Four-Seal Talisman Master!

"Tower Competition?"

Hearing Lin Ke'er's words, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then a look of realization flashed through his eyes.

Speaking of the Tower Competition, one had to mention the Symbol Master Association.

As its name suggested, the Symbol Master Association was an organization where Talisman Masters gathered. Every moderately large city had its own Symbol Master Association, and Lin City was naturally no exception.

Moreover, since Lin City was the headquarters of the Lin Clan, the Lin City Symbol Master Association was largely composed of Lin Clan members, and its President was even an Elder of the Lin Clan with real authority.

Thus, although the Symbol Master Association usually kept a low profile, it was still a faction within the Lin Clan that could not be underestimated.

The Tower Competition was connected to the Symbol Master Association's Symbol Master Tower.

A Symbol Master Tower was a wondrous tower formed from the Spiritual Power of numerous Talisman Master predecessors. It possessed an extraordinary effect in tempering and cleansing one's spirit.

The Lin City Symbol Master Association also possessed a Symbol Master Tower, the result of the efforts of countless predecessors over several centuries.

Across the Great Yan Dynasty, however, fewer than one-tenth of cities possessed a Symbol Master Tower.

A Symbol Master Tower exerted an immensely powerful unifying influence over a city's Talisman Masters. It was akin to a Holy Land in the hearts of many Talisman Masters, and every city's Symbol Master Association would spare no effort to obtain one.

Yet a Symbol Master Tower required not only powerful Talisman Masters, but also the continuous construction of generations of predecessors. It was therefore exceedingly rare.

Thus, some newly risen cities began entertaining crooked thoughts of seizing Symbol Master Towers by force.

Naturally, the Imperial Family would not permit such things. Under its intervention, an unwritten rule emerged: the Tower Competition!

This was a clash between the Talisman Masters of two cities—or, more precisely, a clash between the Young Generation of Talisman Masters. The prize for victory was the Symbol Master Tower.

At this point, Lin Langtian suddenly recalled something. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "I remember that our Lin City Symbol Master Tower was lost to another city a few years ago, wasn't it?"

Lin Ke'er also revealed a bitter smile upon hearing this. "Brother Langtian remembers correctly. Our Lin City Symbol Master Tower was indeed lost to another city a few years ago, and that city was Huangpu City of the Huangpu Family!"

"The Huangpu Family..."

At the mention of that family, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly. Come to think of it, he still had a score to settle with Huangpu Ying!

"Though our Lin City Symbol Master Tower was lost to Huangpu City a few years ago, our Lin City Symbol Master Association has won the matches for the past two years," Lin Xue said from the side. "As long as we win one more match, the Symbol Master Tower can return to Lin City."

"Oh, our Lin City Symbol Master Association won both of the past two years?" Lin Langtian raised a brow.

According to the Tower Competition rules, one had to challenge for three consecutive years and win every battle before gaining possession of the Symbol Master Tower. He had not expected Lin City to have already won twice in a row.

Lin Langtian remembered that Yan City, where Lin Dong was currently located, seemed to be about to begin its Tower Competition as well. However, unlike the defending Yan City Symbol Master Association, which had lost for two consecutive years, the Lin City Symbol Master Association where Lin Langtian was was the challenger that had won for two consecutive years.

This curious coincidence made him sigh softly.

"Although we've won for two years in a row, I heard that the Huangpu Family is getting anxious too. Over the past few months, they've invited quite a few talented young Talisman Masters. I hope our Lin City Symbol Master Association can maintain its winning streak this year," Lin Ke'er said expectantly.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian stroked his chin, and the thought of representing the Lin City Symbol Master Association in the Tower Competition arose in his heart.

For one, he could take a small measure of revenge against the Huangpu Family. For another, the Symbol Master Tower also possessed an exceptional effect in tempering and cleansing one's spirit.

Lin Langtian could sense that as his Spiritual Power continued to grow, the Spiritual Power sealed within the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was nearly exhausted.

By Lin Langtian's estimation, the remaining Spiritual Power in the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm could at most support him until he broke through to become a Four-Seal Talisman Master before vanishing completely.

In the Original Timeline, Lin Dong had used Yan City's Symbol Master Tower to break through from two seals to three. The scale of Lin City's Symbol Master Tower was far beyond that of Yan City's, so Lin Langtian could use it to break through to the Spirit Talisman Master realm in one go!

Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian chatted with Lin Ke'er for a few more moments before seeing the two out the door under Lin Xue's reluctant gaze.

Once again left alone in the room, Lin Langtian removed his shoes and socks, then sat cross-legged on the bed.

After adjusting his state, Lin Langtian sank his mind into his Mud Pill Palace.

The Mud Pill Palace was now almost overflowing with boundless Spiritual Power. Three talisman vortexes spun tirelessly, while streams of pure Spiritual Power flowed continuously from the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm and poured into those vortexes.

Before the Tower Competition, Lin Langtian intended to break through to the Four-Seal Talisman Master realm in one stroke!

Although Lin Langtian was highly confident in his own talent, his current situation was that while his Origin Energy Cultivation could be said to be unmatched among the Great Yan Dynasty's Young Generation, he did not hold much of an advantage in Spiritual Power.

Lin Langtian even knew that some outstanding young Talisman Masters in the Great Yan Dynasty had already reached the Spirit Talisman Master realm.

Therefore, only by breaking through to become a Four-Seal Talisman Master would Lin Langtian have a chance to gain the Upper Hand in the Tower Competition, a contest that belonged to Talisman Masters!

Lin Langtian was confident in this. Though he had not focused on cultivating his Spiritual Power during this period, under the Black Vortex Talisman's special effect, the three talisman vortexes had been continuously devouring the Spiritual Power sealed within the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm.

Thus, Lin Langtian was now merely one thin layer away from becoming a Four-Seal Talisman Master.

All Lin Langtian needed to do now was pierce through that layer and truly step into the Four-Seal Talisman Master realm!

Thus, for the following stretch of time, Lin Langtian sat like an Old Monk in Meditation, his eyes tightly shut.

At the same time, the talisman vortexes within his Mud Pill Palace tirelessly devoured the endless stream of Spiritual Power supplied by the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm.

Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, just as the Spiritual Power within the Golden Spirit Wheel Realm was about to run dry, a tremendous change suddenly occurred within the Mud Pill Palace!

"Buzz buzz!"

Within the Mud Pill Palace, the talisman vortexes that had gradually fused together rapidly twisted. Moments later, they transformed into a mysterious radiant talisman.

Two cracks emerged on the radiant talisman. The cracks then widened further before finally shattering apart, transforming into four smaller Natal Talismans that floated within the Mud Pill Palace!

"Boom!"

The instant the four Natal Talismans appeared, a Spiritual Power storm seemed to erupt within Lin Langtian's Mud Pill Palace. Powerful waves spread outward from it, eventually permeating every part of Lin Langtian's body!

Every muscle and bone in Lin Langtian's body trembled at that moment. His tightly shut eyes abruptly flew open, and a wave of almost tangible Spiritual Power shot from them.

A piercing howl, carrying formidable Spiritual Power, erupted like a volcano!

"Four-Seal Talisman Master!"
