In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 79, The Feathered Clan and the Soul Clan

"Is this the strength of the first squad?!"

"Three peak-level Tier 2 werewolves couldn't even hold out for long?!"

"These human women seem to be only at the mid-stage of the second tier, not even at the late stage of the second tier," a cat-human discovered the truth.

"Hiss! These must be the most talented individuals among humans. What is that person's identity? How could he get so many talented people to join his team!"

"Not only that, judging from that human's tone just now, none of these geniuses expressed dissatisfaction, which means that human's strength far surpasses that of the others!"

"..."

The creatures watching the battle were greatly shocked and whispered among themselves, speculating about Lin Ran's identity. Some of the humans even recognized a few of them.

Soon, the humans who were nearby learned the identities of Lin Ran and the others, and were even more shocked.

"Brother Lin, those people are talking about you."

Yan Lingfei leaned over and poked Lin Ran's cheek.

Lin Ran tilted her head, but didn't avoid it, and took a sip of juice.

"It's just a discussion, not worth paying attention to."

"Okay, you're the captain."

Yan Lingfei leaned closer and pinched Lin Ran's cheek.

Lin Ran remained expressionless and did not stop them.

Xingluo stood quietly to the side, smiling brightly, genuinely happy for Lin Ran's excellence.

So, everyone who witnessed this scene let it go.

"Holy crap! I can't take this anymore!"

"He's stirring up trouble here! Anyone want to beat him up? I'll pay!"

"I'll pay you to go beat him up, the kind where he lives or dies."

"Then forget it."

"Don't give up so easily. This person hasn't made a move yet, and who knows why he can't do it for some reason. Going up now is the safest thing to do."

"Hmm...that seems to make sense."

"..."

After a while of commotion, the noise suddenly subsided considerably.

The crowd was involuntarily separated.

A Soul Clan member with a semi-transparent body and twinkling starlight walked over with a Feather Clan member.

Both of them appeared to be human males, and their eyes would occasionally sweep over the heavy responsibility beside Lin Ran as they approached.

The Soul Clan stared intently at Zhou Yu, while the Feather Clan looked at everyone.

Yan Lingfei noticed them, frowned, and said, "Brother Lin, their eyes are annoying."

Lin Ran finished her juice and stood up.

Yan Lingfei's eyes immediately lit up; she had finally seen Lin Ran make a move!

Jian Linglong also cast a curious glance. She sensed that Lin Ran was dangerous, but she didn't know the extent of the gap between them.

Lin Ran handed the cup to Xing Luo, cracked her neck, and the room fell silent.

"Hey you over there, you little devil, where are you looking?"

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and began firing at the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan creature paused, looked at Lin Ran, and after a moment of surprise, revealed a mocking smile.

"Human, you are too arrogant..."

puff!

The Soul Clan member stopped mid-sentence, his expression freezing.

A slanted streak of light appeared on its body at some unknown time.

A streak of light ran through its entire body, cutting it in two from front to back, with countless cracks spreading from the streak of light across its translucent body.

boom!

The Soul Clan member's body exploded, and a semi-transparent crystal clattered to the ground.

At this time, the Soul Crystal of the Soul Clan contains the power and resentment of the Soul Clan. After eliminating the resentment, one can greatly increase one's spiritual power without any side effects!

The winged people who were still looking around were suddenly stunned, a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

It completely failed to see through Lin Ran's methods!

At that moment, Lin Ran looked over.

"You scraggly bird, can't you control your eyes, huh?"

The winged race was stunned for a moment, then instantly became furious.

"How dare you insult me!"

boom!

Lin Ran flashed forward and rushed in front of the Feather Clan member, slapping him across the face.

Instantly, bone fragments flew everywhere, and blood and teeth flew far away.

The winged creature was slapped so hard it spun three times in the air before crashing to the ground, instantly clearing a large space in the crowd.

The heads of the winged creatures were completely twisted and deformed, making them unrecognizable.

He lay on the ground twitching for a while before finally going completely still.

"It's dead!"

"Hiss! He was actually killed with a single slap! What kind of power is that!"

"As expected of a captain who can unite seven or eight people from the first plan, his strength is more than enough to warrant this position!"

"But his name is Feathered Bird? That's a pretty good name!"

"..."

The humans were in an uproar of excitement, and many of the cat-people were also happy, though some looked solemn.

The other races looked grave as they reassessed Lin Ran's strength.

Lin Ran slowly walked back to the top of the mountain, clapped her hands, and looked at the areas of the Feather Clan and the Soul Clan from afar.

The third-tier beings from both races looked over, and numerous gazes converged in the air, creating an invisible collision that made the atmosphere oppressive and gradually quieted the noisy crowd.

After a while, a third-tier creature from the Feather Clan emerged, its wings fluttering slightly as it flew towards Lin Ran.

At that moment, two people flew up from the crowd, exuding the aura of high-level awakened beings.

They smiled at Lin Ran in a friendly manner.

"You're still at Tier 2; leave the Tier 3 to us."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Lin Ran responded with a smile.

The secret realm hasn't opened yet, so avoid fighting if possible and focus on conserving your stamina to explore it.

The two third-tier humans looked at the third-tier winged race, and they sent out another third-tier.

then,

The two humans spoke without hesitation.

"You scruffy bird! Bring it on!"

Everyone: ...

Winged Clan: "You have already chosen your own path to death!"

boom!

The battle broke out, and everyone dodged, leaving the battlefield to the four third-tier players.

Lin Ran led his men back a bit, watching with great interest. He could occasionally see some of the techniques used by the Soul Clan and the Feather Clan, which were of great help to him, preventing him from taking detours later.

"Captain, look at those elves over there."

Suddenly, Yan Lingfei came over and pointed to three elves walking together not far away.

Lin Ran followed the gaze and saw an elf reveal a cruel smile as it made a cut across its neck.

then,

The elf's eyes suddenly widened, a line of blood appeared on its neck, its body tilted to the side, and its head fell off, rolling several times on the ground.

Lin Ran smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up:

"Wonderful!"

Everyone: ...

The other two elves looked grim, but remained silent as they hurriedly carried the corpse of the dead elf away.

Meanwhile, the crowd near Lin Ran's group quietly dispersed, worried that they might accidentally get caught in the crossfire.

Lin Ran watched the battle for a while, then took out the Soul Crystal that had been dropped by the Soul Clan member she had just killed.

There was a clear sense of resentment, but the core store was no longer there.

Soul crystals are formed only after the consciousness of a Soul Clan being is scattered.

If left untreated for a period of time, it will give rise to a new consciousness and become a demon.

Lin Ran squeezed the Soul Crystal with all her might.

The spreading soul power was covered by a large net formed by spiritual power and absorbed all at once.

Then I was put into the Reiki model with [emotion shielding].

In less than two minutes, the soul power was extracted, and the resentment was expelled from the soul space.

The soul power was integrated into the bright silver crystal in the spiritual space, without increasing the total amount, but only making the crystal stronger.
