Chapter 8

The wolf claws of the three-headed iron-clawed wolves were already quite valuable, and now Lin Yun had them all to himself.

This battle not only greatly boosted Lin Yun's confidence but also brought him substantial rewards.

In the following days, Lin Yun officially began his hunting.

The trials between life and death strengthened his will. Gathering water into a stream, flowing like the wind, the essence of the Flowing Wind Sword Technique was fully unleashed in actual combat.

The destructive power displayed was far from that of a mid-level sword technique, with astonishing power.

In just three short days, he had astonishing gains, and his bag was already filled with spoils.

Iron wolf claws, spotted tiger skins, sharp bull horns... all kinds of fierce beast materials filled the bag.

"I need to find a place to hide them."

With so many materials from fierce beasts, movement was very inconvenient.

After surveying the jungle, Lin Yun chose a secluded spot, hid the bag in a tree, covered it with leaves, and then patted his hands and jumped down.

Looking up, the branches and leaves completely concealed the bag.

At this moment, an unusually dense flow of spiritual energy drifted over from behind.

"A feng shui treasure land?"

Lin Yun was startled. He knew that in this world, there were many places with abnormally abundant spiritual energy, known as feng shui treasure lands.

Within the Qingyun Sect, such feng shui treasure lands were occupied by elders and inner disciples.

He was just looking for a hidden place to hide the bag, but he discovered a feng shui treasure land.

Let's take a look!

Following the direction of the spiritual energy, he quickly moved forward. After a moment, Lin Yun felt something strange.

The surroundings had become much quieter without him noticing.

In the mountains, even the faintest breeze could be heard clearly, but there was no sound of insects, birds, or beasts.

With a hint of suspicion in his eyes, Lin Yun gritted his teeth and continued forward with courage.

If it truly was a feng shui treasure land, his Pure Yang Technique would definitely advance further.

Such an opportunity, he really didn't want to miss.

After half an incense stick, Lin Yun stopped. The source of the spiritual energy was right here.

"Indeed, it is a feng shui treasure land. The concentration of spiritual energy in this place is at least several times higher, or even more!"

Suppressing his inner excitement, he surveyed the surroundings. Apart from a pile of unknown wild grass and fruits, there was nothing unusual.

"Regardless, I will cultivate the Pure Yang Technique to the second level and then leave quickly."

With his mind made up, Lin Yun came to a tree, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.

The Pure Yang Technique circulated in his body, guiding the surrounding spiritual energy to flow into his body.

The dense spiritual energy rapidly strengthened his internal energy, continuously nourishing his skin, bones, and meridians.

The ten levels of martial arts: the first three levels focus on skin and bones, the middle three levels on flesh, blood, and organs, and the last three levels on tendons, bones, and marrow, reaching the peak of the tenth level.

Each three levels is a significant hurdle, but today, in this feng shui treasure land, Lin Yun felt something extraordinary.

The Pure Yang Technique, which usually progressed slowly, was now advancing rapidly.

The originally blocked meridians, under the impact of the powerful internal energy, did not pause at all.

His cultivation rapidly improved.

Maintaining a calm mind, Lin Yun did not fall into a state of frenzy. Martial arts cultivation requires constant caution.

If he was not careful and lost control of his internal energy, he might damage his meridians.

In the worst case, his cultivation would be completely ruined.

Joy can turn to sorrow in a moment.

After the Pure Yang Technique circulated through several major cycles, the internal energy returned and condensed into a yellow vortex in the dantian.

The Pure Yang Technique successfully broke through to the second level!

Lin Yun was neither happy nor sad. Using the dense spiritual energy in this feng shui treasure land, he continued to cultivate the second level of the Pure Yang Technique.

It must be said that the second level of the Pure Yang Technique was vastly different from the first level.

The speed of absorbing surrounding spiritual energy was twice as fast.

Break!

After two hours, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes, a smile on his face.

All the meridians in his body were fully unblocked.

His martial arts cultivation successfully broke through the third-level bottleneck, advancing to the fourth level!

He could clearly feel that the internal energy flowing through his meridians was several times more condensed than before. When he used it, it was much more fluid and unobstructed.

"Even within the Qingyun Sect, there might not be such a good feng shui treasure land. Today, I have had great luck."

The joy on Lin Yun's face was hard to hide.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the spiritual energy in the feng shui treasure land suddenly began to rotate.

The dense spiritual energy continuously condensed, visible to the naked eye as a faint spiritual light.

"What is this?"

Lin Yun's face changed slightly. He saw an unremarkable wild fruit in the weeds, absorbing all the spiritual energy.

He suddenly understood.

No wonder the spiritual energy here was so dense. It turned out that a heavenly treasure was being born. From the looks of it, the wild fruit was about to become a spirit fruit.

Whoosh!

At the moment the spiritual energy was completely absorbed by the wild fruit, a figure moved with lightning speed.

The wild fruit, glowing with spiritual light, was swallowed in one bite. Upon closer inspection, it was a saw-toothed tiger!

The saw-toothed tiger, a fierce beast with the strength of the fourth level of martial arts in the Hengyun Mountains, was a whole level stronger than the iron-clawed wolves.

Previously, when Lin Yun saw a saw-toothed tiger from a distance, he would turn and run.

The difference in levels was clear. If he was targeted, it would mean certain death.

Roar!

