Lin Hu looked at the Supreme Elder in the sky. He was at the 5th level of the Martial King Grade, one of the top cultivation levels in the first tier of the Cloud City. He was not afraid as he listened to the old man's words.
"Little friend, you can enter my Lin Family's inner court and enjoy the benefits of being an inner court disciple. However, I hope that you can help my Lin Family in times of crisis."
Help? What did this old man say? What was his true strength?
"Lin Hu, agree." Lin Yuan thought for a while before sending a telepathic message to the purple eyes.
If he walked out of the Lin Family residence just like that, with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to escape Lin Hua's pursuit. Since this old man had given him a way out, he would give the Supreme Elder face.
Looking at Lin Hu who was deep in thought, the Highest Elder nodded his head, "No need to be arrogant, you have an arrogant body, not bad, not bad."
Lin Shan was overjoyed at the flattering words of the Highest Elder. He knew that Lin Hua had managed to preserve his life, but whether or not he stayed would be up to him.
"Alright, I'm willing to stay. I won't be participating in the next round, I concede."
He was here to obtain the inner sect quota and also to track down the whereabouts of the Evil Soul Master. He did not care about the number one position, because Lin Shan had secretly sent a sound transmission to him, so he could obtain the first place reward.
He glanced at Lin Shan and the Supreme Elder in the sky. In the Lin Family, they could be considered to be people who had seen a lot.
As for Lin Wushuang, he was someone who dared to speak up for him in front of the Lin Clan.
Lin Hua's eyes narrowed, his heart was thinking of expelling Lin Hua from the Lin Family before acting to kill him, thus he had nothing to worry about. However, since the Lin Family's Supreme Elder had spoken, he did not dare to say anything more.
After all, the Supreme Elder's position in the Lin Family was akin to that of a guardian god. As for the Lin Family disciples, they were even more silent.
With such an incident today, it was definitely not a good idea to continue the next round of martial arts competition. Lin Hu had also given up on this round of battle, so naturally, this time around, the champion was Lin Wushuang, while Lin Hu was ranked second.
However, he did not care about that. What he cared about was the medicinal pill, the pill that could sense the souls of Heaven and Earth. However, this pill was definitely something that Lin Shan had secretly given to him.
When the Lin Family disciples left the Martial Arts Practice Hall one by one, Lin Hu was informed that his training area was the front mountain of the Lin Family, and that it was the Lin Family's inner court disciple's training area. The Lin Clan's back mountain was where the elders lived, and he was not allowed to enter.
As he followed Lin Shan on the road, Lin Hu recalled the scene of today's martial competition with Lin Nan Tian. "Why does that aura feel similar to that of the black-clothed man, yet not like it!"
Lin Shan heard the mutterings mumbling to himself as he turned to look at Lin Hu. Lin Shan's questioning gaze caused Lin Shan to remain silent.
"From now on, this place will be your residence. There are thirteen inner court disciples in the front mountain. All of them are in the Martial Spirit Realm and you don't need to provoke them under special circumstances."
After Lin Shan finished his explanation, he immediately prepared to leave. A stone medallion flew out from his hands and was caught by Lin Hu, as well as a medicinal pill.
"3000 low-grade martial spirit stones and a single pill, that's your reward. Work hard young genius. I know you have a bad impression of the Lin Family, but there are some things that are not what you think."
"Right, the mountain in front of the inner sect disciples' cultivation area is a small branch of the Spirit Beast Mountain. From time to time, spirit beasts will appear, and if there is any danger, immediately run into the sect."
Lin Hua nodded. He could feel that the concentration of martial energy here was not something that the Fragrant Leaf Mountain could compare to. This place was suitable for martial practitioners to cultivate and for the growth of spirit beasts.
As for the benefits of inner court disciples, Lin Hua had studied it for a while.
Inner disciples could enjoy the rewards of choosing three martial skills every seven days in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion. Core disciples could choose one every month and outer disciples could be selected once a year. As for the service disciples who didn't have it, this benefit was too great.
As for the inner disciples of the Martial Qi Stone, there were one thousand a month, the core disciples were three hundred a month, and the outer disciples were fifty. As for the service disciples, there were only a few.
The Lin Clan's resources were limited, so of course they would give spirit stones to those with talent in cultivation. This was the common sense of mankind, so no one complained.
"Right now, I only lack a mental cultivation method. My offensive martial skill has the Chaotic Fist gifted by Purple Eyes, so I should learn a weapon martial art. As for the Body Tempering Art and the Three Saint Blast Technique, I should also learn a soul attack technique."
After tidying up his shortcomings, Lin Hua made up his mind and looked at the front mountain. He was not in a hurry to go to the Central Prefecture to choose a cultivation technique.
Now was the time to be in the limelight. If he went out today, he would definitely be surrounded. He first had to take a look at his own practice area. This way, he could be more at ease and consolidate some of his gains from today's battle.
What made him suspicious was that Lin Nantian's final aura was filled with hatred and disgust, as if he were facing a black-clothed man.
"What is it?"
Lin Hu patted his head, "Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."
Lin Shan had instructed the thirteen inner disciples in front of the mountain to not provoke them. However, other than grass and trees, there was no other limitation to the size of the front mountain.
The trees at the front of the mountain blocked out the sunlight, scattering specks of white light, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The smell of medicine filled the air, causing Lin Chu to take a deep breath and lie down quietly.
"The biggest taboo in Martial Spirit Continent is to give your most relaxed state to the enemy."
Lin Hu seemed to have heard the words echoing in his ears. He immediately jumped up, and hacked his way out of his dwelling, throwing out eight chaotic punches. Under the bombardment of each punch, Lin Hu wiped away the sweat on his forehead.
A huge cave appeared in front of them, and Lin Hua started to practice his inner sect disciples.
The next morning.
After recuperating from a day of fatigue, Lin Hua walked out of the cultivation cave and took a look at the sky. Dawn had just broken through and was just beginning to light up, so the fragrance of earth and grass seeped into his heart.
"It's suitable for a set of punches and activities."
The youth's vigorous body struck out with a fist that carried the sound of winds breaking, resounding throughout the peaceful area in front of the mountain.
Every punch and kick would create crisp sounds from the bones. About an hour later, Lin Hu stood on the spot, closed his eyes, and breathed in a breath of relief before exhaling a breath of air.
"After meditating for the entire night, I finally felt much more comfortable." Picking up the storage bag, Lin Hua closed his eyes and looked inside.
This bag was the one that Lin Shan had thrown at him yesterday, and all the core disciples in the inner sect would give out their storage bags.
