I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 213 - 211: Xi Yuan Tournament (Part 37)
Lin Yin’s eye sockets were sunken, his lips cracked, he was severely dehydrated, but due to absorbing a large amount of Elemental Power, the aura around him surged, causing his sleeves to be lightly stirred by the dispersing Elemental Power.
While absorbing Elemental Power, Lin Yin also received the spiritual power of the Iron Bone Wolf. At the moment when Chou Xiaoyuan sensed the talisman array’s fluctuations, Lin Yin also noticed it and could accurately judge the Elemental Attribute of the incoming person.
Song Shurun heard that it was the Zhi Bu Fu team coming, which made him even more worried.
Although they hadn’t fought against the Zhi Bu Fu team, the scene where Li Xing brutally crushed Lin Yin indeed left Song Shurun with quite a psychological shadow. To be honest, he was somewhat intimidated by the Zhi Bu Fu team, especially Li Xing.
Song Shurun decided not to face the Zhi Bu Fu team, but Lin Yin’s eyes remained fixed in the two o’clock direction, muttering:
"Strange, the Primordial Spirit of the four of them shows no signs of being blocked, and their physical condition is great..."
Seeing the fierce battle intent burst forth in Lin Yin’s eyes, Song Shurun instantly felt a headache.
Lin Yin pursued revenge without fail. Being severely injured by Li Xing in the Tian Yi race must have left him burning with anger inside, and he would certainly seize the opportunity for revenge against Li Xing.
But now they are in a competition, and with the team in such poor condition, Lin Yin’s reckless challenge to a strong team would only cause the team to be eliminated again. This guy just doesn’t learn!
"Since the Zhi Bu Fu team’s condition is so good, we are no match for them; it’s best to avoid them!"
Lin Yin turned his head, his pitch-black eyes staring at Song Shurun, his voice cold as a snake: "Tell me, why are they in such good shape?"
Song Shurun was speechless: "How would I know!" The states of other teams have nothing to do with him!
Lin Yin’s eyes darted around, his gaze sweeping across Pei Nan and Chou Xiaoyuan.
"Never mind the others, Ye Qingting’s condition is particularly odd; even if the whole team gave him all the Energy Stones, it’s impossible for him to have not a trace of restraint."
Pei Nan and Chou Xiaoyuan exchanged glances; if Lin Yin’s intuition was correct, it indeed did not make sense.
Lin Yin: "The Zhi Bu Fu team must have something that can remove the Primordial Spirit block."
Song Shurun shook his head: "Impossible! The Primordial Spirit block can only be alleviated, not removed. It’s common knowledge!"
"Common knowledge? Whose common knowledge, and where did it come from? Just because something couldn’t be done before and is labeled as common knowledge, does that mean it can never be done?"
Song Shurun was at a loss for words, having always been taught this theory—is it wrong?
"I’m curious, so I’ve decided to go find the Zhi Bu Fu team to see firsthand how they did it. If you want to join me, follow along; if not, head to Turquoise Pool!"
After speaking, Lin Yin stepped forward and ran in the direction of the Zhi Bu Fu team.
"Lin Yin—! I’m ordering you to come back!"
Lin Yin didn’t look back, his silhouette soon disappearing behind the sand dunes.
Song Shurun gritted his teeth; without using the Dark Elemental Spirit, Lin Yin’s attitude was fine; but once he absorbed too much Elemental Power, this hundred-plus-pound guy with ninety pounds of stubbornness wouldn’t listen to anyone!
Lin Yin is currently the team’s strongest combatant. Without him to protect the team, how can they reach the Turquoise Pool?
Song Shurun sighed and said to Pei Nan and Chou Xiaoyuan: "Let’s go and meet the Zhi Bu Fu team."
On the stands in the city square, even Lian Zhou was about to be driven mad by his school’s team.
In this match, although the Zhi Bu Fu team was sent flying around by the Transmission Array, they rode Star Beasts, defeated the Tian Yi team repeatedly, created miracles one after another, proving their undeniable strength.
