Chapter 8, Conflict

During this period, she has been coming here in hopes of finding a bit of elixir to enhance Lin Dong's cultivation speed. Now that she has finally found a Red Sun Grass, how could she possibly hand it over to this despicable fellow

Lin Shan quickly turned around, looking at the figure that had appeared behind him, and was instantly overjoyed. Meanwhile, the expressions of those around him changed dramatically, with a flicker of fear evident in their eyes

Bastard

The sudden turn of events left everyone momentarily stunned, their gazes hurriedly shifting. Once they recognized who had arrived, sympathy immediately appeared in their eyes

"Will you give it or not? If you don't, I'm afraid Lin Dong will be here soon..." Lin Shan said, while deliberately pretending to look out, as if he was eagerly anticipating Lin Dong's arrival.

Through the wall of people, one can see a few somewhat robust figures standing in the center of the intersection, completely blocking the way. In front of these figures, there is a little girl dressed in light-colored clothing.

In Qing Tan's eyes, tears swirled with grievance, yet she stubbornly held them back. Her small hand tightly gripped the Chiyang grass, and then, biting her silver teeth, she fiercely threw it at Lin Shan.

"In that case, it seems you will have to spend the night here today," Lin Shan chuckled, glancing at Qing Tan. "It looks like that kid Lin Changqiang has run off; he must be looking for Lin Dong, right? That's fine, we didn't get to finish our last fight anyway"

Upon hearing this sentence, Qing Tan's small face changed slightly. She knew that Lin Dong and Lin Shan had always been at odds, and whenever they met, a fight would ensue. Each time they fought, it was Lin Dong who ended up at a disadvantage.

Bang

Fourth level of body tempering

"And the Chiyang grass has already been given to you, what more do you want?" Upon seeing Lin Shan's expression, Qing Tan's face changed, and she picked up the Chiyang grass that had fallen to the ground and threw it at Lin Shan, saying angrily

You wish!

Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, Lin Shan was clearly taken aback for a moment, then burst into a hearty laugh, teasingly staring at the former, and said: "It seems that your brain was also damaged last time, wasn't it?"

Bang!

Upon encountering Lin Shan's brazen and unreasonable demeanor, Lin Dong could not help but let out a cold laugh. He then grabbed the green sandalwood in front of him, stepped forward, and imitated Lin Shan's tone, saying: "I want the medicine, and I also want to beat you up today!"

You are talking nonsense

Indeed, Lin Dong, a wise man does not suffer immediate losses. Let's cultivate for a while longer before we teach this fellow a lesson. " Lin Changqi, who had been following closely, also spoke up hastily.

I want the medicine, and I also want to beat someone today! Lin Shan caught the Chiyang grass with one hand and said with a cold smile

Take it away

The others nearby also looked at Lin Dong with strange expressions. While being tough is commendable, being overly stubborn can lead to self-inflicted suffering. The two had fought numerous times in the past, but each time, it was Lin Dong who ended up bruised and battered.

"Lin Dong, do not fight with him; we can forgo the Chiyang Grass." Upon seeing Lin Dong once again confronting Lin Shan, Qing Tan hurriedly pulled him back and said anxiously

Lin Shan, do not go too far!

Haha

"The next level of martial arts, Falling Stone Fist? I never expected Lin Shan to start practicing martial arts as well; Lin Dong is in trouble now." As soon as they saw Lin Dong's stance, the surroundings erupted in an uproar.

"Hehe, we discovered this Chiyang grass yesterday, but we were just waiting to come and collect it today. You took our things and still say I am being excessive?" The leader, a young boy who appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, crossed his arms and looked at the furious Qingtan, smiling.

Such hard skin is clearly a characteristic that only individuals who have reached the fourth level of body tempering can possess

As soon as the fist made contact, Lin Shan's body trembled, and a surge of immense force quickly flowed from the fist. He was then horrified to feel a wave of pain emanating from his fists, which were as hard as wood and stone.

Hehe, very well-behaved

However, although there was a sense of heartache and indignation, many hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing not to speak up. Lin Shan, among the younger generation of the Lin family, was a little tyrant; his own strength was considerable, and with his father managing the family's finances, no one was willing to offend him. Even if someone reported him to the elders, the worst that would happen would be a few days of confinement. Once he was released, he would secretly retaliate against those who reported him. Over time, very few among the younger generation dared to confront him.

Brother

Want to leave? It's not that easy!

