Lin Han was walking towards was the Sect's combat arena.

"Good boy. This time, you'll definitely meet a tragic end." A malicious shadow flashed in Lin Shi's eyes as he muttered to himself.

Lin Han's domineering response shocked all the Outer Residence disciples around him.

This Lin Han.

Was he really going to accept it?

Was he truly not afraid of death?

A group of Outer Residence disciples followed behind Lin Han, wanting to witness the coming battle.

Along the way, Lin Han walked in front while a large gaggle of Outer Residence disciples followed from behind.

This vast array attracted the attention of everyone on the road.

Among them were many powerful Outer Residence disciples, including the top disciple Lin Tian, the third-ranked Lin Ruyan, and the fourth-ranked Lin Juedao...

All of them noticed the movements going on and looked at Lin Han in surprise.

In a short while, the crowd arrived at the combat arena.

Currently, a thin figure stood on the huge limestone stage. His face was naturally cold, and his eyes were sharp like knives, pinning onto Lin Han who was slowly walking over.

Lin Lang!

The seventh-ranked disciple of the Outer Residence!

The crowd felt their hearts stutter. The forceful True Element on Lin Lang's body was terrifying.

He had definitely stepped into the advanced level of the fourth tier and was at least an Advanced Master.

"You're the subdivision brat, Lin Han?" Lin Lang said, his tone lofty and arrogant.

"You're the main division brat, Lin Lang?"

Lin Han's voice also rang out.

He smiled coldly at Lin Lang and responded the same way.

"You…"

Suddenly, Lin Lang's eyes flashed. As if he thought of something, a cruel smile spread across his mouth. He said fiercely, "Since you dared to come, I'll teach you a good lesson. Although this is only the Outer Residence of the Lin Clan Sect, it's not a place where a lowly subdivision worm like you can be arrogant in!"
