The Dawn Breathing Technique is extrely exhausting to practice.
Su Lin gritted his teeth each ti, forcing himself to keep practicing until his strength felt completely drained, and only when he truly couldn’t persist did he stop and pant for breath.
Once his breathing beca steady and his strength slightly recovered, he imdiately struggled to stand up again and get into position.
By the ti he attempted the third form, the Wandering Dragon Stance, he had to focus on rembering the complex details of the posture and breathing rhythm, while also squeezing out his strength to maintain the stance. Su Lin was exhausted both physically and ntally, as if completely drained.
However, it must be admitted that this Dawn Breathing Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a divine skill developed with the nation’s full resources, gathering the wisdom of geniuses from all sides!
Even just reaching the third form, although fatigued, Su Lin could clearly feel a qualitative leap happening in his physical attributes!
Each ti his strength recovered and he resud the stance, he managed to persist longer than before.
The most noticeable change was that his previously slightly rounded arms now vaguely revealed the contour of muscles.
Although not yet tested, Su Lin was sure that his strength had significantly increased compared to several hours ago!
After once again exhausting his strength to complete a round of the "Wandering Dragon Stance" paired with "Entwining Breath", Su Lin was gasping like a bull.
He tightened his right arm forcefully, looking at the muscle lines that were slightly clearer than before, and couldn’t help but smack his lips:
"Exaggerated!"
Just then, there was a burst of noise downstairs.
"Did Old Liu send soone with at?"
Su Lin’s heart stirred, imdiately thinking of the enchanting aroma of Treasure at, his Adam’s apple moved involuntarily, and saliva gathered in his mouth.
Disregarding exhaustion, he hurried downstairs.
However, the scene downstairs was unexpected, besides Xiao Lu and Liu Lu from the Gouhuo Tavern, there were two unfamiliar faces, more strikingly, the fellow Hou Yong was actually there!
Su Lin’s gaze instantly beca sharp, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as his fingers inadvertently brushed over the gun holster at his waist:
"Well, well? I thought it was soone of great stature arriving, turns out it’s my Brother Yong! What’s this? Did Brother Yong co attracted by the sll, also wanting to taste the new addition to my humble abode?"
Hou Yong was so startled that he almost lost his soul, waving his hands repeatedly:
"Oh my! Master Lin, please don’t misunderstand! It’s innocent! I just happened to run into Young Brother Lu on the way, escorting him to bring you the at!!"
"Escort?" Su Lin raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the two strangers, conveying an inquiry.
Su Tongxi hurriedly stepped forward, looking panicked:
"Brother Kirin, it’s bad! Xiao Lu just ca to deliver at, and on the way, he was surrounded by many people, almost having the Treasure at prepared by Grandpa Liu for you snatched away!"
Su Lin’s face suddenly darkened: "What’s going on?"
The frightened Liu Lu imdiately chattered, recounting the incident, and Hou Yong added intrigue and vivid details alongside.
The more Su Lin listened, the darker his expression grew, and by the ti he finished, his face was nearly dripping with water.
"Chang Sanheng... that damned villain! Right from the start, he set a trap for , for the Su Family!"
His voice was icy, instantly figuring out the crux of the matter.
Chang Sanheng sent at rely to borrow strength, to push the Su Family to the forefront, and simultaneously roast him over the fire!
Before his voice fell, there was another commotion outside, and a group of people surged in.
Su Lin looked up to see Old Man Su Can, Second Uncle Su Qi, and Grandpa Liu Jun were all here.
"Xiao Lu! Are you alright?" Liu Jun rushed in anxiously, hugging his grandson Liu Lu, and only after seeing him unhard did he release a long breath.
Liu Lu’s eyes reddened, hugging his grandfather in grievance: "Grandpa! ...I was scared to death."
Seeing this, Su Can’s anger flared up, his beard and hair standing on end, he burst out cursing:
"Chang Sanheng, that son-of-a-bitch with no conscience! I thought he sent the at as recompense, but it turned out to be a scorching hot potato!"
"First casually twisting the grave cri of his son’s gluttony into re desire! Then secretly turning the act of sending Treasure at as compensation into implied paynt for the old man’s intervention..."
