Chapter 145: Heaven-Defying Great Perfection!

  "Second brother, what do you think?" Gan Hong looked at Wu Song, the second leader of the Yellow River Gang, who was sitting beside him. Wu Song lightly tapped the armrest of his chair and said, "It's impossible for Lin Tian to deal with our entire Yellow River Gang, which has nearly a thousand people. However, this time, many Jianghu friends will come, and some of them may harbor resentment towards us. If they become agitated, we might be at a disadvantage due to our smaller numbers. Let's gather all the members of the gang as Nine Rings suggested, big brother. Also, distribute the batch of crossbows obtained from the military last time to some core brothers. If someone tries to stir up trouble, let them have no way back!" A ruthless glint flashed in Wu Song's eyes!

  Even if you're a top-notch martial artist, facing a large number of strong and powerful crossbow arrows isn't something that can be easily withstood. Even if you manage to survive the crossbow arrows, you'll still have to face nearly a thousand people from the Yellow River Gang. That kind of scene is enough to make one feel hopeless! Gan Hong hesitated for a moment: "Second Brother, those crossbow arrows are military supplies. If we use them carelessly, I'm afraid it will attract unwanted attention!"

  Wu Song laughed and said, "Big brother, what kind of people are we? Are we afraid of others' gossip? As long as the power is in our hands, let them say whatever they want. We won't lose a single hair!" "Haha, that's right! Nine Rings, pass down the order: all brothers must return to the gang within two days. Let all those outside come back and have fun!" Gan Hong shouted loudly.

  Jiu Huan hastily said, "Yes, I will hand it over immediately!" Wu Song calmly said, "Jiu Huan, you are injured now, take good care of your wounds for a while. Although you lost many brothers this time, the enemy was too strong and it's not your fault. When you recover, there will be another chance to use you." Jiu Huan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Second Master! I will definitely do my best to complete all tasks!"

  Jiu Huan left, and Wu Song's face suddenly sank. "Old Second, are you worried about Lin Tian?" Gan Hong asked. Wu Song nodded: "Just now I said it lightly, but in my heart, I actually have a bad premonition. Big Brother, you know that my premonitions are usually very accurate, so I'm a bit worried. That Lin Tian hasn't been active in the Jianghu for half a year, what is he doing? We don't know anything about it, and it's unsettling!" Gan Hong chuckled: "Old Second, maybe you're feeling tense because many martial arts friends have come this time. As you said, one Lin Tian can't turn the tide of heaven. In these six months, I think he went to cultivate his internal energy. Regarding the North Ming Divine Art, I know a thing or two. Although it can quickly absorb a large amount of internal energy, because the internal energy is too complex, there will inevitably be danger. If one is not careful, it could lead to a catastrophic outcome like exploding and dying!"

  Wu Song nodded his head: "I hope nothing unexpected happens, to be honest, I'm very satisfied with my current life. Women, wealth, power, everything is plentiful, and my strength has been increasing rapidly with the support of many rare treasures. Last time's thousand-year-old snow ginseng increased my internal energy cultivation by at least seven or eight years. Big brother, your strength should have also improved a lot, right?"

  Gan Hong smiled and nodded: "It should be over 70 years of internal power cultivation, these years of searching have not been in vain. If it were just honest practice, I'm afraid it would only be around 30 or 40 years of internal power cultivation! But three-tenths of the income has gone into Lord Jia's pocket, which is a bit unpleasant!" "Big brother, this is necessary," said Wu Song. "If Lord Jia hadn't played a role in the imperial court, we would have been eliminated by the officials or some large forces long ago! However, after eating our food, one day he will spit it all out without leaving anything behind!"

  ……

  Lin Tian did not rush to Happy Town, but instead rode slowly on the snowy road, admiring the scenery. "Master, in six more hours it will be dark, and you can also upgrade your strength again," Xiao Ling's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Tian's mind!

  Boosting his strength! Lin Tian's heart suddenly became hot with excitement! A Heaven-grade Great Perfection, compared to a Heaven-grade Initial Stage, was much more powerful. A master of the Heaven-grade Great Perfection could easily handle ten or so Heaven-grade Initial Stage existences without any major issues. His strength had increased by over tenfold in an instant, how could Lin Tian not be delighted!

