The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1665: Growing Wings
"Would you mind lending a hand, little Ke'er?"

Huangfu Jing pondered for three or four seconds.

He did not directly answer Lin Ke'er's question.

Instead, he made a seemingly unrelated suggestion.

"To lend a hand" is a more polite way of saying it.

The crude way to put it is to fight.

Let's have a friendly competition.

Let's find out what's going on.

Of course, Lin Ke'er is not someone who can be easily manipulated.

Huangfu Jing's suggestion was certainly correct.

But just because it's true doesn't mean she'll agree.

He asked with a half-smile, "What's in it for me?"

"Hmm... perhaps I can take the initiative and unilaterally lower the price?"

Huangfu Jing smiled helplessly.

It seems like a joke.

But he actually responded very seriously.

However, this benefit was not enough to make Lin Ke'er and Huangfu Jing work together.

Huangfu Jing herself was aware of this.

Therefore, after stating this substantial cost, Huangfu Jing changed the subject again, saying in goodwill, "Besides, we can also become friends. I believe the Lin clan would certainly not mind becoming friends with our Huangfu clan. It is said that no one becomes friends without a fight. Many conflicts are simply the result of misunderstandings that have not been properly resolved. Whether it is a conflict or a misunderstanding depends on the definition of both parties!"

"You've successfully convinced me."

"That was indeed a very appealing answer to me."

“A cousin of mine once said that we should make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible, and I wholeheartedly agree with that.”

"But are you sure you want to fight me here?"

"I feel it's necessary for me to explain this to you."

"Sister Han can't beat me."

Lin Ke'er's gaze gradually sharpened.

He put away that gentle and lively expression.

The coldness climbed up his double pupils.

Even though Huangfu Jing had already begun to build up her psychological defenses, seeing those eyes still sent a chill down her spine. An inexplicable feeling pressed down on her heart, seemingly sealing her fate in this battle.

However, Huangfu Jing never believed in fate.

Including but not limited to her.

Looking at the world, most martial artists do not believe in fate.

To follow the will of Heaven is to be mediocre.

To go against the will of Heaven is to be extraordinary.

Just like a martial artist's aptitude, many people may think that aptitude is unchangeable. But for Huangfu Jing, who comes from a prestigious family, it's just that she can't get a treasure that can change her aptitude. It doesn't mean that her aptitude is unchangeable. In fact, some super sects have techniques that can improve one's physical constitution. Compared to treasures that can only be used once or a few times, these techniques that anyone can learn are undoubtedly more valuable.

Therefore, nothing in this world is absolutely impossible.

It's just that many people's understanding doesn't reach that level.

Therefore, Huangfu Jing only paused for a moment.

It's also about stabilizing one's mindset.

Rebuild psychological defenses.

It returned to normal after two or three seconds.

He smiled calmly, "Just because Ling Han can't beat you doesn't mean I can't beat you either. Although Ling Han and I are roughly equal in cultivation level and combat ability, our fighting styles are completely different. Underestimating your opponent before a battle is not a good habit..."

Lin Linghan looked at the exceptionally confident Huangfu Jing and couldn't help but lower her head slightly.

Not afraid.

It would be impolite to laugh out loud at this moment.

Huangfu Jing's statement is certainly partly correct.

Their abilities are indeed about the same.

After all, at their level, it's already very difficult to create a significant gap; it really depends on their performance on the day and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

In this respect, she undoubtedly has an advantage after two years of special training.

But let's not even mention that Lin Ke'er also underwent special training.

Her combat skills are no less than hers.

Just considering Lin Ke'er's strength, it's enough to bridge this small gap.

To put it bluntly, the goal is to use tactics to counter and win.

It might be possible for someone else.

But that's unlikely to happen to Lin Ke'er.

The same reason.

The same would be true for Lin Chaoci, Lin Langtian, Lin Qingtan, and Lin Dong, who are not present at the moment. These people are all well-rounded, practically all-around warriors. Perhaps they don't have any particularly outstanding strengths, but they also don't have any weaknesses that can be exploited. Once they gain an advantage, it will be extremely difficult for their opponents to turn the tide, and it will be something that cannot be done by ordinary means.

Once the extraordinary phenomenon is unleashed, its power is unpredictable.

The title of "Invincible in the Same Realm" is not just for show.

As an outsider, Huangfu Jing might not know this.

But Lin Linghan, who had witnessed the strange phenomenon firsthand and even been thoroughly defeated, knew all too well that as long as Lin Ke'er didn't hold back, Huangfu Jing wouldn't even be able to gain a temporary advantage, let alone win.

However, Huangfu Jing wouldn't believe it if I said these things now.