You! Upon hearing this, Qing Tan's small face turned red with anger, and her little hands clenched into fists, seemingly taken aback by Lin Shan's shamelessness

Qingtan fixed her gaze on the leader among those figures, her light and agile voice tinged with a hint of anger

Tongbei Quan, three sounds? How is that possible

At this moment, at the entrance of the forest, there were quite a number of people gathered. Most of these individuals appeared to be around their teenage years, clearly belonging to the younger generation of the Lin family

As fists collided, it seemed as if the sound of stones clashing echoed. However, what left everyone in astonishment was that Lin Dong had actually withstood Lin Shan's punch with sheer strength

At this moment, the astonishment in Lin Shan's eyes grew even more intense. He had naturally heard of Tongbei Quan, which is considered a standout among first-class martial arts. He had originally intended to practice this boxing technique, but after ten days of training without being able to produce a sound, he had no choice but to abandon it. Who would have thought that Lin Dong, who had never been his opponent before, could actually succeed in mastering it

Qingtan bit down on a small silver tooth; during this period, she has been watching Lin Dong train desperately, and she understands that in just a few months, it will be the Lin family's clan competition. If Lin Dong performs poorly in the competition, not only will he suffer setbacks, but his parents will undoubtedly be affected as well

Lin Shan let out a sneer, his figure suddenly surged forward, and in just a few strides, he appeared in front of Lin Dong. With his fingers tightly clenched into a fist, he struck directly at the latter's chest, accompanied by a faint sound of rushing wind.

As Lin Shan executed the first move of the Lin Shan Fist, a sudden sharp shout rang out. Veins bulged on his arms, and immediately several shadows of punches appeared, resembling a cascade of falling rocks, forcefully descending upon Lin Dong's head. The momentum was akin to a shower of chaotic stones.

"Give me the red sun grass, and I won't hit him, how about that?" Upon seeing the change in Qing Tan's expression, Lin Shan laughed heartily and said with pride

Hearing this, Lin Shan was infuriated, her small face turning red. She had put in a great deal of effort to find this Chiyang grass; how could it possibly have been discovered by this guy beforehand? Moreover, if he truly knew about the Chiyang grass in advance, how could he continue to stay there? Was he deliberately waiting for others to come and collect it?

I can and the picture book is not nonsense

How is that possible? This kid was only at the second level half a month ago, how could he suddenly soar to the fourth level? Lin Shan's eyes were filled with disbelief, but he soon gritted his teeth and thought, even if you have reached the fourth level of body tempering, don't think you can compete with me

Gazing at Lin Shan's powerful punch, Lin Dong's lips curled into a cold smile, yet he did not flinch or evade. He extended his palm, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, his hand collided forcefully with Lin Shan's fist.

Faced with the four resounding strikes of the Tongbei Fist, Lin Shan's stance of the Falling Rock Fist completely collapsed, his footsteps hurriedly retreating. Ultimately, his ankle stumbled, and under the astonished gazes surrounding him, he was about to fall to the ground.

Qingtan bit her lip tightly, her eyes slightly red, and her appearance made many people feel a pang of sympathy. Although Qingtan is not technically a member of the Lin family, her youthful age has already made her quite charming and attractive. It is not only in the Lin family but even throughout Qingyang Town that many young men harbor feelings for her.

Lin Dong smiled, but his gaze quickly turned cold. With a shake of his arm, another crisp sound echoed, followed by a heavier punch that directly struck Lin Shan's arms.

The back mountain of the Lin family connects to a relatively vast forest. Within this forest, if one is fortunate, one might occasionally find one or two spiritual herbs. Therefore, during their leisure time, many of the younger generation from the Lin family come here to try their luck. As a result, this forest is considered a rather lively place for the Lin family.

Rockfall Fist

However, at the moment Lin Shan fell to the ground, a hand suddenly reached out, grasping his shoulder, and with a gentle lift, steadied him.

Lin Dong's gaze was fixed directly on the several shadows of fists coming at him like a torrent. Although Lin Shan's set of Falling Stone Fist was not weak in momentum, for some reason, it appeared to Lin Dong to be full of flaws. Without hesitation, he directly unleashed the stance of the Tongbei Fist.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

You bastard

Lin Shan looked at the adorable expression of Qing Tan when she was angry, yet he said with a playful smile: "Qing Tan, hand over the Chiyang grass to me, and I will let you go"

Upon seeing this, Lin Shan was immediately overjoyed. He stepped forward and reached out to grab the Chiyang Grass that was being swung towards him. However, just as he was about to seize the Chiyang Grass, a figure suddenly broke through the crowd and collided heavily with his body. The force was so great that it knocked him over, causing him to roll on the ground twice before finally coming to a stop

The girl had features as exquisite as a painting, her skin as white as snow. Despite her young age, she exuded a breathtaking aura. At this moment, she was gazing angrily at the figure blocking her path with her spirited eyes. In her small hands, which were smeared with some mud, she tightly clutched a vibrant red plant, from which a faint fragrance subtly emanated.

It is not three sounds, but four sounds

At this moment, Lin Shan also crawled up from the ground, disregarding the mud all over his body. He looked towards the figure standing in place, and a surge of hostility rose in his eyes as he coldly laughed and said: "Lin Dong? Good, it’s been a few days since we last met, and you’ve really grown bold. It seems I was too lenient when I last beat you; you haven’t learned much of a lesson, have you?"

In this encounter, Lin Shan immediately sensed something was amiss; the opponent's skin felt to him surprisingly no less soft than his own

Bang

The sound of the sleeves striking against the arms was crisp and resonant, quickly spreading through the air, while at the same time, Lin Dong's fist collided with the shadow of Lin Shan's fist.
