Heaven and earth were a large net that was woven from countless fine runic lines! When the martial practitioners of the continent were still trying to comprehend the power of heaven and earth, Lin Man had already refined himself into the runic lines of heaven and earth. What Psychic Bone Treasure, bone artifact, they were all unable to withstand a single blow from me! What genius, what demonic genius, they would all be trampled under my feet! Facing the heroes of the world, Lin Man was eager to give it a try. His voice was like a drum beating in the abyss, "Pain, it's not important, joy is important! Come, let's fight to our heart's content!" A tribe's ordinary youth swept through the wild and stepped onto the legend of the gods.
The ancient land, the endless mountains and rivers, the towering ancient trees, and the wild beasts were rampant.
The youth ran through the mountain rocks and vegetation. Beast bone arrows shot out from his hands one after another. The Great Desolate Ancient Bear chased after him relentlessly.
At the lower waist, he moved, twisted his body, and set up an arrow in one go. His movements were even more agile than those of the wild beasts in the tribe. The perfect combination of strength and speed was a kind of moving beauty.
Unfortunately, the youth had already shot thirteen bone arrows, but none of them could hit the Great Desolate Ancient Bear not far from him.
As he touched the last bone arrow in the quiver, a fierce look appeared in the youth's eyes.
"Let's go all out!"
The young man suddenly stopped, holding the remaining bone arrow in his hand. He turned around and pounced on the Great Desolate Ancient Bear that was catching up with him.
The sudden change stunned the Great Desolate Ancient Bear. Before it could react, the bone arrow in the youth's hand had already been inserted into its left eye.
"Ow!"
The furious Great Desolate Ancient Bear's claws sent the youth flying. It threw itself forward with all its might in an attempt to tear apart this prey that had chased after it along the way.
The young fish jumped up and rolled forward, deftly avoiding the retaliation of the ancient bear. Then, it violently grabbed the neck of the ancient bear, grabbed the bone arrow that entered the left eye of the ancient bear, and tried its best to pull it out along with the eyes of the ancient bear. The ancient bear roared in pain and opened its fangs to bite the neck of the young man.
The young man hurriedly took action.
The ancient bear pounced again, and the youth turned again.
A man and a beast were engaged in a life-and-death duel.
"An opportunity!"
Because the left eye of the ancient bear was blinded, there was a blind spot when it turned. The young man seized the opportunity to jump sideways, risking the danger of being slapped away by the ancient bear. He raised the bone arrow in his hand and aimed at the remaining right eye of the ancient bear.
As the sun set in the west, a youngster carrying a Great Desolate Bear walked out from the Brute Race mountain. His entire body was covered in blood. His name was -- Barbarian! Lin Man!
"Lin Man, we've finally found you. Wolf Teng has come to the tribe. You should hurry back and take a look."
"Wolf Teng?"
The young man, Lin Man, smashed the ancient bear on his shoulder onto the ground. His resolute face was filled with anger, and his gaze was so fierce that it caused the young man in front of him, who had sent word to him, to feel afraid.
...
Gale Tribe.
"A'man is back."
"Yi, A'man caught an ancient bear today."
The two clansmen guarding the gate of the village greeted eagerly. When they saw the ancient bear on Lin Man's shoulder, a trace of astonishment flashed across their eyes. Looking at the head of this ancient bear, even an experienced adult hunter like them would have to spend some effort.
As they looked at Lin Man and thought of what had happened two years ago, the two of them sighed from time to time!
"Uncle Bao, Uncle Ying." Lin Man greeted as he threw the ancient bear onto the ground and strode in.
"Lord Emissary, my Man'er will be back soon. Please wait for a moment."
Before Lin Man entered the meeting hall, he heard a voice that was very familiar to him. It was his grandfather, Lin Shan.
Creak!
Lin Man pushed open the door and stared fiercely at the people inside the room.
There were more than a dozen people, and only one of them was an old man. The rest were all teenagers of the same age as him. There were men and women. In terms of their Qi and blood, they were stronger than him. They also looked at Lin Man and found that his cultivation was at the same time, so they showed a disdainful smile.
Lin Man pursed his lips and ignored him. He had already gotten used to this kind of thing in the past two years. He began to size up the leading elder.
The elder's thick eyebrows and rat-like eyes were slightly sinister, causing Lin Man's heart to palpitate with fear. It was as if he had been seen through by himself. The elder's expression was dark and stern as he emitted an indescribable aura. It was so heavy that it was hard for him to breathe.
Lin Man took in a deep breath and continued to size them up. He knew that these youths of the same age were all disciples that were accepted by the nearby tribes by Wu Shan. Lin Man's gaze finally landed on a youth. The youth had a heroic and heroic appearance, and his aura was imposing. As for this person, he was no longer familiar with him—Wolf Teng.