Huangfu Jing at this moment is just like those cousins ​​who joined the ranks of geniuses for the first time and received special training. It can be said that every single one of them was unruly and thought that Lin Chaoci and others were nothing special. Instead, they admired geniuses like her who had a good reputation and took them as their role models. It wasn't until they were thoroughly beaten by Lin Chaoci and others that these cousins ​​who thought they were the most important people in the world could realize their own position, understand what a true genius is like, or rather, what level they had to reach to be called a genius and have the potential to compete with anyone.

In the current sequence of prodigies.

Based on different practical rules and restrictions, it is divided into five levels.

The first tier consists of the most ordinary geniuses.

It is possible to overcome a small gap in skill level and defeat an opponent.

For example, someone in the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm can defeat someone in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan realm.

For example, a minor mastery of form can defeat a major mastery of form.

The second level is being able to overcome two major realms and defeat opponents.

For example, an early-stage Earthly Realm cultivator fighting a late-stage Earthly Realm cultivator. Or, an early-stage Heavenly Realm cultivator fighting a late-stage Heavenly Realm cultivator.

The third level is about crossing a whole new realm.

She's currently at that level.

Huangfu Jing was the same.

In other words, don't be fooled by the fact that they are all in the realm of modeling now.

In fact, they are fully capable of defeating martial artists at the Lesser Completion of the Qi Creation Realm.

The fourth tier is people like Lin Ke'er.

Able to fight across two major realms.

In other words, based on the Tianyuan Realm, she successively crossed the Yuandan Realm and the Zaoxing Realm, and could fight against ordinary Qi Creation Realm martial artists. In addition, Lin Ke'er currently possesses two extraordinary phenomena. Although in the Lin Clan's classification, these can only be considered as primary extraordinary phenomena, with Lin Qingtan representing intermediate extraordinary phenomena and Lin Chaoci, the creator of advanced extraordinary phenomena, representing advanced extraordinary phenomena, as well as the extraordinary phenomena condensed by Lin Langtian and Lin Dong, they are all primary. This is inextricably linked to a person's experience and accumulation, but the addition of two extraordinary phenomena still allows Lin Ke'er to rival martial artists who have reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Creation Realm. She still has the advantage against Huangfu Jing and her, which is why she dares to be so confident.

As for the fifth tier, it is Lin Chaoci.

It's worth mentioning that Lin Qingtan also stepped in with one foot in.

That is, crossing two major realms or more.

Based on Lin Chaoci's current cultivation level of Yuan Dan Realm, the next step up is the Creation Realm, and the next step up is the Creation Qi Realm. Although it is uncertain whether Lin Chaoci can match the Nirvana Realm experts, he can easily defeat ordinary Creation Realm martial artists. Although Lin Qingtan's realm is not as high as Lin Chaoci's, she is currently only at the Earth Origin Realm because she is still too young, only nine years old. However, as an Earth Origin Realm martial artist, she can already cross the Heaven Origin Realm, Yuan Dan Realm and half of the Creation Realm, and contend with the Creation Qi Realm martial artists.

The reason it is said to be half.

The main reason is that martial artists in the Form Creation Realm can fly.

You can use elemental energy to construct shapes.

For example, build a pair of wings on the back.

Or perhaps, a Yuan Power Eagle will be constructed beneath one's feet.

Facing an opponent that can fly.

Lin Qingtan was indeed no match for him.

But if a martial artist in the Shaping Realm doesn't fly...

Normal combat.

Lin Qingtan can wear down her opponent little by little.

They can also contend with martial artists at the Qi Creation Realm.

Therefore, although Lin Qingtan's potential is higher than that of Lin Langtian and others, it is not by much.

Let's assume a normal martial artist's combat strength is one.

The first tier is number two.

The second tier is five.

The third tier is ten.

The fourth tier jumps directly to one hundred.

The fifth tier is above one hundred.

As for what constitutes "above one hundred," those in the know understand. Someone like Lin Qingtan, who has reached one hundred and thirty, is considered above one hundred. Someone like Lin Chaoci, who has reached ten or twenty thousand, is also considered above one hundred. But no matter what, it's impossible for Huangfu Jing to defeat Lin Ke'er. It's just a matter of how many moves Lin Ke'er needs to finish the fight. Lin Linghan, who has personally verified Lin Ke'er's strength, is absolutely certain of this.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as she expected.

Of course, Lin Chaoci didn't care much about these details.

Even the outcome wouldn't make him care too much.

Just like how the Huangfu clan could threaten the Lin clan.

But it doesn't pose a threat to him.

Even a powerful force like the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

It may not even pose a threat to him.

