109: Chapter 109 Stone Box Insect Embryo
Shock, intense shock!
At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Yuan with immense shock!
He was simply too powerful.
Lin Hong was already powerful enough, but in front of Lu Yuan, he was like a stray dog, his body easily blasted apart, and then he fled in a dejected manner.
"Master, you're here!"
Yuan Qing walked up to Lu Yuan with a pale face, feeling somewhat ashamed.
Lu Yuan just glanced at her indifferently and didn't say anything.
At this time, Ling Yichen also walked over and respectfully called out to Lu Yuan, "Tenth Martial Uncle!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, acknowledging him, then glanced at him, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Because at this moment, Ling Yichen's aura was much stronger than it had been in the morning.
Having grown so much in just a few short hours, how could he not be surprised?
"I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for everyone!"
Ling Yichen looked apologetic.
Because of him, Yuan Qing and W had both been injured, and they had even nearly been in mortal danger.
"I heard you brat killed Lin Yaotian's son?"
The old man suddenly asked.
Lin Yaotian was, naturally, the current head of the Lin Family.
Ling Yichen felt a bit awkward and nodded slightly.
However, the next second, the old man slapped Ling Yichen heavily on the shoulder and said happily, "Well killed!"
Ling Yichen was startled by this.
Not just Ling Yichen, but the others also looked at the old man in surprise.
The old man said with great interest, "Someone should have come out to deal with these bastard families a long time ago. You did very well, kid. When you encounter those arrogant things, you should slaughter a few to boost morale."
"It's just a pity you couldn't slaughter that Lin Hong too; I've disliked him for a long time."
"At the end of the day, you're still a bit weak, and a bit stupid. You're a Beast Tamer, yet you compete with someone in physical strength and power?"
"You should have used Poisonous Insects to bite him. Don't you have a few dogs? Use the dogs to bite him!"
Ling Yichen smiled bitterly and replied, "Master, it's useless. At Lin Hong's level, ordinary pets cannot cause effective damage to him, unless I can contract a Lord-grade monster!"
Lord-grade monsters are B-Rank in their infancy and can reach A-Rank when fully grown.
With a pet of this strength, let alone Lin Hong, even someone stronger could be fought!
Hearing this, the old man immediately looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan immediately said in a raspy voice, "In a while, I will take you out for a trip!"
Ling Yichen was overjoyed!
With his Martial Uncle taking him, let alone a Lord-grade, even a Divine Beast, Demon Beast, or Immortal Beast was possible.
After all, he knew that Lu Yuan had the strength to kill an adult Immortal Beast!
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!!"
Ling Yichen expressed his gratitude with great respect!
"Alright, it's getting late, everyone go back and rest early!"
The old man beckoned, then walked in front of Ling Yichen and handed over two Secret Art manuals.
Ling Yichen glanced at them and immediately saw the two manuals were titled: Word Spirit Art and Divine Movement Technique!
"These are?"
The old man leaned in mysteriously and said, "The Yan Family's Word Spirit Art and the Xu Family's Divine Movement Technique. One is for attacking, one is for escaping. In the future, when you encounter a strong enemy, fight if you can, and run if you can't!"
Ling Yichen smiled bitterly again.
How did this old man get his hands on such important things?
These were Secret Arts exclusive to the Yan Family and the Xu Family, not easily leaked, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to practice them.
The old man seemed to know what Ling Yichen was thinking and said indifferently, "Practice them freely. They won't dare to do anything to you because these things originally belonged to us; they were just snatched away by these robbers and claimed as their own."
Ling Yichen felt a jolt.
It seems there are quite a few stories behind this.
Immediately, he didn't stand on ceremony and put away the two Secret Art manuals.
He just happened to be lacking a powerful offensive Secret Art.
The old man then added, "You don't need to worry about the Lin Family and the Lei Family. My senior brother and I will represent you to negotiate with them and help you solve these problems. You just focus on practicing!"
After finishing, he and Lu Yuan left with Yuan Qing.
Ling Yichen immediately took Ye Qingzhu and W and headed towards the hotel.
When they returned to the hotel, Tian Yingying's family and Tang Juan were extremely worried.
Seeing that Ye Qingzhu and W were both seriously injured, their expressions were even worse.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'll be better after a night's rest," Ye Qingzhu reassured them.
W glanced at Ling Yichen indifferently, then gave Ling Yichen an arrogant look and said, "I was injured because of you. From today on, you have to take good care of this young lady."
Ling Yichen smiled slightly, then performed a knight's salute and said, "As you command, my young lady!"
Their banter actually eased everyone's mood.
After the adults exchanged routine pleasantries, they each returned to their rooms, leaving only the four young people in the living room.
Before long, the three from the Yan Family also left, as it was time for the shift change.
The person relieving them was a young man from the military, and his appearance made the eyes of the few young people light up.
