My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"..."

Lin Yi, his face stiff, stood up and walked up to Lin Xue, then flicked her forehead.

The dull thud made Lin Shu secretly gasp in surprise.

That sounds painful!

In fact, it really hurts.

Lin Xue was in so much pain that tears were almost falling. "Dad, why did you hit me? Talk to me, why did you have to resort to violence?"

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "Now I'm asking you, did Dad fail?"

"I……"

Lin Xue opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately lowered her head. "How could you possibly fail? You wouldn't fail."

"You are the most successful. The Lin family's current status in Xia Kingdom is all thanks to you. You are the most remarkable. You are even more remarkable than that half-step extraordinary ancestor back then."

Lin Yi gave a half-smile.

That's clearly a sign of dissatisfaction!

With that in mind, he raised his hand again, still with that smiling expression, "Xiaoxue, I'm giving you a chance to rephrase your words, please make the most of it."

"..."

Lin Xue wanted to cry but had no tears.

Are people threatening others so blatantly these days?

But since the person in front of her was her father, even though there was no bloodline suppression, she dared not provoke him at this critical juncture.

Because if they dare to provoke...

The next flick on the head will definitely follow, and it will certainly be harder and more painful than the last one.

"You're amazing, is it alright to say it like that now?"

"Barely."

Lin Yi chuckled and returned to his seat, explaining earnestly, "Xiaoxue, making a first-class family disappear is not as easy as you think, unless our Lin family can produce another ancestor like him."

"An existence like our ancestors?"

Lin Xue sighed, "How can such an existence just appear out of thin air? For a family to produce such a figure requires immense luck..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shu's voice rang out, "An existence like the Ancestor? It's not impossible."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to Lin Shu's face, including Xu Yanshu.

An existence like our ancestor was only half a step into the extraordinary realm!

In the more than four hundred years of the Xia Dynasty, only one person has ever reached the half-step extraordinary realm, and that was the ancestor of the Lin family. However, in the more than four hundred years, the number of ancient martial artists must have been at least half a million, if not a million.

A one in 500,000 chance, and that's after consuming a supernatural fruit...

The thought of the extraordinary fruit made Lin Yi and Lin Xue's eyes light up.

Lin Yi gave him a look, and Lin Xue immediately understood, becoming his mouthpiece. "Sister Shu, the extraordinary fruits of the Leng family and the Shen family were stolen by two mysterious experts on the same night. The Lin family's informants within these two families reported that they suspect the two mysterious experts are Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen. Is that true?"

"you guess."

Hearing Lin Shu's answer, Lin Xue was furious. "Guess your sister!"

Lin Shu kept laughing, "You're my sister, right? Can you guess?"

"you……"

Lin Xue glanced at him and said, "Dad, Sister Shu doesn't want to tell us the truth at all. Are you going to do anything about it?"

Before Lin Yi could speak, Lin Shu retorted, "Wait, Xiaoxue, don't slander me. Who said I didn't want to tell you the truth?"

"Then why don't you say it?"

"I was just joking with you."

Lin Shu's eyes were full of mockery, "Can't even take a joke, tsk."

Lin Xue closed her eyes and complained, "It's been so many years, why are you still as annoying as before?"

Lin Shu found it amusing. "What are you saying? When I ran away from home, my parents hadn't adopted you yet. Do you know what I was like before?"

"I do not know how?"

Lin Xue glared angrily at Lin Shu, "Over the years, I've heard countless things about you from Dad, and from those things, I can tell what kind of person you are!"

"Oh?"

Lin Shu looked curious. "Then tell me, who exactly am I?"

Lin Xue sneered, "Arrogant, disdainful of others, always looking for trouble, rude, shameless..."

"Stop, stop, stop right now!"

Lin Shu was embarrassed. "If you keep going, you'll run out of things to say."

Lin Xue patted the armrest of the chair, "Tell me quickly, were those two mysterious experts who stole the extraordinary fruits from the Leng and Shen families Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen?"

"Yes."

After receiving Lin Shu's affirmative answer, Lin Yi's eyes narrowed involuntarily. "Why are those two sword gods, Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen, fighting over the extraordinary fruit? Could it be that even they, as top-tier experts, are willing to risk breaking through to the extraordinary realm?"

Hearing her father's mutterings, a hint of worry flashed deep in Lin Shu's eyes. "Dad, it is precisely because Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen are the pinnacle of the ancient martial arts world that they have to risk trying to break through to the extraordinary realm."

A flash of memory crossed her eyes. "Before Brother Duan left, he said something to me: 'If a martial artist loses the motivation to move forward, then he is not worthy of being a martial artist. The word 'martial artist' itself represents moving forward without hesitation.'"

