Chapter 296: A Big Bet!

“Bam!”

A chunk granite the size of a basketball shattered into millions of pieces. Gravel splattered around like rain. Ling Yun had only lightly touched the granite.

Ling Yun smiled as he inspected the glistering back of his head. He felt no trace of pain.

Priest Compassionless would probably be at a disadvantage if I were to fight him with the Tiangang Demon Fist now that I am at the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique.

Tie Xiaohu was standing beside the Shichiyou herb after breaking through to the third minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly and stared at Ling Yun in disbelief.

“Big Brother Yun… are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why do I feel as though the moonlight is illuminating your whole being?”

It was now in the wee hours of the morning on the sixth of April. The moon hung in the sky and illuminated everything in its path, putting extra emphasis on Ling Yun.

The scene was akin to a personal concert of a superstar. All lights were off except for the one spotlight on top of him, highlighting his existence.

This was also an effect of advancing to the second major realm or the eighth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. The moonlight on Ling Yun’s body should not have been very obvious, but Tie Xiaohu managed to spot it.

Ling Yun nodded towards Tie Xiaohu. “You just broke through to the third minor realm. Good job! What you see is not the moonlight but the essence of the moon! When you advance to the second major realm, the essence of the moon naturally enters your body as you cultivate!”

In fact, it was more than the essence of the moon. Power from billions of stars above were entering Ling Yun’s body. Only Ling Yun himself could feel it at this point because Tie Xiaohu was still at a lower rank.

Tie Xiaohu was stunned. “Big Brother Yun, have you attained the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique?!”

Tie Xiaohu was happier for Ling Yun’s breakthrough than for his own. He asked excitedly, “Big Brother Yun, would this happen to me if I were to break through the second major realm as well?”

“That goes without saying!” Ling Yun chuckled.

Ling Yun told only half the story. While Tie Xiaohu had a physically strong body, he could only improve gradually through cultivation. Ling Yun, on the other hand, had the innate ability to absorb spiritual energy, which put him ahead. Tie Xiaohu would need at least half a year to catch up.

“Find a stone and try smashing it with all your might. See how much strength you have now.” Ling Yun instructed the frantic Tie Xiaohu.

Tie Xiaohu did just that with a random piece of stone the size of a red brick about seven to eight centimeters thick.

It broke into five pieces with a loud boom. While it wasn’t as impressive as Ling Yun’s attempt on that rock that was about twenty centimeters thick, it was definitely formidable in its own right. Any ordinary human being on the receiving end of that fist would have sustained a broken rib.

Ling Yun smiled approvingly. “Is your skin torn? Does it hurt?”

“My skin is slightly red but not cut. Erm… There is a slight pinch of pain!” Tie Xiaohu grinned as he inspected his hand.

“This result is exceptional. You will not feel any pain once you reach the fourth minor realm.” Ling Yun smirked.

“Big Brother Yun, when will you impart martial arts to me?” Tie Xiaohu asked Ling Yun. His eyes were filled with eagerness.

“Tie Xiaohu, you should only focus on the Stellar Condensation Technique now. I will impart internal skills, qinggong, martial arts of the fist and acupuncture sealing techniques once you reach the fourth minor realm. Let nature take its course…”

“We also need to make more ink to turn the rest of the amulet paper into talisman charms,” Ling Yun continued.

Ling Yun could now absorb twice as much spiritual energy now that he hit the second major realm. That also meant that he would need two hundred Spirit Forming Talismans instead of the previous one hundred to fully replenish his spiritual energy.

A Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell had been placed on the crater. There was no telling what could happen in it. It was best to be as prepared as he could.

“Alright! I will drain some dog blood.” Tie Xiaohu went into the house to fetch the pail with no more hesitation.

A ringtone filled the air. Ling Yun checked his phone and was startled to find Tang Meng calling him.

Why was Tang Meng calling him now? Ling Yun frowned slightly and picked up the phone immediately.

“Big Brother Yun, I am currently at the Triumph Nightclub. Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan want to see you!” Tang Meng went straight to the point.

“They want to see me? Whatever for?” Ling Yun’s eyebrows arched as a small smile played at the corner of his mouth.

