9 Chapter 7: Lin Zhuang’s Spring (2)_1
Translator: 549690339
In mid-air, a piece of willow leaf twists and turns…
Not leaning to either side.
It lands directly on the young man beneath it.
Then it disappears without a trace.
The young man who was passionately engaged in conversation suddenly pauses.
The next moment.
The young man abruptly stands up with a “boing” sound.
“Is this… is this the scripture granted by Lord Willow God?” Lin Zhuang, feeling the sudden intrusion of unfamiliar memories in his mind, expressed shock, followed by a face full of joy.
Without any doubt.
Lin Zhuang closes his eyes, carefully feeling the Body Refining Scripture.
The more he comprehends it, the more he realizes the profound horror of this unfamiliar inheritance in his mind.
Upon achieving minor accomplishments, one can possess the power of ten thousand catties, while with Completion you can even have control over a hundred thousand catties of colossal strength.
Lin Zhuang had no idea what it meant to have a hundred thousand catties of strength, but he clearly remembered his mother telling him that the force that had destroyed their tribe and made them flee here had only been a few thousands catties.
After a long while, the young man opens his eyes, then takes three steps and two, walks quickly to Jiang Hui, and kneels down heavily.
Even more reverent than last time.
The breeze blows, causing the finely dressed willow branches to dance in the wind…
And… that towering willow tree that, in the eyes of the boy, seems to support the sky and the earth.
It is so majestic and mysterious.
He had originally thought that Lord Willow God had never paid any attention to him, and that saving him that day was just a spur of the moment action.
But it was not until this moment that the young man understood that Lord Willow God was always there, always quietly watching over him from high above.
And everything that happened today proved his guess.
He passed Lord Willow God’s test and received Lord Willow God’s reward and recognition!
After obtaining the Body Refining Scripture, Lin Zhuang’s visits to Jiang Hui became more frequent and more prolonged, often spending a whole day at a time there.
Besides the daily chitchat, he spent most of his time demonstrating the body refining techniques from the Body Refining Scripture in front of Jiang Hui.
Lin Zhuang’s talent was pretty good; although he was practicing on his own, he still practiced with style.
This was the benefit of the system’s transmission of skills.
No need for any guidance from others. Although the degree of comprehension may vary from person to person, as long everyone is willing to put in effort, everyone can make some achievements.
Even though it’s just a basic body refining method, the Body Refining Scripture brought quite significant changes to Lin Zhuang.
In less than half a month, Lin Zhuang’s body became stronger. His figure was more robust than before, and his muscles had become more explosive, like a cheetah.
Feeling the improvements in his body, Lin Zhuang became even more diligent, almost to the point of neglecting both sleep and food.
And as the boy continued such diligent study and hard work, five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zhuang was twenty years old now.
The couple had also reached the age of forty.
The once little kid had grown even taller, with a bear-like waist and a tiger-like back. His upper body formed a metallic-like inverted triangle, making him look like a prehistoric beast, towering over his father by a full head.
With diligent study and hard work for five years, combined with his decent talent, the young man’s strength had made great progress. He had reached the point where he could easily tear apart large dangerous beasts like lions and tigers with his bare hands. His combat strength was formidable and he no longer needed traps or weapons to assist him.
On this day.
In front of Jiang Hui.
Lin Zhuang was practicing the techniques from the Body Refining Scripture orderly and systematically, creating a wind with his movements.
Compared with his initial practice, Lin Zhuang’s movements were now extremely proficient, showing no trace of unfamiliarity or hesitation.
“Ha…”
“Hei…”
On the training ground, Lin Zhuang’s punching movements were smooth and continuous, his actions were as light as a butterfly and as powerful as a thunderbolt, imitating the movement of a hawk catching a rabbit and a cat catching a mouse, showing that he had made some achievements.
“The scripture wrote that by practicing to a minor accomplishment one could possess a strength of ten thousand catties. I suppose I now fall into this category.” Finishing his punches, he easily lifted a huge rock as tall as a person next to him.
Without any scale, he could only roughly estimate, but he gauged it was close enough.
With a strength of ten thousand catties, one punch could explode the heads of lions and tigers instantly.
But despite his significant progress, Lin Zhuang wasn’t overly confident at all.
Until now, the image of the giant python from years ago would intermittently flash across his mind. Even with his current abilities, dealing with that giant python was still an uphill task. He estimated that the python could easily snap his spine in half with just one tail sweep.
He was still too weak!
But Lin Zhuang was very satisfied.
His strength had increased countless times, and even his father was no match for him.
“Lord Willow God, in the past few days my father mentioned that there have been strange marks in the vicinity, as if they were left by other people. My father and I decided to investigate tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to accompany Lord Willow God.”
Lin Zhuang finished his techniques and respectfully spoke.
Although Lord Willow God had not responded to him all this time, he knew Lord Willow God was always watching.
For this reason, he had wanted to tell his family about the Willow God for years, but without his consent, he didn’t dare to make such a decision.
“More people coming?”
Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised. How had he not noticed?
Subconsciously.
Jiang Hui amplified the Five Senses to the extreme and finally discovered the foreign visitors Lin Zhuang mentioned on a low hill.
More than thirty people, all armed, exuding a murderous aura.
The leader was a burly man in a Tiger Skin Beast Robe, full-faced with a goatee, and a centipede-like scar several inches long slanting across his left cheek, looking quite terrifying.
These people were hiding in the disordered shrubs, their bodies covered with branches and weeds, very concealed. No wonder Jiang Hui didn’t notice them at first.
“Trouble is coming!”
Jiang Hui’s gaze was deep as he glanced several times at the scarred man.
Since his last upgrade, his Five Senses not only increased the range dramatically, but more importantly, acquired a special ability.
He could sense the danger level of other beings. And this scarred man gave him a feeling stronger than that of Lin Zhuang and stronger than that of the couple.
But he couldn’t stop Lin Zhuang from going either.
These people were full of hostility, clearly aiming for Lin Zhuang’s family.
If they’re in trouble, they should face it head-on.
Of course, the most important thing was that although the opponents were stronger than Lin Zhuang’s family, they were not that much stronger—Little Black alone could easily take them down.
If Lin Zhuang really can’t handle it, they could still intervene. After all, Lin Zhuang was his first human follower, and he should provide as much care as possible.
…
…
After paying nine kowtows towards Jiang Hui, Lin Zhuang hurriedly descends the mountain.
They passed the night without speaking.
The next day, as dawn was just breaking and fog was rising…
In front of the tree cave.
“Old Brother, you and Second Brother go to the east, I go to the west, let’s split up to investigate. Remember, don’t act rashly. Once you find something, you have to tell me before you act.”
After hanging the long-untouched sword behind his back, Lin Meng’s gaze sweeps over Lin Zhuang and the others.
“Old Brother, you are the strongest, but also the most reckless. I don’t care about anything else, but this time you must be careful. Take care of yourself, and take care of Second Brother.”
Lin Meng pats Lin Zhuang’s shoulder heavily and says.
