Lin Ruyan?

Lin Han raised his eyebrows.

That girl was born with a silver spoon. Why did she come here for me?

“Is there a problem?” Lin Han wondered while he looked calmly at the beautiful figure standing at the Gazebo.

“I want to know how you rose suddenly in the Outer Residence,” said Lin Ruyan. Her pretty eyes were staring at Lin Han with curiosity.

When she asked, she was carefully observing if there were any changes in Lin Han’s facial expression.

However, Lin Han had a tough mind and he did not show any emotions. He glimpsed at this beautiful girl and smiled. “Those that are supposed to rise, will eventually rise.”

Those that are supposed to rise, will eventually rise!

Lin Han spoke so calmly, it was as if he had no emotions. However, it reflected his strength and huge confidence.

Lin Ruyan did not seem to be satisfied with his answer. Her pretty nose creased and she scolded softly, “Lin Han, you’re trying to deceive.”

“Everything I said was true.”

Lin Han laughed and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Even though Lin Ruyan was very beautiful and glamorous, Lin Han was not the type of person who would be stunned from seeing a pretty girl.

He was very strong-minded and was way more mature than people his age.

Furthermore, after his Qi was transformed by the Golden Spirit Fire, Lin Han became less frivolous and steadier than other youngsters.

Lin Han was very clear that right then, his first priority was to increase his strength and be the blockbuster of the following Outer Residence Competition and the Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party.

That was his primary goal.

“Bad Lin Han, ignored me again..”

Seeing that Lin Han was about to turn and leave, Lin Ruyan said immediately, “Alright, alright, I won’t ask for the reasons, okay? Actually, the main reason why I came here today was to spar with you.”

“Spar with me?” Lin Han was surprised.

“Yes. Although many remain suspicious regarding your strength, ever since you defeated Lin Jian with one sword technique, I can tell that you are extremely strong when you reveal your actual combat power.”

Her dress blew, like an immortal lotus dancing in the wind. Lin Ruyan continued saying, “Tomorrow is the Outer Residence Competition and I hope that I can spar with you earlier. Maybe we can learn something from each other and improve together.”

Lin Ruyan did not sound like she was kidding. Lin Han thought for a while before he nodded his head.

Lin Ruyan had already achieved the fifth tier in martial arts and was ranked third among the Outer Residence, it was no doubt that she was very powerful.

Maybe sparing with her could help to sharpen his martial art skills.

“I’ll say it upfront that my sword is a killing sword. You can’t blame me if I cause you any injuries by accident,” Lin Han reminded her.

“No worries, I practice sword technique as well. We are not even sure if you can break through my sword defense.” Lin Ruyan was not convinced by him.

“Let’s spar at my place, or our sword Qi might hurt the others here by the curb,” Lin Han suggested. Lin Ruyan nodded and agreed.

One hour later, they arrived at Lin Han’s place.

There was a small courtyard here, which was suitable as their sparring site.

“Sword Art of the Frozen Heart!”

Lin Ruyan pointed her sword first. In an instant, the surrounding temperature turned piercing cold.

Sword Art of the Frozen Heart?

The sword Qi could affect the surrounding temperature?

Lin Han was surprised.

It seemed that the cultivation method practiced by Lin Ruyan was not ordinary, and instead, it gave her the True Element that possessed the winter attributes.

These were very common.

For example, warriors that practiced the fire cultivation method would have True Elements with fire attributes, which gave them special lethality against their enemy.

Lin Han, however, practiced the one and only Art of the Ancient Dragon.

It was the most powerful cultivation method and incomparable throughout history!

The element cultivated was Dragon Element that contained the Power of Ancient Dragon. It was a robust, magnificent and long-lasting attribute.

Therefore, in combat, Lin Han never worried about having his elements depleted before the enemy.

Furthermore, other than the strong element support, the Art of the Ancient Dragon could also form a furnace in his Dantian, which allowed him to continuously plunder the surrounding Heaven and Earth Power for his own usage.

It was extremely abnormal and powerful!

