Chapter 369 - 286: Murder and Treasures? (Part 2)
Actually!
He doesn’t care about winning or losing!
Because his mind has already been filled by the Realm-Breaking Pill that Lin Lang took out—
Just thinking about the breakthrough the Realm-Breaking Pill might bring makes his heart beat faster.
After hesitating for a moment, Elder Zou still mustered the courage to say:
"Lin Xiaoyou, it’s rare to have such an opportunity today, would you be kind enough to visit my place? Let’s have a meal and chat."
As Elder Zou spoke, he secretly calculated in his mind—
He was well aware of the preciousness of the Realm-Breaking Pill, so he really didn’t have the face to directly ask Lin Lang for it.
Moreover, for the moment, he truly couldn’t bring out anything to exchange that matched the value of the Realm-Breaking Pill.
But he was determined!
As long as Lin Lang was willing to go to his place, no matter what Lin Lang wanted, even if it was his most cherished treasure, he would be willing to give it away without hesitation.
Because, in his view, if he could get the Realm-Breaking Pill, there would be hope of entering the Realm of the Martial Arts Legend!
Everything else seemed not so important.
...
As the martial arts conference came to an end, the crowd at the scene gradually dispersed, and the lively atmosphere slowly cooled down.
The chubby man with glasses on the judges’ seat looked sullen at this moment.
His gaze quickly searched through the crowd and finally locked onto Fang Yao.
Since being defeated by Lin Lang, Fang Yao looked like he’d lost his soul, standing in the corner, dejected.
His eyes were full of frustration and unwillingness.
Obviously!
This failure left a deep psychological shadow on him!
As if a chasm that was impossible to cross lay within his heart.
The chubby man strode over to Fang Yao, his face showing more anger, and mercilessly reprimanded Fang Yao:
"Look at you now! Weren’t you quite arrogant usually? How can you be so useless at critical moments! Knocked down by an internet celebrity, you’ve completely embarrassed me!"
"Sorry, Uncle!"
Fang Yao hung his head, not daring to breathe heavily, and could only silently endure the chubby man’s scolding.
He knew in his heart that this failure must have deeply disappointed the chubby man.
After scolding Fang Yao, the chubby man’s gaze swept to the side towards the little sycophant, Wang Dahai and others, snorting coldly:
"You guys are no good either! Usually just know how to stir things up, but can’t help at critical times! From today on, all of you shut yourselves away for a few months and reflect well!"
The little sycophant and the others turned pale with fright, quickly nodding in agreement, knowing they had really got themselves into trouble this time.
...
After being punished by the chubby man, the little sycophant was filled with unwillingness and despair.
He clearly realized—
He had neither extraordinary talent nor a powerful background!
If he continued like this in confusion, let alone defeating Lin Lang, in this world full of strong people, he would always be just an insignificant character!
After a period of painful reflection!
The little sycophant finally made a bold decision—
I want to join the cultivators!
He felt that only then could he gain stronger power and have a chance to wash away the shame!
Thus!
He aggressively found Lin Lang, making harsh statements:
"Lin Lang, this time you won! But don’t be arrogant!"
"I’m here to say goodbye, I’m going to join the cultivators!"
"Take care of Xina for me, be gentle with her, and eventually, I will win her back!"
"Then! I will also make you pay for what you’ve done today!"
...
Lin Lang was talking with Elder Zou and others, upon hearing the little sycophant’s words, just glanced at him indifferently, with a slight disdainful smile on his lips.
In Lin Lang’s view, the little sycophant was just a clown dancing around, he didn’t bother taking the harsh words to heart.
Lin Lang waved his hand, as if shooing away an insignificant fly, and said:
"Alright, don’t waste time here, just leave."
Finished speaking, he ignored the little sycophant and continued doing his own thing.
Seeing Lin Lang’s indifferent demeanor, the little sycophant’s anger burned even more fiercely!
But he knew he was no match for Lin Lang at this moment!
Could only bite his lip, turn around, and leave.
He secretly vowed that after obtaining powerful strength from the cultivators, he would definitely come back and settle things with Lin Lang!
...
After finishing matters with Elder Zou, Lin Lang went searching for Ji Qianlan.
Before long!
He found Ji Qianlan concentrating on sword practice in the corner of the training ground.
Lin Lang approached and gently patted her shoulder.
Ji Qianlan turned around, seeing it was Lin Lang, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes:
"Instructor Lin, you were looking for me?"
Lin Lang smiled and nodded, lightly touched her sword with his finger, then said to her:
"I’ve enchanted your sword with the Law of Darkness, from now on, the shadows of those you kill with this sword will be absorbed into the sword, compounding power, increasing the strength of your Shadow Slash ability."
Ji Qianlan took the sword, carefully examined it, eyes filled with joy and curiosity.
She lightly swung it, seemingly feeling a mysterious and powerful force contained within the blade.
Immediately!
Lin Lang also took out a bunch of elixirs and Superpower Fruits, handed them to Ji Qianlan, and said:
"These are for you too, they’ll help increase your strength."
Ji Qianlan looked at the heap of precious items before her, somewhat overwhelmed, hurriedly said:
"Instructor, these are too valuable, I..."
Lin Lang interrupted her:
"Take them, they’re useful to you. Also, remember to come see me tomorrow."