The saw-toothed tiger, having consumed the spirit fruit, looked up at Lin Yun, its eyes glowing with a faint bloodlight. A cold chill invaded his body, making Lin Yun's body involuntarily tremble.

"Fiendish aura!"

Lin Yun was greatly alarmed, feeling as if one foot was already in the gates of death.

This was a saw-toothed tiger that was about to evolve into a fiendish beast!

Unprecedented panic swept over his heart, and regret flooded in like a tidal wave.

He shouldn't have been greedy for the spirit fruit. After breaking through his cultivation, he should have left quickly.

Damn... I can't move!

Lin Yun was somewhat terrified to find that after being targeted by the saw-toothed tiger, his limbs did not obey him, as if they had gone limp.

He immediately realized that this was the instinctive fear of a mortal body facing danger.

With a low, deep roar, the saw-toothed tiger, still chewing the spirit fruit, took a step toward Lin Yun.

Fear spread throughout his body, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Never before had Lin Yun felt death so close, and a sense of despair spread in his heart.

Just a moment ago, he was immersed in the joy of breaking through his cultivation, but now he was almost in despair.

No, I can't die here!

Dying so pitifully was unacceptable. Even if he died, he would make the saw-toothed tiger pay a price.

Life is not to be played with like a floating weed, left to the whims of fate.

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, shouting in his heart repeatedly. He wanted to draw his sword, to make his unresponsive limbs move.

Roar!

The saw-toothed tiger, approaching step by step, roared and pounced.

A massive shadow enveloped Lin Yun.

When death truly came, Lin Yun unexpectedly found that his heart was not filled with fear but rather a sense of calm.

In that moment of calm, his previously immobile limbs seemed to move.

A tiger in the heart, gently sniffing a rose.

This phrase popped into his mind, reminding him of the tiger he had seen in the mysterious scroll.

Draw the sword!

Without time for more thoughts, Lin Yun drew his sword and swung it at the pouncing tiger.

Pfft, the long sword, infused with internal energy, was swatted away by the saw-toothed tiger's single claw.

The difference in strength was evident.

However, this one strike did manage to delay the saw-toothed tiger for a moment, pulling Lin Yun back from the brink of death.

Without hesitation, Lin Yun rolled on the ground, dodging the saw-toothed tiger's fatal pounce.

Boom!

A tree, which required two people to encircle, was easily broken by the saw-toothed tiger's pounce.

Lin Yun drew a cold breath, his mind highly tense. There was no way to retreat now.

The saw-toothed tiger, missing its target, became agitated and turned to pounce at Lin Yun again.

Looking to the side, the old sword was stuck in a tree a hundred meters away, temporarily unusable.

Lin Yun steeled his resolve and used the fully mastered Tiger Fist to directly confront the fiendish saw-toothed tiger.

Bang!

Fist and claw clashed, and Lin Yun was sent flying ten meters, landing with his blood and qi surging, and he took three more steps back.

However, a smile appeared on Lin Yun's face.

The internal energy derived from the Pure Yang Technique, driving the fully mastered Tiger Fist, still had the strength to fight the saw-toothed tiger.

The expected one-touch defeat did not happen.

After all, the Pure Yang Technique was known for its condensed and heavy internal energy. Combined with the fully mastered Tiger Fist, it would not be so easily defeated.

Most importantly, his cultivation was now at the fourth level of martial arts.

Man and tiger engaged in a fierce battle.

Lin Yun, fighting for his life under immense pressure, performed exceptionally.

The terrifying power of the fully mastered Tiger Fist was displayed to the fullest in his hands. The tiger's spirit from the mysterious scroll continuously echoed in his mind, gradually neutralizing the fiendish aura from the saw-toothed tiger.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the midst of the struggle, Lin Yun vaguely felt that his mastery of the Tiger Fist was continuously improving.

There seemed to be a hint of breaking through to the peak of perfection.

From the initial awkward defense, he gradually began to counterattack. Each punch that landed on the saw-toothed tiger made it howl in pain, clearly showing the power.

He was like a king of tigers, his aura gradually overwhelming the saw-toothed tiger.

Lin Yun, with his fully opened aura, seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and unleashed the killing move of the Tiger Fist.

Stepping back, bowing his body, bending his waist, the tiger roared in the mountains!

In the roar, the joints of his fingers cracked like thunder, and Lin Yun delivered a punch.

Bang!

The massive body of the saw-toothed tiger was sent flying by Lin Yun's punch.

For the first time in the struggle with the saw-toothed tiger, Lin Yun managed to push it back.

Tiger Descending the Mountain!

Building on his momentum, Lin Yun leaped up, transforming into the king of the mountains.

With a roar, Lin Yun's punch, carrying a surge of wind, landed on the saw-toothed tiger, which had just struggled to its feet.

This punch made Lin Yun feel as if his blood was burning.

A surge of passion welled up in his chest, growing stronger.

Hundred Beasts Paying Homage!

Without hesitation, Lin Yun, with full passion, roared and unleashed the strongest killing move of the Tiger Fist.

This punch, when unleashed, made Lin Yun's fist glow like a sharp sword, with unparalleled sharpness!

The staggering saw-toothed tiger, seeing Lin Yun's approaching figure, showed infinite fear in its eyes.

In its eyes, the approaching Lin Yun was not a tiger but a sharp sword.

Fist like a sword, roaring in the wind, a hundred beasts paying homage!

With the roar in the wind...

The final punch landed, and the saw-toothed tiger, with a muffled groan, fell and did not rise again.
