Chapter 34

The next morning, Lin Yiming got up early. He wasn't sure if it was because of the surge in his mental energy, but after waking up, he found himself much more energetic than usual.

"Creak..."

As Lin Yiming opened the door, the door opposite also opened, and Guo Guo walked out. Compared to before, her complexion seemed a bit rosier, and her strength...

"You have cultivated the Martial Dao Spirit Heart."

Lin Yiming and Guo Guo looked at each other in surprise, speaking at the same time.

"My Martial Dao Spirit Heart was cultivated yesterday. Did you also cultivate it yesterday?" Lin Yiming looked at Guo Guo in surprise.

"I don't know." Guo Guo shook her little head, looking puzzled. "I woke up and found that I had cultivated the Martial Dao Spirit Heart."

"Breakthrough while sleeping!" Lin Yiming's mouth dropped open in shock, staring at the little girl in front of him. Who exactly is this little Guo Guo? At such a young age, she has already achieved the Martial Dao Spirit Heart, and she broke through without even practicing. This is even more impressive than I am. I wonder what her secret is.

Moreover, she could see through my cultivation level. I can see through the cultivation levels of people at the same level because my mental energy is particularly strong, but what about little Guo Guo?

She can see through my level, but it can't be because her mental energy is strong. If her mental energy were particularly strong, I wouldn't be able to see through her level. What's the reason?

Lin Yiming couldn't figure it out, and he felt that little Guo Guo was becoming more and more mysterious.

Also, her appetite is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder if I can afford to feed this little girl in the future. At this rate, she might end up eating as much as the whole village.

After breakfast, Lin Yiming found that the villagers' injuries had all healed. He had stayed to treat their injuries, and since they were now healed, there was no need to stay any longer.

However, before leaving, he needed to bid farewell to the chairman of the auction house. After all, the chairman had helped a lot this time.

After everyone was ready, Lin Yiming walked alone to the chairman's door, but he was stopped at the door.

"What? You say the chairman is in seclusion?" Lin Yiming looked at the two attendants at the door, not quite believing their words. How could he go into seclusion so suddenly?

Could it be that the chairman doesn't want to see me?

Thinking about this, Lin Yiming suddenly realized. The chairman is a thousand-realm powerhouse, and I am just a small-time martial artist who has just cultivated the Martial Dao Spirit Heart. The gap between us is enormous. For the chairman to see me is already giving me face. If he doesn't want to see me, there's nothing I can say.

This world, after all, respects the strong.

Thinking this, Lin Yiming smiled at the two attendants and bowed. "Since the chairman is not here, I will take my leave. The villagers are waiting for us. When the chairman comes out of seclusion, please tell him that I am grateful for his care these past few days."

"Sure."

The two attendants smiled, but their hearts were already in turmoil. Lin Yiming had already cultivated the Martial Dao Spirit Heart.

In just two or three days, he had broken through. They had already thought highly of him, but it would take at least half a month or a month for him to break through. How could he have broken through so quickly?

Perhaps this guy has some unknown secret. No wonder the chairman values him so much.

Everyone has their own destiny, and sometimes you can't force it.

Speaking of which, the two attendants also had their own unknown encounters. Perhaps Lin Yiming's encounter is important to him, but to them, it's nothing special. At their level, ordinary treasures can't move them.

When you reach a certain level, those treasures are no longer treasures.

After Lin Yiming left, the two attendants opened the door and walked in.

Inside the room, the chairman was lazily sitting on a couch, playing with a chubby cat. Hearing the footsteps, he looked up, glanced at the two attendants, and then continued to stroke the cat's soft fur. "He's gone?"

"Yes, he's gone. And we found out that he has already broken through."

"Oh? He broke through so quickly? That's unexpected." The chairman paused, then continued to stroke the cat. "This is interesting. The Liu family won't let him off so easily. You should follow and see what happens."

"Yes!" The two attendants quickly left and quietly followed Lin Yiming and the others.

This time, Lin Yiming and the villagers took the official road. Liu Tong had paid a hundred silver taels, which was enough for them to take the official road.

After walking for half a day, the sky gradually darkened.

Seeing that it was getting late and everyone was very tired, Lin Yiming decided to rest and continue the journey the next morning.

However, just as they found a place and lit a campfire, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the forest.

More than ten masked men appeared around the campsite, quickly surrounding Lin Yiming and the others.

"Can you encounter bandits even on the official road?" Lin Yiming looked at the people surrounding him, frowning. Isn't it rare to encounter bandits on the official road? How could he encounter bandits on the first day? Their luck is really bad.

Moreover, these people felt familiar for some reason.

After his mental energy surged, Lin Yiming had an unusual trust in his intuition, which told him that these people were not bandits.

His eyes scanned over the group, and suddenly, his gaze stopped on one person. This person had a jade pendant at his waist, symbolizing the identity of an appraiser!

Lin Yiming's expression hardened, and his muscles tensed. He pointed at the person and said coldly, "Liu Tong, it's you. It seems you still haven't given up, pretending to be bandits!"

"You know it's me!" The other person was stunned for a moment when Lin Yiming exposed them, then slowly removed the black cloth from his face.

"Although I don't know where the flaw was that you saw through us, since you've figured it out, there's no need to hide anymore."

The man removed his mask, revealing a cold face.

