Trading Skin with a Tiger! Old Man: Use them boldly! They are the tools!

The night before the finals of the National League.

Ye Xuan was frantically cultivating in his hotel room, trying to consolidate the realm he had forcibly elevated using a secret technique.

Just then, a figure like a ghost appeared outside his window, silently.

"Who?!"

Ye Xuan's eyes snapped open, his hair standing on end, a strong sense of crisis surging in his heart.

The window was gently pushed open.

A man wearing a black robe and a silver mask on his face floated in silently, as if weightless.

His aura, deep as the sea, made Ye Xuan's heart skip a beat.

This was definitely a super expert!

"No need to be nervous," the Masked Man's voice was hoarse yet full of magnetism. "I mean no harm."

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and an ancient rosewood box landed steadily on the table in front of Ye Xuan.

"A small token of appreciation, nothing much."

Ye Xuan didn't look at the box. His gaze was fixed on the Masked Man, and he asked warily, "Who are you people? What do you want with me?"

"We are people who appreciate you."

The Masked Man chuckled lightly and said slowly, "As for the purpose... what do you think?"

He didn't say it explicitly, but his gaze, subtly, flickered in the direction of the Lin Family Manor outside the window.

Boom!

Ye Xuan's heart trembled violently!

He understood instantly!

These people were Lin Yuan's enemies!

He opened the rosewood box.

In an instant, a pure spiritual energy so dense it was almost tangible rushed towards him!

Inside the box, quietly lying was a Thousand-Year Fire Lingzhi, the size of a fist, blood-red all over, as if magma was flowing within it.

Beside it were three crystal-clear Top-Grade Spirit Stones, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations!

Hiss--!

Even Ye Xuan couldn't help but gasp when he saw these items!

Any one of these things, if taken out, would be enough to cause a bloody storm!

And now, they were being presented to him as "welcome gifts"!

The other party's financial strength was simply unfathomable!

"Are... are you from the Huangfu Family?"

Ye Xuan asked tentatively.

Recently, the only one daring to openly provoke Lin Yuan with such a foundation was the Huangfu Family, who had a generations-old feud with the Lin Family. He couldn't think of anyone else.

The Masked Man smiled noncommittally, which was a tacit acknowledgment.

"How about it, Ye Xuan? We have a common enemy and common goals. In this world, there's no stronger alliance than that."

Ye Xuan's heart pounded violently.

Reason told him that cooperating with a behemoth like the Huangfu Family was like seeking a tiger for its skin; a slight misstep would leave him with nothing but bone dregs.

But...

He couldn't refuse!

He desperately needed resources!

The backlash from the Burning Blood Dragon Transformation Technique was getting worse.

Without a massive amount of Natural Treasures to replenish his life essence, let alone seeking revenge on Lin Yuan, he might not even see the sun next month!

"Teacher..." he called out anxiously in his heart, "What should I do? The Huangfu Family clearly wants to use me as a shield to deal with Lin Yuan!"

In his Consciousness Sea, the Extreme Dao Ancestor remained silent for a long time before sighing softly.

"Kid, fortune favors the bold!"

"Your current situation leaves you no room to retreat! The Huangfu Family wants to use you, but aren't you also using them?"

"They see you as a knife, so be the sharpest knife! First, take all their benefits and convert them into your own strength!"

"As long as you become strong enough, so strong that even they cannot Control you, the knife can turn and devour its master!"

"Use them boldly! You need these right now!"

The Extreme Dao Ancestor's words gave Ye Xuan a sense of reassurance.

He raised his head, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes replaced by determination and madness.

"Good! I agree to your terms!"

"A wise choice." The Masked Man nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. As long as you can continuously cause trouble for Lin Yuan, our Huangfu Family's resources will be supplied to you without limit!"

After speaking, his figure turned into a wisp of black smoke again and disappeared into the night.

Ye Xuan looked at the treasures on the table, enough to drive any Martial Artist mad, and unprecedented joy erupted in his eyes!

"Hahaha! It's destiny! I, Ye Xuan, am truly destined for greatness!"

"Lin Yuan! Do you see? Even Heaven is helping me!"

He immediately set up several isolation formations, then grabbed the Thousand-Year Fire Lingzhi and swallowed it in one gulp!

Rumble--!

A violent fire-elemental energy exploded within his body!

The feeling was like swallowing a live volcano!

Ye Xuan let out a roar of pain, frantically circulating the Burning Blood Dragon Transformation Technique, guiding this terrifying energy to cleanse his Limbs and Bones!

The Bottleneck in his body, in the face of this domineering power, was like paper, instantly broken through!

Boom!

Marrow Cleansing Realm Third Level!

He did it!

However, this was not the end!

The medicinal power of the Thousand-Year Fire Lingzhi was still vast and mighty!

Ye Xuan's eyes turned crimson. He gripped the three Top-Grade Spirit Stones in his hands and, like a giant whale absorbing water, madly devoured the energy within them!

Rumble rumble--!

The aura within his body rose steadily again!

The realm barrier that had just stabilized was once again forcefully broken open!

Marrow Cleansing Realm Fourth Level!

Two realms broken in one night!

"Ahhhhhh--!"

Ye Xuan roared to the sky.

A terrifying aura, several times stronger than before, erupted from him, almost tearing off the entire hotel roof!

He felt the surging, unprecedentedly powerful strength within his body, and a delirious smile spread across his face!

"I truly am the Child of Destiny!"

He clenched his fist, feeling the power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, his confidence swelling like never before!

"Lin Yuan! You just wait!"

"In the end, I will catch up to you! And then, I will crush you beneath my feet!"
