Chapter Eighty: Transferring Anger (Third Update, Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  In the blink of an eye, two years have passed and Yang Tong is already seventeen years old. In these two years, Yang Tong has crafted over seven hundred pieces of armor, most of which were purchased by the Zhao family and put on the market.

  Zhao's business was booming, and his reputation soared, attracting many scattered cultivators. In the struggle against the Lin and Qin families, he had the upper hand. Yang Tong also made a fortune, and in the past two years, his mastery of alchemy had reached new heights. After two years of quiet cultivation, Yang Tong had reached the peak of the fourth level of the Great Earth Realm, with an unshakeable foundation and a purity of true yuan that had reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment period. Even many Sky Realm experts couldn't compare to Yang Tong's pure true yuan.

  Yang Tong, in the process of crazily refining equipment for two years, gained insight into twenty-six Earthly Shackles and two Heavenly Shackles. In the martial arts hall, Yang Tong's mind stirred, a four-star golden sword transformed from his cufflinks, grasped in his hand.

  This sword, Yang Tong specially refined for himself, has no extraordinary secret techniques, but can reduce the consumption of spiritual power and true yuan by 50%, and this sword is extremely sharp. The sealed secret technique is only a powerful breakthrough thrust type of secret technique, making it a versatile flying sword suitable for both close combat and long-range attacks. In the sword, Yang Tong has embedded a land-killer ban, with this ban in place, even a sixth-grade divine weapon cannot rival this sword.

  "Green Lotus Blooms!" Yang Tong's sword flower spun around, a set of sword moves danced out, spiritual energy gathered, true yuan surged, and in the air, green lotus flowers truly bloomed.

  "Green lotus crazy dance!" The green lotus in the sky danced with rhythm, sometimes floating, sometimes hidden, sometimes dazzling, and sometimes frantic.

  "Green Lotus Solitary Branch!" Suddenly, the green lotus flowers converged into a gigantic green lotus, blooming with an overwhelming aura, sword energy swirling like a dragon, proudly standing alone and unparalleled.

  "Life and death are boundless!" The massive green lotus released a sword aura that transformed into clusters of green lotuses, blooming and withering in the air, withering and blooming again, beautiful and dazzling.

  Yang Tong sheathed his sword and stood up, nodding his head in great satisfaction.

  This sword move has four changes, which is the first move of the "Qinglian Sword Manual" that Yang Tong learned, called Jianlian. In Yang Tong's inheritance, using a sword is not limited to controlling swords at a distance, but also includes close-range sword moves like this one. This type of sword move is more powerful and has more changes. Yang Tong has now cultivated the Ninth Turn of the Yuan Gong, and has reached the second turn, which means his physical body can already compare to that of a ninth-level peak martial artist, so he specially went to learn this set of sword moves, also as another means of attack for himself.

  In the past two years, Yang Tong earned more than 350 contribution points and tens of billions of spiritual coins. He kept the contribution points for himself, but divided the money in half and transferred it to his parents' accounts, with each receiving over ten billion.

  Almost scared parents, later asked to know that the money was son's remittance, finally scolded Yangtong severely, but the money was still returned. In the end, it was Yangtong who insisted on making his parents accept the money. As a result, Yangtong showed off his superb spiritual tool-making skills, making his parents so happy that they danced with joy. The status of a spiritual tool master is highly respected and never short of money.

  "Bang!" The water glass smashed heavily on the ground, shattering into powder.

  The host of the Lin family, Lin Jin Dong, sat in the first position, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. His temples were bulging with rage, making one worry that he might burst a blood vessel. He thundered angrily: "What kind of way is this to do things?!"

  "The master calms down." More than a dozen of Lin's family servants were scared and knelt on the ground, trembling non-stop.

  "Hmph, do you still consider me the master of this household? I've been in seclusion for only five years and yet I encounter such a mess upon my return. Fine, if we must go to war, then so be it. But you bunch of useless people, after allying with the Qin family, were actually defeated by that Zhao person, suffering heavy losses. Even our pillar industries are on the verge of closing down. You've all done a great job indeed!" Lin Jin's anger was barely contained as he spoke in a gloomy tone.

  "We are incompetent, sir. Please forgive us." The group of servants trembled as they spoke.

  Lin Jin saw this scene, although angry in his heart, but the law does not blame the crowd, so he did not really lower his head to admit guilt. He suppressed the violent anger in his heart and calmly asked: "What's the reason? Have you found the reason?"

  "As for the Lord's words, over the past two years, the large quantities of defensive equipment that have been circulating on the market all originated from the Royal Advanced Academy." A steward in charge of intelligence replied.

  Over the years, a large number of defensive equipment flooded the market, severely impacting the Lin family's defense business. It was already difficult to find a skilled spiritual tool craftsman, and even fewer were proficient in manufacturing defensive equipment, with most being poached by spiritual tool technology companies. The Lin family had a skilled spiritual tool craftsman who specialized in defensive equipment, which was the backbone of their industry. Defensive equipment on the market was always in short supply, so its price was two to three times that of weapons. Despite being expensive, many people rushed to buy it because good defensive equipment could save lives, resulting in huge profits. The Lin family had maintained this lucrative business for a long time. However, the sudden appearance of large quantities of cheap and high-quality defensive equipment from the Zhao family caused significant losses for the Lin family. The Lin family's spiritual tool craftsman was not as prolific or successful as Yang Tong.

  Two years later, the Lin family's reputation was completely ruined by the blow, and with the comprehensive blow from other aspects, the pillar industry almost went bankrupt. In comparison, the Qin family is much better off.

  "Cut the nonsense and get to the point!" Lin Jin slammed his hand on the table, shouting. In the entire Luoxing City, only the Royal Advanced Academy could produce a large number of defensive spiritual artifacts all at once.

  "Yes, in recent years, a genius youth has emerged from the Royal Higher Academy. His name is Yang Tong, and he became a Spirit Tool Master before the age of 14. He is extremely skilled and is friends with the third young master of the Zhao family. The defensive equipment used by the Zhao family over the past two years have all been crafted by him." The person in charge of intelligence said. "His background is very clean." Yang Tong's background was indeed very clean, and his relationship with the Mercenary Guild was a secret known only to those within the guild. The guild cultivated talent through a hands-off approach, providing support and exchange channels, as well as admission letters to the Royal Higher Academy, and even offering three unconditional assistance opportunities. Everything else relied on Yang Tong's own efforts.

  At the level of the land, it's really not worth it for the Mercenary Guild to gather and cultivate. Because what the Mercenary Guild is really concerned about is not this level, but a higher level.

  "Ah? He's a genius, I like it. Find a way to contact him directly or indirectly, no matter the cost, I want to win him over." Lin Jin said unexpectedly.

  "As for going back to the master, our subordinate had already sent many people to convey the message to him early on. However, this person is arrogant and rude, disregarding our good intentions and not even bothering to respond, still doing his own thing." Another person chimed in.

  The Lin family did indeed contact Yang Tong, but he was too busy at the time and didn't have an audience with him. Besides, even if they had met, Yang Tong wouldn't have agreed anyway, as the Lin family was one of his targets to strike down.

  "Is that so? A genius being a bit arrogant is normal, but if this person really doesn't know how to behave, then find someone to deal with him!" Lin Jin said calmly, "Do I need to teach you all these things?"
