Chapter 566: Excellent, One Word...Perfect

The revival of the famous mountains and ancient ruins attracted another batch of Starry Sky powerhouses. Upon arriving on this planet, they immediately headed for the Awakening Land, seeking treasures and fortuitous encounters; nothing else mattered.

Mu Bai was among the best of the Starry Sky's great clans. Though young, his cultivation was formidable, and his opportunities were earth-shattering. In the parlance of the Starry Sky, he was born with the Innate Frost Sword Body, capable of condensing a life-bound sword upon awakening. He had encountered tremendous opportunities since childhood. Many children of the great clans envied his heavenly luck, filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.

But now…

"Should we warn him? Who that is? He'll be in trouble if he continues like this."

"His temperament needs some tempering. Too arrogant, too proud, too overbearing, a bit too conceited."

"Hmm..."

"I don't know anything."

Everyone tacitly acknowledged the current situation. It was better left unsaid. Thus, one shouldn't be too arrogant. Otherwise, even if your peers know you're in danger, they won't tell you. This situation was truly awful. If someone had warned him, things wouldn't have come to this.

"Mu Bai, he's very strong. You're no match for him."

Finally, a young member of a Starry Sky great clan warned him. He didn't know Lin Fan, having just arrived from the Starry Sky. Mixing in with the group, he heard their conversation and his heart sank. He hadn't expected the human who appeared to be so powerful.

As he spoke, the surrounding Starry Sky clan members gave him strange looks, as if to say, "You're really meddling too much."

"I'm no match for him?" Mu Bai laughed, a strange laugh. "How unpleasant. Before even fighting, someone says I'm no match for him. Such words that strike at my beliefs are truly unpleasant to hear."

Mu Bai casually waved the sword in his hand, and frost condensed on the ground where it passed. He pointed his sword at Lin Fan and slowly said, "I've set my eyes on this prey. Are you really going to protect them?"

His tone was unfriendly, as if he could attack at any moment.

"You're no match for me."

Lin Fan could sense that the opponent's strength was decent, but compared to him, there was a clear gap. He preferred to fight strong opponents, not bully the weak.

Tiger Lord marveled. As expected of the boss, this guy almost beat me to death, but in the boss's eyes, he's weak. Thinking back to when he cowered before this guy, perhaps it wasn't something to be ashamed of. He found a justification for himself: He's a strong person! How wonderful it is to be bullied by a strong person. Thinking from another perspective, why wouldn't a strong person bully you? Why bully me? It must be because I have some merit.

Hearing these words, the sharpness between Mu Bai's brows intensified, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp. Since his birth, he had never seen such an arrogant person. Before even fighting, he claimed Mu Bai was inferior. Truly confident.

"Is that so? I hope your mouth can remain as tough later."

Mu Bai sneered, the bloodline sword in his hand wreathed in frost. With a whoosh, he vanished before everyone's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Lin Fan, a sneer on his lips, and swung his sword. Even the space seemed to freeze, demonstrating the terrifying power of his attack.

Anyone facing Mu Bai's attack would be unable to remain calm, but for Lin Fan, he really didn't want to fight. The opponent was truly weak. Strength wasn't for bullying the weak, but for seeking stronger opponents to spar and compete with.

He raised a single finger.

Clang!

Sparks flew.

His finger was as fast as lightning, constantly colliding with Mu Bai's bloodline sword. Each strike produced a terrifying force. Mu Bai's understanding of swordsmanship far surpassed others, and the opportunities he obtained were also related to swordsmanship.

"How could this be?"

Mu Bai realized something was wrong, different from what he had imagined. Then, a shocking power erupted from him, originating from some astonishing inheritance. The ground gradually became covered in frost; he was creating a domain around him.

"You're no match for me. Stop," Lin Fan kindly reminded him. He considered this a waste of time.

