Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 2 First Battle

Lin Langtian focused his gaze on the stone platform.

Hundreds of youths were engaged in a fierce battle, with some being defeated and kicked off the stone platform, while others, who still had strength left, conceded defeat in order to preserve their fighting power.

News of the outcome of the battles would occasionally emanate from the center of the arena, and people like Lin Xiao, who had been beaten half to death, would be taken away from the stone platform by their companions or elders.

Of course, the winners are usually from the main family, and nine out of ten of them are dressed in fine clothes, looking like young masters or young ladies.

Those who split up the family line mostly wore black or hemp clothing, making them easily distinguishable from the main family.

Lin Langtian slowly mobilized his internal energy, trying to familiarize himself with this strange power before the next competition.

Fortunately, the original owner's martial arts memories were preserved; otherwise, there would have been no point in fighting, and they could have just surrendered.

"Huh? Kid, something's not right with you." Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out.

Lin Langtian was startled, but he forced himself not to reveal any flaws and remained silent.

He glanced around at the people around him, and none of them seemed to be acting strangely. So the sound was coming from inside his own body!

Sure enough, Old Mu was already there!

"Boy, what happened to you while I was asleep? How come your soul has changed so much?" There was a hint of surprise in the hoarse voice.

"Is there?" Lin Langtian thought to himself, remaining calm and composed.

"Strange... I've only been asleep for half a month, yet your soul has become so solid... How bizarre."

The hoarse voice rang out again, seemingly puzzled, before continuing.

"Never mind, the more potential you have, the better it is for me."

"Um."

"By the way, there's something else I need to do upon waking up this time."

The hoarse voice sounded somewhat solemn.

"I need you to help me find some elixirs to restore my primordial spirit. I've already overdrawn my primordial spirit by lending you my primordial energy several times before."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Lin Langtian nodded secretly.

It's unclear whether Master Mu heard it or not, but after saying his last sentence, he fell silent again, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Elixirs that can repair the primordial spirit are probably not so easy to obtain.

However, Master Mu is a reliable cheat code in the early stages, so we should try our best to ensure his survival.

Although in the original story, Lin Langtian and Mu Shi's primordial spirit merge into one in the end, Mu Shi never made any move to take over Lin Langtian's body.

In the end, Lin Langtian went mad with internal energy and had to sacrifice Mu Shi's soul, but he was no match for the Martial Ancestor, which led to their mutual demise.

Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Although there are no clear plans for the future, the appearance of Master Mu is undoubtedly good news. At least some things are no longer as confusing as before, and there is someone to discuss things with if you are unsure.

After a moment's thought, Lin Langtian decided to continue watching the competition. He didn't expect to achieve great results in this competition, but at least he could perform steadily.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a burning gaze fixed on me, but it quickly shifted away.

Lin Langtian found the source of his gaze, and sure enough, it was that pretty girl again.

Staring at her slightly flushed cheeks, Lin Langtian sighed. So this is the privilege of villains?

Unlike the protagonist who is prone to attracting negative attention, villains usually have many henchmen behind them, as well as a number of female admirers, and they can gain respect from everyone wherever they go.

You call this a villain?

Lin Langtian silently complained to himself, "If the villain hadn't been forced to have such a violent personality by the author, then switching the identities of the protagonist and the villain would probably be the normal world."

Lin Langtian felt a little pleased, but his expression remained indifferent.

"Lin Langtian of the Lin Clan versus Lin Ye of the Lin Clan!"

As the sound rang out, the surrounding noise subsided, and all eyes turned back to it.

Lin Langtian slowly stood up and, under everyone's gaze, darted towards the stone platform in the distance, landing in the center of the arena in a single leap.

……

Above the first floor.

Amidst a sea of ​​golden seats.

Several figures sat together, and in the middle seat was an old man with white hair dressed in a purple robe. The Yuan energy surrounding him was almost solidified, which also meant that he had extraordinary strength.

"The peak of the early stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm. I remember that Lang Tian broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm in just two or three months." The purple-robed old man clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Yes, at this rate, he'll probably break through to the third realm of creation in no more than twenty," an old man with gray hair remarked.

"But at the early stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, it's still a bit lacking in this clan competition," the purple-robed elder said with some regret.

"The real stage for Langtian will be the next grand competition. This is just a warm-up," the gray-haired old man said in a deep voice.

The other elders echoed this sentiment, expressing their agreement.

……

In the arena, Lin Langtian looked at his opponent, who was also from a clan, and smiled calmly. Lin Ye on the other side also returned the smile.

"Brother Lin Langtian, I've long admired your name!" Lin Ye said, looking at Lin Langtian. "My name is Lin Ye, mid-stage Heavenly Origin Realm. I'm not like that good-for-nothing Lin Xiao, whose fists and feet are ruthless. You'd better watch out!"

"Come on then."

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the middle-aged man in the square looked at the two of them, and after confirming that they were indeed the same person, he nodded slightly, then waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

"Get ready, everyone! The competition begins!"

"boom!"

The moment the middle-aged man finished speaking, two streams of Yuan energy burst forth from Lin Langtian and Lin Ye's bodies, revealing their Tianyuan Realm strength.

Lin Ye stomped his foot and flashed over, appearing in front of Lin Langtian in an instant. He clenched his fist, gathered his Yuan energy in his hand, and threw a punch, creating a whooshing sound.

Lin Langtian felt a little flustered, but his body still reacted instinctively.

First, he dodged an oncoming punch by turning to the side, then used his left hand to channel his energy into a hand chop and slashed down at Lin Ye's back.

"puff!"

Lin Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, but he endured the excruciating pain and curled up to roll forward, dodging Lin Langtian's attack range before barely straightening up.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Both were at the Heavenly Origin Realm, and he was even a step above the other, but who would have thought that the gap between them would be so huge.

Having previously mocked Lin Xiao for being utterly destroyed, I never imagined that I myself would be so pathetic.

The entire arena fell silent for a moment, then a louder roar erupted. All sorts of noises converged and shot straight up into the sky, as if to rip the roof off.

Hearing the unanimous praises from all corners of the venue, Lin Langtian's lips curled up slightly, but he instantly returned to his previous expressionless demeanor.

A man is a boy until he dies, and who wouldn't want to show himself in the spotlight?

Lin Langtian faced the forestry department and smiled slightly, "Shall we continue?"
