Could Lin Hao Have Actually Mastered It? [Bonus 2]

As a young idol, his acting skills had already been fully recognized by his fans.

This time, he would be the brightest star of this variety show.

The imposing force of Lin Residence thugs had now surrounded the Chu Family estate from all sides.

Among these thugs, over a hundred wore standardized robes and carried standardized weapons. They were likely the Lin Residence's exclusive armed force.

Standing at the entrance of the Chu Family estate, Lin Hao was at the very front.

Ignoring the panic of the Chu Family servants outside, he pushed open the Chu Family gates and strode straight in.

"Oh? Who dares to behave so outrageously in my Chu Family?"

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a gray robe emerged from the inner courtyard. His voice was exceptionally resonant, and his expression remained utterly calm.

"So it's people from the Lin Family. Coming to visit so early, and with such a grand display—what are you trying to do?"

"Could it be that you intend to wipe out my entire Chu Family?"

His tone seemed utterly fearless.

That was a little strange.

Lin Hao sized up the Chu Family head, considering what trump card the other man had.

According to the information his father had given him, only the Chu Family's third young master was somewhat noteworthy.

"The Chu Family's crimes are too numerous to recount. Naturally, the Lin Family is acting on Heaven's behalf."

Lin Hao's bargain-bin father was the first to respond to the Chu Family head.

With his son here, who did he have to fear?

"Heh, then I'd like to see who dares touch my Chu Family."

Just then, a voice echoed all around them, its source unknown.

The Chu Family's third young master?

Heard before he was seen?

Lin Hao did not think he could pull off something like that, but strength could not be judged by such things.

At the outer sect tournament and in the Green Willow Mystic Realm, he had built up genuine foundations.

In the distance, the Chu Family's third young master slowly emerged.

Lin Hao immediately relaxed quite a bit.

He had merely walked out rather than flown over or suddenly appeared.

His cultivation was limited. That was good news.

"I've heard that the Chu Family's third young master has committed countless evils—murder, arson, robbery, and plunder. I shall seek justice for the common people."

Narrowing his eyes at the third young master, Lin Hao took the moral high ground and pointedly lectured him.

Then his body began to move rapidly.

With a single stride spanning several paces, he charged toward the Chu Family's third young master.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard. There had originally been more plot to act out, but it now had to be put on hold.

He gave the Chu Family no chance to speak.

Just one palm strike!

That single strike made the Chu Family's third young master spit out blood and sent him flying.

Fortunately, several bushes caught him, so he did not hit the ground too painfully.

What had just happened?

The Chu Family's third young master was completely dumbfounded.

That wasn't right!

The script was not supposed to go like this, and neither were the lines!

According to the plot, he should have had several mocking lines first, then ridiculed the Lin Family from the standpoint of righteousness.

Only afterward was he supposed to propose a fight.

Where were his lines?

Where was his screen time?

Where had it all gone?

What the hell?

Why was there blood too?!

"So weak?"

Lin Hao had only intended to test the other man's cultivation, so he had not struck very hard.

Yet even so, he had been sent flying and ended up in such a state?

You call this a cultivator?

Had he only just begun refining qi?

His old man was completely unreliable. For this useless bastard, he had even made him personally take action.

The plot had been thrown into disarray.

The other extras did not know how they were supposed to continue acting either.

The Chu Family head stood in place, his expression somewhat awkward as he looked at the Lin Residence master.

He seemed to be asking, what now?

In the director's room.

There was complete silence.

Several voices broke the stillness.

"Could Lin Hao have actually mastered it?"

"Probably not. If he had really mastered it, Yi Changge wouldn't have kicked him away with one kick, and he wouldn't have only beaten this young idol into such a state."

"As expected, we still can't hire young idols. Their physical condition is just too poor."

"What do we do next?"

"You're asking me? Are you the planner, or am I the planner?"

Looking at the Chu Family's third young master sprawled in the bushes, Lin Hao lost all interest.

Boring.

"You all carry on. This Chu Family is nothing much after all."

Lin Hao shook his head. He did not want to keep fighting. He had thought they would be formidable, but it was boring. Truly boring.

The Lin and Chu Families were still locked in confrontation.

No one spoke. They were all waiting for instructions from the production crew.

After roughly three seconds of silence, the Lin Residence master gave the order, and a chaotic battle immediately began.

The sounds of all kinds of cold weapons rang out. Blades flashed, swords clashed, and blood splattered everywhere.

Lin Hao did not remain there. Instead, he wandered off toward the streets.

Without the support of the Chu Family's third young master, the Chu Family was no match for the Lin Family at all.

"Defend the Chu Family to the death!"

"Lin Family, you will suffer retribution!"

"My Chu Family refuses to accept this! We refuse!"

"Kill!"

The extras began showing off their dialogue and action skills, portraying the image of loyal servants.

Blood dyed the ground red, and many corpses lay scattered across it.

It was tragic—exceptionally tragic!

After this battle alone, the Chu Family would naturally be erased from Falling Cloud City!

And the Lin Family's fierce reputation would further intimidate the entire city.

Of course, no one could actually die in this scene.

The blood was all animal blood, and some of the people lying on the ground nearly fell asleep.

Everyone had a great time fighting.

The audience enjoyed watching as well.

Except for Lin Hao and that young idol.

For three consecutive days.

The Lin Residence continued eliminating the Chu Family's remaining forces, finally erasing the Chu Family completely on the third day.

For a time, Falling Cloud City was gripped by fear.

For the first time, Lin Hao experienced what it meant to belong to a great clan.

What it meant to live the life of a spoiled young master.

He lived at home for an entire month.

During that time, he also visited Jin Ling'er's father as she had requested and told him about life in the sect.

Honestly, he truly felt more at ease here than in the sect.

In the sect, people would occasionally disturb his cultivation, while at home, only one father disturbed him each day.

His cultivation time was simply absurdly long.

There was no place like home.

At this rate, he would break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining in a few more days.

Unfortunately, the sect's deadline was only a few days away. He had to leave, and he had to return to the sect.

A month could be considered long, but to cultivators, it was nothing much.

For example, the Azure Mountain Sect's sect master.

Gu Yuan's talent had truly moved him to tears.

Though he was no longer young, his cultivation was not low at all.

Middle-stage Foundation Establishment!

He had broken through from early-stage Foundation Establishment to middle-stage Foundation Establishment in just over a month!

That speed was truly fast.

As for the First Elder and Second Elder of the inner sect, both had also broken through to the great perfection of Qi Refining. They were just one step away from entering Foundation Establishment.

Among the rest, aside from the few people Gu Yuan had most recently enlightened, even the weakest were at the late stage of Qi Refining.

There were more and more cultivators, and their number had already reached twenty-three. There were the most elders, followed by inner sect disciples.

If Gu Yuan had not used his energy to break through to the middle stage of Golden Core, their numbers would likely have exceeded fifty.

The energy consumption was too fast. The Cangyuan World was still not cultivating diligently enough.
