Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 285: The Necessary Trip

Proofread by Claire.KK

Everyone in Mist city was reveling in the final round of Province Test. It was noisy, lively and unprecedented.

But in the small courtyard, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Sitting at the stone table, Lin Xun fell into long silence after listening to Shue Jin’s words.

Only then did he know that the Queen of Dark Night Liulan Ji’nian had already guessed his birth background.

He was also surprised that a great figure of Tao Insight Realm would choose to betray Heiyao Shrine because of his background.

All of this made Lin Xun realize that the enemy who had poached his Spiritual Vein must be stronger and more terrible than he originally thought.

Otherwise, Zi Hun, the Tao Insight Realm betrayer, would not be desperate to reveal his identity.

His living must surprised those enemies.

Lin Xun had mixed feelings of both gratitude and anger, which was actually too complicated to describe. His chest was like pinned down by a stone, which made him feel sad.

Who was he?

Who poached his Spiritual Vein?

Lin Xun had thought about these problems many times. The only thing he could be sure of was that he had got the help of Master Lu and consequently kept alive.

It was a pity that Master Lu never talked these things to him. He didn’t give the clue to Lin Xun that he could only find out the truth in Ziyao Empire until the Mine Prison was destroyed.

Originally, Lin Xun planned to pass the Nation Test and enter The Green-deer School, where he could have huge resources to investigate all this.

But now he suddenly found that someone had known his life.

Why didn’t the Queen of Dark Night tell him earlier? Was there any secret in it?

Lin Xun didn’t understand. When he was about to get to the truth, he found that things were more complicated than he thought.

The silent Lin Xun made Shue Jin sigh in his heart, “The Queen said that you don’t have to go to the Forbidden City. In my view, this is the most sensible choice, because at least you will not encounter fatal danger.”

Lin Xun suddenly interrupted, “Old Jin, I never told you the reason why I entered the Ziyao Empire. Actually, I’m here to find my life indeed.”

Shue Jin frowned then, “I can probably think about this reason. But it’s a pity if you lose your life in search of your origin.”

After a pause, he took a deep breath and said, “Don’t you understand that the betrayal of Zi Hun is a signal to you? Those who prevent you from going to the Forbidden City are more terrible than you think. If you insist on your plan, you are doomed to be unlucky.”

Lin Xun answered Shue Jin thoughtfully, “Sure, but you placed that they will not send forces beyond Sea Spirit Realm to attack me, that is safe enough for me.”

Shue Jin frowned deeply, “You’re too naïve. Even if you enter the Forbidden City smoothly, how could you fight with these forces alone? To tell the truth, it’s easier for them to kill a little guy like you than to crush an ant in light of the strength they’ve shown!”

Lin Xun laughed immediately, “Old Jin, you’re wrong. They might not meant to kill me in this way! If they really want to kill me, they could send someone to Mist city directly.”

Speaking of this, there was a special luster flashed through Lin Xun’s clear black eyes, “I had an intuition that the reason why they didn’t come and kill me directly had nothing to do with Heiyao Shrine. They seem to have other plans.”

Shue Jin was shocked by Lin Xun’s analysis. He felt something strange before, but he didn’t expect Lin Xun to notice the clue so quickly.

Lin Xun announced firmly to Shue Jin then, “Old Jin, I must go to the Forbidden City. You don’t need to persuade me anymore.”

Looking at Lin Xun’s determined look for a long time, Shue Jin finally sighed softly without any more advice.

“Come on, have a drink. I don’t know how long we will meet again after I go to the Forbidden City. Don’t mention those disappointing things now. Let’s just have a drunk together!”

Lin Xun smiled brightly and took out a jar of wine.

“Hum, it’s not easy to make me drunk.”

Shue Jin made a cold hum, opened the wine jar with a pat and drank up-headed.

Lin Xun was happy knowing that Shue Jin agreed to his decision.

…

At the nightfall, the vigorous Province Test came to an end. 100 practitioners passed the examination in total.

Although the Province test was over, the discussion was not over. On the contrary, it became more and more intense.

The analysis of every classic battle and the final ranking of the winners of the Province Test became a hot topic.

Without exception, Lin Xun’s one-to-five battle in the third round of assessment was recognized as the most classic battle in this year’s Province Test.

At the same time, Lin Xun became the most popular candidate for the first place in the evaluation of comprehensive performance.

Although Lin Xun was the beneficiary of Province Test, he had no attention spared to all this.

