Watching his son Breakthrough to level twenty to become a Spirit Grandmaster, and even hunting a thousand-year Spirit Beast all by himself, Father Lin and Mother Lin could finally rest assured and let Lin Yuan leave home.
Just like that, Lin Yuan packed his luggage, brought the dry rations prepared by his parents, and under their watchful eyes, embarked on the ‘path of seeking knowledge’ heading towards Soto City.
In order not to implicate his parents in what he would do in the future, Lin Yuan did not rush to rent a carriage.
Instead, after leaving the city, he covered his face with black clothes, wore a veil and a bamboo hat, and ran all the way to another city hundreds of miles away to rent a carriage.
To prevent others from figuring out his identity, he even put on gloves.
After finishing all this, he finally sat cross-legged and Cultivated with peace of mind.
Time flashed by, and seven days passed.
When the carriage was only two to three hundred miles away from Soto City, a sudden voice caused Lin Yuan to exit his Cultivate state.
“Get the hell out of there, you people inside!
This carriage belongs to this young master now.”
The voice was extremely arrogant, and at first listen, it had the flavor of a prodigal son.
“My Lord, someone is blocking the road outside.”
The coachman was an honest and dutiful middle-aged man.
When renting the carriage, after seeing the Spirit Grandmaster badge that Lin Yuan ‘inadvertently’ revealed, he had been extremely respectful to him.
Lin Yuan lifted the door curtain and saw from afar a teenager with blond hair, double pupils, and attire that was luxurious yet exceptionally disheveled, blocking the carriage’s path.
It looked like he had run into trouble.
“It’s actually him!”
In Douluo Dalu, being able to possess double pupils and appearing on this only route to Soto City during this time period, Lin Yuan really couldn’t think of anyone else besides Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai obviously also saw Lin Yuan, whose face was covered by a black robe.
Seeing that he still hadn’t gotten off the carriage, he immediately threatened, “You hiding-head-and-tail fellow inside, still not getting off?
If you don’t get down, be careful or this young master won’t be polite to you.”
As he spoke, a phantom of a white tiger appeared behind him, two spirit rings slowly rose beneath his feet, and a dazzling and eye-catching light wound around his body.
“I’ll just teach him a lesson.”
Thinking this in his heart, Lin Yuan did not speak and simply slowly got off the carriage.
Seeing Lin Yuan getting off the carriage, a smug smile of ‘consider yourself sensible’ couldn’t help but appear on Dai Mubai’s face.
But before he could be happy for long, he saw the black-robed person opposite him slightly bend the five fingers of his right hand, making a claw-like shape and grabbing forward into empty air.
Blue Qi flames rose from his palm, and then he grabbed over with lightning-fast speed.
“Audacious!”
Dai Mubai was both shocked and angry.
What shocked him was that the newcomer actually possessed such terrifying speed, and what angered him was that when he was in the Star Luo Empire, he was bullied by his eldest brother Dai Weisi.
After fleeing the Star Luo Empire, he still had to be bullied by others; wouldn’t that mean he fled in vain?
Immediately, the muscles all over his body expanded, barbs popped out from his ten fingers, and he quickly completed the White Tiger Possession, then met the attack with a claw.
Bang!
The tiger’s claw, which in the past could even shatter stones, was abruptly halted the moment it touched the blue Qi flames.
At the same time, a great force and a strong burning sensation came from his palm.
With only a crisp crack, the sound of bones breaking rang out.
Following that, Dai Mubai’s entire body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
Before losing consciousness, he saw Lin Yuan walking towards him, muttering in his mouth, “How could he possibly be this strong…”
After saying this, he fell to the ground and slid for several meters, then his whites of the eyes rolled up, and he passed out completely.
Dai Mubai was not a fool.
The reason he dared to provoke the opponent was because he saw that the Soul Power fluctuations on the opponent’s body were not strong, at least not stronger than his own.
Unexpectedly, with just a single strike, he was knocked down by someone who hadn’t even released his Spirit and whose Soul Power was lower than his.
The key was that he didn’t even see the opponent’s appearance, so he would have nowhere to seek revenge in the future.
Where could he reason with this?
Lin Yuan naturally didn’t know Dai Mubai’s thoughts, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
Ever since he Cultivated the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill and the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula, his strength was no longer judged by his Soul Power and the number of spirit rings.
With the third layer of his Supreme Sacred Universe Skill, if he couldn’t even instantly kill Dai Mubai, who only had the cultivation of a Spirit Grandmaster, then he wouldn’t need to hang out anymore and could just go straight home to marry a few wives and concubines, enjoying a cozy life with a warm kang, wife, and children.
After knocking Dai Mubai unconscious, Lin Yuan habitually stepped forward to loot the corpse.
The coachman had long since grown accustomed to this.
Because the previous city was relatively far from Soto City, along the way, they had encountered several waves of robbing bandits.
Every time, they were beaten and killed by the Spirit Master Lord in front of him, who would then turn around and loot their wealth.
And the reason he was willing to take this job was, on one hand, because Lin Yuan paid a lot of money.
On the other hand, Lin Yuan promised to protect his safety along the way, and after reaching the destination, promised to give him enough money to commission a local Spirit Grandmaster to protect him back to his original city.
Only this time, perhaps because the person blocking the road only wanted to rob the carriage, Lin Yuan did not kill the opponent.
Instead, after looting his wealth, he threw him to the most conspicuous place on the roadside like picking up a dead dog.
After doing this, Lin Yuan took Dai Mubai’s spirit tool, returned to the carriage, and hit the road again.
Inside the carriage, Lin Yuan was inspecting Dai Mubai’s belongings.
A storage spirit tool bracelet with a space of ten cubic meters.
Inside the spirit tool bracelet, there were about two to three thousand gold coins, a gold card, a Star Luo Imperial Family token, and a few sets of clothes for changing.
Useless things like clothes were casually thrown out of the carriage window by Lin Yuan.
The gold coins were also transferred by Lin Yuan into his own spirit tool.
The token might be useful at some point, so Lin Yuan chose to keep it for the time being.
However, this gold card was somewhat tasteless; it actually had a white tiger logo on it.
“Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and before entering Shrek Academy, someone must be secretly protecting him.”
“As long as this fellow isn’t killed or crippled, these people won’t step out to interfere.”
“As for this gold card, if the people behind him didn’t follow, I’ll just take it out and splurge it all at once.”
Making up his mind, Lin Yuan lifted a corner of the curtain and looked back.
Sure enough, after the carriage had gone far away, several men in black darted out from the nearby small woods.
After reconnecting Dai Mubai’s bones, one of the healing-type Spirit Masters gave him a simple treatment.
After finishing all this, they quickly hid back, as if they had never been there.
“Coachman, take the left.”
When they reached the next fork in the road, Lin Yuan lowered his voice, making himself sound like an adult.
“But My Lord, that goes to Balak City, the capital of the Balak Kingdom, not Soto City.”
The coachman glanced at the road sign and said somewhat hesitatingly.
“Where I am going is Balak City.”
Lin Yuan said unquestioningly.
“Yes.”
The coachman didn’t dare to ask more and immediately changed direction.
Simultaneously driving the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula and the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill, Lin Yuan gathered Qi into his eyes and observed all the way along the journey.
To prevent any flying Spirit Masters among those secretly protecting Dai Mubai, he even focused his observation on the sky.
After confirming that no one was chasing after him, he left the travel expenses and money for hiring Spirit Master guards, and quietly got off the carriage.
By the time the coachman reacted, inside the carriage, aside from a stack of gold coins, it was already completely empty.
