314: Chapter 314 Special Physique

Su Yingxue looked at their embarrassed expressions and couldn't help but laugh.

The others laughed as well.

Laughter echoed through the living room—kind, warm, and completely devoid of malice.

Seeing that the teasing had gone on long enough, Lin Yun spoke up with a smile to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, that's enough joking for now. It's time for us to set off and return to Qilin Planet."

Everyone packed up and boarded the spaceship.

The spaceship first flew back to Qilin Planet to pick up the children from home.

The maids carried the little ones and held the older ones by the hand, lining up to board the ship.

Qianye and Lu Shan stood by the observation window, watching the children with mixed feelings.

The spaceship entered the Dark Universe, heading toward the Lingyuan Secret Realm.

Outside the window, the seven-colored light of the Dark Universe flowed by.

The children pressed themselves against the observation window, mesmerized by the sight.

Qianye looked at the children, then back at Lin Yun, an indescribable emotion stirring in her heart.

Lu Shan was also watching Lin Yun.

Her gaze followed him as he walked back and forth through the crowd, kissing one child and saying a few words to another.

There was a smile on his face and a light in his eyes.

Noticing Lu Shan's gaze, Qianye used her Divine Thought to ask her: "Shanshan, what are you looking at?"

Lu Shan was startled and quickly withdrew her gaze: "Nothing."

Qianye said: "You can't lie to me."

Lu Shan was silent for a moment, then said: "Sister Qianye, what do you think of... Lin Yun as a person?"

Qianye thought for a moment: "Very strong, very talented, good to his wives, and good to his children. It's just... he's too promiscuous."

Lu Shan hesitated before saying: "He has the Fertility Holy Body, so his promiscuity is inevitable."

Qianye glanced at her: "You certainly know how to speak up for him."

Lu Shan blushed and fell silent.

Qianye didn't ask any further.

She looked out at the Dark Universe, the seven-colored light swirling in her pupils.

Those images surfaced in her mind once again.

They seemed etched into her memory, impossible to forget.

She sighed to herself, thinking, 'It's over now.'

...

Three days later, the spaceship emerged from the Dark Universe and arrived at the entrance to the Lingyuan Secret Realm.

That massive rift stretched across the Void Realm, deep and dark, like a scar on the Universe.

In front of the rift, ten artificial planets still floated silently.

Lin Yun did not fly directly in like last time.

Instead, he switched to an anti-gravity vehicle.

The anti-gravity vehicle drove into the rift.

Passing through the turbulent energy and that invisible membrane, their field of vision suddenly opened up.

They had arrived at the Lingyuan Secret Realm.

Lingyuan City was still bustling with traffic and lined with towering buildings.

The hustle and bustle of the past had not diminished in the slightest; it looked exactly the same as when they had left.

Yet, Lin Yun and his wives were sharp-minded and vaguely sensed an unusual restlessness in the city's atmosphere.

On both sides of the streets and inside and outside the shops, one could hear passersby discussing a major event everywhere.

Everyone was full of excitement and confidence, certain that this time, the Lingyuan Empire would no longer be firmly suppressed by the Tianlang Empire.

The reason for this was that among the ten geniuses representing the Empire in this competition, two of them possessed rare Special Physiques.

Qianye and Lu Shan, long accustomed to such scenes, took the initiative to explain the background to everyone.

Qianye said:

"Ten thousand years ago, a Secret Realm was discovered at the border between the two Empires."

"That Secret Realm was extremely valuable, posed little danger, and offered astonishing profits from its development."

"The two Empires clashed over the ownership of the Secret Realm, fighting several small-scale wars, but neither side won."

"Later, both sides sat down to negotiate and agreed to use a competition to determine ownership."

"Thus, the friendship tournament, held once every hundred years, was born."

Lu Shan added:

"The friendship tournament takes place every century, with both sides sending ten contestants to compete on the same stage."

"There are strict restrictions on the contestants; all must be under one hundred years of age."

With their explanations, Lin Yun's family gradually understood.

It turned out that the entire Alliance had 50 Empires.

In terms of overall national strength, the Tianlang Empire ranked in the top ten.

The Lingyuan Empire, however, was ranked outside the top forty, making the disparity clear.

In every tournament over the past ten thousand years, the Lingyuan side had almost always lost, long remaining suppressed by their opponent, which had become a source of regret for the people.

This year, two geniuses with Special Physiques had emerged domestically, which was why the public had shed their usual dejection and were filled with anticipation.

Bu Yaoguang was confused and couldn't help but ask.

"The Lingyuan Empire's territory is so vast and full of talent, why have they only selected two contestants with Special Physiques in a hundred years?"

Lu Shan smiled and explained the reason.

"It's not that the entire Empire only has two people with Special Physiques in a hundred years, but rather that the competition rules and growth patterns dictate this."

"The tournament is held every century. Many geniuses with Special Physiques are either already over one hundred years old, losing their eligibility,"

"or they are too young, and their Cultivation Foundation has not yet matured."

"Therefore, when selecting candidates, most will choose geniuses nearing one hundred years old."

"Martial arts cultivation, Cultivation Technique, Combat Technique, and Movement Technique and Secret Technique all require time to settle. Martial Artists in this age group have the most solid and balanced overall strength."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it really did make sense.

As they were talking, the discussions of passersby drifted into their ears again.

Qianye and Lu Shan heard them clearly, their eyes gradually brightening, and their tone carried more anticipation.

The two geniuses discussed by the passersby possessed the Sword Origin Physique and the Ice Phoenix Divine Physique, respectively.

These two Physiques were far superior in grade to ordinary Special Physiques and possessed unparalleled power.

Especially the Ice Phoenix Divine Physique; one might not be born even in tens of thousands of years, so its rarity could be imagined.

"It seems that this time, our Lingyuan really has a chance to turn things around," Lu Shan sighed softly.

Qianye nodded: "Indeed, a Special Physique that appears once in tens of thousands of years—we've actually encountered one."

Su Yingxue became interested and quickly asked: "I wonder if there are any public images of these two geniuses? We would like to see them for ourselves."

Everyone immediately checked their optical computers, carefully searching through the entire virtual network.

But after searching back and forth for a long time, they couldn't find even a trace of relevant images or portraits.

Seeing this, Qianye explained: "According to past practice, the relevant information and images of the contestants are only released uniformly when the tournament is about to begin. It shouldn't be searchable right now."

Everyone had no choice but to give up. Su Yingxue looked a bit disappointed, then changed the subject.

"Lingyuan City has a deep heritage; there must be quite a few other geniuses with Special Physiques in the city, right?"

"That's natural," Lu Shan nodded repeatedly. "Not only is there a steady stream of geniuses in the younger generation, but many veteran powerhouses who guard their respective territories were also born with Special Physiques."

She began to introduce them one by one, as if counting her family treasures.

Take her ancestor, King Blood Axe, for example.

Possessing the War Abyss Physique, his Physical Body is formidable, combining offense and defense, and he strikes fear across the entire Star Domain.

And King Feiyun, who is as famous as King Blood Axe, possesses the Ethereal Physique, with unpredictable Movement Technique that makes it hard to distinguish reality from illusion.
