Chapter 150: The Darling of Heaven, Ling Qingzhu
"So, that's how it is."
"Indeed, Elder Yao's skills are truly remarkable."
Upon hearing Elder Yao's confident words, Lin Yan couldn't help but offer some praise. Then, in that moment, the tension that had been hanging over him completely dissipated.
Now that it was confirmed that Elder Yao's strength completely overshadowed Lin Langtian's, Lin Yan had nothing to worry about.
After all, no matter how strong Lin Langtian was, he was no match for Elder Yao. So, there was no threat to him, and he could freely seek his own opportunities.
However, even as Lin Yan thought this, he couldn't help but speak up, "Although that's true, it's still necessary for me to continue improving my strength."
"After all, Elder Yao's strength, no matter how formidable, is still external to me."
"For cultivators, only one's own strength is genuine."
Lin Yan muttered to himself.
As for Elder Yao beside him, upon hearing Lin Yan's words, a look of approval appeared in his eyes.
In fact, he had thought about this before.
Although his strength was enough to overwhelm Lin Langtian, he was reluctant to intervene unless absolutely necessary.
It's not that Elder Yao was unwilling to help, but he was worried that intervening too much would make Lin Yan dependent on him, thus losing the heart of a true strong individual.
And this was the main reason why Elder Yao had never helped Lin Yan resolve his enemies.
Anything that Lin Yan could solve on his own without involving life or loved ones, it was best for him to handle it himself.
Otherwise, under the protection of an eagle, a chick could never truly spread its wings and soar.
But now that Lin Yan himself had realized this problem, Elder Yao felt quite relieved.
He couldn't help but stroke his beard and mutter to himself, "Heh, the lad's character, as always, doesn't require my worry."
"My previous concerns seem a bit unnecessary now."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Langtian's arrival, suddenly, a burst of laughter, thunderous like thunder, resounded from afar. Then, everyone could see a flash of golden light breaking through the sky, accompanied by a powerful aura rippling through the heavens and earth.
Lin Yan looked towards the golden light and soon spotted a golden spear tens of meters long suddenly appearing, with a figure clad in golden robes standing atop the spear, exuding an extremely intense aura of arrogance.
"I didn't expect that the representative from the Wang Clan this time would be Wang Yan."
Lin Yan didn't know these people, but Lin Ke'er beside him did. So when she saw Wang Yan appear, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Judging by your tone, you seem quite surprised by his arrival?" Lin Yan said to Lin Ke'er.
Lin Ke'er nodded in response, "Mr. Lin, you are unaware."
"Among the Wang Clan, there are two geniuses. One is Wang Yan. The other is his elder brother, Wang Zhong."
"This person's strength, even Lin Langtian, would be quite wary of. Every time they fought, it was always a draw."
"And Wang Yan, though slightly inferior, still possesses considerable strength, but now he only has the cultivation of the Form Creation Stage."
Lin Yan suddenly realized upon hearing this.
But he was quite interested in Wang Yan.
After all, Lin Yan was definitely no match for Lin Langtian's Qi Creation Stage cultivation.
But Wang Yan was at the Form Creation Stage, which Lin Yan thought he might have a chance against. Given his ability, he should be able to hold his own.
Seeing Lin Yan brimming with fighting spirit, Lin Ke'er couldn't help but twitch her lips, though Lin Yan didn't say it explicitly, his expression said it all. However, it did leave her feeling somewhat speechless.
Most people would try to avoid these geniuses, thinking about how to avoid their edge.
But not Lin Yan. As soon as he saw them, he wanted to spar with them. Only he would have such thoughts.
"Heh heh, didn't expect it would be you," Lin Langtian, in the sky, smiled faintly upon seeing Wang Yan.
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at this, then said somewhat displeased, "What? Looking down on me?"
"If not, this time my brother is in seclusion. The treasures of this ancient tomb will all belong to our Wang Clan."
Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly at this, but he didn't say much.
However, at this moment, another burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the front, followed by a surge of blue light and a rainbow-like aura emerging from the horizon. In an instant, it appeared in the sky.
People were slightly stunned to see this, and then they realized that above them, a giant kite, tens of meters long, was flapping its wings, emanating a powerful aura from its body.
Soon, the kite landed, and a man in blue jumped down. He had a strangely captivating appearance, even more so than many women. As soon as he appeared, he attracted many astonished gazes.
"That's a genius from the Qin Clan, Qin Shi."
Lin Ke'er's voice soon sounded.
As for Lin Yan, he felt the man's cultivation level and smiled, "Also at the Form Creation Stage."
Lin Dong beside him had been quite shaken. After all, many of these geniuses from major clans were around his age. But in terms of cultivation, he was far behind them. So at this moment, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little down.
But seeing Lin Yan brimming with fighting spirit, even eager to fight them, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a strange relaxation in his nervousness.
"Lin Yan, it's still you!" Lin Dong said.
Lin Yan just chuckled, "What's there to fear? Whether it's Form Creation or Qi Creation, I can take them on."
"If I can't win, I'll bluff. I've got your back."
Lin Dong didn't have Lin Yan's confidence, but hearing him say that, he felt much better inside.
At this moment, Wang Yan glanced at Qin Shi ahead.
"Qin Shi, didn't expect you to be here too. And you even brought your clan's Wind Kite Bird. Seems like you're fully prepared."
Qin Shi just smiled faintly at this, "Didn't you also bring out your Wang Clan's high-grade spiritual treasure, the Great Luo Golden Spear? This time, competing on the same stage as Brother Langtian, if we're not fully prepared, we might end up with nothing."
Wang Yan pursed his lips, "Since when did we break that seal?"
Lin Langtian, with a smile on his face, replied, "Waiting for one more person."
Hearing this, Wang Yan was puzzled, "Waiting for whom? Didn't the Emperor Pu Family say they're not coming?"
Lin Langtian smiled and answered, "They may not be sending anyone, but someone even more powerful has come."
The others were slightly stunned, and at that moment, a melodious voice suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
This voice was extremely beautiful, like the exquisite sound of a harp, intoxicating people.
"Heh heh, didn't expect Brother Langtian to hold Ling Qingzhu in such high regard. With the top talents of your Great Yan Empire present, it's probably difficult for Ling Qingzhu to gain anything here."
