Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 255 - 25 First Encounter

Chapter 255: Chapter 25 First Encounter

Lin Yuan looked calmly at the few people in front of him.

The faces of more than ten guards were all filled with horror at this moment. Especially Zhao Jing, who had deliberately provoked Lin Yuan earlier.

But seeing the miserable appearance of Shen Shuyan and He Run behind him, he felt afraid too.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing kowtowed fervently, begging loudly for mercy, "Lord Lin, I was blind and foolish. Under the influence of He Run, I was as muddled as a pig, unaware that the true dragon is you, my lord."

Zhao Jing raised his right hand and slapped himself hard: "I beg for your forgiveness, please pardon my mistakes."

Behind Lin Yuan, Qiao Yuanjing looked at He Run, who lay in the distant ravine, and couldn’t help but gasp in awe.

Further seeing Zhao Jing’s already swollen cheek, it all seemed like a dream.

Ding Yu chuckled sinisterly. Felt the same as last night, huh?

Lord Lin, this terrifying strength has once again refreshed his understanding. Killing the Incense Guide yesterday wasn’t his limit; probably now he’s showing his true limit.

Gu Baoshi had a solemn expression, looking deeply at Lin Yuan, etching his face into his mind.

This Lin Yuan is no fool, but a true dragon, just like Lu Rong, a true dragon.

"Whatever is hidden in the Black Dragon Pool, I must act quickly, exploring it fully before Lin Yuan discovers," thoughts flickered continually through Gu Baoshi’s mind.

Just then, at the yamen gate, Lin Yuan had ideas on how to deal with these people.

"Guard Zhao, earlier you said you’ve eaten more salt than the rice I’ve eaten." Lin Yuan sneered coldly: "Having seen people eat rice, today I want to see people eat salt."

Lin Yuan turned his head to glance at Ding Yu beside him: "Bring two barrels of fine salt and have Lord Zhao eat it as a meal."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yu showed a lackey-like fierce grin: "Rest assured, I’ll make sure they waste not a single grain, even licking clean what falls on the ground."

Finished speaking, Ding Yu felt amused inside, Lord Lin has such a wicked sense of humor.

But old Ding couldn’t help but really enjoy it.

Thinking of Zhao Jing’s pale sorrowful face, old Ding felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Eating salt, that’s worse than eating medicine.

"I suppose the few of you had such thoughts before," Lin Yuan looked at the other guards again, speaking lightly: "No need to explain, I don’t want to hear more. You’ll regain your freedom when you finish two barrels of fine salt."

He didn’t want to kill all these guards. He needed them to maintain order at Black Dragon Pool. Killing them all would make it troublesome to find replacements temporarily.

Moreover, these people are all weathercocks, backing whoever is strong. He didn’t need their loyalty, as long as they timely sent the tributes to the martial academy and properly placated the populace.

He didn’t have much time to waste on these trivial matters.

Today he revealed so many of his trump cards to make the upper echelons aware of his talents.

To have them nurture him as a core member, allowing him to obtain more resources in a shorter time.

Currently, the most critical task is to do everything possible to elevate himself. Because the blood eye hidden in the Ghost Path Taoist is getting closer and closer to him.

This sense of crisis always hovered in his heart. Only by improving his cultivation could he hope to seize a glimmer of survival in the imminent crisis.

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, the over ten guards immediately wore bitter melon faces.

At this time, Ding Yu stepped forward, patting Zhao Jing’s shoulder: "Guard Zhao, eating salt is better than losing your life. Aren’t you going to thank the lord’s immense magnanimity?"

Lu, Zhao, and several others once again fell prostrate, respectfully saying: "Thank you, yamen lord, for your leniency."

Lin Yuan nodded lightly, then took a step forward. His gaze fell on Gu Baoshi and the others, cupping his fist: "Brother Gu, thank you for witnessing the embarrassment today. It was my poor reception, please come into the yamen, where I have prepared a feast as an apology."

