Chapter 6: Return to Hometown!

  Eliminating this bandit lair was Tang Lin's most arduous battle!

  Half a year ago, my second sister had been in Xingge for two years and her cultivation had reached the seventh realm of Wujie. Although she was skilled in body techniques, sword techniques, and carried a magical treasure on her body, facing an ordinary martial god could escape with her life, but to defeat or even kill one would be extremely difficult.

  At that time, Tang Lin had only reached the sixth boundary of martial arts.

  Logically speaking, neither of them was a match for the Martial God, but during this period, Tang Lin and Er Jie had been practicing martial arts together, comprehending swordsmanship together, and tempering their bodies together. The two had perfect tacit understanding, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and through mutual coordination, they finally managed to slay the Martial God.

  Two years of martial arts training.

  Two years of insight.

  Two years of contemplation.

  Tang Lin's originally shallow foundation in martial arts was thoroughly consolidated in the Star Pavilion. According to the realm of martial artists, a sixth-realm martial artist can establish their own sect and be called a "master of a generation" throughout the entire dynasty!

  The Eight Views of Warriors

  The Fourth Realm, named Spirit Realm.

  Unblock the waist acupoints, the whole body is agile and nimble, the body method is lithe and strong. Even if one has not learned the body method, after reaching the four realms of martial arts, one can still rely on physical instincts to react, and remain unscathed in the face of a opponent's fierce and violent attacks.

  At this level, in martial arts, it is almost comparable to the realm of unity between heaven and man!

  The Fifth Realm, named Miao Jing.

  Unblock the wrist acupoint, greatly increase strength, wield weapons like an extension of one's arm. Tang Lin reached the fifth realm at 14 years old, and in the Star Pavilion, he chose a long sword to practice the Seven Stars Sword Technique, making rapid progress, especially in the aspect of talisman drawing, which was effortlessly easy, and he could already draw sixth-level talismans!

  The Sixth Realm, named Wind Realm.

  Unblock the leg meridians, walk like flying, travel thousands of miles a day, and tread on steep cliffs as if on flat ground. Even the fastest horse in the world can't catch up.

  A warrior who reaches the sixth realm will have a huge leap in their body technique. When Tang Lin reached the sixth realm, his "Infinite Starry Sky" was rapidly enhanced, and he could create ten illusory shadows to attack from all ten directions at once!

  As for the seventh boundary, Tongjing, Tang Lin had not yet sensed the location of the acupoint.

  Snowflakes fluttering down, swirling and dancing in the air.

  Tang Lin wore a purple robe, standing at the edge of the white jade stone square, overlooking the demon domain below. Two years had passed, and his body had become even more mature, with knife-sharp cheekbones filled with determination, and his black eyes shone like two points of black lacquer, sparkling with spirit.

  "It's been two years in the blink of an eye." Tang Lin gazed into the distance, nostalgia in his heart, and said, "The annual family visit time has arrived, I can go back home to see my older brother and father."

  Qixing Wuguan has a family visit time every year.

  Last year when he was on a mission, Tang Lin didn't have time to go home, but this time he definitely didn't want to miss it.

  Looking at the white snow falling from the sky, Tang Lin thought of himself coming to the Wu Guan that year, it was also snowing then, he traveled for two days from his hometown and arrived in this unfamiliar capital.

  Snow is still snow.

  I don't know if people in my hometown are still doing well?

  Tang Lin thought of his father, big brother, and Song Nian who cooked for him, as well as the disciples in the martial arts hall, and a wave of longing arose in his heart.

  He immediately turned around and returned to Xing Ge.

  In the drifting white snow, only Tang Lin's body flickered a few times before suddenly disappearing into thin air. When he reappeared in the Star Pavilion, not a single flake of snow was on his body.

  Tang Lin walked into the room and let the maids tidy up their luggage. Then, he personally put the mysterious painting scroll and some insights on array techniques into the storage ring.

  "Second sister recently comprehended the 'Hundred Illusory Bodies', was summoned by the pavilion master, and probably won't have time to return home." Tang Lin left a letter on his desk, asking the butler to deliver it to his second sister, then bid farewell to the servants and maids, and arrived at the Star Pavilion entrance.

  Wow!

  The air rippled and the figure of the Red Building Master suddenly appeared, smiling lightly as he looked at Tang Lin and said, "Are you all prepared?"

  "Hmm." Tang Lin smiled and nodded.

  The red building owner grasped with his palm, rolled up Tang Lin's body and took him directly into the transmission channel, returning to the top floor of the Red Star Building.

  "This time, the visit will take a month, don't dawdle too long." The Red Building Master looked at Tang Lin and smiled lightly: "Very good, in just two short years, you've actually reached the Sixth Realm of Martial Arts. However, don't become complacent, now there's only one year left. Recently, I heard that the Purple Star Building has produced two geniuses who are extremely formidable, so be careful."

  Tang Lin smiled and said, "I will try my best."

  ……

  After leaving the Red Star Building, Tang Lin did not see Zhao Zi'er and others in the martial arts arena, most likely because they had already increased their strength and gone to a higher-level star building.

  After leaving the martial arts hall, Tang Lin did not hire a carriage and instead stored his luggage in a storage ring. He bought some local specialties in the city and left the capital to find a secluded place where he could use his movement technique to traverse mountains and ridges as swiftly as a horse.

  "With my current speed, I can reach home in half a day." Tang Lin ran wildly, feeling the lightness of the wind and filled with a sense of freedom.

