Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 140 Gu Family Competition
When he returned to Linyue City, the east was already showing signs of daylight. Although he had not slept all night, Zhong Lin was not sleepy at all and was extremely excited.

Mysterious Ice Flower, Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow, "Spiritual Cold Sword Scripture"... This is tonight's harvest, which is truly enormous.

In the room, Zhong Lin sat cross-legged, circulating his internal energy towards the position of the Yinbai acupoint. After a moment, accompanied by a clear sound, he felt that the internal energy in his dantian became more condensed.

Zhong Lin also slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"The increase in the internal energy attribute has indeed brought many benefits. Even the speed of opening up the acupuncture points and meridians has increased. It seems that it won't be long before all three Yin meridians of the foot are opened up."

The fusion of gold and ice caused an inexplicable change in the internal energy, and the "Linghan Sword Sutra" appeared to be more mysterious than the simple "Feiling Sword Sutra".

Zhong Lin's heart was surging inside, and he stretched out his palms. As his palms expanded, the surrounding environment suddenly changed strangely. With the point where he was standing as the center, a white mist was spreading rapidly.

There was a faint glimmer of excitement in Zhong Lin's eyes. He felt that all the internal energy in his body was undergoing such a wonderful transformation, and he was deeply immersed in this wonderful feeling.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he finally woke up from this almost enjoyable environment. Only then did he realize that his internal energy had been consumed almost completely without him realizing it.

But after taking a look around, Zhong Lin was shocked.

The light mist had spread throughout the entire room. Everything within this area was covered with layers of thin ice, even the bed beneath him.

Zhong Lin's expression changed slightly, the internal energy in his body stopped radiating, this power was completely suppressed, and the cold air around him slowly began to dissipate.

Zhong Lin grinned and chuckled, his excitement evident in his words.

He took out a Dahuan Dan and swallowed it to quickly restore the energy in his Dantian.

Boom boom boom!
"Brother, it's time for breakfast."

Jiang Yuan's voice came from outside the door.

"coming."

Zhong Lin got up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and opened the door.

Jiang Yuan, who was waiting outside the door, suddenly felt a chill and shivered subconsciously.

"It's so cold."

He looked up and saw a white mist coming out of Zhong Lin's room, and was stunned.

"Brother, this..."

Zhong Lin casually said, "I tried some new techniques last night, and I'll be fine soon. Let's go and have dinner!"

Jiang Yuan closed her mouth and stopped asking questions. She had no right to ask about what her senior brother did.

The Gu family had a rich breakfast, and after breakfast the two began to stroll around.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the Gu family's martial arts training ground, where many of the Gu family's children were performing martial arts competitions on the stage.

"What a strong martial arts atmosphere! It's said that the Gu family made their fortune through martial arts, and the Linyue Escort Agency is spread throughout Dachen. It seems that the reputation is well-deserved." Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

The Gu family members on the martial arts field were only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they were all entry-level warriors, and the strongest among them had even reached the eighth-level Yi Jin realm.

Zhong Lin also nodded and said, "It's indeed good." A fourteen-year-old who has reached the eighth level of Yi Jin Realm is not bad even in the Jian Ding Sect.

With a flying kick, a member of the Gu family was kicked out of the ring, and the match ended with one of them winning.

"The next match is between Gu Feng and Gu Chen."

With a loud shout from the referee, a young boy as strong as a calf jumped onto the ring. From the other direction, a thin young man wearing green linen clothes walked towards them.

"Gu Chen? I didn't expect that he also signed up for the family competition? That's incredible."

"Tsk tsk, a former genius versus a current genius, it's going to be a good show to watch."

"What a bullshit former genius! In my opinion, his parents must have given him some kind of elixir when they were alive. Otherwise, how could his martial arts skills not improve at all after his parents died? It's because there are no more elixirs."

"I think so too. My father told me that if you want to practice martial arts, you have to eat more. Eating more will give you enough experience to practice martial arts. Look at us, each of us is strong and healthy, but Gu Chen is as thin as a chicken. He must have taken some strong medicine before and damaged his foundation. His purpose was to create the image of a genius, and now his true colors are exposed!"

Everyone in the crowd was talking at once, not hiding their sarcasm at all, and the thin young man Gu Chen, who was walking, heard it all. Anger welled up in his eyes, and his fists under his sackcloth were clenched tightly, with veins exposed.

On the stage, Gu Feng looked down at Gu Chen, who was almost half a head shorter than him, and taunted him, "Gu Chen? I didn't expect you to be willing to walk out of the courtyard. What? Are you here to prove yourself? Or do you also want to seize the Bone Cleansing Pill?"

Suddenly there was laughter from the crowd.

Gu Chen suppressed his anger and bowed to the family elder beside him, saying, "Elder, can we begin?"

The elder also looked at Gu Chen with a complicated expression, sighed in his heart, but still said loudly: "You can start now."

Gu Chen looked up at Gu Feng and whispered, "Eighth-grade Yijin Realm. I reached that realm three years ago. And you call me a genius? You're just a born fool!"

"you wanna die."

Gu Feng's blood boiled instantly, and he was furious. He ran towards Gu Chen with his thighs wide open, and his fist as big as a sand bowl hit him straight on the head, as if he wanted to kill him on the spot.

Gu Chen didn't show any fear on his face when facing this terrifying punch. He moved his feet slightly and turned his body, and the fist almost missed his nose.

Gu Feng kicked sideways with his left leg, kicking towards Gu Chen's abdomen again.

Gu Chen arched his back and slightly retracted his abdomen, dodging the kick with difficulty, just a fist's distance away.

Then he raised his elbow slightly, and with the help of the force from Gu Feng's running, he hit him hard in the chest.

Gu Feng was knocked away, and Gu Chen also took a few steps back.

Jiang Yuan watched the scene from a distance and exclaimed in admiration, "Gu Chen is quite good. Each of his moves seems incredibly dangerous, with only a slight misalignment. However, if you watch closely, you'll see that he's extremely confident, always using minimal force to maximize his advantage. This demonstrates his meticulous technique."

"And he just said he reached the eighth level of Yijin Realm three years ago. He's only thirteen or fourteen now, which means he was already at the eighth level when he was around eleven or twelve. He's a genius!"

Zhong Lin did not respond, but he noticed that Gu Chen's elbow seemed to be extremely powerful, knocking Gu Feng away, but he himself was also seriously injured by the recoil force.

"The recoil can injure me. How can an eighth-grade Yi Jin's body be so weak?"
