The finals of the martial arts competition officially kicked off——

Xiang Jinpeng and Zhuo Yong stood at both ends of the ring, ready to compete for the championship!
This peak showdown attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

but!

Almost everyone is optimistic about Zhuo Yong.

The audience below the stage also discussed one after another:
“There’s no suspense in this game!”

“That’s right! Xiang Jinpeng made it to the finals purely by luck! He has always won by luck! Now that he’s facing Zhuo Yong, there’s no chance of him winning!”

“It’s a pity that Fang Yao was crippled by Lin Lang! Otherwise, his duel with Captain Zhuo Yong would be really interesting!”

……

Everyone’s words were full of contempt for Xiang Jinpeng, as if the championship position had already been reserved by Zhuo Yong in advance.

As for that unlucky guy named Fang Yao!
At this moment, he was hiding in the crowd, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm.

He recalled the scene when he challenged Lin Lang but his abilities were sealed by Lin Lang!
The anger in my heart burns like a raging fire!
His hands were clenched into fists, the joints turning white from the force.

When the little bootlickers beside him saw his appearance, they were so frightened that they dared not even breathe!

He could only stand aside cautiously, for fear of angering Fang Yao.

……

“Game start!”

Following the referee’s order!
The battle between Zhuo Yong and Xiang Jinpeng officially begins——

“Hi!”

Zhuo Yong roared!
He used the stone armor ability without reservation, and the solid stone armor quickly covered his entire body!
He rushed towards Jin Peng like a wild bull with an indomitable momentum!
Every step made the ground tremble slightly!

This is his usual all-out fighting style!
however!
Xiang Jinpeng, who had performed mediocrely before, now displayed amazing skills!

He moved as fast as lightning and easily dodged Zhuo Yong’s fierce attack!

Next!

He quickly formed seals with his hands, activated the flower demon ability, and shouted:
“One flower, one world!”

In an instant!
The arena is covered with vines and countless beautiful yet dangerous flowers are blooming!
These plants seemed to have life and quickly wrapped around Zhuo Yong, binding his stone armor tightly in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, the audience immediately exploded:

“Fuck!”

“Why is Xiang Jinpeng suddenly so powerful?”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect him to be so strong!”

……

Mr. Zou and Mr. Liu also widened their eyes, their faces filled with surprise!

Mr. Zou couldn’t help but say:
“This kid is actually hiding his true abilities!”

Old Liu also said:

“It’s hard to say who will win now!”

……

The two people on the stage were fighting back and forth, neither giving in!
Zhuo Yong struggled to break free from the plants and exerted force to try to break through the blockade!
Xiang Jinpeng responded calmly, controlling the plants to constantly change their attack methods.

The radiance of various super powers shines together!

The sound of sonic booms is endless!
The air around the ring seemed to be stirred and boiling!

Dust is everywhere!

……

at last!

The result of the martial arts competition finals has been settled.

Just as Lin Lang expected——

Xiang Jinpeng defeated Zhuo Yong and won the championship with his outstanding strength!

……

The referee announced loudly:

“The champion of this martial arts competition finals is Xiang Jinpeng!”

This result was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the entire audience!

Everyone was shocked, and the situation where everyone was optimistic about Zhuo Yong was completely broken.

There was a wailing sound from the audience——

Just like Lin Lang and Mr. Zou!
Many people also placed bets before the game, but they all believed that Zhuo Yong would win!

Can!
The situation that I thought was a sure win was suddenly reversed!
They watched their bet go down the drain and felt regretful:

“Oh my! Why didn’t I realize Xiang Jinpeng was so amazing!”

“It’s over, it’s over. All my bets are gone!”

“That kid did it on purpose!”

Various complaints are heard one after another!

But some are sad and some are happy——

Some people who bought Xiang Jinpengsheng’s bets couldn’t stop smiling!

……

Lin Lang watched Xiang Jinpeng defeat Zhuo Yong on the stage and successfully climb to the top of the championship throne, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

The result of this game was already within his expectations.

