Chapter 15: Great Hunting Competition

Lin Dong thought 'Since the ancestral gong method I have now is already holding me back, it seems like it is time to make another trip to Yan City to get a second-tier ancestral gong method as there won't be any first-tier ones available.'

After all, in the original timeline, Lin Dong had bought a second tier at fifty thousand Yang Yuan Stones or five thousand Yang Yuan Pills.

However, Lin Dong was pondering where he can get five thousand Yang Yuan Pills currently, as although there is a Yang Yuan Stone mine in Ironwood Village, it is still in the hands of the Lei Clan.

Before Lin Dong could feel at a loss, Ah Diao stretched out his paw and scratched Lin Dong's nose, and smiled mysteriously "Why are you worrying over this matter when you have me, Little Marten? Just ask me."

Lin Dong jerked his head slightly as he looked at his second brother in mid-air. 'That's right, Little Marten was once a Samsara Stage Expert. So there was no doubt he would have some high-grade ancestral gong methods.' "You are right, I forgot second brother…Can you show me?"

Ah Diao replied "Of course I can. Though I cannot give you the one I cultivate as it was created by my clan's ancestor to be suitable and compatible for those of my clan, I can provide you with one which I got my hands on due to me killing a human Nirvana Realm powerhouse when I was in the Nirvana realm." He flicked his paw slightly, before tossing an ancient book into Lin Dong's palm.

Lin Dong immediately held down his excitement as he opened the book. He found the ancestral gong method to be a First-tier Secret Art named Great Sun Thunder Body. It not only helps one guide the Yuan Power through forty-three meridians but also possesses the rare ability to enhance one's body as well. In fact, the owner of this secret art was once famed throughout the world as he was able to kill several elite practitioners and was a legendary figure.

With mastery of the method, one would be capable of crushing a high-grade Soul Treasure with their punch. Even a Nirvana realm stage practitioner would not dare to receive his attack. Hough this method is extremely powerful, it is extremely dangerous to the person who cultivates it. There are three chapters within this method. After improving the method utilizing the Ancestral Stone, Lin Dong will be able to guide the Yuan Power through forty-five meridians.

Should he master the first chapter, he will be able to create a Yuan Power swirl below his skin. Also when he activates it, he will be able to absorb the Yuan Power from Heaven and Earth into his body at a rate several times faster than before. The Yuan Power crystallized by Great Sun Thunder Body is also called Great Sun Thunder Yuan. It is able to enhance your body and strengthen h bones and muscles.

If he is able to successfully master the first chapter, he can then unlock the first hidden skill of known as Bronze Thunder Body. This so-called Bronze Thunder Body is able to enhance his body substantially. If he is able to succeed, at that time, then even a low-grade Soul Treasure is unable to penetrate his defenses. In fact, he would be impenetrable to any blade and no fire or water could hurt him.

The second chapter unlocks the Jade Thunder Body, and the third chapter unlocks the Great Sun Thunder Body.

After reading the contents of the method, Lin Dong can't help but let out a heartfelt sigh "The Lin Clan's ancestral gong method is really trash compared to this method Second brother has given me…I am going to perfect it using the Ancestral Stone."

The moment Lin Dong looked up and saw Ah Diao.

He was in his human form with his head lifted up arrogantly. His handsome and charming face showing a faint and mocking smile. His deep and light, green-colored eyes sparkled with intelligence and cunning, as he looked down at his brother with a superior and smug gaze. His long and silky hair flowed down his back in a ponytail, with streaks of purple running through it. His tall and lean body was wrapped in a simply sleeveless robe, which was black with white patterns on the collar. He wore his white, fluffy tail around his waist and arms as though a scarf. He had a powerful and majestic aura surrounding him, which was shaped like his weasel-beast form. His aura was huge and imposing, which covered the room. His aura was purple and black, which flickered between each color slightly. He preened slightly and stated in a cheerful and proud tone "Of course, Master Marten was the one who had given out the technique! How can it ever be bad!"

Lin Dong's hear stirred slightly at the sight and felt moved. He knows from the novel, but seeing in reality is much different.

The two goes into the Ancestral Stone space and improve and perfect the method. After accomplishing this, Lin Dong then tells Ah Diao he will replace the current ancestral gong method with the new one…Thus leaving Ah Diao alone in the Ancestral Stone space.

Seeing this Ah Diao reverts back to his beast form, pouts, and mutters "Che… this brat…after making use of my resources leaves me alone…If this were in the past where I had my strength, I Master Marten would have…." Before falling asleep.

…

Four months passed extremely fast in Lin Dong's cultivation. He not only fully replaced his ancestral gong method with the Great Sun Thunder Body art, he also successfully broke through to the Peak of the Initial Yuan Dan Realm Stage.

A New Year was ushered in Qing Yang Town as the Qing Yang Town Hunt will be hosted on the first day of the new year by the four major factions in the town. The massive event will be hosted within a hundred miles.

The location of the event was set at the forest filled will beasts which is just outside of the town.

The sun was high in the sky as the many forces and people living in and near the tow arrived. There were close to tens of thousands of stone seats occupied on the periphery of the forest where the competitors would enter.

In the area where the Lin Clan is to be situated, Lin Zhentian was standing in front of his Patriarch's seat.

Lin Dong swept over his grandfather's position where the man was sitting with a wide smile and surrounded by the senior members of the Lin Clan before stating to his father "Father, Grandfather broke through to the Yuan Dan realm stage. Could it be that you secretly condensed a few Pure Yuan Dan Pills for Grandfather?"
