Chapter 71: So That's the Strength of the Main Clan?
[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained: Earth-Grade Spiritual Treasure – Soul-Suppressing Bell!]
[Ding! You touched Fire Python Tiger Xiao Yan and obtained: High-Grade Spiritual Treasure – Xuanlight Armor!]
A high-grade spiritual treasure… and an Earth-grade one!
Hearing the rewards from his casual touches, Lin Fan was instantly delighted.
With a thought, detailed descriptions of the two treasures appeared in his mind.
Soul-Suppressing Bell – A spiritual-type treasure that guards the sea of consciousness. It can emit a ringing chime to disrupt and damage the spirit and soul of enemies!
Xuanlight Armor – Primarily defends against Yuan Power attacks. It can shift size according to the wearer's physique. Once equipped, even Yuan Dan Realm cultivators can withstand full-force attacks from the Form Creation Realm, and it even offers some defense against the Manifestation and Creation Realms!
Now that's what I call treasure!
Lin Fan was inwardly thrilled but didn't show it on his face.
"Oh right, I got three more Yin-Yang Pills recently. They're not of much use to me now, so here's one for you."
As Lin Dong was about to leave, Lin Fan stopped him and handed him a pill.
"Thanks, Brother Lin Fan," Lin Dong accepted it without hesitation, knowing Lin Fan still had more.
Lin Fan smiled. "Train hard. When the Lin Clan Assembly arrives, let them see—we branch families have power too!"
"Mm!" Lin Dong nodded heavily, then bid farewell to Lin Fan and Qingtan and returned to his room.
That evening, after dinner with the family, Lin Fan gave the remaining two Yin-Yang Pills to Lin Xiao.
At first, Lin Xiao refused, but upon learning Lin Fan no longer needed them, he accepted—deeply moved.
Before Lin Fan returned to his own quarters, Lin Dong gave him a refined medicinal pill made from the Demonic Blood Vermilion Fruit. Lin Fan accepted it gratefully.
Over the next few days, Lin Fan didn't train intensively.
He took time to relax—wandering the city with Qingtan, occasionally guiding the younger generation's cultivation. Life was peaceful.
After taking the Vermilion Fruit pill, Lin Dong successfully broke through to the Small Perfection Yuan Dan Realm.
But he didn't stop there. He immediately followed up with the Yin-Yang Pill and resumed intense training.
Part of it was because he saw the gap between himself and Lin Fan.
Another part—he was determined to one day step onto the clan assembly stage and wash away his father's humiliation once and for all!
That day, after finishing his own training, Lin Fan once again visited the family's training field and offered guidance to the clan's juniors.
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out from the entrance.
"So this is what the branch family has been reduced to? Leaving martial instruction to a boy still wet behind the ears? No wonder you've failed to rejoin the main clan after all these years."
The Lin family juniors were furious. All heads turned toward the voice.
Lin Fan raised a brow and looked over.
At the entrance stood four well-dressed young men, all sneering as they stared at Lin Fan and the juniors.
No need to ask—clearly, they were from the Lin Clan's main family.
"This is our Lin family's training ground. Who let you in?"
One of the juniors stepped up and shouted angrily.
"Hah! The Lin family's grounds? We come and go as we please. Even if Lin Zhentian were here, he wouldn't dare say a word."
One of the men laughed dismissively.
The others followed with mocking jeers.
Lin Fan said flatly, "So all members of the main clan are gossipy fools like you?"
The four men's faces darkened instantly.
"Daring to insult the Lin Clan's main branch? Insolent! I'll teach you your place!"
The blue-robed youth in the lead barked coldly,
"Lin Qiang, teach him a lesson!"
"Yes, Brother Lin Feng!"
The burly young man named Lin Qiang stepped forward with a shout.
He lunged at Lin Fan, palms charged with powerful Yuan Power, and struck fiercely.
Lin Fan simply shook his head—and casually slapped a palm forward.
Boom!
A dull impact echoed across the training ground.
Lin Qiang was sent flying backward, tumbling to the ground.
He staggered back seven or eight steps before managing to stop—then coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Impossible?!"
Lin Feng and the others were stunned. Their expressions changed drastically.
"Brother Lin Fan is amazing!"
The Lin family juniors erupted in cheers.
Lin Fan glanced at the three remaining men and said indifferently,
"Teach me a lesson? Is this what you brought?"
"Don't get cocky!"
Furious, Lin Feng charged at Lin Fan, Yuan Power surging. His fist gleamed with brilliant Pure Yuan Gang Qi as he punched out!
"Hmph."
Lin Fan snorted, unleashing a terrifying wave of spiritual pressure!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In an instant, all four men dropped to their knees, unable to resist the crushing pressure!
"So this is the strength of the main clan?"
Lin Fan looked down at the kneeling group, his tone calm and cold.
"Such terrifying spiritual power!"
The four men were shaken to their core.
A mere branch disciple… how could he possess such overwhelming power?
Lin Feng struggled desperately to rise—but couldn't move.
The others had no strength left to resist.
With a thought, Lin Fan summoned four palm-sized short swords, which hovered at each man's throat.
Feeling the icy cold of the blades, their hearts pounded wildly in terror.
"What… what do you want?!" Lin Feng stammered.
"You came to teach me a lesson, didn't you? So now you ask what I want?"
Lin Fan tilted his head slightly, his tone still calm.
Gulp...
Lin Feng swallowed hard, unable to answer.
"Still think I'm unqualified to teach martial arts?" Lin Fan asked casually.
"No! No complaints!" the three others answered immediately.
Lin Feng hesitated, then shamefully added, "No complaints."
"Still feel like teaching me a lesson?" Lin Fan asked again.
"No, absolutely not!" they chorused.
"No?" Lin Fan's eyes narrowed. The swords edged closer.
"No! Not even a thought!" the four cried out in panic.
"Then get lost."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Fan withdrew the swords and sent the four flying out of the training ground with a blast of Pure Yuan Gang Qi.
Feeling the terrifying force, the four men were deeply shaken.
How could such a monster come from a branch family?!
Lin Fan watched them leave, then calmly turned back to continue instructing the juniors.
Now, their eyes were filled with even greater worship and awe.
"Lin Fan! Grandpa wants you in the main hall!"
Not long after, Lin Xia came running up, panting as she called out.
"Got it," Lin Fan replied calmly and took the lead toward the main hall.
