"Oh?" Lin Fan uttered just a single word.
Lin Tianlin said, "If it weren't for these Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines you have, you all would already be prisoners by now. However, what you did was merely taking advantage of the situation, not relying on your true strength."
At this point, Lin Tianlin paused briefly and continued, "If you want me to be thoroughly convinced and admit defeat, you'll have to use your real power to beat me."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "This kind of provocation is really weak. Do you think I'd fall for that?"
Lin Tianlin burst into laughter and said, "What? Don't you dare to have a proper fight with me? If you truly have the guts, then one month from now, let's have a fair duel. If you win, do whatever you wish with me, but if you lose, your lineage must relinquish the position of the Family Head."
"Do you dare?"
As Lin Tianlin spoke, he looked at Lin Fan with a challenging gaze.
Everyone present shook their heads.
Because everyone felt that under these circumstances, Lin Fan was unlikely to agree.
After all, Lin Fan's side had already won a complete victory, and it wasn't necessary to take further risks.
However...
To everyone's surprise, Lin Fan actually started to laugh, then said, "You want to be thoroughly convinced, huh? Alright then, I'll do as you wish."
"I'll give you one more month."
Lin Fan appeared very indifferent.
Lin Tianlin asked, "Really?"
Lin Fan nodded.
Lin Tianlin said, "Good. One month from now, on the Life and Death Platform, don't be absent."
Following that, Lin Tianlin and the Great Elder Lin Zhenhua directly left.
The Law Enforcement Elder said at this time, "Young master, you shouldn't have let Lin Zhenhua and the others leave. That's like letting the tiger return to the mountain."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I want to see just how much Lin Tianlin can grow in one month. I want to slay him with my own hands in front of everyone, making him die utterly convinced and accepting."
As he spoke, a murderous aura surged out from Lin Fan.
He paused for a moment, then regained his composure and said, "Alright, you have all received Spiritual Medicines, go and refine them quickly."
Soon, the crowd had dispersed, leaving only Sky Star Elder, Lin Zhenxiong, and Lin Fan there.
Lin Zhenxiong asked Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, where exactly did those Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines of yours come from?"
Lin Fan, naturally wouldn't conceal anything from Lin Zhenxiong and honestly said, "They were brought out from beneath the cliff at the back mountain."
"What? You've been to the bottom of the cliff?" Sky Star Elder and Lin Zhenxiong both looked at Lin Fan in surprise.
Then the Sky Star Elder asked, "How is that possible? The back mountain cliff is bottomless; no creature has ever been to the bottom of the cliff, nor has any creature ever come out alive. How could you possibly come out alive?"
Lin Fan replied, "Grandfather, Sky Star Elder, actually there is a secret pathway in our Lin Family that leads to the back mountain cliff. Moreover, within the back mountain cliff are countless Spiritual Medicines. Besides Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines, there are even Seventh Grade ones."
What?
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Zhenxiong and Sky Star Elder were ecstatic beyond measure.
They were well aware that if everything Lin Fan said was true, then for a long time to come, the overall strength of the Lin Family could surely rise to the next level by relying on the Spiritual Medicines from the back mountain cliff.
Afterward, Lin Fan shared the secret pathway to the back mountain cliff with Lin Zhenxiong and Sky Star Elder, and then Lin Fan himself returned to his own courtyard to begin his peaceful cultivation.
Currently, Lin Fan had just formed his Martial Soul, and it was the best opportunity for cultivation, which he naturally didn't want to miss.
Inside Lin Fan's courtyard, he sat quietly. Initially, the area around Lin Fan was very peaceful, and from time to time, Lin Fan would form a series of peculiar hand seals.
At a certain moment, Lin Fan's body suddenly began to spin wildly.
And in the instant that Lin Fan's body began to spin, the Heaven and Earth Energy around him boiled over violently, roaring chaotically, and then, as if drawn by some force, it surged crazily into his body, where it was voraciously absorbed by the Purple Mansion within him.
