“Chee! (。⊙‿⊙。)” (I’m all recovered now!)
With its small claws, Qiuqiu gently tugged on Lin Su’s clothes and spoke softly.
“That’s good,” Lin Su let out a slight sigh of relief.
The second round of the ranking battle was about to begin. If Qiuqiu hadn’t recovered its strength, the upcoming battle could not be fought at full capacity.
During the fight with the third contender from the Yun Family, Qiuqiu’s consumption wasn’t that significant, but Qiuqiu’s was quite massive because it used the skill Devouring of Nihility.
Updated by ℕ○vG○.c○Theoretically speaking, the first round should end with the second placer challenging the first placer, and the second round should start with the new second placer challenging the new first placer.
However, Yun Mu gave up both chances.
Clearly, he knew he couldn’t possibly be a match for Yun Zhenzhen, so he chose not to disturb Yun Zhenzhen’s cultivation and conceded directly.
As if he had challenged and failed.
Thus, the second round would commence with Lin Su, the current third placer, starting.“Let’s begin,” Lin Su glanced at Yun Mu and then leapt down from the pillar.
Yun Mu nodded slightly, his toes touching the ground, and his body glided swiftly away like a bird soaring, pulling distance from Lin Su in mid-air while skillfully taking his longbow from behind.
Bend the bow, place the arrow!
A light blue wind formed a vortex at the sharp arrowhead, ready to strike.
Updated by N○vG○.c○The battle between the second and third placers!
In this instant, even Yun Zhenzhen couldn’t help but open her eyes and look towards the center of the arena.
The others watched even more intently, afraid to miss the slightest detail.
“Brother Lin, do you think your nephew Lin Su can win this match?” At the edge of the field, Yun Heran stood with his hands clasped behind his back, appearing detached. He grinned and looked towards Lin Zhen Nan.
“Naturally, I believe that Su’er will win,” Lin Zhen Nan replied indifferently, “You also thought he would lose the last match, didn’t you?”
“Uh…” Yun Heran was at a loss for words.
Lin Zhen Nan was referring to Lin Su’s previous battle against the third contender from the Yun Family—before that battle started, Yun Heran, familiar with his family members’ superior movement techniques, was confident that Lin Su was bound to lose, not expecting the outcome to be the complete opposite to what he had imagined.
“It’s different,” Yun Heran quickly recovered and shook his head a little, “Yun Zhe is strong in movement techniques, but his strength is only at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm, whereas Yun Mu is not weaker than Yun Zhe in movement technique and also possesses the complete strength of the Meridian Opening Realm. They can’t be mentioned in the same breath. For this battle, I still believe that Yun Mu will definitely win.”
He glanced at Lin Zhen Nan next to him, “How about we raise the stakes?”
“You tell me,” Lin Zhen Nan was non-committal.
“You, Brother Lin, bring out a bottle of Nayuan Pills, and I… will bring this out.” With a flash of light from Yun Heran’s Space Ring, two crystals shining with a seven-colored luster like diamonds appeared in his hand.
“Does the Yun Family still possess a Space Heart?” Lin Zhen Nan’s hand, hidden in his sleeve and resting on his back, clenched slightly.
“The Yun Family’s properties have collected some in the past; this item is always in high demand, so we don’t sell too many at once. Up to now, these two are left,” Yun Heran placed the Space Hearts back into the Space Ring, smiling, “Knowing that your nephew Lin Su is a Beast Tamer, I brought these items with me. Using them as a wager, what do you think, Brother Lin?”
“It seems Yun Brother has come prepared,” Lin Zhen Nan shook his head, “Let’s settle it that way.”
In the cultivation realms of Martial Arts Practitioners, the most common were not Body Refinement and the Meridian Opening Realm but the Nayuan Realm. Although the vast majority of Nayuan Realm powerhouses remain stuck in the first three levels for life without progressing an inch, breaking through from the Meridian Opening Realm to the Nayuan Realm is fairly easy.
The reason for this situation has to do with a special medicinal pill known as the Nayuan Pill.
The Nayuan Pill doesn’t enhance the strength of those in the Nayuan Realm, but each pill consumed increases the probability of breaking through from the complete Meridian Opening Realm to the Nayuan Realm by ten percent, so ten pills guarantee one hundred percent success in breaking through to the Nayuan Realm.
This means that as long as you have enough Nayuan Pills, even with poor talent in martial arts cultivation, you can reach the Nayuan Realm, as the previous stages of Body Refinement and Meridian Opening Realm don’t have much to do with talent and are all about grinding away over time.
Since the Nayuan Pill is so miraculous, it is naturally not cheap. It requires a combination of supernatural resources and a Secret Technique to be refined, some of which are quite rare. Therefore, the Nayuan Pill and the Space Heart are both items that are in great demand and short supply.
One Nayuan Pill is roughly equivalent in value to one Space Heart.
And when they mentioned a bottle of Nayuan Pills, they referred to three.
So strictly speaking, Lin father was at a disadvantage in this wager.
However, with the Beast Tamer preliminaries around the corner, the Space Heart had become even scarcer than before, whereas the Lin Family, a martial arts clan like theirs, still had some stock of Nayuan Pills.
So without much hesitation, Lin father agreed.
After all, he had also heard that recently Lin Su had been inquiring daily about the Space Heart, obviously in urgent need of it.
“Brother Lin doesn’t have to worry,” Yun Heran smiled, “Even if Lin Su loses, I’ll still provide these two Space Hearts in full, considering it a gift for your nephew upon meeting him.”
Lin Zhen Nan said nothing.
Yun Heran was very sly—if Lin Su lost and he presented these two Space Hearts, the implication would be different.
It meant that Lin Zhen Nan would have to pay a bottle of Nayuan Pills and also owe Yun Heran a favor.