The two of them had known each other for many years. Furthermore, they were both talents from their respective tribes and their subordinates. Thus, they became good friends. At that time, Lin Man's Qi and blood realm strength was at the seventh level, a level higher than that of Wolf Teng. As such, he was highly valued by Wu Shan and even the status of the Great Wind Sect in these ten thousand mountains rapidly increased.
Lin Man stared at Lang Teng and rubbed the scar on his chest. He licked the corner of his mouth and a sinister smile appeared on his face. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
He had a deep memory of this scar. Two years ago, he cooperated with Wolf Teng to hunt in the mountains. By chance, they found a cave left by an expert. There was an unknown cultivation method and some Dan Pills in the cave. At this time, Wolf Teng suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind and pierced his body with a sword.
However, Wolf Teng did not expect that he had a Thunder Light Pearl given by his grandfather, Lin Shan.
The first thing Lin Man did after he was ambushed was smash the Thunder Light Pearl into pieces. He used the moment when Wolf Teng was blind and successfully fled back to his tribe. In the end, his bones were destroyed and he fell to the fourth level of Qi and blood. He would never be able to recover.
From a genius to a good-for-nothing, he was no longer valued by Wu Shan, causing the status of the Whole Gale Tribe to rapidly decline, becoming a joke among the nearby tribes. Wolf Teng even made the Wolf Tribe bite him back, saying that Lin Man had attacked him first, but was not as good as him and was injured by him. In the end, the Wolf Tribe gathered here, and the Whole Gale Tribe had to swallow their anger and compensate hundreds of wild birds. Only then did they say goodbye to this matter.
"It's been two years. Time is really fast!" Lin Man laughed coldly to himself as he took a small step forward. His gaze was ice cold as he said, "I heard that you have broken through the Qi and blood realm and stepped into the first level of the Fusing Mark realm to become an inner disciple of the Martial Mountain Sect?"
Feeling Lin Man's gaze, Lang Teng sneered disdainfully. In the past, Lin Man had slightly surpassed him and suppressed him in every aspect. Even Lin Man was the first candidate to be selected within the Martial Mountain. All of his glory was covered by Lin Man.
He didn't want to give up. He didn't want to give up. In his opinion, these glory should belong to him. How could Lin Man take everything away from him? Therefore, two years ago, when the opportunity came, he took back everything that belonged to him.
When he thought of this, Wolf Teng's heart was filled with an inexplicable joy. His expression instantly became arrogant as he said, "Correct. I have already become a disciple of Elder Shi." Wolf Teng proudly smiled as he pointed at the elder whom he did not know. "This is Elder Mu Qing Shi of my master's lineage in Wu Shan. He is also the guide of a few nearby tribes."
Wu Shan was a powerful force among the 10,000 mountains. There were countless experts of Bone Refining. There were also four mountain peaks, namely the Heaven-sword Peak, the Floating Snow Peak, the Herb Peak, and the Nether Bone Peak. There were tens of thousands of disciples sitting at the foot of the mountain.
The peak master of the Sky Sword Peak, Shi Tianhu, was the master that Wolf Teng had mentioned. Two years ago, when Lin Man was still a genius, he had been appointed as a high-level Outer Disciple of the Sky Sword Peak together with Wolf Teng. All he needed to do was to break through the border and enter the Inner Gate.
Now, two years had passed. Wolf Teng had once again made progress and became an Inner Disciple. His bones had been destroyed because of Wolf Teng's sneak attack. The Heaven Sword Peak threw him directly to the Nether Bone Peak and became a low-level Outer Disciple. Today was the day for him to enter the mountain.
"So it's a disciple of the Heaven Sword Peak. No wonder his expression was cold and his eyes were filled with unconcealable arrogance." Lin Man thought as he clenched his fists. He had originally been the disciple of the head of the four peaks, the Heaven Sword Peak, and had fallen to the lowest ranked disciple of the outer gate of the Nether Bone Peak. He was extremely upset, and all of this was due to Wolf Teng.
Mu Qing Shi sized up Lin Man and said coldly, "For the sake of a useless person, you wasted so much time on me. Quickly bring over the Bone Wind Bead. I am still in a hurry to return to the sect!"
"Bone Wind Bead?" As Lin Man was puzzled, his grandfather Lin Shan took out a green bone bead and handed it over with trembling hands.
"Grandfather, what are you doing?" Lin Man called out.
"Humph, do you think that Wushan will accept a good-for-nothing like you for no reason? If it weren't for your grandfather offering you this Bone Wind Bead, you wouldn't even be able to enter the mountain."
