Chapter 2257 Break
The Mad Monk glanced at the food in Yun Lintian's cell and said with a gloating smile, "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Boy, what crime did you commit? Did you steal someone's daughter? Why would they hate you so much?"
He was a poison expert and could tell the poison in the food aimed to cripple Yun Lintian's profound vein. No matter what kind of elixirs Yun Lintian used, they would be useless in removing the poison.
Yun Lintian remained silent. His mind raced, trying to guess Qian Shang's next plan. Without a doubt, he would be taken away when the competition ended. This would be his most vulnerable period, as everyone would be leaving the city. This meant he only had a few days left. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
"Are you hungry, boy? I can give you this piece of bread, but you have to dance for me." The Mad Monk laughed.
"Stop teasing him, you uncultured barbarian." The red-haired woman said with dissatisfaction.
She looked at Yun Lintian with a charming smile and said, "Little Lamb, do you want to serve me? I can keep your stomach full."
"Full? Heh. It should be your stomach that's full of his essence." The wizened old man scoffed. However, his eyes flickered with a hint of lust as he stared at the woman's bountiful breasts.
The red-haired woman snorted coldly. "Believe me or not, I will gauge your eyes out one day."
"Hehe. I can't wait for you to come over." The old man laughed.
Yun Lintian ignored everyone and continued to study the runes. It was true that a cultivator at his level no longer needed traditional nutrition like food, but the chain's suppression had turned him into a mortal. He would eventually go hungry in a month.
Seeing Yun Lintian's focused expression, the Mad Monk and the others felt bored and no longer paid attention to him. They believed Yun Lintian would eventually become like them, despairing and completely giving up on leaving this place.
Meanwhile, the White-Haired Demon opened his eyes to look at Yun Lintian. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

A week passed, and the final round of the competition had arrived. Huang Ba, Gu Bingning, and Long Jinxia were not in the mood to continue, but they couldn't simply give up the opportunity.
Inside the prison, Yun Lintian stared attentively at the runes. He had been in this posture for an entire week without moving. The Mad Monk and the others, who initially teased him, began to worry. But no matter how they tried to speak to Yun Lintian, he would never respond.
"Alas... It seems we are going to have another madman." The wizened old man looked at Yun Lintian with a sigh.
The red-haired woman cast a pitied look on Yun Lintian. It would be a pity to lose such a promising seedling.
"Hey, boy. Have you gone insane?" The Mad Monk spoke up while gnawing on a beef jerky.
As Yun Lintian remained unresponsive, the Mad Monk was about to say something, but then he saw Yun Lintian finally move his hands.
At this moment, Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with relief. He finally understood the mechanism and essence of the runes on the chain. They indeed contained the power of several laws, harmoniously combined and forming a perfectly balanced formation.
To break such a formation, Yun Lintian had to disrupt the balance of power in all directions at once, which was normally impossible for ordinary people without divine energy.
However, while Yun Lintian couldn't muster his divine energy, mobilizing his bloodline power was not a problem.
Initially, Yun Lintian didn't want to reveal his divine bloodlines, but he had no choice now. Time was running out, and he couldn't stay like a fish waiting to be chopped.
Under everyone's curious gazes, Yun Lintian calmly grabbed the chain with both hands, and his eyes turned golden, similar to that of a tiger's.
"This..." The Mad Monk, who was closest to Yun Lintian's cell, looked at the young man in astonishment. Everyone here couldn't even muster a single drop of their power, yet Yun Lintian could actually do it. What was happening?
"Don't tell me he can do it!?" The wizened old man abruptly stood up in shock.
The red-haired woman held her breath, and her heart seemed to stop beating at that moment.
A golden lightning spark flashed along the chain, and the runes glowed brightly, trying to absorb the power.
Yun Lintian remained focused. He calmly guided the White Tiger God's power through the chain, ignoring the growing suppression.
Crack!