Su Qi’s eyes were frigid, his voice carrying a piercing coldness, "Two unrelated things forcefully entwined! A good tactic! Truly a good tactic!"
"The old man was forced by his words, compelled to act. A re eting of upper and lower lips, black becos white, and suddenly it’s that the old man agreed because he coveted the Treasure at! What a mouth that can call a duck a mouse! Remarkable!"
The more he spoke, the more his anger turned into laughter.
Su Tongxi covered her small mouth, eyes full of horror: "How could it be like this..."
Hou Yong looked at Su Lin, then furtively glanced at Su Can, cautious as he spoke:
"But if he’s saying that... would people truly believe?"
Su Lin said coldly: "Is belief important? The point is, the Treasure at ultimately ends up in the belly of this ’trash’! Those who are blinded by envy only wish to ’believe’ in the portion that Chang Sanheng wants them to!"
He saw it clearly.
Chang Sanheng’s intertwined light and dark plots core around betting on Su Can’s favoritism towards Su Lin, seeing if the old man is willing to withstand the pressure of public opinion to insist that the Treasure at goes to Su Lin.
Even if this at was originally Chang Family’s compensation to Su Lin!
Su Can’s face was ashen, he turned and was about to walk out.
Su Qi hurriedly stopped him: "Old Man, what are you planning to do?"
"What? I’m going to twist off Chang Sanheng’s damn head!"
Su Can bared a grin, his tiger-like eyes showing fierce light, like a tiger about to devour soone.
He had never suffered such indignity before!
Su Qi sighed, helplessly saying:
"Old Man... Dad, our Su Family is no longer the feared Su Family of last year.
"If you kill Chang Sanheng now, the Search Team will lose a Martial Artist capable of unlocking Tendon Locks. At the end of the month, the risk of the Night of Survival sharply increases, and our Su Family will imdiately beco the village’s enemy!"
Su Lin opened his mouth but swallowed back the words "Just kill Chang Sanheng? Leave the rest of the Chang Family for the holidays?"
Within the rules of the safe house, if the owner dies violently, any tenants not released from the relationship or without a house contract will beco undocunted!
The Chang Family’s tenants will instantly beco a group of outlaws that could retaliate at any mont!
Su Tongxi said weakly: "Can’t we just ignore the villagers?"
Su Qi shook his head: "In these current tis, no one can detach from the collective. If ignored, the prestige our Su Family has accumulated over the years will instantly fall into the abyss, which is precisely what Chang Sanheng hopes to see."
"It takes the bell ringer to untie the bell." Su Lin stepped forward, his gaze firm, "Grandpa, Second Uncle, let handle this matter."
"You?" Su Can, Su Qi, and Liu Jun all looked at him in surprise, filled with disbelief.
Su Lin didn’t explain much.
Having only crossed over for two days, the change in his character and image had already earned his family’s trust, but the incompetence of the forr self was still deeply rooted.
Empty words change nothing, only action can prove.
This applies internally as well as externally!
Su Lin turned to Liu Jun, solemnly clasping his hands:
"Master Liu, there’s another matter to trouble you with. That Treasure at, I presu it’s not entirely processed yet?"
Liu Jun shook his head: "No, Treasure at must be cut and cooked fresh to prevent losing its efficacy."
"Then I trouble you," Su Lin’s gaze was sharp, "to bring all the remaining at to ."
Liu Jun deeply gazed at Su Lin’s steady and confident face at that mont, sighing:
"It seems... you kid truly have transford." He nodded, no longer saying much, pulled his grandson and swiftly left.
Imdiately after, Su Lin turned to his two elders, his tone steady yet carrying an indisputable force:
"Shortly, I’d like to request Grandpa and Second Uncle to stand guard for . No matter what I do or say next, please both of you... endorse !"
Su Can and Su Qi exchanged glances, seeing deep astonishnt and a touch of incredulous confusion in each other’s eyes.
And Su Lin ignored the various gazes behind him, striding out the door.
At this ti outside the house, villagers who had co with the wind had already gathered spontaneously, their eyes like hyenas fixed on him.
