Xiao Yan grew more and more irritated.
How could he possibly fail to kill him?
"Little brat, if you can't kill him, doesn't that mean you're too weak?" Xiao Yan put away her spear and casually mocked Tang San.
Lin rolled his eyes at the guy. You insisted on provoking Tang San. There was nothing he could do about it. Besides, he was simply too weak. If it had been Tang San who died, there would have been no problem.
Tang San was no pushover.
"Don't worry, little brat. If you can't beat him, just come to me."
Xiao Yan patted her chest, utterly confident in her own strength.
Lin chuckled. They had already turned you into a roasted chicken, yet you still wanted to offer yourself up?
"Even Di Tian can't beat him..."
Xiao Yan looked at Lin doubtfully. "How is that possible? Even Di Tian can't beat him?"
Lin nodded. "Otherwise, how could I have failed to kill him? We'd better avoid dealing with him for now."
"Wait until we're stronger before killing him."
Xiao Yan said, "So we're just weak, right?"
Lin said, "You're weak too."
Xiao Yan said, "Little brat, I advise you to reconsider your wording, or I'll poke you with my spear..."
Lin said, "..."
At the Haotian Sect, Lin and Xiao Yan finally returned after spending half a month wandering around.
At that moment, Lin and Xiao Yan stood before Poison Unkillable's residence. Long Ao Tian and Dong Na were there as well.
"Little brat, this girl is also a Haotian Martial Soul?" Poison Unkillable looked curiously at Xiao Yan. "Her Soul Power has reached level 60. She's quite strong."
Lin shook his head. "No, old man. Her Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon. She's my friend, and she also wants to join our Haotian Sect."
Xiao Yan nodded from the side.
Poison Unkillable studied her. He could sense that she was mysterious, but he could not make out exactly what she was.
"If she wants to join, then join. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a Haotian Martial Soul. Our Haotian Sect isn't so rigid."
Poison Unkillable had no objections. With such a gifted genius joining, he could not have been happier. Why would he refuse?
After all, she was the sect's foundation.
Lin then introduced Xiao Yan to everyone.
After exchanging a few words, Poison Unkillable looked at Lin. "Little brat, you're level 32 now. What's your third soul skill?"
As soon as he spoke, Long Ao Tian and Dong Na also looked over curiously. They both knew that their little junior brother's soul rings were extraordinary. His third soul skill certainly would not be bad either.
Lin released his soul rings. Purple, black, black—three soul rings appeared.
"Third soul skill: Berserk Darkness!"
As he spoke, darkness slowly enveloped Lin's body, blending into his figure. His Black Tiger Martial Soul emerged, and his pupils radiated black light.
Other people had purple eyes, but Lin's were black. They looked terrifying...
"Old man, take a punch from me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin struck without waiting for Poison Unkillable to prepare. Dense darkness gathered around his fist as the heavy blow landed on Poison Unkillable's body.
Black light flashed. Poison Unkillable grunted softly. "Your soul skill seems to be the type that enhances yourself."
Lin nodded. "Old man, this soul skill lets me enter a berserk state for three minutes without any side effects. While Berserk Darkness is active, my attack, defense, and speed all increase by seventy percent."
Hearing that, Long Ao Tian and the others revealed envious expressions. This soul skill was simply too powerful.
Three attributes increased by seventy percent, yet there were no side effects.
The lack of side effects was the most terrifying part. That meant that as long as Lin had enough Soul Power, he could keep using his third soul skill.
Combined with the awakening of the Golden Core Martial Soul, it was terrifying beyond measure.
This enhancement had already surpassed the second awakening of a Ten-Thousand-Year Martial Soul.
Of course, Lin had not finished explaining. If his Soul Body joined in, the enhancement could reach one hundred percent.
Naturally, Lin would not reveal such a secret.
A percentage increase could be used even in the late stages. This soul skill was truly outrageous.
"Good, good, good. This soul skill works perfectly with your Martial Soul. It's not bad at all."
"But why did your Soul Power only increase by two levels?"
Poison Unkillable was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, the improvement from a ten-thousand-year soul ring should have been far greater than that.
Yet Lin had only risen by two levels.
"Old man, it's because I found that material."
Lin smiled. Poison Unkillable's face lit up. Had the final ingredient been found?
"That's right. Ao Tian, Dong Na, you two should take Xiao Yan around the sect first. The little brat and I have something to discuss."
Poison Unkillable looked at them and began sending them away.
As soon as Long Ao Tian and the others left, Dong Na pouted. "Ever since little junior brother came back, old man doesn't care about us anymore."
Long Ao Tian patted Dong Na's shoulder. "Little junior brother can help us awaken our Golden Core..."
Dong Na glanced at Long Ao Tian. Once he said that, she gave in.
"Fine. Since he's little junior brother, how could I argue with him?"
"Sister Xiao Yan, how did you meet little junior brother?"
Dong Na looked at Xiao Yan beside her. This girl seemed rather formidable as well.
Inside the room, Lao Yao floated out from the ring.
"Brother."
Poison Unkillable laughed awkwardly, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Stop talking. Give me all the medicinal ingredients you've collected. In three days, you can take the pill."
Upon hearing this, Poison Unkillable quickly handed all the materials he had gathered to Lao Yao.
Poison Unkillable had searched for the final ingredient for a long time but could not find it. He had never expected Lin to find it.
He truly was the lucky star of the Haotian Sect.
"Brother, refine it properly. I'll personally stand guard for you."
Poison Unkillable laughed, then quickly closed the door and prepared to guard outside.
Lao Yao was also amused by Poison Unkillable's reaction.
Lin stood to one side as white flames emerged from Lao Yao's hand.
As the precious ingredients were tossed in one after another, terrifying poison mist spread in every direction. Poison Unkillable, who was outside, immediately gathered the poisonous mist.
"This poison—if it spreads, the entire Haotian Sect will suffer."
Poison Unkillable felt somewhat relieved. He knew pill refinement was dangerous, but he had not expected it to be this exaggerated.
It had been wise for him to guard the doorway himself.
Lin possessed the Flame of Frost, so he was not worried about this poison. His gaze remained fixed on Lao Yao as he watched every refining step carefully.
The surrounding spiritual energy was continuously drawn in, and the medicinal pill spun endlessly in the air.
Three days later, the poison in the surroundings had been completely absorbed into the pill.
"Little brat, once this pill is given to Poison Unkillable, I'll go rest first."
"This pill will not only let him take another step forward, but also allow him to condense a Soul Core. Tell Poison Unkillable to find a place rich in Soul Power to refine it."
After saying that, Lao Yao handed the pill to Lin and returned to rest inside the ring.
Lin carefully sensed the deep purple pill. He did not even dare imagine how poisonous it was. Since the pill was meant for Poison Unkillable, it was not a serious concern.
Lin opened the door, and Poison Unkillable immediately came over.
"Old man, this is for you. You've waited a long time."
Lin handed over the pill. Poison Unkillable cautiously wrapped it with Soul Power.
Lin then repeated the precautions to him.
"Good, good, good. Little brat, I'll go refine it first. If the Sect Master returns, tell him to handle things."
"Wait for me to come out!"