Now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, I can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

The little mermaid Zhixi’s face flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkled with bright light, and she cheered:

“Lin Lang, you are so amazing, you really got it right!”

And Mr. Zou stood aside, his expression slightly complicated——

on the one hand!

After all, it was the student he taught personally who lost the game.

As a teacher, he couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed!
However, victory and defeat are common in the military, so he doesn’t take it too seriously.

on the other hand!

He was also amazed at Lin Lang’s unique vision!

Xiang Jinpeng fooled everyone, including the experienced judges on the stage who were each more shrewd than the other!
In the end, he failed to deceive the young man Lin Lang!
……

He sighed softly, forced out a slightly awkward smile, and then handed the exquisite wooden box containing the jade pendant to Lin Lang with both hands, and said with a hint of helplessness but very generously in his tone:

“My dear Lin, I have to admit defeat. I lost the bet. Please keep the jade pendant. It is yours now.”

Lin Lang stretched out his hand and took the jade pendant steadily. His eyes stayed on it for a moment. The warm luster and unique texture made him more interested in this treasure.

“Thank you, Mr. Zou, for giving up your love.”

Lin Lang put away the jade pendant and smiled slightly.

Mr. Zou waved his hands, as if to shake off the unhappiness of losing the bet, but his eyes never left Lin Lang.

Actually!
He doesn’t care about winning or losing at all!
Because his heart had already been filled with the realm-breaking pill that Lin Lang took out——

When he thought about the possible breakthrough that the realm-breaking pill might bring, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

After hesitating for a while, Mr. Zou mustered up the courage to say:
“My dear Lin, it’s a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity today. Would you be so kind as to come to my place and take a look? Let’s have a simple meal together and have a good chat.”

As Mr. Zou spoke, he was secretly calculating in his mind:

He knew too well how precious the Realm Breakthrough Pill was, so he was too embarrassed to ask Lin Lang for it directly.

Moreover, at the moment, he really couldn’t come up with anything that could match the realm-breaking pill to exchange.

But he has made up his mind!

As long as Lin Lang was willing to go to him, no matter what Lin Lang liked, even if it was his most treasured treasure, he would be willing to give it to him without hesitation.

Because in his opinion, as long as he can get the realm-breaking pill, there will be hope to enter the realm of martial arts legend!

Everything else seems less important.

……

As the martial arts competition came to an end, the crowd gradually dispersed and the lively atmosphere slowly cooled down.

The fat man with glasses on the judges’ panel had a gloomy expression on his face.

His eyes quickly searched the crowd and finally locked onto Fang Yao.

Ever since Fang Yao was defeated by Lin Lang, he looked like a lost soul, standing dejectedly in the corner.

His eyes were filled with frustration and unwillingness.

Apparently!

This failure left him with a deep psychological trauma!
It was as if an insurmountable gap lay across his heart.

The fat man strode to Fang Yao, the anger on his face becoming more and more obvious. He scolded Fang Yao mercilessly:
“Look at what you’re like now! Aren’t you usually so arrogant? How come you’re so useless at the critical moment! You were beaten to a pulp by an internet celebrity. You’ve really embarrassed me!”

“I’m sorry, uncle!”

Fang Yao lowered his head, not daring to breathe, and could only silently endure the fat man’s scolding.

He knew in his heart that his failure this time would definitely disappoint the fat man.

After scolding Fang Yao, the fat man’s eyes swept over the little licker, Wang Dahai and others beside him, and snorted coldly:

“You guys are not good people! You just follow the crowd and make trouble all the time, but you can’t help at all when it matters! From today on, you will all stay in seclusion for a few months and reflect on yourselves!”

The little licker and the others turned pale with fright and nodded quickly. They knew that they were really in trouble this time.

……

After being punished by the fat man, the little licker was filled with resentment and despair.

He clearly realized that

I have neither extraordinary talent nor a strong background!
If he continued to muddle along like this, let alone defeating Lin Lang, he would probably always be just an insignificant little character in this world full of powerful people!
After some painful thinking!

The little licking dog finally made a bold decision——

I want to join the cultivators!
He felt that only in this way could he gain more powerful strength and have a chance to avenge his previous shame!
then!

