Tool User Feedback, Sixth-Grade Martial Art, Heavenly Opening Seal!

The instant Lin Dong obtained that copy of the Mystic Gate Seal.

Lin Tianci received the feedback.

"Detected that Child of Destiny Lin Dong has obtained the Third-Grade Cultivation Technique, Mystic Gate Seal Remnant. Congratulations to the Host for receiving a Hundredfold Rebate: Sixth-Grade Martial Art, Heavenly Opening Seal!"

"Not bad, not bad." Lin Tianci was greatly pleased.

Sure enough, steadily cultivating and seeking opportunities on his own was completely unreliable. How could it possibly be faster than mooching off Lin Dong?

Hadn't he just obtained a Sixth-Grade Martial Art directly?

There probably wasn't even a single Sixth-Grade Martial Art in all of Qingyang Town!

The moment he obtained the Heavenly Opening Seal, Lin Tianci briefly examined it in his mind.

This Heavenly Opening Seal was divided into Three Forms, each one stronger than the last.

When all three forms were stacked together, its power could even rival some Seventh-Grade Martial Arts!

"Not bad. This is the one!" Lin Tianci was in high spirits.

As Lin Xia and the others passed by Lin Tianci, they could clearly sense his excitement.

Lin Xia glanced at the Second-Grade Movement Martial Art in Lin Tianci's hand, Phantom Steps.

She could not help feeling somewhat puzzled.

With Brother Tianci's current strength and martial arts talent, a mere Second Grade Cultivation Technique did not seem worth getting so happy about.

"Brother, why are you smiling so happily?" Lin Xia naturally asked.

"It's nothing. I just think this Movement Martial Art is quite good." Lin Tianci shook his head and casually closed Phantom Steps before asking, "Have you all finished choosing?"

The other three nodded. Each of them held a Third-Grade Martial Art in their hands.

"Then let's go. It's getting late." Lin Tianci took the lead and headed out of the Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Dong and Lin Xia followed close behind.

As for Lin Hong, he stared thoughtfully at Lin Tianci's back and muttered,

"For Brother Tianci to be this happy, that copy of Phantom Steps must not be so simple."

Lin Hong decided that after Lin Tianci returned Phantom Steps, he would find an excuse to visit the Martial Arts Hall again and borrow it to study!

Outside the Martial Arts Hall.

When the four of them emerged, Lin Zhentian was already waiting outside.

Lin Zhentian swept his gaze over the martial arts manuals in their hands, an unsurprised expression appearing on his face.

Only the martial art Lin Tianci had chosen left him somewhat taken aback.

However, Lin Zhentian did not ask anything.

He now trusted Lin Tianci beyond measure. He believed that Lin Tianci must have his reasons for doing this.

"This Clan Competition is over, but you must not slack off. The year-end is approaching, and before long, it will be time for the hunt."

Lin Zhentian said, "Speaking of the hunt, it is no longer merely an internal competition for our Lin Family. It is an event for all of Qingyang Town. Basically, every influential force in Qingyang Town will send out their talented and capable juniors for training. Naturally, you will represent the Lin Family, so do not disgrace the Lin Family."

Lin Zhentian's expression was somewhat stern. Clearly, he placed great importance on Qingyang Town's hunt.

"If you achieve good results in the hunt and become famous throughout Qingyang Town, it will be quite easy."

As Lin Zhentian's words fell, fiery expressions appeared on Lin Dong and the others' faces.

After all, they were only teenagers, full of youthful vigor, and naturally enthusiastic about becoming famous.

How could they possibly remain calm after hearing that?

Lin Tianci and the others naturally knew about Qingyang Town's Triennial Trial. It could be said to be the liveliest day Qingyang Town saw every three years.

Even people from outside Qingyang Town would come to join in the excitement.

And speaking of the hunt, one had to mention Qingyang Town's other major forces.

They were the Lei Family, the Xie Family, and the Savage Blade Martial Hall.

The Lei Family and Xie Family were local powers in Qingyang Town. They had developed there for a century, so their foundations went without saying. In terms of connections, they also surpassed the Lin Family and the Savage Blade Martial Hall by quite a bit.

The Savage Blade Martial Hall, meanwhile, was like the Lin Family, an outside force. It had been established for just over a decade, yet it had risen rapidly, crushing many family forces along the way and becoming Qingyang Town's undisputed third-ranked power.

The Lin Family followed closely behind in fourth place.

Qingyang Town's hunt was jointly organized by the top-ranked families, both to give their younger generation a chance to train and to show off the strength of their juniors.

Whichever family could stand out in the hunt would naturally gain prestige, and its reputation would rise as well.

Therefore, every family took the hunt very seriously.

"The Lei Family and Xie Family, being local families, are quite exclusionary. Moreover, Lei Li of the Lei Family and Xie Yingying of the Xie Family are engaged. In this hunt, the Lei Family will most likely join forces with the Xie Family to deal with our Lin Family."

Lin Zhentian continued analyzing the situation for Lin Tianci and the others.

"When the time comes, you may join forces with the Savage Blade Martial Hall to resist the Lei and Xie Families.

A few days ago, I received word that Lei Li, the most famous among the Lei Family juniors, has already reached the peak of the Body Tempering Ninth Layer and is preparing to break through into the Yuan Realm. By the time the hunt begins, the Lei Li you face may be in the Yuan Realm."

Lin Zhentian's words caused Lin Dong and the others' breathing to falter, and the pressure on them multiplied.

The Yuan Realm and the Body Tempering Stage were as different as heaven and earth, with an enormous gap in strength.

It was no exaggeration to say that ten Body Tempering Ninth Layer experts might not be able to defeat a single Yuan Realm cultivator!

If Lei Li truly advanced to the Yuan Realm, there would practically be no need to compete in this hunt. Lei Li could simply claim First Place in advance.

Lin Tianci, however, did not care. Though he was only at the Half-step Yuan Realm, the quality of his cultivation could not be measured by cultivation alone.

Besides, Lin Tianci's Body Tempering Stage was not the Ninth Layer, but the Twelfth Layer!

Even if Lei Li entered the Yuan Realm, Lin Tianci could handle him with a single slap.

Seeing the wary looks return to their eyes, Lin Zhentian finally nodded in satisfaction. After offering a few words of encouragement, he dismissed them all.

After returning home, Lin Tianci did not continue cultivating. Instead, he went straight to bed and slept.

He planned to replenish his energy, then head to the Back Mountain tomorrow to practice the Heavenly Opening Seal he had obtained today!

The next day, Lin Tianci got up early. After casually eating a few bites of breakfast, he headed to his usual training spot in the Back Mountain.

As for the Second-Grade Martial Art, Phantom Steps, Lin Tianci had already learned it along the way.

As a result, his speed had also increased considerably.

However, just as he arrived at the Back Mountain and assumed his stance, Qing Tan's voice sounded behind Lin Tianci.

"Brother Tianci!"
