After the conflict in the Back Mountain, Lin Yun's life wasn't significantly affected.
He still cultivated alone in his courtyard every day.
This kind of life might seem boring to others, but for Lin Yun, who had the task system, it was incredibly fulfilling.
As long as he cultivated, there was progress; no wasted effort, no sweat shed in vain.
Lin Yun wished he could use one day as three!
However, compared to the quietness of Lin Yun's courtyard, the clan was buzzing with lively discussions, and his name had spread throughout the clan.
Body Tempering Sixth Layer, this was the watershed.
Among the younger generation in the clan who had reached this realm, there were only three: Lin Xia, Lin Hong, and Lin Yun.
But Lin Xia and Lin Hong had the support of the Lin Clan's first and second branches, receiving more resources.
Lin Yun was an orphan, and for him to catch up to the two, others saw it as a combination of talent and effort.
Therefore, Lin Yun became a role model for the clan to learn from.
Furthermore, Lin Yun's act of standing up for Qing Tan and teaching the little tyrant Lin Shan a lesson deeply resonated with most of the clan members.
Of course, it also deeply resonated with Qing Tan.
Lin Yun was usually quiet and kept to himself. When he stepped in to teach Lin Shan a lesson, others didn't have any other thoughts. They all believed that Lin Yun simply couldn't stand by and watch, that he was hot-blooded and righteous, hating evil like a sworn enemy.
Who wouldn't like and respect such a person! Just the day after the Back Mountain conflict.
Lin Dong and Qing Tan came to thank Lin Yun. These two little ones didn't have anything valuable, so they planned to give the Crimson Sun Grass to Lin Yun.
However, Lin Yun didn't accept it. He hadn't expected any reward for his actions; he simply couldn't bear to see someone bully a little loli.
Especially such a very cute little loli.
Not only did Lin Yun not accept their spiritual medicine, but he also treated them to roasted wild boar meat.
Afterward, Lin Yun also guided Lin Dong on some cultivation issues and encouraged Qing Tan to also learn martial arts so that no one would dare to bully her when she became strong in the future.
This made Lin Dong and Qing Tan's impression of him double.
...
Repeating the same punches every day made Lin Yun's hands somewhat overloaded and in need of rest. Moreover, practicing thousands upon thousands of times made him feel a bit nauseous.
However, Lin Yun wasn't planning to stop his progress.
If he got tired of solving math problems, he would switch to physics problems.
If his hands were tired, he could train his legs! And during the hunting process before, while chasing prey, Lin Yun also discovered that his speed was slightly insufficient.
He decided to find a movement technique martial art to cultivate.
Training both legs and feet, with more variety, would ensure even exercise for all four limbs.
The Lin Clan's Martial Arts Hall was located in the backyard of the Lin Clan. It was an important area of the Lin Clan. Except for a few direct descendants who could enter directly, others could only enter with the permission of the Lin Clan's main personnel.
As for these main personnel, besides the clan head, Old Master Lin Zhentian, there were actually only two others: Lin Ken from the first branch and Lin Mang from the second branch.
As for Lin Xiao from the third branch, who was Lin Dong's father, ever since he was crippled by Lin Langtian at the clan assembly, he basically didn't manage anything.
Lin Yun, being from a collateral branch and an orphan, naturally couldn't enter directly.
He needed permission.
Lin Mang from the second branch was selfish and narrow-minded, always putting on airs and difficult to get along with. Lin Yun generally didn't interact with him.
Plus, he had just beaten up his son, so it was even more impossible to seek trouble.
So he could only find Lin Ken.
Lin Ken was humble and considerate of the overall situation. He had high prestige in the clan and was highly respected by the clan members.
Moreover, Lin Yun's parents were killed by bandits during a mission they were on, and that mission was led by Lin Ken.
Lin Ken felt somewhat guilty towards Lin Yun and had taken care of him quite a bit over the years.
The last time Lin Yun went to the Martial Arts Hall to borrow the Tongbei Fist, it was also with Lin Ken's permission.
Lin Yun went out and headed to the courtyard where Lin Ken lived.
After arriving, Lin Ken wasn't home, but his daughter Lin Xia was.
"Sister Lin Xia!" Lin Yun called out politely.
"It's Lin Yun. You're usually in seclusion cultivating. What brings you here today?" Lin Xia curiously sized up Lin Yun.
"Recently, I've been hunting outside and missed several times, feeling that my speed is insufficient. So I wanted to ask Uncle for permission to go to the Martial Arts Hall to find a movement technique martial art to cultivate," Lin Yun said truthfully.
"My father had something to do today and left early," Lin Xia said leisurely. She then changed the subject, "However, I can take you to borrow martial arts from the Martial Arts Hall."
"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Lin Xia," Lin Yun said with bright eyes.
