Hiss! A Bright Force is Dead!

A genius.

Without question, the youth before him was a genius upon the path of martial arts.

However, Lin Tian's attention on the youth only lingered for a moment.

Then it returned to himself once more.

After all, no matter how much of a genius the other party was, it probably had nothing to do with him.

He only needed to take care of himself.

A day passed very quickly.

Today, Lin Tian was still the last person to walk out of the Martial Academy.

However, this time, he was somewhat earlier than before.

After all, that incident had happened last time.

He still needed to be a little more careful.

Today, he had gone back a little earlier; he figured he probably would not run into yesterday's...

But before he could finish the thought.

A rough, furious shout had already come over!

"Stop that kid! Don't let him run!!!"

It was exactly the same play as yesterday all over again.

There were still furious roars, still one person being chased by several people behind him, weapons in hand.

And Lin Tian still leaped into the reed thicket to the side.

Only this time.

When Lin Tian saw those people, a grave look appeared in his eyes.

Because the people in front responsible for the pursuit and killing were actually carrying sabers in their hands!

And they were long sabers at that!

Those were strictly controlled items.

These people actually had them!

And the person being hunted seemed like someone Lin Tian had seen somewhere before?

Right, that man was from the Shark Gang!!

Lin Tian's heart shook violently.

One had to know, in their Jinghe Bend, the Shark Gang was the local tyrant.

Now, someone from this local tyrant was actually being hunted down in broad daylight?!

Lin Tian immediately thought of what his mother, of the Zhao Clan, had told him last night about things being unsettled lately.

Could it be that this so-called unrest had something to do with those gangs?

After those people had gone far away.

Lin Tian no longer hesitated and immediately returned home at speed.

And in his heart, he made up his mind.

Tomorrow, he absolutely had to take another road home.

When he returned home today.

It was still the same as yesterday.

The entire household was full of silence.

It was even quieter than yesterday.

The whole house gave off an indescribable feeling.

Lin Tian knew very clearly what the reason was for things becoming like this.

His family was afraid of affecting his state and mood for martial training.

So his parents and older sister had all become careful and cautious...

Of course, among this, there was no lack of worry either.

Although they did not hold great expectations for Lin Tian's martial training.

To say they did not have even the slightest hope was also impossible.

But they did not dare ask.

After all, if because of this one question of theirs, they ended up learning something early and feeling disappointed.

Would that not mean... there was no hope at all...

And so the family finished dinner under such a silent atmosphere.

After that, they each went to rest.

Dusk.

Lin Tian had already sensed that something was off with his elder sister.

It seemed wanting to do something like that was no matter of just a day or two.

At that moment, Lin Tian understood very clearly.

All of this was motivation pushing him to train even harder in martial arts.

The next day.

Lin Tian was already the first to arrive at the Martial Academy.

The Mountain-Shaking Fist in his hands was also advancing steadily, bit by bit.

At this rate...

Lin Tian knew that, barring any accidents, in another four days, he would bring the Mountain-Shaking Fist to great accomplishment!

When the time came, he would be able to steadily attempt the barrier to Bright Force!

Of course, in truth, it could also be sooner.

After all, as his experience with the Mountain-Shaking Fist kept increasing, under the enhancement of his Fate Grid, he could already sense with relative clarity about when he could begin attempting the barrier.

He did not necessarily have to reach the sixth echo of great accomplishment before attempting the barrier.

Right now, he only needed to force himself to train the Mountain-Shaking Fist to the fifth echo.

Then he could attempt the barrier.

It was just that Bright Force was, in the end, known as the life-and-death barrier.

And there was only one chance to attempt it, so he did not want to take the risk.

After all, the price of failure was far too great.

Of course, that also had to change according to the situation.

For example, if the people of the Shark Gang really came knocking... then for the sake of his family, it was not as if he would not dare to take the risk!

Very soon, one or two groups of Outer Academy members from the Martial Academy came flooding into the courtyard.

After those people arrived inside the Martial Academy, they did not immediately begin training like Lin Tian.

Instead, they first gathered together to discuss some gossip and rumors.

"Hey, have you heard? I heard the Shark Gang seems to have been fighting other gangs recently!"

"And the Shark Gang was even the side that suffered a crushing defeat!"

"What? The Shark Gang lost? Is that true? Don't they have two Bright Force experts? They could still lose like that? Then what's the background of the other gang?"

"Heh, how could that be fake? Didn't you notice the Shark Gang hasn't even come out to collect incense money lately?"

"They say the Shark Gang even lost a Bright Force expert!"

"Hiss! A Bright Force expert died!!"

As the crowd's discussions drifted over, Lin Tian also listened to some of it.

A gang fight? Losing one Bright Force expert?

Suddenly, Lin Tian once again thought of the two people he had seen being chased down two nights ago.

It seemed this rumor was probably true...

Naturally, Lin Tian would not pay attention to the Shark Gang's movements.

What he cared about was whether the Shark Gang was truly, as that person had said, so occupied now that they had no time to concern themselves with common people like them.

This was tied to whether he could cultivate to Bright Force before those people came to his home...

After all, he had not forgotten.

There were still three Dragon King Letters in his home that had been given by those people.

Sinking his heart down, Lin Tian once again shifted his attention back to himself.

Set after set of fist techniques was swung without end.

Very quickly, three days swiftly passed.

Within the entire Martial Academy, with Xiao Tian's arrival, the topic on everyone's lips gradually shifted away from Lin Tian's body.

Xiao Tian was that martial arts genius who had come with his elder sister back then to seek a master.

The reason he drew attention was very simple.

It was that during these past few days, Zhao Cang had even walked out of the Inner Academy more than once to come and give him guidance.

This naturally made the many disciples of the Outer Academy envy him until baleful intent churned.

One had to know, that was Zhao Cang's guidance, and extra guidance at that.

This was undoubtedly a display of how highly he valued the other party.

And Lin Tian also knew that this should be because Zhao Cang had discovered Xiao Tian had already grasped the rhythm of breathing.

A talent for martial arts truly could be easily noticed by others even if buried in a crowd...

It really answered that saying: gold would always shine.

Of course, this had not the slightest effect on Lin Tian.

He remained sunk alone in his own world... practicing his fists alone.

Fate Grid · Learning Leads to Success

Mountain-Shaking Fist (Greater Mastery) 315/500

Two more days.

In two more days, he would be able to knock on the gate of Bright Force!

As the time for him to charge through the barrier drew ever closer, the unease in Lin Tian's heart grew heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario had not yet happened.

Today, the Shark Gang had not come to his home to take his elder sister away either.

From the looks of it, the other party truly should have no time to bother with them.

After all, they were very clear that once this Dragon King Letter was sent out, the time before the other party came knocking would absolutely not exceed three days!

Good! As long as he endured through tomorrow, then he would have a chance to struggle!

Of course, if the other party did not come tomorrow either...

As he thought this, a cold gleam flashed through Lin Tian's eyes.

Then there would be no need for the other party to come again after that.
