Chapter 853 Spirit Vein Imminent
Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Spirit Vein Imminent Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Spirit Vein Imminent Dugu Nian hummed twice, his expression very proud, as if he had won a great victory.
Fang Lin, feeling helpless, impatiently pushed Dugu Nian aside.
“Aren’t you going to try the Battle Spirit Temple again? Stop clinging to me,” said Fang Lin.
Dugu Nian pouted his mouth, but he didn’t make any more trouble and turned to enter the Battle Spirit Temple.
Besides Dugu Nian, there were also a few others who entered the Battle Spirit Temple, hoping to test their strength.
However, because of the astonishing achievements of Long Zhiming and Fang Lin, the others’ attempts to tackle the Battle Spirit Temple didn’t attract much attention.
Fang Lin and Long Zhiming each sat cross-legged under a golden pillar, although both their auras were at their peak, they seemed not satisfied at all, maintaining a state of cultivation.
No one disturbed the two of them; by now, even the members of the Long Family had completely put away their contempt for Fang Lin, admitting that he was a formidable person with extremely terrifying potential.
Ling Zhongri, Zhu Tianchuan, and Xu Kaitian all bore gloomy and reluctant expressions. The more astonishing Fang Lin’s performance was, the more uncomfortable they felt, with an indescribable sense of crisis.
Especially Ling Zhongri, as a member of the Ling Family, he was very clear about the current attitude of the Ling Family towards Fang Lin—they definitely wanted to eliminate him quickly.
But now, with Fang Lin’s astonishing performance, if he were allowed to continue growing, it would not be so easy for the Ling Family to deal with him.
At least among the younger generation of the Ling Family, there should be no one who could rival Fang Lin now, not even among the older generation, there were only a few who could suppress him.
“The strong members of the family must take action at all costs to eliminate this Fang Lin, or else the conflict with our Ling Family cannot be resolved and will sooner or later become a scourge,” Ling Zhongri thought to himself and contacted his family through the Message Transmitting Jade Slip.
Zhu Tianchuan and Xu Kaitian also contacted their families. Although their feud with Fang Lin was not that great, they also didn’t want to see Fang Lin grow stronger, hoping that the elders in their families would take action against Fang Lin.
Of course, Fang Lin had no idea about any of this, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be too concerned.
Making enemies with Alchemy Tao noble families was an inevitable encounter, and with irreconcilable differences, he could not possibly bow down.
“My realm is already at the Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer, my foundation is solid, my Inner Strength stable without a trace of flimsiness, just a bit more consolidation and I can attempt to reach the Spirit Vein,” Fang Lin said to himself internally, slowly forming a plan.
Reaching the Spirit Vein was something Fang Lin had to strive for, and the sooner he entered, the better.
After all, the current times were unlike the past; in the battles between the Talents of the Nine Countries, Fang Lin must reach the Spirit Vein Realm, or else he would be at a considerable disadvantage against those true Talents from the Nine Countries.
As for how to step into the Spirit Vein, although Fang Lin had many methods, he wanted to maximize his strength, so the approach to entering the Spirit Vein required careful consideration.
Fang Lin glanced at Long Zhiming. Though his look was calm, his heart was somewhat heavy.
The strength of Long Zhiming had brought Fang Lin pressure. Such characters in the battles between the Talents of the Nine Countries would surely not be few, and there might even be talents more terrifying than Long Zhiming—those would be the real enemies.
It was hard for him to gain an advantage over Long Zhiming, and if he faced other talents or even more terrifying individuals, it would be even less likely.
In the end, Fang Lin’s starting point was simply too low; being born in a large family or powerful faction indeed had many advantages.
Outside the Battle Spirit Temple, on the stone slab, the names of several people emerged, with the numbers below their names constantly changing.
Among them, Dugu Nian’s performance was the most outstanding; she had broken her own records from her first entry into the Battle Spirit Temple, defeating forty spirit entities.
As for the others, their performances varied from good to poor, but none matched Dugu Nian.
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed, and Dugu Nian had reached fifty-one spirit entities.
“Not bad, a promising prospect indeed,” Elder Huang nodded continuously, a smile on his face.
Although Dugu Nian’s performance was far from Fang Lin’s and Long Zhiming’s, and it was her second attempt at the Battle Spirit Temple, her cultivation was on par with Fang Lin’s. Moreover, as a woman, being able to reach this stage was quite remarkable.
Of course, in the Nine Countries, there were not just talented women, but quite a few of them. Elder Huang knew of several who had shone brightly in the battles of the talents from the Nine Countries, losing nothing to men.
Dugu Nian was considered talented, but compared to those exceptional women, she was still quite inferior.
“You two, aren’t you planning to challenge the Battle Spirit Temple again? Perhaps you could make a breakthrough,” Elder Huang said, looking at Fang Lin and Long Zhiming.
Fang Lin and Long Zhiming looked at each other and then heard Long Zhiming say, “I will try once more.”
Fang Lin also said with a smile, “Same for me.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Huang nodded and did not ask further.
When Dugu Nian faced the fifty-fourth spirit entity, she had reached her limit and exited the Battle Spirit Temple.
Her performance was considered very good, but she herself was somewhat dispirited, feeling that the gap between herself and Fang Lin was too wide.
Continually, others entered the Battle Spirit Temple, and some achieved good results, but the majority’s performances could only be considered average.
However, it was no wonder, since most of these people were Pill Refiners. Their Martial Arts realms were passable, but their actual strength was naturally not on par with that of true Martial Artists.
And the spirit entities were comparable to true Martial Artists, not so easily dealt with.
Seven days later, Long Zhiming entered the Battle Spirit Temple for the second time, drawing the attention of many once again.
Seeing this, Fang Lin did not delay any longer and almost simultaneously entered the Battle Spirit Temple with Long Zhiming.
But this time, neither of them stayed long within the Battle Spirit Temple.
Though their strength had been enhanced the first time they challenged the Battle Spirit Temple, there was still no chance of surpassing their limits to defeat the spirit entities at the Spirit Bone realm.
In the end, both reached the same stage as before, stopping at the seventy-second and seventy-third spirit entities, respectively.
If they had used treasures, they indeed could have pushed forward, but both chose not to do so; even historically, no one who challenged the Battle Spirit Temple was foolish enough to use treasures.
Facing one’s true strength is the attitude a Martial Artist should have. Anyone can rely on treasures, but what matters most is the Martial Artist’s own strength.
After leaving the Battle Spirit Temple, neither wanted to enter a third time; they had reached their limits, and another attempt would be meaningless.
“With the results you two have achieved, you are entitled to generous rewards,” Elder Huang said to Fang Lin and Long Zhiming.
