Chapter 302: Xu Liben, the Flexible and Adaptable Man
Xu Liben regretted it!
He never thought that Lin Ye actually gained something.
There is only one reason why it was not sent up by the clouds on time.
He felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought that Lin Ye, an outsider who also had a grudge against their Zhenwu Palace, had gained something after observing the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall.
As the sect leader, Xu Liben knew more about the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall than anyone else. Even his uncle had to break through to the Martial Saint realm before he was qualified to view the top-secret contents of the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall.
The reason why the generations of Zhenwu Temple were able to stay under the cliff was not because their blood could withstand it, but because they gained something from watching the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall in a very short period of time.
There are a total of nine patterns on the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall, but they are not fixed and will change depending on who is viewing them.
It is precisely because of this that the experience of the predecessors is useless to the later generations. The hall once tried it, where two disciples went down together, but even if they went down together, the patterns they saw were different.
The patterns on the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall vary in countless ways, but one thing remains constant: the more patterns you see, the greater the benefits you will gain.
When the founder saw the fourth picture and comprehended the four patterns, he entered the realm of Martial Saint, and then established the Zhenwu Hall, continued to observe the Zhenwu Wall, and finally saw the fifth picture.
Since the founder, the disciples of all generations have only seen the third painting at most, and no one has seen the third or fourth painting like the founder.
The first painting only took one hour.
The second painting will take a day.
The third painting will take a year.
The fourth painting will take ten years.
Xu Liben had a sullen face, and the other warriors at the scene were no longer chatting and laughing as before, but were just communicating in low voices.
"Mr. Lin hasn't come up yet, so it's very likely that he'll have a chance to observe the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall."
"Didn't Sect Master Xu just say that a quarter of an hour is the limit? Now a quarter of an hour has passed, so there must be an opportunity."
"If that's the case, then wouldn't Zhenwu Hall be at a loss this time, making wedding clothes for others?"
The corner of Xu Liben's mouth twitched. Although these warriors were communicating in a very low voice, he could hear it clearly with his hearing ability.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"Wait, since he has the opportunity to observe the first picture, he is lucky."
It’s just the first picture. Nine people in the history of Zhenwu Temple have also seen it. There’s nothing to be jealous of.
…
…
An hour later.
At the bottom of the cliff, Lin Ye, who was sitting on the lotus platform, was surrounded by a layer of purple halo. If you look closely, you can find that this halo is not purple. The reason why it is purple is because there are wisps of purple light in the halo surrounding Lin Ye.
On the stone wall, the light of the word "Wu" in the first pattern completely dimmed, and the word "Wu" was drawn into the stone wall and disappeared.
At the same time, Lin Ye opened his eyes.
Standing up, Lin Ye punched out.
This punch did not have any wind, as if it was weak and powerless. However, a moment later, the cloud and mist in front of Lin Ye evaporated directly.
The clouds and mist within a radius of ten meters suddenly dissipated without any signs, and the word "Wu" that had originally disappeared on the stone wall reappeared, but this time it was shining with green light.
The word "Wu" flashed by, and Lin Ye looked at his fist with a look of satisfaction on his face.
The understanding of martial arts in this hour was equal to all the insights he had gained over the years since he embarked on the martial arts path.
Of course, this refers to the growth in perception rather than strength.
The benefits brought by this kind of perception are obvious. In the past, he could not see the loopholes in low-level martial arts techniques such as Tiger Roar Power and Thunder Sun Break, but this time he was able to see many of the existing flaws.
With the insights gained this time, he perfected the Tiger Roaring Force and Thunder Yang Break, especially the Thunder Yang Break. If it was originally just a low-level martial art in the Jingzhe Realm, it can now at least be considered a high-level martial art in the Jingzhe Realm.
The same tiger roar punch now has twice the power as before.
But this is not the biggest gain of Lin Ye's enlightenment this time. The biggest gain of this enlightenment is his modification of Lei Yang Po Gong Fa.
The founder of Lei Yang Po's martial art simply used the power of thunder to break through to the Jingzhe realm, but this thunder power was not fully digested, or it could be said that it was not used at all.
Now that he has modified Lei Yang Po, each of his punches and palms will have a ray of thunder power. Although this thunder power is still very weak now, with time and as his strength increases, this thunder power will become a powerful weapon against the enemy.
Lin Ye stared at the stone wall with sharp eyes. The first pattern had brought such a huge boost to his strength, and he was now looking forward to the second pattern.
When he looked at the stone wall, the human-shaped lines on the stone wall disappeared, and another pattern appeared in its place.
The second pattern is still lines.
When seeing these lines, what came to Lin Ye’s mind were tadpoles.
Staring at the tadpole, it seemed as if the tadpole also appeared inside Lin Ye's body, swimming around in his body, and his muscles and bones roared wherever they went.
Bang bang bang!
Lin Ye's muscles and bones exploded, resounding like thunder.
Strengthen bones!
