Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 496 Return to Shengdan City, Competition
Zhongzhou Danyu, Shengdan City.

On a mountain outside the city, a space crack quietly appeared, and two figures slowly walked out of the crack.

"Danta, you're finally back!"

Looking at the black tower that pierced the sky in the distance, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a feeling of being in another world emerged in his heart.

Counting the time, more than two years have passed since he last left Danta.

Although this period of traveling was not long, it was just a period of deep retreat for the strong men, but for Lin Yuan, who had experienced a lot, it was of great significance.

He and the people around him have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The remains of the Saint of Creation, the Wild Beast Territory, the shores of the East China Sea, the Northwestern Continent, the Beichen Wilderness, the Canaan Academy, the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, the Tianhuang City, the Void Dragon Island, the Nether Snake Mountains... In two years, the group's footprints have covered almost half of the continent.

In most of these places, some interesting things happened and considerable gains were made, which not only greatly improved the group's strength, but also rapidly expanded the power they controlled.

Today, Lin Yuan, whether openly or secretly, has the power to shake Zhongzhou.

"Sir, Shengdan City seems to be very lively today!"

The girl's voice, as clear as a silver bell, rang in Lin Yuan's ears, awakening him from his faint memories.

Lin Yuan turned around and saw the girl's eyes full of emotions. He, who knew Qing Lin very well, immediately understood - yes! He and Qing Lin had not been alone like this for a long time. Although the latter was always gentle and considerate, she was also a young girl!

Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips. He took the girl's hand and walked slowly towards Shengdan City.

"Qing'er, let's go and visit Shengdan City..."

Although the two were walking, their steps were mysterious, as if they were traveling through space, or as if they had the ability to shrink the distance into an inch. Every step they took could cover a distance of hundreds of meters.

The surrounding scenery changed like a kaleidoscope of movement. The two of them flashed and soon arrived in the city.

Walking on the main road of Saint-Denis City, the shops on both sides are filled with a wide variety of goods, the bustling crowds come and go, and waves of sound spread out.

"At this time, it's obviously not the time for the Alchemy Conference yet... there's still three years left, so why are there so many people gathered now?" Looking at the surging and shoulder-to-shoulder scene in front of him, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and he murmured in a low voice.

After thinking for a moment, Qing Lin tilted his head and said uncertainly: "Let me think, at this time... are they here to watch the 'Tianjiao Competition'?"

She had been back to Saint Dan City once before and was more familiar with the situation here.

"Tianjiao Competition?" Hearing this familiar name, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Qing'er, what is that?"

"This is the Central Region Youth Competition that started last year and is tentatively scheduled to be held once a year!" Qing Lin explained, and then blinked his smart eyes again, wondering: "But the scale of the last competition was not large. Could it be that Danta has increased its support for the event?"

(I'll say this in advance: the protagonist will not participate in this level of competition)
It was precisely because the scale of the last event was not large that she did not specifically inform Lin Yuan of the matter in detail when she was synchronizing the Central Plains intelligence with him.

Competitions like this are currently held in all regions of Zhongzhou and are not particularly rare.

However, the scale of Shengdan City this time is obviously much larger than before... This would never have been possible without the strong support of Danta!

"I see!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, pulling Qing Lin towards a shop, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relaxed smile: "Don't think too much, I will visit the three presidents later anyway, and I will know when I ask them." "As for you and me, today, let's relax and enjoy this rare leisure time!"

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Qinglin's hand, a hint of doting in his eyes.

Qing Lin nodded heavily when she heard that, "Yes!" Holding Lin Yuan's hand, the girl's lips curled up slightly, and there was a little more tenderness in her eyes.

What she pursued in her heart was such a simple thing...
-
Outer Realm…Inner Realm…The two of them strolled leisurely, and finally after half a day, they arrived under the huge black tower in the center.

"Haha, Danta, we're here! Disperse!" Looking at the heavily guarded black giant tower ahead, Lin Yuan chuckled, then waved his hand, dispersing the soul power that enveloped himself and Qinglin and concealed the two of them.

The presence of the two people was like a bright light in the dark night, and in an instant, it suddenly became stronger.

"That is... Lord Yaojun?"

"Master Yaojun? Where is he? It's really Master Yaojun!!"

"Let me take a look..."

Just as the entrance of Danta was becoming increasingly noisy, the space in front of Lin Yuan slightly distorted. The next moment, the figure of an old man emerged in the center of the distorted space.

The old man was wearing a plain robe, his hair and beard were all white, but his face was ruddy and he looked energetic. It was Xuan Kongzi who had not been seen for a long time.

"Lin boy, you finally decided to come back!"

Looking at the young man whom he had not seen for several years, Xuan Kongzi shook his head helplessly, with a hint of emotion in his voice.

This little guy is clearly Danta's confirmed future commander, but up to now, he has not even stayed in Danta for a year, but has been away for several years.

"Long time no see, Master Xuan!" Lin Yuan clasped his fists and bowed, saying respectfully.

He still had great respect for this old man in Danta who had always been optimistic about him and cooperated with him.

"Hey, you kid... Hey, a fifth-level Dou Zun?" Xuan Kongzi was about to say something, but when he sensed the strength of Lin Yuan's aura, he was stunned. "Lin Yuan kid, what kind of magic pill did you eat?"

It had only been a short time, but Lin Yuan had actually leaped to the fifth level of Dou Zun. This speed of promotion was almost like skipping a grade, which surprised Xuan Kongzi.

You know, in just two years, most Dou Zun may not be able to improve their cultivation by one star...

However, when he noticed Qing Lin standing beside him, even though he had seen a lot of ups and downs in life and was as calm as a mountain, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and his expression instantly became interesting.

Xuan Kongzi had seen this kind of ups and downs of aura from Yao Chen before... This was the state he had been dreaming of, of reaching the bottleneck of the Saint Realm, after years of hard practice!
It's only been a few years, and this Dou Zun girl is about to break through to the Saint Realm? !

Feeling the many passionate gazes gathering around him, Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Master Xuan, let's go into the tower and talk. It's not good to block the way at the door! It just so happens that I have a gift for you, too."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xuan Kongzi came back to his senses, patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes... Let's go into the tower and talk. I also have something to discuss with you!"

As soon as the voice fell, the space shook slightly, and the figures of the three people disappeared instantly...
