Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 48 - 48 48 The Sublimation of Skills

48: Chapter 48: The Sublimation of Skills 48: Chapter 48: The Sublimation of Skills As the Dragon Tiger Divine General fell, the bandits’ morale instantly collapsed, shifting from scattered retreats to a complete rout in the blink of an eye.

Soldiers, under the command of Zhao Yuan, pursued the enemy fiercely and left countless bodies on the battlefield.

With the collapse of the reinforcements, Ruyi Temple soon surrendered afterward.

As soon as the fortress gates opened, soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, flooding in like a tide.

Zhao Yuan and Lin Xing stood together in the rear, discussing something.

The surrounding soldiers couldn’t help but look at Lin Xing with admiration and even worship.

Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Xing beside him and said, “In this world, those who study talismans and can use them are rare.

It’s surprising that someone as young as you can perform so many types of talismans, which shows you have extraordinary talent.”

Lin Xing, reflecting on his numerous experiences of honing his talisman skills in life-and-death situations, sighed, “I don’t have any special talent; it’s all due to diligent practice.”

Zhao Yuan thought Lin Xing was being modest and continued, “But you were too reckless this time.”

“Watching you fight the Dragon Tiger Divine General, a single mistake could have been fatal.”

“You were able to win this time not only because of your strength and exceptional courage but also thanks to your luck.”

“Don’t be so reckless in the future; since you have potential and talent, you should learn to preserve yourself…”

Zhao Yuan perceived that from catching the bandit leader single-handedly on Wolong Mountain to confronting the Dragon Tiger Divine General alone today, Lin Xing tended to take risky actions in critical situations.

Lin Xing, having listened to Zhao Yuan, thought about his numerous near-death experiences and nodded, “Yes, the Dragon Tiger Divine General was very strong.

If there had been even a slight error in today’s battle, he could have killed me with a single strike.”

Thinking his advice had an effect, Zhao Yuan felt relieved and said, “It’s good that you understand.

Don’t take such risks in the future.”

Moments later, both had already entered the interior of Ruyi Temple.

Crossing the high outer walls, Lin Xing saw that the entire Ruyi Temple was full of beautifully carved beams and luxurious buildings, every inch of the ground exuding opulence.

After Commander Zhang’s soldiers entered Ruyi Temple, they transformed, becoming like ruthless bandits, looting various treasures, and even disgracing the women inside.

Lin Xing also saw the soldiers who had voluntarily faced the Dragon Tiger Divine General in his defense.

Their youthful faces now only bore the marks of fierce desire.

As a righteous superpowered individual, Lin Xing couldn’t ignore this and began to stop the soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan thought, “Is Lin Xing trying to improve military discipline?

Indeed, these rascals need to be controlled, otherwise they will become unruly with more loot.”

With Zhao Yuan supporting him and the aura of having slain the Dragon Tiger Divine General today, the soldiers gradually, albeit reluctantly, restored order.

Late that night, when the day’s work was done, a soldier hurriedly approached Zhao Yuan, saying, “General, the Commander is here.”

…

Inside a grand hall of Ruyi Temple.

Zhao Yuan, observing the slightly pale face of Commander Zhang, asked with concern, “Commander, are you injured?”

Commander Zhang waved his hand dismissively, “I was hoping to lure out that ‘Evil Woman’ during the battle but was bitten by that little demon instead.”

Zhao Yuan asked, “Jing Shiyu appeared?”

Commander Zhang nodded, “She did come to watch the battle, but unfortunately, she was too sharp and sensed my ambush, preventing me from attacking her by surprise.

Afterwards, we clashed in secret; I narrowly won, and she was more severely injured than I…”

After saying that, Commander Zhang glanced at Lin Xing and said with a smile, “Lin Xing, you once again performed splendidly by slaying the Dragon Tiger Divine General today, earning you great merit.

What would you like?”

Lin Xing thought to himself, “I need to prepare for the advancement of my skills and expand my repertoire.”

So, he requested to see more Taoist texts, which Commander Zhang agreed to immediately.

On the other side, Commander Mansion.

Bai Yiyi, who was lying on the windowsill sunbathing, suddenly saw a shadow flash by and noticed that Mo Xingye had already returned to her room in the courtyard.

Looking at the figure with a deathly pale face and blood still at the corners of her mouth, Bai Yiyi became curious, “Is this woman injured?”

The stuffed cat toy tumbled to the ground and then sneakily ran under Mo Xingye’s windowsill.

Just then, she heard a hushed voice coming from inside the room, “Tell them the assassination failed, stay calm.”

The next moment, a white strange bird flew out of the window, soaring straight toward the sky.

…

After resting for a night at Ruyi Temple, Lin Xing returned to his room in Commander Mansion early the next morning.

He saw that a large box of Taoist scriptures had already been delivered by Commander Zhang.

Casually flipping through a few books, Lin Xing discovered that the box contained diverse scriptures from Purple Sun Temple, Tianxing Sect, and Qingfeng Temple, including not only their martial arts but also their unique Taoist techniques.

He couldn’t help but sigh to himself that although Commander Zhang had many faults, he was indeed generous to his own people.

“Daoist Child inheritance can’t enhance martial arts or skills like that; it can only enhance various Taoist techniques.”

“The only Taoist technique on my body that can be enhanced is the four-layered talisman.”

“So in the future, I still need to learn more unique Taoist techniques.”

However, after flipping through a few scriptures, Lin Xing temporarily put them aside since studying other techniques was for later; what concerned him most now was the four-layered talisman that could be enhanced at this moment.

“According to the memories from my awakening, there are various methods to enhance techniques.”

“The first type is to continuously practice a technique that has reached its limit, using the effort of years in training to complete the enhancement.

This method takes a long time, and the result of enhancement is uncertain, possibly spending a decade or more, only to achieve weak enhancement; it’s a helpless method.”

“The second method is the choice of various sects in the world, also accumulated from generation to generation.

It might involve practicing a special cultivation technique or consuming a particular elixir or food, or even certain special constitutions or talents.”

“The enhancement gained through secret techniques takes much less time than the first method and often has a fixed direction, able to achieve strong enhancement.”

“Like the Dragon Tiger Divine General technique, passed down through generations by the Heavenly Will Sect.”

“Commander Zhang gathering these scriptures may also be for related intelligence.”

These two methods are the most common types of enhancement in the world, but in the memories awoken by Lin Xing, there was a third, lesser-known secret method.

“Evil spirits can also be used to enhance techniques.”

Lin Xing rummaged through his pack and took out a pitch-black bizarre wood carving, precisely the unknown object he obtained after killing the Mountain God last time.

Looking at the wood carving in his hand, the event of killing the Mountain God seemed somewhat vague in Lin Xing’s mind, as if it had happened many years ago.

“Counting the time spent in my time reversal, it’s been many years since I killed the Mountain God.”

And in Lin Xing’s memory, using the relic born from this evil spirit could instantly complete the technique’s enhancement.

“But this third method also has a drawback, that is, the scarcity of evil spirits, making it not easy to obtain relics.”

“And the enhancement achieved by this method is random, depending entirely on luck to obtain a strong enhancement.”

“That is to say, using this third secret technique might end up in a small enhancement after a lot of time and effort has been spent.”

However, Lin Xing was not worried, rather he was filled with anticipation.

Because he was not an ordinary person, but a supernatural being with the ability to reverse time.

Looking at the black wood carving in his hand, Lin Xing thought, “As long as I can find someone who can continually kill me, I will be able to use time reversal to continuously farm for technique enhancement until I achieve an enhancement that satisfies me.”