He found Lin Lang in a threatening manner and threatened:

“Lin Lang, you win this time! But don’t be so arrogant!”

“I came here this time to say goodbye to you. I’m going to join the cultivators!”

“Take good care of Xina for me and be gentle to her. Sooner or later, I will take her back!”

“Then I will make you pay for what you did today!”

……

Lin Lang was talking to Zou Lao and others. When he heard what the little licker said, he just glanced at him lightly with a sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

In Lin Lang’s opinion, the little licker was just a jumping clown, and he didn’t take the other party’s harsh words to heart at all.

Lin Lang waved his hand, as if to drive away an insignificant fly, and said:
“Okay, stop wasting time here and let’s go.”

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the little licker and continued to do his own thing.

When the little bootlicker saw Lin Lang’s indifferent look, his anger grew even stronger!
But he also knew that he was no match for Lin Lang at the moment!

I could only grit my teeth and turn away.

He secretly swore that after he gained powerful strength from the cultivators, he would come back to settle the score with Lin Lang!
……

After dealing with matters with Mr. Zou, Lin Lang went around looking for Ji Qianlan.

Soon!

He found Ji Qianlan who was concentrating on practicing sword skills in the corner of the training ground.

Lin Lang walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently.

Ji Qianlan turned around and saw that it was Lin Lang, with a hint of surprise in her eyes:
“Coach Lin, are you looking for me?”

Lin Lang smiled and nodded, lightly touched her knife with his fingertips, and then said to her:
“I have blessed your sword with the law of darkness. From now on, whenever you kill someone with this sword, their shadow will be sucked into the sword. As the shadow accumulates, your shadow slashing ability will become stronger and stronger.”

Ji Qianlan took the knife and looked at it carefully, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

She swung it gently and seemed to feel a mysterious and powerful force contained in the blade.

Next!

Lin Lang took out a bunch of pills and super energy fruits, handed them to Ji Qianlan, and said:

“These are also given to you. They will help you improve your strength.”

Ji Qianlan looked at the pile of precious items in front of her, feeling somewhat flattered, and said quickly:

“Instructor, these are too valuable. I…”

Lin Lang interrupted her:
“Take it. It will be useful to you. Also, remember to come see me tomorrow.”

Ji Qianlan nodded gratefully, carefully put away the pills and super fruit, and watched Lin Lang go away.

When the people around saw this scene, they couldn’t help but look at Ji Qianlan with envy.

Someone whispered:
“Damn! Ji Qianlan is so lucky. Lin Lang is so good to her.”

“Humph, I think Lin Lang is just very lustful! Everyone knows that he had an affair with Instructor Xina on the first day he came here! Now he is so nice to Ji Qianlan, it is obvious that he has other intentions…”

Ji Qianlan heard these discussions, but she looked calm and didn’t care.

In her heart, Lin Lang’s help to her is real and can make her stronger!

As for other people’s gossip, she didn’t want to pay any attention to it.

……

after that.

Lin Lang went to accept Mr. Zou’s invitation.

As soon as you enter the door, a strong ancient atmosphere hits you.

All he saw were a dazzling array of antiques, which instantly attracted Lin Lang’s attention.

Mr. Zou’s home is decorated very elegantly, and every detail reveals the owner’s love for ancient charm.

The antique shelves around are filled with various kinds of porcelain, emitting a warm luster under the soft light.

There are paintings and calligraphy works hanging on the walls, with strong or smooth brushstrokes, and each one seems to be telling a piece of history.

The jade articles placed on the ground are beautifully shaped, delicately textured, and warm to the touch…

Each of these antiques bears the traces of time and exudes a unique charm.

Mr. Zou was all smiles, and while leading Lin Lang around the house, he said enthusiastically:

“My dear Lin, I have no other hobbies in my life except these old things. Over the years, I have accumulated quite a few. If you like any of them, please don’t hesitate to ask. I can give them to you no matter which one they are!”

When Mr. Zou said this, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lin Lang’s heart was as clear as a mirror.

