"The strength of people from the major families is very strong, especially the Qin family, which is said to have revealed a Spiritualist this time," Li Wushuang said.
"A Spiritualist has appeared." Li Lin was somewhat surprised inside. It seemed that the Qin family had been concealing their capabilities until now, only revealing their Spiritualist at this moment.
"This time, Qingyun Town will be quite lively, with you guys participating. It is said that an elder from Yunyang Sect will personally come to select new disciples this time. In the past, it was only a deacon who came," Li Wushuang said with a smile.
"It looks like there will be a fierce competition this time," Li Lin thought to himself. He definitely needed to master the Fury Fist quickly; otherwise, getting into the top five would be difficult.
After returning to his room and informing his mother, Rolan, Li Lin also instructed Li Xiaobai not to allow anyone to disturb him in his room. He also handed Li Xiaobai two Crown Pills to aid in his cultivation.
With everything prepared, Li Lin sat cross-legged in his room, forming a hand seal and clasping a jade slip of the Fury Fist technique. His eyes slowly closed as he somewhat awkwardly utilized his soul power, channeling a stream of soul power into the jade slip.
Li Lin was already proficient in controlling Qi and spiritual power, but soul power, derived from spiritual power and Qi, was something he had less experience with. Uncle Jiang had emphasized the importance of soul power.
As Li Lin's breathing stabilized, the room quieted down. Simultaneously, a glow from the jade slip of the Fury Fist technique infused directly into Li Lin's forehead.
Information about the Fury Fist technique appeared in Li Lin's mind, which he quickly memorized.
After a long silence, the seated Li Lin suddenly opened his eyes, formed a hand seal, and his right palm transformed into a fist. A stream of Qi vibrated out from within him, turning into a pale red color, raising the room's temperature significantly.
"Sss!" Li Lin's fist was surrounded by Qi, emitting a faint flame. This was not a flame condensed from spiritual power but one formed from Qi through the fire attribute.
However, the flame had just appeared on Li Lin's fist before it vanished.
"Continue." Li Lin kept changing hand seals, earnestly practicing the Fury Fist technique. It was normal to fail multiple times; martial techniques were not something that could be mastered in one go.
As time passed, three days later, Li Lin, still seated cross-legged, with his Qi vibrating and a pale red glow surrounding him, managed to channel a stream of Qi through a specific meridian to his right fist, where a flame burst forth explosively.

"Boom..." He punched forward, and a fiery fist imprint, along with a strong force, hit the wall, creating a loud noise. A small crater formed on the thick wall, with cracks spreading like a spider web.
"Master, what happened?" Soon after, Li Xiaobai was outside the room, anxiously calling in. The loud noise was like demolishing a house, heard by everyone in the courtyard.
"It's nothing. I'm practicing martial techniques," Li Lin took a deep breath, thankful that his punch wasn't entirely successful; otherwise, the collapse of the courtyard could have buried him alive.
"Why was it earth-shattering?" Li Xiaobai murmured as he walked away, his voice fading into the background chatter with other servants: "It's nothing. Let's all step back. The master is practicing martial techniques."
"It would be better to find a safer place for practice. It's not convenient here," Li Lin thought to himself, realizing his room was not as sturdy as the secret chamber Jiang Uncle had built.
"Let's rest for a bit. I've made some progress with the Fury Fist," Li Lin said lightly, having achieved some success with the technique over the three days. He decided to rest before practicing again.
"Sss..." A wriggling sensation came from his arm as the little dragon slowly crawled from his sleeve to his palm.
"Did I wake you?" Li Lin picked up the little dragon, surprised to see a thin layer of scales on it, making its previously pale yellow skin slightly more lustrous.
The little dragon had grown from about twelve centimeters to fifteen, its small eyes becoming even darker, staring affectionately at Li Lin.
"Are you hungry again?" Li Lin could sense the little dragon's desires, seeming to crave the Crown Pill it had eaten before.
"Alright, I'll give you another one, but that's it," Li Lin thought, not having prepared food for the little dragon, but feeling it benefited from the Crown Pill, he took out another from his storage ring.
"Whoosh!" Seeing the Crown Pill and smelling its enticing fragrance, the little dragon quickly swallowed it and contentedly stuck out its tongue before crawling back into Li Lin's sleeve, wrapping around his arm.
"Why are you shedding? Did you break through?" Li Lin noticed the thin layer of shed scale in his palm, seemingly just shed, with faint traces of blood, staining his hand.
Li Lin examined the scale, finding it incredibly tough, impossible to tear apart. He stored it in his storage ring, considering anything from the little dragon likely extraordinary.
Storing the scale away, Li Lin inadvertently felt the mysterious martial technique Uncle Jiang had given him, which he had tried many methods to open without success.
Li Lin once again took out the jade slip, examining it closely. The ancient green slip appeared very old, even covered in dirt, its origin unknown to Li Lin.
If not for trusting Uncle Jiang, Li Lin might have suspected the jade slip was stolen from an ancient tomb.
Li Lin tried again to open the jade slip with soul power, although he had tried this before without success. Still, the jade slip remained unopened, as Uncle Jiang said the technique was profound and beyond his ability to unlock.
Playing with the jade slip, Li Lin didn't realize that the blood from the little dragon's shed scales had accidentally smeared on it.
As a trace of blood touched the jade slip, a faint glow appeared on it.
"What's happening?" Li Lin, seeing the change, infused soul power into the jade slip again.
The ancient green jade slip suddenly shone brightly, injecting a massive stream of information into Li Lin's mind.
