It was a moment of life and death. The elemental energies of the human and the demon finally collided amidst the baby girl's wails.
There was no clashing sound like hitting a stone, nor was there the expected crushing defeat. A human spear pierced through the claw like a hot knife through butter, lifting the demonic beast into the sky. Immediately, demon blood splattered everywhere.
"How did this happen?" After succeeding in one move, Lin Xuan's heart was very confused. When they clashed just now, he did not encounter any obstruction. The other party's protective demonic essence was simply like a thin piece of paper, without any power for no reason.
"Brat, what kind of cultivation technique is this?？”The demonic beast endured the pain and cried out in shock. However, before he could use his energy to counterattack, his body suddenly sank and he fell from the sky, landing right next to the baby girl.
Seeing the situation, Lin Xuan hurriedly took a step forward and directly punched out.
"Young hero, please wait!" The demonic beast roared loudly and scrambled out of the battle. It actually took the initiative to retreat three feet away from the baby girl. The arrogance and despotism in its previous words had long disappeared.
Protecting the baby girl behind him, Lin Xuan looked outside the circle with a vigilant expression, but he did not know what the other party was planning.
"Young hero, your martial arts are unparalleled. I'll leave this girl to you, young hero.”The demonic beast's cultivation was profound. At this moment, it was terrified to find that the demonic essence in its body could not be circulated at all. If it continued to fight, it would definitely die. It immediately gave up and admitted defeat.
The sudden compliment stunned Lin Xuan on the spot, but he still maintained his offensive posture. However, the next words of the demon beast made him completely understand the change in his status.
"Kid, don't be so shameless! If you force this old man into a corner, at worst, I'll explode my inner core. At that time, this girl will be buried with you!”The demonic beast did not want to stay any longer. There was a huge bloody hole in his palm, and his blood essence was flowing non-stop. If he continued to entangle him, he would lose countless years of cultivation.
"If you can't win, you can stop, but…!”Seeing the demonic beast threatening him like a paper tiger baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, Lin Xuan immediately understood the other party's situation. Thinking of the baby girl's safety, in order to ensure that nothing would go wrong, he deliberately entangled the other party and secretly condensed his qi essence at the tip of his feet.
"You have committed such a sin today, so I can't let you live!”Seeing that he had attracted the other party's attention, Lin Xuan's leg spear instantly shot out.
The demon beast was originally waiting for Lin Xuan to state his conditions, but who knew that the other party's killing move would attack like lightning. Although his cultivation was profound and he had rich experience, he had lost a lot of demonic essence. At this moment, it was already too late for him to self-destruct his inner core. He could only look at the spear light getting closer and closer with despair.
Looking at the poor child behind him, Lin Xuan subconsciously thought of his past self and immediately felt pity for him. He immediately walked over and bent down to pick up the baby girl. He rolled up his sleeves and wiped her face. However, the moment the young man touched the baby girl's tears, a shocking scene happened without any warning.
"Chivalry is the Heavenly Dao!" Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. He thought of the initial decision to save the baby girl and replied loudly.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" The heavenly voice sounded again.
"Perseverance is the Heavenly Dao!" Was the answer wrong? Lin Xuan thought of the life-and-death battle he knew he was no match for and answered again.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" Tian Yin continued to ask.
"Machiavellian tactics are the Heavenly Dao!" Thinking of the delaying tactic that would determine the outcome of the battle at the critical moment, Lin Xuan gave the answer for the third time.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" Tian Yin still seemed dissatisfied.
"Benevolence is the Heavenly Dao!" Could it be that he wiped his tears because he had the same fate? Lin Xuan gave the answer in confusion.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" Tian Yin seemed to be reciting scriptures endlessly.
At this moment, Lin Xuan's heart was already somewhat depressed. Considering that he still had to rush to the inner city within the time limit, the youth could only get rid of his distracting thoughts and calmly ponder.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" "What is the Heavenly Dao?" "What is the Heavenly Dao?" Tian Yin repeated it over and over again. Lin Xuan's mood had already gone from doubt to depression, then to frustration. After a hundred turns and a thousand turns, it was finally empty.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" This time, before Tian Yin could finish speaking, Lin Xuan suddenly asked himself.
"I am the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao is for me! My Dao is the Heavenly Dao!" Lin Xuan blurted out very naturally. This was his final answer.
In an instant, the spiritual pearl released a dazzling light that made Lin Xuan unable to see anything. By the time he regained his senses, the Feng Lin Dao in front of him had already returned to its original state.
The black mass of people in front of them still stood upright like terracotta soldiers, and their expressions were still strange. However, at this moment, a ball of light cloud appeared out of thin air under Lin Xuan's feet. It then lifted the youth up and sped along the Spiritual Light Heavenly Dao towards the inner city. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the inner city district. The preliminary selection had actually passed just like that.