He knew that Mr. Zou’s real concern was not on these antiques at all, but on his own realm-breaking pill.

Lin Lang looked calm and unhurried.

He secretly activated the Eye of Fortune.

In an instant, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He began to examine each antique carefully, with his keen eyes, not missing any details.

His eyes swept across each piece of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade, as if he wanted to penetrate the surface of these objects and explore their inner mysteries.

however!
After a careful inspection, Lin Lang couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Although these antiques are very valuable, they are considered treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.

But when examined with his eye of destiny, there was nothing special about them. They were just ordinary antiques that had gone through the passage of time.

There was no treasure that could make his heart beat.

Just as Lin Lang was about to look away, his eyes accidentally fell on a photo in the corner of the living room.

The photo shows a young girl with a pretty face, a bright smile and youthful vigor.

Old Liu also happened to notice Lin Lang’s gaze and said jokingly with a smile:
“Isn’t it possible that Mr. Lin has taken a fancy to this treasure? This is Mr. Zou’s granddaughter!”

“The girl is so pretty! It’s a pity that she has been studying abroad! Otherwise, she could get to know Mr. Lin and maybe sparks would fly.”

……

When Mr. Zou heard what Mr. Liu said, his already shrewd eyes suddenly lit up!

It was as if a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

A picture suddenly appeared in his mind:
If Lin Lang could really get together with his granddaughter and strengthen their relationship, wouldn’t it be more hopeful for him to obtain the realm-breaking pill?

Do not!
By that time, it would not only be the realm-breaking pill, but the entire Lin Lang would be his treasure trove!

This is really a win-win situation!

Thinking of this, Mr. Zou’s eyes were full of anticipation, and his gaze towards Lin Lang was a little more eager.

but!

Lin Lang did not show much interest in this——

Mr. Zou’s granddaughter is indeed outstanding in appearance. Based on Lin Lang’s judgment of her appearance, she can probably give her a score of around 8 or 9!
But Lin Lang has been traveling in the apocalypse over the years and has seen all kinds of beauties.

Although her appearance was good, it wasn’t enough to make him so moved that he lost his composure and couldn’t walk.

Moreover, Lin Lang knew clearly that his current interaction with Mr. Zou was mainly because of the Realm Breaking Pill.

He didn’t want to have any complicated involvement with Mr. Zou because of emotional matters.

In his opinion, a pure transaction relationship may be simpler and clearer, and more in line with his current needs.

……

At Mr. Zou’s home, Lin Lang slowly walked among the numerous collections, his eyes like a fine sieve, carefully identifying each item.

Time passes slowly.

Finally, he stopped by a wall and his eyes fixed on a painting.

This calligraphy and painting looks simple and elegant, with a faint golden glow on the surface.

Although in Lin Lang’s eyes, it is not a rare treasure, but it is still worthy of his attention.

Lin Lang had a plan in mind, and turned to Zou Lao and said:
“Mr. Zou, I think this calligraphy and painting really appeals to me. I wonder if I can exchange my realm-breaking pill with you?”

When Mr. Zou heard this, his eyes widened instantly, the surprise on his face was beyond words, and he nodded hurriedly:

“Yes, yes! Of course! It’s a blessing for this calligraphy and painting that Lin Xiaoyou likes it!”

In Mr. Zou’s mind, the value of the realm-breaking pill far exceeds this painting. This is simply the deal he has always dreamed of.

In fact, there are a large number of realm-breaking pills in Lin Lang’s space, piled up like a mountain.

In his opinion, exchanging a realm-breaking pill for this painting and calligraphy could not only satisfy his own needs, but also do Mr. Zou a favor. Why not do it?

The deal is done! Mr. Zou carefully took the realm-breaking pill and held it tightly in both hands, as if he was holding his lifeblood.

His hands trembled slightly, and his voice trembled with excitement:
“Thank you so much, Mr. Lin! This is the treasure I’ve always dreamed of!”

Lin Lang smiled but said nothing.

Subsequently.

Everyone sat around the dining table and prepared to eat.

