Chapter 246: The Shock Brought by Su Lin |
In the morning, when Xia Shiyu was dropped off at the Su Corporation building by Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan and her father, Lin Guoqiang, were already there.
“Xiaowan, I saw your dad's car downstairs just now. Did he drop you off?” asked Xia Shiyu.
Lin Xiaowan nodded, “He's currently discussing business with your dad. They probably didn't finish talking yesterday.”
“What time did you go home yesterday?”
Lin Xiaowan gave Su Lin a look and replied, “And you bother to ask? You guys left so early.”
“Cough, cough... Well, you came with your dad, I couldn't just take you with me.” After saying this, Su Lin wrapped his arm around Lin Xiaowan's slim waist and asked, “Going home today?”
Surprised by the question, Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin and then nodded, “Yes, I am. I don't know what you said to my dad, but he told me to stay well at your place.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk... just as I thought.”
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan, who certainly didn't know about the affair between Lin Guoqiang and He Suxin; otherwise, she wouldn't be so close to He Suxin. Both Lin Guoqiang and He Suxin are tight-lipped, so prying into their story seemed impossible.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin suspiciously, “You two have secrets.”
“Cough, cough... What secrets could your dad and I possibly have after meeting just a few times?” Su Lin expressed confusion.
“I don't know, but my instincts tell me you two are keeping secrets. Su Lin, you'd better tell me early; otherwise, if I find out, you're dead,” Lin Xiaowan warned, making a twisting gesture with her hand.
Su Lin was indeed started; Lin Xiaowan's skill at twisting arms seemed to be getting sharper by the day.
"Alright, Xiaowan, what could I possibly hide from you? Haven't I told you about all my girlfriends?"
“You still have the nerve to bring that up...”
"Okay, go do your coding. I need to get to work."
Seeing Lin Xiaowan's angry look, Su Lin found it very amusing. He's not the typical clueless man who would pester Lin Xiaowan unnecessarily.
He had serious matters to attend to. So, Su Lin nodded, “Alright, I'll head back to my office. Xiaowan, make sure no one disturbs me.”
“Are you going to cultivate?”
Su Lin nodded, “I've had some insights recently that I need to consolidate.”
Lin Xiaowan's gaze brightened even more. She thought she, Xia Shiyu, and Qin Jiuyue were monstrous enough, but Su Lin was the real freak of nature. The same age as her, and already at the pinnacle of Grandmaster. If he breaks through, then isn't that…
Such a young Human Immortal was simply inhuman. Having gotten involved in cultivation, Lin Xiaowan realized how difficult it was.
Some people spend their whole lives stuck at the threshold of becoming a Grandmaster and end up just becoming fighters or high-level bodyguards.
But for Su Lin, breaking through seemed as easy as eating or drinking: “This is just too outrageous.”
Lin Xiaowan murmured, which Su Lin heard clearly. He turned around and asked, “Who are you calling outrageous? My ears work very well, you know.”
“It's you, you…” Lin Xiaowan gritted her teeth, her eyes watery.
Looking at her, Su Lin was tempted. In the end, he managed to control his impulses and went back to his office alone.
"This damned youthful body. Xiaowan, really, why do you look at me like that? Don't you know it could lead to crime?"
Seeing Su Lin beat a hasty retreat, Lin Xiaowan couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then shaking her head, she remarked, “Serves you right.” After laughing quietly for a bit, she finally started working.
Su Lin, once he calmed down, summoned the system. “System, I want to claim my reward.”
[Reward has been issued~~!!].Su Lin felt a clarity wash over his mind, and then knowledge about the Six-Wing Saber Technique and the Eight Trigrams Array filled his thoughts.
The Six-Wing Saber Technique, renowned for its speed, truly lives up to the saying, “In the world of martial arts, speed is unbeatable.”
Now, Su Lin felt that if he used the Six-Wing Saber Technique unexpectedly, people like Wang Yannian and Bai Qikun might very well fall into his trap, likely resulting in severe injuries.
However, what truly delighted him was not this but the memories regarding the Eight Trigram Array. The Eight Trigram Diagram is not just a simple formation but includes offensive, defensive, and trapping techniques all in one. Most importantly, this formation is effective even against Human Immortals.
“Damn... if it's well executed, couldn't it kill a Human Immortal?” Thinking about drawing someone into the Eight Trigram Diagram and then attacking them using the diagram—who could withstand that?
The idea of preparing in advance to ensnare Wang Yannian and his group was extremely thrilling. Su Lin didn't have time to think further as the pure internal energy from the system brought him into a unique state.
He felt his dantian filled with surging internal energy, then the qi began to rapidly transform, slowly forming true essence.
“So this is what it's like to transition from the peak of Grandmaster to a Human Immortal.”
He felt that his dantian no longer contained inner energy but was instead filled with liquid-like true essence, which flowed throughout his body with his blood, widening Su Lin's meridians.
"Ah~! This tingling sensation, damn..." After a bout of soreness, Su Lin experienced another significant change.
His already handsome and robust features became even more resolute, and although he looked like he had slimmed down, only Su Lin knew that he hadn't lost weight but had actually gained.
It was just that the density of his muscles had increased, and now even if he was shot at point-blank, the bullet wouldn't be able to penetrate his skin layer.
"Good thing the muscles still look normal, otherwise Xiaowan and the others would kill me. Cough cough... I'm getting sidetracked."
Su Lin didn't know that his breakthrough to a Human Immortal had caused an earthquake throughout the entire Donghai. In a villa next to the Xiao family's, Wang Yannian and a few elderly men behind him immediately stood up.
"This aura... Someone has become a Land Immortal, there is such a person in Donghai, such a powerful presence. Brother Wang, your breakthrough didn't have such a strong aura, did it?"
Wang Yannian nodded and said to Zhao Changlin, “Breaking through to a Land Immortal involves the liquefaction of true essence. A person's limit and the capacity of their dantian are closely related; the size to which the dantian can expand sets a person's limit. This person just broke through and already has such a strong aura, how did he do it, is half his belly a dantian?”
Zhao Changlin gave a bitter smile, “It's indeed a bit strange, a normal breakthrough doesn't have such a strong aura.”
“The most terrifying thing is that this aura is still steadily climbing, as if it has no limit. Who could this person be?”
Wang Yannian gave a wry smile and then said, “I think I might know who it is.”
“Who?”
All three looked at Wang Yannian.
Wang Yannian sighed lightly and uttered the name he least wanted to say, “This person should be that little guy from the Su family, Su Lin.”
