Chapter 318: Chapter 86 Challenge

Ever since Lu Angzhou’s chaos surfaced, disciples from martial academies in Changle Village have been occasionally killed.

But most of the deaths are of lower-level disciples, except for Lu Angzhou’s assassination, which did not attract much attention from the higher-ups.

This had little impact on Lin Yuan’s emergence.

After quietly cultivating for half a month, the apertures in his body have now reached eighty-three.

"There’s still half a month left until the incense holder arrives," Lin Yuan mused to himself.

Once the apertures reach a hundred, he feels he could defeat the incense holder. But this would undoubtedly cause a significant stir.

Now that Changle Village is full of spies, he can’t exert his full strength while being watched by everyone.

"Take it one step at a time. Let’s see what the attitude of this incense holder is,"

"Perhaps I can pretend to be friendly, delay a bit, and find an opportunity to strike. It seems like a good idea."

Lin Yuan pondered briefly and then ended today’s cultivation.

"Cough, cough."

A soft coughing sound echoed from beside the martial field.

"Sister Xi,"

Lin Yuan’s gaze flickered, looking at Xi Yuanrong walking in slowly.

Ever since that day, she followed her uncle Ru Yan to watch him cultivate. She said she wanted to learn from him and mentioned that the fairy Ru Yan was busy with affairs, asking Lin Yuan to take care of Xi Yuanrong.

Given Ru Yan’s status and strength, Lin Yuan had no choice but to nod and agree.

Thus, Xi Yuanrong came almost daily to Lin Yuan’s martial field to watch him practice.

However, Xi Yuanrong did one thing very well; she just quietly watched Lin Yuan practice martial arts without disturbing him.

After getting familiar, Lin Yuan no longer rejected having this sister around.

"Cough, cough." Strange nuances appeared deep in Xi Yuanrong’s eyes.

Lin Yuan’s strength has improved since she first came. It was another qualitative leap.

She was acutely aware of this.

"His speed in condensing apertures is so fast, almost at the rate of one aperture per day," She calculated slightly, realizing that even with Xi Yuanrong’s insight, this was an achievement only top-tier geniuses could reach.

This rate of condensation makes Lin Yuan’s upper limit determined only by the number of apertures.

"With Fire Crow Sect’s cultivation technique, reaching one hundred and twenty apertures is almost the limit."

Xi Yuanrong’s eyes flickered, and there was a faint hint of anticipation for Lin Yuan.

Can he reach the limit?

"If he can reach the limit, then continue to tap his potential. The Qu Xiang Sect issue might have a greater chance of success."

Xi Yuanrong’s face revealed a faint smile.

After a while.

Seeing Lin Yuan finish practicing for the day, she nodded slightly and was about to leave.

But at that moment, Xi Yuanrong turned to look at the core hall of the Changle Village Palace.

Just as Xi Yuanrong’s gaze fell there.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Like spring thunder roaring, accompanied by constant flashing red and blue, the deafening sound drew everyone’s attention in Changle Village towards it.

Lin Yuan was also attracted by the sound, looking up into the distance.

"Is the true disciple fight starting now?"

Lin Yuan stared at the sky, suspecting.

But the sound ceased completely after more than ten breaths.

Lin Yuan and Xi Yuanrong withdrew their gazes at the same time and exchanged a look.

"Brother, I’m going back." Xi Yuanrong nodded slightly and walked slowly out of Lin Yuan’s small courtyard.

With the cough sound gone, Lin Yuan was still captivated by Xi Yuanrong’s recent performance.

At his level, his sense was exceptionally keen. The crawling of ants within three zhang might appear in his sensory range.

Unless martial artists practice a technique to hide their traces, they won’t usually escape detection.

Earlier, he clearly felt that Xi Yuanrong had noticed the true disciple commotion before he did.

"What is the background of this sister Xi Yuanrong?"

A question arose in his mind.

With eighty plus apertures condensed, he couldn’t perceive the commotion, yet Xi Yuanrong discovered it.

From Xi Yuanrong’s eyes, there was calmness, only calmness.

As if the true disciples would carry on fighting, it wouldn’t affect her at all.

This is completely unreasonable.

The three true disciples in Changle Village are all capable of killing strong individuals in the Divine Yuan realm.

He felt shaken by the situation. What gives her such composure?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt deep confusion.

"I never doubted the identity of Uncle Ru Yan and Sister Xi. But now, it seems these two seem problematic, and quite significantly so."

In a flash, Lin Yuan thought of many things. After slight contemplation, he pondered again: "Maybe this sister deliberately showed me this?"

"Then what is her purpose?"

"Moreover, has she already noticed my hidden strength?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply.

The next day.

Lin Yuan was still cultivating in the martial field.

Xi Yuanrong, as usual, sat calmly in the pavilion, quietly watching Lin Yuan.

But amidst his cultivation, Lin Yuan quietly began to probe this sister Xi’s aura.

After a while, Lin Yuan’s expression remained as usual, but he was far from calm within.

"Such profound aura, like an abyss."

Lin Yuan was shocked at heart.

He even felt that Xi Yuanrong’s aura was deeper than even Uncle Ru Yan’s.

Retracting his aura, he looked up quietly at Xi Yuanrong.

But as he gazed over, she looked back at him calmly.

Her pitch-black eyes simply looked at him, as if seeing through his everything.

"Xi Yuanrong, definitely not Ling Yuan!"

Lin Yuan felt cold air rushing from his feet straight to his head, making his back cold.

Even his body felt stiff under that gaze.

"Cough, cough." The gentle cough sound snapped Lin Yuan back to reality.

"Brother," Xi Yuanrong spoke softly, "Being distracted can affect cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan slowly exhaled a long breath.

"Thank you, sister, for your guidance."

Lin Yuan clasped his hands, slightly nodded, and continued cultivating.

Although his heart was full of vigilance, the other party showed little ill intention, so he continued cultivating.

After finishing cultivation and sending off the mysterious sister Xi Yuanrong, Lin Yuan let out a quiet sigh.

"In front of this woman, I feel thoroughly seen inside and out."

Lin Yuan smiled wryly.

At that moment, he received a message sent by Changle Village.

And with it, an order token.

Lin Yuan’s gaze slightly focused, opening the letter for a detailed read.

After a while.

Lin Yuan’s expression slightly moved: "We martial academy disciples are to challenge each other?"

"Also, Xuri Martial Academy must defeat Qingmu Martial Academy students?!"

Lin Yuan frowned.

Yesterday, the two true disciples seemed to have made quite a commotion.

Later, hearing the fellow disciple’s rumors, it seemed Jin true disciple was very dissatisfied with Lu Angzhou’s assassination, now demanding everyone to defeat Qingmu Martial Academy students.

"Those who don’t win will be sent to the front lines to face the demonic sect directly. Only by acquiring battle merits can they return to Changle Village?"

Lin Yuan’s eyes slightly brightened, thinking losing seems quite favorable for him.
