Chapter 48: Lingbo's Gentle Steps

  Expulsion Order?

  It's another Expulsion Order, damn it. As soon as Lin Yun heard the Phantom issue an Expulsion Order against himself, he felt a deep sense of discomfort. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Who let his strength be inadequate? Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to join the Dragon Alliance.

  When under someone else's roof, one cannot but lower his head.

  "Goodbye, Your Excellency."

  Seeing Huan Ying just nodded casually, Lin Yun was speechless and stood up to leave the secret room.

  "Sir, what this person just said seems not quite true, shall I go and investigate?"

  Inside the secret room, a voice that seemed to come from nowhere was particularly gloomy and terrifying. The shadowy figure waved its hand, seemingly tired, saying: "No need, this person's background is very clean, there's no need to investigate. Let me take a look, has the Crown Prince returned? If not, report the Crown Prince's whereabouts to me at any time."

  "Yes, sir."

  Leaving the inn, Lin Yun prepared to return to the academy to cultivate the sword-remaining inner strength and the second great sword move of the Sword Red Mirror. However, at this moment, a figure blocked his path, gazing at him with an angry expression.

  Little beggar is clever?

  However, the Linglong of today has changed greatly and is no longer sloppy. Her clothes have been replaced with new ones, and she looks refreshed and spirited. But it's precisely because of this that Lin Yun sees this moment's Linglong and is shocked, his mouth agape in surprise. He doesn't know why, but he always feels that the Linglong in front of him is somewhat mysterious, as if she has become too mysterious.

  Clean and neat, Ling had a melon-seed face, phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and cherry lips. He looked nothing like a man at all. If he were to wear women's clothes, he would undoubtedly be a stunning beauty that could charm the world.

  "Linglong, how did you end up here?"

  "How did I end up here?"

  "Have you gone crazy?" Linglong's tone was very off, Lin Yun was speechless, as if he hadn't done anything at all. It seemed that since parting ways with Linglong, they had never met again.

  "Hmph, for six whole days, are you dead or alive? Can't you even let someone inform me? Is this how you treat a friend?"

  Friend? It turns out that Linglong has already considered herself a friend. If so, then this time he didn't inform the other party about his injury, which is indeed not very considerate.

  "Ah, I was careless about this. Last time I was seriously injured by the sword dragon and had to lie in bed for six days to save my life. Now that my injuries have just healed, I hurried out to find you and bring you news."

  Linglong had a disbelieving expression, but didn't continue to dwell on it and instead asked: "How does the power of Shengsi Yin feel?"

  Seal of Life and Death?

  As for the life and death seal found in Tianfa Mountain, Lin Yun was extremely satisfied, nodding his head and saying: "I haven't had a chance to thoroughly study the life and death seal yet, when I have time I will definitely thoroughly research it."

  "Hmph, even if you get the treasure, you won't make good use of it. Let me tell you, you must master the Seal of Life and Death as soon as possible, got it?"

  Looking at Ling'er who was right in front of him, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel that today's Ling'er seemed somewhat different, as if an elder was advising his younger generation, yet it didn't make people feel resistant.

  For Linglong, he had an inexplicable good feeling, after all, Linglong had gone through thick and thin with him, sharing life and death together. This kind of emotion forged from life and death was indescribable.

  "Hmm, I'll study the Seal of Life and Death as soon as possible. What exactly did you want from me this time?"

  "Can't you look for me if nothing's wrong?"

  "Can, of course can."

  "It doesn't matter, just come with me now."

  As she spoke, Linglong turned around and headed towards the left front, not giving Lin Yun any chance to ask questions. Like this, the two of them left the city area, one in front of the other, until they reached a desolate mountain ridge before stopping. Looking at the desolate surroundings, Lin Yun's face turned somewhat bitter as he asked: "What is it that you want to say? Why did we come here? This desolate mountain ridge... what if we encounter bad people?"

  Upon hearing this, Linglong stumbled and almost fell over, looking at the young man in front of her with a speechless expression. She glared at him fiercely and said: "Why do you always talk nonsense? Humph, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you an external martial skill."

  Is she going to teach herself a useless martial art? Lin Yun was surprised that Linglong wanted to learn a set of useless martial arts. As for Linglong's strength, he still couldn't see it until now, because the strength she showed in the Heavenly Punishment Mountain at that time completely surpassed him. What kind of person is Linglong after all?

  "Why are you teaching me external martial arts? And who exactly are you?"

  "It's none of your business who I am. As for martial arts, you can learn if you want to, and I'm kind enough to teach you, but you don't even show appreciation."

  "Of course I understand, how could I not understand?" Lin Yun didn't continue to ask, after all everyone has their own secrets, and besides, from start to finish, Linglong had no malice towards him, so why bother asking.