Lin Xia said seriously, "I saw you were still using Falling Rock Fist that day. You've already broken through to the Body Tempering Sixth Layer. At this realm, first-grade martial arts are a bit insufficient. The Clan Competition is approaching. Instead of learning a movement technique martial art now, it would be better to learn a second-grade fist technique. That way, it will help you achieve a better ranking."
"Hmm." Lin Yun pondered slightly and nodded in agreement, "Sister Lin Xia, what you said makes sense. After having Origin Power, the attack power of first-grade martial arts is indeed a bit lacking. I should cultivate a second-grade martial art. However, I don't want to give up on movement technique martial arts either."
"Can I borrow two martial arts?" Lin Yun said with a smile.
Seeing Lin Yun's smile, Lin Xia was a little surprised. In her impression, ever since his parents passed away, Lin Yun had always been rigid and serious, never smiling.
"Little brother Lin Yun, you look very handsome when you smile. You should smile more in the future and open your heart. Your martial arts can improve further," Lin Xia said with a smile and concern.
Seeing Lin Yun emerge from the shadow of losing his parents and embrace a new life, as his clan sister, she was very happy to see such a change.
"Yes, Sister Lin Xia!" Lin Yun smiled slightly.
"However, if you want to cultivate two martial arts simultaneously, I'm afraid it might cause delays. Trying to learn too much at once is not good, especially since they are second-grade martial arts. With only a few months left, you might not be able to even get started," Lin Xia advised.
Lin Yun smiled faintly, "It's alright, I can first comprehend them and practice whichever is easier first."
"Hmm~ okay, but before you go to the Martial Arts Hall, can you let your sister test your foundation?" Lin Xia suddenly suggested.
Since she finally saw Lin Yun making positive changes, she was willing to spend some time on this clan brother.
She was also curious if she could easily defeat Lin Yun, given that he could exchange blows with Lin Hong without being at a disadvantage.
"Alright then!"
Lin Yun reluctantly agreed.
At the same time, he created a task in his mind.
"System, create a task."
Task: Spar with Lin Xia. Reward: One bottle of second-grade Qi Blood Pill.
Task: Defeat Lin Xia. Reward: Physique +1, Root Bone +1.
Lin Yun directly created two tasks.
Defeating Lin Xia was a bit difficult for now. Lin Xia had already reached the peak of Body Tempering sixth layer and was currently attempting to break through to the seventh layer. Moreover, she cultivated the second-grade martial art Spirit Sword Finger. Lin Yun, relying solely on a perfected Tongbei Fist, would find it difficult to be Lin Xia's opponent.
He had only obtained the system for a short time.
However, creating the task didn't matter, as there was no time limit specified. Defeating Lin Xia during the Clan Competition would be the same.
"Little brother Lin Yun, I'm starting now." After Lin Xia finished speaking, her slender and long fingers were held together, like an eagle's beak, and she pointed them directly at Lin Yun.
The attack from her fingers was extremely oppressive, giving Lin Yun a feeling that he couldn't dodge.
"Falling Rock Fist."
Lin Yun infused Origin Power into his fists and struck down heavily.
Facing the powerful and heavy fists, Lin Xia had to retract her hand and dodge, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Your Origin Power is quite strong. Did you really just break through?"
"It's been a few days since I broke through," Lin Yun chuckled.
It seemed his Origin Power was stronger than that of someone who had just broken through to the sixth layer.
"Interesting, then sister will get serious." Lin Xia became interested.
She brought her fingers together, gathering Origin Power at her fingertips, which were like sword fingers, directly targeting Lin Yun's acupoints and joints.
"Clap clap clap..."
Lin Yun used the Tongbei Fist, generating force upon contact, blocking the opponent's Spirit Sword Finger while also launching an attack.
The Tongbei Fist, with nine consecutive impacts, forced Lin Xia to retreat a few steps to defend, almost getting caught off guard.
"Great Accomplishment Falling Rock Fist, Great Accomplishment Tongbei Fist, little brother Lin Yun, you truly make sister look at you with new eyes."
Lin Xia exclaimed in admiration. In the Lin Clan, very few people at this age had cultivated two martial arts to Great Accomplishment.
However, they were only first-grade martial arts. Her Spirit Sword Finger was a second-grade martial art and had also been cultivated to Great Accomplishment.
Lin Xia didn't dare to underestimate him and became serious. Her sword fingers skillfully weaved through Lin Yun's fists. After neutralizing several of Lin Yun's attacks, she finally pointed a finger at Lin Yun's wrist.
The Origin Power on Lin Yun's fists was directly dispersed by that one finger, and his fists lost their strength.
"Sister Lin Xia, amazing, amazing, I'm impressed, I'm impressed." Lin Yun quickly took the opportunity to retract his hands and retreat.
He still had the Tongbei Ten Impacts that he hadn't used, but even if he used it, he might not be Lin Xia's opponent. So, he decided to hold back. It was a friendly spar, there was no need to go all out, and today he was here to ask Lin Xia for a favor, not to cause trouble.
Making her happy was what mattered!
