Chapter 1959 418: Hunting Grounds
The apocalypse is impending, and he must make haste to cultivate.
A month later, he feels the realm is about to break through, faster than ever before.
This truly is a magical world, if he had the Void Breaking Furnace, he might frequently come here to retreat and cultivate.
Breaking through the realm is impossible now, as the natural rules gradually fade, and Snow Moon Mountain gradually appears in the real world.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lin Yifan, without thinking twice, immediately leaves this place.
...
In the following days, Lin Yifan roams the Northern Region, cultivating while also experiencing the local culture and enjoying the natural landscapes.
Half a month later, he suddenly hears about a hunting ground that will officially open in a few days, where numerous bureaucratic offspring and outstanding Han Clan offspring will flock to engage in half a month's hunting and training.
It's rumored that star beasts roam that icy world, and those lucky enough might obtain Constellation Beads.
This hunt's main task and honor is to hunt star beasts.
Entering this hunting ground has conditions, one must be a Han Clan offspring.
Lin Yifan is not a Han Clan offspring, so entering this hunting ground is exceedingly difficult.
However, verifying Han Clan offspring identity is simple, a waist token will suffice, which he can seize from a Han Clan offspring.
Of course, he won't target innocent people; those who bully the common people will be his targets.
After observing for several days in multiple cities, he discovers an official's young master who frequently commits crimes, forcibly seizing women and oppressing the common people, and decides to target him.
As several people abduct an innocent young woman into a dim alley, he immediately appears and knocks the henchmen of the official's young master to the ground.
The official's young master is furious, shouting, "You damn fool, don't you know who I am?"
"Precisely because I know, I stepped in," Lin Yifan responds calmly.
"Arrogant and domineering, I want to see how capable you are."
This official's young master is also a cultivator, with a slightly higher realm than his minions, so he does not think he will lose to Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan's lips curl slightly, he doesn't even consider this official's young master worthy.
As the realm improves, he increasingly has self-confidence, and he pays no mind to cultivators below the Great Immortal Realm.
The young master's contemptuous and dismissive attitude truly angered him. The official's young master can no longer tolerate it, using full force to attack Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan subsequently sweeps out with a fierce cultivation power, blasting the young master away.
"Bang!"
The official's young master crashes heavily into a wall, spitting several mouthfuls of blood.
His face is filled with horror; he never expected to be so easily beaten in front of Lin Yifan.
This person is absolutely an expert, he cannot defeat him; it looks like today, he might meet his end here.
Lin Yifan doesn't want to make a big scene, so after abolishing the official's young master's martial arts and seizing his waist token, he vanishes without a trace.
The innocent young woman abducted into the alley is terrified.
She didn't expect Lin Yifan's means to be so brutal, and his daring so great; he is simply her heroic idol.
Unfortunately, the hero left too quickly, she didn't even have time to thank him.
The official's young master has significant official background, she hopes Lin Yifan can safely navigate the crisis, with no other requests.
The news of the official's young master being beaten quickly reaches the ears of a high-ranking official in the city.
This official swiftly rushes over to check the situation.
Upon arriving at the alley, he only sees his son wailing in pain.
He hurriedly steps forward, concernedly asking, "Son, what happened, who bullied you?"
"Father, my martial arts have been completely abolished, in the future, I will be a cripple."
The official's young master is heartbroken, in despair, even contemplating suicide.
"What? Who did this?" The official's anger erupts, his face twisted with rage and burning fury.
"I don't know the man's name or background, only what he looks like," the young master answers.
"Tell me, I'll issue a city-wide search for him."
Not long after, Lin Yifan's image is plastered all over the city.
Lin Yifan is already gone, he heads to the hunting ground, awaiting its opening.
A day later, the grand day arrives.
Countless Han Clan offspring and official offspring flock here, vying for ultimate victory.
It's said, whoever hunts the most Spiritual Pearls of high quality will win. And the top ten winners will receive prizes jointly offered by several countries.
The prizes are abundant, including one crucial for all young people aiming for a High Realm breakthrough, the chance to browse the library of the Hexagram Academy, absorbing profound knowledge and comprehending deep Profound Mysteries.
The Hexagram Academy is the highest institution jointly built by six northern nations, where many Han Clan offspring pilgrimage and participate in entrance assessments each year.
Additionally, it gathers many Han Clan masters, compiling important documents.
In short, the Hexagram Academy offers Han Clan's superior martial arts and Profound Mysteries, where all Han Clan offspring aspire to enhance their cultivation.
Lin Yifan disguises himself, becoming one of the many Han Clan offspring.
Han Clan clothing is distinct from other regions; if he dresses too differently, he'll expose his identity.
Once everyone gathers, a prestigious guest appears.
She is the successor of the Frost Empress, the Han Clan's most pure-blooded person today—Princess Qingyan.
Her identity initially recognized by the Han Clan ancestors, her status soared, standing equal with each nation's Emperor.
In summary, she participates in all Han Clan grand events, gradually becoming an exalted symbol for uniting dispersed Han Clan offspring.
Seeing Qingyan, Lin Yifan dares not show his face.
He keeps his head down, hiding among the many Han Clan offspring, daring not to move.
"Who is she? Why is she being received with such high honor?"
"So beautiful! Truly a heavenly Holy Maiden."
"She doesn't seem to be from the Han Clan, so why is she participating in the hunt?"
...
The surrounding Han Clan offspring are abuzz with discussions.
Princess Qingyan absorbs the curious gazes around her.
This is within her expectations; her appearance is an anomaly, she believes few Han Clan offspring would think she has the purest Han Clan bloodline.
Before the hunt begins, the Supreme of each nation grandly introduces the identity of this "Holy Maiden."
"She is the Han Clan's most outstanding offspring, you should honor her as you honor me!"
"What? This...how is this possible?"
Countless Han Clan offspring find this difficult, as it openly challenges their status and seniority.
