39: Chapter 39 Reunion
After giving the medicinal pills to Su Xiaoyue, Su Lin returned to his room.
Su Lin drank his milk tea, his eyes unfocused.
He began to ponder.
Besides the two bottles of peiyuan liquid, this trip to the secret realm had another major gain.
That was the Lightning Refining Technique, which had received a new development.
It had unlocked the ability to [Turn Lightning into Blades].
As he spoke, Su Lin looked at his hands, and lightning instantly condensed in them.
With electric light flickering, he brought his left hand together, and it transformed into a blade of lightning.
Su Lin changed his hand gesture, and with a surge of lightning, the lightning blade vanished, replaced by a lightning spear that appeared in his hand.
Zzzzt!
Countless sparks of electricity danced incessantly on the lightning spear.
It seemed to illustrate its terrifying power.
Su Lin relaxed his palm, and all the lightning vanished, the lightning spear dissipating completely.
Su Lin leaned back in his chair.
"This trip to the secret realm has undoubtedly made me stronger."
"Whether it's the lightning blade or the lightning spear, both are very powerful offensive means."
"Moreover, the lightning spear can be used for long-range attacks; it has astonishing power while also providing self-protection."
Su Lin analyzed his current strength.
Even if he were to enter society, his strength as a martial artist would definitely be impressive.
It had even surpassed many other martial artists.
Su Lin also became more confident.
"Now I should have the ability to protect myself, right?"
"Even if I'm found by that rebel from before, I might not necessarily be unable to fight."
Su Lin hadn't forgotten about the rebel from the black market.
To this day, the Law Enforcer had not caught him.
Although he might not know that Su Lin was the one who reported him, the possibility of him seeking revenge on Su Lin was extremely small.
However, Su Lin remained very cautious.
One cannot be too careful; it's always better to be cautious.
"As long as I become strong enough, I'd actually welcome him coming to my door. Killing a rebel comes with a reward from the authorities."
Su Lin picked up the three booklets on the table.
They were the three cultivation techniques.
B-grade Mountain-Crushing Fist, C-grade Cloud-Piercing Leg, and C-grade Blood Shadow Finger.
Su Lin had given all the medicinal pills to his sister, but he kept the three martial arts techniques for himself.
Although he had mastered the Lightning Refining Technique and unlocked many variations of lightning, having more martial arts for self-defense was never a bad thing.
"Although they are all below A-grade martial arts, by imbuing them with lightning and combining them with my Lightning Refining Technique, they might not be any weaker than an A-grade technique."
"There is still some time before the college entrance exam, so mastering these three martial arts won't be difficult for me."
"Plus, with the bonus from the milk tea, the progress will be even faster."
Su Lin was already beginning to look forward to it; he would become even stronger in the near future.
He drank his milk tea impatiently and began to flip through the martial arts books in his hands.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
On an ordinary day, Su Lin was walking home after school.
Although on the surface, Su Lin looked almost exactly the same as he had two months ago.
Yet, unconsciously, a confident smile had recently always been hanging on the corners of his mouth.
Drinking milk tea every day guaranteed him an increase of ten points of blood energy. In two months, he had gained another six hundred points of blood energy.
At this moment, his blood energy had already reached 780 points, which was truly astonishing.
However, most of his classmates were still hovering around one hundred points of blood energy.
Furthermore, thanks to drinking the milk tea, his speed in learning martial arts was also very fast. In just two short months, he had completely mastered all three martial arts techniques.
At this moment, Su Lin's strength not only far exceeded all the students in the school but had even surpassed many of the teachers.
During the remaining time, besides consolidating his strength, he had also learned more of the Ten Thousand Races Language.
How could he not be confident?
Su Lin walked calmly along the road, yet he could feel powerful energy surging throughout his entire body, to the point where it felt like it could barely be contained and might burst out at any moment.
"It's in the bag."
Su Lin was certain in his heart that getting into a prestigious martial arts academy was a sure thing.
Su Lin raised an eyebrow and looked up at the sky. The weather had been very good recently, but today was a rare overcast day.
Large swathes of dark clouds shrouded Jianghuo City, and faint flashes of lightning could be seen illuminating the ink-thick clouds.
"Is it going to rain?"
"I need to get home quickly; I didn't bring an umbrella today."
As he spoke, Su Lin quickened his pace and hurried toward home.
Just as he reached a corner, his peripheral vision seemed to catch sight of something familiar.
Su Lin turned his head to look, and he froze instantly.
He saw a person in a black robe setting up a small stall at the corner of the street.
On it were various cultivation techniques and martial arts of all kinds.
"Young friend, would you like to buy a couple of martial arts or cultivation techniques?"
A storm surged in Su Lin's heart.
It's him!
"Huh? Little brother, haven't we met somewhere before?"
The black-robed person suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
Su Lin put on a puzzled expression and said.
"Sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I don't know you."
Su Lin looked at the familiar face of the white-haired old man beneath the black robe.
He was even more certain in his heart.
Good grief! It really is you, the rebel!
"That shouldn't be right. My memory is very good; I shouldn't be mistaken."
"Little brother, have you ever been to the black market?"
The black-robed person asked, pursuing the matter.
Looking at Su Lin's face, he always felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
"The black market? I never go to such places."
Su Lin said with disdain.
"The things sold in the black market are all low-end goods; I have no interest in them."
"Everything we buy at the Ma family is of the highest quality."
Su Lin said, holding his head high.
It made the black-robed person doubt himself.
"It seems I really did mistake you for someone else."
"So it's the young master of the Ma family."
The black-robed person nodded.
"Young Master Ma, come take a look at my martial arts techniques; they will absolutely make your martial path advance by leaps and bounds!"
"Not interested!"
After saying that, Su Lin walked away directly.
And unconsciously, he quickened his walking speed.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from that street.
"Sigh, business has really been bad lately."
The black-robed person shook his head.
Meanwhile, Su Lin ducked into an alley and quickly took out his phone to call the police.
"Hello, I've found a rebel!"
