Collecting Bloody Lilies, killing Kuang Yan the robber and hunting the Ink Flame Tiger,

three spiritual stone tasks were all accomplished. Now it was time to go back.

And he still had enough time to catch up with the mid-year assessment.

He had really gained a lot and improved greatly during this trip.

Mastering his Flowing Wind Swordplay, learning two lethal moves and achieving to the Completion level of his Tiger Fist.

Stabilizing on the fifth level of Martial Practice, and with the help of the two Blood Refining Elixirs, he would soon reach the peak of the fifth level.

The most important thing was that this trip greatly enriched Lin Yun’s experience and he had had real fights with people.

Now he was wondering which position he would be at during the mid-year assessment.

……

On the arena outside the Trigger Hall, Chen Xiao was fighting the trigger puppet with his sword, with the momentum of the sixth level of Martial Practice. His Wild Thunder Swordplay was as swift as the lightning and as powerful as the thunder. Every prick was as heavy as hell. And he could throw ten moves in an instant.

Thunder-like blare could be heard with every prick.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When the sword chopped on the trigger puppet, it made clunking sound with dreadful power.

While he was swinging his sword, his gloomy face was extremely terrifying, like the trigger puppet was Lin Yun who had humiliated him in front of everyone.

He vented all his hatred and anger on the trigger puppet. Everyone held his breath on looking at his face.

Down the arena, all outer disciples dare not make any sound, because no one wanted to make him unhappy to draw fire against himself.

“Has that sword slave come back?”

asked Chen Xiao while he easily warded off the trigger puppet’s pouncing.

“Senior brother Chen, that guy hasn’t come back yet. And there’ll be only a few days before the mid-year assessment. Is it possible he has already died out somewhere?”

“I heard he has claimed three extremely dangerous spiritual stone tasks, one of which is to kill Kuang Yan the robber.”

“Yes, yes, yes! No one could be more ruthless than Kuang Yan the robber. A lot of disciples of other sects died in his hands. Lin Yun would be no exception. Maybe you don’t even have to make your own hands dirty.”

They were all trying to please him carefully.

“No! He must die in my hands. I will cut him into pieces!”

With a raging howl, Chen Xi already swung 81 pricks in an instant.

Even the trigger puppet got blown away by the sword wave and fell into pieces down the arena.

Big Achievement of the Wild Thunder Swordplay!

All outer disciples gasped, shaking with fear, “He has made it to the Big Achievement of his Wild Thunder Swordplay!”

“You all listen carefully! Keep your eyes wide open! If you see him back, report it to me right away.”

cried Chen Xiao while casting a glance at them.

“Yes, yes, we know.”

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

No one dare oppose him, so they could only nod and say yes.

They dare not oppose him before. And now since Chen had reached the sixth level of Martial Practice and made it to Big Achievement of his Wild Thunder Swordplay, they were even more afraid of him.

“Senior brother Chen, Lin has come back. Someone saw him in Qingyun Town.”

someone ran from out of the Trigger Hall and said to Chen Xiao in a hurry.

After a moment’s silence, Chen Xiao burst into laughter, “Hahaha, I’m glad he is back. I’m glad he is back. I’m glad he is back.”

When saying the last few words, he gritted his teeth, with his face twisted.

Swoosh!

Chen Xiao jumped off the arena and walked out quickly.

“Oh no. This is bad. That sword slave is dead this time.”

“Yeah. He ran away last time. And senior brother Chen burned his house in a pet. He has been waiting for this for two whole months.”

“Poor Lin. I think senior brother Chen wouldn’t take him as his peer and show mercy this time.”

“After all he lost due to his underestimation of Lin and got humiliated in front of everyone.”

“Come on. Hurry. Let’s go have a look.”

Almost all outer disciples out of the Trigger Hall went to watch it. Even those who had no connections with Chen Yun went after him.

In a short time, a massive crowd was following after Chen Xiao, which made him quite imposing.