  "I don't know how Father is, these two years have passed without sending a letter back home, he must be very worried." Tang Lin's heart was filled with longing, and he adjusted the speed to its fastest degree.

  "According to the hierarchy in 'Endless Starry Sky', I am at the tenth level of Phantom Body. If I can reach the hundredth level, my speed should be even faster. I'm afraid it would take less than an hour to get back home. And if I were at the thousandth level... such a speed is unimaginable."

  "In the entire Star Pavilion, it's said that only eight people can achieve the Hundred Phantom Body. Now, with Second Sister added to the list, there are only nine people who have achieved this feat. However, not a single person has reached the Thousand Phantom Body, not even the Pavilion Master, who has only cultivated the 'Endless Starry Sky' up to the second layer."

  ……

  Longxiang City

  Tang Lin could see the magnificent city wall from afar, he was panting heavily, having come from the capital to Longxiang City, which spanned almost half of the Cangxue Dynasty. If it were an ordinary warrior in the sixth realm, they would probably be unable to bear it even if they ran halfway. Despite his immense strength, Tang Lin couldn't help but gasp for air.

  Whoosh!

  Tang Lin's figure flashed, and he arrived at the city gate. He walked along the city gate and entered, looking at the familiar streets, feeling as if he had returned to two years ago, breathing in the familiar air, everything was so nostalgic.

  Tang Lin went to the Chongyang Wuguan.

  He saw a huge mansion from afar, but the sign above the door was not "Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall". Tang Lin hesitated for a moment and immediately grabbed a passerby to ask: "Where is Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall?"

  When he saw Tang Lin, he asked about the Chunyang Martial Arts Hall. His expression immediately became gentle and warm, and he smiled: "You want to join the Chunyang Martial Arts Hall, right? Just walk forward and you'll be there. The Chunyang Martial Arts Hall is the largest martial arts hall in Longxiang City. If you want to join, you must work hard..."

  Tang Lin expressed his gratitude and immediately released his hand, walking in the direction he had pointed. Before long, on the most prosperous street, he saw a luxurious and noble mansion.

  Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall!

  Tang Lin's emotions surged, he hadn't expected that two years would pass and his home would become so good, he immediately walked quickly away.

  "Are you here to sign up?" The several guards at the entrance saw Tang Lin and immediately had one of them step out, blocking Tang Lin's path.

  Tang Lin was just about to speak, but the man continued laughing and said: "Look at your clothes, they're very expensive. However, our martial arts school doesn't accept rich young masters. Practicing martial arts is very hard work. How about this, you give me some consolation money and I'll go make things easier for you."

  Tang Lin furrowed his brow.

  "What, you don't want to give?" The guard's face sank.

  Just at this time ——

  A woman walked out from outside, the guard saw her and immediately changed to a smiling face, respectfully saying: "Sixth sister, you're back, please come in quickly...... Hey, kid, don't block the way!" The latter sentence was obviously directed at Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin turned his head to look, a beautiful woman walked straight over, her frosty face with a few points of cold pride, didn't even glance at Tang Lin, and walked straight past him.

  After the elegant woman left, the guard turned his head and frowned at Tang Lin, saying: "If you want to sign up, pay the money. Otherwise, get out of here and don't block the road."

  Tang Lin glanced at him and walked directly towards the main gate.

  "You little brat, you're looking for death!" The guard shouted angrily, and several guards on either side of him clenched their fists and charged at Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin didn't even glance at him and slowly walked away.

  These few people punched down heavily, but Tang Lin didn't walk fast, yet they couldn't even touch his hem, and everyone suspected that their eyes were seeing flowers.

  Tang Lin walked into the gate and saw a vast martial arts field with over a thousand people standing on it, more than ten instructors were guiding them in front of these people, some movements were not standard, some were slack and slow, etc.

  At this time, several guards behind Tang Lin rushed up together. Tang Lin's back seemed to have eyes, and his body dodged to one side. These people all fell on the doorsill, crying out in pain. Some got up and continued to rush at Tang Lin.

  "Halt!" A thunderous shout of anger suddenly exploded in the martial arts arena.

  All he saw was a burly middle-aged man, who flashed his body and came to Tang Lin's face, looking at Tang Lin with surprise, saying: "It's really you, Third Master!"

  Tang Lin looked at him with suspicion.

  "Third Master, have you forgotten? I'm Old Zhou!" The burly middle-aged man hastily pointed at himself.

  Tang Lin suddenly realized and laughed: "You are Uncle Zhou."

  "Really!" The middle-aged man looked at Tang Lin with surprise and said: "Third Master, you've actually come back, that's great!"

  Tang Lin smiled slightly.

  At this time, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at several guards at the door, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Are you blind? You don't even recognize the third young master?"

  Several guards at the gate stared wide-eyed and looked at Tang Lin with incredulity, almost everyone in the martial arts hall knew that the entire Pure Yang Martial Hall was able to become so powerful today, all thanks to the Third Young Master. As for what the Third Young Master looked like, however, not many people had seen him.

  Some people who had seen Tang Lin two years ago, at this moment, two years have passed, the impression has also faded, and Tang Lin looks more mature, for a while, they didn't remember.

  Thinking of the previous impolite words, several guards were covered in cold sweat and quickly knelt down: "Third Master, I heard you are a martial artist. You are magnanimous, so please bypass us. It's our fault for being blind..."

  Tang Lin didn't even glance at them, and said to Uncle Zhou, "Let them go down, don't let them appear in the martial arts hall again."

  "Get out of here quickly!" Uncle Zhou shouted loudly.
