Chapter 76: Victory and Defeat (Second Update Seeking Support)
Zhao Xuefeng's Hundred Flower Gun Technique has a total of one hundred gun strikes, but he can only use half of them at most. This is already quite remarkable, and it shows that his mental state is not comparable to ordinary mental states, with sufficient pure spiritual energy. Zhao Xuefeng has enough potential to break through to the Sky Level, because in order to break through the Sky Level, the most important factor is that one's own spiritual energy purity must reach a certain level. From Earth Level 1 to Earth Level 9, apart from the growth of spiritual energy and opening up all the acupoints in the body to strengthen the physical body, the main thing is to purify one's own spiritual energy step by step. The method of purifying spiritual energy is very simple, which is to compress it with a huge amount of spiritual energy, compressing it again and again to obtain pure spiritual energy. This is a water-mill-like kung fu, and in theory, as long as the lifespan is sufficient, all Earth Level cultivators can break through to the Sky Level.
But this kind of hard work is also divided into high and low efficiency, those with high efficiency can naturally succeed before their lifespan ends, while those with low efficiency may not have any hope of breakthrough in their lifetime.
These efficiencies are improved by qualifications, mind method and resources.
Lin Yue's expression was exceptionally serious, she could see that Zhao Xuefeng's move was a desperate one. She was very familiar with the Hundred Flowers Gun Technique, this flashy gun technique had a total of 100 styles, each style named after a flower, and each style stronger than the last. The first twenty styles belonged to the Earth-level martial skills that could be used, from the twentieth to forty-ninth style belonged to the martial skills between the Earth and Sky levels, and after the fiftieth style, the power reached the Sky-level martial skills. That was the true power of a Xuan-class martial skill.
"Life-taking Eight Styles, Sixth Style, Burial!" Lin Yueyin also used her ultimate move.
The two figures intersected and then separated, their movements simultaneously coming to a halt.
Only a few people in the audience saw the outcome.
Yang Tong was one of them, his eyes flickered for a moment, assessing his own strength. The conclusion he got was surprisingly even, if he went on stage, who won or lost would depend on the performance. Yang Tong sighed, his accumulation was still a bit less, but Yang Tong was not in a hurry, his focus did not need to be placed on improving his combat power yet.
Lin Yueyun's veil fell, revealing her beauty like a closed moon and bashful flower. Her body had many scars, the spiritual sword in her hand and Zhao Xuefeng's long spear were both damaged from the powerful impact that exceeded their limits, losing much of their might and requiring major repairs or re-refining.
Zhao Xuefeng's wound was not as many as Lin Yuanyin, but it was extremely severe. His abdomen was cut open by a sword and almost split in half.
The elders of the two big families appeared and treated their wounds for them.
"Zhao Shi Xiong, let's just call it a draw between the two of us for now. We can settle the score three years later." The leader of the Lin family said with a hypocritical smile.
"Alright, see you in three years." The elder of the Zhao family didn't look too good and after stabilizing Zhao Xuefeng's injuries, they left Kuixing Square directly.
"Hmph, no manners at all." A middle-aged man from the Lin family snorted.
"Alright, Third Brother, let's send the kid back home first and talk about it later. We still made a profit in the end, that Zhao family's young master was seriously injured after all." The leader of the Lin family said with a smile.
Indeed, although Lin Yueyin was badly injured, in reality, each wound wasn't severe, only Zhao Xuefeng's gunfire brought some inevitable burns, making him look extremely disheveled. Although the burns were difficult to treat, in fact, this world's medical standards were very advanced, buying a dose of fourth-grade medicine specifically for treating such injuries could restore him to his original state, not to mention burns, even wanting to leave scars was quite difficult.
Similarly, Zhao Xuefeng's injuries were a bit more severe, and his intestines almost fell out of his abdomen, but after taking a high-quality medicine, he wouldn't lose his life, only losing some of his vital energy.
The bustle has ended, and there's nothing more to see for Yang Tong. Just as he was about to leave, he happened to catch sight of a familiar face from the Lin family camp - Lin Jia Sheng. It was this person who had first made Yang Tong realize how treacherous human hearts could be, and the dangers of being taken advantage of by others. However, several years have passed since then, and Yang Tong has awakened to become an Earth-level powerhouse, while his opponent is still just a novice Ninth-level ordinary warrior.
Yang Tong is not a saint. The grudge of repaying kindness with enmity back then has been etched in his heart all along, it's just that he didn't dare to take revenge due to the Lin family's power.
The Lin and Zhao families are indeed a thousand-year-old family, the strength of both families is quite strong. Among the 17 people who came out of the Lin family, except for the 12 young people of the younger generation, the other five middle-aged people were all at the Earth level. And among the younger generation, Lin Yueyin didn't need to be said, another young man around 28 was also at the Earth level.
Yang Tong does not have the power to avenge himself yet, let's talk about it later. After all, a gentleman takes revenge ten years later is not too late.
Yang Tong's personality is mainly inherited from his past life. In his previous life, he was an orphan who was raised by an old Taoist priest from a young age and grew up in the Taoist temple. He had a strong and reserved personality, calm and wise, but also somewhat lonely and eccentric. He was well-versed in plum blossom divination and the I Ching, and thought he grasped the secrets of fate, with an air of pride that was hard to describe. In this life, he grew up in a happy family, his introverted personality improved, and his eccentricity also leaned towards the better side, but his pride became even stronger!
However, he who grew up in the Taoist temple since childhood has his own moral concept, which is completely different from the secular world. In terms of cultural influence, he leans towards the Taoist idea of non-action, so the pride in his character does not make Yang Tong become arrogant and domineering, but instead manifests as rational self-confidence and a strong sense of distinguishing between kindness and resentment. He repays kindness tenfold and seeks revenge a hundred times over. Lin Jia Sheng's mistake in repaying kindness almost got him killed, which makes Yang Tong furious with the entire Lin family.
Yang Tong thought, Lin Jia Sheng is worse than a pig or dog, he's doomed! Teaching out such a loser, the Lin family must take responsibility, they're also doomed! Similarly, it's not just Lin Jia Sheng, but two others are also the same.
Also, because of Yang Tong's rationality, when the strength comparison is vastly different, Yang Tong naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to rush forward and loudly seek revenge. Yang Tong now has a lifespan of 400 years, sufficient resources, inherited immortal methods, and Town Soul Copper Coins; all conditions for getting stronger are present, only lacking the accumulation and sedimentation of time.
Yang Tong quietly left with the crowd, probably even Lin Jia Sheng himself didn't know that he had already brought a terrible enemy to his family.
Back at school, Yang Tong went into the spiritual tool manufacturing room and after simulating an experiment, he started taking action with the materials. Yang Tong hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign and turned off all voice prompts and notifications in his dormitory.
Yang Tong exchanged 2,000 learning points for high-quality crystal stones and began repairing the furnace.
First, Yang Tong needs to add enough materials and repair the furnace body. This work is done in the spiritual tool manufacturing room using earth fire. The original broken furnace, under Yang Tong's divine control, merged with one fine material after another in the flames, slowly restoring its original appearance.