Liu Tong threw the mask away, glaring at Lin Yiming with fierce eyes. "You think that by taking my money and food, and making me kneel to you, you can still live? A country bumpkin like you doesn't deserve me to kneel to you. The price for making me kneel is death!"

Liu Tong looked at Lin Yiming as if he were already dead, smirking. "You made me pay, and even got the Appraisal Alliance to help you, but what does it matter? You're still going to die today. The man next to me is a Spirit Heart Realm expert. Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken... Ha ha ha, are you afraid? I don't think you can find any more help this time!"

Liu Tong became more and more smug, his face growing more and more sinister and crazy. "How does it feel to be afraid? Beg for mercy! Beg me to spare you... Ha ha ha, but even if you beg me, I won't spare you. I want you to die, not just you, but all of you!"

Lin Yiming didn't speak, but the spiritual energy inside him surged wildly. This Liu Tong, he has never wronged him, yet he wants to kill him and all the villagers. This man deserves to die!

Liu Tong shouted a few times, but Lin Yiming didn't respond. His laughter grew even louder. "What? Not begging for mercy? Are you scared? How boring." He then looked at the man next to him and pointed at Lin Yiming. "Brother Tian, kill him."

"Sure!"

Tian, the senior brother, sneered and then suddenly charged at Lin Yiming.

"Indeed, it's the Martial Dao Spirit Heart."

Lin Yiming watched the martial artist charge, feeling a stroke of luck. The person was a martial artist, and even a second-layer Spirit Heart Realm martial artist. If he hadn't broken through the Martial Dao Spirit Heart yesterday, he would have died today.

But now...

Although he was only at the first layer of the Spirit Heart Realm, he could still fight across realms. Now, he might have a chance to fight.

As the opponent charged, Lin Yiming's eyes locked onto him.

He noticed that the opponent's movements seemed very slow.

Seeing the opponent's punch, Lin Yiming quickly dodged to the side, then raised his fist and struck the opponent's neck.

Instantly, the Martial Dao Spirit Heart in his body sank into the sea of qi and began to pulse rapidly.

In a moment, the Martial Dao Spirit Heart pulsed twelve times. With each pulse, a surge of spiritual energy like a tidal wave burst forth.

With one punch, a violent current of air surged, and leaves on the ground were swept up by the air, flying toward Tian, the senior brother.

"Boom!"

The heavy punch hit, and Tian, the senior brother, felt as if he had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer. A tidal wave of spiritual energy surged into his body, wreaking havoc.

The powerful impact sent him flying far away.

Although protected by spiritual energy, his neck was completely twisted and mangled by the punch, the flesh and blood a mess.

"Cough, cough..."

Falling to the ground, Tian, the senior brother, coughed with difficulty. Under the heavy blow, even breathing was a struggle.

Looking up at the young man opposite, he couldn't understand how, at such a young age, the other person had also achieved the Martial Dao Spirit Heart. Although he seemed to be only at the first layer, his speed was so fast that even he couldn't see it clearly, and his strength was even greater than his own, a second-layer Spirit Heart Realm martial artist. The surge of spiritual energy just now didn't seem like that of a first-layer martial artist at all, but rather that of a third or even fourth-layer martial artist. What's going on?

This time, I really shouldn't have helped Liu Tong.

In the distance, Liu Tong saw Tian, the senior brother, fall and was stunned. After a while, he regained his senses and pointed at Lin Yiming, trembling. "You... How can you be so strong? Brother Tian is a Spirit Heart Realm expert, how could you kill Brother Tian? Impossible, this is impossible!..."

"There's nothing impossible. I am also a Martial Dao Spirit Heart." Lin Yiming's eyes flashed with deep killing intent. "Since you want to kill me and the people from my village, I can't let you go!"

Lin Yiming roared and suddenly charged at Liu Tong.

Seeing Lin Yiming charge, Liu Tong lost his previous arrogance and turned to run.

Even the strongest Brother Tian had been defeated, so who could match Lin Yiming now? If not now, when would he run?

"Hmph, you still want to run!"

Lin Yiming's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he quickly caught up to Liu Tong, kicking him from behind with a force like a thousand-pound stone, shattering Liu Tong's head.

Stopping, he looked at the others who had been knocked down by Guo Guo, Lin Yiming gritted his teeth and charged again, snatching a saber from one of them and cutting them down one by one.

"Ahh, Yiming, why did you kill them!" Everyone was shocked by Lin Yiming's sudden act of killing. When did Lin Yiming become so ruthless?

"I killed them because they wanted to kill us." After killing, Lin Yiming looked at the villagers with a smile. "If I let them go, they would keep causing trouble for us. I had to choose to kill them to ensure the safety of our village. Besides, since they came to kill, they are not good people. Keeping them alive would only harm others, so it's better to kill them."

Lin Yiming then muttered to himself, "Besides, not all transmigrants are so decisive, right?"

"What? Transmigrants? What are those?" Everyone looked at Lin Yiming in confusion.

"Uh, nothing, nothing. Let's clean up the bodies and continue on our way."

On the side, in the forest, the two attendants exchanged glances and quickly left, heading back to the auction house. In just an hour, they completed the journey that Lin Yiming and the others took a whole day to complete.

Entering the chairman's room, they reported everything they had seen to the chairman.

"Oh? That little guy is so decisive, truly remarkable. He's becoming more and more interesting. A-er, you don't need to do anything else for now. Just follow that little guy and see what other surprises he can bring us." The chairman glanced at the night outside, a deep smile on his lips.