“Big Brother Yun, they want to gamble big, but not with me. They want to gamble with you…” Tang Meng answered.

“They have come straight for the lion, eh? How high are their stakes?” Ling Yun asked with joy.

“They said that they will match your stakes. No limit!” Tang Meng smiled upon hearing the indifference in Ling Yun’s voice.

“Alright, which room are they in? I will be there soon,” Ling Yun replied straightforwardly.

“We will put aside making the talisman charms for now. Let’s go to the Triumph Nightclub. Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa wants to play high stakes bets with me!” Ling Yun told Tie Xiaohu.

“Big Brother Yun, is it convenient for me to follow you there?” Tie Xiaohu asked cautiously.

“Of course. They must know of our relationship and are prepared with some game in their mind. There is no need to hide our relationship. Follow me!” Ling Yun patted Tie Xiaohu’s shoulder in reassurance.

There was no need for Ling Yun to hide. He had taken Tie Xiaohu in as a younger brother publicly. Almost everyone from their school and the Green Dragon Sect would know about it by now. Xie Junyan would certainly know.

Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan’s influence in Qingshui City would also grant them access to the knowledge of the relationship between Ling Yun and Tang Meng, which was as apparent as the day.

Ling Yun and Tie Xiaohu locked up the mansion and left Mansion Number One in the Audi that Tie Xiaohu had bought.

“Big Brother Yun, does this mean that Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa are going to go against us?”

Ling Yun nodded lightly in the co-pilot seat. “The fight with Gou Junfa is only a matter of time. The puzzling part is why Xie Junyan is getting himself involved.”

“Big Brother Yun, did you know that Xie Junyan has been courting Lingyu since he started at Qingshui High?” Tie Xiaohu replied after some thought.

“I did hear something of that sort from Tang Meng. He was vague about it. Lingyu has never mentioned this to me before.” Ling Yun’s expression darkened as a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

His precious little sister possessed an immortal spiritual body. What qualifications did Xie Junyan have to court her?

“Big Brother Yun, how can you expect Lingyu to inform you of such issues,” Tie Xiaohu joked.

“Does Xie Junyan have a death wish? Sigh, forget it. I will ask him to give up this notion later,” Ling Yun announced after some thought.

The Triumph Nightclub was located in the bustling business district of the city center. It was one of Gou Liancheng’s establishments, not far from the main street.

At around twelve thirty in the morning, Tie Xiaohu parked his car in front of the magnificent Triumph Nightclub.

A doorman walked up towards them enthusiastically as they got out of the car. The doorman ushered them in after giving him the room number.

Ling Yun sized up the Triumph Nightclub’s surroundings and their staff unceremoniously as he walked. They found themselves in front of the room within a short period of time.

Ling Yun smiled lightly and stepped into the room with Tie Xiaohu following close behind.

There were more people than expected. Other than the sinister-looking Gou Junfa and the handsome Xie Junyan, they also saw Lu Chengtian, Pi Hezhi, Huang Mao and Li Lei, who had all been slapped by Ling Yun dozens of times previously.

A slightly plump and ruddy middle-aged man in his forties was also there. He gave off a vibe of someone clever and experienced.

Of course, Tang Meng was present as well. He having a conversation with the middle-aged man when Ling Yun came in. He stood up immediately.

“Big Brother Yun, why didn’t you give me a call when you arrived? I would’ve gone downstairs to bring you up.” Tang Meng addressed Ling Yun as “Big Brother Yun” directly without hiding anything.

“There was no need. I found the room fine,” Ling Yun replied casually.

Ling Yun’s gaze first fell onto the middle-aged man and then onto Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan.

The middle-aged man stood up and smiled politely at Ling Yun without a hint of superiority.

A shard of hatred flashed through Gou Junfa’s eyes but dissolved itself before anyone noticed. He stood up as well.

Xie Junyan was the calmest of all. He got up, walked directly towards Ling Yun and extended his right hand, welcoming Ling Yun. “I was right. Ling Yun is the most sensational figure in our school now. Thanks for coming here with just a call. Welcome, welcome!”
