In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 116, Cutting in Line

"Mr. Lin, can we depart now?"

"Can."

As the two left the reception room, they encountered Jian Linglong.

Jian Linglong glanced at Zhao Qingqing, then looked at Lin Ran, and said calmly.

"I'll go too."

"...I've used up all the mission rewards."

Lin Ran frowned slightly, not expecting Jian Linglong to suddenly appear. He had accepted Zhao Qingqing's commission, which was a private job.

Jian Linglong shook her head slightly.

"I need to kill. Simply cultivating is not very useful, and I don't need mission rewards."

"Is that so...? Okay, let's go."

Lin Ran thought of Jian Linglong's killing intent and his own sword intent, which he had not improved, and agreed.

The killing intent is very special; it is born for killing.

Zhao Qingqing had no objections. Having another sword spirit as a main fighter was a good thing for her. Since Lin Ran hadn't spoken, she didn't need to say anything more.

The three of them, along with Zhao Qingqing's two guards, traveled to the central area of ​​Bafang City in a floating vehicle.

……

Eight Directions City, Circular Plaza.

Of the original eight palaces shaped like churches, only three remain; the central church is still shrouded in a transparent light curtain.

The seemingly thin light barrier actually has extremely high defensive capabilities.

A dozen or so fourth-tier, lower-level Divine Fire Realm cultivators of the human race attacked together for several hours, but the barrier remained as solid as ever, without even the slightest fluctuation.

This made the beings within the Eight Directions City realize that in order to unlock the core inheritance, they had to take over the eight outer inheritances.

The methods chosen for inheritance are all the same.

Each session can involve a maximum of ten beings simultaneously, lasting a maximum of two hours. If no one receives the inheritance, the next batch will proceed.

Furthermore, the trials can be repeated, but the more times you attempt them, the lower your chances of obtaining the inheritance become.

Although the upper limit of the eight inheritances is only for mid-level extraordinary beings, it is still a height that most living beings cannot reach through normal cultivation.

Unlike elite members like Lin Ran, the protectors they come into contact with are all peak-level transcendent beings.

The hovercraft was parked outside the circular plaza.

As soon as Lin Ran got out of the car, she saw the creatures gathered in three locations.

Roughly estimated, the number of beings waiting for each inheritance exceeds one thousand!

The vast majority are second or third tier, first tier is very rare, and there are even fourth tier auras hidden among them.

Lin Ran glanced at it, carefully sensed it for a while, and after confirming that there was no great danger, she spoke to Zhao Qingqing.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go queue up. Which inheritance do you want?"

"The middle one, the top of the church is a crescent moon."

Zhao Qingqing was puzzled for a moment.

What does queuing mean?

Lin Ran looked over and saw the legacy that Zhao Qingqing had mentioned.

So he nodded and stepped forward.

Jian Linglong remained silent, following beside Lin Ran, a sword aura already in her hand.

Lin Ran made no attempt to conceal his presence, swaggering over the numerous creatures.

Jian Linglong emitted an aura, which, at the mid-stage of the third rank, was not particularly high among the many living beings.

As a result, halfway there, more than a dozen third-tier beings flew into the air to block their way, including two humans.

Jian Linglong looked at Lin Ran.

The latter said:

"Since we are both human, I'll give you a chance. I need three chances to inherit this legacy. May I ask for your passage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the many third-tier cultivators were stunned for a moment. After they came to their senses, they laughed and looked at Lin Ran as if he were a clown.

The two humans frowned. They had participated in the massacre of the long street more than ten days ago and were very familiar with Lin Ran's combat strength. So they exchanged a glance and left.

The other alien races paid no attention. A third-tier werewolf stepped forward, his bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Lin Ran.

It sensed the aura of the Wolf God's Mark and was about to utter some harsh words when it heard Lin Ran's words.

"Kill anyone who blocks the road."

As soon as he finished speaking, crimson sword energy swept across the sky.

The alien race members who stepped forward changed their expressions drastically and began to use various methods to defend themselves.

Lin Ran closed her eyes and opened them, and more than a dozen transparent light blades appeared out of thin air and rushed into the alien race's mind.

Mental Power - Eye Technique: Instant Slash!

boom!

The alien race blocking the way was instantly stunned, and then their bodies were swept past by the blood-red sword energy.

bang bang bang...

The alien's body exploded into dust, merging into the blood-red sword energy, turning the sword energy into a blackish-red color.

Jian Linglong beckoned, controlling the sword energy to return to her side, without refining it.

The scene was completely silent. The alien race that had intended to make a move immediately lost interest after comparing the strength of the two sides.

Lin Ran and Jian Linglong walked to the inheritance platform. There were only three fourth-level alien races blocking their way. The lower-level Divine Fire Realm humans did not come.

Of the ten spots on the inheritance platform, only three remain: two from other races and one from a human.

Judging from the fluctuations in their connection with the tradition, there probably isn't much hope.

Lin Ran and Jian Linglong stopped outside the inheritance platform, while the alien races behind them dared not speak out against their anger.

They looked at the three fourth-tier alien races, hoping to stop Lin Ran's advance.

After observing for a while, Lin Ran confirmed that the defenses of the inheritance platform were something she couldn't break, and then turned her attention to the alien race.

Elf, fire spirit, werewolf.

Lin Ran's lips curled into a smile. These werewolves really are everywhere.

"Hey you three, can I pass by? You only need three solo attempts."

The three fourth-tier beings glanced at Lin Ran but ignored her.

Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, I like your attitude."

Eye Technique: Space!

The fourth-tier werewolf's expression suddenly changed as he discovered that he was unable to move; the spiritual energy around him and his physical movements were completely frozen!

It immediately decided to use its trump card, but a sharp pain suddenly shot through its mind, causing its consciousness to go blank for a brief moment.

The elves and fire spirits immediately looked over and saw blood-red sword energy that almost filled their entire field of vision.

puff!

As the sword energy disappeared, the head of the fourth-tier werewolf flew up, and before it hit the ground, it was swallowed by the sword energy, its entire body of blood being consumed.

The black and red sword energy returned to Jian Linglong's hand, swirling around her and staining her clear black and white eyes with a layer of blood.

Lin Ran pressed down on Jian Linglong's shoulder to stop her bloodlust.

He teleported to the werewolf's storage ring, looked at the elf and fire spirit, and said with a smile:

"It's a pity that some people disagree. What about you two?"

Fire Spirit immediately took action, retreating a distance and leaving its candidate position on the Inheritance Platform.

The elf stared at Lin Ran, somewhat unwilling.

Lin Ransong opened her sword, Linglong, and the latter raised her sword qi.

The elf immediately retreated, leaving the candidate position.

Lin Ran held Jian Linglong's hand, her smile still radiant.

"Thank you both for your cooperation."

After saying that, he waved to someone in the distance.

Jian Linglong brandished her sword and used its energy to bring Zhao Qingqing over.

Lin Ran pulled Jian Linglong down from their seats and swaggered to sit in front of the many alien races, still wearing a smile.

Jian Linglong's sword energy filled the air, transforming into six giant blood swords that locked onto the six fourth-tier auras of the alien race.

The four unformed sword energies served as a warning to the human race at the fourth tier.

Looking at Lin Ran's retreating figure, Zhao Qingqing felt that the Enlightenment Crystal was well worth the investment.

If it were anyone else, they would never have come up with such a clean and efficient solution!

A dozen minutes later, the internal transmission ended. Both the alien races and the human race failed, and they were randomly teleported to a corner of the city.

Lin Ran gestured to Zhao Qingqing,

"Go ahead, with me here, no one can bother you."
