Chapter 20: Big Sister Master

  After returning from the training ground, Lin Xi once again immersed himself in intense practice.

  For Lin Xi, every minute was precious. After all, the time left to him was not much, five months' time, to reach the sixth heavy god journey, Lin Xi also didn't have too much confidence.

  Time passed day by day, Lin Xi's martial arts progressed by leaps and bounds. His muscles became stronger and more powerful, filled with energy. The density of his bones also became more compact and more powerful.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  In the grand hall, Lin Xi's feet moved in a linked ring, his body swaying and moving as if flying. Each of his strikes was like a mountain flood bursting forth, destroying everything in its path.

  "Forward Collapse Fist!"

  "Great Sage Explodes!"

  "The White Dragon Enters the Sea!"

  "Useless effort!"

  …………

  Every punch was a thousand pounds of force, the air in the great hall was stirred by the fist wind, and a violent storm raged, rolling up whirlpools, as if it had become an ocean of air. The entire great hall was shaking in Lin Xi's fist wind, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it were about to collapse.

  With strength reaching Lin Xi's level, his fist wind was already like a substance. Being swept by the fist wind would still result in severe injury.

  After practicing fist techniques for a while, Lin Xi's figure changed again and he demonstrated another exercise technique.

  "Stick to the mountain!"

  "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

  "Crash won't do!"

  …………

  Lin Xi this time changed to use the strength of his shoulders, abdomen and back to violently collide with the thick bronze walls of the grand hall. The skin membrane inside a person's body is very difficult to train with ordinary methods. Like a black bear colliding with a tree, by constantly rubbing against the big tree, using this external force to temper itself, Lin Xi's training method has a similar effect in achieving the same goal.

  Whether it's Tiě Shān Kào or Bā Jí Bēng, they all use the method of physical impact to train the skin membrane on the body, making it more compact and resilient. As for "Bù Zhōu", it takes the connotation of the mythological story of the Water God Gonggong colliding with Buzhou, possessing a unique and ingenious meaning.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Lin Xi's every collision caused a large wall of the main hall to cave in. His current strength was too powerful, like a human-shaped fierce beast. The copper and iron walls couldn't withstand it either.

  Such combat power on the battlefield is immediately a fierce general who can defeat ten thousand enemies. Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, encountering cavalry, directly punching to death both the person and the horse.

  With the huge impact, deep dents were left on both sides of the bronze walls. The east and west sides of this great hall have been completely deformed. The surface is uneven and ugly.

  About two hours later, Lin Xi finally ended his practice. A human-shaped mark was left on the wall, and Lin Xi's outline could be vaguely seen.

  "It's still too inconvenient to practice on the mountain!......"

  Lin Xi picked up the towel on the table and wiped his sweat. After a round of training, Lin Xi was sweating profusely, and his whole body was sore and aching. Fortunately, he had already experienced this kind of training before, so it wasn't unfamiliar to him.

  Once this soreness passes, the skin will become more robust and resilient.

  Recalling the training process during this period, Lin Xi felt that he was being restricted everywhere and it wasn't very convenient. His training method was vastly different from those of the Five Thunder Sect disciples on the mountain. To others, it seemed shocking and unconventional.

  In fact, the large temple where Lin Xi is currently living has a rugged and uneven appearance that is already astonishing. But it's precisely because of this that Lin Xi feels even more inconvenient.

  The fifth layer of tendon refinement, requiring exercise of the entire body's membrane, the denser and higher the better. This is a water-grinding stone-like kung fu, fundamentally unable to speed up. However, Lin Xi wants to reach the Divine Movement Realm within the remaining four months, not letting Meng Jun take away the position of sect leader, but with just this current level of cultivation, it's still insufficient.

  Although Lin Xi's cultivation speed was already astonishing and unimaginable for ordinary Five Thunder Sect disciples.

  "We have to think of a way to get out of here."

  Lin Xi's mind flashed with many thoughts, and he immediately had an idea.

  There are too many secrets on his body, and no one can know except himself. Only by leaving the Five Thunder Sect can Lin Xi be free from worries and use all means to improve himself without any restrictions.

  "When the time is right, tell Auntie and leave the Five Thunder Sect! However, before that, I still need to go to the ancestral library to fetch some medicinal materials."

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  The "Supreme Dominance" tempering method, combined with medicinal bath tempering, is much more effective than any single tempering method. Of course, this is also because Lin Xi's current abilities are too shallow and he can't bring out the powerful effects of this tempering method yet.

  With the mentality of "dominating the world", absorbing the essence of medicinal materials is much stronger than ordinary medicine bathing. Ordinary disciples' medicine bathing can only absorb 50% to 60%, and the rest will be lost. Lin Xi, however, can absorb more than 90% of the medicinal properties.

  The difference between the two is apparent at a glance.

  However, Lin Xi had practiced for a month, and the medicinal materials he had gathered from the warehouse were almost exhausted, leaving only a small amount left.

  Even if it's a retreat in the mountains for training, Lin Xi must bring enough medicinal materials for training.

  "Go to Zong Ku first and take a look, replenish some medicinal materials before talking."

  Lin Xi changed into another set of clothes and quickly headed towards the ancestral hall.

  With the elder's decree, Lin Xi entered the ancestral hall without any obstruction this time. He quickly entered the depths of the mountain.

  "Huh? What's going on? Why is there so little medicine here?"

  Lin Xi entered the warehouse and was shocked to see that there were far fewer medicinal herbs stored than before. Moreover, some of the rare and precious herbs had vanished without a trace.

  Not only that, Lin Xi lightly sniffed and immediately discovered that the medicinal materials in the warehouse were of extremely poor quality. They were all two-year-old, three-year-old medicinal materials, with the highest being only five years old.