Mr. Zou was in a good mood and personally took out the fine wine that he had collected for many years from the wine cellar!
The wine has a rich aroma that makes people salivate even before opening the bottle.

He smiled and kept pouring wine for Lin Lang, muttering:

“Little friend Lin, you must drink a few more cups today!”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

In this lively atmosphere, the little mermaid Zhixi seemed a little out of place——

She neither drank nor had any interest in the food on the table.

Her eyes were attracted by a box of imported biscuits, which were sent by Mr. Zou’s granddaughter.

Zhixi picked up the biscuit and took a light bite. With a “crunch” sound, the sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth.

Her eyes sparkled and she murmured:
“This is so delicious!”

When Mr. Zou heard Zhixi’s words, he smiled and said:
“It turns out that the girl likes to eat this, but it’s a pity that this is all there is.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Zhixi’s originally bright eyes, and she pouted slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Lang reached out and touched Zhixi’s head, saying gently:
“It’s okay, I’ll let you eat until you get sick of it later!”

The voice just fell.

As Zhixi munched on the biscuits one bite at a time, “crunch crunch”!

Something amazing happened:

[Zhixi consumed a cookie, 5000 pieces returned, stored in the host space]

In Lin Lang’s space, the same kind of cookies began to appear continuously, and the quantity increased, as if they would never be finished.

……

After eating and drinking, Lin Lang and Lao Liu came out of Zou’s house together.

Night had quietly fallen, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the road ahead of them, covering everything around them with a layer of light silver gauze.

Old Liu was extremely excited, and his steps seemed to be brisk.

He had been thinking about something in his mind. After hesitating for a while, he finally mustered up the courage to ask Lin Lang again:

“Mr. Lin, do you think you can really spare some time to visit our alchemy department tomorrow? You don’t know, but everyone there is looking forward to your visit. We have all admired your alchemy skills for a long time. It would be our honor to receive your guidance!”

As Old Liu spoke, he looked at Lin Lang expectantly, his eyes full of desire.

Lin Lang looked up at the night sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

He could feel Lao Liu’s sincerity, and he had already promised before, so he said readily:
“No problem, Mr. Liu, don’t worry, I will definitely go tomorrow.”

Hearing Lin Lang’s reply, Lao Liu’s face suddenly broke into a bright smile. He almost jumped up with excitement and said quickly:
“Great! Mr. Lin, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the alchemy department tomorrow morning. You must come!”

The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences, then separated, preparing to go back and have a good rest in preparation for tomorrow.

Old Liu walked towards his residence with great joy, already imagining in his mind what the scene would be like when Lin Lang arrived at the alchemy department tomorrow!
He was full of expectations for the future, as if he had already seen the day when he would make rapid progress in alchemy.

Lin Lang took Zhixi and walked slowly on the way back to their residence.

Under the moonlight, their shadows were stretched out, appearing particularly peaceful and beautiful.

……

After separating from Lao Liu, Lin Lang and Zhixi walked side by side towards Xina’s residence.

The moonlight was like water, and on the quiet street, the figures of the two people were elongated by the moonlight.

But suddenly!
A fat figure appeared halfway and blocked their way:
【Zhao Jinyuan】

[Combat Power: SS]

[Superpowers: Frightened Snake (level 10); Dust (level 8)]

Lin Lang recognized that this person was the fat man with glasses among the judges!
When he saw Lin Lang, he sneered, walked over slowly, and said:

“Lin Lang, you’ve been at the Secret Service for quite some time. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t found the time to see you.”

His attitude was extremely arrogant, and his tone sounded as if Lin Lang should have taken the initiative to visit him.

Lin Lang instantly sensed a hint of hostility from him, frowned slightly, and responded concisely:

“It’s okay. I’m busy too.”

After hearing this, Zhao Jinyuan immediately threw his head back and laughed, his laughter sounded particularly harsh in the quiet street:
“You’re just an internet celebrity, but you’re busier than us secret service leaders. What are you busy with? Are you busy asking for rewards online? We’re busy saving people every day, unlike Zou who’s not doing his job and doing live broadcasts online, and even dug out a guy like you!”

