Silver Blood Achieved, Heavenly Yuan Slain with a Fist

After dealing with Lin Mang, Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Fan kindly and said with a smile, "Lin Fan, you performed exceptionally well today. With your strength, you are fully qualified to take first place in the Clan Competition.

Originally, the reward for this competition was two Third Grade Spiritual Medicines. But since you have now reached the Earthly Yuan Realm, it will be changed to two Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines. In addition, you may browse any of the family's martial arts.

Other than that, if you have any further requests, feel free to tell Grandpa. Grandpa will do his best to satisfy them."

Lin Fan's grandfather and Lin Zhentian were clan cousins, so by seniority, Lin Fan truly should call Lin Zhentian Grandpa.

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Lin Fan rose to his feet and thanked him calmly.

He still had two thousand Yang Yuan Pills on him, so he truly did not care much about these rewards.

Lin Zhentian nodded. "Cultivate diligently and strive to make another breakthrough. Then, during this Qingyang Town Hunt, you can display the might of our Lin Family!"

"Yes!"

Lin Fan replied.

Lin Fan did not linger long before leaving.

After he was gone, Lin Mang said with some dissatisfaction, "Father, Lin Fan is only an outsider. Aren't you treating him too favorably? And isn't this punishment of yours a little too severe?"

"Shortsighted fool!"

Lin Zhentian said coldly, "Lin Fan is only seventeen, yet he is already at the Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage Peak. At his age, what was your cultivation?

If I had shielded you today, he would inevitably become estranged from the Lin Family. If he manages to break through to the Essence Core Realm in the future, would he still remain with our Lin Family? That would be a major loss to the Lin Family, and it would also make others mock us."

After a pause, he continued, "As for removing you from your post, it is also to make you reflect properly. Ever since you broke through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, you have become increasingly arrogant and contemptuous of others. If this continues, it will sooner or later bring disaster upon you.

When you have truly reflected and understood your mistakes, I will arrange a position for you again."

Lin Fan walked out of the rear courtyard. Along the way, every member of the Lin Family he encountered treated him with great courtesy; the contempt they had once shown him was gone.

That was human nature.

Especially in a world where strength reigned supreme, only those with formidable power could earn the respect of others.

Before long, Lin Fan returned home.

He took out the spiritual medicines he had obtained, set up a Spirit Stealing Array, and began cultivating.

This time, Lin Fan was still cultivating his physical body. At his current stage, that was all he could cultivate.

As for why he was cultivating so urgently, it was naturally because his strength had been exposed.

With his current strength, he could handle someone at the Heavenly Yuan Realm Initial Stage. But if someone at the Heavenly Yuan Realm Late Stage made a move, he would undoubtedly be finished.

Time slowly passed, and the marrow within Lin Fan's body finally began to change.

When new blood was produced, it was no longer purely crimson. Traces of silver were mixed within it.

As the amount of silver blood increased, Lin Fan felt his blood becoming increasingly viscous, carrying a heavy sensation.

Shortly afterward, Lin Fan opened his eyes.

He sensed his own condition and thought, To reach the Silver Blood Realm, every drop of blood in my body must be replaced with silver blood. The energy required is simply enormous.

Two Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines had only added a faint trace of silver to his blood.

"Fortunately, I still have the two thousand Yang Yuan Pills left from last time!"

Without delay, Lin Fan took out a batch of Yang Yuan Pills and resumed cultivating.

Although the Yang Yuan Pills contained only yang-attributed energy, and even Yang Hardening Qi, the Void Body Refining Art Lin Fan possessed could refine all energy into whatever he needed.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

As Lin Fan continued refining them, the silver within his blood steadily increased.

When the silver blood flowed through his body, it actually erupted with a sound like a surging river.

Although the Silver Blood level primarily transformed Lin Fan's blood, the rest of his body was also cleansed and strengthened during the process.

If there had been an outsider present, they would have seen Lin Fan's translucent skin, like crystalline jade.

They could even see through his skin to the bones within, white as marble, as well as the blood in his veins glimmering with specks of silver.

"Rumble!"

No one knew how long it lasted, but the blood within Lin Fan's body had completely transformed into silver.

Moreover, this silver blood was extremely condensed. A layer of silver radiance covered its surface, and as it flowed, it resembled rolling mercury.

Lin Fan had now completely cultivated his Silver Blood to perfection.

From then on, his blood was like silver mercury, his vitality greatly increased, and his physical body became even more attuned to the Yuan Power of heaven and earth. Every gesture he made could unleash tremendous strength.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and thought, This cultivation consumed far too many Yang Yuan Pills. It seems I have no choice but to make another trip to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild.

With that thought, Lin Fan stood and headed outside the Lin Family.

After leaving the boundaries of Qingyang Town, Lin Fan suddenly stopped.

Urgent hoofbeats sounded in the distance, and soon, two black horses arrived before him.

Two middle-aged men sat upon those horses.

One of them was broad and muscular, with the back of a tiger and waist of a bear. A seemingly honest smile remained on his face.

The other was exceedingly lean, and his otherwise ordinary face was covered in crisscrossing blade scars.

The instant he saw them, Lin Fan's expression darkened.

Both men were Heavenly Yuan Realm martial artists, and the lean man had even reached the Heavenly Yuan Realm Middle Stage.

Lin Fan demanded, "Who are you?"

The burly man said, "Since you are about to die, there is no harm in telling you. I am the second chief of the Black Dragon Stronghold, Wind Ripper Wu Sha!"

"So you are from the Black Dragon Stronghold."

Lin Fan looked at the lean man. "You must be Yan Kuo, the chief of the Black Dragon Stronghold?"

"Since you know our identities, then die!"

Yan Kuo sneered coldly and ordered Wu Sha, "Wu Sha, kill him for me!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Wu Sha answered. With a tap of his foot against the horse's back, he shot forward. Vigorous Yuan Power erupted from his body as he struck a palm toward Lin Fan.

Though it was merely a probing strike, he had still used his full strength, making it tremendously powerful.

An ordinary Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage martial artist would have only been killed by such an attack.

But Lin Fan was no ordinary Earthly Yuan Realm martial artist. The strength of his physical body alone was already no weaker than that of a Heavenly Yuan Realm martial artist.

"Flood Dragon Transformation!"

Battle intent surged through Lin Fan as he likewise threw a punch at his opponent.

His punch was simple and imposing, carrying an ancient, vast aura, as though an immortal had descended to demonstrate a fist technique.

At the same time, his body followed his fist like a long-dormant flood dragon suddenly soaring into the air, transforming into an azure dragon that roamed the nine heavens, twisting and dancing wildly through the sky!

"Boom!"

As the punch landed, Wu Sha immediately let out a shrill scream. His entire body flew backward before crashing heavily onto the ground.

His chest had completely caved in. His ribs, heart, and everything else had been shattered by Lin Fan's single punch.

Even as a Heavenly Yuan Realm martial artist, he could not help but die on the spot after suffering such devastating injuries.