  "Haha!" Lin Tian burst out laughing, startling the birds in the nearby bushes to fly away quickly. "I'll increase my strength and head back to Happy Town again, giving them more time to gather their men!" Lin Tian thought to himself, "Little Spirit, do you think the Yellow River Gang will gather people? If they run away, I'd be too lazy to chase after them everywhere!"

  "Master, the probability of the entire Yellow River Gang gathering is 42%, the probability of gathering more than half of them is 88%, and the probability of the leader being in Happy Town is 95%." Xiaoling said. Lin Tian was shocked: "Xiaoling, you can't be wrong, there are many people in the Yellow River Gang, how can the probability of them all gathering to deal with me alone be as high as 42%?!"

  Xiao Lingdao said, "Master, that's because the Huanghe Gang has offended too many people. They're afraid. Master, haven't you noticed that we've encountered more martial artists recently? They're not from the Huanghe Gang, but rather they're rushing to the Huanghe Gang to watch the excitement. Of course, if the Huanghe Gang is easy to bully, those people will definitely not mind kicking them while they're down!" Lin Tian nodded in understanding and urged his horse forward onto a small path. This path could also lead to Huanle Town, but it would take much longer. Lin Tian didn't want to meet too many Jianghu figures just yet, so he chose this smaller road.

  Six hours passed quickly, night fell, Lin Tian Sheng lit a fire, sat cross-legged in front of the fire heap, enjoying the warmth that spread throughout his body, every cell in his body was getting stronger, cellular vitality and strength were rapidly increasing, spiritual power was also crazily enhanced under the effect of the warm current!

  Originally, Lin Tian couldn't feel that intangible spiritual power, but now he gradually had a little feeling. In the sea of consciousness, a seemingly real and illusory spiritual line appeared, constantly swirling around, and each swirl seemed to become more solid!

  Although his eyes were closed, everything within 500 meters seemed to be seen with his own eyes and was reflected in Lin Tian's mind. The feeling that everything was under control was really great!

  Strength, immense strength filled Lin Tian's body, making him feel as if he could punch through the earth with one fist. Uh, this was just a temporary fantasy born from Lin Tian's sudden increase in power and his inability to grasp it properly!

  Twenty minutes, a full twenty minutes, and this time's ascension finally ended! His entire body was filled with power, Lin Tian had an unutterable feeling, using force to push off the ground, the powerful force actually sent him rocketing up into the air about forty or fifty meters high. "Damn it, I haven't even used my full strength yet!" Lin Tian's heart was filled with excitement at the same time, but he was also dissatisfied with his current control over his power. He had originally planned to jump twenty meters high, but the result was actually twice what he had imagined. If such a mistake were to occur in battle, it would be a huge problem!

  Imagine you wanted to rush up to someone's face two meters away, but you used too much force and suddenly crashed onto the knife they were holding out flat, uh, that would be really tragic!

  In mid-air, Lin Tian stretched his body to the limit, and his entire skeleton crackled with a crisp sound. "Ah!" Lin Tian let out a long laugh, and slapped a giant tree that would take three or four people to hug with one palm. The thick power was like a surging tide, rushing straight down, and the 20-30 meter tall giant tree was actually shaken by Lin Tian's palm, leaving only a 4-5 meter high bare tree trunk!

  All the leaves, branches and bark were shattered into pieces by Lin Tian's palm. He added a flying technique to himself and slowly descended onto the ground, looking at the bare tree trunks. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, the Heaven-level Great Perfection is indeed incredible! This palm only used 80% of my strength, and I still had trouble controlling it. I estimate that I only managed to exert half of my actual power. If I were to unleash my full potential, it would be unimaginable! The masters of the Heaven-level Great Perfection are probably even stronger than the great demon mages!"

  Tusu had already run far away when Lin Tian was still in mid-air, and since Lin Tian wasn't facing Tusu's direction, Tusu didn't notice anything. When he saw that Lin Tian seemed a bit anxious, he hurriedly ran back to Lin Tian's side! Lin Tian wanted to pat Tusu's horse head, but hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his hand: "Alright, go play on your own, I still have to deal with who-knows-how-much trouble!"

  Lin Tian was by the Yellow River, where he could hear the sound of waves. He thought for a moment, "Well, since I'm by the Yellow River, I shouldn't waste this resource!" Lin Tian chuckled and flashed his body, instantly appearing tens of meters away, heading towards the riverbank!

