For a moment, all the Lin Clan members looked at Lin Dong differently.
"Spirit treasures are weapons with spirituality that Spirit Talisman Masters tinker up. Their power is decent enough. If you're interested, kid, you can perhaps learn a little in the future."
Cang Wu explained with a smile, but when Lin Dong heard this, he showed little interest. Instead, he asked with considerable anticipation, "Then there should be spirit treasures inside the Ancient Tomb Mansion, right? After all, it's an Ancient Tomb Mansion left behind by a Nirvana Realm expert."
"There naturally will be. There might even be an Earth-grade Spirit Treasure!"
Lin Ke'er replied softly. However, Cang Wu at the side casually waved his hand and said with a beaming smile, "That's all the ambition you have, kid? With so many people here, why don't you ask what magic treasure Lin Langtian uses? When the time comes, just snatch it straight off him, won't you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Lin Clan members could not help but change, and they looked at Cang Wu strangely.
But when Lin Dong heard this, his eyes lit up. Clearly, he really was tempted. He immediately turned his gaze to Wu Tao beside him, then looked at Lin Ke'er.
That fervent look startled Lin Ke'er, and she hurriedly said, "Lin Dong, don't act recklessly. Big Brother Lin Langtian commands the Clan Law Enforcement Team. If you dare offend him, he has the authority to execute you."
"No wonder trash runs your Lin Clan. So the ones more outstanding than him were all executed because they offended him, were they?"
Cang Wu, however, was the sort who didn't mind making trouble worse, and he fanned the flames from the side with a smile.
But those words frightened Wu Tao and the others into a cold sweat. Were such words something one could say? Was he really not afraid they would reach the Elder Council's ears and get him executed on the spot?
However, after Lin Ke'er and the other inner-clan geniuses of the Lin Clan reacted, their faces turned somewhat pale.
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
In the past, Lin Langtian's fame had pressed down on them, and these younger geniuses had never had many thoughts beyond worship. Even if they had, those thoughts had long since been suppressed.
But now, in front of Cang Wu, they did not even have the chance to refute him. Whoever showed displeasure simply could not even move their mouth.
"So, kid, just go ahead and act. Your Lin Clan can't be so shortsighted that they'd push a great genius like you out the door for the sake of a piece of trash whose uselessness is clear at a glance, can they?"
As Cang Wu spoke, he even gestured toward Wu Tao at the side.
Within the Lin Clan, Lin Dong was not entirely without someone who could speak for him. Although Wu Tao was only a minor deacon, as long as he was willing, he could also make a big fuss and bring the matter higher up.
Wu Tao seemed to understand something as well. He could not help but glance at Cang Wu a few more times, his eyes narrowing slightly as his mind began racing.
Wu Tao was still a deacon of the Lin Clan and a Primal Core Realm Great Perfection expert. He was different from these youngsters, most of whom were out training for the first time. He had witnessed the might of experts at the Three Realms of Creation many times.
Yet even so, he still could not see through Cang Wu. The feeling the other party gave him was even more unfathomable than the grand elder at the advanced Creation Realm.
Lin Dong's talent, plus such a mysterious expert supporting him from behind...
Wu Tao's heartbeat could not help but quicken, and his breathing gradually grew hurried. He felt as if an unparalleled opportunity were waving at him!
He was already a friend of Lin Zhentian. If he could help Lin Dong establish a firm foothold in the Lin Clan, then when the time came, could he, an outsider deacon, perhaps take another step forward within the Lin Clan?
Even if he did not advance in status, he should still be able to obtain more resources, right? The Three Realms of Creation, surely that would no longer be a dream?
Thinking of this, Wu Tao felt his entire body begin to tremble. There was some fear, but more than that, there was excitement.
Then Wu Tao said in a trembling voice, "Lin Dong, the Lin Clan actually encourages healthy competition between clan members. A genius should receive the treatment of a genius. Of course, the premise is that you are a true genius. Do you understand?"
With a single sentence, Lin Dong's heartbeat instantly sped up. Seeing this, Little Marten did not forget to throw another log onto the fire.
"Lin Dong, kid, what the hell are you scared of? Go at that son of a bitch Lin Langtian. Don't you still need to avenge your father?"
"Little Marten, do you think my strength is enough to exchange blows with Lin Langtian? Senior also said that he probably has powerful spirit treasures!"
It was not that Lin Dong was not tempted. It was just that the more tempted he was, the calmer he became instead.
He was like a young tiger hidden in the darkness, locking onto a massive lion. He was not making a move because he was estimating the strength of both sides. He wanted to bite the other party to death in one strike. At the very least, he could not allow himself to be bitten, wounded, or killed by the other party.
"What the hell are you scared of? Don't you have Pure Origin Pills, kid? Work hard and use them all. As long as you break through to Primal Core Realm Great Perfection, just go straight at him and be done with it!"
Seeing this, Little Marten naturally supported Lin Dong without hesitation. The young Heavenly Demon Marten was no old monster who planned everything before moving. What he had always believed in was simple: if you were unhappy, fight.
"Besides, don't you have me, your big brother? With us brothers joining forces, anyone below the Creation Realm will absolutely get flattened. At worst, Lord Marten will put his life on the line and go back to sleep for a few years afterward!"
Seeing Little Marten's utterly unconcerned manner, Lin Dong naturally did not hesitate at all. He quickly nodded hard and could not help letting out a low shout.
"Then I'll beat him. The grudge from when he ruined my father back then—this time, I'll definitely settle it personally!"
When Lin Dong spoke, his face showed a sharp expression from the force of his emotion.
Lin Ke'er and the others at the side could not help but be startled when they heard this. Wu Tao also reacted at that moment. Back then, Lin Dong's father, Lin Xiao, had been crippled by a single palm strike from Lin Langtian.
As for Lin Chen, Lin Feng, and the others, their attitude toward Lin Dong also changed considerably at this moment.
They had not expected that the reason Lin Dong held such great hostility toward Lin Langtian was actually because of his father's grudge.
They were all half-grown youths, right at the age of hot blood and fierce spirit. Added to Lin Dong's strength, which had convinced them completely, for a time, no one actually mocked Lin Dong for overestimating himself.
Lin Ke'er hesitated for a moment, then softly reminded him, "Lin Dong, you should still be a little cautious about some things. Big Brother Lin Langtian's Spirit Wheel Mirror is an Earth-grade Spirit Treasure. It's said that Big Brother Lin Langtian has also mastered quite a few high-grade martial arts, even Creation Martial Arts. His strength is extraordinary."
When Lin Dong heard this, not only did he not retreat, his gaze instead grew even more fervent.
"Not bad, kid. You've got some backbone. This time, if you can get the better of him, the opportunity you obtained inside the Symbol Master Tower might have a chance to be realized."
Cang Wu nodded with considerable satisfaction, then once again casually threw on the hottest log of all, making Lin Dong's eyes turn feverish.
This time, Lin Langtian, I'm definitely robbing you!
Because that opportunity was none other than the legendary—Ancestor Symbol!