  "You want to learn, but you don't know what's good for you. The external martial arts technique I'm teaching you now is called Lingbo Weibu, a set of body techniques."

  Light steps on the waves?

  What is martial arts?

  It's worth noting that, whether it's a native martial art or an external one, they are all divided into three different types of martial arts: defensive martial arts, body method martial arts, and attacking martial arts. Among these different types of martial arts, the most difficult to obtain is the body method martial art, followed by the defensive martial art, and finally the attacking martial art. It's precisely because of this that Lin Yun was very surprised when Linglong wanted to teach herself a set of body method martial arts.

  "Lingbo Wei Bu, mysterious and endless, is based on 64 directions, combined with the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, to form a set of body techniques and martial skills. As your cultivation increases, Lingbo Wei Bu will become faster and faster. With your current strength, if you can master Lingbo Wei Bu, I believe that even a congenital martial artist may not be able to catch up with you."

  Hearing the power of Lingbo Weibu, Lin Yun was also shocked. At first, he didn't take Ling's words about Lingbo Weibu to heart, but now that he had heard its power, his heart itched with desire, and he couldn't wait to start learning immediately. However, he remained calm and waited for the other party to take the initiative to teach him Lingbo Weibu.

  She smiled speechlessly, and Linglong didn't continue to waste words either. She went on to teach Lin Yun the incantation of Lingbo Weibu, as well as various footwork techniques. After listening, Lin Yun was also amazed, because the number of steps in the Lingbo Weibu that Linglong had just taught was really too many.

  Lingbo Weibu has a total of 88 to 64 kinds of changes, and with the addition of yin and yang outside the five elements, there are various different changes. Adding up like this, even ghosts don't know how many changes there are. It can be said that Lingbo Weibu has countless changes. Wanting to thoroughly master all the steps of Lingbo Weibu is not an easy thing to do.

  "Have you remembered the oral formula and steps I just told you?"

  Nodding, although it's hard to remember, Lin Yun was still very confident in his memory and said: "I've remembered everything, but if I want to fully master all the steps, it will take at least three months."

  "What? Three months? You want to master all of Ling Bo's steps within three months?"

  "Right, what's wrong?" Lin Yun seemed puzzled, why Linglong heard his words and had such an expression, was he stupid?

  "I said, Lin Yun, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Even if you're a super genius, it takes several years to cultivate to the Great Completion stage with Lingbo Weibu. You only need three months? Are you a genius among geniuses?"

  Actually, Lin Yun didn't know that the Lingbo Micro Step passed down by Linglong was a top-secret technique of a superpowerful force. There were very few people in the world who knew the Lingbo Micro Step, and whether there were even five such people was unknown. This time, Linglong's decision to pass on the Lingbo Micro Step to Lin Yun was unclear - it was uncertain whether she did so willingly or at the behest of the black-robed figure. In any case, the Lingbo Micro Step was a heaven-defying martial technique that was rarely seen in the world.

  "Linglong, you don't know yet, my talent is absolutely top-notch. Don't believe me? Just watch, within three months, I will master all the steps of Lingbo's micro-step."

  "How dare you, what right do you have to say this?"

  "If you don't believe me, why don't we make a bet?"

  "Make a bet? Alright, you go first and let's see how we can make this bet."

  "It's very simple, if I can master all the steps of Lingbo Weibu within three months, you have to tell me your secret. And if I fail to master all the steps of Lingbo Weibu within three months, then I unconditionally agree to one condition from you, what is it?"

  Looking at the young man in front of her, Linglong didn't hesitate for a moment and agreed to it. After all, she was very clear that it would be extremely difficult to master the Lingbo Micro Step, even if one were a super genius, it would take at least more than a year's time, let alone three months.

  "Alright, I promise you, remember what you said today," after saying that, Linglong turned around and left.

  Helpless smile, Lin Yun had a good impression of this little ghost head. After Linglong left, he didn't leave immediately to return to the college, but instead stayed behind to start practicing the Lingbo Micro Step. This time, whether it was for himself or the bet, he wanted to master the Lingbo Micro Step at the fastest speed possible. As a top-notch existence among body techniques and martial skills, once mastered, even if he couldn't win in a fight, he could still turn around and escape.

  It has to be admitted that all the steps of Lingbo Weibu are indeed very troublesome. After all, it takes a lot of time to verify these steps one by one, let alone integrate them all together.

  Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yun had been practicing the Lingbo Micro Step for a whole day. As dusk fell and night descended, just as he was about to get up and return to the academy, his face changed because at this moment, from afar, two terrifying auras suddenly shot out from the direction of the academy, one after another, and the two auras were already heading in his direction.