Lin Lang was already tired of his sarcastic way of speaking, so he stopped being polite and looked directly at Zhao Jinyuan and said bluntly:
“How did I offend Leader Zhao? Just tell me straight out.”

Zhao Jinyuan was slightly stunned. She really didn’t expect that a so-called internet celebrity would dare to speak to her in such a tough tone.

After a little thought, he concluded that Lin Lang was just ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and was self-righteous relying on his own cultivation.

So, he snorted coldly and said:

“You had a sparring match with Fang Yao yesterday. It would have been fine if you won, but why did you seal his super power core? Isn’t that too much!”

After hearing this, Lin Lang found it a little funny, thinking that this fat guy was standing up for that young and foolish Fang Yao!

I don’t know what the relationship between the two of them is?
Lin Lang looked calm and said to Zhao Jinyuan slowly:

“I am also a judge after all. How can he be qualified to challenge me at will?”

“Since you lost, you must accept the punishment! Besides, I only sealed his ability for three days…”

“If I had known that he was so stubborn and even dared to ask someone to help him, I should have killed him directly.”

……

When Zhao Jinyuan heard Lin Lang’s words, he was so angry that his face turned blue, but he still lowered his voice and said:
“You are so rude! Fang Yao is my nephew!”

That look seemed as if he was going to eat Lin Lang alive in the next second.

Lin Lang, however, remained calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a hint of disdain:
“No wonder he’s like that.”

This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, causing Zhao Jinyuan’s rage to erupt completely.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he also laughed in anger:

“Okay, okay! Is this how you treat me? The world is really in chaos. Even an internet clown like you dares to speak rudely to a person like me! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you will never know your place!”

At this moment, Zhao Jinyuan had completely lost his usual calmness as a judge and was overwhelmed by anger.

Lin Lang just raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Zhao Jinyuan calmly, and asked in a calm tone:
“You want to fight with me?”

Zhao Jinyuan’s chest rose and fell violently, he gasped, suppressed his anger, and sneered:

“This is for your own good! If jade is not polished, it will become nothing useful!”

It seemed like he was looking for a reason to take action.

But Lin Lang still stood there, motionless, with a calm expression, as if the aggressive Zhao Jinyuan in front of him was just a ferocious ant to him, not worth his fear or panic at all.

……

Just as Zhao Jinyuan glared at Lin Lang and rolled up his sleeves to attack him, a figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.

I saw Wei Tianxing had quietly stood beside Zhao Jinyuan without knowing when!
He stretched out his hand and firmly held down Zhao Jinyuan’s shoulder, which was trembling slightly with anger.

Subsequently.

Wei Tianxing turned his gaze towards Lin Lang, with a gentle look on his face, and said:
“Little friend Lin, I wonder if you have time right now. Can we chat?”

Lin Lang glanced at him coldly.

I also don’t have a good impression of this man who is always well-dressed and has a serious face.

Lin Lang sneered in his heart, thinking that all this was really ridiculous.

It was clearly them who invited me here again and again, hoping that I could help the Secret Service solve various problems!

But now the situation seems like I am rushing to join them!
After all, I am an invited guest!

Like Mr. Zou, he warmly and proactively welcomed me when I first arrived. This is the way to treat guests!

At worst, it would be reasonable for him to invite himself through Mr. Zou, like Mr. Liu did.

How could they run up to me halfway and stop me like they did?

Lin Lang was annoyed and responded bluntly:
“No time, I’m in a hurry to go back and surf the Internet!”

There was a strong hint of sarcasm in that tone.

“you!”

As soon as Zhao Jinyuan heard it, he realized that Lin Lang was deliberately mocking him for what he had said before about him being an internet celebrity. He was so angry that his face turned purple. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could rush up and punch Lin Lang right away.

however.

Wei Tianxing remained calm, as if Lin Lang’s rejection and sarcasm had no effect on him.

What is happening next time, the way to say:

“Let’s make an appointment another day.”

However, Lin Lang ignored him completely. He just gently took Zhixi’s hand and walked away without looking back.

