“You…You can repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina?” After hesitating for a while, Liu Qingyan asked with a little surprise.

Looking at the girl's pure and beautiful face, Lin Xun thought of all the girl had done before. He suddenly felt that he didn't have the heart to hide it from her.

In the end, he surrendered. Nodding his head, he knew that if he still kept hiding his identity, his conscience would keep smiting him.

Granny Wind coldly harrumphed, with a frosty expression. How dare this brat lie to them!

“Um… What about master Xun?” asked Liu Qingyan.

Lin Xun embarrassedly smiled and said, ”Actually, Master Xun is me.”

Liu Qingyan and Granny Wind were momentarily dumbstruck. How was it possible? Master Xun was Lin Xun in reality?

Both of them were deeply shocked by this reply. They'd never thought that not only did Lin Xun knew how to repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, but he was the so-called “Master Xun” himself!

This was really so incredible!

Who was the so-called Master Xun? He was said to be a mysterious man who could refine the spirit treasures and had already gained a worldwide reputation. And now, this Lin Xun in front of them was just a teenager. It was difficult to put the two people together.

After all, no one would have ever imagined that the famous Master Xun, in fact, was just a young teenager.

“It can't be!”

Granny Wind frowned,”You're still wet behind the ears! How can you refine a spirit treasure, such a peerless artifact?”

It was also hard for Liu Qingyan to accept it. In her impression, those great spiritual tattooists were all people who were very, very old. However, how old was Lin Xun? How could he have such superb achievements in spiritual tattoos?

Lin Xun was also surprised. He'd already admitted this, but now they didn't believe him. He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

Granny Wind looked at Shue Jin, “Is it true?”

Shue Jin acknowledged with a smile, ”I think it is.”

Confirmed by Shue Jin, Granny Wind and Liu Qingyan finally believed that Lin Xun was not lying. However, when they really thought about it, they were still a little dazed.

They didn't see it.

They really didn't see it at all.

“But why would you hide it before?”

Granny Wind stared at Lin Xun as if she was looking at a strange monster.

“Laying low.”

Lin Xun said with reluctance, “After all, I'm too young. Once this thing is spread out, it will cause a storm.”

Granny Wind thought for a second and understood his meaning immediately. Surely, just a few seconds before when she had gotten this news, she was also shocked. She couldn't believe it either. It could be predicted that if this news was made public, what a terrible storm there would be!

As far as Granny Wind knew, teenager spiritual tattooists with superb abilities like Lin Xun, once their identities were disclosed, they would undoubtedly draw every major force's attention in this empire. At that moment, there would be endless storms and turbulences, which would only bring harm rather than good to Lin Xun.

However, although she understood it, the moment she confirmed Lin Xun could refine the spirit treasure, such a peerless thing, at this age, the shock in her mind was indelible.

“You are unexpectedly amazing, Lin!”

Liu Qingyan's eyes lit up with curiosity. In the beginning, she was just taking Lin Xun as an incredible genius in cultivation. However, who would have thought that Lin Xun actually had another prominent identity, and this one amazed them all.

Something even more incredible was that she hadn't ever thought that Lin Xun could repair Ancient-rhythm Ocarina at his age. Even in the whole empire, few could do it, let alone those younger spiritual tattoo masters.

“OK, now that we know each other, this is the end of this matter. Next, I'll urge this guy to help you repair Ancient-rhythm Ocarina a bit faster. I promise that we won't let you down.”

Shue Jin felt the weird atmosphere, so he spoke to lighten the mood.

“Yes, this thing will be settled within three days.”

Lin Xun nodded, “Also, please keep this secrets among us four. After all, once this matter spreads out…”

Liu Qingyan blinked her eyes and smiled, ”Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Childe Lin. I know best what it's like to be famous.”

Lin Xun smiled, too, ”I know Yan'er is the most considerate.”

“Humph!”

Granny Wind didn't want to watch anymore. Glancing at Liu Qingyan coldly, she said, ”Miss, your injury needs immediate treatment. Now that the matter is settled, let's go back.”

Saying this, with a tone of authority, she took Liu Qingyan away.

“Childe Lin, we leave Ancient-rhythm Ocarina to you. I'll pick it up myself in three days.” Liu Qingyan showed a helpless look to Lin Xun, then she was forcibly dragged away by Granny Wind.

“Consider it done!” Lin Xun waved.

After Granny Wind and Liu Qingyan's figures disappeared from their view, Shue Jin said with surprise, “I can't believe it! You've just gotten rid of your heart devils, and now you're flirting with a girl, you bastard!”

Lin Xun said, a little annoyed, ”Why does everything sound bad when coming out of your mouth? You don't know anything about women, Jin.”

Shue Jin smiled coldly, ”Sure, I don't know about women, but I know that if you try to tempt that girl, that crazy woman will castrate you immediately!”

Finished with his warning, Shue Jin turned and walked to the corner, holding the wine jar and going to sleep.

Lin Xun smiled while looking up at the sky. His face showed a look of relief as if he had just survived a disaster.

It was about dawn. This thrilling, dangerous night was eventually overcome…

Three days later.

Lin Xun repaired the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. However, the person who came to take it was not Liu Qingyan, but Granny Wind.