Because he possessed the remains of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix—two Dou Sheng corpses he had transformed into puppets—while their strength didn't quite reach the level of a Reincarnation Realm expert—since Reincarnation Realm experts were equivalent to Dou Sheng of seven stars or higher—and martial artists in the Martial Universe were generally stronger than their counterparts in the Battle Through the Heavens, there were trade-offs. Martial Universe martial artists also generally had shorter lifespans than their counterparts in the Battle Through the Heavens. Therefore, Dou Sheng arriving in the Martial Universe couldn't directly transform into Reincarnation Realm experts; instead, they would be considered Reincarnation Realm experts. While not the most outstanding beings of the era, a Transcendent Realm expert is by no means an ant found everywhere on the roadside. Even among the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, a Transcendent Realm expert is guaranteed a position as a powerful elder. With good luck, they might even compete for the position of sect leader. They are guaranteed to enter the ranks of first-class experts. Even in the later stages, during the great war between Lin Dong and the alien demons, a Transcendent Realm expert can stand alone, have a name, and even influence the course of a war on a small scale. They are definitely not cannon fodder.

Therefore, even the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

When it is not necessary.

They would absolutely not provoke Lin Chaoci.

After all, there's a saying: "It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who's eyeing you." The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is a large and powerful organization, so there's no need for them to fight Lin Chaoci to the death. Lin Chaoci is the kind of person who has nothing to lose and is not afraid of those who have something to lose. With two Dou Sheng puppets, he can run all over the country and be nowhere to be found. But if they really target the cultivators of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, none of the cultivators below the Reincarnation Realm in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace will be able to leave. If cultivators in the Life and Death Profound Realm dare to go out on missions, it's no different from sending them to their deaths. The same goes for Nirvana Realm cultivators. No matter if they are in the First Yuan Nirvana or the Ninth Yuan Nirvana, even if they wield the Ancestral Symbol, they are useless in front of such powerful individuals with such a large difference in realm. Lin Chaoci has the patience to wait for the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace to show a weakness. At worst, he can deliberately let some of the entrapment traps go, or he can take a break after a period of surprise attack, so that the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace's vigilance and entrapment traps fail, and then he can come out of the mountains again and resume his old ways to launch a surprise attack.

The initiative has always been in Lin Chaoci's hands.

This is strategic deterrence.

Therefore, if Lady Huangfu truly doesn't know how to appreciate kindness.

They insisted on starting a war with the Lin clan.

So, even though Lin Chaoci won't show up, the Huangfu clan is likely to be wiped out by a passing dragon or phoenix.

As for the suspicions of other forces...

That's obviously nonsense.

The logic doesn't make sense.

Those in power in other factions should ask themselves honestly. To put it bluntly, if the Lin clan truly possessed such a trump card, the Great Yan Dynasty would no longer have eight major powers, including the Mo royal family, who would have to abdicate or be purged without even having to abdicate. So-called justice is entirely based on overwhelming strength. Before possessing the power to sweep away everything, justice is indeed justified, but once one has the power to sweep away everything, the tone changes to "I don't eat beef"—that's human nature.

In this way, even the doubts are washed away.

There's no need to worry too much.

Moreover, if that prodigy from the Huangfu clan who went out is truly close to the Huangfu clan, the Huangfu clan will not be confined to the low-level Great Yan Dynasty. Even if they do not relocate the entire clan to a super or high-level dynasty, even if there is a strong attachment to their homeland, transforming the Huangfu clan from one of the eight major powers into a new royal family that integrates the Great Yan Dynasty is not difficult. For the disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, it is just a matter of a word. There are plenty of people willing to help and become their lackeys.

To put it bluntly, even dogs need to compete.

Who has better work skills?

Those who are more likely to be selected and promoted will be more likely to be chosen.

The fact that the Huangfu clan has developed to its current state can only be attributed to the fact that the prodigy of the Huangfu clan did not pay enough attention to it, and this is undeniable.

of course.

Lin Chaoci's estimate was also correct.

The current head of the Huangfu clan, Huangfu Jing's grandmother, was originally a woman from a collateral branch of the clan. Her sister was also from a collateral branch. They were ordinary clan members like Lin Linghan, and before they rose to power, they were practically invisible. Just like Lin Dong didn't promote the Lin clan much after he grew up, since the clan couldn't nurture me, I won't promote the clan either. Bloodline can never bind a person. This is also why Lin Fan later passed the position of clan head to Lin Zhentian, so that the clan could benefit more.

Therefore, regardless of the outcome of these negotiations.

Lin Chaoci didn't care at all.

At most, I'll just listen to it as a story.

The premise is that the Huangfu family will not be aggressive or make exorbitant demands.
