You Insult Me
"Boom!!!"
The Creation Martial Tablet, which had just fallen silent, suddenly began to tremble violently. Indescribable, terrifying suction forces surged out from within the ancient stele, pulling in all the energy within a radius of a thousand feet.
"Splash! Splash!"
A monstrous torrent of energy surged in from all directions, instantly shattering the martial arts phenomenon that Lin Langtian had just summoned into countless holes, and crushing vast swathes of mountains and rivers into nothingness.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lin Langtian, who had just been enjoying the spotlight, suddenly changed his expression and subconsciously turned to look at the thin figure sitting in the Chief Seat.
Was all of this the work of that guy?
Unfortunately, no one could provide Lin Langtian with this answer.
"Buzz!"
Streams of energy gathered above the Creation Martial Tablet, then were compressed by an invisible force into a tangible beam of energy that was hurled down toward the only figure on the stone platform who had not yet awakened.
"This is... Lin Dong, is he breaking through in the heat of battle?"
"He is using the Creation Martial Tablet, a Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure, to draw energy from heaven and earth and forcefully break through by channeling it into himself. However, it is said that Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure possess self-awareness. How exactly did Lin Dong find and communicate with the Tablet Spirit?"
"What grade of martial arts did he acquire? Why didn't he exhibit any martial arts phenomena like the previous nine? Or did he simply not obtain a Martial Arts Techniques at all?"
"Nonsense..."
Those with keen eyes had already seen through Lin Dong's plan.
As for why Lin Dong didn't reveal his martial arts prowess?
He had just stolen a Spirit Martial Arts. If the strange phenomena of the Spirit Martial Arts were recognized by the people present, he would probably be attacked by the crazed crowd.
Spirit Martial Arts are advanced martial arts that only high-level Nirvana Stage expert, or even those who have stepped into the Life and Death Mysterious Stage, have the opportunity to access. There is not a single one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
No, one could even say that the Great Yan Dynasty didn't even have a single Upper-grade Creation Stage Martial Art; it was merely a weak and Low-Level Dynasty.
If the news gets out, given his current strength at the Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment, encountering Nirvana Stage expert from a dynasty would likely mean he would never have a peaceful day.
Even if he was very confident in his abilities, he wouldn't be so stubborn as to directly use the Ancestral Stone to block out the martial arts anomalies.
"Hehe, kid, you've got some nerve. You were just kicked out of the Creation Martial Tablet, and you're already using it to draw energy for your breakthrough."
"What is face skin? Can you eat it? How much does it cost per pound?" A three-part question about manners.
"... I was wondering what kind of Spirit Martial Arts art that you just grabbed casually before was? You really got incredibly lucky, you actually managed to get two high-level martial arts techniques."
"We'll talk about that later. I need to focus on achieving my small goal for today: leveling up!"
The brief exchange was fleeting.
"Boom!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the slender figure who had been sitting Stasis on the futon like a statue straightened up proudly, and his long-suppressed aura suddenly erupted like a dormant volcano.
At the same time, a towering pillar of energy began to completely envelop Lin Dong.
An extremely pure torrent of Origin Energy poured into his body like a tidal wave. With the help of this seemingly inexhaustible Great Master, Lin Dong's cultivation level also rose steadily.
Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment, Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment Peak, Creation Stage Great Accomplishment, Peak of Creation Stage Great Accomplishment, Pinnacle of the Creation Stage...
Just as his cultivation was about to reach the Creation Stage Peak, Lin Dong himself used great willpower to pull back the foot that had already taken halfway, forcibly suppressing his cultivation from the Creation Stage Peak back to the level of the initial stage of the Creation Stage Great Accomplishment.
Although Lin Dong has always preferred to accumulate strength before unleashing it, advancing directly to the Creation Stage Peak less than a month after reaching the Lesser Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment would inevitably lead to an unstable foundation, so he still needs to hold back a bit.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Under Lin Dong's deliberate control, the raging torrent of Origin Energy began to slowly recede, and the violently shaking, dim sky brightened. Only a slender figure stood proudly in mid-air, emanating an extremely terrifying pressure.
A master of the Creation Stage Great Accomplishment!
"Hiss, the Creation Stage Great Accomplishment. Lin Dong is truly terrifying. He has already reached the Creation Stage Great Accomplishment before he is even twenty years old. It is said that even the Patriarch of the Four Great Clans of the dynasty are only at this level. This boy's future is truly limitless."
"Lin Langtian seems to be twenty-six years old this year, right? He has only just stepped into the Half-step Creation Stage. Compared with Lin Dong, he is nothing. The number one genius of the dynasty should be Lin Dong."
A terrifying pressure swept across the entire square, immediately causing a stir among the crowd.
They were just praising Lin Langtian for obtaining the Creation Stage Martial Arts, and immediately turned around to praise Lin Dong's monstrous talent. They were the most ruthless of all.
"Damn it, that little beast Lin Dong! It's all because of him, it's all because of him that I..."
Lin Langtian's handsome face was clouded with gloom. He lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms without him even realizing it.
Where is that carefree and elegant demeanor from before!
The elder of the Lin Clan who had previously slandered Lin Dong opened his mouth even wider after witnessing this magnificent phenomenon.
"After returning to the clan, I must personally report this matter to the Great Elder, no, to the Patriarch Chief. My Lin Clan has produced an unparalleled genius, and we must do everything in our power to keep him in the clan."
The White-Haired Old Man leading the group sighed inwardly.
Having completed his breakthrough, Lin Dong returned to calm. Under the gazes of many filled with awe and fear, he calmly stepped down from the sky.
"Kid, I think the Creation Martial Tablet is a pretty good Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure. Why don't you try using that Stone Talisman to see if you can take it away? If you can, wouldn't you be rich? All those Creation Stage Martial Arts and Spirit Martial Arts from the Great Desolate Sect would be yours."
A familiar voice rang in Lin Dong's ears.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's lips twitched involuntarily. This Little Marten really dared to think that way.
Beneath the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet, there is still a Nine King Palace of Demonic Prison being suppressed. This is True Demon King who has survived Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation. Even the Azure Dragon King Qing Zhi in his prime might not be able to defeat him.
The Creation Martial Tablet, a Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure, is very likely an energy node used by the Elder Black Pupil to seal the Ninth King Palace Formation. No one knows if this possibility is true.
If it were taken away, and the Ninth King Palace were accidentally released, everyone here, no, even the entire Great Yan Dynasty, would be wiped out in an instant.
The story thus came to an early end.
The protagonist dies at the age of eighteen, from a carefree life!
"No, I am a man of principle. This precious treasure belongs to the entire Great Yan Dynasty, not to me personally."
With this thought in mind, Lin Dong answered solemnly.
"You? You have principles? Hehehe..."
After a brief silence, the Little Marten burst into loud laughter.
Lin Dong immediately flew into a rage. "You insulted me?!"