“Thirteen Gleaming Sword!”

Right then, Lin Han pointed his sword as well.

He did not use the Quick Draw Sword.

This was because the Quick Draw Sword had to be completed in one strike with lightning speed. Whenever the strike started, someone must die. It was not suitable for sparring.

“I was surprised to find that you practice a high-grade martial arts. Is this the Thirteen Gleaming Sword?” Lin Ruyan gave him a look of shock while sparring with him.

This was the Lin Han that came from a faraway subdivision.

How many more secrets did he have?

The more she thought, the more curious and surprised she was towards Lin Han.

In the meantime, both of them did not realize that a small figure was standing right at the courtyard entrance. It was Xiao Nu the maid.

Right then, the little girl was staring at them sparring in the courtyard, feeling lonely and left out.

..

Lin Han and Lin Ruyan finally stopped after two hours.

They looked at each other and smiled as both of them had improved by learning from each other.

Lin Ruyan did not say much. All she did was smile and thanked Lin Han before she left slowly.

Lin Han laughed generously and let her know that she could come over more often to spar.

Lin Han had gained a lot of insight regarding his sword techniques from Lin Ruyan. If he applied them to the actual combat, it definitely would increase the power of his sword techniques.

Next.

Lin Han did not waste any time. He went back into the house and continued to get insights on the Majestic Golden Sun Cover.

Time flew, like sand slipping through fingers.

That afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye.

The sky got darker.

Just then, in the house.

“Majestic Golden Sun Cover, where hills go across the sky!”

A prestigious voice came up, it was Lin Han.

Right then, he was covered with a golden bell. It was almost solidified.

The ancient bell was vigorous, with a cold metallic luster; it was powerful.

“I finally took a step further and achieved the Major Advancement!”

Lin Han looked cheerful.

As expected, his genius talent did not disappoint him. Within a day, his proficiency for the Majestic Golden Sun Cover had achieved the Major Advancement.

Once implied, the golden bell would cover the entire body.

The hardness was comparable to a medium-grade weapon, which allowed Lin Han to be inaccessible by any sword and gun.

“Dong Dong Dong..”

Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the door.

The sound was very soft, so it should be Xiao Nu knocking on the door.

Lin Han instantly determined and said, “Come in, Xiao Nu.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

As expected, Xiao Nu the maid answered from outside.

Her tiny figure then appeared in the room.

Lin Han looked at her and immediately realized that she was slightly upset.

“What happened, Xiao Nu?” Lin Han felt strange.

“Young Master, I.. I..” Xiao Nu stammered, and then finally cried, “Wuwu~ Young Master.. Does Young Master think that Xiao Nu is useless..?”

“Why would I?” Lin Han felt baffled, but he still walked towards the little girl. He hugged her and talked softly, “when I was at my worst, you, Xiao Nu, was the one that stayed by my side. Why would I dislike or avoid you?”

“Is it.. Is it true?” Xiao Nu sobbed.

“Of course it is true.” Lin Han nodded his head hard.

After thinking thoroughly, in this entire Lin Clan Sect Residence, the only person who was close to him was Xiao Nu the maid.

“Then.. Young Master, Xiao Nu.. can Xiao Nu stay forever by your side? Serving Young Master?” The little girl looked up and asked with eyes filled with hope.

“As long as you’re willing to, of course you can stay by my side forever,” Lin Han answered while he laughed and playfully shaved her nose with his fingers.

“Young Master is the best.. Xiao Nu will never leave Young Master..”

..

One hour later, Lin Han finally put the little girl to sleep.

It was only then did Lin Han have the chance to go out.

The sky was dark, but it was one day before the Outer Residence Competition.

At this time, it was the liveliest period of the Outer Residence.

Of course, Lin Han did not go out to join the fun. Instead, he went to view the early announcement of the disciple ranking board.

It happened every year.

One night before the Outer Residence Competition, every disciple in the Outer Residence would be evaluated according to their strength and ranked out, as a preparation for the final Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party.
