laugh...
A faint sound broke the silence.
Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a silver line appear on the spiritual energy shield around Lin Xiao.
At the same time, the longsword that Lin Xiao was holding in front of him also had a silver line on it, which broke in two and fell to the ground.
After a few breaths, Lin Xiao took a deep breath.
"Excellent, excellent. With your current strength, you are unmatched within the Gold Realm."
"I have only recently broken through to a higher level and still need to consolidate my cultivation, so I won't say any more to you."
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Lin An raised an eyebrow. He clearly saw that the other person also had a silver line on their chest, only it wasn't deep.
"It seems that if I were to unleash my full power, I would already have the strength to kill Platinum," Lin An thought to himself, after all, he hadn't even used his One Saber Slash yet.
But Lin An was not arrogant; he knew very well that this was because Lin Xiao was merely standing on the defensive.
If the opponent also launches an attack, he won't even have a chance to swing his sword.
Even if he had the chance to unleash this strike, Platinum Realm expert could already fly through the air, making it easy for them to dodge his attack.
Even so, the power of the Spirit Mark gave him a pleasant surprise, at least leaving him with no ability to resist when facing Platinum Realm expert.
After saying goodbye to Qian Hai and the others, Lin An went back to cultivate.
Although his Spirit Mark were powerful, that last strike had completely depleted them, and he needed some time to condense new Spirit Mark.
On the other side.
Lin Xiao returned to his room.
His previously calm expression began to shift, and he simultaneously lifted his clothes.
Beneath the clothes, there was a soft armor.
At this moment, there was also a faint silver line on the soft armor.
"Luckily, I was careful and didn't take off this soft armor, otherwise this kid would have lost his father at a young age."
Lin Xiao muttered to himself, feeling a pang of regret; he really shouldn't have been so stubborn.
Upon feeling the power of that strike, he knew in his heart that he might not be able to withstand it.
If he wanted to, it would be easy for him to dodge.
But considering that he was Platinum Realm expert and also for the sake of his father's dignity, he did not shy away from the fray.
And then it turned out like this; almost everyone was gone.
"Where did this kid learn his tricks?"
"Luckily, I was wearing Platinum Rank soft armor, otherwise the City Lord's Residence would be hosting a banquet by now."
Although he said that, Lin Xiao was still very happy that his son was so powerful.
Judging from his son's performance, he will surely surpass his own achievements in the future.
"Let's consolidate our cultivation first, and then we'll deal with those guys in Black Mountain."
"Once An'er breaks through to Platinum rank, we can send her to the Upper City."
"Next year seems to be the Triennial Heavenly Pride Tournament of Prodigies. If An'er shines in the competition, she might have a chance to go to the Royal City."
The thought of the royal city darkened Lin Xiao's eyes.
He never intended to leave Lin An in Shenglin City.
After learning about the other party's extraordinary talent, he understood that Shenglin City could not keep him.
Sooner or later, the other party will leave Shenglin City and venture into a wider world.
He just hadn't expected this day to come so soon.
"It's good to go out and explore."
Lin Xiao stopped thinking about it. He wasn't the kind of person who was prone to melancholy, and besides, Lin An hadn't left yet.
Lin Xiao immediately returned to his quiet room and began to consolidate his cultivation.
The City Lord's Residence fell silent once more.
However, the movements at the City Lord's Residence have always been being watched.
When they saw the City Lord's Residence's personal guards mobilized, the City Lord's Residence was placed under martial law.
Furthermore, many people felt the terrifying pressure as they approached the City Lord's Residence, which immediately sparked a lot of speculation.
"That oppressive aura is definitely not something Gold Realm expert could exude. Even the old city lord, who was already Gold Ninth Grade expert, never released such a terrifying oppressive aura."
"It seems the City Lord has broken through again, reaching the legendary Platinum Realm."
"How is this possible? For hundreds of years, although the Lin Family descendants have cultivated at an extremely fast pace, apart from the founding ancestor, the other Lin Family have at most reached the Gold Ninth Grade."
"Over the years, successive city lords have been searching for a way to break through the constraints, and it seems that the current city lord has already found it."
"Don't forget about the young city lord. His cultivation speed is more terrifying than any previous city lord. This matter might be related to the young city lord."
"..."
Rumors and speculations abounded in Shenglin City, but upon hearing the news, the entire city's residents were extremely excited.
Their ancestors had lived in Shenglin City for eighteen generations, and they knew that their current peaceful life was all thanks to the protection of the city lord.
Now that the city lord has become stronger again, it also means that they are safer.
After receiving this news, the three major families, though unsure of its veracity, understood that the "Lin" in Shenglin City still referred to the Lin Family.
They had already given up the idea of resisting, so even if the rumors were true, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them.
Besides, now that their sons have actively joined the garrison, the city lord, with his magnanimity, will not hold them accountable.
He simply ordered the clan members to abide by the rules to avoid bringing trouble to the family.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin An also opened his eyes; the Spirit Mark he had used up three days ago were now replenished.
"I should remind my cheapskate father that he's heading to Black Mountain."
Lin An would not be at ease until the Sin Beast in the Black Mountain were dealt with.
Now that Lin Xiao has broken through to the Platinum Realm, dealing with him sooner will allow him to cultivate in peace.
Thinking it over, Lin An walked out of the courtyard and found Lin Xiao.
