Lin Ming made some preparations and began the process of inscribing the characters. Now, Lin Ming was increasingly skilled at inscribing these top-grade spirit patterns, but this time, because it was his first time inscribing a Human Stage upper-grade treasure's spirit pattern, the process was slightly slower. In total, he used half an hour to complete it.

  Seal, inscription, completed in one breath, nearly a hundred sparkling inscriptions condensed into a flame-shaped inscription on the hilt of the treasured sword.

  Zhang Guanyu held the treasured sword in his hand and tried it out, with true yuan infusing into it. Indeed, there was an increase of four tenths and three parts, and afterwards, the true yuan condensed into a technique of inscriptions, which also had extremely great might.

  "Haha, good sword!" Zhang Guanyu burst out laughing.

  "This Lin Ming is really an idiot, I'm truly eager to see what kind of expression and state he'll be in four months later when he's drinking hatred under the sword that he himself inscribed. I'll use this sword at the right opportunity to unleash the most vicious moves from 'He Huan Shen Gong', causing you severe injuries, even a huge drop in cultivation. Let's see how you pass the core disciple assessment of the Seven Profound Martial House!"

  However, Zhang Guanyu did not know that Lin Ming also had the same idea at this time. He looked at Zhang Guanyu displaying his Mingwen skills and sneered in his heart.

  "This Zhang Guanyu is really a fool, saving me a lot of effort. I'll just wait, four months later Zhang Guanyu will suffer a crushing defeat because of these two Ming Shen symbols. Unfortunately, Zhang Guanyu won't know why he lost, nor will he know how much the five-level fierce beast blood played a role. Otherwise, I'd love to see his expression. I'll use the cruelest moves from "Absolute Pulse" to make you not only have your meridians severed but also greatly reduce your sex drive. Let's see how you cultivate your "Harmony and Joy Skill" when facing women in the future."

  Although both of them were sinister in their thoughts, it was completely invisible on the surface, especially Zhang Guanyu, whose smile on his face was radiant to the extreme.

  "By the way, Mr. Lin. Previously, I seemed to have had some misunderstandings with Mr. Lin about Miss Lan Yunyue's matter. At that time, when I went to visit Miss Lan, Mr. Liao was too excited and misunderstood me."

  "Is that so? So that's how it is." Lin Ming sneered inwardly, he wanted to see what Zhang Guanyu had to say.

  "To be honest, I really admire Miss Lan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to visit her. However, when it comes to the girl I like, I've never used any underhanded tactics. It's all been a straightforward pursuit."

  Zhang Guanyu said up to here, a furious voice suddenly rang out, "Zhang Guanyu, are you still shameless!"

  Wang Yuhan's pure heart couldn't take it anymore, she now hated this hypocrite in front of her so much that she wished to kill him immediately.

  However, Zhang Guanyu's cultivation had already reached a certain realm. He completely ignored Wang Yuheng and continued to speak, "Hmmm, I heard that Mr. Lin likes to make bets when dueling with others. It was like this with Wang Yanfeng, and also with Zhang Cang. So, shouldn't we bet on something this time as well? How about this: among the materials needed by Mr. Lin, I happen to have one of them - Seven Star Rock. I'll use this to bet against Mr. Lin for Lan Miss's ownership?"

  "I lose, then the Seven Star Rock goes to Mr. Lin, and I will no longer disturb Miss Lan. I win, then the Seven Star Rock still belongs to Mr. Lin, but please don't interfere with Miss Lan's affairs again, Mr. Lin. Whether or not I can move Miss Lan's heart depends on my own abilities. In other words, regardless of winning or losing, the Seven Star Rock will be given to Mr. Lin, it's just that if Mr. Lin loses, then he should no longer interfere with Miss Lan's affairs, how about it?"

  "Can you win Lan Yunyue's heart with your own abilities?" Lin Ming sneered, turning around and around, Zhang Guanyu still wanted to use Lan Yunyue to crush his martial arts spirit, making him lose so badly in four months that he wouldn't be able to hold his head up.

  He sneered back at Zhang Guanyu, "Even if I'm certain to win you, I won't use a woman as a bet. Lan Yunyue is already unrelated to me, whoever she marries has nothing to do with me. If you're a decent person, pursuing Lan Yunyue would be fine, but since you're trying to get back at me by getting involved with Lan Yunyue, I won't just sit back and watch!"

  "I'm indeed short of a few materials, but without the Trade Federation, I wouldn't be unable to find them, it's just more troublesome, now you can get out!"

  At this point, Zhang Guanyu's face finally sank, "Heh! It seems you're sure to win me? Good! Very good!"

  "Zhang Guanyu, you think that after four months, I'll never be able to turn over again. How clever! I've also been thinking the same thing. At that time, let's see who makes the more ruthless move!"

  "Haha! Fine, since that's how it is, I'll see you in four months. You'll regret coming into this world!"

  Zhang Guanyu put away his long sword and left with a flick of his sleeve.

  Lin Ming nonchalantly took out a True Essence Stone to recover his true essence. At this time, Wang Yuheng couldn't help but say: "Mr. Lin, you're being too rash. Although the blood of a fifth-grade ferocious beast is hard to come by, it's not impossible to find. We can wait a few more days, but you've gone and helped Zhang Guanyu engrave a treasure sword with your inscription symbol. Even in the Holo Country, it would be difficult to find someone at the same level."