Mu Bai didn't say anything, but the power in his hand surged, as if he had activated some secret technique. In truth, Mu Bai hadn't expected this guy's strength to be so terrifying, but now, even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't. Everyone was watching. He had already spoken the harshest, most domineering words. Stopping now? Where would his face be?

Suddenly, a sigh echoed.

Hearing this sound, Mu Bai's heart trembled. A bad premonition surfaced.

Lin Fan flicked his finger at the incoming bloodline sword. Clang! A shocking force burst forth, sending Mu Bai reeling backward. The bloodline sword in his hand almost flew out of his grasp.

"Such powerful force!" Mu Bai was horrified. At that moment, an even more terrifying scene unfolded. A cracking sound rang out. Mu Bai's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. His bloodline sword shattered, scattering shimmering fragments that dissipated into the air.

Pfft!

The bloodline connection was severed. The shattering of the bloodline sword was equivalent to suffering a severe injury, a devastating blow to his bloodline foundation.

Mu Bai's face turned pale. He pointed at Lin Fan in grief and anger, roaring, "You ruined my foundation!"

"No," Lin Fan shook his head. He couldn't admit to something he hadn't done. He had only lightly flicked his finger. The sword was destroyed, so be it. Why say he ruined his foundation? He really couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

The onlookers whispered.

"Mu Bai is probably crippled."

"Hard to say, but his condensed bloodline sword was shattered. His foundation must be damaged. It's definitely not something that can be easily recovered."

"I wonder if the clan's ancestors will fight him after learning that a clan member with great opportunities has had his foundation ruined."

"I'm looking forward to it."

These onlookers were just that, onlookers. Eating melon seeds, watching the show, and then adding a few sharp comments. As for anything else, it certainly had nothing to do with them. In this situation, who would want to get involved? Hadn't they seen the arrogant Mu Bai beaten to the point of mental breakdown, his foundation destroyed?

"You..." Mu Bai pointed angrily at Lin Fan. Suddenly, he clutched his chest, his eyes wide, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out, forming a blood mist in the air. Then, he heavily collapsed to the ground. This was due to anger, or perhaps the destruction of his foundation, injuring his very essence.

"Lin Fan, is he dead?" Old Zhang whispered, a little eager to try his acupuncture, but remembering this guy's hostility towards Lin Fan, he wasn't so keen on sticking needles in him. My, Old Zhang's, acupuncture isn't something that can be used on just anyone. The proud Old Zhang always stood on the same side as Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, "Probably not. I didn't even use any force."

He didn't like to fight against the weak. Controlling his power was troublesome. A slight carelessness could obliterate the opponent. Perhaps the opponent had no malice and only wanted to spar, but he had to be constantly vigilant, lest he accidentally injure them. Therefore, this was a situation Lin Fan found rather troublesome.

"But he spat blood," Old Zhang said.

Lin Fan said, "I'll go take a look."

One-Eyed Man sighed. A strong person was truly terrifying. Mu Bai's strength was obvious to all. Even he wasn't a match for him. The power of that sword was fierce, definitely not something ordinary people could handle. Fortunately, Lin Fan was with them. Otherwise, if they had encountered this guy, they would have been beaten up.

Lin Fan came to Mu Bai's side, squatted down, and checked his breathing. "He's not dead. He's still breathing. Old Zhang, take a look at him."

"I don't want to stick him," Old Zhang said.

If anyone here knew the most about Old Zhang's acupuncture, it was One-Eyed Man. Deceived multiple times, he always consoled himself, thinking maybe it would work this time, but every time, Old Zhang's needles caused problems. Therefore, now, he would rather believe a dog could change its habit of eating feces than believe in Old Zhang's acupuncture. Was that something a person could believe in?

Fortunately, you don't want to stick him with needles. Otherwise, even if he wasn't dead, you could create problems for him.

"Alright then." Lin Fan didn't force Old Zhang to treat Mu Bai. He looked up at the onlookers. "Does anyone know him?"