Lin Yun stood before the gate for a long time.

“I’m finally back.”

He had accomplished all the tasks two days before the mid-year assessment.

He had experienced the joys after having made Big Achievement, the depression while making deals with a profiteer, and despair when being chased by the reckless bulls…

Within two months, he had greatly enriched his life experience, ups and downs.

A kind of calmness and maturity grew on this young face.

“I should go deliver my tasks first.”

On thinking of the reward for the three spiritual stone tasks, Lin Yun picked up the pace.

In a few minutes, Lin Yun, who had already practiced the Wild Goose Script, had come before the square of the Sect Affairs Administration.

And when he was about to walk onto the steps, a large crowd of people were walking towards him, under Chen Xiao’s lead.

On seeing the expression of those who were following Chen Xiao, Lin Yun immediately knew what Chen was doing here.

But after having been through everything in the mountains, this didn’t frighten him a bit.

How could it be more dangerous than being chased by a few hundreds of Golden Reckless Bulls?

“What? Trying to deliver your tasks?”

Chen Xiao ridiculed him. Now he was not in such a hurry after seeing Lin Yun.

He was thinking how to humiliate him in front of everyone.

But Lin Yun didn’t say a word but walked towards him instead.

Chen Xiao was surprised and then cried, “Little sword slave, are you sick of living?”

On seeing Lin Yun was approaching, Chen Xiao decided to fight him.

But….it was too late.

The moment his hand touched the hilt, a punch was already thrown at him.

When Lin Yun was only a few steps away, he suddenly speeded up and took the upper hand to attack with his Tiger Fist.

Boom!

He hit on Chen Xiao’s chest with his Tiger Fist at the Completion level. Chen got blown away on the spot.

When Chen Xiao struggled to his feet after landing, he fell down again due to the extreme pains in the chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.

And then his mouth kept bleeding without his control.

Chen Xiao lied on the ground, with one hand covering his chest while the other pointing at Lin Yun, but he could not say a word.

This punch didn’t simply hurt his ribs. It had hurt his internal organs through the ribs. He wouldn’t be able to get up within at least two hours.

On the way back, Lin Yun took the left two Blood Refining Elixirs. His qi and blood were flowing like rivers and burning like raging flames.

Under the help of the four Blood Refining Elixirs, his body was deadly strong now.

Five punches of any others might not be as powerful as one of his.

Besides, his is the Tiger Fist of the Completion level.

Chen Xiao thought he could have defeated Lin Yun relying on his six level cultivation and Wild Thunder Swordplay of Big Achievement.

Besides, he had put more thoughts on how to humiliate Lin Yun.

But on the first glance of him, Lin Yun had been fully prepared to throw that punch without showing any mercy.

Those who followed Chen as the lookers-on were all startled.

On seeing Lin Yun running at Chen while Chen was still ridiculing him, they all thought this sword slave was dead meat.

But in an instant the arrogant and domineering Chen Xiao had already been lying on the ground, spitting out blood.

One punch! Only one punch!

Chen Xiao became a laughing stock before hundreds of outer disciples.

“Crap!”

Lin Yun muttered, and then walked towards the Sect Affairs Administration directly.

“Little sword slave, what did you say?”

Chen Xiao seemed to hear what he said, and asked, bearing the huge pains in the chest.

One could tell how painful it was through his twisted face. But he still tried to struggle to his feet.

Some outer disciples who were his friends really didn’t have the heart to see him like that, and said, “Senior brother, he said you are crap.”

Puff!

On hearing that, Chen Xiao spit out a long blood arrow.

A kind of unbelievable expression showed on that pale face. The lowest sword slave of Qingyun Sect said he was crap?!

He wanted to say something but held it, because the fact was he was indeed knocked down by Lin.

On thinking of that, hatred took up all his thoughts. And there was sick blush showing on his face.

“I..I…I hate it!”

After saying that, the senior outer disciple Chen Xiao passed out due to his extreme anger.
