Chapter 62: Undercurrents Surge

  "Yun'er, are you okay?"

  Shaking his head, Lin Yun said: "Master, today I and Crazy One's battle, actually I lost."

  "Haha, I just watched your previous battle, and today's battle, you indeed lost. However, it wasn't because of a lack of strength, but rather a difference in realm. The gap between realms can't be compensated for by anything else. If your realm could match that of the madman, I believe you would have won today."

  "Master, don't try to comfort me. Losing is losing, and losing in terms of boundaries is also a loss. One year from now, I will continue my battle with the madman, and at that time, I won't lose again, nor will I lose in terms of boundaries."

  As she spoke, Lin Yun turned and walked away. When she reached Tong Yu's side, she suddenly stopped for a moment and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "In a year, I will formally pursue you."

  In a year's time, I will formally pursue you.

  Upon hearing this, Tong Yu's body trembled noticeably, but before she could say anything else, Lin Yun had quickly departed and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

  Watching the gradually departing young man, Gu Di's face did not have a single hint of worry, but instead said with great comfort: "Yun Er has truly transformed after this battle. I look forward to Yun Er's changes in a year, and even more so to the battle between the two in a year."

  "Dean, you mean Lin Yun is going to leave the college?" Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, for some reason, Tong Yu always felt that what Lin Yun had just said to him still had another layer of meaning.

  "If nothing unexpected happens, Yun Er will definitely leave the academy, because this stage is already obviously not enough for him. One year's time is enough to let him successfully transform."

  Just as the ancient emperor had guessed, today's battle made Lin Yun seem to have seen something he had never seen before, that is, the boundary. No matter how powerful his sword moves were, no matter how terrifying his unique martial skills were, if the boundary was not reached, he would still be defeated by a master in the end. It was precisely because of this that he decided to temporarily leave the academy and go out into the world to hone himself.

  Now his cultivation has reached the initial martial artist realm, in a year's time, Lin Yun had full confidence that he could break through to the pre-heavenly martial artist. At that time, apart from continuing to fight with Crazy, he could also formally pursue the beautiful teacher. Moreover, wanting to continuously improve one's strength, simply staying in the academy was not enough.

  The first stop, Tianfa Forest.

  The Heavenly Punishment Forest is a famous place for spiritual beasts to appear on the mainland, and only here can he face danger at all times, and in constant battle, can quickly improve his strength.

  Just as he left the academy and entered the city, preparing to leave Tianfa City for the Tianfa Forest, Lin Yun encountered an unexpected person - Huang San, the eldest prince of the empire. To be honest, he still had a good impression of this imperial prince, after all, Huang San was not arrogant like other princes, but instead had a very kind attitude, even towards beggars.

  Tian Fa Wine House

  There were only three people in the attic, Huang San, Huang Shan and Lin Yun.

  "Lin brothers, this time in Tianfa Forest, it was really thanks to you. Here, I represent my sister to toast a glass of wine to you, thank you for saving our lives."

  Huang San and Huang Shan were siblings, Lin Yun had already known before. He picked up the wine glass on the table, smiled and said: "When you see injustice, draw your sword to help, let alone Huang Shan is such a beautiful beauty."

  Since the other party did not reveal their identity, Lin Yun also did not expose them, pretending to be completely unaware. At this time, Huang Shan suddenly said: "We will return to Longteng City too, are you leaving with us?"

  Huang San glanced at his sister, but didn't say much. Lin Yun shook her head and said, "Tian Fa City is my home, besides, I have urgent matters to attend to, so for now, I won't be going to Long Teng City."

  Huang Shan's face showed a hint of disappointment as he was rejected on the spot. He had wanted to say something, but Huang San interrupted him, saying, "In that case, we won't force it. Let's just drink."

  This meal lasted for more than two hours before Lin Yun finally got up and left. Looking at the already departed young man, Huang Sang pouted her small mouth and said discontentedly: "What a cow, this princess kindly found you to go, but you still managed to get into trouble, humph."

  Taking a glance at his sister beside him, Huang San smiled helplessly and said: "Shan Shan, you can't have already fallen for this guy, can you?"

  "Whatever you do, big brother, don't go spreading rumors."

  "Alright, alright, big brother won't say anything more. However, I've already investigated this person's background and it turns out he's also from the Empire Dragon Alliance organization. I didn't expect that a small place like Tianfa City would have such boundless talent. Big brother promises you, when the time is ripe, I'll transfer him back to Longteng City, okay?"

  "Big brother, you're serious?"

  "Of course, when has big brother ever cheated you?"

  Upon hearing her brother's words, Huang Shan's face showed an unspoken surprise and delight, even she herself didn't know, but in Huang San's eyes, a flash of coldness flickered by.

  Tian Fa City, in a secret room.

  "The Crown Prince, if we really did that, I'm afraid Her Highness the Princess would be displeased."