The Tu Ling team was unaware of these feats, but Lian Zhou had watched the whole thing and had to admit, he was envious. The Zhi Bu Fu team is indeed very strong.
Given the current state of the Tu Ling team, instead of avoiding them, they are rushing to find death, which is extremely foolish. Lin Yin is out of his mind, and Song Shurun isn’t stopping him; how is he even a team captain?
Although the Cold Smoke Pavilion doesn’t want the Tu Ling team to provoke the Zhi Bu Fu team, from a live broadcast perspective, conflict creates intrigue, intrigue leads to high ratings, so Lin Yin’s actions cater perfectly to First TV’s interests.
Several invisible cameras followed the Tu Ling team’s movements, ready to live broadcast the encounter between the two teams comprehensively.
——————
The Zhi Bu Fu team was advancing toward Turquoise Pool when Qi Ming suddenly turned back, looking serious: "Brother Ye, the Tu Ling team is... is catching up."
"Besides the Tu Ling team, are there others?"
Ye Qingting was really worried about the Tu Ling team pulling stunts like Desert Ship; luring trouble their way and getting them surrounded by all sorts of chaos, forcing a joint battle.
"Can’t sense any."
Ye Qingting breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to signal the team to stop moving forward. Their intention to circle around was to avoid trouble, definitely not because of fear of fighting. Since the Tu Ling team had caught up, they might as well see what was in store.
Seeing Lin Yin coming, Ye Qingting was somewhat surprised.
"Lin Yin, are you here for us?"
Lin Yin’s cold gaze swept across the four people opposite until even Cui Tianxiao started feeling uncomfortable; only then did he speak with a chill: "What method did you use to remove the Primordial Spirit block?"
Ye Qingting disliked Lin Yin’s way of speaking; his tone wasn’t friendly either.
"No comment."
Lin Yin chuckled, his gaze resting on Li Xing, confidently saying: "It was you!"
"So what if it was?"
Lin Yin, a Dark Elemental Spirit, yet at this moment, there was a fluctuation of Gold Attribute Elemental Power around him, likely from absorbing Gold Attribute Elemental Power from a Golden Attribute Star Beast.
Li Xing did not like Lin Yin, not only disliking this person but especially disliking his aura, always feeling a decaying taste emanating from him.
"Li Xing, the Tu Ling team’s goal in this race is to get the flag first, but my only goal is to have a battle with you. Are you daring to accept?"
Lin Yin’s provocation had no effect on Li Xing.
"Sorry, my goal is to take first place; don’t waste my time."
Lin Yin: "Don’t you want to know whose strength between us is greater?"
"Not interested."
Lin Yin persisted: "Li Xing, if you tell me how to remove the Primordial Spirit block and then duel me fairly, no matter the result, win or lose, I promise to do one thing for you. As long as it doesn’t harm my interests, anything will do."
Li Xing originally planned to refuse, but then reconsidered. Lin Yin is unpredictable, but his Elemental Spirit Attribute is truly extraordinary, and he is strong. Who knows what clouds bring rain; perhaps she’ll need him one day.
Confident in victory against Lin Yin, this would allow her to suppress the Tu Ling team and use the promise to task Lin Yin, at the cost of a single bottle of Clear Wind Powder—it wasn’t a bad deal.
Li Xing’s eyes shifted again, glancing at Ye Qingting, who knew she was inclined and immediately stated: "Ah Xing, decide as you see fit, I have no objections."
Cui Tianxiao and Qi Ming nodded; Li Xing’s intelligence and strength exceed theirs by far, she would never make decisions that weren’t in her best interest—they just needed to trust her.
After pondering for a while, Li Xing stated: "As I said, the Zhi Bu Fu team’s sole goal is to take first place. While I’m not against a fight with you, I’m concerned another team might seize the flag while we’re fighting; we’d lose big time if that happened!"
Lin Yin waved his hand: "Easy, let them go grab the flag first, you stay behind!"
