Chapter 234: Arriving at the Imperial City, the Battle of the Seeds
Even though it was the first time Lin Yan saw the elder in front of him, he soon deduced that this elder was probably Qing Tan's master mentioned before. Therefore, Lin Yan treated the elder with even more respect at this moment. He knew that following the elder for training would benefit Qing Tan, especially since the elder had unpredictable power and shared the same constitution as Qing Tan. So, in terms of how to help Qing Tan, probably no one on the Tianxuan continent knew better than him. With this thought, Lin Yan bowed to the elder and said, "From now on, I will rely on the elder to take care of Qing Tan." Hearing this, the elder sighed regretfully and said, "I would like to do so, but that girl doesn't seem to want to come back with me." Lin Yan smiled at the elder and said, "You can trust me to take care of that."
They soon parted ways. Afterwards, Qing Tan seemed to have come looking for Lin Yan specially because she knew he was going to participate in the Battle of the Seeds. She wanted Lin Yan to take her with him, as she had wished to accompany Lin Yan last time. "It's better if you don't go. Stay at home with Uncle Xiao and Aunt Liu. It's too dangerous for you to come out," Lin Yan intentionally said to Qing Tan. Qing Tan frowned at these words and angrily turned around and left: "You're a fool, Brother Lin Yan! I hate you so much!" Saying this, she quickly walked away. Lin Yan watched her figure disappear and let out a chuckle. Knowing this girl, after this experience, she would probably choose to follow the elder. It would be a great opportunity for her.
Lin Yan and Lin Dong continued practicing in the Lin Clan for several days. Afterwards, led by Patriarch Lin Fan, they joined Lin Langtian to leave the Lin Clan and head towards the Imperial City of Great Yan.
The group led by Lin Fan moved quickly, and since the Lin Clan was not very far from the Imperial City, under these circumstances, Lin Fan and the others took Lin Yan and the others directly to the Imperial City of the Lin Clan. Up until this moment, Lin Yan and Lin Dong could finally see what the Imperial City of Great Yan really looked like.
Although they had been to the County of Great Yan before, they had been at the Lin Clan all the time, so they had never been out. But this time it was different, under the leadership of Lin Fan, they arrived at the Imperial City. "No wonder it's the Imperial City, it really is prosperous."
Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Compared to the places he had been before, the Imperial City was indeed much more prosperous. Lin Fan also provided Lin Yan and Lin Dong with some information about the opponents in the Battle of the Seeds.
From the information he obtained, although this time in the Battle of the Seeds almost all the factions will send some powerful disciples, there are only five factions that really pose a threat to them. The Royalty, the Royal Wang Clan, and the three most powerful sectors of Great Yan: the Tianluo Sect, the Great Mercy Valley, and the Barbarian King Clan.
The disciples coming out from these five factions are also powerful, some of them even more powerful than Lin Langtian. Lin Dong listened to this and his expression became serious. After all, his strength was on the same level as Lin Langtian. But if there are some more powerful than Lin Langtian, then they might be more powerful than him as well. If they were outside, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After all, even if they were to face powerful opponents outside, Lin Yan would easily defeat them. But this is the Battle of the Seeds, and he can only rely on himself. Even Lin Dong felt a great pressure.
"Don't worry, you can handle it," Lin Yan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder as he smiled. Lin Dong nodded at Lin Yan. Lin Fan warned Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, don't let your guard down." Lin Yan just smiled confidently, "It's not letting my guard down, it's confidence."
Suddenly, Lin Yan said to Lin Fan, "Patriarch, I've even fought against a Three Yuan Nirvana practitioner. Although I couldn't win in the end, I cornered him."
"So if they are only opponents at the level of a One Yuan Nirvana, I can handle them," Lin Yan said with confidence in his voice. Lin Fan couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile at these words. But he didn't doubt the truthfulness of Lin Yan's words. After all, any normal person wouldn't lie about something like that. Plus, Lin Fan had already witnessed Lin Yan's power before. Although he hadn't seen him use all his power, the fact that he could easily defeat Lin Langtian said it all. After exhaling a sigh, Lin Fan said to Lin Yan, "In that case, this time the Lin Clan really depends on you."
Lin Langtian stood by with a grim expression. Seeing Lin Fan's attitude, perhaps Lin Yan was already being considered a key candidate for the Lin Clan's development. But the problem is that the relationship between Lin Langtian and him is extremely bad.
He has offended him many times in the past. If this continues, it won't be good for Lin Langtian. "It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to get rid of him," Lin Langtian murmured to himself. Although his strength is no match for Lin Yan's, Lin Langtian has a soul body technique in his body. With the help of his power, he could eliminate him, and it wouldn't be impossible.
The crowd continued their way forward. And after a tiring journey, they finally arrived at the heart of the palace. There were many people and horses there, but Lin Fan was already accustomed to this, so he took Lin Yan and the others to find a place to sit directly. Then, when they had free time, Lin Fan began to explain to Lin Yan.
"The selection of the contenders, each one has to draw a token. But what is drawn is not the opponent, but the hallway." "These hallways wind through the buildings, crisscrossing each other, and in the end, only five hallways lead to the grand hall." "And only those five at the end will get a spot." Lin Yan nodded at this.
Through his explanation, he finally understood a bit of this competition system. Soon, he glanced at the other warriors present. After an inspection, he found that everyone present was very talented individuals. Each of them had a cultivation level surpassing the Creation Realm. Previously, practitioners of the Creation Realm were extremely rare, but now, the room was filled with them. This made Lin Yan smile with satisfaction, "This is getting really interesting."
