Chapter 796: Chapter 796: Beating Up The Hall Master Descendant
âThe King of the East Pole has spoken; the Pill Alliance will participate in the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries,â Elder Tianjun said.
Upon hearing this, everyone present tensed up, and some fell into deep thought.
This was indeed a heavy piece of news that caught all the hall masters off guard.
Why was the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries being initiated? The Three Emperors couldnât hold a Talent Battle of the Nine Countries for no reason, there had to be some motivation behind this decision.
Furthermore, the attitude of the King of the East Pole was worthy of consideration, pulling the Pill Alliance into the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries. Did they intend for the talented ones among the Pill Alliance to compete with the talents from the Nine Countries?
The talents of the Pill Alliance were good at pill refining, but competing with the talents of the Nine Countries in martial arts seemed somewhat disadvantageous.
âThe initiation of the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries; are the Three Emperors attempting to reshuffle the Nine Countries?â a hall master proposed.
âI guess, this might be related to the Seven Seas,â said Elder Tianjun.
âRelated to the Seven Seas? Could it be that the Three Emperors felt threatened by the Seven Seas, and so decided to hold the Talent Battle of the Nine Countries to select the most talented to conquer the Seven Seas?â Everyone jumped at this possibility.
Even though the Nine Countries and the Seven Seas were separated by a vast ocean, a physical barrier like the ocean wouldnât be enough to stop the powerhouses of both places if a conflict were to occur.
Despite the peaceful coexistence of the Nine Countries and the Seven Seas at present, this didnât mean that a war wouldnât break out in the future.
The news of the upcoming Talent Battle of the Nine Countries, combined with the recent rise of the three sects in the Seven Seas, suggested that war might be drawing near.

Inside the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area, amid ruins of crumbling walls, three figures stood, maintaining a standoff. The air was dense with tension.
Among the three was the young man in grand attire who had previously been injured by Fang Lin. His injuries, however, had surprisingly fully healed, showing no signs of damage.
Of the other two, one was a stern man dressed in black with a mature face, and the other was a veiled woman, her beauty indistinguishable behind her veil.
There werenât any valuable relics in these ruins to prompt such a standoff, but under a fractured stone column not far away grew a Black Jade Blood Spirit Flower.
The trioâs standoff was due to this Black Jade Blood Spirit Flower; none of them wanted to forgo this rare treasure.
âThe two of you, I discovered this Black Jade Blood Spirit Flower first. Donât you think itâs too much to try to seize it like this?â The veiled woman spoke up in a crisp voice that rang like an orioleâs song, yet also held a touch of anger.
âHmph! With natural treasures, itâs finders keepers. Who said the first one to see it is the owner? I could also say itâs something I found,â the man in black sneered, his eyes flashing dangerously.
The grandly attired young man remained silent, his gaze intermittently drifting to the Black Jade Blood Spirit Flower within the crack, seemingly seeking an opportunity to act.
However, none dared to act rashly since they were all aware of each otherâs strengths from previous clashes.
The veiled woman was powerful and could overpower the young man in the grand attire or the man in black, but she would likely lose in a two-against-one fight.
Both the young man in grand attire and the man in black were wary, unable to gang up against the veiled woman. Thus, they ended up in a deadlock.
âOh my, what are you three doing standing here?â laughter rang through the air, causing the trioâs hearts to sink, especially that of the young man in grand attire. He recognized the voice, his face turning pale instantly.
Fang Lin appeared with a grin on his face, standing at a higher spot as if enjoying a good show, his eyes sweeping over the three people.
âOh, youâre here too. Iâve been looking for you for a while.â Upon spotting the young man in grand attire, Fang Linâs smile widened.
The young manâs heart fluttered with unease, how did he run into this nemesis of his again? Their last encounter left him half-dead. If not for a valuable treasure that he had on hand, which proved to be a distraction, he would have been beaten to death.
Although his injuries had healed, seeing Fang Lin appear again made the young man feel some phantom pains.
âWhoever you are, get lost!â the man in black snarled, taking no notice of the young Fang Lin.
Upon hearing that, the young man in grand attire was filled with glee. Only he knew about Fang Linâs real prowess. How dare this man in black speak so impudently to Fang Lin? Was he asking for death?
As expected, Fang Linâs smile vanished. He began to stride slowly toward the black-clad man.
âDidnât you hear what I just said? Do you want to die?â The man in black was irked, he didnât want to waste his time on a brat like this.
âWith such a foul mouth, I wonât feel at ease unless I give you a couple of slaps.â With a swift movement from Fang Lin, he was in front of the man as if he had teleported.
âSo fast!â
Everyone at the scene was astounded, especially the veiled woman, who had been closely observing Fang Lin, yet failed to catch his movements.
Bang!
With a swift punch that the man couldnât dodge, he was sent flying by Fang Linâs blow.
There was a cracking sound, and the manâs right arm twisted grotesquely, clearly broken.
Without giving the man a chance to retaliate, Fang Lin rushed forward and landed a flurry of punches on him. The sounds of flesh being pounded filled everyone with dread.
It was a completely one-sided fight. The man was not weak, but he didnât stand a chance against Fang Lin.
âThis man, heâs so strong?â The veiled woman was astounded. She had great faith in her abilities and didnât think sheâd encounter many challengers among the hall master descendants. Yet, the young man before her had such terrifying strength.
âStop, stop beating me.â The man in black cried out, completely stupefied by Fang Linâs assault.
Fang Lin held him by the cuff, slapped him hard on the face a couple of times, the sound of the slaps sharp and resonant.
The man in blackâs eyes flashed with resentment and madness. As a Hall Master Descendant, he was in pain from Fang Linâs hard beatings and naturally couldnât tolerate it.
The man in black reached for his Nine Palace Bag, intending to use a trump card against his opponent.
But Fang Lin reacted quickly, grabbing the manâs wrist and with a sudden force, crushed it.
âAaahhh!!!â The man in black screamed. Both his hands hung limply by his sides, rendering him incapable of using the treasure within his Nine Palace Bag.
âWell, look at you, in such a sorry state. Thatâs why itâs important to mind your manners, instead of having such a foul mouth.â Fang Lin said, tossing the man aside.
Next, Fang Lin turned his gaze to the other two.
The young man in grand attire and the veiled woman both felt a chill run down their spines, a feeling of fear creeping over them.
