Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 272 Lin Zhen's Confession

After watching Liu Zheng and his son leave, Lin Zhen looked calm and composed, his posture as straight as a pine tree, like a towering mountain, emitting a strong aura that makes people feel at ease. He raised his hand slightly towards Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi and said, "Come, sit down and talk." His voice was gentle but revealed an irresistible majesty.

The vicious look in Liu Xuan's eyes when he left just now naturally could not escape Lin Zhen's extremely sharp sense. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, which was filled with a bit of disdain and calmness, as if all this was within his expectations. He thought to himself: "This kid from the Liu family is not as skilled as others, but he still harbors resentment. He is really narrow-minded. With such a mentality, even if he has decent talent, it will be difficult for him to achieve great success in the future."

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi followed the instructions and sat down obediently. Lin Ruyi's face was still filled with excitement and concern. Her bright eyes were shining, as if she was still immersed in the fierce competition just now, and her heart was still beating for this wonderful duel. Shen Yun's face was calm, like a calm lake, deep and peaceful, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Lin Zhen looked into the distance with profound eyes, and said slowly: "This Liu Xuan, failed to win the competition but did not know how to reflect on himself, but instead held resentment. But it doesn't matter, with his temperament, it's difficult for him to achieve great things. Such a narrow-minded person is destined to not go far on the path of cultivation." His voice was low and powerful, like a huge bell, with wisdom and calmness accumulated over the years, and every word seemed to contain endless profound meaning.

Lin Ruyi couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad, will the Liu family father and son cause trouble in the future?" There was a hint of worry in her tone, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Lin Zhen gently patted Lin Ruyi's hand, and the warmth from his palm made Lin Ruyi feel a little relieved. He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ruyi, your father will handle it. The Liu family has always been competitive. After this setback, I believe they will not make any more moves in the short term. But you can't take it lightly, you need to stay vigilant at all times." His words were gentle but firm, like a shot of adrenaline, which gradually calmed Lin Ruyi's flustered heart.

Shen Yun nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Lin, what happened today may have caused the Liu family to lose face. We need to be more careful in the future." His eyes were firm and clear, revealing a maturity and stability far beyond his peers, which made people look at him with admiration.

Lin Zhen looked at Shen Yun approvingly and said, "Yun'er, the fact that you have such concerns shows that you are meticulous. But as long as we are strong enough, we don't need to be afraid of others. However, with the character of Liu Zheng, the old fox, they may not dare to make any high-profile moves on the surface, but in secret, I am afraid that some despicable means are inevitable. You must be more careful in the future to avoid being ambushed. You performed well today and brought honor to my Lin family. In the future, you must practice more diligently and must not slack off." His eyes were full of expectation and encouragement, and that fiery look seemed to ignite Shen Yun's inner fighting spirit.

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi responded in unison: "Yes, we will follow your instructions." Their voices were consistent and loud, full of determination, and echoed in the air like a vow.

Lin Zhen nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Yun'er, I saw that you seemed to be holding back during the competition just now. Tell me the truth, if you continue to fight, how confident are you of winning?" He stared at Shen Yun, his eyes as sharp as a sword, trying to find the truth from his answer.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun was impressed by Lin Zhen's insight, so he said, "If it's a life-and-death fight and I go all out, I'm confident that I can kill Liu Xuan within three moves; if I don't play any of my cards and simply fight a war of attrition with him, I will be the winner in the end." His tone was firm and confident, as if everything was under his control. His confident demeanor made people believe his words without a doubt.

Shen Yun had the confidence to say this. His upright posture seemed to contain endless power. Under the tempering of lightning spiritual power, the toughness and width of his meridians had long surpassed the average level.

The spiritual power of thunder and lightning is one of the most violent and overbearing forces in the world. Ordinary people try to avoid it, but Shen Yun brings it into his body to temper his own meridians.

After countless tortures and baptisms, his meridians were now extremely tough, as if they were made of the finest steel. No matter how powerful the impact was, it was difficult to damage them. The width of the meridians was even more astonishing, and spiritual energy flowed freely in them without any obstruction, like a surging river.

Therefore, if a war of attrition really breaks out, Liu Xuan will be the loser in the end. This is because Liu Xuan's meridians are far superior to Shen Yun's in terms of carrying and circulating spiritual power. Shen Yun's meridians can accommodate and quickly mobilize more spiritual power, allowing him to continuously output powerful power in battle, like a treasure trove of spiritual power that will never run dry.

As for Liu Xuan, when his spiritual power flows through his relatively narrow and fragile meridians, not only is the speed slower, but it is also prone to spiritual power exhaustion. In a protracted battle, as his spiritual power is constantly consumed, his attack power will gradually weaken, and he will eventually be unable to compete with Shen Yun, just like a spent force, with no power to fight back.

Shen Yun knew this very well, so when facing Lin Zhen's question, his answer was full of confidence and determination. This confidence was not blind arrogance, but was based on a clear understanding of his own strong strength, which was accumulated through countless life-and-death tests.

When Lin Zhen heard this, his face, which had not changed color for many years, showed a trace of shock. The shock was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking his usual composure. He looked at Shen Yun with complicated eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart: "This boy is gifted, and has such strong self-confidence and strength, his future is limitless."

On second thought, Shen Yun, who is so talented, was won over by his own daughter. Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel a mixture of pride and relief, as if he saw the glorious future of his family unfolding slowly before his eyes. Thinking of this, Lin Zhen looked at Lin Ruyi with satisfaction. His eyes were full of pride as a father and admiration for his daughter, as if saying, "My daughter has grown up, and her vision is amazing." At this moment, Lin Zhen seemed to see a beautiful picture of the future, his daughter and Shen Yun would work together to bring endless glory and hope to the family, and the family would flourish under their leadership and become a hegemon.

His daughter is not only gifted, but also has excellent vision. She is worthy of being his own. Lin Zhen secretly sighed in his heart. Lin Ruyi has shown extraordinary talent for cultivation since she was a child. She is smart and clever, and has attracted much attention in the family. She can always quickly comprehend the essence of the practice in cultivation, break through one difficulty after another, and become the object of everyone's envy. And now, in the critical life decision of choosing a partner, she has also shown a keenness and wisdom beyond ordinary people, and she immediately chose Shen Yun, the future star.

Lin Ruyi was overwhelmed by Lin Zhen's inexplicable look: Is the old man drunk? She was full of doubts, but she couldn't ask directly, so she could only mutter to herself in her heart.

After that, Lin Zhen said a few more words to the two of them, and then stood up and left. The tall figure gradually walked away, leaving Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi staring at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
