Lin Jiang’s hands trembled as he accepted the martial arts manual from Elder So Un, but his eyes sparkled as if he had just received a brand-new toy.“You still have four more moons before you leave for Su City, so spend that time learning the unarmed techniques, Lin Jiang,” Elder So Un said.“Yes, Master!”“In that manual, you will find the unarmed techniques you need. Fist techniques, palm techniques, and even claw techniques! I guarantee you’ll love the techniques in that manual!” Elder So Un added.“Thank you, Master!”Lin Jiang stored the Heaven-Shaking Fire Fist Manual inside his spatial ring.“Your master certainly won’t let you leave without giving you something either!” Elder Shun said.He took out another martial arts manual and handed it to Lin Jiang—a manual that might prove useful to him in the future.“That manual may not be very useful to you most of the time, Lin Jiang, but I’m certain it will be useful when the time comes,” Elder Shun said.It was a manual containing

One moon before leaving the forest, Lin Jiang decided to gather medicinal plants and spend some time studying the art of medicine from the Thousand Medicines Manual.Besides that, Lin Jiang also thought about finding a way to improve the quality of his bones without having to endure the pain.“Every breakthrough to a higher level really does come with pain,” Lin Jiang muttered after failing to find a way to eliminate the pain he experienced when strengthening his abilities.By now, Lin Jiang’s spatial ring was filled with medicinal plants, demon essences, and an enormous amount of gold coins.At the age of fourteen, Lin Jiang was practically a prince possessing such vast wealth that even seven generations of his descendants would not be able to spend it all.That night, Lin Jiang sat in contemplation. He looked at the full moon shining brightly in the sky, which meant that tomorrow he would head south.Su City was Lin Jiang’s destination, and there he would finally end the training he

Elder Phi An's face immediately brightened when he learned that Lin Jiang had finally arrived at the Golden Dragon Sect, but his happiness lasted only for a moment.“You're too late, Lin Jiang,” Elder Phi An said.“Too late? Why, Elder?” Lin Jiang asked.“The drawing of the tournament numbers has already finished. There's no way you can fight in the arena now,” Elder Phi An replied with a dejected expression.Even so, Elder Phi An was still excited simply because Lin Jiang had finally arrived.“I'm sorry, Master,” Lin Jiang said apologetically.Lin Jiang did not tell him that he had already received his tournament number. He wanted to make it a surprise for his master.“Hahaha, it's all right, my disciple. The fact that you came is already enough to make your master happy!” Elder Phi An said.“Who are the representatives from our sect, Master?” Lin Jiang asked.“We are!” a voice suddenly answered.It was Kun Liong's voice. He came out together with his lover, Mi Li.“Greetings, Senior

Inside the room at the Golden Dragon Sect, Lin Jiang sat comfortably, completely unconcerned about what he had just done.To him, it was nothing unusual. He had not even considered the consequences of what he had done in the arena.“What was wrong with what I did? Why was Master so angry with me?” Lin Jiang wondered aloud.“Because it could put your life in danger, Lin Jiang!” a voice answered.“Uncle An Chi!” Lin Jiang exclaimed as he stood up.Without being asked, Elder An Chi explained to Lin Jiang why Elder Phi An had been angry with him.Lin Jiang could only fall silent and glance toward his master.“That is why your master was angry with you. What you did in the arena could put you in danger, my disciple!” Elder Phi An said.“I'm sorry for my foolishness, Master!”“Enough. What happened has already happened. From today onward, you are not allowed to be alone anymore, Lin Jiang!”“Yes, Master! I understand!”After that, the three of them sat together inside the room, seemingly re

San Su, Lin Jiang's opponent, carefully observed Lin Jiang's every movement. He hesitated to make the first move.San Su still remembered how easily Lin Jiang had defeated his opponent in the first round, and he didn't want to suffer the same fate."What's wrong with you? Why aren't you attacking?" Lin Jiang asked, deliberately trying to mess with his opponent's mind."Why don't you attack first?""So that's what you want? Fine! I'll grant your wish!" Lin Jiang said."Hiyaaaaa!"Lin Jiang shouted loudly and launched the first attack, deliberately holding back most of his internal energy.He leaped into the air and used his Lightness Skill, directing a kick toward San Su."Baammm!"San Su raised both arms to block Lin Jiang's kick. But Lin Jiang wasn't finished yet. He twisted his body and unleashed another powerful kick straight toward San Su.The kick sent San Su stumbling backward, nearly causing him to fall from the arena. If he had fallen, he would have been eliminated from the to
