Chapter 202: The Spiritual Battle Pill, Mastery of the Energy Creation Realm!
In the vast and ancient plain, silence reigned. After hearing Lin Yan's words directed at Lin Langtian, everyone present was stunned. What arrogance!
That was the only thought in everyone's mind. Not only was he facing Wang Yan, but Lin Yan also did not fear Lin Langtian. He even had the audacity to insult him. Although what he said was true, Lin Langtian's actions truly embarrassed the Lin clan. But considering Lin Langtian's strength and the power of the Lin clan, most people, even if they thought the same, wouldn't dare to say it.
But Lin Yan was different. Not only did he think it, but he also said it. In front of Lin Langtian, his voice was sharp and disdainful, saying aloud what everyone thought but didn't dare to express.
That's why everyone looked at Lin Yan with a mix of strangeness and admiration.
"So this is Qingzhu's friend. He's truly brave," murmured Huangpu Jing, surprised.
Mu Qianqian, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh.
"This is Lin Dong's older brother. What audacity! No matter if he faces one of the four great clans, he shows no respect. I like his attitude," she commented.
However, Teng Kui and the others didn't think the same. They had suffered at the hands of Lin Yan before and didn't want him to succeed. Upon hearing his words, they sneered coldly.
"Idiot! How dare he challenge Lin Langtian? He doesn't know what he's doing."
Lin Langtian, for his part, was furious. His eyes burned with anger as he looked at Lin Yan.
"Do you dare to repeat that?" he said.
Lin Yan showed no fear, but he wasn't going to repeat it. He only responded with a cold smile:
"Are you deaf?"
Lin Langtian became even more enraged. He felt that Lin Yan had humiliated him in front of everyone and his fury grew. Energy began to flow through his body as he prepared to attack Lin Yan.
"Langtian, it's better if you don't attack. Although this kid is insolent, he has some truth. If you fight now, we'll confirm what he said, and it'll really seem like we're bowing to the Wang clan. This would damage the reputation of our Lin clan," said an elder stopping him.
Lin Langtian looked indecisive and angry.
"But if I don't defeat him, how can I maintain my position in the Lin clan?" he retorted.
"Langtian is right, we can't allow this insolence to continue. If we let this kid go on like this, no one will respect us," said another thin elder.
They needed a final decision, so everyone looked at a white-haired elder with a youthful face.
"Let's leave this matter here. Although Lin Yan is arrogant, he has potential. For the sake of the Lin clan, we shouldn't worry so much about the Wang clan, who are outsiders. Lin Yan may be valuable in the future, let's not discourage him for the Wang clan's sake," said the elder.
Lin Langtian, unable to do more, controlled himself.
"Lin Yan, out of consideration for our elders, I'll forgive you this time. But if you do it again, I'll take you to the clan leader to be punished," he said coldly.
Lin Yan showed no reaction, but he felt some respect for the white-haired elder. At least, not everyone in the Lin clan was foolish.
He decided not to provoke Lin Langtian further. He knew that sooner or later he would have to face him, and he would do it fairly. Then he looked at the members of the Wang clan.
"Aren't you going to do anything? When we return to the Wang clan, we'll report this to the leader," said one of them.
Lin Yan scoffed.
"Why don't you make your leader come and fight me? I want to see how the Wang clan tries to intimidate the youth."
The members of the Wang clan were furious, but they couldn't do anything against Lin Yan. At that moment, a strange energy began to emanate from the ancient monument. The inscriptions on it slowly faded away.
"It seems that the seal is breaking," said Lin Yan to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong nodded.
"Then, get ready to enter. Let's not waste time with these people," he replied.
Lin Yan agreed. Facing the Wang clan could wait, but he couldn't miss the opportunity offered by the ancient monument. He needed to explore its interior and find the places to sign.
They waited a moment longer, and finally, when the inscriptions disappeared, the monument trembled. A huge energy emerged and formed a vortex in the air, absorbing all the energy around it.
"Let's go!" said Lin Yan to Lin Dong and he advanced first towards the monument.
