‘What exactly should I do?’

Lin Han felt like he was in a tricky situation when he looked at the gigantic ancient crocodile in the middle of the canyon.

‘Should I scare it with the Golden Azure Dragon’s soul?

‘I used it before, so it might not work a second time.

‘Should I activate my Dragon Emperor Combat Body and attack it with my Azure Dragon Probing Claw Hand?’

The ancient crocodile was the size of a small hill and had black scales that seemed like they were formed using molten iron. Lin Han knew that he could not break free so easily.

Being the king of ferocious beasts in Broken Sky Forest, it could very well trample over a Grandmaster who was above seventh tier martial art.

Lin Han felt helpless.

‘Do I really have no luck with the sect residence’s Martial Art Tea Party?’

“Eh? I’ve found a demonic beast with the strength of True Martial Boundary actually at a remote place like this? Oh, wait, it’s not inat the True Martial Boundary yet, it only has a fierce ancient bloodline that gives it a powerful aura. If it’s trained well, it might be a good assistant.” Out of the blue, a voice was heard from above the canyon.

Lin Han immediately suppressed his aura, then looked outside using Spirit Master Heavenly Eye.

He was immediately taken aback.

A young man in iron-black clothes was seen in mid-air in the canyon, and was like a spirit that appeared out of thin air.

‘Stepping on air?’

Lin Han was utterly stupefied.

From what he knew, even the most powerful Grandmaster could not fly freely, let alone step on air.

Grandmasters could at most glide in the air with the help of wind energy, but that was not considered flying.

However, the mysterious iron-clothed man was able to step on air, whereby he was standing mid-air.

‘What cultivation base is he at?!’

“Buzz!”

Right then, the air vibrated for a moment.

A blue figure flew from afar, and was also stepping on air to approach the iron-clothed man.

The figure was a lady who was around twenty years old. She had delicate looks, gentle movements, and her blue outfit was fluttering in the air.

“Junior Sister, this ancient crocodile has an unordinary bloodline. It’s one from a ferocious beast in ancient times. If you capture it, you might be able to train it into a familiar that’s in the True Martial Boundary.”

The iron-clothed man was tall, handsome, and had a pair of dazzling eyes. His black iron clothing shone in cold luster, and he held a battle dagger-axe. Additionally, his strong killing intent gave a feeling that he drank the blood of ten thousand creatures, and that he possessed a frightening ancient force.

“Its aura is indeed unordinary, I’ll give it a shot.”

The blue-clothed lady smiled sweetly as she took a step out.

She fluttered above the ancient crocodile, and she looked graceful due to her silky hair and her fair skin.

Her eyes glowed the moment she pressed on the crocodile with her bare hand.

Subsequently, the ancient crocodile on the canyon trembled, and fear could be seen through its bloodshot eyes.

“Rise!”

Later, the blue-clothed lady uttered, then opened a bag on her waist that was shining in spiritual light.

Hu!

Light emerged from the bag and seemed to shrink the ferocious beast while it roared fearfully. At last, it was contained in the bag.

“Junior Sister, you’re becoming more skilled at the Beast Training Technique.” The iron-clothed man smiled.

Following that, they transformed into two light streams that zoomed away.

They disappeared from the canyon in the blink of an eye.

Pat!

A drop of cold sweat slid down from Lin Han’s face.

At the very last moment, Lin Han clearly noticed the iron-clothed man cast a glancing look at him.

‘He noticed me!’

That instant, Lin Han felt as if he had descended into the depths of Hell. A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood filled his vision.

Nevertheless, the iron-clothed man left in the end.

Lin Han knew that perhaps he was merely an insignificant ant to the mysterious man.

Therefore, the man was not concerned.

Nonetheless, all Lin Han could feel was fear. Earlier on, if he had not become a Level One Spirit Master, and without the Golden Spirit Fire’s protection, the iron-clothed man’s look could have crushed his soul and will.

Upon realizing that, he fell silent.

Whether it was the fact that they were stepping on air, the blue-clothed lady keeping the ancient crocodile in her bag, the iron-clothed man’s fearsome look, or the “True Martial Boundary” they mentioned…

They were beyond Lin Han’s understanding of martial arts.

The young man and lady’s cultivation bases were certainly way beyond a Grandmaster’s.

Furthermore, they were very young.

‘Where exactly are they from that they possess such frightening and unbelievable power?’

Lin Han suddenly recalled the earthshaking scene he saw when he received the First Ancient Dragon Emperor’s inheritance.

It seemed like what was stated in the ancient book was real.

A Warrior who cultivated until the limits of humanity would no longer be limited to worldly visions, and would become a powerful being that could destroy Heaven and Earth.

“Hu!”

Lin Han exhaled. He was not disappointed at all.

Instead, he was excited.

Though the young man and lady were horrifying and were far beyond his reach, he knew that he would become like them if he worked hard since he had the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor.

He would roam the vault of Heaven, and would overlook the common people from above.

Lin Han quickly held back his excitement and composed himself.

He was freed of his predicament since the ancient crocodile was captured by the blue-clothed lady.

Peng!

Lin Han quickly broke out from the cave.

He activated his Spirit Master Heavenly Eye.

If there were other Spirit Masters around, they could see a huge spirit-shaped eyeball that looked like Heaven’s eye emerging from Lin Han’s head into the sky. It served to broaden his vision.

Lin Han quickly found a way out, then flew out of Broken Sky Forest.

It would normally take half a day to return to Broken Sky City from Broken Sky Forest.

However, Lin Han was different from what he used to be.

His Startled Swan Body Technique had been comprehended to the Pinnacle stage, which allowed him to walk with flying feet, and to travel as fast as a dragon.

He could return to the city in a few hours.

During his journey, he kept thinking about the horrifying look from the mysterious iron-clothed man.

There was an intense killing power in his look.

He was someone that could not be measured by the measures of ordinary martial arts.

Perhaps it was a force that involved one’s soul and will.

‘Soul?’

Lin Han’s eyes glowed. “If I derived the conception of that killing look through the Golden Spirit Fire, I might be able to get a killing method based on my soul and will.”

He was not one to dawdle.

‘I’ll do it now!’

Hence, while he hurried back to the city, he began meditating to comprehend it.