Only Wei Tianxing and Zhao Jinyuan were left standing there, watching their departing backs.

……

Zhao Jinyuan was unwilling to give in, and turned to complain to Wei Tianxing:

“Old leader, why are you stopping me? I was planning to teach this kid a lesson and subdue the S-level beast. Maybe I can even find out what the treasure you mentioned is.”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, his eyes revealing deep resentment and anger.

Wei Tianxing’s face darkened, and his voice was as cold as the cold wind in December:

“Who are you? And where is this place?”

“what?”

Zhao Jinyuan looked surprised and confused by Wei Tianxing’s sudden question. She had no idea what he meant.

Wei Tianxing frowned, stared at Zhao Jinyuan with a sharp gaze, and said seriously:
“You are a secret agent, shouldering a special mission and responsibility, not a wanton bandit! This is the Secret Service Bureau, a place to maintain order and justice, not a gangster world where you can run wild as you please.”

Zhao Jinyuan was left speechless. He opened his mouth but didn’t know how to refute.

Seeing him like this, Wei Tianxing gradually calmed down:

“Besides, do you know that Lin Lang donated a large amount of supplies to the Special Agents Bureau? Even the pills your nephew took were generously donated by him. How dare you think of repaying kindness with enmity?”

Zhao Jinyuan was still unconvinced, and said with his neck stiff:

“That’s what he should do! Our secret service is willing to accept the things he sent, it’s his honor!”

Wei Tianxing shook his head in disappointment and sighed:
“That’s enough! You’re getting more and more stupid.”

After saying that, he turned around abruptly and walked away in big strides.

Only Zhao Jinyuan was left standing there alone.

Zhao Jinyuan looked at Wei Tianxing’s departing back, then cast his gaze in the direction where Lin Lang disappeared, his teeth clattering as he squeezed out a few words:
“Damn it! You dared to hurt my nephew? I won’t let this go!”

His eyes were full of resentment, as if he was already thinking about how to take revenge on Lin Lang.

……

Lin Lang took Zhixi back to Xina’s residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt a faint energy fluctuation in the room——

Apparently Sheena had just experienced a breakthrough!
When Xina saw Lin Lang coming back, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

She walked quickly to Lin Lang and said excitedly:

“Lin Lang, that fruit is so magical! I feel like my strength has made a qualitative leap.”

Lin Lang looked at Xina’s refreshed state and smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at the changes in Xina’s attributes:

【Xina】

[Appearance: 9 points]

【Charging: 12 times】

[Loyalty: 60%]

[Return rate: 6000]

[Combat Power: S]

[Ability: Summoning God (Level 1)]

Then!

Lin Lang and Xina sat on the sofa and talked about today’s martial arts competition.

Lin Lang recounted the course of the game in detail, from Zhuo Yong’s courageous performance, to Xiang Jinpeng’s thrilling advancement, and finally his unexpected victory over Zhuo Yong to win the championship.

Xina listened with great interest. When she heard that Xiang Jinpeng unexpectedly defeated Zhuo Yong, she opened her mouth in surprise and said:
“This guy is so good at hiding his abilities! I never realized he was so strong before. It seems that you can’t judge a person by his appearance.”

As Xina spoke, she shook her head slightly, amazed at Xiang Jinpeng’s hidden strength.

……

As night slowly falls, the soft moonlight shines into the house through the windows, covering the entire room with a layer of dreamy silver gauze.

Xina sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, her eyes falling on Lin Lang from time to time. Her eyes were full of affection, as if she was hiding thousands of emotions, just waiting to be confided to the person in front of her.

Lin Lang naturally understood. He gently took Xina’s hand, the two smiled at each other, and then walked into the bedroom together.

Xina’s cheeks flushed slightly, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, shy and charming.

The little mermaid Zhixi watched the two of them walk into the bedroom, blinked her big watery eyes, and swam back to the bathtub that belonged to her alone.

The water in the bathtub is clear and transparent, with slight ripples, like a tranquil little ocean.

