Chapter 42 - 43. Sincere Hug of Master and Apprentice! Touches the Innermost Being! (4/4)_1
During the journey where his Master flew him towards Fairy Cliff on Divine Phoenix Peak, Lin Xiao’s heart gradually grew heavy, and he sighed inwardly.
It wasn’t because he’d made a huge blunder today. Embarrassment, for a man like him singularly focused on completing the storyline and ascending to immortality, was a foreign concept.
What truly annoyed him was this: The protagonist, Ye Chen, had just been injured by Zhu Wanning and had also taken a punch from Xiao Hongling today. Could this guy really last until the major upcoming plot point of the Five Branches Martial Competition?
Even if Ye Chen did make it to the Five Branches Martial Competition timeline, could he really heal his injuries within a mere month, achieve a breakthrough in his abilities, and, on the day of the competition, challenge him with vigor, just as in the original storyline?
Lin Xiao doubted it.
Suffice it to say, under the chain collapse of the plot, Lin Xiao’s cultivation level had inexplicably broken through to the peak of the Innate realm, just Half-step from Golden Core. Moreover, he possessed the Formless Sword Intent, bestowed upon him by his Master Xiao Hongling through a Sword Intent Baptism!
Now, when comparing himself to Ye Chen, who had just entered Foundation Establishment, it was like a dragon pinning down its prey—he couldn’t even fathom how he might lose!
Forget it. Things have already come to this. I can only hope that in the next month, that mysterious old man in the ring can help this guy perform another miracle. And all I can do is complete the two sub-plots before the Five Branches Martial Competition, act my part as genuinely as possible then, and try to restore the original plot as much as possible.
After steeling his resolve, Lin Xiao thought no more of it.
"ACHOO—"
Lin Xiao shivered all over.
