Four-Seal Talisman Master!

"Tower Competition?"

Hearing Lin Ke'er's words, Lin Langtian froze for a moment before a flash of understanding crossed his eyes.

Speaking of the Tower Competition, one had to mention the Symbol Master Association.

As its name implied, the Symbol Master Association was an organization that gathered Symbol Masters. Every somewhat larger city had its own Symbol Master Association, and Lin City was naturally no exception.

Moreover, since Lin City was the headquarters of the Lin Clan, the Lin City Symbol Master Association was largely made up of Lin Clan members. Its president was even an elder of real authority within the Lin Clan.

Thus, although the Symbol Master Association usually kept a low profile, it was still a faction within the Lin Clan that could not be underestimated.

The Tower Competition was related to the Symbol Master Association's Symbol Master Tower.

A Symbol Master Tower was a peculiar tower formed from the Mental Power of countless Symbol Master predecessors. It possessed miraculous effects for tempering and cleansing one's mind.

The Lin City Symbol Master Association also had a Symbol Master Tower. It was the result of several centuries of effort by the association's many predecessors.

Across the Great Yan Dynasty, however, only one city out of ten possessed a Symbol Master Tower.

A Symbol Master Tower had an extremely powerful cohesive effect on a city's Symbol Masters. It was akin to a sacred ground in the hearts of many Symbol Masters, and every city's Symbol Master Association would stop at nothing to obtain one.

Yet, a Symbol Master Tower not only required powerful Symbol Masters, but also needed to be built continuously by generations of predecessors, making it exceptionally rare.

Thus, some upstart cities began entertaining crooked thoughts of forcibly seizing Symbol Master Towers.

Naturally, such actions were not permitted by the Imperial Clan. Therefore, with the Imperial Clan's intervention, an unwritten rule emerged: the Tower Competition!

This was a clash between Symbol Masters from two cities. More precisely, it was a clash between the younger generation of Symbol Masters, and the prize for victory was the Symbol Master Tower.

At this thought, Lin Langtian suddenly recalled something. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "I remember that Lin City's Symbol Master Tower seemed to have been lost to another city several years ago, didn't it?"

Hearing this, Lin Ke'er revealed a bitter smile as well. "Brother Langtian remembers correctly. Lin City's Symbol Master Tower was indeed lost to another city several years ago, and that city was Huangpu City of the Huangpu Family!"

"The Huangpu Family..."

At the mention of this family, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. Come to think of it, he still had a score to settle with Huangpu Ying!

"Although Lin City lost its Symbol Master Tower to Huangpu City several years ago, the competitions over the past two years have both been won by the Lin City Symbol Master Association. As long as we win one more match, the Symbol Master Tower can return to Lin City." Lin Xue spoke from the side.

"Oh? The Lin City Symbol Master Association has won for the past two years?" Lin Langtian raised a brow.

According to the rules of the Tower Competition, the challenger had to win three consecutive yearly battles to claim the Symbol Master Tower. Lin City had unexpectedly won two in a row already.

Lin Langtian remembered that Yan City, where Lin Dong was, seemed to be about to begin its own Tower Competition as well. However, compared to the defending Yan City Symbol Master Association, which had lost for two consecutive years, the Lin City Symbol Master Association where Lin Langtian was was the challenger that had won for two consecutive years.

This curious coincidence made him sigh inwardly.

"Although we've won for two consecutive years, I heard that the Huangpu Family has become rather anxious. Over the past few months, they've invited quite a few young genius Symbol Masters. I only hope the Lin City Symbol Master Association can maintain its winning streak this year." Lin Ke'er said hopefully.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian stroked his chin, and the thought of representing the Lin City Symbol Master Association in the Tower Competition arose in his heart.

First, he could take a small measure of revenge against the Huangpu Family. Second, the Symbol Master Tower also possessed marvelous effects for tempering and cleansing the mind.

Lin Langtian could sense that as his Mental Power continued to grow, the Mental Power sealed within the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was nearly exhausted.

By Lin Langtian's estimation, the remaining Mental Power in the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm could at most support him until he broke through to become a Four-Seal Talisman Master before vanishing completely.

In the original timeline, Lin Dong had used Yan City's Symbol Master Tower to break through from the Second Seal to the Third Seal. Lin City's Symbol Master Tower far surpassed Yan City's in scale, so Lin Langtian could use it to break through to the Spirit Talisman Master realm in one stroke!

Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian chatted with Lin Ke'er for a few more moments before seeing the two girls out of the room under Lin Xue's reluctant gaze.

Once he was alone in the room again, Lin Langtian removed his shoes and socks, then sat cross-legged on the bed.

After adjusting his condition, Lin Langtian sank his consciousness into his Mud Pill Palace.

The Mud Pill Palace was now almost overflowing with immense Mental Power. The three Spirit Talisman Vortices spun tirelessly, while streams of pure Mental Power flowed from the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm and poured into the vortices.

Before the Tower Competition, Lin Langtian intended to break through to become a Four-Seal Talisman Master in one go!

Although Lin Langtian was highly confident in his own talent, his current situation was that while his Yuan Power cultivation was enough to make him practically invincible among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty, he held no great advantage in Mental Power.

Lin Langtian even knew that some outstanding young Symbol Masters in the Great Yan Dynasty had already reached the Spirit Talisman Master realm.

Therefore, only by breaking through to the Four-Seal Talisman Master realm would Lin Langtian have a chance to gain some advantage in the Tower Competition, a contest that belonged to Symbol Masters!

Lin Langtian was confident in this. Although he had not focused on cultivating his Mental Power during this period, under the Black Vortex Spirit Talisman's special effects, the three Spirit Talisman Vortices had continuously devoured the Mental Power sealed within the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm.

Thus, Lin Langtian was now merely separated from becoming a Four-Seal Talisman Master by a thin sheet of paper.

All Lin Langtian had to do now was pierce through that sheet of paper and truly step into the Four-Seal Talisman Master realm!

Thus, for the time that followed, Lin Langtian sat like an old monk in meditation, his eyes tightly shut.

Meanwhile, within the Mud Pill Palace, the Spirit Talisman Vortices tirelessly devoured the ceaseless stream of Mental Power delivered from the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm.

Time slowly passed. After an unknown amount of time had gone by, just as the Mental Power within the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was about to be exhausted, a tremendous change suddenly occurred within the Mud Pill Palace!

"Buzz buzz!"

Within the Mud Pill Palace, the Spirit Talisman Vortices that had gradually fused together rapidly twisted. Moments later, they transformed into an enigmatic glowing talisman.

Two cracks appeared on the glowing talisman. The cracks then widened further before finally shattering apart, turning into four smaller Spirit Talismans that floated within the Mud Pill Palace!

Boom!

The instant the four Natal Spirit Talismans appeared, a Mental Power storm seemed to erupt within Lin Langtian's Mud Pill Palace. Vast waves spread outward from the Mud Pill Palace, eventually permeating every corner of Lin Langtian's body!

The muscles and bones throughout Lin Langtian's body trembled. His tightly shut eyes suddenly flew open, shooting out a wave of Mental Power that seemed almost tangible.

A piercing howl, carrying tyrannical Mental Power, erupted like a volcano!

"Four-Seal Talisman Master!"
