Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate

Chapter 60: The Unworldly People

The little girl, who was wearing primitive clothing, crawled in the bushes for more than an hour before she returned to the camp.

Lin An and the other two Jiuxiao Sect disciples were still following behind the little girl. Suddenly, they heard a steady male voice boom out from the dense branches above them once they got close to the camp.

“Which sect are the three of you from? Why did you follow Lin Er all the way to my camp?”

‘So, the little girl’s name is Lin Er?’ Lin An thought to himself. He was surprised to find out that they both shared the first name.

Since the three disciples had already been discovered, there was no need for them to hide, and they begrudgingly walked out from among the bushes.

When the little girl saw them, she was dismayed. She hadn’t expected that she would be followed, so she was very upset.

Instantly the young man jumped down from the tree. He looked to be only five years older than Lin An, but his cultivation strength was already at the peak of the golden core stage.

Lin An was secretly shocked. After he discovered the young man’s cultivation level, he knew that it would probably be difficult for the junior Jiuxiao Sect disciples beside him to match the strange man in a fight.

At the same time, Lin An was also disappointed in his previous existence. He had really been useless.

Lin An was around the same age as the mysterious young man, but he hadn’t even built his cultivation foundation, while the young man was already at the peak of the golden core stage. No wonder so many people in the Jiuxiao Sect hated him.

The young man landed beside Lin Er and stroked her hair with his wide palm.

“Lin Er, don’t be upset. Those who can enter this world are all elite disciples. Furthermore, they have practiced their cultivation for many years. Those who can break through the first three levels and reach the deepest part of this mystic realm are undoubtedly geniuses in the outside world. You’re only eight years old, and this was your first time leaving the camp to hunt alone. It’s very normal that you couldn’t detect them.”

When Lin Er heard the young man’s consolation, her mood improved.

However, when she looked at Lin An and the other two disciples, she couldn’t help but feel even more curious. Were they all geniuses from the outside world?

Lin An politely cupped his fists at the young man and said, “My name is Lin An. This is Lan Qi and Junior Brother Zhou, and we are disciples from the Jiuxiao Sect. We came to this world to seek opportunities.”

“Hahaha!” The young man suddenly laughed, and in an instant, he disappeared from Lin An’s sight.

Lin An’s heart was immediately alarmed, and he hurriedly activated the Eastern Emperor Bell and the demon morality sealing technique to protect his body.

Sure enough, in the next second, Lin An felt a powerful force crush his abdomen, and he was sent flying into the air. As Lin An floated through the air, he realized that the person responsible for the attack was the young man.

“Black and white ashen flames!”

Immediately, the black and white flames surged out from Lin An’s body as he was in mid-air, and they flowed towards the young man like two fiery snakes.

When the young man saw the black and white ashen flames, his eyes instantly revealed a trace of surprise.

He hadn’t anticipated that Lin An would actually have such a treasure hidden in his body.

Similar to the young man, the black-and-white ashen flames, were at the peak of the golden core stage. Therefore, he didn’t dare to take on the attack head-on. Instead, he retreated in a flash.

The black-and-white ashen flames didn’t chase after the enemy. On the contrary, they slowly retreated into Lin An’s body.

Lin An had only used the flames because he had been dazed by the young man’s sudden attack.

Now that he had stabilized himself, there was no need for him to waste his mana by activating the black-and-white ashen flames.

“Profound flame transformation!”

In a flash, a wave of golden flames surged out from Lin An’s body.

His speed, strength, and explosive power had all increased significantly. He quickly took a step forward and rushed towards the young man and threw his flaming fists at his opponent.

After an initial frantic exchange, Lin An had roughly figured out that the young man was a speed-type cultivator, so he was not surprised that several of his punches had missed their target.

The young man easily avoided Lin An’s blows, and he then took a strange posture and moved to the side.

All of a sudden, he raised his right leg and kicked at Lin An’s ribs.

Lin An’s speed was inferior to his opponent, so he couldn’t dodge the blow. It seemed that his only option was to directly use his physical strength to take on his attacker.

The young man’s speed far surpassed that of a peak-stage golden core cultivator of the same level.

Lin An believed that the young man must have sacrificed a considerable amount of strength to achieve his incredible speed.

It was impossible for a cultivator to have perfect attributes at all levels of cultivation, thus, Lin An was confident that he could overpower the young man.

He instantly circulated the morality demon sealing technique with all his strength and then fully activated the Eastern Emperor Bell.

A red and gold light shone out of Lin An’s body brightly as the young man’s kick landed on his ribs. Suddenly, Lin An was propelled backward due to the force of the kick.

It was indeed as Lin An had thought. The young man’s strength was slightly inferior to that of a cultivator of the same level, but since Lin An was still at the initial stage of the golden core level, he couldn’t perfectly block the attack.

However, that did not mean that he had lost.

As he had blocked the kick, Lin An had not activated the dark flame transformation technique, nor had he used the combination of the black and white ashen flames.

Otherwise, the young man would not have been able to land the kick.

Lin An had only used the Eastern Emperor Bell and the morality demon sealing technique to test the young man’s maximum strength!

After he successfully landed the kick, the young man’s figure instantly disappeared from Lin An’s sight, and he knew that another wave of attacks would be directed at him.

“Black and white ashen flame, dark flame transformation!”

The black and white ashen flame’s strength was at the peak of the golden core stage. Once it was coupled with the enhancement of the dark flame transformation, Lin An’s physical ability instantly rose to the same level as his opponent.

It was also at that moment that Lin An finally saw the young man’s movements clearly.

The young man had already arrived in front of Lin An. He suddenly stopped and swung his whip leg at Lin An’s head with the intention of knocking him out and ending the battle.

Boom!

Abruptly, several violent and chaotic energy waves surged in all directions, blowing Lin Er, who was not far away, to the ground. A large tree that was close to the two combatants was also blown to the side, and more than half of its roots were pulled out from the soil.

Lin An had only used his right hand to block the young man’s kick.

In an instant, the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ had activated in his body.

Since the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ emphasized that the more one fought, the stronger one became, Lin An felt that the strength in his body had increased substantially.

“Pfft!”

Lin An grabbed the young man’s calf with his right hand so that he could not escape. He then raised his leg and kicked the young man’s lower abdomen.

The force of the kick thrust the young man into the air, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

In addition to the young man’s inferior strength, his defense was also slightly lacking.

Lin An had only intended to pay back the kick that he had just received, and he hadn’t expected that his kick would cause the young man to bleed profusely.

“Brother Feng Lin!”

The young man slumped to the ground, and it seemed as if he couldn’t get up all of a sudden, so Lin Er quickly ran over to help him up.

“All right, I think we’re even. Feng Lin, why did you attack me?”

The young man got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He smiled at Lin Er to indicate that he was fine before turning to Lin An.

“Since you’re here for the Dragon God Cauldron and the Thousand-Faced Extreme Fire, you’ll naturally have to go through some tests. Facing me in combat was one of the tests. The Thousand-Faced Extreme Fire and the Dragon God Cauldron are in the middle of the Dragon God Illusory Realm. That realm is dangerous and unpredictable. If you don’t have high-level skills, you won’t survive. Therefore, if you can’t defeat my people, I’ll throw you out of the fourth level of the mystic realm.”