In the inner city, the light cloud carried Lin Xuan and flew all the way to the assembly area of the contestants. At this moment, it had already been an hour since the start of the preliminaries. Lin Xuan looked up and saw that there was actually no one in front of him. There was only a completely black iron rod standing in the middle of the field. To him, it was extremely familiar.
"Brother Wang has indeed passed! But…where is he?" In addition to his joy, Lin Xuan was slightly puzzled. However, he did not expect that the light cloud that had completed the mission would suddenly dissipate and put the youth down.
"Aiya!" A miserable cry was unexpectedly heard. Heaven knew why, but the light cloud actually carried Lin Xuan directly above Wang Dashu. At this moment, the latter was lying flat on his back with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he was smashed by Lin Xuan who was falling down. He was instantly shocked and in pain, grimacing in pain.
"Wang, Brother Wang…are you alright? "I'm really…" Lin Xuan's face was full of apology and he was about to explain.
"Brother Lin? It's so good to see you! Let me tell you, if you didn't come, I would have suffocated to death!”Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, Wang Dashu was like dew after a long drought. He grabbed Lin Xuan and began to complain.
"What? "Brother Wang has successfully passed the preliminary selection. Congratulations, congratulations…" Lin Xuan said in confusion.
"Brother Lin, don't tease me anymore. I'm starting to doubt my life!”Wang Dashu's face was full of bitterness, and he did not look like he was joking at all.
"Brother Wang, you…?" Lin Xuan had a blank expression and could not figure out what the other party had experienced.
"You don't know this, but I met an old man not long after I stepped onto the official road. He said that he owed my family a favor back then and that he wanted to help me pass the preliminaries today.”Wang Dashu began to talk about his experience.
"As expected!" Lin Xuan secretly nodded. Everything was just as he had guessed. The candidates all had different situations. However, he did not know what kind of divine power this Heavenly Dao was created from to actually contain such a profound mystery.
"But then, he actually brought me to a middle-aged couple and told me that the two in front of me were my biological parents and that my mother was only my adoptive mother.”Wang Dashu did not stop at all, wishing he could vent the depression in his heart.
Lin Xuan was puzzled. He did not know what kind of secrets his friend had. However, before he could ask further, Wang Dashu suddenly became excited.
"Of course I didn't believe it, but they went overboard after that. First, she promised that as long as I returned to my ancestors and left my mother, she would immediately acknowledge my identity. Not to mention passing the Phoenix Feast, she would guarantee that I would advance to the Yuan Opening realm for the rest of my life. I never listened. However, my mother suddenly appeared and admitted to this matter. I still don't believe it. Then, they actually restrained me and tortured me.”
"The most infuriating thing is that before I could understand what was going on, my mother suddenly turned into a ball of spiritual light. What was the meaning of this? Tell me this is all a dream?! Is there such torture?"
" This works?!" Lin Xuan secretly sighed at the injustice of the Heavenly Dao. Forget about the previous test. After all, the difficulty was different. But what was going on with this final enlightenment? Was it the same as the other party's impatient strike when he pondered for so long? Towards Wang Dashu's method of solving the problem, the helpless Lin Xuan could only 'admire' endlessly.
"Brother Wang, you've worked tiresome'. Just now, I heard Brother Wang say that I have some questions that I don't know if I should say.”Lin Xuan 'consoled' him. He recalled Wang Dashu mentioning the matter of recognizing his family previously, so he asked.
"I was brought up by my mother and have never seen my father. It was said that they were traveling far away, and no one knew when the family would be reunited.”Wang Dashu was deep in thought, his mood somewhat down.
Lin Xuan felt the same when he heard this. Although his family had always been caring, he knew nothing about his background. Looking at the youth in front of him, Lin Xuan suddenly had a thought.
"Brother Wang, you don't have to be too sad. I have a suggestion. If Brother Wang doesn't give up, I intend to become brothers with Brother Wang. What do you think?”Lin Xuan spoke his true thoughts. He had long had a good impression of the person in front of him.
"What? Of course, this was for the best! I'm 15 this year, I wonder if Brother Lin…?”Wang Dashu was pleasantly surprised. His previous depression was instantly swept away as he immediately asked excitedly.
As the two of them congratulated each other, the light clouds in the assembly area gradually increased, and figures descended from the sky one by one. One of the petite figures flew over and pounced into Lin Xuan's arms. The corners of her eyes were actually sparkling.
"Big brother!" Lin Lang shouted in surprise and grievance.
"Dashu, this is my younger sister, Lin Lang. From now on, she will also be your younger sister.”Lin Xuan replied with a smile.
"What uncle? This is the sworn brother that big brother just acknowledged. Wang Dashu, the careless one, will be your brother from now on.”Lin Xuan explained helplessly.
The three of them had passed the preliminary selection, and there was an additional layer of close relationship between them. Coupled with Wang Dashu's glorious deeds, Lin Lang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. For a moment, the scene was very harmonious. However, on the grandstand, a certain someone's mood was in stark contrast to the three youths.
