Crazy Breakthrough, Body Like a Dragon!

"Steel that is too rigid is easily broken. If you ask me, that kid from the Lin Family is still too immature. The Xie Family Juniors aren't so easy to bully."

In a tavern, several drunkards were loudly discussing the major events that had recently taken place in Qingyang Town.

After all, it had been so long that no one could remember when the Xie Family, Qingyang Town's second-largest force, had last suffered such a devastating loss.

Three rather talented juniors of the Xie Family had been crippled at once. There was no way they would let this go!

"He's still wet behind the ears, letting his hot blood get the better of him," another drunkard slurred.

"Once this hunt is over, the Lin Family will probably have one less outstanding junior. What a pity."

"Outstanding talent?" Someone beside him sneered. "Compared to Lei Li of the Lei Family, his talent is merely ordinary."

Once everyone around him turned their attention his way, he gave a light cough and said, "I heard from people in the Lei Family that Lei Li has already reached the peak of the Body Tempering Stage. By the time of the hunt, he will definitely have entered the Yuan Realm!"

The man's words drew a wave of shocked exclamations.

At once, they became even more certain of Lin Tianci's fate.

No matter how strong Lin Tianci was, facing Lei Li after he entered the Yuan Realm would likely mean dying on the spot!

Meanwhile, a considerable number of people had already gathered within the Xie Family.

There were not only members of the Xie Family, but quite a few people from the Lei Family as well.

Lei Li was among them.

"This hunt no longer concerns only the juniors of our Lei and Xie Families. It concerns the honor of both our families."

Xie Qian and Lei Bao sat in the seats of honor. After taking a sip of tea, Xie Qian spoke.

Even after so long, whenever Xie Qian recalled what Lin Tianci had done that day, his teeth still itched with hatred.

So many gifted juniors had been crippled by him just like that!

They were the painstaking investment of the Xie Family!

His hatred for Lin Tianci had long reached the point where he could not rest until Lin Tianci was dead.

"That boy from the Lin Family has indeed grown far too quickly." Lei Bao nodded, a vicious gleam appearing in his eyes.

"I originally thought Lin Tianci was all show, but now it seems he has truly exceeded my expectations."

"A boy with such talent, and a member of the Lin Family at that, absolutely cannot be allowed to grow any further. Otherwise, our two families may face a great disaster."

Hearing this, Lei Bao and Xie Qian exchanged a glance. Both could see the icy Killing Intent in the other's eyes.

"Rest assured, Grandpas. In my current state, I will definitely make another breakthrough before the hunt. When the time comes, killing Lin Tianci will be as easy as crushing a bug."

A cruel smile appeared on Lei Li's face below.

"And that mangy dog from the Savage Blade Martial Hall—I'll make sure none of them return!"

Clearly, during the previous Marketplace gathering, Lin Tianci and Wu Yun's disregard for him had left Lei Li extremely displeased. He had already come to regard Lin Tianci as a thorn in his side.

Xie Qian nodded. After pondering for a moment, he took out an object and tossed it to Lei Li below.

Lei Li hurriedly caught it and lowered his head to inspect it.

It was a dart no bigger than a little finger.

The dart was pitch-black all over, and a cold glint flickered across its surface, making even Lei Li's heart palpitate.

"What is this?" Lei Li looked toward Xie Qian.

"This is called the Demonbane Needle. I paid a tremendous price to obtain it, and its power is unmatched. Once fired, even a Sky Realm expert could fall victim to it if caught off guard."

Xie Qian's words surprised Lei Li. He had not expected such a tiny item to be capable of dealing with Sky Realm experts.

With this item, Lei Li became even more confident.

"Lin Tianci, during this hunt, even if you possess heaven-reaching abilities, I will still make sure you die without an intact corpse!"

"Ding. Detected that the Child of the Plane, Lin Dong, has increased his cultivation. Congratulations, Host, you have received a Tenfold Cultivation Return."

The system's voice once again sounded in Lin Tianci's mind.

By now, Lin Tianci had grown somewhat accustomed to it.

During this period, he had been putting Lin Dong through Special Training.

Though he was busy every day, the results had been gratifying.

Lin Dong had already used up quite a bit of the various medicinal ingredients Lin Zhentian had given Lin Tianci.

Had it not been for the Spirit Medicine delivered by Blazing Flame Manor, along with Lin Tianci occasionally gathering some from the mountains, there might truly not have been enough for Lin Dong's needs.

"With this Tenfold Cultivation Return, I should be able to reach the Late Yuan Realm."

Lin Tianci had a clear estimate in mind.

When that portion of cultivation appeared within his Dantian, Lin Tianci's cultivation suddenly soared.

He had finally reached the Late Yuan Realm!

The Chaos Ancestor Stone, which had been waiting for a long time, finally stirred as well.

With a slight tremor, it released even more Power of Chaos than last time.

Naturally, Lin Tianci was unwilling to waste even the slightest bit and absorbed it all!

And at last, Lin Tianci's Physical Body underwent a qualitative transformation!

A vast force erupted from Lin Tianci's Dantian before flooding into all four limbs and every bone in his body.

Lin Tianci felt as though Dragon's Roar was surging and roaring through his veins. His muscles bulged high as dragon-like explosive power brewed within them!

"My Physical Body's strength now is probably no weaker than that of the Dragon Race!" Lin Tianci took a deep breath, his blood and vitality churning violently throughout his body!

When demonic beasts faced cultivators, what they could rely on was their formidable physique. But if they faced Lin Tianci, even that final advantage would likely vanish in an instant!

Calling the current Lin Tianci a Humanoid Demonic Beast would not be an exaggeration at all!

"Brother Tianci, y-your strength has increased again?"

Over this period, Lin Tianci and Qing Tan had become quite close. Thus, even though Lin Tianci stood bare-chested before Qing Tan, she was not overly shy.

She felt as though standing before Lin Tianci was like standing before a furnace, warm and comforting.

Qing Tan touched Lin Tianci's muscles, which were even harder than Black Iron, and could not help baring her teeth.

Brother Tianci's strength was becoming more and more terrifying to her.

"Qing Tan, do you want to try?" Lin Tianci looked at Qing Tan beside him. A thought crossed his mind, and he suddenly asked.

"Try? How?" Qing Tan froze, clearly not understanding what Lin Tianci meant as she asked doubtfully.

"Bring out the sharpest knife in your home." Lin Tianci gestured with his chin.

Hearing this, Lin Qingtan obediently found a blade that gleamed with a cold light.

The blade was clearly one of Lin Xiao's treasured possessions. The moment it was brought out, the temperature around them seemed to drop by several degrees.

Its edge was so sharp that it gave the impression it could slice through hair with a single breath.

Qing Tan handed the blade to Lin Tianci.

Lin Tianci did not reach out to take it.

Instead, he pointed at his own arm.

"Qing Tan, try cutting me."