Silence. Dead silence.

The Starry Sky clan members looked at each other, none of them speaking. They all knew him. They had just besieged Tiger Lord and Giant Eagle together. But now, they only had one thought: keeping a low profile was best. Whoever stood out would be beaten. Why bother asking for trouble?

"I know him."

After a while, a young man stepped forward.

Lin Fan said, "I'll leave him to you. In the wilderness, he's easy prey for wild beasts. Please take him to his family. If he wakes up, please tell him that he's actually very strong."

Thinking about it carefully, his actions just now were indeed a bit inappropriate. Although the guy was weak, he should have known when to stop. Giving some face was important. His words might rekindle the flame of hope in Mu Bai.

"Okay."

What else could be said after hearing those words? Nothing needed to be said. They understood. They all understood. But he felt it was better not to say those words, in case Mu Bai was angered to the point of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Moreover, in this situation, Mu Bai's clan wouldn't let this go easily. As a fellow member of a Starry Sky great clan, he knew Mu Bai's status within the clan. He was treated like the moon surrounded by stars, his future limitless, perhaps even becoming a clan ancestor. Now he had been crippled. How could the clan not demand an explanation?

"Thank you." Lin Fan smiled politely, then called Old Zhang and the others to continue their journey.

However…

"Are you following me?" Lin Fan looked at Tiger Lord and Giant Eagle. He really didn't recognize them, but he knew Old Zhang seemed familiar with them, so he didn't think much of it. Perhaps they had met before, but he had forgotten.

Tiger Lord stared wide-eyed.

Nonsense. Of course, they were following. He and Brother Eagle weren't fools. In this situation, hadn't they seen a group of Starry Sky clan members eyeing them covetously? Without backing, they had no chance of survival.

Therefore, the wisest choice was to hug a thigh tightly, not think about anything, not ask anything, just follow. That was the truth.

"Yes, boss. We want to follow you and see the world," Tiger Lord said sincerely.

Old Zhang said, "Lin Fan, just let them follow. I really like this little tiger."

"Okay, as long as you like it."

Being called "little tiger" was embarrassing for Tiger Lord, but there was nothing he could do. The old man who called him "little tiger" had a thigh to hug. He could only force a smile and even accept the old man's petting.

"I think we should find a place to rest. I need to give the little tiger some acupuncture," Old Zhang said.

Seeing the little tiger bleeding, his heart ached. He hoped his acupuncture could help the little tiger escape the pain.

"Okay, then let's go to the front." Lin Fan said.

The one-eyed man was a little bit anticipating the result of Old Zhang's acupuncture on the tiger. Maybe it would be miserable, or perhaps Changbai Mountain would have a lame land overlord.

Just thinking about it felt quite interesting.

He knew the situation, but he just didn't say anything. Some pain needs to be experienced personally to be deeply understood, just like the few times he was cheated before...

Without personal experience, who could understand, who could know how explosive his thoughts were at that time.

After a short rest.

"Leader, what exactly was that light just now?" Liu Haichan asked.

The one-eyed man said, "It should be something created by the Starry Sky Clan. It's not some treasure. Their combat methods are obvious to all, right? That's not something we can deal with."

Everyone nodded.

They agreed with what the one-eyed man said.

Although they had unearthed a lot of good things, compared to the Starry Sky Clan, the gap was still huge, and it was definitely not easy to catch up.

For example, he obtained the "Arhat Dharma Body," a very powerful Buddhist scripture, which was of great help to his own strength. However, after cultivating until now, it couldn't be said that his comprehension was not high, but it needed to be cultivated slowly. He always felt as if he lacked some external help.

Progress was not significant, and it was impossible to contend with the strong ones of the Starry Sky Clan.

Wu Sheng had told him.

Don't think about soaring to the sky and competing with the Starry Sky Clan. Of course, this excludes Lin Fan, after all, he's a pervert. Who knows how he cultivates? He's simply a freak.

