Rise Against Desperation

0The wind blew away the sprouts of the trees, revealing his confident look and his appearance.    

    

Back then, Lin Hu was known to everyone in the Lin Clan.    

    

The moment the wind blew his hair away, some of the outer disciples of the Lin Clan's prefectural city wall revealed thoughtful expressions.    

    

"It's actually him, the former genius of the past, the trash Lin Hua."    

    

"Forest Bud?" the trash who came to fight a life and death battle with a core disciple? "    

    

"Is his meridians ready?" "If not, how would he dare to meet with us?"    

    

"Impossible!" If a warrior's meridians are crippled, then it is impossible to repair it unless a Martial King uses the Heaven and Earth Martial Qi to nourish it. "    

    

"Ahh, although he's here to die, I quite admire his courage."    

    

Lin Hua's spiritual sense was extremely sharp. When he stepped on the Golden Lion Bird and flew into the city, he could also hear these people talking about him.    

    

However, he did not care because the fact that his meridians were repaired was inconceivable. He had already thought of an excuse and the mysterious expert casually tapped the space between his eyebrows. Then, his meridians began to slowly recover.    

    

"Senior brother Lin Yue, this brat is dead for sure once he enters the city. Look at that girl standing next to her, you have a chance."    

    

Lin Yue looked at the purple pupils with a few glances, although he was a little fearful.    

    

However, Zi Tong's beauty still attracted his attention, making the greed in his eyes even more obvious.    

    

"After arriving at the Lin Clan Residence, I advise you to listen to me obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for using other moves to deal with you."    

    

After muttering to himself, he stopped sizing up Zi Tong and turned his head away.    

    

"Once Lin Dong returns, give me some of that medicine."    

    

"Alright, Senior Brother Lin Yue. You can rest assured that you'll have the medicine with you. I promise you that you'll be able to capture it with ease."    

    

The two of them whispered to each other. They could not send a mental message to each other before they reached the Martial Spirit Realm. However, their words were naturally heard by Zi Tong, who was a Martial Spirit Realm expert.    

    

She did not pay attention to this and secretly clenched her fists. The corner of her mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a playful smile.    

    

Upon entering the outer city walls, a strong wind of martial arts instantly blew over. This was one of the reasons why the Lin Clan's residence could stand tall and sturdy within the Cloud City's three great clans.    

    

The Lin Family disciples focused on martial arts. When they rode on flying Spiritual Beasts and passed by the Zong Residence, they would always see young people fighting. Of course, they would only stop when they were told to.    

    

"Since young, the Lin Family disciples have had to undergo actual combat and then be sent to the Spirit Beast Mountain to undergo life-and-death training."    

    

The moment she mentioned Spirit Beast Mountain, Lin Mei paused for a moment before looking at the forest bud.    

    

"Senior sister, there's no harm. That's all in the past."    

    

Seeing Lin Mei's words coming to a halt, Lin Hu smiled faintly, not paying attention to what had happened in the past.    

    

Looking at the thick martial wind in the Zong Residence, Scarface must have grown up step by step in this environment. He must have had more experience in life-and-death battles than him.    

    

However, he had fought with a monster level genius like Zi Tong before, so he didn't care much about the battle to the death with the scarred face, instead, his gaze was focused on the Evil Soul Master.    

    

As for Lin Hua, he was an important figure within the Lin Clan. Although he was not at the level of an elder, he was still a hall master.    

    

Lin Hua was once afraid that once he displayed his talent, he would attract the attention of this old rogue.    

    

However, he was no longer the same as before. His lack of combat experience had caused all his meridians to be shattered.    

    

Currently, his ability to protect himself had greatly increased compared to before. Furthermore, the Lin Clan had a rule that the Lin Clan could not kill each other. Otherwise, they would be punished by the clan law.    

    

There was once an elder who casually killed an outer court disciple. Originally, he thought that they would be safe, but later on this elder's cultivation was crippled by the clan leader as a sign of family law.    

    

Lin Hu believed that if he were to enter the core or even the inner sect, he would definitely be heavily protected, so he was not too worried about this old thief.    

    

After flying for two hours, they finally saw the Lin Clan's Martial Stage.    

    

Although the distance was large, one could still see the sea of people at this time.    

    

The training platform had a height of ten meters and a width of fifty meters. It was a large platform that could hold over a hundred people at the same time.    

    

The figures below were all disciples of the Lin Clan, and they were divided into genders.    

    

These figures were all under the age of eighteen. As for those sitting on the Martial Stage, there were dozens of majestic figures.    

    

At a glance, one could tell that they were unfathomably deep. These people were all the leaders of the Lin Clan's estate.    

    

"According to the rules, Lin Hu, you are to first go to the seat reserved for service disciples."    

    

"Sister Lin Mei, can't we start the life-and-death battle directly?"    

    

Lin Hu was puzzled and looked at Lin Mei.    

    

"In the battle to the death in a moment, you should be able to meet Lin He. At that time, we will naturally begin."    

    

Lin Hu nodded. Since it was the last line, he used it to familiarize himself with the battle.    

    

Seeing Lin Hu nod, Lin Mei and Lin Zhu parted ways, taking their purple pupils with them.    

    

"Lin Zhu is leaving with me. She needs to go through the experiment with the polygraph."    

    

Lin Hu did not explain to Lin Hua what the polygraph was, and left with Zi Tong. Lin Hu was completely at ease with the mysterious purple pupil; he had nothing to worry about if he could escape from a legendary Martial King.    

    

Lin Hu no longer looked at the sea of people around him. He looked at the janitor disciples' seats and sighed. They were truly divided into three or nine grades.    

