Ironwood Manor Sign-in, Even the Great Ruler's Creations Are Here?

Hearing Lin Ken's words, Lin Xiao, who stood to the side, also cast a gaze toward Lin Yan, his face full of curiosity.

Just like Lin Ken before him, Lin Xiao, who had rushed over here, had also witnessed Lin Yan fighting Lei Ying to a standstill, even faintly gaining the upper hand.

Because of this, Lin Xiao was actually very curious in his heart: had this child, Lin Yan, truly stepped into the Heaven Origin Realm?

If it were really true, that would be somewhat absurd.

After all, from the time he started cultivating until now, it had been less than a year by any generous estimate.

But to jump directly from the Body Tempering Realm to the Heaven Origin Realm in a single year—this speed was truly too monstrous.

"No."

"Uncle Lin Ken."

"I am actually still at the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm."

Lin Yan, however, shook his head at Lin Ken and Lin Xiao, speaking to the two of them.

"The late stage of the Earth Origin Realm?"

"That's not bad either."

Hearing this, the two were naturally slightly disappointed, and Lin Ken offered a word of comfort to Lin Yan.

But he soon realized that something was wrong.

His gaze became even more shocked than before.

"Wait, Lin Yan, does that mean you are only at the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm, yet you were able to fight Lei Ying, who is at the early stage of the Heaven Origin Realm, to a standstill and even slightly suppress him?"

Lin Xiao was also stunned by Lin Ken's remark.

"That's right! Lin Yan, how were you, at the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm, able to defeat someone in the Heaven Origin Realm? This completely defies common sense!"

Lin Xiao said, unable to wrap his head around it.

After all, as a Heaven Origin Realm martial artist, he naturally knew just how massive the gap was between the Heaven Origin Realm and the Earth Origin Realm.

Whether it was physical strength or the purity of Yuan Power, a Heaven Origin Realm martial artist was far more formidable than one in the Earth Origin Realm.

It could be said that for a Heaven Origin Realm martial artist, even if their cultivation was only at the early stage, the gap between them and a late-stage Earth Origin Realm martial artist was even greater than the gap between a late-stage and an early-stage Earth Origin Realm martial artist!

Therefore, now that Lin Ken had pointed it out, Lin Xiao had also spotted the blind spot, and his gaze was filled with shock as he looked at Lin Yan.

"I can only say it was luck."

"Or perhaps, is Lei Ying just relatively weak among those in the Heaven Origin Realm?"

Hearing this, Lin Yan scratched his head and gave a dry laugh at Lin Ken and Lin Xiao.

The two shook their heads solemnly and replied to Lin Yan with certainty: "No, Lei Ying's strength is not weak for the early stage of the Heaven Origin Realm."

"Or rather, it is you, this child, who is too monstrous."

At this, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao beamed with joy.

The frustration they had felt in their hearts due to the destruction of Ironwood Manor was quickly swept away!

The two couldn't help but say: "Although it is infuriating that Ironwood Manor was destroyed,"

"It makes us feel very fortunate that our Lin Clan produced a Lin Yan."

"Luck is a conserved thing; since our Lin Clan produced a child like you, it is acceptable to have a bit of bad luck in our daily lives."

Lin Yan smiled and didn't say much.

He was not the type to be flashy; most of the time, he preferred to keep a low profile.

Therefore, he did not continue the conversation along their lines.

Lin Xiao and Lin Ken had not known Lin Yan for only a day.

They also knew that while Lin Yan's strength and talent were terrifying, he was frighteningly low-key.

Thus, realizing that Lin Yan did not want to be the center of attention, they dropped the subject. After all, Lin Yan was now of extraordinary significance to the Lin Clan, and they needed to consider his feelings.

"Go and inspect the Ironwood Forest Domain within Ironwood Manor first to see the extent of the damage!"

Lin Ken turned his gaze and issued instructions to the remaining Lin Clan guards.

"Yes!"

The group of Lin Clan members began to respond and then quickly proceeded to investigate.

However, the answers they provided were not good—one could even say they were very poor—so both Lin Ken and Lin Xiao's expressions turned completely grim after hearing the reports.

The news was quickly sent back to the Lin Clan.

As for Lin Zhentian, who had rushed toward Ironwood Manor immediately upon receiving the news, he was, as expected, furious.

At this moment, outside the door of the main hall, hearing Lin Zhentian roaring in anger inside, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao both wore bitter smiles. Lin Ken then said to Lin Xiao: "It seems Father's anger will take a long time to dissipate."

"Third Brother, let's avoid his edge for now. If we go in now, we might both get scolded."

"So, let's wait until Father's anger has subsided before telling him about Yan'er. Once he knows about Yan'er's situation, Father's frustrated mood should improve."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded at Lin Ken, fully agreeing with his perspective.

On the other side, Lin Dong, who was sitting on a steep cliffside with Lin Yan, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Even for him, this was the first time he had seen Lin Zhentian fly into such a rage.

"Sigh, still not strong enough. I need to keep working hard."

"Struggling this much just to beat someone at the early Heaven Origin Realm... I'm still too pathetic."

Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Thinking of the powerful Lei Clan he would have to face in the future, and how in the original story they would even collude with others just to wipe out the Lin Clan, he became increasingly aware of his own lack of strength.

However, these words fell into Lin Dong's ears and made him twitch the corner of his mouth as well.

"Brother Lin Yan, you really aren't acting like a human."

"With your kind of strength, you still think you're too weak?"

"If that's the case, I might as well stop cultivating. It's just embarrassing."

Lin Dong said to Lin Yan with a face full of resentment.

Lin Yan gave a dry laugh and didn't say much else.

He quickly said to Lin Dong, "Little Brother Lin Dong, I'm going to wander around the area for a bit. Listening to Grandfather roar here all the time is a bit stifling."

Hearing this, Lin Dong nodded and stood up, asking Lin Yan, "Should we go together?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "No, I have other things to attend to."

Lin Dong rolled his eyes at Lin Yan upon hearing this, "Tch, forget it then! Always so mysterious."

The two soon parted ways.

As for Lin Yan, he quickly began to stroll around Ironwood Manor.

The reason he did this was, naturally, to perform a sign-in within Ironwood Manor.

After all, he didn't know the specific sign-in location, so he could only wander around and try his luck.

As for why he sent Lin Dong away, it was certainly because he didn't want him to discover his secret.

Lin Yan wandered around Ironwood Manor for quite a while.

He had originally been worried that he wouldn't be able to sign in here.

But the system did not let him down.

When Lin Yan strolled in front of an intact grove of trees, the system's voice suddenly rang out, and upon hearing it, Lin Yan came to a halt.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the sign-in at Ironwood Manor!]

[Reward obtained: Samsara Death Seal!]

[Origin: Great Thousand World!]

Lin Yan had originally thought that this reward would still be something from the Dou Qi Continent, as the previous few rewards had all been just that!

But after hearing the reward issued by the system, Lin Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because he quickly realized that the reward given by the system this time was not from the Dou Qi Continent, but a reward from the Great Thousand World in The Great Ruler?