The Starry Sky Clan has existed for tens of thousands of years or even longer. How could it be so easy to catch up?

The one-eyed man deeply agreed with this.

Wu Sheng was one of the few Starry Sky Clan members who had a relatively good relationship with humans.

"Then are we just waiting here now?" Liu Haichan asked.

The one-eyed man said, "If we don't wait here, are you going to take a risk?"

He was talking nonsense. He didn't even look at the current situation. Without Lin Fan leading them, encountering danger would be a dead end.

In the distance.

"Mu Bai ah, Mu Bai, you are really unlucky. I've already reminded you that the other party is very strong. Everyone present is a descendant of the Starry Sky Clan. Who isn't arrogant? To be able to deter them obviously means they are not simple characters. You just wouldn't listen. Who can you blame? Your current situation is very bad. With a snap of their fingers, your foundation was destroyed. I'm afraid you'll be in decline for a long time."

This person dared to act and take responsibility. Being able to bravely stand up and acknowledge Mu Bai in that situation was enough to show that this person valued loyalty and righteousness, and could be called a Starry Sky hero.

It's just that his hands were a bit restless, touching Mu Bai all over.

It was understandable.

He should be kindly checking Mu Bai's body to prevent any unknown injuries.

"Eh! Where did I put the thing?"

He muttered to himself, his hands didn't stop, and soon he found a bottle of pills on Mu Bai. He opened it and looked, slightly disappointed. This was a specially made pill, specifically for Mu Bai's cultivation.

What a pity.

But if he took it out to sell, he could still get some price.

After rummaging through Mu Bai's entire body, he placed him in a safe place and gave him a common healing pill.

The world is dangerous, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

But he still had a final bottom line, which was to place him in a safe place and give him a healing pill. This could be considered as treating him right.

After he finished touching, he retreated directly.

At this time.

Old Zhang stroked Tiger Lord's fur, "You're seriously injured. Fortunately, I'm here. Don't worry, my acupuncture is very powerful. I used to give Lin Fan acupuncture all the time."

"Thank you." Tiger Lord spoke human words with a sincere expression.

With his huge size, ordinary people would be scared witless just by looking at him, but now he was very embarrassed. How did it feel to be touched by an old man? It wasn't pleasant.

He was destroying my dignity.

The Evil Chicken looked at Tiger Lord, a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of its mouth.

Others couldn't see through it, but how could he not see through it?

This was pure bootlicking.

The dignified King of Beasts actually had no dignity. It was embarrassing to even say it out loud.

Old Zhang took out a precious wooden box from his arms.

Inside were silver needles.

Lin Fan surrounded him, "Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Old Zhang's hands didn't tremble, his heart didn't skip a beat, and he said confidently, "I believe I can do it."

"Mm." Lin Fan nodded. He liked Old Zhang's confidence.

Although sometimes Old Zhang's acupuncture often had problems.

But he never doubted Old Zhang's ability.

Maybe the weather wasn't good that day, or maybe his mood was a bit off, which caused this situation. Otherwise, Old Zhang would definitely succeed.

If the one-eyed man knew Lin Fan's thoughts, he would probably punch him to death. What kind of broken excuses are you talking about? If that's really the case, why didn't I succeed those few times?

It even gave him after-effects.

Tiger Lord saw the silver needles in Old Zhang's hand, so long...

His tiger heart trembled slightly.

A little scared.

He didn't expect that the overlord of Changbai Mountain was actually afraid of needles.

Truly, everything in the world has its nemesis.

"Don't be afraid, I'm very skilled." Old Zhang comforted.

Lin Fan said, "Old Zhang is really skilled."

The two of them sang the same tune, making Tiger Lord's head buzz.

The Evil Chicken had long been accustomed to this. He knew that these pitiful fellows were just experimental subjects. He, the Evil Hero King, had already seen through all of this. It was impossible to try to stick needles in him.