Because this person was nearly two meters tall, with deep facial contours, and like W, was of mixed heritage, with brown hair and green eyes, quite handsome and tall.
The three girls were all at the age of budding romance, and seeing him suddenly, they couldn't take their eyes off him, including Ye Qingzhu.
This made Ling Yichen feel a sense of crisis for no reason.
However, he quickly resolved the crisis because... he found an opportunity to shake his hand and directly parasitized an Intelligence Worm into his body.
This person's strength had also reached B-Rank, but like Lin Cong, it was only B-Rank Lower-tier.
To complete the parasitization without being discovered, he decided to use the Intelligence Worm.
After successfully parasitizing him, Ling Yichen didn't take him seriously anymore.
If this brat really dared to poach his girl, he wouldn't mind turning him into a pile of bones.
Anyway, the gains from killing a B-Rank Expert were enough to tempt him.
After completing the parasitization, Ling Yichen chatted with the girls for a while longer before returning to his room.
After returning to his room, Ling Yichen immediately summarized tonight's battle.
"My strength should be around B-Rank Mid-tier now. If I fight with my life on the line, I can even fight a B-Rank Upper-tier!"
'For B-Rank Lower-tier people, the Intelligence Worm can parasitise them without leaving a trace!'
"Xu Tiansheng's strength should be B-Rank Upper-tier!"
"W, when unsealed, can also reach B-Rank Upper-tier, but the duration is very short, about 2 minutes!"
"Lin Hong is B-Rank Peak, only one step away from A-Rank."
"The gap between B-Rank Peak and B-Rank Upper-tier is at least five to ten times!"
"Similarly, the gap between B-Rank Lower-tier, Mid-tier, and Upper-tier is just as large!"
"It really is a world of difference for just a small realm; the further you go, the more important every step is."
Thinking this, he immediately took out the "Dragon Capturing Nine Desolations," "Word Spirit Art," "Divine Movement Technique," and that stone box from his Storage Ring!
Tonight, he had already witnessed the power of the Dragon Capturing Nine Desolations.
With just physical strength, it could have such powerful destructive force; this Dragon Capturing Nine Desolations was worthy of being the number one physical training Secret Art in the Human Realm.
Ling Yichen had decided to practice this Dragon Capturing Nine Desolations well.
As for the Word Spirit Art and Divine Movement Technique, Ling Yichen didn't underestimate them either.
Since they were Secret Arts of the Yan Family and the Xu Family, they naturally had their extraordinary aspects.
So he didn't intend to put them aside and would learn them all together.
Finally, he locked his gaze on that stone box.
This was the thing he was most concerned about.
This stone box gave him a very strange feeling; it was a call from the depths of his soul.
He picked up the stone box and examined it carefully.
The stone box was not big, about the size of an eyeglass case, and there was no energy fluctuation when he held it, but he could sense that there was an extremely weak life form inside the stone box.
He carefully pried at the lid of the stone box, but the lid did not loosen; instead, it stirred up a wave of energy.
He saw a faint light pattern flickering on the stone box, the light flowing.
This should be a restriction to prevent others from opening the stone box at will.
However, Ling Yichen had a sudden flash of inspiration.
With a thought, an Intelligence Worm appeared in his hand, then crawled onto the stone box and began to devour the light pattern.
Sure enough, the light pattern could be devoured.
Moreover, after the Intelligence Worm devoured this light pattern, its body began to emit a soft light, its aura increased to a certain extent, and there was a faint trend of evolving towards a King Insect.
Unfortunately, there was only one light pattern, and it was very old, with too much energy dissipated.
If it were a complete light pattern that hadn't dissipated, it would most likely have allowed this Intelligence Worm to evolve into a King Insect.
As the light pattern was devoured, the stone box lost its restriction, and Ling Yichen reached out and pried the stone box again.
In an instant, the lid of the stone box loosened, revealing a crack.
Ling Yichen only felt an extremely ancient aura rushing towards him.
However, the next second, Ling Yichen suddenly sensed an unprecedented danger.
He instinctively retreated and dodged.
Sure enough, he saw a golden light flash from the crack in the stone box, shooting directly onto the wall behind him, and the wall instantly cracked with countless fissures.
Ling Yichen looked up and immediately saw an insect cocoon the size of an index finger joint appearing on the wall!
He couldn't help but gasp; just a cocoon had such great power?
He was also inexplicably shocked.
He hurriedly opened the stone box and immediately saw an insect the size of an index finger joint lying inside.
The insect was golden all over, as if cast from gold, with six legs on its abdomen and long antennae on its head.
Other than that, it was no different from a caterpillar as a whole.
"Is this little guy just hatched?"
Ling Yichen was a bit surprised.
Ling Yichen didn't dare to move it rashly because he could feel the power of this little caterpillar.
Even though it had just hatched, it felt quite dangerous to Ling Yichen.
However, amidst the danger, there was an attraction of the same origin, as if it and he were meant to be one.