Lin Dong quickly nodded and followed closely behind.
However, after entering the ancient monument, they were both transported to different areas.
"Lin Dong?" called Lin Yan as he entered the monument, but received no response. He used his spiritual energy to investigate and soon discovered that Lin Dong was not nearby.
"It seems he has been transported to another area. Well, he has the ability to protect himself now. I better focus on finding the signing place."
Lin Yan didn't think much of it and began searching for the signing place inside the monument. Shortly after, Elder Yao emerged from the ring. This place also piqued his interest.
Both wandered through the monument for a while until suddenly, the system's voice resonated:
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed the registration in the ancient monument (Demon Hunt Valley)!]
[Reward obtained! Perfect-quality Spiritual Battle Pill!]
[Reward distributed! Please receive it!]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Lin Yan was surprised. He checked the reward and found a pill.
He frowned slightly. Although obtaining the Spiritual Battle Pill was good, it seemed like a modest reward for a place like the ancient monument.
"Demon Hunt Valley is the name of this place? It seems there is more than one signing place in this monument. That makes more sense."
Lin Yan quickly arrived at this conclusion. He took out the pill, and Elder Yao, upon seeing it, also frowned.
"Young friend, this is a Spiritual Battle Pill. It will be very useful to you now."
Lin Yan nodded.
"Yes, I just got it. I'll use it for training."
He found a secluded place, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed the pill. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, a powerful energy emerged. Lin Yan used his internal energy to refine the pill, and his power increased significantly.
It didn't take long before he came out of his training state. He opened his eyes and felt that his energy had grown considerably.
"I have reached the mastery of the Energy Creation Realm. I have improved a lot," he said with a smile.
Without wasting any more time, he went to search for another signing place. He explored the surroundings and finally reached some huge ruins. Upon reaching the door of the ruins, he saw that it was already open and frowned.
"Has someone else arrived first?"
"Let's go in. We're already here; there may still be people inside," suggested Elder Yao.
Lin Yan agreed and entered. As soon as he did, he saw a huge black hole that seemed to reach the bottom of the earth. Around the hole were numerous tunnels, and remnants of dismembered members could be seen, which was chilling.
"The Dark Puppet Cultists are here," warned Elder Yao.
Lin Yan looked forward and indeed saw members of the Dark Puppet Cult. Not only them, but also members of the Great Demon Portal and Lin Dong with his group.
"It seems they are fighting for an advanced spiritual puppet," said Elder Yao.
Lin Yan replied:
"If Lin Dong wants that, it's his. As for those dogs from the Dark Puppet Cult, I'll kill them all."
With a cold laugh, Lin Yan lunged forward. The situation was at a stalemate, but his appearance drew everyone's attention.
"Brother Lin Yan, you're here!" said Lin Dong excitedly.
The members of the Dark Puppet Cult showed concern upon seeing him.
"What do you plan to do, Lin Yan?" asked Teng Kui, nervously.
Lin Yan replied with a smile:
"I don't usually let my enemies live. They came for me, so I'll kill them all."
With those words, Lin Yan quickly advanced towards the Dark Puppet Cultists. Before they could react, he was already in front of them and unleashed a punch charged with electricity and fire, with terrifying force.
"Damn it! Kill him!" shouted Teng Kui, frustrated by Lin Yan's unexpected attack.
But his strength was no match for Lin Yan. Before, when he hadn't improved yet, Lin Yan already defeated them easily. Now, after consuming the Spiritual Battle Pill, his power had increased even more.
Bang!
With a precise blow, Lin Yan pierced through Teng Kui's chest and, before he could react, tore out his heart and crushed it.
The disciples and elders of the Dark Puppet Cult were stunned to see Lin Yan's brutality. But it didn't end there; in the blink of an eye, Lin Yan killed the rest of the warriors.
The ground was stained with blood. Lin Yan invoked his spiritual fire to burn any trace of blood on his body, resembling a demonic god.
Lin Dong, upon seeing this, couldn't help but shiver. He realized that his brother Lin Yan's power had increased considerably.