"Haha." Gu Baoshi exhibited a smile, praising: "Brother Lin, you truly opened my eyes today, and you will undoubtedly become another genius of Baiyan City. We are neighbors for a long time, so we won’t disturb you further today."

With that, Gu Baoshi cupped his fist, signaling the others behind him to quietly leave.

Lin Yuan also cupped his fist, watching their backs, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes.

Seeing Qi Yu and the two others, he stepped forward to her: "Two senior sisters, thank you for your great help earlier, please come into the yamen for a chat to express my gratitude."

Qi Yu looked at Lin Yuan’s composure and confidence, especially those calm eyes, like stars twinkling in the night sky, leaving a deep impression on her.

Just earlier, she was also shocked by the power Lin Yuan exhibited.

Lin Yuan being able to break that move made her particularly delighted, further confirming her suspicion.

The earlier rumors were all deliberately defaming Lin Yuan, to tarnish him and the Yun Yin lineage.

Seeing the man before her, having endured the slander and gossip, she empathized with that discomfort. Due to their similar experiences, Qi Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit closer to this man.

Qi Yu nodded slightly and walked into the yamen together with Lin Yuan.

Finally, after Lin Yuan disappeared, the oppressed crowd suddenly burst into a commotion.

At this time, everyone was flushed, extremely excited.

Today they felt like riding a roller coaster, highs and lows, continuously undulating.

Everyone was discussing Lin Yuan’s bravery today, how unstoppable he was. Lin Yuan’s deeds, through word of mouth, spread like ripples, endlessly expanding.

Simultaneously, countless messages flew in all directions, reporting to the upper levels.

Those who followed He Run only dared to move to rescue He Run after Lin Yuan disappeared. In a short time, they carried Shen Shuyan along and vanished into the crowd.

If Lin Yuan changed his mind and wanted to kill them, it would be too late to leave.

But soon after they left, someone was watching their disappearing backs, letting out a cold laugh.

Two figures flickered and followed.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan and Qi Yu sat again in the gazebo.

The servant prepared hot tea again.

Lin Yuan picked up the teapot from the charcoal stove and poured the boiling spring water into a teacup: "Today, I didn’t expect you, senior sister, to lend a helping hand. Lin Yuan is endlessly grateful."

At this time, Lu Yanxiu looked curiously at the man in front of her: "Junior Brother Lin, I didn’t expect your strength to be so high, truly shocked Sister Qi and me."

"Haha, in front of you two senior sisters, it’s nothing but a trivial skill." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, pouring more tea for Lu Yanxiu: "But I do have a question, I don’t know why you two senior sisters came to Black Dragon Pool."

"Is there any treasure in Black Dragon Pool worthy of your visit? Moreover, the senior sister wanted to help me in my time of crisis, this point I truly don’t understand." Lin Yuan put down the teapot, his tone extremely sincere.

Qi Yu shook her head slowly: "I came to Black Dragon Pool not for anything else. One is to feel the natural world and seek a breakthrough opportunity during cultivation. The other is curiosity about you."

"About me?"

Lin Yuan frowned.

Before today, he was always ordinary. After the edict was issued, his reputation was notorious, everyone wanted him gone.

Why was Qi Yu interested in him?

He didn’t think this top-ten core disciple at the martial academy had any ulterior motive towards him.

Besides being handsome, he had nothing compared

to the other senior brothers.

"Junior Brother Lin, you underestimate yourself. Within just a month of entering the martial academy, you defeated He Run. Such an impressive feat, at your stage, I couldn’t even dare imagine," Lu Yanxiu’s voice conveyed admiration and amazement.

"Lin Yuan, your strength is so outstanding, I never predicted it," Qi Yu’s eyes held some recognition: "Since that is the case, I will speak frankly. I intend to invite you to join the guard. Of course, the guard is under my command."

"Guard? Why form a guard?"
