Lin Xiao's Shock, Could Liu Yuan Be a Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist?

Lin Xiao hurried forward.

In just a few strides, he reached Liu Yuan's side, not even sparing the massive wolf carcass a glance.

His eyes were fixed solely on the wound on his daughter's leg!

Seeing the anxious look on her father's face, Qing Tan quickly began to explain.

She swiftly recounted what had happened.

She had been gathering herbs in the Back Mountain.

By chance, she had encountered a Black Scale Wolf.

She had thought she was about to be eaten.

At the critical moment, Brother Liu Yuan had appeared.

With two punches, he had killed the Black Scale Wolf!

Lin Xiao's expression instantly froze.

His mind rapidly processed the information in those few sentences.

A Black Scale Wolf?

His brows furrowed tightly.

How could there be such a Monster Beast in the Back Mountain?

Clan members patrolled and cleared the area year-round. At most, there should only have been some insignificant wild beasts.

Wait!

Lin Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted!

He caught the most crucial part of her words!

"Qing Tan, did you just say... Liu Yuan killed the Black Scale Wolf with two punches?"

Even his voice carried a thick note of astonishment.

Lin Xiao stared fixedly at the wolf carcass Liu Yuan held in his hand.

Those grim scales, that massive body, and that shattered head...

There was no doubt about it!

It was a Black Scale Wolf!

A stormy sea churned in Lin Xiao's heart!

Of course he knew how powerful a Black Scale Wolf was!

A ferocious beast comparable to an Earth Origin Realm martial artist!

And yet Liu Yuan...

Had actually killed it with two punches?!

What kind of terrifying strength was that?

Could it be...

That Liu Yuan's strength had already reached the late Earth Origin Realm?

Or even... the Heavenly Origin Realm?!

The moment that thought arose, even Lin Xiao found it hard to believe!

How old was Liu Yuan?

At Liu Yuan's age, the other younger members of the Lin Family were still stuck at the Body Tempering Realm!

And it was not just the Lin Family!

The Xie Family!

The Lei Family!

Mad Blade Martial Hall!

The younger generation throughout all of Qing Yang Town was the same!

But Liu Yuan...

At the very least, he was already at the late Earth Origin Realm!

This... this was far more impressive than Lin Xiao had been back then!

Lin Xiao suddenly felt an unprecedented curiosity about Liu Yuan's origins.

Before losing his memories, what major faction had he belonged to, to have produced such a prodigy?!

However, Lin Xiao had no time to dwell on it now.

His daughter's injuries were what mattered most.

He immediately took Qing Tan and quickly carried her back into the house.

Inside the house.

Liu Yan was carefully dressing Qing Tan's wound with crushed medicinal herbs.

Lin Xiao stood before Liu Yuan, his expression incomparably solemn.

He gave Liu Yuan a deep bow.

"Liu Yuan, thank you for saving Qing Tan!"

"If it hadn't been for you, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Liu Yuan hurriedly supported him.

He shook his head.

"Uncle Xiao, you're being too formal."

Liu Yuan said, "Wasn't I also picked up by Lin Dong?"

"By that logic, I should be thanking Lin Dong properly as well."

Lin Xiao was momentarily speechless, then laughed.

He looked at Liu Yuan.

The boy had saved someone, yet showed no pride or desire for credit. His temperament was humble and easygoing.

Young people with both strength and good character were rare indeed.

Lin Xiao's favorable impression of him increased once more.

Just then, Lin Dong returned from outside.

He was drenched in sweat, clearly having just finished training.

Seeing Liu Yuan standing with his father, Lin Xiao, in such a serious atmosphere, he asked in confusion, "Father, Brother Liu Yuan, what are you doing? Why so serious?"

Lin Xiao turned around and briefly told Lin Dong what had happened.

Lin Dong was immediately shocked upon hearing it.

"What?!"

He rushed to Liu Yan's side in one step, anxiously looking at his younger sister.