The next morning, Lin Xun woke up from the hangover and went directly to Golden Hall to meet Gu Liang, who was busy.

As the Province Test ended, the popularity of Golden Hall had not declined. On the contrary, a large number of practitioners came every day, which made Golden Hall more popular.

All this should be attributed to Lin Xun’s strong effective propaganda.

In the quiet room, Gu Liang happily narrated the changes of Golden Hall these days. Sometimes he was excited with flying eyebrows, sometimes he was distressed and sighed.

Of course, his sighs were still full of joy.

Lin Xun sat there and listened quietly. He learnt that Gu Liang had started to prepare and refine the seven new spiritual tools, and he named them the Series of Golden Scale.

In the future, these spirituals would be crowned with the unique symbol of the Series of Golden Scale and became the first main series of Golden Hall.

Golden referred to Golden Hall, and the homophony of Scale was homophonic to Lin in Chinese, which referred to Lin Xun.

Golden Scale also meant auspiciousness and wealth. In old sayings, the golden scale represented powerful dragon.

It obviously took Gu Liang’s lots of thought to Golden Scale Series and he really attached high importance to it.

Neither Lin Xun nor Gu Liang could know what a sensation the spiritual tools of the Series would cause in the future. It was adored by countless practitioners like dazzling stars in the sky.

At this time, Lin Xun was just smiling and listening quietly. He could feel Gu Liang’s ambition. In fact, he envied Gu Liang very much. At least Gu Liang could pay all his attention on the road he liked.

“By the way, what are you doing here today?”

In the end, Gu Liang were aware that he forgot to ask the purpose of Lin Xun’s coming because of his exciting talks.

“When the final result of the Province Test comes out and I get the certificate, I will leave Mist City for Forbidden City. I’m here to tell you in advance.”

Lin Xun answered randomly.

“What? It’s too early.”

Gu Liang was shocked and reluctant, “We haven’t had a good drink together.”

Lin Xun said with a smile, “I also want to have a nice drink with you, but look at the present Golden hall, If you are drunk, who could preside over the overall situation.”

Gu Liang smiled bitterly. Indeed, he was so busy these days. Not to mention drinking, even his rest time was extremely limited.

“Alas, I’m inferior to you. You’ve passed the Province Test successfully and will become famous in Forbidden City. I envy you so much.”

Gu Liang sighed.

Lin Xun didn’t bother to give more response then. He got up and said goodbye, “Keep on working! I have to go to Keystone Business and the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists later.”

Gu Liang stood up and saw Lin Xun disappear in the street. He suddenly frowned ’cause he felt that today’s Lin Xun seemed to be different from the past, as if Lin was hiding something in heart.

In a moment, Gu Liang was too busy to think much about Lin Xun. Another VIP came to Golden Hall and he had to receive him in person.

…

Keystone Business.

When Lin Xun arrived, Mu Wansu was not there. She had gone to a mine to check the goods. It would take half a month at least for her to return.

Lin Xun shook his head for regrets and turned to leave. There were not many acquaintances in the Mist City. Mu Wansu was one of them.

Now that she was not here, it depended on the fate for them to meet again.

Of course, he should keep himself alive to have the chance of meeting in the future.

It wasn’t long before Lin Xun arrived at the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists and was warmly received by Chu Feng. They chatted for a while and Lin Xun announced his plan of leaving.

Chu Feng already knew that there would be such a day. After all, Lin Xun passed the Province Test, and with his combat power, he could definitely go to the Nation Test.

“If I’m not bothered with so many trifles, I must accompany you to the Forbidden City. That’s really a pity for me!”

Chu Feng said with emotion, “I haven’t been back to the Forbidden City for many years.”

“Elder brother, I have heard something about you. When you have a chance, I will help you to go back to the Forbidden City and get back what belongs to you.”

Lin Xun promised seriously. Mu Wansu had mentioned to him about the events on the celebration of Keystone Business, and she also told him more things about Chu Feng. Lin Xun finally knew that Chu Feng was been expelled from the clan and took refuge in Mist City

“How do you know…?”

Chu Feng was stunned. His mood fluctuated heavily. He never thought that Lin Xun would make such a promise at this time, which made him deeply touched with gratitude and surprise. He did not know how to respond at this moment.

However, Lin Xun stood up and comforted Chu Feng with a smile, “Elder brother, don’t need to say more. You can thank me when I have a chance to solve all the problems.”

Lin Xun left immediately then.

He met all the people he should have met and said all the things he should have said. Next, he need to prepare for the journey to the Forbidden City.
