Chapter 69 - Bringing Shame Upon Oneself

  The true yuan inside Lin Yuan's body suddenly became violent, like a fire that was rampaging through his body. Every place it reached, there was a scorching heat that seemed to burn everything in its path.

  After a while, the numbness and scorching heat became more and more intense, gradually turning into pain. The skin's surface was as if it had been roasted, like countless ants biting into flesh.

  Lin Yuan clearly understood that this was the limit of the power of the sun.

  Lin Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly changed the circulation route of the true yuan within his body, following the circulation route recorded in the Taishang Yuanshi Scripture.

  At the moment of true yuan change, the power of the sun between heaven and earth disappeared, replaced by the lingering yin energy after dawn, like a thin silk thread. These cold yin energies poured into Lin Yuan's body through his pores, greedily seeping into his skin, finally gathering in his dantian, while another part tempered his body.

  At this time, the heat in Lin Yuan's body had not dissipated yet, and the sudden influx of cold air caused a destructive effect as ice and fire clashed. The pain from this instant was so intense that it was almost unbearable.

  The pain at this moment almost made Lin Yuan cry out.

  The Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing is an extremely mysterious and profound practice, and its difficulty in cultivation makes it unbearable for ordinary people. If one's will is not firm, they may collapse directly.

  However, the greater the price paid in the process of cultivation, the higher the final reward.

  Lin Yuan clenched his teeth and endured the unbearable pain that ordinary people could hardly withstand.

  About half an incense stick's time had passed.

  As the power of the sun and the power of yin continue to harmonize and blend, the fusion of yin and yang, that gnawing pain like bone marrow, finally slowly dissipated like a tide, replaced by an indescribable numbness and comfort, making people feel as if they are floating on air, as if they want to ride the wind back.

  Lin Yuan had been through this kind of situation countless times, and each time was like this. If it weren't for the short duration, Lin Yuan really couldn't hold on.

  At the moment when Lin Yuan's true yuan dissipated, his body surface, a strand of blue true yuan gradually hid under the surface.

  Linyuan was also unclear why his true yuan would be like this, but Linyuan was clear that some people who practiced special techniques had true yuan of different colors in their bodies. It's just that Linyuan's cultivation of the Taishangyuan Scripture unexpectedly resulted in blue-colored true yuan, and it even had a connection with the Biyu Pearl within his body.

  Lin Yuan cultivates the Taishang Yuanshi Scripture every morning at the intersection of Taiyin and Taiyang. At first glance, his body seems to have undergone no changes, but upon closer inspection, one can discover that Ding Hao's skin has become even more refined, radiating a jade-like quality under the sunlight, exuding an aura of explosive power and strength.

  If you look closely, even Lin Yuan's temperament is changing bit by bit.

  After finishing his morning training, Lin Yuan prepared to train in sword techniques. The Broken Sky Sword Manual he had obtained from the Martial Skills Pavilion had not yet been trained, and last night he had only comprehended its skills.

  Jiuxi Jiuxi Zhao, this is impossible for Lin Yuan to cultivate successfully in a short period of time. However, for the small achievement of Potian Sword Intent, Lin Yuan believes that his guess and understanding of sword intent from last night, plus his own comprehension, half a month's time is enough to grasp the small achievement.

  "Huh? Someone's here?" Just as Lin Yuan was about to go back inside and tidy up before starting his cultivation, a group of people entered from outside.

  Just as Lin Yuan furrowed his brow, the large gate of his courtyard was suddenly smashed open by a massive force, and the entire wooden door was instantly slammed towards him.

  "Hiss!" A true yuan finger flashed over, Lin Yuan made his move, directly cutting the wooden door in half with his true yuan.

  "Are you Lin Yuan?" A rough and violent voice couldn't hide the anger in his eyes, stopping directly in front of Lin Yuan and staring at him furiously.

  "Shixiong, it's him, he is Lin Yuan." Before Lin Yuan could respond, a familiar voice reached his ears.

  "It's you, Chen Ming." Lin Yuan said furiously.

  Even if Lin Yuan was stupid, he knew what had happened, and it was clear that this was a deliberate provocation.

  Lin Yuan never thought that Chen Minghui was such a martial arts fanatic. After losing to him last time, he didn't come looking for him for so many days. He didn't expect to see him today, and what's more, he even brought helpers.

  The day after tomorrow, in the ninth layer of the later period, this person's realm was actually one level higher than Chen Ming.

  "Lin Yuan, aren't you arrogant? You don't put our Northern Academy in your eyes at all. This time, Zhang Wang Shixiong has returned from his training, and it's precisely to teach you a lesson." Chen Ming's gaze towards Lin Yuan was filled with resentment, even jealousy.

  It should have been his own show, but all of it was taken by Lin Yuan. His own ranking also fell to sixty because of Lin Yuan.

  Chen Ming went back and thought of a way to deal with Lin Yuan. Just then, Zhang Wang came back and added fuel to the fire by telling Chen Ming to find trouble with Lin Yuan.

  Lin Yuan had always looked down on Chen Ming, thinking he was arrogant and self-aggrandizing, but now she realized he was also despicable and shameless.

  "Are you going to take responsibility for him?" Lin Yuan said in a low voice, his eyes never looking at Chen Ming, but instead focusing on Zhang Wang across from them.

  "Arrogance will have to pay the price!" Zhang Wang, opposite Lin Yuan, said in a low voice: "Since the Southern Institute looks down on us Northern Institute, let me see what kind of disciples the Southern Institute has, and what this little guy ranked 54th on the ranking monument is all about."

  Lin Yuan heard what Zhang Wang said and fell silent.

  Since he has said so much, there is no need to say more. Obviously, this young master also understands the cause of the matter, but as a disciple of Beiyuan, he has come to provoke.

  "Haha, scared now? If you're scared, then quickly kneel down and apologize to us Beiyuan. You actually dare to compete with us Beiyuan, the guts of you Nanquan people are really big." A disciple behind Zhang Forgetful spoke out of turn.

  Everyone's gaze was focused on Lin Yuan at this moment.

  If Lin Yuan really knelt down and apologized, he would truly lose face, not to mention there were so many Northern Academy disciples present.

  However, Zhang forgot looked at the person behind him and said, but there was no expression, still looking in the direction of Lin Yuan, apparently, he acquiesced.

  Lin Yuan suddenly moved his feet, let out a cold hum, and turned around to walk towards the disciples of the Northern Courtyard in big strides.

  A gentle breeze caresses his face, the hem of his clothes fluttering at the edge of the forest. His complexion is elegant and refined, with a majestic stride that seems to embody the power of a tiger and the grandeur of a dragon. Amidst the flowing clouds and water, there is an aura of warmth and elegance surrounding him.

  Everyone's gaze was instantly fixed on Lin Yuan's body, and they felt that this young man had a strange and mysterious aura about him.

  This place is where Lin Yuan lives alone, and it's very remote. The disciples of the South Courtyard would never come here.

  This time, the Northern Institute disciples came to find trouble with Lin Yuan, and they had more than enough manpower, with seven or eight people, and even the weakest were at the Seventh Layer of the Acquired Realm.

  There were also two others who belonged to the Post-Heaven Nine Realms, Zhang Wang and Chen Ming. This lineup was not bad at all. However, they did not know that Lin Yuan had already reached the Half-Step Pre-Heaven Realm. In his eyes, these people were just a bunch of clowns.

  Lin Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his body came to a halt five meters in front of him.

  "A group of jumping clowns, humiliating themselves!" Lin Yuan didn't say anything at first, but as soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly turned upside down.