At the same time, Lin Fan's Cultivation began to rise rapidly; soon, he became a true Cultivator, reaching the Initial Profound Realm Early Period.
The levels of Cultivation were divided into Initial Profound Realm, Into Profound Realm, True Profound Realm, Earth Profound Realm, and Heavenly Profound Realm; each level was further divided into Early Period, Middle Period, Late Period, and Great Perfection.
Next, Lin Fan's Cultivation still soared, quickly reaching the Initial Profound Realm Middle Period, and then the Initial Profound Realm Late Period.
It was only after reaching the Late Period of the Initial Profound Realm that Lin Fan's Cultivation increase slowed down.
If anyone knew that Lin Fan had raised his Cultivation to the Late Period of the Initial Profound Realm on the same day he had awakened his Martial Soul, they would be shocked beyond measure. Such speed in Cultivation was simply too defy the heavens.
Not long after, Lin Zhenxiong sent someone to deliver a spear to Lin Fan, the Dragon Abyss Spear.
The Dragon Abyss Spear was obtained by Lin Fan's father by chance in an Ancient Cave Mansion. Since there had been no one in the Lin Family who had awakened a spear-related Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Spear had always been kept in the Lin Family's Weapon Pavilion.
"Hmm?"
Lin Fan looked at the runes on the Dragon Abyss Spear, thinking to himself, "This Dragon Abyss Spear is not bad, it's just a pity that the runes on the spear body are a bit old. I'll find time to repair these runes later."
"Next, I'll cultivate the Soul Essence Spear Technique."
The Soul Essence Spear Technique was one of the many Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills in Lin Fan's memories, and it was most suitable for the current Lin Fan to Cultivate.
...
Lin Fan held the spear in his hand, standing quietly in the courtyard, like a solitary pine standing tall.
"One Element Soul-snatching Spear."
At a certain moment, Lin Fan suddenly exclaimed, and the Dragon Abyss Spear in his hand thrust out in a strange trajectory, causing an explosion of air, as if to blast open.
It was hard to imagine that a mere Cultivator in the Initial Profound Realm could unleash such a powerful spear attack?
However, Lin Fan shook his head, apparently not very satisfied with the power of this thrust, muttering to himself, "Still no good, at most it only unleashed one-tenth the power of the spear."
"Continue!"
After that, Lin Fan continued practicing with the spear.
Spear thrust after spear thrust, repeating the same motion - if it were an ordinary person, it would have become tedious and dull long ago. However, Lin Fan was no ordinary person; each thrust, each motion was pursued to perfection, for only in this way could the power of the spear technique be unleashed to the greatest extent.
Early the next morning, the maid in charge of looking after Lin Zhenxiong arrived and respectfully said to Lin Fan, "Young Master, the Family Head asks for your presence."
Lin Fan stowed his spear and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
But Lin Fan was curious, what did the old Master want with him?
Nevertheless, Lin Fan didn't overthink it; after washing up, he headed straight to Lin Zhenxiong's courtyard.
When Lin Fan arrived, Lin Zhenxiong was standing quietly in the courtyard, and suddenly turned around.
"Hmm?"
Lin Zhenxiong was startled, looking at Lin Fan in disbelief, and said, "I didn't expect your Cultivation to break through so fast, having already reached the Late Period of the Initial Profound Realm? Not bad, worthy indeed of a Seven-star Ancient Martial Soul."
Lin Fan asked, "Grandfather, did you call me over for something?"
Lin Zhenxiong said, "It's not good news."
Lin Fan didn't speak, simply looking at Lin Zhenxiong.
After a brief pause, Lin Zhenxiong said, "According to reliable information, your father has been trapped deep within the Space Fragments in the Outer Realm Battlefield."
"What?" Lin Fan was shocked.
Within the Outer Realm Battlefield, where countless Space Fragments existed, even King Profound Realm powerhouses, once trapped in the Outer Realm Space Fragments, would find it very difficult to return, and ultimately could only die within the Space Fragments.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan's father Lin Tianyu, had become trapped within the Outer Realm Space Fragments?