Lin Man seemed to have been struck by lightning as he stood rooted to the spot, unable to move for a long time.
The Bone Wind Bead was an object of inheritance of the Great Wind Sect. It was passed down from generation to generation among its leaders. It was a symbol of the spirit of a tribe and had a miraculous effect at the same time.
It allowed people to feel the natural form of the wind. This effect was extremely rare even in the Psychic Bone device. Therefore, it had always been regarded as a treasure by the previous leaders of the Wind Tribe. However, today, it had been sent out by Grandpa, and the ancestral heirloom of a tribe had been lost. He knew that Grandpa's heart was dripping with blood.
He was no longer that ignorant child, so he naturally knew that his grandfather was doing all this for him. He calmly thought about it. There were not many people who knew the Bone Wind Beads of the Great Wind Sect, but he had told Wolf Teng before.
Looking at the proud smile on Lang Teng's face, he instantly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It was definitely Lang Teng who told the news about the Heavenly Sword Peak, so he took it by force. However, his grandfather had no choice but to compromise for his future and the safety of his tribe.
Lin Man tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. As he looked at Mu Qing Shi and Lang Teng, he told himself that he had to endure, endure, and not wait. It was not time yet. As long as he entered Mount Wu, there was hope for him to regain the glory of a genius.
This was the secret in his heart. Even his grandfather, Lin Shan, did not know this secret. Two years ago, when he fled back to the tribe and recovered, he secretly returned to the cave. The items inside had been searched by the wolf, leaving only a piece of broken bones. When he collected these bones and was about to bury them in the ground, he found that there were extremely difficult to find runes on the bones. Out of curiosity, he put all the bones together. At this time, he was shocked!
After going all out, the Withering Bone runic symbol was actually an incomplete cultivation technique — Swallowing Mark Technique.
Although the cultivation method was incomplete, it recorded the method of repairing the bones, which was to use the blood essence of fierce beasts to purify the body.
Fierce beasts were different kinds of ferocious birds. The lowest level of power of an adult vicious beast was at the Joint-print Realm, which was not something he could hunt down at the moment. Therefore, he had traveled in the mountains for more than a year and hoped to meet a baby fierce beast. Unfortunately, he failed.
There were countless experts in the Wu Shan, a powerful force in the 10,000 mountains. There must be the blood essence of fierce beasts in the sect. That was his goal.
With the blood essence tempering his body, he could regain his former glory, revenge, and prosperity of the tribe.
His hope was on Mount Wu.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my Lord."
Lin Man watched as his grandfather, Lin Shan, smiled apologetically as he sent everyone out of the tribe. He secretly swore that he would definitely become stronger.
Wu Shan was located on Great Python Mountain. Lin Man and the others were led by Mu Qing Shi before they arrived here.
At a glance, Lin Man saw rows of stone houses and towering forests lined up in a row. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it was endless and spectacular.
Outside the mountain gate, there were two men and one woman. Three middle aged men walked over, bowed towards Mu Qing Shi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Martial Uncle Mu."
Mu Qing Shi nodded and said coldly, "I'll leave the rest to you. Lang Teng, you're an Inner Disciple and come with me."
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Wolf Teng proudly glanced at Lin Man before he slowly left.
"I heard that Lin Man from the Mountain Tribe was once a disciple chosen by the Heaven Sword Peak."
"Humph, Lin Man is such a despicable villain. He brought shame on himself and actually attacked my Wolf Tribe's Senior Brother Lang Teng. If Senior Brother Lang Teng hadn't cared about his past, he would've died under a sword."
While the other tribe disciples were discussing in low voices, an outer disciple of the Wolf Tribe immediately stood up and looked at Lin Man with contempt, not dodging at all.
"Be quiet."
"The rookies, next, I will tell you the rules of Wushan. Listen carefully." Among the three people, a bearded man glared at them and said.
"You are all junior disciples of the outer gate, so you can receive 100 contribution points for the first month. Then, according to different peaks, you will be given some tasks, such as raising spirit beasts, taking care of the spiritual field, burning fire, and so on. If you complete these tasks, you will get 100 contribution points every month."
The bearded man paused for a moment and continued, "The contribution points are very important in the sect. They can be exchanged for cultivation methods, combat skills, spiritual herbs, bone-patterned devices, and other items."
Lin Man listened carefully as his heart was already filled with joy.
Raising spirit beasts?
This was simply heaven helping me. They were tamed by the sect and were called spirit beasts. And in the mountains, they had another name—the Ominous Beast.
"If a person really wants to drink water, it will start to rain. Wolf, just you wait. I will definitely repay the humiliation you gave me ten times over. Also, one day, I will personally snatch back the Bone Wind Beads of the Great Wind Sect."
