Hundredfold Return, Breakthrough to Yuan Realm Middle Stage!

Chapter 39: Hundredfold Return, Breakthrough to Yuan Realm Middle Stage! (Second update!)

"Yes, that attitude—that's what a genius of our Lin Family should have." Lin Tianci nodded in satisfaction.

With his encouragement, Lin Dong would probably work twice as hard on the eve of the hunt.

"Brother Tianci, compared to you, how could I count as any kind of genius?" Lin Dong felt a little embarrassed by Lin Tianci's words.

Not long ago, he and Lin Tianci had both been at the Body Tempering Fourth Layer. Ever since that Fist Technique Mini-Test, Lin Tianci had seemed like an entirely different person.

No matter how he cultivated, let alone surpassing Lin Tianci, he could not even stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

And now, Lin Tianci's strength had far surpassed his own. Even when he threw a punch with all his might, Brother Tianci could catch it effortlessly without even needing to exert himself.

That terrifying gap only made Lin Dong, who possessed the Stone Talisman, work even harder.

I have the Stone Talisman, yet I still can't surpass Brother Tianci. My efforts must not be enough!

Thinking this, Lin Dong sat cross-legged and diligently adjusted his condition.

Once he had finished regulating his breath, the two resumed their training—one willing to strike, the other willing to take the hits.

It was not that Lin Dong enjoyed abusing himself.

Rather, Lin Tianci's True Qi contained the Power of Chaos.

Though this Power of Chaos was incomparably powerful, if Lin Tianci controlled its force and intensity properly, it could also benefit others to a certain extent.

In this state, the special training continued for an entire day.

Until the sky gradually darkened.

Lin Dong's body was covered in wounds of all sizes. His clothes were tattered beyond recognition, coated in dust and mud, as though he had fallen into a mud pit.

Such injuries were unavoidable.

After all, bumps and bruises were bound to happen. No matter how carefully Lin Tianci controlled his strength, he would still cause Lin Dong some harm.

After Lin Dong finished regulating his breath once more, Lin Tianci shook his head.

"Let's stop here for today."

He could sense that Lin Dong was utterly exhausted mentally. If they continued, it might damage Lin Dong's foundation, which would defeat the purpose.

"Mm." Lin Dong nodded excitedly, then followed Lin Tianci home.

After a full day of special training under Lin Tianci, Lin Dong felt that the foundation of his Body Tempering Eighth Layer had become completely stable.

"Lin Dong, after all this, don't you feel even the slightest urge to break through?" Lin Tianci asked in puzzlement as they walked.

That should not have been the case. With his Power of Chaos assisting him, coupled with Lin Dong's own talent, breaking through in the Body Tempering Stage should have been easy.

Lin Dong did not think much of it. He merely smiled and shook his head. "Brother Tianci, do you think everyone's talent is as freakish as yours? Breaking through realms as easily as eating and drinking?"

"Besides, I only just broke through to the Body Tempering Eighth Layer. If today's cultivation helped stabilize my foundation, that's already quite good."

Only then did Lin Tianci realize it.

Special training alone was not enough for cultivation; all kinds of Spirit Medicine were needed as well.

Lin Tianci immediately took out two stalks of Third-Grade Spirit Medicine and handed them to Lin Dong.

Lin Zhentian had sent all this Spirit Medicine over during the past few days.

But Lin Tianci had no need for it, so he had saved it up.

"Eat as much as you want, Lin Dong. Try to break through as soon as possible." Meeting Lin Dong's stunned gaze, Lin Tianci said, "Ge has plenty more. When you're done, just ask ge for more."

Lin Dong had initially been too embarrassed to accept them, but when he thought of his current strength, he took them anyway.

"Thank you, Brother Tianci. During this hunt, I definitely won't disappoint you!" Lin Dong clasped his fists toward Lin Tianci.

"It's nothing. Hurry back and cultivate. Don't waste even a minute." After giving Lin Dong the Spirit Medicine, Lin Tianci accompanied him home.

At Lin Dong's home, only Qing Tan was there at the moment.

Lin Xiao and Liu Yan were busy with family affairs and only returned once every few days.

After greeting Qing Tan, Lin Dong headed straight to his room.

"Brother Tianci, you're here!" Qing Tan's eyes lit up in delight when she saw Lin Tianci.

She hurriedly poured him some tea.

Lin Tianci did not follow Lin Dong into his room.

He knew that Lin Dong must be impatiently using the Stone Talisman to refine the Third-Grade Spirit Medicine into pills to consume.

Lin Tianci sat down, chatting with Qing Tan while keeping an ear on the activity in Lin Dong's room.

Less than an hour later, Lin Tianci suddenly sensed Lin Dong's aura surge sharply within the room.

A smile appeared on Lin Tianci's lips. The next second, just as Lin Tianci had expected—

the system's pleasant voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Detected that Child of the Plane Lin Dong's cultivation has improved. Host has received a hundredfold cultivation return!"

The next moment, an immense and incomparably pure energy surged into Lin Tianci's Dantian.

"Yuan Realm Middle Stage!" In an instant, Lin Tianci felt his realm break through!

The Hundredfold Return had actually propelled him straight into the Yuan Realm Middle Stage.

Before Lin Tianci could rejoice, he suddenly discovered—

the Chaos Ancestor Stone within his body had undergone another change!

A somewhat immense Power of Chaos surged forth from the Chaos Ancestor Stone.

Lin Tianci's expression changed. Without bothering to speak to Qing Tan, he immediately entered a cultivation state and absorbed this Power of Chaos!

At once, Lin Tianci's physical body underwent another tremendous surge, drawing close to perfection!

The current Lin Tianci could rightly be called a Humanoid Demonic Beast!

Opening his eyes, Lin Tianci was in excellent spirits.

Amid Qing Tan's cry of surprise, Lin Tianci scooped her up in a princess carry and brought her outside.

Several Training Stones were placed in the courtyard.

These Training Stones were rather dark in color. They were used by adults like Lin Xiao who had reached the Sky Realm, and were several times sturdier than the ones Lin Tianci usually used.

Before Qing Tan's utterly astonished gaze, Lin Tianci threw a fierce punch!

Crack!

The sturdy Training Stone actually split apart at that moment, shattering into pieces.

"My punch now carries a force of Two Hundred Thousand Jin!" Lin Tianci was greatly satisfied.

Qing Tan's eyes widened.

Dad could barely leave a dent in this Training Stone even when he used all his strength, yet Brother Tianci had shattered it so easily?

Just as Lin Tianci was putting Lin Dong through special training,

rumors in Qingyang Town gradually began to multiply.

Their source was naturally the time at the Marketplace when Lin Tianci had effortlessly crippled several juniors from the Xie Family.

Lin Tianci's several displays of strength became a favorite topic of conversation after meals, leaving countless people dumbfounded.

But everyone knew that Lin Tianci's current prominence was only temporary.

The Lei Family and Xie Family had suffered such a huge loss. They would certainly repay it.