  "That Guan Yu, has been practicing the 'He Huan Shen Gong' for several months now. In these few months, he has already taken in dozens of women from the mansion. I don't know how much his strength has improved, Mr. Lin, you..."

  Wang Yuhan is deeply worried, this battle between Zhang Guanyu and Lin Ming will clearly be a fight to the death. If they lose, they will pay a terrible price. Zhang Guanyu has been famous for a long time and is cunning and ruthless. If anything happens to Lin Ming...

  Lin Ming smiled and said, "Miss Wang, please rest assured, I have a plan in mind."

  "But... I think..." Wang Yuhan didn't know how to continue, she found that although Lin Ming was constantly creating miracles, to the point where she herself had previously thought that nothing was impossible for Lin Ming, but when it came to a life-or-death duel involving Lin Ming's personal safety, Wang Yuhan still couldn't help but worry, fearing something would go wrong.

  "Thank you, Miss Wang, for your concern. Actually, if I really couldn't defeat Zhang Guanyu, I could still retreat unharmed. It's probably quiet this afternoon, so I'll head back first." Lin Ming now only accepted high-grade Mingwen symbols, and the rewards for these symbols were limited to the high-grade materials listed on the price list. As time went by, the types of materials became fewer and fewer, and the number of customers who could find them also decreased. Therefore, Lin Ming rarely received any orders in a day or two, and most of his time was spent cultivating.

  The time for cultivating the Wan Sha Formation was all used by Lin Ming to comprehend the intent of the wind.

  Lin Ming's current difficulty has only been upgraded from level 6 to level 7, but even so, he is still being smashed badly every day.

  Regarding this strange phenomenon, many people in the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture have already learned about it. The once-in-a-century genius of the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture entered the Crazy Wind Cave and only opened the seventh level of difficulty, but was thrown out with a swollen face and bruised nose. This kind of thing is really unbelievable!

  Some people who are jealous of Lin Ming say that his foundation is not solid and his base is unstable.

  However, people with this argument were immediately drowned out by Lin Ming's numerous fans. When has Lin Ming ever been unstable on the battlefield? Which eye of yours saw his lower body being unsteady?

  These fans firmly believe that Lin Ming is cultivating with a special method.

  But what special method is required to cultivate like this? Can't be explained, finally a little beauty who worships Lin Ming patted her plump chest and suddenly understood.

  "Lin is practicing his 'anti-strike' ability."

  Let the storm blow its own body, randomly colliding with rocks to practice "resistance" ability. It's amazing that this little beauty can come up with such an explanation, and it's hard not to admire her rich imagination.

  The remark was soon spread widely.

  Lin Ming could only smile wryly at this, he didn't want to be so showy either, but the situation of having a swollen face and bruises from falling in the wind tunnel couldn't be hidden. Even with the best healing medicine, it was impossible to instantly cure the bruising and wounds. He could only return to his residence covered in scars, then soak in a medicinal bath for an entire night to clear up the bruising and heal the internal injuries.

  However, people gradually found that the scars on Lin Ming's body were getting fewer and fewer, but his difficulty was getting higher and higher. Until a month later, Lin Ming opened the ninth level of difficulty. But after entering for several hours, he came out unscathed.

  For ordinary Tianyi Sect disciples, this is nothing. For someone like Lin Ming who has such a ranking, even the tenth level of difficulty is mostly unlocked.

  But Lin Ming's fans, however, took it for granted that Lin Ming was practicing his ability to withstand the wind's power inside, without using any true essence or **power to resist the wind's force, letting his body crash wildly against the rocky walls in the fierce gale, and yet still emerging unscathed - wasn't this a manifestation of his copper-headed iron-armed physique?

  Unbelievable, it's really like this, Lin Ming is probably immune to swords and guns now.

  But if it wasn't like this, why did Lin Ming only open nine levels of difficulty?

  "What are you guys talking about? Lin brother is inside, what's he doing? Only opening the 9th level of difficulty, if Lin brother were to exert his full strength to resist, this wind would be just a tickle."

  "I've already said that Lin is practicing his anti-strike skills, you don't believe me." The little girl who first proposed this theory hummed in dissatisfaction with others doubting her.

  "Even if Lin Shixiong's ability to withstand blows is strong, it can't be that exaggerated, right? He was blown by the level 9 gale and crashed into the wall, but nothing happened to him. That's not steel-reinforced bones, impervious to swords and guns!"

  "Hmph, what's this compared to Brother Lin? Have you forgotten how he once blocked Zhang Cang's sword with his bare hands?"

  "That was thanks to the 'Powdered Body Fist', wasn't it? Back then, Zhu Yan also lost to Lin Ming because of that."

  The disciple who spoke obviously knew a lot of things, and just then, another person interjected: "Have you guys noticed that Lin Shixiong now goes in and comes out wearing the same clothes? At most, there's only a little damage."

  "Huh?" With the third disciple's casual mention, the other two had a sudden realization. It turned out that Lin Ming wore the same clothes every time he went in and came out, which meant his clothes were only slightly damaged, so there was no need to change at all!

  To know, the difficulty of the Wind Cave reached level 9, ordinary disciples can rely on their true yuan and **power to resist the wind steadily, but because the wind speed is too fast, they will still be blown away with their clothes torn apart!