Just when Zhixi was feeling a little bored, Lin Lang suddenly walked out of the bedroom. He came to the bathtub, smiled and took out a bunch of imported biscuits from the space.

These cookies come beautifully packaged and have an alluring aroma.

Zhixi’s eyes lit up instantly, like the twinkling stars in the night sky——

Lin Lang didn’t lie to her!

She can really eat cookies until she gets sick of them!

She took the cookies excitedly, an innocent smile on her face, and was so happy that she forgot all her worries.

Then the little mermaid sat on the edge of the bathtub and started eating happily.

The crisp chewing sound echoed in the quiet room, like a cheerful little tune, accompanying Zhixi as she immersed herself in the joy brought by the delicious biscuits.

……

Late night!
Everything was silent, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After a passionate lovemaking with Lin Lang, Xina collapsed on the bed exhausted and soon fell asleep.

The sound of even breathing echoed softly in the quiet room.

Lin Lang quietly got up, put on a coat, and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

He came to the center of the living room, quickly formed seals with his hands, and a strange light appeared around him. He used the laws of space to carefully construct an independent training space.

As the light gradually faded, a space exuding a mysterious atmosphere appeared before our eyes.

Lin Lang jumped in without hesitation.

……

There was silence in the training space, with soft light illuminating the surroundings.

Lin Lang sat cross-legged and took out the jade pendant he won from Mr. Zou today.

Under the gaze of the Eye of Destiny, the jade pendant sparkled with brilliant golden light, like a pearl in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and alluring aura.

Lin Lang concentrated his mind and slowly inserted his spiritual consciousness into the jade pendant like a thin thread.

moment!

He then realized that there was an extremely powerful spiritual defense inside the jade pendant, like an indestructible fortress, guarding the secrets hidden in the jade pendant.

however!
Now Lin Lang’s spiritual power has reached an extremely astonishing level!
This seemingly powerful defense was nothing but paper in front of him.

With almost no effort, Lin Lang’s spiritual sense penetrated the defense like a sharp blade, unstoppable.

Accompanied by a crisp “click” sound!

The jade pendant could not withstand this powerful impact and instantly turned into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground.

next moment!
A golden light emerged, illuminating a piece of ancient text in the air:

[Heavenly Thunder Codex:
The sky is vast and the thunder is mighty.

Lead the thunder into the body and guard the soul.

The vein carries the wrath of heaven, and the energy absorbs the purple sky.

Condensing thunder into power, breaking delusion and soaring into the sky.

When the heart of thunder returns to one, all things wither…】

……

The content of this text is profound and obscure, as if it is a whisper from an ancient mysterious world, containing elusive mysteries.

Its complexity far exceeds any knowledge Lin Lang has ever encountered before!

According to common sense, if you want to understand the true meaning of it, it will probably take a lot of time and energy, and you may never get the answer.

however!
Just as Lin Lang was concentrating and reading carefully word by word, something wonderful happened –

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, like a bright meteor streaking through the dark night sky.

In an instant!
The meaning of those words that seemed like heavenly books, unexpectedly flowed into Lin Lang’s mind naturally and clearly like a clear stream.

The meaning of every character and every sentence becomes clear at a glance!
It was as if this knowledge already existed deep in his memory and was only awakened at this moment.

Lin Lang was startled, and then he realized——

This must be the law of wisdom at work!

The Law of Wisdom gives him an extraordinary understanding of knowledge!

It enabled him to break through the many obstacles of this obscure text!
Lin Lang continued to delve deeper.

Only then did I discover that this treasured book was a book of magic in the field of cultivation, and it belonged to the thunder series.

From between the lines, he could feel the tremendous thunder power and exquisite techniques contained therein.

Unfortunately!

For Lin Lang, although this “Heavenly Thunder Book” is extremely precious, it has little practical use.

After all, he had already awakened his thunder superpowers, and his control over the thunder element had reached a certain level.

If he were to practice the thunder magic again at this time, he would undoubtedly be giving up his existing advantages and pursuing unconventional ways.

This is really a case of neglecting the main point and pursuing the trivial. (End of this chapter)