Before leaving, Granny Wind asked Lin Xun calmly, “Remember the first time you saw Yan'er, what did I tell you?”

Lin Xun smiled, ”Sure.”

How could he forget it? At that time, Granny Wind had made it clear that with her present status, Liu Qingyan was someone whom Lin Xun couldn't match. He'd better keep his distance with her so as not to be burnt.

However, back at the farm, frankly speaking, Lin Xun didn't have any thought to pursue Liu Qingyan. All the thing was just Granny Wind`s imagination. She was concerned about Liu Qingyan too much.

In Lin's view, Liu Qingyan was an exceptional girl who was not only beautiful, smart, and intelligent, but also kind. She was a good person whom he appreciated very much and was willing to make friends with.

Lin Xun was not sure whether he would like Liu Qingyan afterward. However, now, he was convinced that he didn't have a strong desire to pursue her.

“I hope you'd better remember it. Before leaving, I don't mind telling you that she is the same as you. Except for being an artistic practitioner, Yan'er also has other identities. She is extraordinary, and not someone everyone can pursue.”

Granny Wind looked at Lin Xun deeply. After leaving these words, she breezed away.

Lin Xun was dazed for a while, feeling helpless. In his mind, he was muttering, “I am not even fifteen years old. Is it necessary to be so alert toward me?”

At the same time, he felt a sudden sense of loss. According to what Granny Wind said, she was about to leave with Liu Qingyan today. He did not know when he would meet Liu Qingyan again, or whether they would meet again in the future.

Thinking like this, Lin Xun felt some regret. Had he knew all this, he would have promised Chu Feng that he would attend Keystone Business's celebration before. If he could listen to beautiful music from Liu Qingyan, it would be a good memory worth recalling.

“Flying time, flying time; Persuade thy to have another glass of wine. High as heaven, deep as earth. I don't know the immensity of the universe. I only feel the days pass and people get old, as the sun brings warmth and the moon returns cold. …”

In the courtyard, Shue Jin slapped his thighs as he drank, making a pleasant sound. What his rough and deep voice intoned exactly was the song of 'Flying Time' that had caused a sensation in the Mist City and spread all over the world.

After listening, Lin Xun could not help but praise, ”What a good Ci poem!”

Shue Jin said carelessly, “That girl Liu Qingyan sang it.”

Lin Xun was stunned for a second, feeling even more regret. That day, why hadn't he gone to attend that Keystone Business himself…

Four more days passed quietly.

Lin Xun entered the third stage of Green-cloud Path for the second time. This was the second chance to enter the pass, and it was very precious. However, compared to the first time, Lin xun was no longer afraid of it.

The previous time he made a breakthrough, he had fought 47 matches against other opponents from 47 different races in total and then withdrew because of the growth of the heart devils.

However, it was that yielding that gave Lin Xun the opportunity to face the heart devils, helping him erase the forty-seven shadows of death one by one.

Lin Xun's mastery of the RFS (Reaching for the Stars) was advancing rapidly. For now, he had reached the Accuracy of the realm of Martial Tao. He had learned a lot from all his opponents and mastered their versions of RFS. He was only one step away from the point of perfection!

Meanwhile, experiencing this near-death encounter, his state of mind also thoroughly remolded itself. Even if the heart devils invaded again, he would never be as passive and powerless as the first time. This was undoubtedly the most critical transformation.

It didn't take a long time before the trials began. The familiar Viper Clan came out first. Without any hesitation, Lin Xun threw himself in the fighting!

The battle that followed could be described as overwhelming. Fights began one after another and ended with Lin Xun's win again and again.

In the 48th battle, Lin Xun was welcomed by a strange and mysterious enemy. The RFS (Reaching for the Stars) style he put to use was the one Lin Xun was also completely unfamiliar with.

And in result…

Lin Xun still won!

It was not that the opponent was weak but that Lin xun had already mastered the secrets of RFS (Reaching for the Stars) from the former forty-seven foes. With it, his RFS (Reaching for the Stars) became powerful.

As time went by, the battles were staged one by one, and Lin Xun, just like an invincible general, killed his opponents continuously, invincible and unrivaled.

The only problem was that as the fighting ensued, the mysterious adversaries became stronger and stronger. The RFS (Reaching for the Stars) they used also became more and more powerful. The pressure they exerted on Lin Xun increased.

In the 90th battle, Lin Xun met an extremely tough challenger, and the struggle finally ended up in a mutually destructive manner.

When it came to the 91st battle, Lin tried his best, but he eventually lost. He was killed on the spot. Once again, he felt the fear of death.

However, all these did not pose much threat to Lin Xun. His state of mind was not as fragile as before the first time he entered The Secret Realm of Hundred Battles.

Most important of all, the challenge would continue even if he lost. As long as you insisted on completing 100 battles, you would be able to pass the trial smoothly!

However, when it came to the 100th battle, Lin Xun chose to give up again. It was not the heart devils that made him admit defeat, but he remembered that if he passed like this, he would only be regarded as “pass”, and he wouldn't get any awards.

If he wanted an award, he must do one thing: win a hundred battles!

For now, Lin Xun still had one last chance to enter The Secret Realm of Hundred Battles. To get the prize that came from Heaven-accessing Place, he gave up this challenge very decisively.
