Beating Up Lin Dong, You Still Need to Work Hard! (First Update)

Seeing Lin Tianci get stumped, Lin Xia naturally covered her mouth and laughed.

Since everything that needed to be said had already been said, there was no need to say anything more.

"Tianci, you brat, you really do have some of my old flair." Lin Ken wore a gratified smile.

However, before he could finish speaking, a hand grabbed his ear.

"Then you'd better tell me all about your romantic exploits from back then."

That hand naturally belonged to Lin Tianci's mother, Chen Xiu.

"No, no, no. I was just saying it casually, just casually. You can't take it seriously." Lin Ken hurriedly shook his head and begged for mercy.

"Dad, Mom, speaking of which, when I went to the Marketplace today, I bought you some gifts." Seeing this, Lin Tianci quickly took out the things he had bought that afternoon and handed them to his parents.

Never mind whether the gifts were valuable or not—Lin Tianci's thoughtfulness alone made the two of them so happy that they could not stop smiling.

After putting away Lin Tianci's gifts, Lin Ken's expression changed.

Then, he spoke to Lin Tianci solemnly.

"Tianci, although the Xie Family suffered greatly in this afternoon's dispute at the Marketplace, you must not let your guard down."

"That Xie Qian of the Xie Family may always have a smile on his face, but he holds grudges more than anyone.

"You crippled two juniors of the Xie Family. At this point, it is already a fight to the death."

"Mm, I understand, Dad. I definitely won't let my guard down." Lin Tianci hurriedly nodded.

He did not want Lin Ken to worry too much over this matter.

"Qingyang Town's hunt is coming up soon. If my guess is correct, Xie Qian is probably already planning how to deal with you." Lin Ken sighed.

"To be safe, perhaps someone else should take your place in this hunt. Safety comes first."

How could Lin Tianci possibly agree to such a suggestion?

He shook his head repeatedly. "Dad, don't worry. I'll be extra careful from now on, but I have to take part in the hunt. When have I ever fought a battle I wasn't confident in?"

Lin Ken knew that once Lin Tianci made up his mind, it could not be changed. In the end, he nodded and agreed.

After Lin Ken left, Lin Tianci returned to his room alone.

A cold curve formed at the corner of his lips.

"If I don't participate in this hunt, how am I supposed to take Lei Li and Xie Yingying's lives?"

He knew that even without the hunt, Lei Li would definitely find an opportunity to deal with him.

Rather than guarding against the schemes of the Xie Family and Lei Family every day, it would be better to strike first and turn passivity into initiative!

During the hunt, he would directly beat both families until they hurt. Only then could he snuff out their restless ambitions.

"However, the Patriarchs of the Lei and Xie Families are both in the Sky Realm. I heard Lei Bao has already reached the Late Sky Realm and is only one step away from entering the Core Creation Stage. That kind of strength won't be easy to deal with."

Lin Tianci sighed.

He was only in the Yuan Realm. He was confident in facing ordinary Sky Realm cultivators, but if he went directly against an expert at the Peak Sky Realm, the gap was truly too great.

"I can't keep slacking off. I need to improve my strength as much as possible before the hunt. After all, I have to stay alert in case the Lei and Xie Families lose their minds, tear off all pretenses, and send everyone after me."

Lin Tianci lay on his bed, his thoughts running wild.

"Special Training starts tomorrow!" Lin Tianci murmured.

Having firmly made up his mind, Lin Tianci soon fell into a deep sleep beneath the heavy night.

The next day.

Dawn broke. Morning light slowly lifted the curtain, and the Red Sun rose, painting heaven and earth in brilliant colors.

By then, sounds of diligent Lin Family Juniors rising early to cultivate could already be heard throughout the Lin Family estate.

At that moment, Lin Tianci opened his eyes. Unlike usual, he did not linger in bed and immediately got up.

After spending a little time washing up and getting dressed, Lin Tianci left his room.

Although he had decided to begin Special Training today, Lin Tianci did not head for the Lin Family training grounds. Instead, he walked straight toward the Back Mountain.

"Brother Tianci."

"Morning, Brother Tianci."

Along the way, he ran into quite a few Lin Family Juniors, who happily greeted him.

Lin Tianci responded as he continued walking without pause.

Before long, he arrived before a courtyard in the Lin Family's Back Mountain.

Compared with the other residences of the Lin Family, this courtyard looked somewhat dilapidated and out of place.

Lin Xiao's family of four lived here.

"Though it's a little early, given Lin Dong's personality, he should be awake by now." Lin Tianci walked into the courtyard.

That was right. Lin Tianci's so-called Special Training was naturally Special Training for Lin Dong.

After all, he possessed the Return System. The rewards he could gain by helping Lin Dong train would naturally be far greater than cultivating steadily on his own.

Although this would put Lin Dong through quite a bit of trouble, as a tool, he naturally needed the awareness of being a tool.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard,

Lin Tianci saw Lin Dong practicing his punches in the yard.

Lin Tianci immediately grinned. As expected of a tool—he was far too diligent in his cultivation.

Seeing Lin Tianci arrive, Lin Dong was somewhat startled.

"Morning, Lin Dong." Lin Tianci smiled and waved at him.

"Brother Tianci, what brings you here?" Lin Dong stopped punching and looked at Lin Tianci as he spoke.

He truly could not understand why Lin Tianci had come looking for him so early in the morning.

"Mm, Qingyang Town's hunt is coming soon, Lin Dong. You know about that, right?" Lin Tianci asked directly.

"Mm, of course I know." Lin Dong nodded. "I've been preparing for the hunt these past few days as well."

"No, no, no. With your current strength, you're still not strong enough to face Lei Li and Xie Yingying." Lin Tianci said, "How about this? Let me put you through some Special Training. Then, when you face Lei Li and Xie Yingying, you won't lose your composure."

Lin Tianci's explanation was logical and well-supported. Although Lin Dong was still somewhat suspicious, he eventually nodded in agreement, thinking there seemed to be no reason for Lin Tianci to harm him.

Afterward, the two of them went to the Back Mountain.

Lin Tianci promptly gave Lin Dong a thorough beating.

Of course, he did not truly use much force. It would not be good if he damaged Lin Dong's confidence.

Thus, he kept his strength within a very appropriate range.

"Lin Dong, if this is all the strength you have, then it's nowhere near enough." After a long while, Lin Tianci sighed and spoke earnestly to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong struggled to crawl up from the ground and spat out the dirt in his mouth.

Though he had repeatedly gone through the cycle of getting up and being knocked down during this time,

Lin Dong's gaze only grew more resolute.

"Brother Tianci, I understand the gap between us now. I'll definitely work even harder!"