  The current Huang San and the Huang San of the past are two completely different people. With a gloomy face, only an evil expression remained, his voice extremely cold as he said: "I don't care who this person is, I want him eliminated as soon as possible. Tomorrow I plan to return to Longteng City, Teng Lao, this matter will be left for you to handle."

  "Yes, Your Highness."

  Leaving the wine building, Lin Yun did not continue to stay. Since he had already made up his mind, he would not drag his feet and left Tian Fa City, heading towards Tian Fa Forest. At this time, five figures suddenly shot out from within Tian Fa City, one of whom was Teng Lao.

  Five figures had just shot out, and within the Tianfa City, more than a dozen figures shot out again. The leader was none other than Wang Ba, the eldest young master of the Wang family. Last time, he was beaten by Lin Yun so badly that even his ** were kicked into two segments. After returning to the Wang family, it directly caused a huge stir, but the Wang family did not take any rash action, just waiting for a rare opportunity.

  This time Lin Yun left Tianfa City, just in time for the Wang family to seize the opportunity. Therefore, the Wang family was overjoyed this time and hired four martial artists and eight martial guests, led by Wang Ba himself, to hunt down Lin Yun.

  For the two groups of people chasing him, Lin Yun had no idea. After several days of rushing, he successfully entered the Heavenly Punishment Forest. Calculating the time, it had been exactly ten days since he last left until now. The fierce battle between the man-eating apes and the wolf pack was still ongoing. As he entered the forest, he could see the corpses of the man-eating apes everywhere.

  Under normal circumstances, once a corpse appears, it will be eaten by other spiritual beasts within three hours at most. However, the corpse of a human ape is an exception. Even if it's rotting, no spiritual beast would dare to touch it, because the stench on its body is simply too overwhelming, and the smell is so pungent that it's suffocating.

  This time entering the Heavenly Punishment Forest, was to enhance strength from continuous battles, even if encountering life and death was sought after, so entering the Heavenly Punishment Forest, Lin Yun basically didn't intentionally avoid the man-eating apes, as long as he saw a man-eating ape, he directly went up to start battle.

  Among the Man-Eating Apes, as long as they didn't encounter the Man-Eating Ape King, he was fearless in the entire Man-Eating Ape army. No matter what, the Man-Eating Ape King was a congenital third-level spiritual beast, equivalent to a congenital martial artist. With his current strength, he wasn't even a match for a congenital martial artist.

  He didn't want to see the Man-eating Ape King, but heaven had other plans and arranged for him to meet the Man-eating Ape King outside the Heavenly Punishment Forest. This time, he didn't know if he had fallen into a trap set by the Man-eating Apes. Even if he wanted to leave, he was already surrounded by a dense group of Man-eating Apes on all sides.

  He gazed coldly at the cannibal apes around him, and Lin Yun's heart was clear that at this moment, the Cannibal Ape King would not let him go without a fight. Since that was the case, continuing to drag things out wouldn't have much meaning either. He also didn't want to engage in battle with the Cannibal Ape King. With a flash of inspiration, his hand suddenly produced a purple longsword, which he wielded as he headed off in a leftward direction.

  The sword arrives before the man does.

  Jian Chi Jing's second move was almost at its peak, and the icy sword energy that Lin Yun swung out would undoubtedly cause the man-eating apes to fall to the ground dead as soon as it hit them. However, there were too many man-eating apes surrounding him, and before he could retreat from the range, the distant Man-Eating Ape King had already rushed over quickly.

  He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless, after all, the Man-Eating Ape King was a congenital third-level spiritual beast, equivalent to a congenital martial arts master. Without using his spatial contraction technique, the purple sword in his hand continuously unleashed one wave of icy sword energy after another, fiercely slashing at the Man-Eating Ape King who had already arrived in front of him. Moreover, waves of flame curtains erupted around Lin Yun, while the Vajra shield enveloped his entire body.

  The icy sword energy was extremely powerful, and for a moment, the Man-eating Ape King couldn't get close to his body. At this time, the Man-eating Ape King let out a loud roar towards the sky, and immediately afterwards, countless Man-eating Apes swarmed in from all directions, each one opening its bloody mouth wide, as if wanting to swallow Lin Yun alive.

  Grass, in his heart he silently cursed, if things continued like this, not to mention whether he could kill the Man-Eating Ape King, just killing these Man-Eating Apes would exhaust him to death. In this situation, he had to think of a better plan, otherwise he would really have to stay here today.

  Didn't dare to be slightly careless, after all in this kind of situation, one carelessness would lose one's life, the purple sword in hand kept waving, forming a sword curtain around, temporarily resisting the attack of the man-eating ape.

  The Ape King didn't expect that he couldn't kill the human in front of him for the time being. Wave after wave of angry roars echoed throughout the sky, and two big furry palms kept slapping at the sword energy shooting towards himself.