  Such medicine is used for tempering the body. The effect can be imagined. Its efficacy is almost negligible.

  "What's going on? Where are the medicinal herbs in the warehouse? You knew I was coming and hid them away, didn't you?"

  Lin Xi suddenly remembered the last time a few people tried to stop him, and a surge of anger burst forth in his heart. With one swift motion, he reached out with his large hand and grabbed one of the guards watching over the ancestral temple, lifting him up into the air like a small chicken.

  His current strength is extremely powerful, and Zong Kui's disciples are simply no match for him.

  Moreover, after a series of establishing his authority, Lin Xi gradually established the prestige of being the young master in the sect. No one dared to bully him openly again.

  "It's none of our business who becomes the new leader."

  Zong Ku's face turned pale and he hastily explained. He knew that Wang Hai, Zhao Xue, Zhang Long and other core disciples had fallen one after another at Lin Xi's hands.

  Zhang Long is still lying there nursing his injuries!

  The Lin Xi of today is no longer the useless trash who could be bullied at will.

  "A while ago, Second Elder Meng Jun, Fourth Elder Duan Yi Mei, Fifth Elder Wei Bu Ping and many other core disciples came here to collect a large amount of cultivation medicine. They also instructed that any fire Hou medicine over ten years old should be sent directly to the Elders' Hall. As you know, the Elders have special authority when it comes to resource allocation. We can't stop them at all."

  The guards argued with each other.

  "What? Meng Jun!!"

  Lin Xi's two sword-like eyebrows were deeply locked together upon hearing this.

  His eyes narrowed, and many thoughts flashed in his pupils. It had been a while since he defeated Meng Jun's core disciple on the training grounds, but Meng Jun had always been "keeping a low profile" without any movement.

  Lin Xi thought it was strange, but didn't think much of it. Now it seems that he wasn't unwilling to deal with Lin Xi, he just hadn't found a good opportunity yet.

  "This old thing is indeed not so easy-going. However, you think that by cutting off my medicinal materials, I'll be at a loss for what to do?"

  A sharp glint flashed in Lin Xi's eyes.

  Medicinal bath and body tempering are very important for sect disciples. If Lin Xi is still the same as before, then Meng Jun's move would have truly cut off his future prospects. Without sufficient medicinal material essence to support him, Lin Xi will probably also be unable to make a good dish without rice.

  However, when Lin Xi obtained the "Wan Huang Tu", learned the "Jun Lin Tian Xia Shi" inside, it was another story. Although there was no deep fire marquis' medicine to support him, the effect was much worse. But it was far from affecting Lin Xi's daily practice.

  At most, it's just a bit less medicinal material, and the cultivation speed will be slower. You should know that for Lin Xi, the endless yuanqi in this world is his medicine warehouse.

  Bang!

  Lin Xi's hand relaxed and he put down the guard. The medicine in Zong Ku was too shallow for him, it didn't have any effect at all. Taking it or not taking it made no difference.

  "Meng Jun, you still underestimate me. You must not know that I have obtained a body tempering method far more powerful than the Medicine Bath. Once I reach the Diamond Stage, it will be your death sentence!"

  A fierce glint flashed in Lin Xi's eyes as he turned and walked away.

  Meng Jun's martial arts skills are far superior to Lin Xi's, and it would be extremely unwise to look for him now. A gentleman takes revenge, even if it's ten years later. Having waited this long already, Lin Xi doesn't mind waiting a bit longer until he becomes strong enough to take down Meng Jun in one move.

  Lin Xi came out of the ancestral hall and had just walked a short distance when his ears perked up, and he heard a commotion coming from afar, accompanied by shouts and curses.

  "Somebody is fighting!"

  Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickened her pace, rushing towards the scene of the fight.

  The opponent seemed to be alone, but his martial arts skills were extremely high. He suppressed several people who surrounded and attacked him one after another.

  "Who is so bold as to dare strike in our Five Thunder Sect?!"

  Lin Xi secretly felt a sense of surprise and unease. This person was also somewhat too reckless!

  As they drew closer, the originally indistinct voices suddenly became much clearer. One side of the fight was a core disciple of the Five Thunder Sect, while the other side was a woman. The woman was furiously shouting one after another, seemingly extremely angry:

  "You bunch of bastards, are you men or not?!... Get up! All of you get up for me, no stopping allowed within two hours!"

  "Ah! Master Sister, spare us! You're almost breaking through to the eighth level of Golden Eternity, yet you still come to bully us junior brothers. Even if we join forces, we can't defeat you!"

  "Yes! Elder sister, you're a formidable woman with great abilities! Don't bother competing with us junior brothers. We acknowledge defeat and aren't your match!"

  …………

  Several people wailed and begged for mercy desperately.

  "Big sister?! She's back!!"

  Lin Xi's spirit was lifted, and he felt an overwhelming joy in his heart. He immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the scene of the fight. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived at the scene. There, he saw a woman wearing a red uniform, pointing at a group of core disciples from the Wu Lei Sect and scolding them angrily.

  This woman has icy skin and bones, a face like peaches and plums, and her skin is even whiter than jade, making her a top-notch beauty. However, the fierce aura emanating from her body is simply too intimidating. With just one glare, her sharp eyes can kill people several times over.

  "Hum! Martial arts require bravery and perseverance, advancing in the face of difficulties. How can you yield so easily? With this kind of mindset, how will you reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future? Are you going to yield when an enemy tries to kill you too, and let them take your life? - You bunch of weaklings, get up! It's rare for me to come back once, can't you just let me have my fun?"

  The woman scolded and kicked, but the Five Thunder Sect disciples around her had suffered enough and refused to get up.