"Can it really heal my injuries?" Tiger Lord asked. He regretted it a little. He shouldn't have agreed in the first place. But what could he do now? He was alive because the old man in front of him had some unusual feelings for him.

"Really." Old Zhang's expression was very firm.

It was a kind of confidence.

Lin Fan continued, "Believe in him, he will bring you a miracle."

"Huh?" Old Zhang was very curious.

Lin Fan said, "Believe in the light, and the light will have miracles. Believe in you, and you will heal."

Old Zhang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's right."

Tiger Lord wasn't stupid. From their conversation, he always felt something was wrong. It wasn't that he didn't trust Old Zhang, but when someone vowed and guaranteed something, it was often the beginning of a disaster.

The giant eagle stood to the side, folding its wings, not daring to speak. It was a little interested in the Evil Chicken.

The Evil Chicken noticed that the giant eagle kept staring at it.

Its eyes were a bit strange.

If it were in the past, the Evil Chicken would definitely take the initiative to cause trouble. I have the same bloodline as you, we must be distant relatives. But now, it had completely risen up.

"Cluck!" The Evil Chicken crowed.

Translation:

Do you have my bloodline? Are you my descendant?

The giant eagle seemed to understand what the Evil Chicken was saying. Its feathers trembled suddenly, then as if thinking of something, gradually calmed down.

The Evil Chicken smiled evilly. As for what evil looked like, it was hard to describe. It was just very arrogant, the Crooked-Mouth Chicken King's smile.

Ginseng patted the Evil Chicken's head, "Don't always take advantage of others."

At this moment.

Old Zhang began to apply the needles.

The first needle...

The technique was very sharp.

Click!

"Do you feel anything?" Old Zhang asked.

Tiger Lord said, "No."

"Mm, that's normal, don't be nervous."

The one-eyed man curiously walked over. Hearing this familiar voice, it sounded familiar. This guy also said the same thing to him back then, and he also answered no. In the end, the real situation was...

He really had a problem.

The one-eyed man didn't show it.

He always appeared very normal.

There was no need to tell others about things he had personally experienced. Watching the show was better.

He also wanted to know now.

What would be the final result of this giant tiger.

The second needle!

The third needle!

Old Zhang's needles were like divine assistance, falling on Tiger Lord one by one. The locations were carefully chosen. If someone wanted to learn this acupuncture method.

Old Zhang could only shake his head, expressing regret.

This required comprehension.

Tiger Lord found that there were more and more needles on his body, and his tiger heart beat violently. He was very nervous, very scared, and didn't know what would happen next.

"How does it feel?" Old Zhang asked.

"A little numb."

"Mm, that's normal, don't be nervous." Old Zhang said softly, as if coaxing a child. Then he looked at Lin Fan. They used to discuss the location of the needles like this.

Lin Fan touched his chin and thoughtfully said, "How about this location?"

The one-eyed man's heart trembled.

Sure enough, it happened.

It's fine if you say you understand, but you ask him where to stick the needles, are you sick?

"I feel like there's a problem here." Old Zhang nodded. Lin Fan still understood him the best. His acupuncture ability didn't rely on himself, but also on Lin Fan's assistance.

The twelfth needle!

"My head is a little dizzy." Tiger Lord said.

Old Zhang pondered, dizzy?

What was going on?

This had never happened before.

He recalled the books he had read before, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

"It's okay, it's normal. Your brain has started to get blood supply, so it's a little dizzy. It means your body is gradually getting better." Old Zhang explained. This was what he saw in the books. Although it wasn't easy to explain, in this situation, it could only be explained this way.

Clap clap!

The one-eyed man applauded, pursed his lips, and his expression was very serious.

Excellent!

One word... Amazing.

He could even find a reason for this, which was also a skill.

Ginseng looked at Old Zhang in surprise.

His expression was very serious.

Almost close to the operation of the Dao...

Where did he learn it from?
