Chapter 1030: Chapter 1029: The Plan Chapter 1030: Chapter 1029: The Plan Qing Nation had ten large cities where the Talent Battles were held simultaneously, and each city wound up with only fifty people remaining. They then gathered in Qin Capital for the next round of the Talent Battles.
The Talent Battle in Sea Moon City had ended, and the top fifty contenders were finally determined.
As most people had anticipated, there were not many surprises, except for the unexpected defeat of Ling Wushuang.
Many had previously expected Ling Wushuang to definitely make it into the top fifty and advance to Qin Capital for the next round of Talent Battles.
However, no one expected Ling Wushuang to lose to Fang Lin, especially in such a disastrous manner.
In fact, losing to Fang Lin didnât greatly impact Ling Wushuangâs ranking among the top five hundred talents. Even with the loss, she could have easily remained within the top fifty.
But Fang Lin had cruelly broken both of Ling Wushuangâs legs, severely injuring her.
As a result, even with her considerable skills, Ling Wushuang could no longer participate in the Talent Battles and had to withdraw with resentment.
This was why the Ling Family was so furious, with the Head of the Ling Family immediately going to Elder Tiankui to demand an explanation.
The other talents, including Jian Qingshan, Shen Fan, Princess Yun Lan, and Ying Xinghe, were all solidly ranked within the top fifty.
Topping the list was Jian Qingshan.
Jian Qingshan had not lost a single match and had defeated the formidable opponent, Ying Xinghe, thus earning him the first place.
Although Shen Fan and Princess Yun Lan had also not lost any matches, they had not faced an opponent of Ying Xingheâs caliber, so they ranked after Jian Qingshan.
There was one person, however, whose ranking astonishingly high â Fang Lin.
Fang Linâs ranking was right behind Jian Qingshan, even well ahead of Shen Fan and Princess Yun Lan.
The reason was straightforward: Fang Lin had defeated the formidable Ling Wushuang and had not lost any matches, affording him this position.
While some people disagreed with Fang Lin ranking so high, most martial artists felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Especially after Fang Lin had activated his Heavenly Eye, his strength had become difficult to describe with common sense. He had also fought Wuyan together with the other three top talents, sufficiently proving his prowess.
Fang Lin was also the only talent ranked in the top ten who was still in the Spirit Vein realm, with all others in the top ten being in the Spirit Bone realm.
The event in Sea Moon City wrapped up, and the martial artists who came from all directions began leaving Sea Moon City.
The place, once bustling with crowds, finally started regaining its usual tranquility.
Most of the five hundred talents also left Sea Moon City, while those who placed in the top fifty remained temporarily.
Almost as soon as the Talent Battle concluded, the news about the battle between the talents of Sea Moon City and those from the Seven Seas spread throughout the Nine Countries.
Initially, many in the Nine Countries found it hard to believe that just two or three people from the Seven Seas could so easily suppress the numerous talents of Sea Moon City.
But as more and more people left Sea Moon City and rumors multiplied, some even documented everything that happened using various means.
Thus, the martial artists of the Nine Countries eventually came to believe these events.
âWho would have thought that the Seven Seas harbor such formidable talents, with one individual capable of fighting against the four great talents of our Nine Countries?â
âThis is too embarrassing. Four against one and still not winning?â
âBut didnât we also not lose?â
âNot lose? Four against one, and you call that not losing? Even if we won, it would still be shameful!â
âSigh, but that Wuyan is indeed formidable, probably a disciple of the strongest in the Seven Seas.â
âIt turns out that Fang Lin is not only a Master of Pill but also a genius in Martial Arts!â
âItâs incredible, how much energy does he have to devote to both Alchemy and Martial Arts simultaneously?â
âOpening the Heavenly Eye at the Spirit Vein realm? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Itâs unbelievable!â
âI am convinced now; it seems that Master Fangâs future achievements are unimaginable.â
âThatâs not necessarily true; both the paths of Martial Arts and Alchemy are profound and complex. Itâs extremely difficult to master even one, let alone both.â
âThatâs right, there are actually quite a few who practice both Alchemy and Martial Arts, but how many of them truly succeed?â
âThe saying âJack of all trades, master of noneâ is well known; maybe Fang Lin is just that.â
âHaha, isnât opening the Heavenly Eye at the Spirit Vein realm enough to prove his exceptional talent?â
·····
The Nine Countries are always in turmoil, never peaceful.
In Sea Moon City, Fang Lin was sitting crossed-legged in a secret room, cultivating quietly with a clear mind.
After the tournament in Sea Moon City and having crossed hands with the top talents of the Seven Seas, Fang Lin gained a completely new understanding of his own strength.
Without using his full capabilities or trump cards, Fang Linâs strength could indeed rival that of talents like Jian Qingshan, and he even had a chance to overcome them.
Moreover, he had now opened his Heavenly Eye, which was a significant advantage.
But were talents like Jian Qingshan truly among the top of the Nine Countries?
Absolutely not!
Although Fang Lin hadnât interacted much with the many talents of the Nine Countries, he was far from ignorant.
Within the Upper Three Countries, several young powerhouses possessed unfathomable strength, every one of them invincible in their own right.
This time, being assigned to Sea Moon City was indeed somewhat lucky for Fang Lin; had he been assigned to another city, he might have encountered those formidable individuals.
And the next round of the Talent Battle, although still a while away, undoubtedly wouldnât involve luck for Fang Lin any longer.
Or, one could say, no one would have any more luck; all the talents would gather in Qin Capital for the most direct clash and engagement.
Before this, Fang Lin still needed to improve himself, even with the Heavenly Eye opened, he couldnât afford to be complacent, as no one could guarantee that among the many talents of the Nine Countries, there werenât others who had also opened the Heavenly Eye.
There are many ways to improve, and after much thought, Fang Lin decided to go to a particular place.
···
Dugu Nianâs injuries had recovered a lot, as Fang Lin had used numerous Ancient medicinal herbs to hasten her healing much more than initially expected.
Of course, Dugu Nian had already been eliminated; Mengxian intended to bring Dugu Nian back to Tiankui Pavilion for recuperation.
âYouâre going to Chaos Demon Valley?â Mengxian frowned slightly, looking at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin nodded, âI want to go there for a while, to temper myself.â
Mengxian spoke with worry, âDo you know that the Demon Beast race has been restless recently? Although Chaos Demon Valley is not a major stronghold of the Demon Beasts, changes might still have occurred.â
Fang Lin replied, âIâm just practicing on the periphery; I wonât go deep. Plus, even if I encounter dangers, I have ways to escape.â
Seeing Fang Lin so determined, Mengxian no longer tried to persuade him and nodded in agreement.