"Go forward without hesitation?"

Lin Yi's eyes gleamed. "Those words... are quite domineering!"

Then, he changed the subject, "So, Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen are already trying to break through to the extraordinary realm using the extraordinary fruit?"

"Correct!"

Lin Shu nodded worriedly, admitting, "It's been almost a month, and I still don't know about the two of them..."

She sighed deeply halfway through her sentence, "Never mind, it's all fate."

Lin Yi nodded in deep agreement, and seeing his daughter's worry, he couldn't help but comfort her, "Xiao Shu, you don't need to worry too much. With Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen's strength, if even they fail, then this transcendent realm may not exist."

Lin Shu didn't respond to that. Before Duan Ya left, she had asked him a similar question.

At that time, Duanya told her with certainty that the realm of the extraordinary truly existed.

Lin Xue stopped teasing Lin Shu and subtly changed the subject, "Sister, now that the extraordinary fruit from Yancheng has fallen into your hands, along with the extraordinary fruits from the Leng and Shen families, even if you gave one to Duan Ya and one to Bai Wuhen, you should still have one left. Can you give this extraordinary fruit to the family?"

"Ok?"

Meeting Lin Shu's puzzled gaze, Lin Xue glanced at her father.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at her. "What's there to hide from your sister?"

Lin Xue pouted, "Who told you to be the head of the Lin family? If I didn't ask you first, I'm afraid you'd give me another flick on the head if I discussed the family's top-secret plans in front of you."

Lin Yi stroked his beard and smiled, "Go ahead and tell me, there are no secrets in our family when it comes to your sister."

Lin Shu was moved but also curious, and asked, "Xiaoxue, what exactly is this top-secret plan?"

Chapter 641 Extraordinary Plan

"Xiaoxue, what exactly is this top-secret plan?"

Lin Xue unconsciously lowered her voice considerably, "Sister Shu, you also know what the existence of a half-step transcendent realm represents. Now that our Lin family has obtained a transcendent fruit, we naturally cannot let it lie dormant in the secret vault."

"Regarding this extraordinary fruit, my father and all the level 10 experts in the family held a secret meeting and finally formulated a plan, the Extraordinary Plan."

"The Extraordinary Project?"

Lin Shu's brow twitched, and he had already guessed what was going on.

Lin Xue's voice continued, "The so-called Extraordinary Plan is to select the two strongest level 10 experts from the family, and have these two level 10 experts each consume half of the Extraordinary Fruit to attempt to break through to the half-step Extraordinary realm."

A knowing glint flashed in Lin Shu's eyes; it was just as she had guessed.

Extraordinary fruits are considered a great opportunity for martial artists.

Once it appears, it opens up the path to advancement, especially for martial artists who have broken through to the tenth level.

Although the success rate of this path is extremely low, to an appalling degree.

However, the chance of success does exist, and the best example is the ancestor of the Lin family who was half a step into the extraordinary realm.

Conversely, without a transcendent fruit, a level 10 expert trying to break through to the half-step transcendent realm, or even the transcendent realm, would be committing suicide.

Throughout the more than four hundred years of the Xia calendar, countless martial artists have followed one after another in their quest to become half-step extraordinary, or even truly extraordinary masters.

But the final result was...

No matter how brilliant or extraordinary your talent may be, you can only fall on the road to breakthrough.

Some might say that even with a supernatural fruit, the chance of failure is still extremely high, and the consequence of failure is death.

Under such circumstances, very few martial artists would be willing to attempt a breakthrough.

After all, martial artists are also human.

Humans fear death; when a person dies, everything is gone.

In fact, that is indeed true.

However, an important point was overlooked: martial artists are constantly fighting against the heavens, gaining greater power and a longer lifespan by repeatedly breaking through their physical limits.

A level 10 martial artist's lifespan is approximately two hundred years. Level 10 martial artists represent the pinnacle of combat power in the ancient martial arts world. Logically, the number of such martial artists should be extremely small, but the reality is quite different.

According to statistics compiled by Tianji Pavilion last year, there are currently 135 level 10 martial artists in the ancient martial arts world.

However, these 135 level 10 experts do not include level 10 martial artists from various family forces.

It's not that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can't count the number of level 10 martial artists in various families or forces, but rather that it can't do so.

A level 10 martial artist is a strategic asset for any faction.

The number of level 10 experts is a very sensitive matter for any faction, and no one would be foolish enough to reveal the number of their own level 10 experts.

This is also the main reason why Tianji Pavilion does not keep statistics.
