Chapter 5

"Duelling with a scum like you would tarnish my reputation, Lin Jie! Here are four Essence Cultivation Pills, take them! Lin Tong, Lin Zhi, Lin Hu, Lin Chao, you all go one by one, beat him to a pulp, just leave him a breath of life! I'll take the responsibility for whatever happens! No one can insult my sister like that!" Lin Jie said coldly.

Lin Jie, who had always been arrogant, was angry but did not want to challenge Lin Nan personally. No matter the outcome, it would damage his reputation if it got out. This guy, though young, was not weak-minded and had been taught by his father from a young age to aim for the position of the future head of the Lin family. How could he lower himself to challenge a scum? He couldn't afford to lose face!

Hearing this, Lin Nan chuckled. Insult? I did more than just insult. If I get the chance, I'll return everything Lin Xi did to me, and more!

The tragic man's memory was very clear. Even after Lin Nan, the imposter, merged with his soul and memories, he still felt furious. Every year during the annual competition, what was supposed to be a match where they just touched each other, always ended with him being "accidentally" severely injured, unable to get out of bed for at least half a month. If it weren't for this, the tragic man might have already broken through to the Three Flowers Realm. Lin Xi, Uncle Lin Jianqiu, and the treatment of his father and himself, every single account needed to be settled!

There's no way around it, I'm just that petty, and I'll be damned if I don't get my revenge!

Of course, settling scores takes time, and having enough strength is a prerequisite.

"Little brat, you haven't even grown any hair, yet you're so ruthless. Indeed, a tiger doesn't give birth to a dog. With such a heavy price, I'm suddenly a bit regretful..."

"Scum, are you going to back out at the last minute?" Lin Jie said angrily. He was seething with anger. If Lin Nan backed out, he would be at a loss. The Lin family's rules were very strict, and even he wouldn't dare to openly and deliberately injure Lin Nan in broad daylight, unless it was a duel.

"How could I? I'm a man of principles! Hmm, the registration fee is ten Essence Cultivation Pills. You, little brat, and the four idiots can go one by one or all together, it's up to you! Of course, if you can't afford it, it's fine with me. Teaching you guys a lesson would be beneath me!" Lin Nan shrugged, stroked his chin, and looked down at the sullen Lin Jie, speaking leisurely, not feeling the least bit ashamed of his extortion or the arrogance in his words.

Of course, what Lin Nan said was the truth, but no one believed the scum labeled as such.

"Principles? If this is called having principles, are there any people in the world without principles?" Everyone was speechless.

However, the biggest feeling was that this scum had gone mad, and mad with poverty!

Essence Cultivation Pills are good, but you need to have the life to enjoy them. This is a challenge, and if you accept, there's no guarantee that there won't be any 'accidents'!

The Lin family does not allow life-or-death duels. Even if it's an 'accident' that leads to death, the punishment would be severe, especially if it involves a talented disciple, who might lose their life or have their cultivation revoked. But Lin Nan is no longer the top ten Lin Nan; he's just scum now. How severe could the punishment be?

"Fine, fine, here you go!" Lin Jie was so angry that he could hardly speak. As one of the most talented disciples of the Lin family, limited by his age and realm, his monthly allowance was only one Essence Cultivation Pill. Ten pills would take ten months. Fortunately, his father, who controlled the finances, provided him with more cultivation resources than just his allowance. Otherwise, Lin Nan's extortion would be too much for him to bear.

Lin Nan took the ten Essence Cultivation Pills, sniffed each one to ensure they were genuine, and then looked at Lin Jie, mocking him. "Tsk, tsk, your cultivation resources are truly abundant. Ten Essence Cultivation Pills, just handed over like that! I, a top ten disciple, only get one per month. If I remember correctly, your monthly allowance is also one, right? No wonder, being the son of the financial controller, you can't be compared! You little brats, look at him, then look at yourselves. Can you compare? Do you know why this little brat and Lin Xi are better than us? If you want to compare, first, you need a father who controls the finances!"

"This..." The surrounding disciples were all stunned.

"Yes, our talents may not be truly inferior, but we just don't have such good cultivation resources. I only get one Essence Cultivation Pill every three months."

"You're lucky, I get one every four months. How can we compare? They use several pills a month, and can even casually hand over ten!"

"The monthly allowance is determined by talent and strength, and no one is an exception. But how does Lin Jie have so many pills?"

The crowd, deliberately provoked by Lin Nan, began to show dissatisfaction. Of course, those who dared to speak out were all direct descendants, whose fathers were either close brothers or powerful cousins of Lin Jianqiu.

"Scum, what do you mean?" Lin Jie's face turned red with anger. "My pills are all provided by my father's private resources! Although my father controls the finances, all decisions must be approved by the family head! Do you think he's embezzling?"

"Hahaha..." Lin Nan laughed meaningfully, then changed the subject. "Come, come, come, the registration fee is paid, I accept the challenge. Little brat, four idiots, come at me all at once, don't waste time. I'm in a hurry to have breakfast!"

"You! Scum, you're asking for death! Even if you beg for mercy on your knees today, I, Lin Jie, will completely cripple you!" Lin Jie was so angry that he didn't care about his reputation anymore. He took a step forward, and a powerful true essence immediately surged within him.

"Boom!" A crimson light, like burning flames, suddenly condensed on Lin Jie's fists.

"What? It's actually the Flame Fire Fist! So powerful!"

"Is it the supreme Yellow-grade martial technique, Flame Fire Fist?"

Martial techniques and cultivation methods are ranked from low to high as Yellow-grade, Black-grade, Earth-grade, Heaven-grade, Saint-grade, and the legendary God-grade. Each grade is further divided into four levels: Inferior, Middle, Superior, and Supreme.

A supreme Yellow-grade martial technique is usually only achievable by a peak Ninth Layer True Essence martial artist. Especially for techniques with clear elemental attributes, they are even harder to master, and the Flame Fire Fist is one such technique.

"Indeed, Young Master Jie is the most talented person in the Lin family, mastering the Flame Fire Fist at the peak Sixth Layer True Essence! Oh my God..."

"Born with a Fire Spirit Body, it's not surprising that Young Master Jie can master the Flame Fire Fist at the Sixth Layer True Essence! No wonder he said he was about to break through!"

"Scum Lin Nan is finished! He has clearly thoroughly enraged Young Master Jie!"

Lin Jie's aura stunned everyone present. No one expected his talent to be so high.

"Indeed, a Fire Spirit Body is powerful..."

Even Lin Nan couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

"Hmph, scum, I should thank you. If you hadn't thoroughly enraged me, I might have needed to reach the Seventh Layer to master the Flame Fire Fist! As a thank you, I'll let you be the first to taste the power of my Flame Fire Fist!"

"Boom!"

Lin Jie punched out, a crimson fist glow carrying a fierce and scorching force, attacking Lin Nan.

Just as everyone thought that scum Lin Nan would surely be sent flying and severely injured by the fire-attribute true essence, the scum suddenly moved!
