Chapter 235: Mixed Water Technique
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After returning to the underground plain, Lin Yan put on the Mud Fruit armor again and returned to the place where Liu Lanqing and the others went into the water.
Fan Xiaopeng, Ning Xiaohui, and a few others were waiting here. When they saw Lin Yan come down, they complained, “What took you so long!”
Lin Yan looked at them deeply. “Something happened and 1 was delayed.”
These people were clearly familiar with each other, and Lin Yan gradually trusted them.
But now, all of them had become incomparably unfamiliar and could no longer be trusted.
Fan Xiaopeng dragged out a sack of White Jade Fire Lotuses and said excitedly, “Lin Yan, I’ll go up with you this time. Bring these White Jade Fire Lotuses up.”
Lin Yan shook his head. “Wait a moment. 1 have something urgent to report to
Issuer Liu.”
Seeing his serious expression, everyone became more serious.
After waiting for a moment, Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue returned together.
“Huh? Why aren’t you back yet?”
Lin Yan hurriedly went forward and said, “Issuer Liu, 1 have important matters to report alone!”
“Important matters?”
Liu Lanqing frowned. At this time, collecting the White Jade Fire Lotus was the most important thing. What else was there?
However, Lin Yan wasn’t someone who was impudent. Hence, Liu Lanqing nodded and handed a sack of Spirit Marrows to Ling Shuangxue before bringing Lin Yan to a greenish-blue tree at the side.
“You can talk now.”
Lin Yan’s expression was serious as he looked deeply at Liu Lanqing. “Issuer Liu, Venerable White told me that you shouldn’t go up for the time being! You can go up after all the White Jade Fire Lotuses are collected!”
“Why?”
Lin Yan shook his head. “He didn’t say…”
It was naturally impossible for Lin Yan to mention the Chaotic Fog again. Liu Lanqing was no longer trustworthy.
Therefore, he deliberately fabricated Bai Ling’s words and let Liu Lanqing guess for himself.
As expected, a hint of seriousness appeared in Liu Lanqing’s eyes, as if she had imagined many things.
“Alright, since Old White has said so, let’s wait for a while…”
Lin Yan’s heart tightened as he watched Liu Lanqing leave.
The lake was here. He could go down if he wanted to.
However, the lake was so wide that it required a lot of breath-holding to dive deep.
He could control his muscles and bones with his current strength and circulate his strength, and the time he could hold his breath would be greatly extended. However, it was probably not enough to find a way out of this lake.
When Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue returned after collecting the White Jade Fire Lotus, Lin Yan found Liu Lanqing, who was about to leave, and asked directly, “Issuer Liu, 1 wonder if you know some martial arts techniques that can increase your ability to hold your breath? I want to go down to this lake to explore the depths.”
“Hold your breath?” Liu Lanqing shook her head. “I don’t know. Lin Yan, this lake is filled with Poison-Toothed Trout. It’s too dangerous to go down.”
Lin Yan looked rather disappointed. “I’m just curious about the bottom of the lake. Perhaps there are more Unusual Items hidden under the lake?”
These words tempted Liu Lanqing. She thought that Lin Yan wasn’t afraid of poison and didn’t need to wear an anti-poison suit. If anyone among them could enter the lake, it would be Lin Yan.
If Lin Yan could find more Unusual Items at the bottom of the lake, it would be another gain.
Liu Lanqing turned around and asked Ling Shuangxue, “What about you? You should know some martial arts techniques that can extend the time you can hold your breath, right?”
Ling Shuangxue said indifferently, “Ah Qing, you can ask. Of course there is, but it’s not with me.”
Liu Lanqing snorted coldly. “There’s no need to talk nonsense. Spit out what you know!”
Ling Shuangxue was not angry. “Ah Qing, you can think about it yourself. The people from Jade Whale Sect are here in this Dingdeng Genius Battle. Their unique technique, the ‘Mixed Water Technique’, is specially used in the water. They can swim and come and go as they please.”
Liu Lanqing raised his eyebrows slightly. “Of course I know that the Jade Whale Sect has come! However, this Jade Whale Sect is not a small force. Moreover, the ‘Mixed Water Technique’ is their specialty. It’s not spread to outsiders at all. Isn’t it equivalent to not saying anything?”
Ling Shuangxue spread her hands. “Then 1 have no choice. This kind of martial arts technique with special uses has always been precious. Naturally, it won’t be easily spread.”
Liu Lanqing snorted again and shook her head at Lin Yan. Unfortunately, she said, “In that case, 1 have no choice.”
Ling Shuangxue scrutinized Lin Yan. “It’s just wishful thinking. What’s there to pity?
“Martial arts with special uses like the Mixed Water Technique are famous for being difficult to practice. Even if you have the chance to obtain it now, you won’t be able to reach the realm without a few months of effort.
“You should give up on this idea as soon as possible.”
With that, she turned around and walked towards the lake again.
Liu Lanqing comforted him. “Ling Shuangxue’s words are harsh, but true. This lake is still too dangerous. If you’re not confident, don’t try it easily.”
With that, he left.
Only Lin Yan was left standing at the back. He lowered his head slightly to hide the glint in his eyes.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested.
The Mixed Water Technique had such an effect, and the people from Jade
Whale Sect happened to be in this underground world…
Lin Yan closed his eyes and used the perception of his clones to quickly sense the other places where someone was.
There were a few people who were exploring in a low profile manner. There were also two other places where someone had a conflict with the Corpse Buddha Cockroach.
Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “The people from Jade Whale Sect better not court death and provoke the Corpse Buddha Cockroach…”
With this in mind, he bade farewell to Wu Qinglei and quickly left. He first rushed to the underground waterway and found the place where the White Jade Fire Lotuses were previously hidden. He quietly took out two.
If possible, he still wanted to obtain the “Mixed Water Technique” in exchange.
If not possible…
Thinking of the chaotic fog that was constantly approaching, the cold light in Lin Yan’s eyes stacked…
No matter what, he had to obtain the Mixed Water Technique!
After packing the White Jade Fire Lotuses, Lin Yan flew like lightning and followed the perception of his clones to find the first team of prefecture capital experts slowly advancing.
“Who’s there!”
“Come out!
Lin Yan slowly walked out. There were a total of eight people in this team. They should be people from two factions who had joined forces to explore together.
“It’s you!”
“That lucky brat!”
“Why are you following us secretly?!”
“You came at the right time…”
The eight of them glared covetously and surrounded him. They stared at Lin Yan and released their malice without hiding it.
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. “Are you from Jade Whale Sect?”
“Jade Whale Sect? You think we’re that group of water monkeys?”
“How can a mere Jade Whale Sect compare to the reputation of our Dragon Sparrow Pavilion!”
It wasn’t Jade Whale Sect. Lin Yan turned around and left, but the eight of them had already surrounded him.
“Wait! You think you can come and go as you please?”
“Kid, if you know what’s good for you, quickly explain the origin and effect of that strange soft armor!”
“Also, tell me, did you secretly draw a map? Hand it over immediately! Otherwise, how can you walk so smoothly!”
Lin Yan glanced at them coldly. He had no time to tangle with these eight people. With a raise of his hand, the Savage Flame instantly expanded, and more than ten Savage Flame weapons shot out.
The expressions of the eight people changed drastically as they retreated. At the same time, they burst forth with forces and used various methods to block the Savage Flame weapons with all their might.
Lin Yan didn’t even look at them. He flew quickly to find his next destination.
There was a loud bang.
More than ten huge pits appeared out of thin air on the ground. Smoke and dust filled the air, and several greenish-blue giant trees fell, turning this place into ruins.
All eight of them were pale as a sheet as they sat on the ground, panting heavily.
They were all injured, and four of them were lying on the ground with serious injuries. Their eyes could not help but be filled with shock.
What was that pitch-black weapon!
They tried their best, but they could not dissipate or resist it!
In fact, they could not even dodge it completely!
If not for the fact that Lin Yan was in a hurry and did not attack their vital points, more than half of them would have died here!
Everyone exchanged glances. Apart from fear and shock, they also revealed some doubts. “How can a Black Grade Force Feature be so powerful?”
No matter how shocked they were, Lin Yan quickly flew to his next target, then the next, then the next…
Most of these scattered teams were formed by one or two factions and explored separately. The stupid ones had already gone against Corpse Buddha
Cockroaches.
The smart ones determined that the Mud Fruit had a special effect from the way they wore the Mud Fruit armor previously. They also tried to subdue and control the Mud Fruit, but it was useless.
Every time Lin Yan found a faction, he would ask if it was the Jade Whale Sect.
However, none of them were.
Most of the factions restrained themselves. There were also a small number of factions like Dragon Sparrow Pavilion who wanted to interrogate Lin Yan about the secrets of the underground waterways. However, they were all crushed by Lin Yan’s Savage Flame and were either dead or crippled.
“Not again. The next target…”
Lin Yan’s expression was solemn as he immediately left and sped towards his next target.
Before he could get close, Lin Yan heard scattered voices.
A voice said, “Old Sun, you have to be careful!”
Another person said disdainfully, “Who isn’t at the Black Grade Noble Realm? If he dares to cause trouble for our Jade Whale Sect, I’ll definitely make him die!”
The person’s voice was a warning. “Don’t let your guard down! That Lin Yan is something. It’s fine if his opponents were at the ordinary Yellow Grade Noble Realm, but that Black Grade Du Li was not his match either. He was defeated in one move!”
The other person gasped. “Impossible! Isn’t Du Li called ‘Iron Wall’? He has the
Jade Muscle Force Feature. Even 1 can’t shake him. How can he be defeated in one move!”
“That’s right. Even Iron Wall Du Li was defeated in one move. Even if Lin Yan isn’t a Jade Grade, he definitely has an extremely powerful Black Grade force!”
“Jade Grade? That’s impossible! You and I know very well how precious Jade Grade Unusual Items are!”
“Who knows? He can come and go as he pleases in this underground waterway. Who knows what fortuitous gains he can obtain?”
“He’s from the lower city. What a lucky kid… Forget it, forget it. Let’s just hide from him. Let’s take a look. We’ll use the Three Phases Water Cage to catch this strange monster…”
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally found them!
“Who’s there!”
“Hiss… Lin Yan!
As he could enter and leave the underground waterways, Lin Yan was already famous in the camp. Therefore, he was immediately recognized the moment he appeared.
This was a group of thirteen or fourteen people, but they were not on the same path. Clearly, the two sides had coincidentally met here.
Lin Yan glanced at everyone and was slightly surprised.
In the group on the left, there was a round ball of water that was ten feet wide floating in the air. It was wrapping a purple-black Mud Fruit that was slowly squirming inside, but the Mud Fruit could not escape.
Of course, the ball of water did not float in the air without any support. Instead, there were three people standing in three directions. They stretched out their palms and pressed them against the water wall.
Lin Yan could naturally tell that the three of them were continuously injecting force. Its special Force Feature maintained this floating water ball..