    

Seeing this scene, Lin Hua truly experienced what it meant to be 'level six'.    

    

There were around one hundred core disciples and the chairs they sat on were made of cork. The outer sect disciples were divided into ten big benches, with about five hundred people in each group.    

    

As for the service disciples …

"F * ck you, don't push me. I'll worry about who's squeezing me."    

    

"Who's squeezing you? Is it because I'm afraid of you in this competition?"    

    

"What is there to argue about? Everyone here clears vegetables and picks medicine. They're kind and make money!" "Peace makes wealth!"    

    

A large piece of stone ground was crowded around them, so Lin Hu could only helplessly squeeze into a corner.    

    

However, at this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Lin Hua followed his gaze and looked over.    

    

"Look! That's the chief's daughter, Lin Caixuan! She's so beautiful!"    

    

On the side of the core disciples, a slender girl walked out gracefully with graceful steps.    

    

He was dressed in red with a graceful figure, with 3000 strands of black hair hanging at his waist, and the red ribbon hanging from his waist was tied to one point.    

    

She had a cherry red mouth under her nose, and her smile was accompanied by a phoenix eye, showing off her feminine charm.    

    

Seated at the highest point of his life when he stepped into the core disciples' seating area, the pretty eyebrows and fair makeup girl quietly sat down.    

    

Seeing this woman, Lin Hu was reminded of the memories of two years ago.    

    

When he was twelve years old, he was favored by the family head for shaking up the Lin Family's martial arts achievements. He wanted to betroth his children to Lin Yuan, and the girl who was close to him was Lin Caixuan.    

    

They had been together for a while, and Lin Caixuan was a very understanding girl in his mind.    

    

After his meridians had been crippled, he went to find Lin Caixuan, but she rejected him, saying, "I don't want to have anything to do with trash."    

    

Only now did Lin Hu know that there was no true love in Lin Zong's manor. What she valued was his talent, and after that, Lin Hu was assigned a service disciple, who was then bullied by Lin Fei and the rest for two years.    

    

"I heard that Senior Sister Lin Caixuan has already reached the peak of Stage Ten Martial Disciple. She's just fourteen years old, and yet she's already so powerful."    

    

"Yes, but I heard that the number one genius under the age of sixteen is not senior Lin Caixuan."    

    

"Oh, who is that? "Could it be Senior-apprentice Brother Lin Nantian?"    

    

"That's right!" "I heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Lin Nantian's Raging Tide Spear Technique has been practiced to the Initial Stage. None of the disciples under the age of 16 are his match."    

    

"Humph!" "It's just a rumor. I still like senior sister Lin Caixuan. Although she hasn't fought very many times, I heard that she's mastered the Swift Wind Whip to a point where no one can defend against it."    

    

"I feel like Senior Brother Lin Wushuang is the strongest one here. He is quiet and only focused on his training."    

    

"It seems that you have forgotten one person. Two years ago, Lin Hua was a martial artist of Stage Ten at the age of twelve. He is now a service disciple like us."    

    

After many people heard this, they went silent for a moment, then burst into laughter. "No matter what, going to the Spirit Beast Mountain in actual combat will cause one's meridians to be crippled by the spirit beasts. It seems that they are born to be useless."    

    

Ignoring the discussions around her, Lin Yu closed his eyes and waited for the clan gathering to begin.    

    

Seemingly sensing Lin Hu's gaze, Lin Caixuan looked at the service disciples' area, which had more than a thousand people. Then, she saw Lin Zhu sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.    

    

With a slight raise of her delicate eyebrows, she turned around and continued to discuss with the core disciples beside her. Occasionally, her smile would make many outer disciples and service disciples salivate.    

    

Having seen the beauty of Purple Eye, Lin Caixuan was nothing in Lin Hua's eyes, so she didn't pay much attention to him.    

    

As Lin Caixuan spoke, she glanced at Lin Hua who was sitting cross-legged from time to time. After that, she would furrow her eyebrows.    

    

"Strange, could it be him?"    

    

Once, Lin Zhu was delicate and pretty, with clean and neat short hair and a pair of innocent eyes that seemed to be ignorant of the affairs of the world.    

    

Because his appearance had not been sorted out, his hair was currently in disarray, and his skin was bronze in color. His figure was well-built, full of energy, and his tattered clothes occasionally showed lines crisscrossing each other.    

    

When the surrounding service disciples saw him being so sloppy, they wanted to chase him away.    

    

But every now and then, he would close his mouth when he saw the lines of his muscles, and then he would look at Lin Hu who was always silent with his eyes closed, knowing that this person was not to be trifled with and hence did not berate him for his slovenliness.    

    

After three months of hard training, Lin Zhu's eyes revealed resolution under his sword-like eyebrows, which was very different from his previous appearance. The so-called 'three, six, nine' class was far from the core disciples, so Lin Caixuan didn't notice, but from the side she could tell that Lin Caixuan's spiritual sense was very strong.    

    

The surrounding core disciples seemed to have noticed that something was off with Lin Caixuan. They then asked, "What's wrong with Caixuan?"    

    

"I'm fine." After smiling and replying, he stopped looking at where Lin Hua was.    

    

"Look, it's senior brother Lin Nantian. He's here!"    

    

A man slowly walked over. He was carrying a long spear on his back, and the corners of his mouth were curled upwards. His hair was tied behind his head, and there was a black ribbon tied to his forehead.    

    

The center of the ribbon was tied with a spear-shaped jade pendant. The jade-white face was extremely handsome, causing the girls below the stage to discuss amongst themselves.