Inexplicably, Lin Ye thought of this word.
In fact, when one embarks on the path of a warrior, one must start to strengthen the bones, and it is not considered complete until one enters the Jingzhe realm.
And now, with the help of this tadpole, Lin Ye began to strengthen his bones once again.
But unlike the bone tempering before the Jingzhe realm, Lin Ye prefers to call this bone tempering and marrow refining.
When the tadpole broke through his bone joints, a stream of heat flowed to the bones. It was warm at first, but later became scorching hot. Lin Ye felt that his bones were like iron embryos thrown into a furnace for forging.
The intense pain caused beads of sweat to appear on his forehead, first on his face and then all over his body. His entire face became distorted due to the pain.
However, the tadpole in his body did not stop. After breaking through one joint, it quickly moved towards the next joint. Lin Ye had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.
…
…
Mountain top.
Xu Liben couldn't sit still this time!
An hour and a half passed.
This means that Lin Ye has finished looking at the first picture and is now looking at the second picture.
Xu Liben stood up, and this time everyone's eyes were on him. However, he didn't care about that now and walked to the edge of the cliff.
In front of him was a cliff covered with clouds and mist. The thick clouds blocked his vision. In the clouds, the vision range for those below the Martial Saint was only three meters.
"Uncle Master, what's this, Master?"
Yang Sheng looked at his uncle-master. He didn't know the viewing time for each pattern on the Zhenwu Wall. In his opinion, Lin Ye was just lucky and was currently viewing the first painting.
"I'm afraid you made a mistake this time, brother." Zhang Hong saw Yang Sheng's puzzled look and explained in a low voice, "The observation time of each pattern on the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall is limited. The first pattern can be observed for a maximum of one hour. Once the first hour is exceeded, it means that you have gained an opportunity from the first pattern, and then you can observe the second pattern."
"Uncle-master, what do you mean?" Yang Sheng opened his mouth in shock. He couldn't believe the conclusion he drew from his uncle's words.
Zhang Hong gave Yang Sheng a look that said "that's what you were thinking."
"On... on what grounds?"
Yang Sheng couldn't accept it. Over the years, only nine people in their Zhenwu Hall had gained something from observing the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall, but Lin Ye not only gained something, he also started to observe the second picture.
"Master Lin has a connection with my Zhenwu Palace."
Xu Liben turned around, not caring that his disciple's mouth was wide open enough to swallow an egg because of what he said, and said loudly: "My great-grandmaster said that if anyone can comprehend two patterns, he can become a guest elder of my Zhenwu Hall. If he can comprehend three patterns, he can directly become an elder of my Zhenwu Hall."
The warriors at the scene all looked strange because of Xu Liben's words.
Detailed news about the feud between Lin Ye and Zhenwu Palace had already spread in the city early this morning. All the warriors present knew that Zhenwu Palace had suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin Ye.
The two disciples of Patriarch Xu, plus that of the marquis, should be all three disciples who died at the hands of Lin Ye. This is already a deep hatred.
That’s not all. Lin Ye also forced the Zhenwu Palace to compensate him and apologize. This matter could not be concealed and would definitely get out. The prestige that the Zhenwu Palace had accumulated over the years would probably be greatly reduced as a result.
Patriarch Xu was probably thinking of eating Lin Ye alive.
It is because everyone knows this that they are shocked by Xu Liben’s words.
Can Master Xu let go of his hatred?
Lin Ye had his disciple killed and he also blackmailed them, but now they want Lin Ye to become a guest elder of their Zhenwu Hall.
Some young warriors looked at Xu Liben with mocking eyes.
In their opinion, Xu Liben's actions brought shame to Zhenwu Temple and discredited it.
Then, those old men were secretly alert in their hearts at this moment. They were able to bend and stretch, and this was not just personal flexibility, but involved the entire Zhenwu Palace.
This Master Xu is no ordinary person.
Based on Master Xu's character alone, the future of Zhenwu Palace will definitely not be bad.
The different ideas of the old and the young are also vividly reflected in Zhang Hong and Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng was incredulous and dissatisfied, but Zhang Hong pondered for a moment and then nodded in approval.
Brother, this decision is right.
Although several of his fellow apprentices had attacked Lin Ye, he was not injured. Moreover, Lin Ye had gained something from the Zhenwu Transmission Wall, so he had to accept the favor from the Zhenwu Palace.
Therefore, as long as their Zhenwu Palace is willing to let go of their hatred and not care about it, Lin Ye has no reason to be their enemy.
As for being embarrassed, the most important thing for a sect is strength. As for face, as long as the strength is sufficient, face will naturally come.
The fact that Lin Ye was able to observe the second pattern on the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall already demonstrated his potential.
It takes dignity to recruit a peerless genius. If he were his senior brother, he would make the same choice. The difference is that he may need to think carefully before making a decision, while his senior brother is very decisive.
In this regard, he is no match for his senior brother.