  The rolling Yellow River, where the rapids are abundant. Lin Tian arrived at the riverbank and saw that the rapids didn't seem to scare him like ordinary people would be; instead, he revealed a joyful expression. He took off his outer clothes, and Lin Tian was left wearing only a pair of four-cornered briefs. With a burst of force from his feet, his body shot out like an arrow, flying over a hundred meters before plunging into the rolling waters of the Yellow River!

  Spring, in the north, the water was still very icy cold. With Lin Tian's cultivation, he naturally didn't care about this and muttered a low curse, "Damn, the water is really cold!" before immersing himself in his own power.

  Being in the river, Lin Tian naturally didn't worry about causing any destruction. He either punched or slapped his palm or kicked his legs to feel the new power he had gained! The Yellow River's water was originally murky, and with Lin Tian stirring it up, it became even more like muddy water. This wasn't very pleasant, but in order to quickly adapt to the power, this little bit of unpleasantness was still worth it!

  The water was rushing, Lin Tian stood on a protruding rock, the rock was half a meter away from the water surface. Lin Tian stood on it, just exposing his chest and above. Constantly striking out with his palms, Lin Tian had to ensure that he used just the right amount of force to repel the waves and undercurrents that were attacking him one after another!

  At first, his strength was either too great or too small. When it was great, the river water would be shocked by his incredible strength and flow backwards. When it was small, the waves or undercurrents would sweep his unsteady body off the rock!

  If it were someone else, even a top-notch master of the Heavenly Round, they wouldn't be able to squander their internal energy like Lin Tian does. However, Lin Tian is different; his recovery speed is twenty times that of others. He doesn't consider consumption at all, only whether the power he uses conforms to his own will!

  He didn't know how many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of palms he had waved, when Lin Tian felt that his control over the palm force was already very good, a whole day had passed! The palm force was well controlled, but the footwork hadn't been practiced much. Lin Tian jumped out of the water and made a move with Lingbo Weibu, walking on the surface of the water with Lingbo Weibu!

  His strength was out of control, and when Lin Tian started, he often found himself in a situation where the water didn't even reach his knees. If he told others it was the "Lingbo Micro Step", they would probably laugh to death. Lin Tian couldn't bear to lose face, so he practiced with all his might, forgetting about the passage of time and the fact that the Zhou family's ancestral worship had already ended in the real world.

  The ancestor worship ceremony ended, and Zhou Yao naturally went to find Lin Tian everywhere. However, Lin Tian was currently in the world of Dragon Tiger Eight Parts, so where could she be found?! Unable to find him, and unable to call him, Zhou Yao became anxious and tearful, even running to her father's place to beg for help in finding him, but the result was still that he couldn't be found!

  When Lin Tian practiced until he could tread on ripples without any issues and could even take steps in mid-air for a short period of time, another whole day had passed!

  Back on the shore, he put on his clothes and suddenly heard a growling noise from his stomach. Lin Tian exclaimed: "Damn it, I'm in trouble! It's been two days already! Yao'er must be worried sick! And to make matters worse, with my increased powers, I can see everything day and night!"

  Quickly, Lin Tian pulled Tuo Xue into a cave, "Be good, Tuo Xue, and wait quietly here for a while!" After saying that, Lin Tian quickly returned to the Star Ring space and then immediately came back to the real world again!

  Zhou Yao was sobbing quietly in the room where Lin Tian was, her eyes were red from crying. Lin Tian suddenly appeared and scared her, but immediately after, she threw herself into his arms and burst out crying: "Little Lin, you, I..."

  Lin Tian gently patted Zhou Yao's back: "Yao'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let you worry!"

  Zhou Yao cried and cried, and eventually fell asleep. Last night, she hadn't closed her eyes the whole time, searching the entire Zhou household for Lin Tian. Lin Tian carried Zhou Yao to bed, covered her with a quilt, and looking at Zhou Yao's tear-stained red eyes, he felt his own eyes getting moist too!

  "Silly girl, I'm a big flirt, am I worth it?" Lin Tian gently stroked Zhou Yao's lovely face and sighed, his energy transformed into a warm current that flowed into Zhou Yao's body, dispelling her fatigue. Zhou Yao's eyes, which had been crying until they were red, also returned to normal under the effect of Lin Tian's energy.