"A Black Scale Wolf appeared on the Back Mountain? Qing Tan, are you alright?"

Lin Xiao said, "Qing Tan is fine. She only has some superficial injuries on her foot. A few days of rest will be enough."

Lin Dong let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked Liu Yuan up and down as though he were staring at a monster.

"My god... Brother Liu Yuan, you're actually this strong!"

he exclaimed.

"You killed an Earth Origin Realm Black Scale Wolf with two punches..."

"Compared to you, wouldn't all us juniors in Qing Yang Town be nothing?"

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to lecture Lin Dong.

"Now you know what it means that there is always someone stronger, and a higher sky beyond the sky?"

"From now on, you must not slack off in your training even in the slightest!"

Lin Dong chuckled and scratched his head.

He felt no jealousy at all. Instead, he was happy for Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan merely smiled and replied, "Actually, I don't remember the past very clearly either."

"But being able to help Qing Tan is truly wonderful."

Soon, Liu Yan finished dressing Qing Tan's wound and came over as well.

She offered Liu Yuan another heartfelt round of thanks.

After that.

At Liu Yuan's instruction, Liu Yan directly dragged the enormous Black Scale Wolf away to be dealt with.

The flesh and blood of an Earth Origin Realm Monster Beast contained immense energy.

For a Body Tempering Realm Martial Artist like Lin Dong, it was an excellent tonic!

After a hearty feast of wolf meat.

Lin Dong felt strength coursing through his entire body and eagerly ran off to the Back Mountain to continue tempering his body through cultivation.

Liu Yuan returned to his own room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he recalled everything that had happened today and began pondering to himself.

Hmm.

With the system, my starting situation is pretty good.

I'm in Qing Yang Town and possess the strength of the Lesser Yuan Dan Realm.

For the time being, I probably won't run into any trouble.

But...

I can't let my guard down completely.

Even though I have a Nine-Star Origin Core and can crush others in terms of cultivation realm.

I haven't learned any Cultivation Techniques.

I haven't practiced any Martial Arts.

And my Actual Combat experience is practically zero.

I need to make up for all these shortcomings as soon as possible.

Besides...

Liu Yuan thought of the system's rules.

Right now, he was only the strongest within the "map illuminated by Lin Dong."

But in the world of Wu Dong Qian Kun, the greatest dangers often came from enemies who crossed over from other maps!

For example, when Lin Dong first encountered Lin Lang Tian in the future.

Or the Other Demons that would keep appearing later on.

None of them were enemies native to the original map.

The system could not include them in its real-time combat power calculations.

In other words, he could not rest easy.

So he absolutely could not lower his guard!

He had to raise his actual strength as quickly as possible!

Liu Yuan considered ways to grow stronger.

Then suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind!

Got it!

He had thought of a brilliant idea!

The system's rule was: strongest on the entire map.

And the more native powerhouses there were on the map—and the stronger they were—the more strength I would gain by surpassing them!

Then...

Couldn't I turn this around and actively invest in Lin Dong? Help him level up quickly.

Lin Dong was the Child of Fortune of the Wu Dong Qian Kun world, the future Martial Ancestor.

There was no doubt that his talent was top-tier!

As long as he was given resources, his growth rate would definitely be terrifying!

Moreover, Lin Dong was the sort of person who would take a blade to the ribs for his brothers.

As long as he considered you a brother, when something happened, he would truly step up!

Investing in him definitely wouldn't be a loss!

What's more, Lin Dong's family had saved his life and treated him so well.

Whether out of gratitude or reason, he ought to repay them.

That way...

He could help Lin Dong grow stronger quickly.

Lin Dong growing stronger would be equivalent to raising the map's upper limit of strength.

Once the map's upper limit rose, the system would automatically make him stronger as well!

And he could also gain Lin Dong's friendship along the way.

This was truly killing two birds with one stone!
