Chapter 12
Night Attack
Two days later.
In the living room of the apartment.
As the three clones transformed into streams of light and entered Lin Shen’s body, countless memories and comprehension of cultivating the Blazing Sun Palm suddenly surged into the depths of his mind. His understanding of this martial technique instantly rose to a new level.
After a while, Lin Shen let out a long breath, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Pure Yang Body]
[Stage: Qi Transformation Level 5, 25%]
[Technique: Original Breathing Technique (Mastery 40%), Blazing Sun Palm (Mastery 11%)]
[Number of clones: 3 (15%)]
“I’ve finally reached Proficient!”
Lin Shen took a deep breath and suddenly struck out.
The air was instantly torn apart, making a dull whistling sound. At the same time, a scorching heat wave surged up and swept forward with his moving palms!
The temperature in the living room suddenly soared!
“Awesome!”
Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.
At Beginner, the Blazing Sun Palm was mostly used to temper the body, but at Proficient, it could be used in actual combat, and its might shouldn’t be underestimated!
“With my current strength, it won’t be a problem for me to get into the top ten in the competition.”
A smile appeared on Lin Shen’s face.
It wasn’t easy to cultivate martial techniques. Without a teacher to guide him, it was extremely difficult to achieve any results.
Private martial arts training courses were very expensive. Calm Sun Martial Arts School’s basic course costs 7,999 spirit coins at a 20% discount. It wasn’t something ordinary families could afford.
Therefore, children from ordinary families usually only came into contact with martial techniques during cultivation classes in high school.
They had only cultivated for a short period of time, so very few of them could reach Proficient.
In the entire Willow Academy, no more than five ordinary students had achieved Proficient in the Blazing Sun Palm.
Not a single one of them had reached Mastery.
Only a disciple of an influential family like Yang Zhongyi, who had been taught by a great teacher since he was young and had sufficient cultivation resources, could achieve Proficient in a martial arts technique at such a young age.
“After reaching Proficient in the Blazing Sun Palm, I’ve slowed down in my cultivation speed. Clone 3 can only increase his progress by 8 to 9% a day. Together with my own, I can probably increase by about 10% a day!”
Lin Shen estimated.
In nine days at most, he would be able to reach Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm.
The competition was still twenty days away!
He would have more than enough time!
“Twenty days should be enough for me to break through to the sixth level.
“With the sixth level of the Qi Transformation Stage and Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to take first place in the competition!”
Lin Shen smiled a little.
In high spirits, he practiced the Blazing Sun Palm again before washing up and going to bed.
…
The night was dark.
The bright moonlight poured down on the quiet street like water as if covering it with a thin layer of white gauze.
In a shadowy corner where the moonlight couldn’t reach, a tall and thin man was staring at the apartment building opposite him.
Suddenly, he ran out of his hiding place and silently rushed towards the apartment building like a ghost.
The old stairs that would usually creak when stepped on seemed to have fallen asleep under his feet. There was no sound at all.
Within seconds, the man reached the room at the end of the corridor on the third floor. He threw out a Silent Talisman and stuck it to the door. Then, he shattered the lock with his palm, and the door instantly opened a crack.
The man jumped inside, making no sounds throughout the entire process.
The dim apartment was silent, and the owner had already gone to bed.
The man quickly glanced around, and his gaze finally landed on the tightly shut bedroom door.
He threw out another Silent Talisman, using the same trick to quietly open the bedroom door.
Even though the Silent Talisman isolated all sounds, the moment the door opened, Lin Shen, who was on the bed, still woke up with a start and was about to jump up from the bed.
However, as soon as he moved, the man raised his hand. A talisman instantly flew out of his hand and struck Lin Shen’s chest like a stream of light.
Lin Shen froze and lay back on the bed as if he had lost all his strength. His eyes rolled around in shock and confusion.
“There’s no need to struggle. You’re a Qi Transformation cultivator who hasn’t gained any spiritual essence yet. You can’t break free from an Immobilizing Talisman!”
Tian Dian sneered and walked to the bed. He looked down at Lin Shen and asked coldly,
“Where is it?”
“Where is what?”
BANG!
Tian Dian punched Lin Shen in the abdomen. The latter immediately let out a muffled groan, and his face turned red from the pain. However, he couldn’t react because of the talisman.”
...
“I’ll ask you again. Where is it?”
Lin Shen panted a few times to suppress his anger and said bitterly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He was genuinely confused.
The stranger in front of him didn’t look like a burglar.
Normally, burglars wouldn’t choose such dilapidated apartment buildings as their targets, let alone use high-end things like Immobilizing Talismans.
That Immobilizing Talisman was probably more valuable than all Lin Shen’s possessions put together.
Moreover, this man wanted him to hand over something right away… Lin Shen had no idea what he was talking about.
Seeing the change in Lin Shen’s expression, Tian Dian frowned, but he quickly relaxed.
It seemed this kid had no idea that he had placed that thing on him.
That made sense. After finding out Lin Shen’s identity and where he lived, Tian Dian waited outside the apartment for two days, but he never saw any traces of the Martial Enforcement Hall.
Tian Dian knew if Lin Shen had discovered that thing, he would have reported it to the Martial Enforcement Hall long ago. However, the boy had remained silent until now.
...
After figuring that out, Tian Dian asked coldly, “Where’s the backpack you often carry around?”
Lin Shen was surprised. His eyes flickered as he said, “It’s on the sofa in the living room.”
Tian Dian turned around and walked towards the living room without hesitation, leaving Lin Shen lying on the bed.
Tian Dian had investigated this kid’s cultivation level and knew he was at the fifth level of the Qi Transformation Stage at most. Even if it was a head-on battle, Tian Dian was 100% sure he could kill the boy,
not to mention that this kid was still frozen by the Immobilizing Talisman.
Tian Dian trusted the effect of the talisman very much.
The moment he walked into the living room, Tian Dian saw the backpack on the sofa.
He quickly marched forward, opened the bag, and fumbled around. Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.
When he took his hand out of the bag, there was a jade slip in his palm.
After confirming that the jade slip was intact, Tian Dian immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
With a flip of his wrist, the jade slip instantly disappeared. Tian Dian turned around and looked in the direction of the bedroom. A sinister and ruthless smile flashed across his face.
Since the item had been found, there was no need to keep the boy alive!
Tian Dian grinned and strode back to the bedroom.
Lin Shen was still lying on the bed, motionless.
Tian Dian took a few steps forward and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Where was the Immobilizing Talisman?
Why did the talisman on Lin Shen’s chest disappear?
Click!
Suddenly, there was a slight movement behind him.
Tian Dian was suddenly alarmed and immediately wanted to turn around.
However, just as he turned around, a palm with a scorching heat wave tore through the air and landed heavily on his chest.
At the same time, he heard an angry voice.
“Go to hell!”
