Chapter 149 - 10 Testing
The sky was filled with leaden clouds, seemingly ready to crush down. Heavy snow poured mercilessly from the depths of the heavens, each flake carrying a piercing chill. They tumbled in the wind, forming sharp white storms, sweeping through every corner of Yanghua, covering withered vegetation, and plunging everything into silence.
At the Zhu family martial arts hall, outside the courtyard, on top of a large tree, two figures in white coats were concealed among the branches. One figure was slender and handsome, the other burly and strong. Despite the biting cold, a foot of snow had already accumulated on their bodies, yet they remained motionless, like stone sculptures.
Only the bright eyes on their faces betrayed that they were indeed alive.
On the tree branches, when they saw Lin Yuan easily kill Lu Hualiang, their calm breathing showed some slight fluctuations.
"Shixin, should we act now?" The burly figure transmitted this through a slight wave of energy to Pei Shixin beside him, saying, "If we don’t intervene, I’m afraid something might happen to Shen Wanpo the Guest Elder and Lin the Pill Master when facing Hong Wenli and their elders."
"Uncle Song, aids gained easily are often discarded like old shoes. Only at a critical moment does assistance in dire times appear precious, highlighting our Pei family’s care and kindness towards Lin Yuan," Pei Shixin also transmitted his voice energetically, shaking his head slightly. "You must realize, Lin Yuan has been in the academy for less than half a year and has already surpassed the Condensing Yuan realm. Have you ever seen such a speed of improvement?"
"Isn’t Lin Yuan a middle-grade Pill Master?" Song Qixuan refuted, "As an Alchemist, obtaining pills isn’t hard. Consuming large amounts of medicine pills, even with poor talent, provides a significant chance to step into Condensing Yuan. Such speed is also normal for him."
"Uncle Song, you’ve neglected a point," Pei Shixin argued again, "Martial Artists relying on consuming massive amounts of pills often have weak intent, and their energy quality can’t compare to those who train diligently and accumulate step by step."
"Just now you also saw. When Lin Yuan controlled Ouyang Xing, his energy fluctuations were even lighter than Ouyang Xing’s, what does that indicate? It indicates that Lin Yuan’s ’intent’ has accumulated to a certain degree, leaving Ouyang Xing defenseless."
Pei Shixin cast a faint gaze at Lin Yuan, who faced Hong Huaiyun and his companions in the hall with composure.
"Look at Lin Yuan’s attitude again, facing such scenarios, he appears quite confident. I want to see what extent his strength has reached! Our Pei family, unclear about his strength, can’t feel secure using him."
